Power struggles can also be a theme. The OC may have a power that others in the Inuyasha world either fear or want to use for their own gain. Kagome then becomes a key figure in helping the OC deal with these power - related issues. Additionally, friendship is often explored. The OC and Kagome form a strong bond of friendship that may or may not develop into something more romantic over time.
A common theme is adventure. Since Kagome is from the Inuyasha world which is full of demons and magic, the OC often gets involved in these adventures. Another theme is romance. Writers like to pair Kagome with their OCs and explore the relationship dynamics.
One major theme is the integration of the OC into the existing Inuyasha universe. This can involve the OC learning about the different cultures, powers, and rules in that world. Also, self - discovery is a theme. The OC might start out not knowing much about themselves but through their experiences with Kagome and the others, they grow and learn. For example, in some fanfictions, the OC discovers they have a special power related to the Shikon Jewel and Kagome helps them understand and control it.
