Chapter 11 Move Along
A Week Later
Kagome secretly kept tabs on Inuyasha through her brother Naraku. He informed her that Inuyasha was going back to work in a day or two.
Kagome thanked him and turned to her child that was playing on the floor with his cousins. Kagome saw her sister-in-law waddling down the hall towards the living room.
"Midoriko, let me get that for you!" Kagome said and got the basket of clothes from her sister in law.
"Thank you Kagome I thought the couch was closer than it was. I'm so ready to drop this kid. But enough about me how are you? I haven't seen Inuyasha in some time now," Midoriko said and started folding her children's clothes.
"I guess he's fine. He's trying to fight the separation I demanded to have by refusing to sign the papers," Kagome said and began helping with the laundry to keep her hands busy.
"Oh so what mother said was true. You're finally getting rid of your baggage. You're not doing that because of her right. I'm not trying to pry. It's just...sigh...I know I'm not the one to talk. But I've been where you're are right now. The stage where you're doubting your love and you hate him. I mean like shoot him in the head hate. But it does get better. Have you two talked like really talked and listen to each other in a civil matter?" Midoriko asked gently.
"Not civilly. Not shouted at each other since last week at Momma's. I just can't face him and then I'm confused because I...please don't tell a soul," Kagome confided in her.
"If I had a soul to talk to it's only me and Dyson my vacuum cleaner. He gets me," Midoriko said and laughed.
Kagome laughed with her and shook her head.
"Well you can Dyson but I almost slept with another man. It didn't transpire into anything but it almost did. I think I was glad it didn't happen then a part wished it did happen," Kagome said and sighed and continued folding clothes.
"Believe me you should thank your lucky stars that you didn't sleep with the other guy," Midoriko said and rolled up a pair of socks.
"Sounds like confession time sis," Kagome said and turned to make sure their children were not in the room.
"I've stepped out on Naraku before many years ago and became pregnant soon after with our third child. I was on pins and needles the entire time. I did tell the other guy about the possibility and he wanted to step up and take full responsibility. He even wanted me to divorce Naraku and let him adopted the other two then later on marry him. If I didn't love Naraku and was sick to my stomach with regret I think I would have taken him up on his offer," Midoriko said.
"Okay...no judging but why didn't you. I mean was he unable to provide or something? What made you pick Naraku over the other guy?" Kagome asked.
"Well first off he's been married four times already. Secondly he was willing to cheat with a married woman while he was still married. What would make him be faithful to me and only me . Thankfully it was one time and one moment of weakness. I'm also glad that I talked with Naraku about my insecurities about our marriage. I even told him about the cheating. We yelled and fussed but we eventually sat down and talked. It was hard. He asked some tough questions and day by day we have to gain each other's trust back. I know I can be a worry wart and seem nagging. I just want what's best for Naraku and sometimes I feel he's okay with being complacent even though I know he's much better than what he gives himself credit for. I want him to see his potential that I've always seen since I said yes to him for a cup of coffee," Midoriko said and wiped a tear.
"Midoriko," Kagome said and hugged her.
"Oh Kagome, it's the hormones. I'm fine really. I'm glad he's helping you guys with your dilemma. I just want to put my two cents in and say don't give up. Nobody said a relationship no matter what it's classified as is easy. Some days it's like a breeze other days you want to call it quits. Just, just think about what that man does for you. I mean everything even the naughty parts. I know the other guy will say or do the things you wish your husband did. Just ask yourself is that worth a new piece of ass? Also having to start over with the awkward get to know yous. For me Naraku thought I was worth the fight and I'm glad we were able to get back on track. Well I'll start dinner. I invited Inuyasha and Naraku over for dinner. We're having something cheesy," Midoriko said and slowly got off the couch.
Kagome sat and thought about what Midoriko said to her. She got up from the couch to find her son.
Inuyasha
"Hey Inuyasha. You're sure you don't want to come eat with me, my wife, and kids?" Naraku asked.
Inuyasha was lazing around on the couch. He grew a stubble beard and his hair was unneat. He had a remote control to the t.v. in his hand mindlessly channel surfing.
"I'm fine. I'll order out. Tell Midoriko I said hi," Inuyasha said and scratched his stomach.
"Whatever," Naraku said and went to his nephew's room to get a night light that was plugged up.
Naraku walked back to the living room about to leave. Inuyasha saw what Naraku placed in his pocket and he quickly sat up.
"Hey Naraku is, is Kagome and Emori going to be there?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah so" Naraku said and knew it was going to work.
"Let me put my clothes on. Just give me a few minutes," Inuyasha said and hurriedly got dressed.
With Kagome
Kagome looked at her cell phone and saw a text from Sango that was a couple hours old. She quickly dialed her friend keeping her voice steady and calm.
"Hey Sango it's me. How are you feeling?" Kagome asked finding a quiet spot in the active household of her brother's.
"Oh Kagome! I'm doing fine! Where are you? How are you?"Sango exclaimed and rubbed her stomach trying to get comfortable.
"I'm at Naraku's. Please don't tell anyone. I'm doing...I'm getting separated from Inuyasha. But enough about me," Kagome said trying to steer the conversation away from her.
"Wait what? Girlfriend we definitely need to have a POW wow. What the heck made you want to do that?"Sango asked.
"He cheated on me...twice. I feel so stupid now. Momma and Daddy told me to be with someone else but he had a hold on my heart and he just wouldn't let go. I'm trying to hate that...Jerk but," Kagome sobbed in her hand.
