Chapter 1: Painful Memories

Sesshomaru sat there like he did everyday looking out of the window from his mansion. He always saw her, always wanted to run to her side and apologize for what he did to her. He watched the streets every time he got a chance, which wasn't often due to his CEO position at his father's business.

He regretted what he did since that faithful day that never seemed to be far from his mind.

Flashback

Sesshomaru went into the mansion he shared with his fiancé as soon as he got off work since he never got to spend a lot of time with her. It was just a normal day like any other day. Stress at work was killing him but he still wanted to give her the attention she deserved.

"Kagome? Are you home?" Sesshomaru asked as he climbed the staircases to their massive bedroom.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have work?" Kagome sat down on the couch next to Sesshomaru.

"I got off early," was all that he felt like saying as he tossed his suit jacket on the other couch and sat down on the couch Kagome was on.

"So now you finally have time for your girlfriend in your busy schedule. How sweet of you," Kagome said with sarcasm dripping from every word that escaped her lips.

Sesshomaru sighed. They would talk about this everyday. "Kagome. You know I want more time with you but work is busy."

"Yeah whatever. I heard every excuse in the book. Why can't you just ask for some time off?" Kagome whined.

"What am I gonna tell my father? Oh dad I need time off of work because Kagome has been complaining. Kagome I have responsibilities at work."

"You have responsibilities to me too! I deserve some time!" Kagome got up and went into the bedroom and slammed the door.

"I give you as much time as I can Kagome! I do as much as I can for you," Sesshomaru said as he opened up her door and walked in as if they were just discussing the weather.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome sighed, "Jewelry and clothes are great but I would rather be spending time with you."

"Any other woman would be happy with what they're getting from me," Sesshomaru said sending Kagome a smart comment.

"Well I'm not any other woman and I deserve your time," Kagome whimpered from her bed.

"Kagome this is all the time I can give!" Sesshomaru sat on the bed beside and tried to pull her towards him but she rolled away.

"Then I can't be with you anymore if I'm only work a couple of minutes," and she took the ring off her finger and walked out of the room, "I'll be back for my stuff."

As she reached the door, Sesshomaru stopped her. "Kagome stop acting like this. You are worth so much more than a couple of minutes."

"Sesshomaru. I love you so much but I can't live like this anymore!" and she was gone. Never to return back to the mansion but walked by as if she had no memories of the times they had there.

That was 2 months ago and the thought of that argument still haunted his dream. Some nights he could feel her pressed against his body but when his hopes got up and he woke up, all he found was a big bed and the empty cold spot where Kagome used to lay every night. He was still in love with her. No matter how many women he slept with he was always feeling guilty. He wished he could just run out to her and tell her he was sorry. Sorry for not giving her the time she deserved or for letting her walk out the door.

He would call and get no answer. He would stop by her job and leave flowers and a little note telling her that he missed her but he never got a response.

"Why Kagome? Why did you have to leave me?" Sesshomaru whispered as he pressed his head into his hands. "I will win you back if it is the last thing I do."

He had an idea and he would make it work. All he needed was …
