I'm Out of His Life by kago-girl

Divorce

She placed her arms around him while he was sleeping even he was asleep, it counts. It counts. She didn't know what happened. She didn't know. The only thing that she knows is that she made a mistake: a mistake that she can't made-up for; a mistake that would ruin their marriage together. But even in his sleep, he would fling her arms away from him. As though, he knows that it's her. He would fling her arms as though he was awake. Tears fell down her face. Nothing could make this work out anymore. Nothing.

She might as well just sleep on the couch than to be unwanted by her husband. She turned on the lamp that's beside the bed and made her way to the couch that is in their room and lied down. She lied down with tears falling down her face. She faced him and thought that she was hopeless because as soon as Sesshoumaru made up his mind, nothing's going to change it. He decided to get a divorce after the incident.

Actually, Sesshoumaru is awake when Kagome placed her arms around him and when she got off the bed and lied down the couch. His person was full of hatred towards her, for what she'd done. He loves her dearly.....no...he loved her. When he found her, he thought that he found the perfect woman that he could spend his life with but he was wrong. He was terribly wrong. He doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't. He doesn't feel sorry for her for deciding to get a divorce. No. Not one bit of sympathy, and Kagome...Iie....Higurashi agreed to the divorce.

Flashback

One day he came home from his work, he found Kagome laying there with Miroku, his enemy in everything.

"I want a divorce," he grounded out. He knew that he acted on his instincts and that he didn't listen to her part but the mistake has been done or is it a mistake for Kagome that is.

"Sesshoumaru, I'm sorry," Kagome cried, "it was just a mistake."

He knew right then and there that there wasn't anyone perfect for him. He made that mistake once and he's not going to do it again.

Miroku stood up and said, "She's just a whore after all, Sesshoumaru." Then he left.

"What have I done?" Kagome whispered to herself, but Sesshoumaru heard her.

"I want a divorce, Kagome."

"What about the kids Sesshoumaru?" Kagome said, crying now. And whispered to herself, "and how about me? I still love you......I love you."

"I am more than capable of taking care of them, Higurashi-san; do not compare me to yourself because I vary from your kind."

"Sesshoumaru...," Kagome cut in. Kagome sobbed on the floor.

"Do not call me that for we are merely strangers to each other." Sesshoumaru said harshly.

"I am your wife," Kagome said, barely audible.

"After the divorce...no...you aren't," Sesshoumaru replied, "how I longed for that day." He knew that he's a bit harsh to her but she...he hates to say it but...she had hurt him. And hurt him, badly.

She knew that he's right. So she agreed to it.

"If that's what you wish," Kagome said weakly, "I'll agree to it."

Sesshoumaru was a bit angered that she agreed to it and a bit taken aback from her weak boys but he said to himself, "I would not be tricked."

End of Flashback

His heart ache, but he wouldn't show it to everybody, especially her. He knew that his enemy, Miroku, seduced her or close to that because he knows in his heart that Kagome wouldn't do that. She wouldn't do that. He knows her, yet he let her. He let her be miserable. He lets her suffer because of his big ego, his pride.

The divorce will be final tomorrow. That's what made him flung her arms away from him. So that she'd know that he really doesn't care about her anymore. He doesn't want her running after him when the divorce is final.

The next day, he didn't see her on the couch that she lied on. Did she sleep at all, last night? He wondered. No did he find her clothes in their closet. He didn't find anything of her belongings in their room. Even just a single strand of her hair, he found nothing. He quickly made his way through the hallways, searching for her. Finally, he found her sleeping on the couch in the living room with all of her belongings beside her sleeping form. Then her eyes began to open and saw him there, standing.

"Good morning, Taisho-sama," she said, acting as if the day's normal.

His heart ache and his hands formed into fists.

They both know that the divorce and final but doesn't the kids get a say in it too? Shippo came into the living room and say lots of baggage packed onto a mountain.

"Mom?" Shippo called and asked, "Are we going on a trip?"

"I'm going on a trip with my friends, Shippo so be a good boy and be good to your sister and daddy, k?" Kagome said. Might as well say goodbye while I'm at it, thought Kagome.

Kagome looked sadly at Sesshoumaru and said, "Take care of them, I'll visit." Kagome rightfully handed the children to Sesshoumaru because she knows that she doesn't have enough to support them. As sadly as it may be without them, Kagome insisted that he handle the children.

"Then ja," Kagome said, "I'm off. Shippo take care of Rin for me, k?"

"Can I come with you, mommy?" Shippo said hopefully.

"I hate to day this but Shippo you can't," Kagome said, "but could you give me a hug before I go, ne?"

Kagome went in Rin's room and gave her a kiss on her forehead. She was thankful that she was still asleep 'because if not, then she wouldn't be able to go without crying. Even now, there are tears that are brimming in her eyes.

She was about to walk out the door and leave the house, but Shippo stopped her, "Aren't you going to give a kiss goodbye to daddy, mommy?"

Kuso! Kagome thought. Sesshoumaru walked to her and gave her a passionate kiss that was meant to convince her not to leave, that was meant to tell her how much he loves her, but Kagome gently stopped him, and whispered, "Don't."

Sesshoumaru embraced her, not wanting for her to leave and whispered to her, "Kagome."

"You are making this even harder for me, Taisho-sama, so please let go of me."

"Don't refer to me as that...." Sesshoumaru was cut off by the phone ringing. And they nearly forgot about Shippo being there, watching them with wide eyes.

"I'll go get it," Sesshoumaru said, dreading for what was about to come. They both know that that was Sesshoumaru's lawyer, Jakken, to notify them that the divorce was finished and successful.

"The divorce is final, my lord," Jakken's voice came out of the phone to Sesshoumaru's ears. He hung up.

"I guess I'll leave now," Kagome said, "I'll miss my plane."

Sesshoumaru's perked at that. He didn't know that she was leaving the country altogether after the divorce. He didn't really want her to leave but....

Just like that, Kagome is out of his life. Out of his life.
