Bishonen'sFoxyMiko: Sorry for the Long wait guys. My dad's laptop just quit on us and now he had banned me from using it ever again. And although I've still got my Desktop, I can't receive wireless on it. But thanks to a neighbor of mine, I'm able to use his computer to check my emails and update what I can. For the title of this chapter, I was sort of inspired by Celine Dion's song "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)", despite that the song is mainly about saying goodbye to your mother. Hope You Guys Enjoyed XD.

Akuma Chibi: So, how about that chapter two...hehe, so we might have taken a while, but hey, it's been updated! Yeah, let's give a round of applause!

Goodbye's the Saddest Word

-x-x-x-

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret
Never to be told.

The sound of etching from a pen soon stopped before a feminine hand set said pen down on the desk. Amaya was quiet and solemn as the lawyer in front of her took the papers she had just etched her name on. The papers she just signed being divorce papers to finalize her and Hisao's separation.

It had been only a year and a half after she had left the Truesdale estate and her daughter, Kagome now being a little more than three years old...and her son, Zane was turning five very soon and keeping his promise to watch over his father and live watching his little brother grow.

During that span of time, she still came around the Truesdale estate to allow her little girl to not only see her big brother Zane but to also allow her to see her baby brother, Syrus. It seemed that after she had returned to her shrine that Hisao's mistress had moved in after Syrus was born and flaunted like she was the lady of the house, wearing the expensive gold and silver jewelry she had left behind and the designer clothes that once belonged to her, fitting the cocky woman a couple sizes too big on her.

Hisao's mistress was, although cute in looks, a half a foot shorter than Amaya and looked to have, due to her, most likely, breastfeeding, maybe a B cup and her waist looking very slim; so slim that she was surprised that she was able to carry little Syrus during the whole nine months of pregnancy.

'But she most likely had a c-section after her water broke...' Amaya though almost bitterly, remembering how the smaller woman had tried to goad her and gloat about how she had snatched her husband away from her. Oh, how she had wished to slap that irritatingly smug look off her face and give the gold-digger a good piece of her mind, but, Amaya didn't want Zane and Kagome to witness her anger...however, that never stopped Amaya from calmly saying things that seemed to press the right buttons, making the younger and shorter woman angry, with her so-called pride and ego hurt and brought down a couple of notches.

When the woman made a declaration of sorts, being certain that Hisao would divorce Amaya and marry her, Amaya just gave a bitter but very amused laugh, saying that Hisao won't divorce her but she would divorce him since Amaya couldn't seem to see their marriage work again, especially when the mistress was also living under the same roof. As for Hisao marrying the mistress who gave birth to his second son...well, Amaya said in truth- knowing her ex-husband very well when it came to his morality- that he would never marry the woman who had a hand in ruining his first and only marriage and the only reason he ever allowed her to live under his roof was because she was the mother of his youngest child.

Although, from what Amaya had seen, the woman never really paid much attention to Syrus and always handed him to a handmaid while she did her own thing; whether she was relaxing by the pool, lazing around the mansion, talking on the phone, or just left the house to spend Hisao's money on clothes, jewelry, or any other meaningless thing she thought to spend money on.

The woman was only after her husband for the money...and had no care for little Syrus. And even though Amaya was going through with the divorce, a part of her still cared about Hisao and she had nothing against Syrus but she hoped that Hisao would open his eyes and see that Syrus's mother was not taking her responsibility as a proper mother. Not to mention Amaya didn't trust the woman with Zane or Kagome when she had to leave for a short while to take care of a quick errand as she allowed her children to spend time together and with baby Syrus.

Every time Amaya came by with Kagome to visit Zane, the young boy would always look at the other woman coldly when she was in the same room. And after she was gone, would whisper or mutter how he hated the woman for not only separating his parents but for saying mean things about his mother and not caring about his baby brother.

Despite the fact that she didn't like the baby boy's mother, Amaya couldn't bring her self to hate the little one. It wasn't his fault for being born, just like it wasn't his fault for being born to such a greedy woman like his mother. So during her and Kagome's visits, she would always give some attention to little Syrus. Even though he wasn't her child, he was still Zane and Kagome's little brother; no matter what she told herself, that...was the truth.

Amaya gave a soft sigh, 'As much as I love him, I only hope… that Hisao will open his eyes soon to that woman's greed…' she thought to herself, then gave a glance to her husband sitting next to her, who was minutes away from becoming her ex, 'if not for his sake, then at least for his children's sake...'

Next to her, Hisao took hold of the divorce papers that were handed to him with a bit of hesitance before reading the fine print. When Amaya told him that there was no way for her to trust him again and not able to find a way to somehow make their marriage work again once more, he ultimately knew that she was going to suggest a divorce.

