x . . . . x

Chi-Chi always did know how to make an entrance.

Considering that the house Kagome and Goku currently lived in was the very same house that Chi-Chi had lived in as well, it came to no surprise that she had a house key. So she knocked and she knocked and finally she just threw the door open after unlocking it. She scowled, knowing that Goku probably was out training if he wasn't answering the door. She looked around curiously taking note that the house was cleaned and dusted and in surprisingly good condition. Frowning she realized it was most likely because of the girl Bulma had described to her.

Pursing her lips she peaked around and took note of the few girlish touches her and there that littered the house and peaked into some of the rooms. Everything was immaculate and she scowled. She treaded toward almost forbidden territory – the room that she and Goku once shared and pushed the door open lightly. There was clothing strewn here and there, Goku's and then clothing that was more feminine. The bedding was a mess and she choked on a sob knowing exactly why it was a mess.

Trembling she was about to close the door when the oddest sound reached her ears.

She turned toward the bathroom and watched horrified as the door slammed open and Goku stumbled out, steam rolling from the bathroom behind him, a girl wrapped around his body while he held her around his waist, water slicking their forms. They fed at one another, her mouth latched onto his, his hard muscles flexing as he adjusted the small woman in his grip. Chi-Chi watched on completely and utterly enamored and disgusted and entirely too stunned to do much of anything.

A feminine moan pulled her from her hazed thoughts and Goku's voice murmuring the name of a woman that was not hers, "Kagome. Kagome. Kagome."

Her heart pounded in her chest and tears filled her eyes quickly. In a trembling voice she called out, "S-Stop! Stay away from m-my husband!"

The other occupants in the room paused and tensed. Goku moved his lips from Kagome's neck and turned around, surprised to see Chi-Chi standing there with a hand to her lips. Goku frowned and covered Kagome's body with his while he quietly inquired in confusion, "Chi-Chi?"

"S-Stop!" she whispered again, not looking at him.

Kagome could feel tears in her own eyes beginning to make themselves known as she quickly pushed away from Goku and covered herself in a sheet from the bed while Goku did the same and quietly queried, "Chi-Chi what are you doing in here?"

Dark hues looked up at Goku and to the young woman that hovered at his side, "I – Bulma told me. Bulma told me you were with some girl but I didn't believe it. I had to see for myself and then Goten left yesterday and didn't come home and I knew he had come to see you and I just – I just…" she stopped and took a deep breath. "I see Bulma wasn't mistaken." Chi-Chi looked at the young woman and immediately saw the way the girl stiffened and she did not perceive the girl as much of a threat. Her shoulders were hunched and she looked timid and Chi-Chi couldn't believe that Goku was with such a girl. The girl looked up at her and she saw the most amazing cerulean hues staring at her in a face that seemed so much younger than she had anticipated and anger coursed through her quickly. "What are you thinking?" she snapped to Goku stomping forward.

Goku immediately knew the confrontation was not going to go well, "Now Chi-Chi -"

He didn't get very far seeing as Chi-Chi had soundly slapped him across the face and settled into her old routine of ranting and raving, "Honestly Goku! What is your problem? A girl? A child? Not even a woman? Are - "

Kagome looked up at Goku through a film of shock and looked toward the older woman with shoulder length hair and golden jewelry looking far more sophisticated then herself. Cerulean hues narrowed and the girl that Chi-Chi perceived as weak and not a threat abruptly became a threat. Kagome tolerated a lot in life. She went with the blows she was given and always tried to land on her feet. She wasn't meek – she was far from it however she did not see it was her place to enter into affairs concerning Goku and his family.

She loved Goku, yes, but his family was his.

That didn't mean she would let his ex-wife slap him.

So she did what she always did when she lost her temper, she yelled right back.

"You need to get out of our bedroom." Kagome growled angrily, cerulean orbs narrowed at the other woman, "If you want to talk we can talk like normal adults in the living room."

Chi-Chi glared at the younger woman and hissed, "This was my bedroom long before it was yours."

Kagome ignored the barb and stepped forward, "Get out before I make you get out."

Goku chuckled nervously as he placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder, "Kagome - "

"Now! You are trying my patience!" she snapped.

" – there is no need - "

"Your patience? How dare you, you home wrecking little whore!"

" – for things to get out of hand - "

"There wasn't a home to wreck you stupid, stupid woman!"

" – between the two of you now - "

"Stupid? Who are you calling stupid?"

" is there?"

"You called me a whore!"

With that the woman leapt one another and Goku caught Kagome around the middle and held Chi-Chi at bay with his free hand. With a self-suffering sigh he pushed Chi-Chi from the room and tossed Kagome on the bed.

