Summary: Who would've thought an empty beer bottle could've caused…so much trouble…
AN: Hi! I have come up with another one shot. Yes, the name is: The Beer Bottle. I know it is weird, but you'll see that it makes sense later in the story! For now, just relax and enjoy the…story! Dreadfully sorry for deleting some of my stories; I had a feeling that they weren't good enough. Anything below my expectations will be deleted, to let you know. Remember to review! I hope you enjoy this story!

They met two years ago. She banged into him. He didn't know why, but he felt attracted to her. It was just like two magnets, the unlike poles attracting. In this case, he didn't mind.
Sesshoumaru Tashio.
Kagome Higurashi.
She banged into him. Well, actually, crashed into his chest. She knelt down to pick up her fallen books. While he just stood there, staring. She didn't know why, but she was attracted to him.
Now, five years later, she was his girlfriend and soon-to-be wife. They hadn't drifted away, instead gotten even closer, even to the extent of cohabitating.
So, she didn't know why when he suggested that they break up.
He had met this girl at a restaurant. She had given him her number. He felt strong feelings towards her, much stronger than the ones to Kagome. Even though he had slept with Kagome, deflowered her, he had no qualms, no guilt, to go out with this new girl, Kagura.
When he mentioned a break-up, she didn't cry. She didn't complain. She just sat there, quiet, pondering.
She came home and found the house empty. Then, the memories came flooding back to her brain. That was right; he had mentioned a break-up yesterday. It was not expected that he would move out of his house though. She knew he had always pampered her; until now. Unconsciously, she whispered to herself.
"Why?"
She looked at the full beer bottle on the table. The bottle that he had left behind. He had always loved drinking. She remembered all the good times they had together. Both of them led a perfect life. Why did he have to leave her? Thousands of questions rang through her mind, flooding it, drowning her.
She grabbed the beer bottle, opened it, and drank the full contents. She didn't care that it was his, she didn't care that she would get drunk, and she just wanted to drink her sorrows away.
Slumping against the wall, a tear silently rolled down her cheek, and the sound clearly rang through the silent house. Sliding down to the ground, she smiled, maniacally, at the bottle, taking a swig although it was empty. Her cheeks were a hue of red, she was obviously drunk, but yet sober at the same time.
She thought, a sweet smile adorning her face. Her sanity had been intact when she met him. What had happened after that? That smile was replaced by a frown. He had tainted her soul, corrupted her mind, and left her. Left her with a broken heart. It was all too painful to remember. She wished she could forget the past, forget everything about him, and start anew. Alas, he was like an addiction; a drug; once you got him, you couldn't let go, even for a minute. It was as if she could hear her heart turning into glass, cracking, and falling, into the deep depths of her soul.
Her eyes were dull as she took hold of the empty beer bottle, and crashed it against the wall. Glass shattered and her hand started to bleed, but she took no notice. Shards scattered over the floor, and she blindly walked over them, having no reaction when the shards pierced her skin. Walking to the door, she walked up the stairs, to the roof.
Muttering incoherently, she stared at the view, cars rushing by, people walking, and the building where Sesshoumaru worked in. Her hair was blown wild by the wind. She smiled.
He slammed the door, hard. Turning on the engine, he drove like a maniac. That woman dared to cheat on him with her HUSBAND. Furious, he drove around the streets, aimless, thinking of something to do. Wistfully, he thought what Kagome was doing. Suddenly, a thought struck his mind and he drove ferociously, back to his old home. His mind only held one thought:
Kagome was fragile to shocks.
Brushing back her hair, she stood on the ledge. Staring back into space, slowly, she fell. Thinking about her past memories, about Sesshoumaru, and all her friends. She faintly saw a man with silver hair rushing out of the roof door, and running over to the ledge, and trying to clutch her hand.
He failed. He had just rushed there, out of the roof door, when he found the bloody trail leading to the stairs of the roof. Running to the ledge, he saw a falling Kagome. Trying to clutch her hand, he swiftly missed, and he thought that he saw a smile upon her face before she closed her eyes.
"KAGOME!" He shouted, waking up. (AN: Sorry, but I GOTCHA!! I k new that you all didn't expect his. So in your faces, readers! xP) His girlfriend and soon-to-be wife of five years, Kagome, slept beside him soundly. Mumbling something, she asked him if he had called her name.
"No. I'm just going to the kitchen to get a drink." Nodding her head, Kagome drifted off to lalaland again. Taking a note out of his jeans pocket hastily, he headed to the kitchen. Seeing the full beer bottle on the table, he grabbed it.
Then, he threw the beer bottle and the note which had Kagura's phone number on it. The mutual feeling between him and Kagura was gone. On his way back to his fiancée, he muttered,
"An empty beer bottle…I'm never drinking again."
End!
AN: How was it? I know it was a bit sad and stuff, but review, kay? I need inspiration. And this story was bugging me for two whole weeks after I lost my confidence of writing. (sob) BUT I got a bit of my confidence back now. Just need 99.999 more to go!!
