It was 10:30 in the morning as they sat in a small conference room waiting for the honorable Judge Kenji Sakamita. The judge had said that he wanted to review some of the documents both sides had given him in his private office. It was the 27th of day of April. Almost the end of the a very event filled couple of months, and things where really moving fast now! It was amazing to Sesshomaru just how fast things where going! Late last month, Miroku served her with divorce papers. Then Jaken had all her things packed, and moved out of his house. Then that Sunday, while attending Sango and Miroku's party, and was blissfully reunited with the love of his life, InuYasha. On the first day of April, Miroku started these proceedings, to free him and his child of his beast ... I mean wife. And now, he was engaged to her and preparing to marry her as soon as this distasteful affair was over. Looking across the large highly polished cherry wood table, he gazed coolly at the enraged face of his soon to be ex-wife. He studied her in amusement, enjoying every second of her discord, 'Hn, she looks pissed! What is it dad always says about me? Oh yeah! If looks could kill, I'd be a dead duck!' He chuckle to himself quietly. Miroku, who was busy organizing his papers, heard the slight sound and looked to him in askance. Sess just shook his head and waved him off. He smirked, as he pretended to flick an imaginary piece of lint from his fine tailor made suit jacket. He sat back and thinking as he waited for the judge to make his appearance. While he waited, he thought back to just a few days ago. The day she came to see him in his office...
Flashback: last week...
Sess was in his office reading strategies and plans that marketing sent him for approval, when...
Buzzzzzz ... Buzzzzz ...
Picking up the phone he sighed, "Yes, what is it, Yura?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Takeuchi, sir. I know you said not to disturb you, but-" Yura said nervously.
"*Sigh* If you knew that, then why are you doing it?" He asked, irritated by the interruption. "What is so important, that you just had to bother me?"
Yura gulped as she looked up at the cruelly sneering woman before her. "Well, sir, your wife is here. And, she's demanding an audience with you. I told her you where busy but..." Yura frowned slightly, then sneaked a glance at Kagura. "Yes, sir, she does... " After another minute Yura sighed in relief then thanked Sesshomaru. Turning back to Kagura, she smiled and told her to go inside. Just before she went in, Kagura eyed the woman, "Just what did Sesshomaru ask you, Yura?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am"
"Yes, you are sorry, but that's beside the point. What did my husband ask you? You looked at me before you answered," huffed Kagura. Raising her brow she said again. "What did my husband ask you?"
"Well, ma'am," stated the young woman. "He asked if you looked like a- a... 'wind dragged witch!' A- and, I ... um?" The poor woman cowered in her chair, as Kagura looked about ready to explode! She walked past the desk and into Sesshomaru's office, slamming the door as she entered.
She stood at Sess' desk for a good 10 minutes, before he acknowledged her. By this time she had moved from annoyed to angry, now she was just plain LIVID! 'How dare he keep ME waiting!' After another minute, Sess finally looked up at her. Giving her a fake smile he said, "Well hello, dear, and to what do I owe the honor of you enlightening visit?"
Returning his smile, Kagura replied though gritted teeth. "Hello darling. I was just in the neighborhood, after a most informative meeting with my attorney. He just told me something very interesting!" Cocking her head to the side she asked, "Would you like to know what that was?" Sess raised one prefect brow in mock ignorance. He knew full well why she was here and what her lawyer had told her. He was just going to sit there and enjoy her little act of rage. "What makes you think that I would even agree to that absurd little idea of yours? Why the hell would I give up MY parental rights to OUR child? What kind of fool do you take me for, Sesshomaru?" When he started to tell her, she looked at him. "Don't even go there with me!" He sat back smirking at her. "You think I'm going to make it easy for you Sesshomaru? I what your planning. Don't think I don't... You think to ex me completely out of the picture so you and that little bitch of yours, can play happy family? Well, think again, you bastard!"
Sess, was enjoying Kagura's little rants. That is until she insulted Yasha, and that he would take from no one. "First off, Kagura, don't you ever, EVER call InuYasha that or anything else, for that matter! Unlike you, SHE happens to be a lady. A real one. And, second. Don't come in here all on your high horse. Acting the mother of the year role. No one that knows you would believe that. I have too many witnesses as to your treatment of Rin, to make it VERY easy to get what I'm after. You're hardly a candidate for mother of the decade."
Kagura smiled. Walking behind the his chair, she placed her hands on his shoulders, and began to message them. "You know Sesshomaru. I might be willing to come to a deal? If you make it worth my while I might be willing to ... sacrifice my motherhood for the sake of our little Rin's future."
