Let's do this! Random #fandomthoughtoftheday time... this time for #Inuyasha

I think Kaede suspected that Inuyasha was innocent. Even with Kikyō's blood on her hands, even with the declaration, still Kaede never could bring herself to believe it.

She knew Inuyasha, because he hung around her sister. He was rough, but he didn't unnecessarily hurt anyone (even when he burned down the village). And the same day that Kikyō died, Onigumo had disappeared.

She probably looked up at the tree, and noted that Inuyasha's hands were clean of blood, and even though she KNEW she could end things and end Inuyasha, she couldn't bring herself to.

Because somewhere inside, she didn't think he did it.

It's why she was so quick to help Kagome, to suggest that InuKag team up, to feed the grumpy hanyō.

And when Naraku revealed himself? Kaede probably smiled to herself, because her instinct was spot-on.
