What a beautiful scene between Kikyou and the Monk. I liked what he said about the living and the dead not being able to coexist at the same time. While Kagome is very concerned about recovering the souls of the girls, InuYasha cares little. I'm trying to understand why he was acting this way. Was he afraid that something might happen to Kagome too? Later, when they find the monk and he reveals that Kikyou is alive and is an evil youkai, InuYasha is completely devastated. Something quite dramatic is likely to happen between them in the next chapters.