"What did you have in mind?" He asked barely tolerating her touch. 'God! I'm going to need a hot shower to wash off her vile touch.'
"Oh, I don't know? How's about another say 1 maybe 2 million? To start! We could work from there." She said with a haughty laugh.
Sess smiled and removed her hands from his now, soiled shoulders. He stood and turned to face the snake he once called his wife. 'Ha! Know the true nature of the beast appears. 'God this foul bitch is just sad.' He thought to himself as her stared at her. At one time she was very beautiful to him. She reminded him once of the image of true love. But since Yasha had come back in to his life, he now wondered what the hell he saw in her? 'Thank god I found you again, Yasha! Just being near you again, makes the long wait worth while!' "Have you no shame Kagura?" He stared at her with sadness in his eyes. "Do you hate me and Rin so much that the only she can be happy is if I buy her from her own mother? I didn't want to believe it, I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. But, Rin was right, wasn't she? You DO hate her and me, don't you?"
Kagura smiled coldly at him, "No dear, not you." Then with a voice dripping with venom. "Just her! She ruined everything! She wasn't supposed to be a girl! I WANTED A SON!! All my plans for bright future, gone with that single brat's birth! A son would have really secured my place in the Takeuchi family! Made me the reigning Queen of the social scene! Given me the respect I should have had! That I was owed. I was you're wife, Sesshomaru. But, I was always treated like an outsider. A son would have given me status! He would have been the new little prince! The new heir apparent to the throne of this empire! What good is a girl?" She said sadly, "Ha? Her only power will be as long as her face lasts!" She said quietly...
End of Flashback...
That day, for the first time Sesshomaru actual felt sorry for her. They all stood up when the door opened and the Judge walked in. He sat down and waited for the clerk and court recorder were ready. When they gave him a nod he started to read the terms of the final divorce decree. "Well, I have before me an action for dissolve of marriage. I do not feel the need to go over all the terms, I'm fairly certain that all here are aware of the major points. Mrs. Takeuchi you are to give up any and all rights to the Takeuchi name and it's vast holdings, past, present and future. Thus retaining the use of you maiden name of Mori. You are to be given the sum of $300,000 cash. To be deposited into your personal account by the end of the day. You are also to retain the use of the condo, in which you are currently residing. Thus is what is stated in the original writ of divorce, which is provided to both parties. But, I have been given an amendment to this action."
Both lawyers looked up at the judge in shock. Miroku stood up and demanded to know what kind of trickery was afoot here? Both lawyers pointing an accusing finger at the other. While the judge ordered them to be quiet and be seated. Kagura look up in wonder, 'What the hell is going on?' She looked over at Sess who only sat in silence.
When calm was finally restored, the judge continued. "Ahem. As I was saying. My clerk gave me a copy of an amendment. It arrived yesterday afternoon. This is what had taken me so long. I was reading it." Turning to Sess. "Young Mr. Takeuchi, are you quite sure this is what you want to do?" When Sess nodded, the Judge continued. "The following will be handled accordingly. Mrs.- um excuse me. Ms. Mori will agree to sign over all her parental rights, to one Rin Takeuchi, to her father." Miroku stared at Kagura then Sess. "In return, Ms. Mori will be awarded a one time only deposit of $2.5 million dollars into her account, forthwith. As all parties agree I will sign this writ, hereby ending the marriage in question as of today." Opening his pen, the man signs his name and stamps the paper. "This matter is now closed. Good day and good luck to you all." And with that he gave the document to his clerk, who will have the papers copied and filed. So that they will be recorded properly.
When he left, Miro looked at Sess. "You know you could have told me about this before hand! Why did you do it?" He was about to answer when Kagura walked up to them.
"Well, I guess that's it?" Sess just stared at her. "I ... Thanks Sess. I'll sign the forms for Rin today and give them to my lawyer." Sess nodded, and she left.
When Miro asked Sess were walking out of the court to their cars. Miro asked him again why he gave her the money. Sess smiled and told him, "Yasha told me to. She and I are going to have a real family which will include Rin and all of our own children. Yasha made me see that, Kagura may have the money. But, we will have a treasure worth far more than any dollar amount could buy! I'll see you at the wedding Saturday. See ya" With that he got in his car and started for home. He grabbed his cell and pushed the speed dial. It only rang once, before the sweetest voice gave a breathless, "Hello, dearest! How did it go?"
He smiled and said, "3 down, 0 to go, my rose hime"
