I disagree- I think it was Kikyo's indirect Japanese way of taking their relationship to the next level; a marriage proposal of sorts. With her as a priestess and him as a half demon their relationship would have remained stagnant. Society wouldn't allow it- at best they'd accept of Inuyasha as Kikyo's servant- an inequal. Kik clearly wanted one where they were on the same footing where neither of them would be beholden to the responsibilities and social roles their powers designate them.

Now that I think about it, her asking him yo become human is similar to Lelouch asking C.C.'s hand for marriage indirectly because he is a massive autismo. She doesn't have autism, but she missed out on the benefits 5 centuries of women's right privileges give to a woman's mind as well.
