Inuyasha and Kagome
Kagome thought she was happy. She thought that Inuyasha finally realized their love for each other. She thought he was finally hers, but one word and one person was all it took to destroy the happiness and love that she finally thought was hers.
"I'm sorry, Kagome, but I want a divorce. I love Kikyo. I'm sorry," Inuyasha whispered, the look of guilt was on his expression. Kagome always disliked pity. She didn't need it. Not from him. Not from anyone.
"After all we've been through. After all I thought we are finally happy, and you destroyed it because of her. Why did you give me false love from the start, Inuyasha? Why? I know Kikyo was your first love, but you... I can't believe you!" Kagome yelled, crying. She threw the manilla envelope that held the divorce papers at him. "I never wanted anything except you, but I guess I could never get even that."
She walked towards the door but stopped as she opened the exit. If she walked out of that house, she was never coming back. Inuyasha had knew that.
"Don't worry, I'll sign the papers," she told him one final time before she stepped out of the door. She left her home, now house, that belonged to them.
Inuyasha just stood there, wishing it wasn't so hard as it was now.
It was two years after they signed the divorce papers. Inuyasha kept the house. The pictures that used to have Kagome and Inuyasha were gone. It was all stripped away except for one. The one picture he could not ever get rid of. It was the picture of their first date. They were arguing with each other, and Miroku, Inuyasha's friend, took the picture just as they finally made up after an intense debate.
Inuyasha chuckled at the memory, but a sad smile replaced it immediately. This house used to be so lively. Now, it was so quiet. Too quiet. Even after he finally had Kikyo again, life didn't seem to spark like it used to with Kagome. She was always making him argue with her, but it was mostly playful banters that showed how much they loved each other.
With Kikyo, there was silence. He never felt aggravated. He never had to feel like he was hurting her. Kikyo was perfect. Too perfect. She was nice and kind. She loves him. She cares for him. Not saying, Kagome didn't, but it was different. It was just quiet. He missed the playful banters. He missed how once the argument ends, they would always make up and kiss each other as if their life depended on it. No, all he had was quiet.
It took another year before he met Kagome again. His heart sped up from staring at his beautiful ex-wife. She was smiling her beautiful smile. Of course, the smile wasn't towards him but the beautiful flowers in her hands. His heart sank at the thought of her finding another man. Well, he had no right to be jealous, anyhow. He was the one that ended it. It wasn't like she belonged to him anymore. She wasn't his wife anymore.
Kagome still didn't notice Inuyasha's presence. He wanted her to look at him. He wanted to see her beautiful brown orbs that could stare right into his soul. But no, fate had ruined his chance when Kagome answered a call from her cellphone. She could hear her giggle and spoke some words. But what hurts the most was hearing those three words she used to tell him and now she was telling another.
"I love you too, darling," Kagome said with all the love showing on her face. She used to call him "darling". It was always so cute when she said that to him. He was a bit embarrassed when she told him at work, but he missed it so much now. Pet names weren't Kikyo's thing. I was only Kagome.
Kagome continued to walk on. She never noticed him. Not once. Not at all.
So why is Inuyasha here with a broken heart when he finally found the one he always wanted? So why is here as if his life had ended before him? So why is Inuyasha here to see that she's finally moved on? She's gone, and he doesn't know what to do anymore. Because this time, he finally realized an old love wasn't worth losing true love. And now, he lost true love. And he wonders, who has Kagome's heart now?