He never wanted to be separated from her, never wanted their marriage to be annulled...he knew deep down that he owed it to her to let her go and allow her to move on. From what he read in the terms of the divorce, Amaya didn't want any money from him; none of the possessions he had bought for her─the clothes, the jewelry, the foreign car he bought her for their third anniversary, nothing─not even alimony. All that she did want was the full custody of their daughter while allowing his to at least see her when he wanted and she'd be allowed to see their son, Zane while he was able to visit her and his grandparents.

Despite that, he read (and heard her verbally say) that she didn't want child support from him; Hisao was still going to pay for it so he would know that his little girl was supported and well taken care of, financially.

The documents showed that Amaya wanted this divorce to be as swift, painless, and easy as possible. Although, he never wanted to let the love of his life go, Hisao knew that he had screwed it up when he had slept with the mother of his newly born second son, and not only telling Amaya of his mistake, but for also allowing his mistress to live under the same roof as him.

After taking his sights from the documents in his hands, Hisao looked to Amaya, asking, "Are you certain that you want this, Amaya...? We can try making this work a little longer..."

Amaya shook her head before answering in a soft voice, "After all that's happened...even though I know this will tear Zane up, knowing that his parents are splitting up, and I have nothing against little Syrus...I can't live under the same roof as that woman and I refuse to have her anywhere near Kagome. Much as I still care about you, Hisao...I refuse to have my children anywhere near that woman; I simply don't trust her with any of them."

Her bangs covered her eyes, refusing to let Hisao see how much this is hurt her still, as she continued, "...no matter how much I've wanted to take Zane with me and gain full custody of both him and Kagome...a part of me can't take your eldest child away from you...I just can't do that to you. But I do ask to have full custody of Kagome and allow her to grow up with me, without much worry."

Understanding what she wanted to say...and her own way of saying that she still cared about him, Hisao nodded and reluctantly went to signing the documents to finalize their divorce. Even though he had lost the love of his life due to his mistake, he was still grateful that Amaya was allowing him to still have his son and visitation rights to his little girl.

Looking sorrowfully at Amaya, Hisao felt his heart clench at her words and from what he was about to do. The stokes of his pen were slow and deliberate, trying to stall the inevitable of his mistake as Hisao's thoughts went through his head with haste, showing memories of his time together with her, his daughter, his family...he started to etch his name on the documents, this was his entire fault, he thought, wishing hard that he could take it all back; to turn back time, to prevent what he had done.

'But it's too late...' Hisao thought as he came to the last page of the divorce papers, staring at the line he was to sign his John Hancock. 'Because I gave in to temptation and my liquor induced lust...I gained a greedy mistress who thinks I love her...and lost...' he slowly and painfully wrote his last signature, 'the trust...of the only woman I loved completely...and my only daughter...'

And with the last stroke of his full name, the divorce of Amaya and Hisao Truesdale was finalized.

(One Week Later)

-x-x-x-

Amaya smiled at her little girl, lying outside on her stomach as her three year old crawled over to her and made a cute growl noise. She couldn't help laugh as Kagome tried to tackle her, crawling onto her back before lying out on top of her. "Kagome dear, are you a lion?"

"Rwar~!"

She growled lazily as her grandmother and a young man that Amaya had been seeing for a little more than seven months before he proposed came out. He moved to their side and picked Kagome up with a light chuckle as the girl raised her hands in a playful and childlike manner. "Hey there kiddo, hogging you mom, aren't you."

Kagome smiled, "Momma~!" She reached out with her arms held wide and smiled wider as her mom stood up and walked over to her and the man who held her.

"Come now, Fumio, you know she knows to share...besides, you get me all to yourself when mom takes her off on her walks."

"Which is presumably why she followed me out here," Fumio said with a smile as the elder woman took the little girl he'd grown close to over his limited time knowing her. "To steal her away."

Amaya smiled and laughed at him, leaning into his open arms. She had met him while sweeping the steps one morning, and he'd made a comment on how, 'surely there were more than one person available to help sweep those steps,' and how, 'it seems like a big job for just one person, perhaps help would be...appreciated?' Amaya had only been able to smile as he's ran across the street to a young couple to request a broom to borrow before he had run back over to her and half way up the stairs to where she'd stood before helping her clean. It was actually quite charming, both his company and his personality were welcomed. It was two days after that he'd come back under the excuse of paying his respects to the spirits of the Goshinboku, which she'd laughed at. Her memories of that day...

~Flashback~

Amaya sighed as she looked at the man in front of her. His hair was slightly shaggy and unkempt, or so the wind made it look. She watched him bow and pass her to the tree behind the shrine where her little girl of two and nine months sat playing with the rope surrounding it.

