Who do you think Kagome should pick?

[FaeQueen]

My friend and I were discussing InuYasha the other day and were wondering which guy that's after Kagome, should she pick.

No bashers, just for fun!

[Yukito Kunisaki]

Well, seeing I am not a girl, I can't say I see anything in them, but i see that they all have something to offer.

Inuyasha is rude, but deep down, over time, he knows he is growing feelings for her. He is just too shy to say anything and feels loving her will ruin his image :p

Kouga is nice, but if he can trust having Kagome with some other guy (Inuyasha Of Course) and doesn't keep an eye on her alot more than he should, then IDK about him...

Hojo I think is my pick. He is always there, he is in her time period. If Kagome got with Either the other two, LIVING in the past may alter the future. Bringing Kouga to the future is not possible, but even if so, him and Inuyasha would cause troubles, no doubt. Hojo seems to tend to Kagome whenever he knows she is sick, he helps her with school, but it is her fault for not being there with him if people say "Well, he is never in the show so much".

I think Hojo is perfect for her.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Houjou may be politer, and he may always be there for Kagome when she is in the modern era, but I don't see him as the ideal significant other for Kagome. I see a relationship between the two of them falling between the cracks. Inuyasha is far from perfect, but then again, no one is perfect. Inuyasha is there for Kagome when she needs him the most. Truthfully, I can't see Houjou rescuing Kagome from mortal peril. He'd fumble, somehow.

Kouga is out of the question. He may profess his love for Kagome, and he may do whatever he can to keep her safe when he's around her, but he is even brasher and bolder (and dumber) than Inuyasha. Besides, his initial reason for declaring his love for her was because she could see the jewel shards. His reasons for loving her may have changed since then, but still.

[LostCause]

^I somewhat disagree.
1. ideal significant other. no such thing. As you said yourself noone is perfect/ideal.
2.Most probably Kagome wouldn't be in 'mortal peril' if she stays in her own time.
3.You never know who is capable of what, until such time arrives.
4.Kouga's initial reason, for kidnapping Kagome, was the fact that she can see jewel shards. He declared his love for her after witnessing her loyalty to her comrades, when she put herself in danger in order to help Shippo escape wolf's den.
But I do agree that this pairing (K/K) won't work, for multiple reasons.
Houjou is the sensible choice. But we all know how sensible Kagome is, no?

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Kouga's initial reason for kidnapping Kagome was that she could see the jewel shards, but I also think that's part of the reason he began to admire her. He says himself that the reasons he loves Kagome are, "She's able to see the Shikon no Tama, and she has guts, and she's a fine woman too." (That's a direct quote from the manga.) I don't think his affection for her had much to do with her loyalty toward her friends.

When I say "ideal significant other," I wasn't referring to a perfect person. I think of an ideal significant other as someone to whom one is best suited and who best suits one. Inuyasha and Kagome suit each other. In particular, Kagome is just the kind of person Inuyasha needs in his life.

Of course Kagome wouldn't be in moral peril if she stayed in her own time. But if she stayed in her own time, there'd be no chase after Naraku and the jewel shards (and who knows what effect that'd have on the modern era?), and therefore there'd be no series. But that's not the point. Houjou strikes me as the kind of person who'd be too busy to save someone else's life in the feudal era; he'd be struggling to save his own.

[LostCause]

I got the impression that Kouga admired Kagome's loyalty from anime, so I suppose that could be the difference between manga and anime, seeing as it was a dub too.
I don't think InuYasha is suitable for her, seeing as he is halfdemon and from another era, that is bound to create some problems. They work ok together and there is mutual attraction, but I just can't imagine how it is supposed to work long term.
It is obvious what Kagome's choice is, however.......it takes two to tango. And Inu is undecided, to say the least.

[FaeQueen]

I can actually see the K/K pair going much better than the K/I or even the K/H pair. InuYasha is still too hung up on Kikyo and way to immature for Kagome. Hojo is too wimpy for someone like Kagome. I think she would want a man that could protect her and etc.

I got the impression that Kouga loved Kagome because of her loyalty, also. I think if he thought InuYasha was an actually threat to him winning over Kagome than he would be around more often.

[_jwb388_]

HOJO!!

Not everyone has superhuman powers. I can see him jumping in the way to save Kagome and he lives in her era. If you've seen escaflowne then you would know she and Inuyasha can't be together.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

By that logic, Kouga wouldn't suit Kagome very well, either, since he's a full-blooded youkai, as well as from a different era. And to tell the truth, in this case, I'm not sure if race or time period matter all that much to Kagome or Inuyasha. Has Kagome yet to seem bothered by the fact that she has fallen in love with a hanyou?

But who is better suited to Kagome is merely a matter of one's opinion. However nice and dedicated he may be to her, I personally think Houjou is too clumsy and stupid to be a good match for Kagome. A relationship between the two of them might work out in theory, but I can't see Houjou making Kagome very happy, and what kind of relationship is it if both parties aren't enjoying it?

Correct, those are the reasons i can't support K/K pairing, no matter how much i like the guy.
Has Kagome been bothered by the fact that she has feelings for a hanyou? Hell, yeah. episode 140 of anime. (she overcame her doubts eventually)
She choses to ignore many things and follows her heart, i can respect that.
My logic says: Houjoo is the right choice, even if it means 'settling'.
My heart says: screw logic.
And since its not up to us, lets wait and see.........

[FaeQueen]

I think Kagome would always compare Hojo to InuYasha, Kouga, etc.


However what's been kind of bothering me is that Kagome has never tried finding out what happened to friends in the future. I mean, sure it would be a little depressing, but wouldn't anyone be curious to find out? I wonder if Kouga, InuYasha, Sesshomaru, or Shippo were in the future or their descendants. Lol, sorry for getting a little off topic.

