Kagura and the Infant were forced to retreat, but not before warning that they would keep trying to use Kagome's eyes to find the remaining Shikon Jewel shards.

Miroku ends up landing on a higher level ground than Sango. He then faced a possible beating from Sango for lying again, and he nervously tells her, "It was so long ago..." Hearing Kagome and Shippō's voices below them, Miroku and Sango cleared some of the clumps away to see them in an abyss below. Despite this, Miroku does proceed to fall deeply in love with Sango, repeatedly risking his life for her and always making sure she never puts herself in harm's way unnecessarily, admitting he loves her.

Miroku then states that Inuyasha must be in love with Kagome. He speculated all possibilities and comes to the most likely answer. This bit of information catches Inuyasha's attention, who immediately speculates that Naraku was the demon who disguised himself as Inuyasha and killed Kikyō all those years ago. He has an obsession for women and has fondled them even in the middle of serious conversation or suffering from injuries or poison.

However, he received painful slaps and other beatings for doing such; however, he didn't seem to mind.

However, his heart began to heal through the strong bonds he formed with his companions, healing his loneliness as time passed. He soon hears someone, and it turns out that Kagome is bathing completely naked in a nearby hot spring as well without Lucy's company. She saw Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo were coming toward where she was.Inuyasha wonders what the monk is doing, as he holds out his right hand.

By now, Sango knew what Miroku did, just to fight by her side. He is insightful and can sense changes in enemy movements. He soon proposes to Sango, who accepts without hesitation, becoming his fiancée and probably the mother of his many children, maybe even 20 of them, which is a big number even for their time. Miroku asks Kikyō not to reveal anything to his friends. Said Lucy with a sigh anyway. Chapter 57 : The Bond Between Them, Use the Sacred Jewel Shard!

Kagome then remembers how Miroku had earlier yelled for the people of the village to escape from the area, and she surmises that he does not want to hurt humans. He never adopts a pushy attitude, but instead is nonchalantly attentive such as when he acted towards Sango over Kohaku. The Kazaana (風穴, かざあな, "Wind Hole"), also known as the Wind Tunnel, was a curse placed on Miroku 's grandfather by Naraku; it would go on to become Miroku's most famous technique. Dazed, Sango tries to get her Hiraikotsu to attack tentacles coming at her but it was going to be too late, and Miroku is forced to use his Wind Tunnel to protect Sango. Sango, Kirara, and Miroku were the ones fighting the yōkai, meaning to protect Kagome and Shippō.
