... then why did we have to meet? --- Kagome, in tears
I thought Inuyasha and Kagome's romance had lost the power to reach me.
I guess not. Must be of a piece with everything else that's happened.
Maybe it's the feeling of being second-best. Maybe it's the feeling of never being enough. Maybe it's the knowing that no matter how much you might love someone, that you will never be first in their heart because that place is already taken...
Their story is simple, sweet, maybe even childish. But occasionally, I still find it wrenching.
