Summary: Kikyou is shocked when she discovers that Inuyasha may love Kagome more
She had been sure of his love when he agreed to her plan to use the Sacred Jewel so that they could live together as husband and wife. Even in death she had been sure of his love. She could not bring herself to kill him.. She felt only love and sadness as she tried to hug him as he hung on the tree. Instead of saving herself she had followed him in death.
His actions after her resurrection confirmed to her that he still loved her. He had embraced her,
tried to save her and refuse to try kill her or defend himself. . If he loved her, then surely he would want to die with her..
She began to gather her strength by using the soul of the dead girls. She formulated plans to lure the hanyou to her..
When she met him again his actions confirmed her belief in his love. When he proclaimed that he could not go a day without thinking about her, the sentiment overwhelmed her so much that she kissed amd hugged him . They could be together forever.
Her reincarnation ruined her plans. She had pulled the stolen souls from her and awakened Inuyasha with her voice.
Kikyou was unprepared for what he happened next. Instead of staying with her and allowing her to pull him into hell with her, he rushed to the side of the girl from the future and freed her from the tree.
Kikyou was in shock. She had never imagined that he would prefer that girl to her. All of her pretense fell away. Her mask disappeared. A forlorn look spread across her as she blurted
out the pain that her heart felt at that moment " Is that girl more precious to you than me?"
