If you think about, an ambulance is just a sadness chamber on wheels. It's an improvement.

Nice one! This looks really amazing looking for reals! I have a few questions to ask by the way. Sorry if I come off random you know? If you could, would make a action-style video game would you? Or hire people to make a video game with your ideas and concepts.

While Inuyasha did love Kikyo, to me Kikyo's love was selfish on her part as she asked Inuyasha to become human for her and not of his own choice as she wanted to be free of her responsibilities as a priestess. Kagome accepted Inuyasha as a half demon and told him there was nothing wrong with staying as he is, showing Inuyasha unconditional acceptance and love and helped him through their time together.
And while Inuyasha was trying to tell Kikyo what really happened fifty years ago was the doing of Naraku, Kikyo wouldn't listen to him and just wanted inuyasha dead, proving that her love for him wasn't truly deep and that she was more upset about losing the shard and her chance of freedom and that their relationship was based on sympathy and their desire to be free of what they were born into/as.
While I'm glad she learnt the truth before she died and she and Inuyasha made up, Kagome is a better match as she is what Kikyo should have done for Inuyasha from the beginning.
And I can imagine in this pic when Kikyo makes the wish Inuyasha to stay human, Inuyasha would say, "I'm sorry Kikyo, but that's not your call. Whether I become human or demon is my choice to make.....but I want to stay half demon.....because Kagome loved me and accepts me as one.....farewell."

