Kagome appreciated the companionship of the monk especially since he wasn't being lecherous at the moment. "What would you do in my position?" she asked him as she looked at him from the corner of her eye. Perhaps she should have fallen in love with him instead despite being lecherous he was true in his affections; she could see that with the way he acted towards Sango.

"Kagome, I don't think I'd have the capability to love like you. You love him even though he does not know what he wants."

"I cannot fault him. She was his first love."
