Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
With their arch enemy Naraku always seeming to be a step ahead and not knowing what hardship was going to befall the group next, one would think that Kagome would have her hands full. But she also had to go home from time to time and catch up on her studies. Inuyasha never understood why she felt that keeping up on her studies was so important, but on the other hand she was not in danger when she was in her time, so he would allow it but not without constant grumbling the whole time she was gone. If Inuyasha felt that Kagome had been gone too long he would go get her from the future, which would make one think that he had imprinted on Kagome if it were not for the Miko Kikyo.
Kikyo used to care for the Shikon no Tama until one fateful day her, and Inuyasha were tricked into hating each other. This led to Inuyasha being stuck to a tree , and, Kikyos body. And she found herself in the Feudal Era, where power the hungry sought after the jewels power. Once Kikyo was resurrected she could have made life simpler, by making herself not an option for Inuyasha, but she loved to torment him, and at the same time this hurt the only person who loved him for him, and could make him happy.
Kagome gave up time with her family in the future to help in the search for the jewel shards, and their enemy Naraku. But mostly to be there and, love Inuyasha's imperfections and all never concentrating the fact that he was half demon. She just loved him for him,and because of this the story truly takes is one that affects, many, and could really have so many endings. Most of them hurting someone in the end just for one persons happiness, it really seems sad and unfair. everything in the end is up to Kagome, and what she feels which keeps balance in life. Being the caring person that she is , she worries about others, and puts their needs before hers sacrificing much, and gaining nothing.
