        <![CDATA[ I am not sure if this rings true for everyone else but in all of Takahashi's stories I end up really sympathizing and liking the characters that come between the main couple.

			<description><![CDATA[ Why not Kikyou?
<br>
<br>
Well to be fair my question was more character based not plot based. I usually hate love triangles because the third wheel is so unlikeable and always up to no
good. While I don&#39;t think Kikyou is evil and I find her to be an interesting character, I thought she brought too much angst in relation to the
Kagome/Inuyasha/Kikyou love triangle. It was actually one of the things I liked least about Inuyasha. Although as the story moved on it ended up bothering me... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Besides Kikyo, I never really saw a big threat to their relationship. Sure Koga and the Hojos are persistant, but Kagome remains faithful to her hanyou love.
<br>
Miroku&#39;s wandering hand strains his relationship with Sango, so there&#39;s lots of &#39;third wheels&#39; there, though he doesn&#39;t seem terribly
serious about any of them. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ How comes nobody mentioned Kikyo? Well I&#39;m not saying she&#39;s my favorite one, but she&#39;s a more valid third wheel than Koga, given that she does have
influence on Inuyasha and Kagome&#39;s relationship. Unlike with Koga, it&#39;s more light-hearted and one sided. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yes I did remember the Miroku scene. But the difference I saw in the Kouga scene was Inuyasha actually seemed hurt by the whole thing. He didn't really get that angry over the Miroku situation either, he was just a little defensive. But I agree that we start to see Inuyasha's romantic feelings well before the Kouga arc. I just think that was the first really strong indication of it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Kouga was never an obstacle to Kagome and InuYasha's relationship. Even early on, when they got in an actual fight over him, it forwarded their relationship in the end. Kouga's appearance helped them start to realize their feelings for each other, if anything.<br><br>Past that, it was either harmless, or helpful. Kouga's actions brought to light legitimate issues in their relationship and helped move it along more than once post his appearance. <br><br>Later on it seems pretty clear to me... ]]></description>

Ryouga, well I like he much, and yes, he does deserve a girlfriend and got one, who is a perfect match for him! Kuno, on the other hand, doesn't really deserve much, and at the beginning, he was ok, but later on, well it got old, but it still sometimes made me laugh, so can't say much there. ]]></description>
