Summary: Inuyasha always defends Kikyou
Ever since Kikyou had revived he had been carrying water for her. When Kikyou tried to kill him, he hugged her . If souls were needed used to animate Kikyou, Inuyasha felt Kikyou justified in using them. It was his fault that she was killed because he did not believe in her. It allowed him to ignore the fact that Kikyou had not saved him in the Kohdaku and the Illusory Death and tried to kill Kagome. If Kikyou told him that she had a plan to kill Naraku by giving him the shards, he believed her. When Kikyou was attacked by Naraku, Inuyasha became convinced that he must leave Kagome to protect Kikyou even though Kikyou did not want his protection. He thought he owed her his life because she had died following after him
He defended her even though Sango and Kagome hated her and all of his friends felt that she was no good. He searched for her even though it left Kagome at Naraku's mercy. He tried to strengthen his sword so that he could kill Naraku before Kikyou used Kohaku's shard to do to purify Naraku because he believed that Kikyou was not the kind of woman who could kill another person to achieve her end.
In the end he cried because he could not save Kikyou. She was just happy that he always had faith in her so that she could spend a moment of happiness with him as an ordinary woman.