While I don't think she was outright using him, (I concede that point), I think that she really just didn't understand certain things; that it was more of the idea of a way to her freedom from her duties, and that InuYasha was a way to that freedom that Kikyou fallen in love with, rather then with InuYasha-himself; demanding that he part with a half of himself, rather than love the whole of him.
Think about it, she goes on and on about wanting to an 'ordinary woman', to be able to discharge all of her duties and her responsibilities--but I don't think that she understood that so-called 'ordinary woman' have their own duties and responsibilities. And that 'ordinary' is all a matter of perspective...
I remember a quote from an episode of 'Monkey' (a Japanese tv series from the late 70's; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_(… ); "Buddha says 'your work is to discover your work, then, with all of your heart, give yourself to it'". Kikyou was trained as a Miko (although besides the fact that Kaede is her younger sister, we know nothing about her background), but clearly could not give herself to her work. By contrast, in my opinion, Kaede (while not being in the same level as Kikyou in terms of spiritual powers) is the better Miko because she puts her heart into her work--it shows in her work. Another quote from 'Monkey'; "Buddha says 'freedom is a very empty word with responsibility/duty'" (and as Leonard H. Courtney said, "constant vigilance is the price of freedom"); Kikyou has this rather narrow view of what an 'ordinary woman' is, that it is the answer to all her prayers, while Kagome understands that nomality is all in the eye of the beholder and just what you make of it.
There all of these details that don't add up; and this is why, even without Kagome, the romance supposedly between InuYasha and Kikyou just does not sit right with me...
For example, as InuYasha-himself testifies that, back when he was trying to get past Kikyou to get his hands on the jewel, for all of his speed and agility, he just could not bypass her and her spiritual senses and marksmanship--and she knew it--but then Naraku-as-InuYasha succeeds and not once does she check to see if it was really him or not? She was just SO ready to believe the worst of him that she even had an sealing arrow especially prepared with his name on it. She was more prepared, ready and willing to believe in the capabilities of the jewel, but not truely in InuYasha... As I understand from the series, that if one is any kind of an heir to spiritual power (Shinto, Buddhist, etc.), then you can channel that power into an object through your hands. Heirs to the spiritual powers of a Miko, like Kikyou, can-&-do pre-prepare arrows, say for more power, for a specific purpose (such as sealing), even to be more effective against certain Youkai (like using soil from Onigumo's cave to anoint arrows), etc., etc. It makes you wonder what would have happened if she made it to her meeting with InuYasha uninterupted and InuYasha were to have made the wish she told him to make for her: Odds are, I think, as the jewel doesn't really grant wishes, that it would simply have recreated the effect of InuYasha's human night and then just sealed it into place, only creating the illusion of a human mortal--but on their human nights, I believe, a hanyou's youkai doesn't simply vanish, but rather the flow of it slows down to a minimum crawl (you'll notice that InuYasha's pupils remain slitted like always), and Kikyou would have still been able to probe and sense them regardless. And then what? If Naraku was to have shown-up then, InuYasha wouldn't have stood a chance. If Naraku still hadn't shown himself, Kikyou would have most likely have drawn to the wrong conclusion--that InuYasha had done this deliberately, rather than except that her plan had been bad--and would have shot him with that very same arrow of sealing arrow anyway.
Instead, after Naraku's deception has played-out, and Kikyou has sealed InuYasha, knowing that she has just sealed him, she then just decides to let her injuries run their course and 'follow him into the afterlife', even though she infactedly knows that she has just sealed him away... I think that she just really didn't want to have to face taking her responsibilities back-up again. It was all escapism, pure and simple. If she had just let her sister attend to her wounds, and then learned the truth about Naraku, she then could have just unsealed InuYasha and apologised... But even after she's brought back as a golem, tries to kill him several times, even trying to drag him down to hell with her, and THEN learns the truth, she still won't apologise, not to InuYasha, to Kagome, not even to her own little sister, Kaede, for the rough treatment of her when she was first brought back... Instead it seems to be all about her and her revenge. She talks to InuYasha as though he is her property and how he owes her his life, (and when he points out that the reverse is also true, she calls him a fool holding a knife to his throat).
I know that in the Anime, (or, at least, the english dub), Kikyou declared that, when she first layed eyes upon InuYasha, she renounced her powers as a Miko/Shrine Maiden/Priestess, and that she, Tsubaki and the swarm of youkai all assume that it was Kikyou desire to be with InuYasha, but I do not believe this to be true. As I said before, Kikyou always coverted what she saw as the problem-free life of an 'ordinary woman', and this is how I think events played out: Kikyou is unhappy with the life of a Miko and so starts to train her little sister to replace her when she's older, although that outcome is years away. Sometime afterwards, the Youkai Taijiya from Sango's and Kohaku's village arrive with the Shikon-no-Tama (Sango's and Kohaku's grandfather, their leader, having died to slay the Youkai who'd had it) hoping that Kikyou will agree to protect the jewel from evil (although in the Anime, they'd taken it to a temple, who's Shinto priest appoints Kikyou as it's guardian over Tsubaki).
Although agreeing to accept the role as it's protecter will place more responsibilities on her, (and she should have just confessed that she's not up to the task), she succumbs to the idea she has that, if she could just purify the jewel from existance, she might/could then be able to use it as justification to discharging her responsibilities and duties ahead of her original schedule, and leaps at the chance. This, however, fails, as, if even Midoriko, the most powerful Miko known to have lived, had failed to purify Magatsuhi, then what chance did Kikyou have to do so. Even after the initial failure, she still could have just taken it to another Miko, Shinto Priest, Buddhist Monk or Buddhist Nun, and just admitted what she had tried and failed to do... but she doesn't. And while Kikyou was able to cleanse the jewel of all negative taint from outward sources, Magatsuhi, from within the jewel, while not able to do much due to Kikyou's attempts to completely purify the jewel to banish it from the world, he was able to latch onto Kikyou's desire for freedom from her duties and uses it to start sealing her powers away, little bit by little bit, and at first the loss in her powers was not even noticeable; but by the time Kikyou and InuYasha are becoming close and Tsubaki comes onto the scene, it's finally become noticeable to Kikyou, Tsubaki, and even to the swarms of low-level, bottomfeeder Youkai laying in wait and who all later fuse together with Onigumo to become Naraku, who all think that it's because of her supposedly growing feeling for InuYasha. (Here, I should also point out, that Kagome's feelings for InuYasha, however, did not make her weaker, but rather they made her stronger).
