Chapter Two: One More Night Then It's Over

He was home now and he was tired. The house smelled of vanilla and it was pleasant to him. He entered his room just as Kagome left the shower in nothing but a towel. Her damp hair was clinging to her back and it attracted him all the more. He approached her and wrapped his arms around her from behind, causing her to stiffen slightly. He kissed her neck and she looked back at him.

"I didn't know you were home." She looked away, not allowing him to see the sad look upon her face.

"I've missed you, Kagome," he looked at her and soon kissed her as he pinned her to the bed. He truly did miss her and would have no one but her tonight.

-----------------------------

She had let him have her this one last time. She climbed out of bed when he was still asleep and left for work. She had a few more preparations to do before she left today. She would not see him again if she could help it. She wouldn't sit around and be played anymore. So she showered and got dressed and left for work. He would wake up soon as it was and she wasn't going to be here for when he was awake.

She got to work and finished packing up what was left of her personal property, placing the picture of her and her husband face down in the box. She wasn't going to look at it anymore if she could help it. At this time her boss walked in.

"Everything is set up for you for when you get there. The last of your things will be sent over as you requested."

"Thank you. I hope you understand why I'm doing this." He nodded and watched as she left with the small box and her briefcase.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

She returned home and finished packing her suitcase. She loaded it into the back of her car, which her brother would get when she left. She had placed the manila envelope on the bed side table. She knew he would be home soon so sat on the edge of the bed, legs crossed. And he walked in. He walked into the closet and noticed the lack of her clothes. He came out and looked at her.

"Kagome? What's this about? Where is your clothes?"

"I'm leaving, Sesshomaru," she said as she stood.

"When will you be back?" He looked at her back.

"When I'm ready to take all the cheating, or when you can prove that you are faithful to the one that is your wife." And she left, just as simple as she came into his life, she was gone.

--------------------------------------------------------------

She arrived at the airport and quickly boarded her plane, showing her passport and her ticket. She took her first class seat and slept through the long flight.

-----------------------------------------------

He looked to his bed side table and found the manila envelope. He opened it to see that they were divorce papers. She had said he could keep everything but her clothes and the car she had bought. That she wanted none of his money or other possessions. She didn't want anything to do with him anymore and it was because she found out he was cheating on her. This wasn't worth it. The woman he loved left him because he couldn't stop cheating on her.

"No." He shook his head. His wife left him and wanted a divorce because he couldn't remain faithful to her. He wanted to see her so he went to her work, only to find out she was transferred somewhere else and no one was telling him where.

"You screwed up," her boss told him. "She was always loyal to you, no matter who it was that had hit on her. She was always just yours. You messed up big time. You broke her so she decided to leave you so she wouldn't be played like you have been doing. I request that you leave now." And he turned and left Sesshomaru alone in Kagome's old office.

He returned home after that and held his head in his hands. His wife left him and he had no choice but to sign the papers. He'd never see her again. She left him because he had messed up. He wondered how long she knew and what she was thinking. He knew he was neglecting her. That is what probably drove her to leave him. He would have to find some way to get her back, that is if he ever found her again. The world was big after all.

--------------------------------------

She landed and looked around before grabbing her bags. She walked out to see someone holding a sign with her name on it. She approached the man and he seemed to smile.

"You must be Kagome. I'm Miroku. I was told to pick you up and take you to the place you'll be staying in." He grabbed her bags. "Most of your stuff is already there as it is and everything has been set up as boss said." He smiled at her and noticed the sad look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." She climbed into the passengers seat. "We should go. The flight drained me." He nodded and drove off. He would glance at her every once and a while. His boss had told him she requested a transfer. Word was she was going through a divorce after finding out her husband was cheating on her. He felt sorry for her. He didn't know what that was like but he could tell she was in a lot of pain from it.

"You must have really loved him," he stated as they pulled up to an apartment building. "He must have messed up really bad to lose a pretty girl like you."

"Sometimes I think I was the one that messed up and somehow drove him away." She sighed as she got out. He popped the trunk and they grabbed the bags.

"You shouldn't say that," Miroku reasoned. "From what I heard you're a sweet girl that is always willing to help and was completely faithful to him."

"Maybe it just wasn't enough," she whispered.

Author's Corner:

As you can tell, Kagome isn't a masochist and has taken action. More is to come in the next chapter, but there is no telling if this story will end on a happy or sad note. I am sorry about the last chapter being underlined. I tried fixing that several times but nothing worked. I am hoping this chapter isn't underlined as well. But hopefully you enjoyed this chapter. Thanks to everyone that has read and reviewed. Please continue reading and giving me helpful feed back.