Chi-Chi starred at the door that was closed in her face in shock and anger. How dare he? How dare he share their home with some idiotic no mannered child and then force her from the bedroom like some wayward child? She grasped the handle and was surprised to find the door locked and she gaped angrily. With an angry little huff she stalked over to the living room and sat on the couch to wait.

Minutes passed by slowly and it felt as though time had stood still but soon Goku exited the room fully clothed with Kagome trailing subdued however proudly behind him. They took a seat across from one another and Goku began quietly, "Chi-Chi, why are you here?"

Chi-Chi scoffed, "To see you."

Kagome narrowed her eyes but said nothing as Goku gave a carefree grin that he honestly wasn't feeling, "I understand that but why?"

The older woman glanced at Kagome and growled, "Does she have to be here? This is private!"

Goku nodded his head at his former wife, "Yes, she does. Kagome is a part of my life now and if you have anything to say it should be said in front of her too."

Chi-Chi took a deep breath and slowly stated, "I miss you."

The miko of another world tilted her head to the side and watched on with almost detached horror as Goku responded with, "I miss you too – you are my family."

Chi-Chi brightened immensely and gestured to Kagome, "So she is just a phase? And we can try again?"

There was silence from all three and after several moments, Goku reached across the table and gripped Chi-Chi's hand, looking directly into her dark orbs. Kagome stiffened at Goku's side abruptly confused at was going on before her. Goku finally shook his head and quietly murmured, "No, Chi-Chi… Kagome is not a phase. Kagome is staying and you and I cannot try again."

Chi-Chi pulled her hand away from Goku so quickly it was almost as if she had burned and tears swam in her eyes, "B-but why? Why can't we? We have a family together!"

The male leaned back and nodded his head, "We do have a family and for that I will always have a special place in my heart for you… but we can't try again. Nothing has changed – I still live to fight and you don't like it."

"And she understands? This child understands?" Chi-Chi inquired almost venomously and Goku nodded his head.

"Kagome lost everything – Kagome is a survivor. Kagome is a fighter." He glanced toward Kagome at his side. "She understands more than you know."

"She's a girl!"

Kagome shook her head after a moment and took a deep breath before murmuring, "No – I grew up faster than intended. I am first and foremost a woman despite what you see."

Kagome and Chi-Chi made eye contact and in that moment the older woman understood.

The soul reflecting in those crystalline hues was no doubt very, very old.

.

Chi-Chi left with a little less heat then when she came after several hours of trying to understand, tears of frustration, and arguing - her heart not shattered yet a little bruised. She had extended the duo an invitation in the future to a 'family dinner' - opting to be the mature woman she hda grown into - coming to the conclusion that in her marriage Goku had been her best friend and she missed that more than anything. After Kagome's reassurances that she would be fine with that Goku accepted and they settled on the tentative date of several months later to allow Chi-Chi some time to get used to the idea of Goku and Kagome.

When she disappeared over the hills surrounding the house Kagome turned to Goku and nuzzled him, not liking how subdued he had been during the meeting, "You okay?"

Goku nodded and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "To be honest that went better than I thought it would have."

Kagome looked up at Goku surprised, "It could have gone worse?" she squeaked.

He chuckled and pressed a quick kiss to her nose to which she went cross eyed at watching. His chuckle turned to full blown laughter as he swept her into his arms, "You have no idea how bad it could gone." Kagome squealed in his arms as he fell back onto the couch, Kagome straddling his waist.

"That was nerve wracking." She told him after running a hand through his untamable hair. "You don't have any more ex-wives coming to knock on our door unexpectedly, right?"

Goku tapped his chin as though thinking, "Not any more ex-wives but I do have over protective family and friends – you'll love them."

Kagome hit Goku in the chest playfully and he entangled long, calloused fingers into her ebony hair before resting them at the back of her neck and tugging her forward. She immediately responded and all her thoughts and worries melted away with his hands on her body and his taste on her lips.

She no longer worried about her friends and her family – she just hoped wherever they were that they lived long, happy lives just as she intended to do with the man that opened his heart and home to her.

'Gome Yuki:: End~ yeah. I got a review stating Kagome is a home-wrecker. She really isn't though. There wasn't a home to wreck. They were DIVORCED. A seconf review stated this would have been better had Kagome been a Saiyan. -_-;; I don't believe in changing Kagome. How would I explain that she is suddenly a saiyan? That makes no sense. Another stated this would have been better if Kagome had been older but that would have ruined the point of the story. An older man x younger woman romance where the odds were very much stacked against them. Whether Kagome is legal is never clarified and I leave that up to your imagination! I hope you all enjoyed just as much as I loved writing! A shout out to both Kibasin who is like my fave author EVAR and reviewed this story ;3 and The KimiKo who never failed to review! I appreciate all the support and love in the story! Let me know what you gusy felt about it! :3 ALSO - be on the look out for my new Devil May Cry x Inuyasha crossover! Dante x Kagome! :D
