Ok, so I'm a Kikyou fan and no, I don't hate Kagome. But this is my thoughts on all you Kikyou haters out there. All I have to say is geezz give it a rest, will ya. I'm not here to tell you that you should like Kikyou. You can hate her all you want or any characters for that matter. But don't turn her into something she's NOT. I have been to a few Kikyou hater sites and their info of her is totally unjust and really one sided. They turned her into some type of sickly, evil girl who is out to get Inuyasha and Kagome. The number one reason why people hate her so much is because she came between Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship, others say it's because she's evil, and some says she's dead, should remain dead, and has no business walking around.
First of all, Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship has problem is because of Inuyasha, not Kikyou. Kikyou gave up on Inuyasha, because she knows she is dead and can't go back to the way thing was between them. She distanced herself from Inuyasha. Every time they ran into each other, she always end up leaving him behind. If she really wanted to break up Inuyasha and Kagome, then she would have stick around and be part of the group. Then Kagome would be out of a job, since Kikyou can also sense jewel shards. So if you want to blame somebody, Inuyasha is a good start.
Second, Kikyou is not evil. How the hell did people came up with that idea anyway? Is it because she tried to kill Inuyasha when she first appeared? Or is it because she doesn't like Kagome? Yes, she did want Inuyasha dead at first, but can you blame her? She was brought back to life against her wish, and the first person she saw was the one she loved and believed that he had betrayed her. Heck, you would be pissed too. On their second encounter, she wanted to take him to hell with her because Inuyasha told her that he had never stop thinking about her. To her, it's better to be together in hell, than to live and not be able to forget about her. No, she did not do that out of hate, but love, just so they could be together. If you just follow the story, it's obvious that she is still love Inuyasha. Ok, she doesn't like Kagome and tried to kill her ONCE, but does that make her evil?? NO, it's natural for her not to like Kagome. Kagome has her soul, the man she loved, and pretty much the life she could have if she was still alive. Her jealousy of Kagome doesn't make her evil. How can she be evil if she travels around helping the sick and injured people?
Oh, and for the "she is dead and should remain dead" argument. There is a thing called an unrest soul. Don't forget how she died. The reason why she is still walking around is to kill Naraku and have her revenge. There is nothing wrong with wanting a little justice for your death.
So, if you want to hate Kikyou, go ahead. But just don't turn her into a cold hearted, bitchy monster. Kikyou is an independent and solitary person. She is strong, and doesn't rely on others to protect her. She knows what she want and goes for it. What I like most about her is that she is not one of those weakling girls, who needs to be comfort.
