The Heart Wants by Aliciabear

Chapter 1

“Look I don’t know why you are calling from my boyfriend’s phone or even who you are but you-“

“I’m his wife.”

Those two sentences kept playing over and over in her mind. Kagome had never gone through Inuyashas phone before but he had been gone an awful lot lately and she wanted to know why. So when she found that number she couldn’t help but to call it. As soon as she had put his phone down she wished she could take it back.

‘Why would you do this to me Inuyasha?’

She thought he was happy to be married to her. When did it go wrong? When did he find this other women?

She wasn’t paying any attention to where she was going when she had walked out of her house. She only knew she was on a mission and needed to find her cheating husband. But where did he go?

She was lost in thought when someone grabbed her arm.

“You know it’s dangerous to carry a gun around in public Kagome.”

Her eyes where wide when she turned to face Sesshomaru. How did he know what was in her pocket?

“Where do you think you’re going with that?”

She couldn’t speak. She didn’t know how to tell him what she was up to. She didn’t want him to stop her.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to tell him but she couldn’t find the words.

“Come with me.”

He let her arm slide from his grasp and ever so gently grabbed her hand. She didn’t resist when he started walking. She wasn’t sure where they were going till he opened a car door for her. She wanted to say no but something told her it would be wise to get in.

Her mind was on Inuyasha the whole drive. She didn’t notice they had made it to Sesshomarus house until he opened the car door.

He grabbed her hand when she got out and led her inside. She wasn’t sure where he was taking her and she didn’t care. Nothing was going to change her mind.

“Have a seat Kagome.”

When she sat down she realized they were in his study. From what Inuyasha told her he never let anyone but Rin inside. This was his space and he didn’t trust anyone to be in it. But now he was letting her in and she didn’t understand why. She was utterly and completely confused about everything.

“Here. You look like you need this.”

She looked at the glass he was handing her and shook her head. She wanted the alcohol but she knew she couldn’t.

“I can’t Sesshomaru but thank you.”

He raised an eyebrow. Her arms went around her belly as she curled into herself. She didn’t want to say why. She didn’t want to say anything. She just wanted to complete the mission she was on and get it over with.

“You need it Kagome. Take it.”

“I can’t! I don’t want to-“

She paused and swallowed her words.

“You don’t want to what?”

Tears welled up in her eyes and she let them fall.

“I don’t want to hurt my baby. I can’t drink because I’m pregnant.”

He was the first person she had told. Inuyasha wasn’t home after her doctor’s appointment. And that’s when she found his phone sitting on the counter in the kitchen. And when she found the number to his mistress.

“I just found out today. I haven’t told Inuyasha yet. He wasn’t home when I got there. He forgot his phone and I…”

Kagome began to sob as that women’s voice echoed in her mind.

“He has a mistress Sesshomaru. I found her number in his phone. How could he do this to me? I’m his wife! I thought he loved me! Now I’m pregnant! What am I supposed to do now?! I can’t keep it! He doesn’t want me so why would he want my child?!”

Sesshomaru sat next to her and pulled her into his arms. It was strange for him to show compassion to anyone but Rin. But she wasn’t going to take it for granted. Truth was she had feelings for him but she knew he was never going to have feelings for her. So she had to make due with Inuyasha.

“So when I found you, you were on your way to kill your husband?”

“I don’t know what I was doing! I don’t even know where he is.”

Sesshomaru wiped the tears from her face and pulled her to her feet.

“I might know where he is.”
