because most of kikyo's soul is still in kagome, the kikyo that exists now is made up of only the parts that hate inuyasha

is that why kagome loves inuyasha or no?

In the episode that Kikyou was resurrected in, Kikyou said something to effect of: "I died hating you and my soul cannot move from that spot." It's like her emotional evolution has completely frozen. What she felt when she died can't change.

Why do you think Inuyasha feels so guilty? It's because he had never trusted Kikyou in the first place. Let's take a look at what happened.

Kikyou and Inuyasha agree to purify the jewel with Inuyasha's wish for human mortality. She takes the jewel to the designated spot that they were to meet and Naraku attacks her pretending to be Inuyasha. This is the part that they don't really mention but, it somewhat speaks for itself:

Naraku puts the jewel back in the village for the REAL Inuyasha to steal.

Why would Inuyasha steal it if he'd already made a deal with Kikyou? Because he didn't trust her. He grew up his whole life (pretty much) without being able to rely on or trust anyone because they had forsaken him because of his heritage. How could he have been expected to trust anyone, much less a miko(priestess)?

THAT'S why she's so pissed. That's why he goes through the whole series asking himself "Why couldn't I just trust her?"

But also it's argueable that she's angry because she came SO CLOSE to having a normal life... and died just before achieving it. Her being a priestess relied plainly on the Shikon Jewel. If the jewel wasn't in existence, she could lead a normal life. The Japanese people were (and still are) very honor-based: If she could purify the jewel for an honor-worthy cause, she could live normally without shame. Naraku kinda screwed that up, but Inuyasha had his hand in her downfall as well. Instead of dying to protect the jewel (which would have been considered honorable since she would die doing her job), she sealed in anger borne from betrayal.

So, not only was she unable to obtain a normal life that she so yearned for... Not only did she find that her Love didn't trust her... She died shamefully without honor.

I'd be pissed off too. ^_^

Hope this has explained it all. (And I hope it's not too complicated. Email me and I'll break it down for you.) :P
