level 1
With InuYasha: The relationships between these two varies at some times. In one word, InuYasha feels a deep regret and guilty feeling when he is confronted with Kikyou; this is because Kikyou died to be with him, but he at some times forgets about this and feels at ease even though Kikyou's fate is horridly twisted because of him. On the hand, Kikyou cannot forget about Inuyasha. Afterall, she is bound to him forever because of what happened fifty years ago. She shows up when InuYasha seems to be introuble, and even though her instincts are not always clear, she in the end doesn't want anyone to harm InuYasha. She believes that his death is left in her hands, no one else's. It may seem like she's saving his life, and she is... for herself. Greedy, it sounds, but it can be seen as an eye for and eye. She died to be with him, and as soon as they exact their revenge on Naraku, she feels the need that he should be satisfied and come to RIP with her for eternity. With Kagome: I don't really think that Kikyou is envious of Kagome's position with InuYasha. She, I think, has accepted it that they are friends... but in the end, Kikyou doesn't really worry herself over what happens to Kagome. Yet there have been times where Kikyou has shown a shred of concern for her reincarnation. Kagome, however, could never live with herself if she stood by and let Kikyou meet her demise. It's a no-win ordeal, really. With Kaede: With Kaede being the younger sibling to Kikyou, she has always looked up to her elder sister as a strong person and a role model. Kaede has and probably always will love her sister. On the other hand, Kikyou has always worked hard to gain her sister's respect, though she felt betrayal when Kaede sided with InuYasha. Kikyou usually comes to her sister when she needs information, and keeps her distance from her past, and Kaede wants her sister to rest peacefully. They still care for one another, but are not as close as they had been. Kaede states that the revived Kikyou is not like her sister once was. With Naraku/Onigumo: Let me start with Onigumo. As Kikyou tended to his paralyzed body, Onigumo learned of her possession of the jewel. It is because of this bastard's desire to have Kikyou and the jewel that led to Kikyou's fate. Once Kikyou finds out, she consummately hates Naraku. Though, it is she who finds out about his half demon entity and how he still harbors a soft spot for her. During some points, she uses this to her advantage and Naraku finds out and stops the problem. Just because Kikyou has alternate and probably far more intelligent strategies of ridding the world of Naraku than InuYasha's group does, this does not mean she is allianced with him. With Sesshoumaru: These two have little to no encounters. The two may have a shred of respect for one another, but there is no friendship between them. I highly doubt these two would ever be lovers, though no offense to those shrines who support them, but it's just my perspective. With the others: The other members of InuYasha's group (sango, miroku, and shippou) do not exactly try to get involved with the love triangle. They do, however, tend to bend toward Kagome's side since she is alive. Kikyou only sees them as his companions--his friends. They are a small matter to one another.
