Dear Pro-Kagome Guild: So, why DO we hate her? 0___0;

[LadyUsako]

On the first point, yes she does do that alot. Tell me though, what would you do in her shoes? Fight the demon that's ten times stronger then you are, or run for dear life yelling for the one person who can help. And she has been brave and faced a few on her own.

True, but she' from another era. The fact that she taught herself how to use that bow from never using one in her life is pretty cool too. You can only do somuch and Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku have been fighting demons for a lot longer then she has. It's not exactly something a person can just jump into.

Again, she's someone from another era. She does the best she can and tries to use her brains at times too. Sango has trained al her life for fighting demons, same with Miroku and Inuyasha. You gotta give her credit for even going ven though she knows she isn't capable of what the others are.

She carries the shards because she can purify them with a touch. She offered one to Miroku and even he noticed it. That was why he let her hang onto it instead. And it wouldn't matter who had them, he would find out eventually, there are only so many that could have them.

Wouldn't you if the guy you loved was in love with two people at the sametime? One being dead and the other being alive? I would be and I'd be whinny too. You can't help who you fall in love with. Yeah, that he does, but that doesn't take away the hurt of watching the man you love in the arms of another. Come on now. Even still, Inuyasha kinda wants to have his cake and eat it too. Even if Kikyo wants nothing to do with him. That's not Kagome's fault.

They think she's a great person because she is kind. Everyone gets mad and Inuyasha and her fight like two kids that like eachother, but won't admit it to eachother. If you really look at it, theyare really always there for eachother. Unlike Kikyo, Kagome accepts Inuyasha for who she is. She doesn't want him to change to a demon because she doesn't want to see someone she cares about like that, and she would never let him change to a human to be with her. She would rather have him as is, though she will accept his decision no matter what he decides.

I disagree with that. She' alot more accepting of her destiny then any of us wold be. She also accepts people for who they are no matter what. Can we all say the same? She has a good heart and does her best to help people.Even if,in the beginning, they tried to decieve her. I know I wouldn't be so forgiving, would you? Would you be so accepting of a half-demon? I would probably have freaked out if it were me.

Ok, I have to agree that some of the times she slams him into the ground is stupid. Other times though, it's either because he deserved it, or because he needed it.

Everyone sees that side of her, but the fact of how well she has adapted to the new era and done so much that they see. Not her flaws, they concentrate on the good. I honestly try to do that with every person I meet. The stuff she has accomplished over comes the other things. Some people say certain people who invent certain things are awesome. They don't focus on the failures to ake the said invention, they concentrate on the finished product.

Um.... I think Kikyo broke it off when she tried to kill him. So, it's really the other way around. Considering that, een though she found out she was tricked, she still wanted him dead. That's how I'd see it if I was Inuyasha.

That's not fair to say at all. Kagome has done her best to keep her distance in relationship wise to Inuyasha. How many times has she tried to leavefor that reason. It's Inuyasha who tells her that he needs her there with him, even says so in the first movie. Mixed signals are never fun and she does her best. That's all anyone can do.

Um.... yes actions speak louder then words. But when the actions are conflicting, it's not exactly easy to figure out.

I haven't seen the whole series yet, so let me know when Kikyo dies for Inuyasha? I remember her dying thinking that he killed her and pinned him to a tree. If you can clear that up for me, I'd be greatful. Though Kagome almost died for Inuyasha. If it wasn't for the Celestial Robe in the second movie, she would have died right there. And somethings are easier said then done.

Um.... no, she represents a fifteen year old. A student in school. Not an a** kicking adult. That's an unfair judgement.

And she does help sometimes, but she is only a teenager in another era after all.

Another thing that makes her special is that, unlike the others, she doesn't have a personal gain for finding the Shikon no Tama. That is why she is in a sense more innocent then the others. That's why it responds to her in purity. She has no personal gain. to have it. The powers, she's still gaining in a way. After all, they still are no where near Kikyo's power level.

She does care about his well being. Like wen she saved him from the spider demon. And the other times he tried to fight as a human. Even times where he fought as a demon. Like when he was fighting his brother and got really injured, she didn't want to tell him that his brother was in league with Naraku till he was fully heale and she risked her life to try and help him in that same fight. She also knows that she isn't a match for demons. She isn't stupid.

Only because she can purify them.*points to where she said something about that earlier in the post.

Yeah, she's been there for a while, but she hasn't trained all her life to fight demons. The others have an advantage against her. And in one of the episodes, it's been proven that without Kagome to protect, he doesn't realise his own true power.

To conclude, you all expect way to much of a fiften year old in my opinion. She has this huge destiny ahead of her and she has no choice in the matter as it follows her even to her own time. It's alot to take for one fifteen year old who, the day before, just had to worry about homework and passing grades. Give her some credit for trying atleast.

I guess each opinion is good, but I prefer my own. To each their own as the saying goes. Laters. 4laugh
