Silence the Present? by Rei

Prologue

 

 “Kagome stop! You and I have things to discuss!”

  “I think we talked enough about a year ago!:

  As they make their way into the hallway leading to the dining room filled with guests they lower their voices. Before she has time to turn the corner Sesshomaru grabs her arm and drags her to a random room locking the door. Kagome tries to reach behind him to open the door but he blocks her. Realizing that she can’t delay this confrontation any longer, she gives in.

  “What do you want? Last time I checked we got divorced. I moved on with my life and so did you. So there really isn’t anything to talk about. Now I have guest waiting, if you don’t mind.”

  Again she tries to reach for the door but, once again, he blocks her.

  “I’m quite aware that you moved on with your life” He looks down to her swollen stomach. “I am also aware that the divorce was never finalized. Indicating that you are still legally my wife.”

  Her eyes narrow. “I think you’re mistaken because the divorce was settled when you became a widower. Therefore you have no wife.”

  “Yes but it’s become void seeing as how my beloved wife turns out to be alive after an entire year.”

  I can’t believe what he’s saying. He was the one who wanted to get a divorce in the first place? Why is he making such a big deal about this? Is it because that I’m alive that the divorce doesn’t count? Is that all? He wants me to sign the divorce papers.

  “If you want me to sign the final documents then fine I’ll do it. We do it discreetly as to not rise any sort of suspicion and simply end this.”

  He scowls and approaches her. Backing her to the wall, as she feels the wall on her back she wraps her arms around her stomach. Making him stop just a few feet away from her.

  “I’m afraid you misunderstood me. I do not intend to reinstate our divorce.”

  She looks at him, eyes wide. Fear overtaking her as her hands begin to shake.

 

  “What do you mean?” She’s barely able let out a whisper. But he was able to hear her loud and clear. “You and I will not be getting a divorce. No matter what has happened this past year you are still my wife.”

  “No.”

  “You, under every legal matter, are still known as Kagome Tashio.”

  “Please don’t do this!” Tears were beginning to well up in her eyes.

  “So I suggest you start getting the idea of marrying him out of your head. In the end it won’t matter.”

  He walks away from her towards the door. Her following behind him, beginning for him to stop his actions. “Please Sesshomaru.” He doesn’t look at her. “Please stop.” He opens the door. “Sesshomaru!” And he walks out the door shutting behind him. “Please Sesshomaru you can’t do this to me please!”

  Kagome leans against the door and lets all the frustration out as she cries.

  On the other side leaning against the door, is a pain stricken demon. His eyes shut and hand clenched into fists. His claws digging into his skin drawing blood, but the pain of his skin tearing isn’t as painful as to what he felt when he saw her again.


  In love with another man and engaged, even more painful than that, she’s carrying his child. How did it end up like this? Where did everything go wrong?
