Hey everybody. I hope you enjoy reading this and I hope you will review after reading. I am planning on making this a two-shot so this first chapter isn't the end. I promise. Sesshomaru may seem a little... Actually a lot OOC, but I don't really care. If you don't like it, don't read.

I don't own Inuyasha. I don't on the songs You Could Be Happy by Snow Patrol and I don't own the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.

Sesshomaru

You could be happy and I won't know

But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

Sesshomaru, while leaning against the door frame, glanced at the woman rummaging through the drawers of all their things.

"Woman. Stop this madness now and put everything back."

She still continued to ignore him. She kept getting more and more of her things and shoving them into suitcases.

"Why are you even bothering with this? Do you honestly think I'm going to just let you walk right out of this house?"

If looks could kill, I would be dead a million times over. Her angry gaze never faltered as she answered in a calm, quite voice.

"Yes. I am. And you. Are. Not. Going. To. Stop. Me." She reached for some more clothes, placed them in the bag, and headed toward the bathroom.

She was reaching for her makeup, hair products, toiletries and put those into a different bag.

"Why are you even packing your things?"

She huffed as she threw the bathroom bag on the bed with the others and really looked at me. Not eyes filled with anger, or happiness. Just a look that felt as if it was looking somewhere deep inside myself that I didn't know existed.

"Do you know what day it is?"

What a stupid question. "Tuesday of course."

Then that was it. Her eyes filled with emotion. Sadness, regret, hurt. Tears started brimming the corner of her eyes and she quickly wiped them away. And the she smiled, a broken grin. "Of course it's Tuesday Sesshomaru."

She called in the maid, Maria, to help carry the bags. When Maria walked in, she looked at me, shook her head, and mumbled what I thought to be jackass and ungrateful in Spanish.

They both left the room and headed downstairs with me following right behind them.

"I will call the taxi seniorita." Maria left the front hallway and left Kagome standing there and me standing on the last step on the stairway.

Kagome then, started looking around the house and sighed. "You know Sesshomaru, I'm going to miss this house."

I scoffed at her statement. "But your not leaving. "

Her shone with fresh tears. "Today's our fifth anniversary Sesshomaru."

It was like a light bulb had flashed in my head and as what she said dawned on me, my eyes slightly opened wider.

"Kagome I…"

"Don't." She stopped me mid-sentence. "I don't want to hear the same excuse you gave me the last two years. I just… I don't think your happy with me here. In this house. I'm not just some possession that you can use when you need at any given moment. I'm only human Sesshomaru."

Her words rang through my head. "Your not happy here?"

She shook her head with a slow, sad nod. "I was, at one time. But me and you, haven't been a me and you. Not in a long time, and it's making me tired. So, so tired."

"You could be happy?"

A honk sounded from the driveway.

"Good bye Sesshomaru."

Maria came back in, and together they gathered Kagome's bags and left. Kagome left in the taxi and Maria went home to her family.

I was only in this empty house. I just sat on the edge of the stairs and sat.

I received the divorce papers a week later and signed them.

And all the things that I wished I had not said

Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

I kept waiting for Kagome to just walk back in the door and smile at me with love. Like she used to when I came home from work early.

But, she never did. Not all.

I stared staying at work later and later. I seemed to never leave the office. There was no point in me going home. I had nothing there but a cold bed.

Is it too late to remind you how we were

But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

When I was at home, all I did was remember the times that I should have been more caring.

"Sesshomaru your home late again. You said we'd go out to eat and we made the reservations and everything. And you know what? I sat there alone for three hours waiting on you."

I rubbed my temples as I sat back in my home office chair. "I thought you knew. I had this big meeting with a very important client and I…"

"Just couldn't miss it. Yeah. I know. That's what you say every time."

Kagome stomped out of the room and went to bed early. I swore I smelt the salt from her tears. And she had looked so beautiful that night.

And I took her for granted.

Most of what I remember makes me sure

I should have stopped you from walking out the door

I hadn't realized how much I needed her until she was gone. She was like my breath of fresh air. She wasn't money hungry, greedy, or always wanting something from me that would help her gain power. She only wanted Sesshomaru. The guy that she married.