Since there have been only two reports of youkai in the modern era, and Kagome apparently spent the first 15 years of her life thinking youkai were a myth, one can assume that, by the modern era, youkai have, for the most part, been eliminated. Though, it'd be interesting to find out whether Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Kouga, or Shippou lived to see the modernization of Japan.

[Tidusauron12]

The easiest to adjust to would be Hojo. He's in her time period. Inuyasha in the future would mean he would have to leave Kikyo (not likely.) also... Kouga obviously isn't in Kagome's line of fire. Still doesn't it seem Kagome ignores Hojo for the most part? I mean she's mostly thinking about inuyasha usually. (Though there were some moments with Hojo.)

[Sora N]

I personally believe Kagome and Inu Yasha would be a fine couple…

[master terrence]

she's better off alone, SHE's way to young for them anyways -_-;

[Stafal-chan]

^_^ i think Kagome and InuYasha would be the best....because Koga...is just kinda ignorant about how Kagome feels....and Hojo...he's just kinda left behind cuz Kagome is always with InuYasha in the past ^_^

[Loopy]

Kouga is a murderous bastard and his integration as a "good guy" is ridiculous.

Inuyasha's an annoying prick.

Houjou's too dumb it seems.

So no one.

[Stafal-chan]

how is Koga a murderous bastard?...

[*koji]

I picked Hojo, mainly because I see InuYasha with Kikyo.

[LostCause]

how is Koga a murderous bastard?...
Well, remember his entrance? When he allowed his wolfes to feed on villagers?

And for people who said Kagome should be alone b/c she is too young;
you are probably right, but have you walked in the shoes of a 15year old girls? -_-;

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Not really. She and Houjou are the same age. The physical state of Inuyasha's body is that of a 15-year-old, and Kouga's is that of a 16-year-old (in other words, if they were human, they would be 15 and 16). Kagome's 15. None of them are too old for her.

he's hardly murderous anymore though....:p

:p i am a 15 year old girl :D hahaha ^_^

[master terrence]

She's human... inuyasha's not
She's human... Koga's not
She's far to ...(can't think of the word) for houja anyways, she spends all her time fighting the evil forces of naraku with a perverse monk, and hunter, and a mut in a different world that houja can't grasp.

you humans just don't understand :P

[LostCause]

@stafal chan
yeah, apparently they gave up eating humans for Kagome's sake.


not 15, but I remember ^_^

[Ninja337]

She is better off alone, she is too *****y and destined to be alone her whole life. Maybe if she learns how to fight for herself and stop relying on all her powerful friends she'd be worthy of the stated three.

[Kagura Hakubi]

She looks after herself as best she can. As someone said earlier about Hojou... "Not everyone is a super-powerful warrior". All the other combatant characters have at least ten years on her, training wise (except maybe Kohaku). Inuyasha's been fighting and surviving since he could walk. Sango was brought up as a warrior among warriors. Miroku grew up as a demon-fighting monk. Kagome... was brought up as a bureaucrat. Someone who could manage the day to day affairs of a shrine in the modern world. She didn't even take advantage of the available options for learning to fight. So you can't blame her for relying on her friends. Besides - isn't that what friends are for? Relying on, and being relied upon by?

I can see a future for Kagome and Houjo. There's no way Kagome could ever settle down to a normal 20th-century-life at this stage. She's grown too used to danger. Therefore, if she has to live in the present it stands to reason that she'll join a dangerous profession. Since she hates hurting things, the armed forces are out (even if japan aren't allowed to have an army as such). Since she'd want to be helping people, something like prospecting or mining isn't really an option - and besides, it's mostly done by machines, and it's a men's world that I don't think she'd thrive in.

That leaves the following options for her: The police. The emergency services. Since female officers in the japanese police are either desk workers or traffice police, that shies her away from it. However, I can easily see her becoming a Paramedic or Fireman. If she's a paramedic - well, you've seen Casualty and Holby City. Is it too much of a stretch for the Paramedic and the General Practitioner to end up in a long term relationship?

On the other hand - Inuyasha needs her, and she'd thrive in his world now. Or at least, she would if she could get her head around the idea of maternity, which I'm pretty sure hasn't crossed her mind! I think she could use Inuyasha, too - someone she can butt heads with without risking serious reprisals (like she would from Kouga), or a downtrodden, abused husband (which too-nice Houjo would eventually become). Inuyasha and Kagome balance each other out, smooth out the extremes of each other's personalities. Plus, they're about as blockheaded as each other. ^^

I must say she is a dcent archer though.. like a certain dead someone. She has potential.

I can see it happening, but that would be boring. Houja is so thick. It works but that doesn't mean it is best.

that seems like the better choice ... but deciding who she should be with is something... she's to young for.

BUT KOGA IS OUT.


So thats what I ave to say, she's to young for these decisions to work out.

[melda]

I think Kagome would always compare Hojo to InuYasha, Kouga, etc.

Lol, sorry for getting a little off topic.


actually you have a point thats a very likely situation. because if one of Inu Yasha's decentants were to hear about the adventures Kagome and Inu had and it were passed down from generation to generation that she bacame almost part of the family in some ways and also ...

what if the Demon half of the decentants is so little it's almost none existant!! :O except for a few fuitres of course :)

Sorry I'm also getting out of the point i belive Kagome should choose Inu Yasha. or one of his decendants Lol :P :)

[Japhyl]

I think she's better off alone.

[Naster]

we all know there is going to be some stupid plot twist and kagome will end up either:
1. returning to her world with no memory of all the events that have occured
2. dieing because she likes to attack the darkness with magic missiles.

[Animegrl/Parnaz]

I think Kagome will pick Inuyasha.
