I always think about Inuyasha’s process of healing & how far he has come from initially being at sea with his lingering grief & sorrow & guilt from Kikyo’s demise, convinced he was undeserving of a smidge of hope nor to be in the great hands of Kagome’s heart as he needs to repay Kikyo with his life— even though he has started to find peace through Kagome’s presence. Like, “Kagome was born so I could meet her and I was born for her” was insane. He is responding to Kagome’s resolve in 176 and acknowledging when she said even though she is Kikyo’s reincarnation she is her own person & owns her heart.

Inuyasha has always known he had to settle his own pain first so he could finally face his love for Kagome… from “I am not supposed to be happy and have fun” to Kagome taught me to live around it & learn I can be loved & I can love in so many ways and forms by & with the people I hold dear and Kagome held his hand through it all…

Rumi was right, the wound (Inuyasha’s pain) is the place where the Light (Kagome) enters you.
