[Kitaooji]

But Kikyo loves Inuyasha and he still loves her. Why should she give up on that? It means she still has a chance! She doesn't hate him anymore, she hates Naraku...

I haven't finished all of the manga either. There are so many chapters and it seems like some of them are just repeats with a some details changed...

I have heard however, that Kikyo has been killed once and for all. I'm not sure it's true, since the site that I go to gave up trying to translate chapters long ago XD
