So we finally get an introspective look into the day that changed every-one’s lives and the tragic fate of Kagome’s family and the circumstances of her survival. I’m glad we finally understand where her deep rooted strength and religious beliefs originated from and how they have transformed her into who she is. This knew information gives her character more of a ‘human’ feel. In some ways, it makes me connect with her character more on a baser level. This is also reflected in Inuyasha’s reaction. Its good to see that he can finally shed his stereotype and misconceptions as well as his fears and some of his guilt for being attracted to (and possibly in love with) Kagome.
This was a chapter I think a lot of readers have been waiting for. We are now left with a light emotional cliff hanger of sorts. So, what happens now? Will Inuyasha revert back to his old ways by letting guilt or insecurity over take him, therefore for pushing Kagome away? After the night they shared I certainly hope not. Will we get a confession of love from Inuyasha?
I have to say, I feel the ball is pretty much in Inuyasha’s court. Kagome has literally given all of herself to him. With open arms she has completely embraced hims as ‘just himself’. I think we may finally see the turn in this story where Inuyasha lets Kagome begin to help him heal.
This is a wonderful story and I can’t wait until the next update.