"How cute," He said, walking over to the girl and sitting by her side. She looked over curiously at him and smiled, shaking the rope as she looked at him. He smiled back and held his hand out to her, which after a moment, she took. "I'm Fumio, what's your name?"

"..." She seemed to be thinking, glancing to her mother who nodded for her to answer; she looked back and said in a cute voice, "Kegome!"

Amaya laughed, "Her name is Kagome, she still has trouble with a's and e's, but she's getting there. So, Fumio, you don't really expect me to believe you came all the way up here to pay your respects to that old tree, do you?"

"Ah, but history deserves respect, my dear Amaya, as do those who protect that history." He gestured to her. Standing, he walked over to her and took her hand in his, "I hope you know that."

Amaya blushed, "Well, I do now, thank you." She carefully pulled her hand from his.

He took that as his cue to leave with farewell. Bowing to the small Kagome, who turned and bowed back while on her knees, her forehead pressing against the grass.

As fate would have it, not even a week later, he was there on their steps once more. She was going to the shop for some essentials and he 'decided' to tag along and help her. She complained, though, only a little. She truly felt no ill will towards him, she was only nervous to be getting into any relationships, and then there was the fact that she was, technically, still married by law. As such, she kept herself at a certain...distance...so not to raise questions of their...'relation'.

Then, before she knew it, time had passed, and he'd asked her to coffee one evening, and then, dinner, and then...

Soon, it wasn't long before they were holding hands and walking together to the park with Kagome. Within eight weeks, Kagome had met with her lawyer about divorce papers, and she was...content...with the fact that soon she would be freed of the ties she had to Hisao. She loved him, yes, and that would probably never change, but he had destroyed all faith and trust that she had once had in him. She couldn't stay with a man like that, no matter how much she loved him...

No, she had stopped wearing her wedding band, and now, she could only wait. He had gone off on a silly business trip, and it was hard to catch him at home, when that 'woman' his mistress, wasn't there. She had met her once since the day she'd left, and she knew that within just a few weeks the baby would be born, so she planned to stay away for the time being until she'd settled after the baby's birth.

She came by after two months, bringing Kagome with her, Fumio waited outside in the car for them. Kagome was immediately enveloped in a tight hug by her brother. Zane then followed up with hugging his mother. The sound of heels clacking on the marble flooring drew her attention as the woman, a vivacious vision, with light, fair blonde hair and grey blue eyes, she was a beauty, rare and regal looking, but the cold scowl on her face at the sight of Amaya set the look apart from any true royal. "You, what are you doing here? Haven't you been divorced yet? Weren't you already dumped onto the streets?"

In truth, Amaya never liked to judge people or call them names, she honestly discouraged it, but that didn't keep her thoughts from tailing boarder line psychotic at the thought of this...hot mess...watching over her little Zane who, now stood holding her hand and Kagome's, glaring coldly at the woman who, Amaya noticed, was wearing her Prada black heels and Milano blue skirt with...her silk white and black kimono, off-shoulder top.

And even though the clothes were a little lose, she still flaunted herself in them as if she owned the place, trying hard no doubt too make herself look like the 'lady' of the house.

"I came to see Hisao,"

"Not here, now leave,"

"I don't have to, I'm permitted to stay her, more so than any street hussy; now...where has he gone off to?"

"Hong Kong, a meeting...may take a few weeks, since he also has a project there."

"What?"

"What? I am his secretary, why so surprised? I scheduled it."

Amaya glared, and had kissed her son farewell before leaving the vile woman in the house to boss around the servants, and, no doubt ignoring both children and leave the maids and butlers to care for their well-being.

Kagome ended up holding off the signing, through 'good moral' and instead, she brought Kagome over to see her brother and father every so often, and a few time, Fumio joined her inside. Hisao hadn't liked him at first, but after a while, Amaya guessed he realized that he and her would never get back together. Zane was confused as to who he was, but he liked him. He would play with both him and his sister a lot when they came over. They had seen each other for seven months when he proposed, and Amaya knew, she needed couldn't hold off the signature any longer.

~End Flashback~

It was the week after her engagement to Fumio that she went to Hisao's, taking Kagome with her to get the signature needed for their divorce to be finalized. She was happy that it was over with, and now she could move on with her life. They had planned a date for the wedding, it would be in nine months, giving them plenty of time to prepare and get ready for the special day.

Amaya shook her head to rid her self of that sudden onslaught of thoughts as she noticed Kagome was no longer with her. Her mother had gone back inside to get her stuff and left Kagome with her for a moment, and Fumio said he would be back in a moment too...so...where was her daughter!

Amaya started circling the shrine to the back of the tree where she was relieved to find Kagome playing...with...a boy. One with tri colored hair that looked to be around the same age as Kagome. 'Who...'