"I know honey I know. You know that I know. Remember my mistake of He who must never be named," Sango said and rolled her eyes.
"Oh Miroku? Yeah that jack ass ruined our relationship in essence but it was Inuyasha's fault for falling for it and listening," Kagome said and rubbed the tears from her eyes.
"Hey and you remember what Kikyo told me?" Sango asked and giggled some.
"You did not follow my sister's advice! Sango really?" Kagome said and shook her head.
"Yes I did and we have been happily married and got a baby on the way to boot. It's Miroku's lost just as it's going to be Inuyasha's loss. New dick gets the old dick off your mind. Never rang truer!" Sango laughed and Kagome laughed with her.
"Wisdom from my older sister," Kagome said and continued to wipe her eyes.
"So, have you?" Sango asked.
"Have I what?" Kagome asked.
"Really Kagome we aren't in junior high anymore. Do I have to spell it out for you?" Sango asked on the phone.
"Honestly Sango I'm oblivious to the question dear," Kagome said tongue in cheek.
"You slick little cow. Who did you sleep with? Do I know him? Please don't ruin my sex dream and it be someone lame," Sango said.
"I don't think you met this person but it was Bankotsu. I slept with Bankotsu well-Inuyasha how long have you been there?" Kagome jumped a bit and stared at her beyond angry husband who was behind her.
"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome! Hello are you there? Who's there with you? Did you just say Inuyasha?" Sango's voice rang in the silent and tense room.
"Please repeat what you just got done saying and I mean it. What do you mean you slept with that fucking bastard?! You hypocritical bitch," Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Excuse me? Hypro-hypocritical my ass! You're the one who started all this drama in our lives! Why are you even here?" Kagome demanded to know.
"To see my faithful wife but now the cats out the bag. I'm going home," Inuyasha said and Kagome started laughing.
Inuyasha turned around and looked at her perplexed.
"What are you laughing at?" Inuyasha asked and crossed his arms over his chest.
"You. I'm laughing at you! You talk this big game about how you love me and will fight for us until a chance to really prove yourself you leave. Tail between your legs and book it. I need to send flowers to Miroku," Kagome said and sat on the couch
"Why?" Inuyasha asked trying to calm his anger.
"Because he showed me who you truly are. I'm surprised we lasted this long. I'm just done. For your information I almost slept with the good doctor but tonight we are going to go all the way. Good night Inuyasha I'll have my lawyer call your lawyer," Kagome said and tried to leave but Inuyasha stopped her.
"Kagome are-are you fucking serious! Up until a month ago I have been nothing but faithful to you! I make a mistake and you make that the last thirteen years was a lie! Yes I cheated because-because oh fuck you wouldn't believe me even if I told you," Inuyasha said calming down.
"Just leave. You can't even be open and tell me, your wife, what's going on! What's wrong? Why did you cheat?" Kagome pleaded wanting to know.
"I hate my life! I hate everything that in it. Sometimes I think you hate me because I hate myself. I just dealt with it. But then I got attention and-" Inuyasha said trying to come clean.
"Just stop. I-I can't be here," Kagome said and walked out the quiet back room and went to the living room and grabbed her child.
"Hey Kagome is everything alright? I heard shouting," Midoriko said and held Kagome's hand.
"I-I got to go. I can't be here right now," Kagome said trying to keep it together.
Midoriko reached in her apron pocket to bring out her car keys. She held onto her hands and looked directly in Kagome's eyes.
"Take some time to cool down and I'll see you this weekend okay. I think you may have a chance to repair your marriage and fix it for good. Because if he didn't care he wouldn't be upset like he is nor you," Midoriko said and hugged her sister in law the best she could.
Kagome shook her head and kissed her cheek.
Naraku was coming from the bathroom when he saw his sister leaving the house.
"Did I miss something?" Naraku asked after he dried them and wrapped his arms around his wife.
"You just missed a life changing decision. I'm not sure how's she going to choose but she has too," Midoriko said and leaned into her husband.
Inuyasha looked at his wife take Midoriko's keys and left again with his son. She didn't hesitate to leave him again. It was like she made her decision and he wasn't apart of it.
"Hey guys I think I'm going back home. I lost my appetite and I just want to be alone," Inuyasha said solemnly and began walking out the door as well.
Naraku clasp his shoulder making Inuyasha look at him.
"Don't do anything stupid. Like burn the house down, drink yourself to death, hang yourself, drown yourself, get in a fatal drunk driver accident, cut yourself, shoot yourself, jump from a very tall building or bridge, poison yourself ,get in a fight that you know you will lose at, get hit by a train and so forth. Because I will raise you up from the grave and kill you with my bare hands because you know Kagome is going to blame herself and try to do something even more stupid because you're dead. Oh and don't get a prostitute and catch a disease. I think I named the logical ways a person can die. Oh no drugs nasty business. But do call me when you get home. I'll check on you later," Naraku said seriously.
"You seriously need to stop watching that how to die show and those crime shows too,"Inuyasha said and began walking to his Uber.
"What do you think? Will they make it?" Midoriko asked and held onto Naraku's hand.
"I'm not honestly sure. I just hope that they figure out that they still love each other but you can always love someone and have love for them. Anyway babe, let's eat before the food gets cold," Naraku said and kissed Midoriko on the forehead and walked inside their house.
He locked the door and said a quick prayer for his sister and her small family.