We lost a child once. I remember when she was so happy to tell me that she was pregnant. I remember being happy right along with her. We made plans, thought of baby names, the whole thing.

I got a call in the office one night from the hospital.

"She's what? Yeah, I'll be right there."

I took off to the hospital and entered the room. The doctor was talking about the effects of what was to come with a miscarriage and Kagome's face held a pained expression. The doctor left and when she spotted me, she broke down into tears.

We didn't speak a word until we got home. She just dropped her bag on the floor and headed to the bedroom. She didn't eat or speak for days. I took up extra hours because I thought she needed time.

I guess I was wrong. She wanted someone to lean on, and be there in her time of need. Then one day, she just bounced right back up and things went back to normal and I thought nothing of it.

Well where was she in my time of need. She left me here a lonely demon. I should have fought for her more. More than just telling her she couldn't leave. I should have given her reasons for wanting her to stay.

You could be happy, I hope you are

You made me happier than I'd been by far

She made me happier. Without her, this is just an empty house and I'm just an empty man. But, I have entirely to much pride to admit that out loud.

If only I get myself out of my time-consuming job. But, my business needs me. I just can't up and quit. Why couldn't Kagome see that. Or… Could she?

"I have to work late tonight."

Her sigh echoed across the speaker in my phone. "I figured. I was already planning to leave your food in the fridge."

"Hn."

"Bye. Love you Sesshomaru."

"Bye." Click. End of that phone call.

"I love you to Kagome." Just like dust, passing in the wind. My confession falls on deaf ears.

I performed at my job a lot better. No, I'm just like a robot. I'm not wanting to achieve anything greater. I'm just staying at this one spot. Meetings everyday.

Kagome would encourage me to work. Saying everyone depends on my Corporation and that if I shut down, all hell would break loose.

Now, I'm just working to have something to take my mind of her.

Somehow everything I own smells of you

And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Sometimes, I forget she's not coming back. I think I'll catch a whiff of her perfume and I'll rush into an empty room.

At night, I'll sleep with her pillow and think she's actually there. Then I wake up and there's no more sleeping.

It was always nice to come home, get in bed, and wrap my arms around her. I slept better with her around. She always made me feel ready to take on the next days challenges.

Now, sitting here on the kitchen stool, I know.

I know that all things I've been thinking these past few months without her, are things I should have told her along. These thoughts are the words she'd wanting to hear.

Now it's too late. She gave up on listening, and left.

Do the things that you always wanted to

Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

Sometimes, when I came home from work early, she'd be sitting in her craft room drawing.

I asked her once and her answered shocked me.

"What exactly are you doing?"

"I'm drawing. Isn't that obvious." She rolled her eyes and continued to draw whatever it was she was drawing.

"Hn." I walk towards her desk and glance over her shoulder to see what she had been working on so furiously lately.

They were clothes. She had been designing clothes.

"You didn't think to tell me you wanted to be a fashion designer?"

She dropped her pencil and turned around to face me.

"I tried to tell you, but you would just brush it off. So I took it as a sign that you didn't care."

"Are not happy with the job you have now?"

She looked at me as if I grew a second head. "Sesshomaru… I don't have a job."

"So tending to the house means nothing to you?"

She grew angry and puffed up her cheeks. "Is that all you think I'm good for?"

Blank look from me.

"Well, I'll have you know, I have dreams too. I want to do something with my life not just play house bitch."

"Woman, that is not what I meant."

"Of course it wasn't. You know what? Just get out. Don't come in here if your just going to make fun of me. This is my space. This room is me. And I don't want you in here."

Looking in the magazines, I could tell your dream was a hit. Top actress and modeling business were practically begging her to design their clothes.

She had made a name for herself and was looking good.

But then, I wasn't around to snuff out her light, she was free to do things she wanted to do.

More than anything, I want to see you, girl

Take a glorious bite, out of the whole world

She was better off without me. I was just keeping her all to myself when she should have been out in the world.

She wanted someone to love her, and I failed. I didn't keep my promises to her.

I loved her so much, and I just let her leave and walk out the door.

But, at least now, she's living for her. The whole world is at her fingertips and now she can finally take that extra inch and grasp it without having to worry about what I would say.

"Congratulations Kagome. I still love you. But, I'm glad your happy now."