When InuYasha first comes onto the scene, he's unable to get past her; but after some time, they start talking, Kikyou talks about her position in life and how much she wants out of it, and InuYasha starts to reconsider his plans for becoming a full Youkai, (helps to protect her and the jewel in the Anime, which she permits just so long as her village doesn't find out about it), and later even gets talked into becoming fully human instead by Kikyou. Now during this, at some unknown point, Kikyou had taken in the wounded/crippled bandit Onigumo, sheltering him in a small cave in secret to all but Kaede, and during which time, she continues to harbor him from the law even after learning he is a wanted man, and after all of the disturbing things he keeps saying to her and to Kaede. On the morning of her plan to for InuYasha to use his wish to become human in the hopes of purifying the jewel, she leaves her hut with a especially prepared arrow of sealing, and on her way to her pre-arranged meeting with InuYasha, she's ambushed and wounded by Naraku-as-InuYasha... and she falls for it hook, line and sinker. After using her sealing arrow on InuYasha, Kikyou refuses any medical aid, not wanting to continue guarding the jewel, and has it burned with her body, which fouls-up Naraku's plans.
After she's brought back as a golem, and after she learns the truth behind events 50-years ago, she plans to purify Naraku and the whole jewel together, completely missing the fact that if that plan could have worked, then she would have succeeded 50-years ago. Throughout the plot, she plans and plots for her chance to outright purify the jewel, which in the end comes to nothing. Pride goeth before a fall. Even after her second death, the destruction of her clay body, the last reminant of her power, her will and her soul remains as the one remaining point of light within the mostly restored jewel and the ramaining shard in Kohaku's neck, in the end she's still trying to execute the same tactic. Only at the end does the last speck of her finally accepts that she cannot win, and so uses the last of her power to allow Kohaku to live past his jewel shard being stolen by Naraku (likely by purifying the pallbarers from the underworld like she did in an much earlier chapter when Naraku first approached her after she was brought back as a golem).
I'm also not convinced that Kagome is truely Kikyou's re-incarnation. If you think about it, you notice certain things/details... After Kikyou was first brought back as a golem and Kagome drew back most of her soul/haku, Kaede thought/observed to herself that Kagome was no "mere re-incarnation", as she was able to overpower Kikyou even whilest vulnerable. It would also depend on how you define re-incarnation. I think that the jewel, while able to prevent Kikyou's soul from completely crossing over, it just wasn't able to make her soul re-incarnate, and so latched onto a soul bound to the world of the living to be born, onto Kagome's soul, and 'hitched a ride' back to the realm of the living. At her birth, it sensed just how powerful Kagome was, and while it was able seal away the shear bulk of her powers, Kagome was still left enough to later fire even basic sacred arrows. And the spiritual power still available to her was enough to keep the jewel from doing much else, (but you'll notice in the story that it's metioned that whenever her Ji-chan spoke about the jewel from the family shrine's lore, she never remembers hearing about it--and he just thinks that she's ignoring him on purpose--but I believe that this was the jewel at work, something that it could still do, not only trying to make her weaker that she should be, but ignorant to it's true nature: But I also believe that this ultimately backfired against the jewel, as she never develops any attachment to it or desire to use it herself, not once, not even to gain InuYasha's heart, understanding that something like that must be freely given or else it's not real. It might also explain why, on a couple of occasions Kagome said something to InuYasha and didn't remember later (Kou Mask & puryfing Kikyou if Naraku's Miasma), mild damage to her memory--what will InuYasha make of that?). It is also worth pointing out that Kagome never experienced flashbacks of Kikyou's memories, which is usually what's seen done in stories revolving around re-incarnation. As for why Kagom was able to break Kikyou's seal on InuYasha and walk through her barriers like they weren't even there, was due to synergy of their spiritual powers, the result of years carrying a part of Kikyou's soul within her, (just like those two young Miko from the Anime-only episode with Tsubaki) and was then lost when Kikyou took in gathered leftover reminants of Midoroko's soul to bolster her own powers further.
Do you also remember what Miroku had said about Kon and Haku (back when the Infant's 'older half' assembled a body guardian for him ( en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%AD%… & en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%AD%… )), and how they are the (main?) components of a soul? I think that, when Kagome regained most of her soul from Kikyou, what it actually was was just Haku, and not Kon, and was able to do so because of the bulk of Haku sealed away within her at birth by the jewel (her soul her own again since birth). What Kikyou is left with is just the portion of her Kon that was prevented from crossing over, and a much too small amount of Haku to animate her golem body and use her spiritual powers, and so enlisted a swarm of dead soul insects to steal the souls women who have just died, and to keep stealing souls, all in order to keep her clay body animated, and to support the continued use of her powers. If Kikyou were to have suceedded in dragging down to hell, would she have also dragged all of those womens' souls down with her, condemning them all, too? If she and Kagome truely were different incarnations of the same soul, would Kagome have been dragged down to hell too? It looks like Kikyou would have created a grand transtemporal & metaphysical disaster all simply to appease her own sense of/desire for her vengence. If Kikyou had managed to kill Kagome before InuYasha arrived and he witnessed her doing it but was too late to stop her, what right would he have to avenge Kikyou if he could not bring himself to avenge Kagome, and would he have been able to face Kagome's family about his failure to protect her when that's what he promised to do (even before Kikyou was brought back as a golem)? And if Kikyou had managed to kill Kagome before InuYasha could have arrived even to witness it, Kikyou would have most likeky pinned the blame on Naraku; but then Naraku finds out what Kikyou had done, he would most certainly have used it against both Kikyou and InuYasha, (and again, what right would he have to avenge Kikyou if he could not bring himself to avenge Kagome, and would he have been able to face Kagome's family about his failure to protect her when that's what he promised to do (even before Kikyou was brought back as a golem))?
Well, that was a lot. As you can tell, I've given this a lot of thought...

Also: Did you also see how, when Kohaku was travelling with Kikyou, and he says how he's willing to die to help with her plan against Naraku, she suddenly got that haunted look on her face? Clearly it hit a little *too* close to 'home'...

And I stated to the artist on here that with love there is sacrifice, Kagome sacrificed her life in modern times and left her family and abandoned her opportunity to go to college and have a career when she finished high school to live with Inuyasha in the Feudal era and Inuyasha gave up trying to be full demon or human. With Kikyo, she never sacrificed anything for Inuyasha and told him to become human for her and set her free from being a priestess, Kikyo had nothing to lose but to gain from Inuyasha.
Yep,
