Worth It

by ladyhikikomori

Kagome is the perfect mate-to-be to Sesshomaru until she discovers a dirty little secret that destroys the relationship. Sesshomaru believes all it will take is a few apologetic words to have the compassionate Kagome forgive his indiscretion and have everything the way he envisions it but an unexpected rival will make someone consider if it was worth it!

1. Chapter 1 - The Discovery

Kagome sat at the dining room table and stared at the garment that she had found a half hour ago while she was changing the bed sheets. It was red and lacy with a fan decal and tassels on the sides but most importantly it wasn't hers. As soon as she found the thong underneath the bed sheets she had come to the conclusion that her mate-to-be had been having an affair in their bed and with that thought she became nauseous and proceeded to have a scalding hot shower to rid herself of the disgusting feeling she had knowing another woman had made love to her mate-to-be in their bed. Despite her attempts to scour off all her skin with her loofah she still felt dirty. Used tissues littered the area surrounding her, a testament to how much she had cried upon her discovery. An anger that she had never known filled her, she had been nothing short of the ideal mate-to-be; she had kept their home spotless, attended all of his work functions, was loving and faithful to him constantly – hell, most woman would have thrown a fit by now if their significant other worked half as late as he did. Oh kami, her stomach churned, was this why he "worked late" so often? Granted her mate-to-be had always been a workaholic but he was always home for supper, for the past 6 months though she only saw him as he was leaving for work or when her presence was required for a social function or family dinners. Her eyes misted over thinking that right now he was probably screwing his harlot. Well no more, Kagome was kind and forgiving but even this was too much for her to ever forgive. With that thought she started to clean up, thinking of what she wanted to pack and where she could stay until she got back on her own two feet.
