Welcome to Gaia! ::

It comes to my mind that Inuyasha is in a very unhealthy relationship. Think about it. The necklace means that Kagome has total control of him. She can hurt and incapacitate him whenever she wants. It would be like if she periodically smashed a beer bottle on his head. It's superficially funny, but it seems kinda creepy to me. It's like physically abusive men are sick, but physically abusive women are just entertaining? Inuyasha doesn't really have the psychological capacity to retaliate either. He can't hurt Kagome because that would go completely against who he now is, so the only thing he can do is act rude and pump up the insecurity-coating bravado. It seems to me a lot like slavery. If there was a race of demons that went around putting shock-collars on humans, it would certainly be viewed as that.

Thoughts?

If she did give him the necklace however, Naraku wouldn't be able to decieve her. She'd realize the sit-commands didn't work and know the ruse before she died. As a result, when she got ressurected all pottery-like, she wouldn't be all "DIE INUYASHA!"

Ihate to do this sweatdrop but I totolly have to agree 3nodding 3nodding with you on this

It is true that, when she put the necklace on him initially, he was trying to kill her.

However, over time, they came to build a kind of trust. Yes, she has saved his life. He has saved hers many more times over. Yes, it's true that sometimes Inuyasha is a dickweed with all the emotional sensitivity of an autistic hitman and the tact of an air-to-ground missile. She can chastise him for that by using a thing called "words" (at least, words like "you two-timing manwhore" as opposed to words like "sit!") instead of delivering the thaumaturgical equivalent of a beer bottle to the forhead. It's something that mature people do. A relationship built on the threat of violence can never be a healthy one.

Inuyasha is immature, grouchy, insensitive, and ill-tempered. However, I wish to point out that he has never physically harmed Kagome. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but non-magical words are no excuse to do harm to others.

Kagome and Shippo are complaining about how stupid Inuyasha can be, and I'm pretty sure a small concusion isn't going to help him in any way...just had to add that. xd

I dunno further on into the anime you find that kagome actually feels something for inuyasha. I think she just keeps it on so he doesnt go running off all the time. If you ask me she keeps in on their to keep him with her, and not with kikyo. Maybe a jealous thing or just an affection for love. But if however she did take it off, I think inuyasha would stay with kagome. No matter what.

You got that right! xd

I totally get what your saying and I agree with most of it but Inuyasha is a demon so I guess it really dose not hurt him that much not that I'm making exuses or anything. xp
