Summary Kikyou sorts out her feelings for Inuyasha
Tsubaki having been disposed of she returned to contemplation of the sakura trying to make sense of her feelings. Once she had been confident that she would never fall in love, but Tsubaki was right. She had already lost her heart to Inuyasha.
The feelings which she vowed never to have when she became a miko, the desire for love, a husband and a family were overwhelming her. Her duty to the kami and her protection of the Sacred Jewel had all become secondary to her feelings.
Once she had mocked Tsubacki's curse. She had no fear of a violent death because she would never fall in love. Tsubacki was right. She had been cold. She had been a miko not a woman, but she had already renounced her vows.
There must be a way for the two of them to be together. A way to become the ordinary woman that she yearned to be. If only she had not taken on the guardianship of the Jewel they could be live together as husband and wife.
All that prevented their happiness was the Jewel. If the Jewel were to disappear, she could become an ordinary woman. Inuyasha wanted her as much as she wanted him. Surely, he would help her.
When Inuyasha told her that 'it was not like you' she had dropped her mask revealing her true self In that moment enemies had become lovers with just one look. There was no way either could turn back now.
