inu-kik:I keep seeing all of these posts about how InuYasha and Kikyou were never really in love.You absolutely cannot tell me they weren’t in love. Look at the way they they grab at each other. Look at the way they protect each other. Look at the way Kikyou mourns the loss of InuYasha, in recognizing that KAGOME will be the one to heal InuYasha’s heart and let him see what unconditional love is when it was always HER intention to show him such affection and adoration. Look at the way InuYasha, even when she was hateful and angry upon her return, wanted nothing more than to protect her, and pulled her close, holding her in desperation, knowing that she could kill him- and even when she TRIED, he still went and saved her AGAIN, because he LOVED her. Still loves her. And against all better judgement on her part, in all of her worse situations, she always goes to him, always finds him, without even realizing it until she’s wrapped in his arms again. She lost nearly all of her spiritual powers because she’d fallen so in love with him.Those two loved each other. Everyone talks about how “comfortable” InuYasha and Kagome were with each other, and I’ll say that they were, but InuYasha and Kikyou were, too. He doesn’t just snatch her around for protection like people imply, he pulls her into his arms in a loving embrace, nearly every time. This tells me that, at one time or another, he was comfortable with her, too, just like Kagome. Comfortable enough to hug her without shame or remorse, and cradle her close. It really tears me apart when people say these two didn’t love each other to try and justify InuKag more. It makes me so sad. InuYasha loved and loves BOTH of them so very much, its just different relationships. Stop destroying such a beautiful love story to justify the other. Kagome and Kikyou are both InuYasha’s soul-mate, hence the whole, ya know, soul thing. Entirely different people, but the same love. That same, whole-hearted, love you to death, love.InuKik will always be my OTP, but InuYasha loves both of them, and I don’t see him ever loving one or the other “more.” He didn’t make it into a competition between two of the most beautiful female characters I’ve ever seen. Why do you have to?It makes me sad to surf the InuYasha tag sometimes./rant -- source link
