Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the Anime or any of the songs that I will be using in this story. Thank you and enjoy.
Note: And if you're wondering why it is still written in Kagome's point of view when she's not even in the part, well…it's Kagome telling the story of her past. Therefore, she already knows about all these things that happened.

Chapter 1: An Okay Today
I work two part time jobs and it's hard for Inuyasha and I to get along anymore. We don't have children because I don't believe we are financially stable enough to support them. He doesn't like that idea, but it's true. Yes, Inuyasha works for the famous Shikon Inc. that his father once owned. But half of the money he earns goes to his parents, InuTaisho and Izayoi. I didn't finish university so my job isn't as well paid as Inuyasha's. However, I believe that we are well off enough to support each other and that's all that matters at the moment. We are still young, we can have children anytime-
"Kagome, where's my suit?" Inuyasha yelled from our bedroom.
"Gee, I don't know. Maybe it's in the closet, dummy!" There was a pause, and I went back to my cooking.
"Found it!" He yelled back. He came out of the hallway grinning like an idiot. "Hey, Kagome. Why don't you take tonight off, I'll take you out to dinner." I sighed. I really wanted to spend some time with him, I really did. But I've been sick for the past few days and today was supposed to be my first day back.
"Inuyasha, it's not that I don't want to…" I felt so much guilt when the grin on his face slowly faded away. "Honey, how about another time? I can't just say that I got sick again. I'll probably get fired." I tried to reason, but he looked really hurt.
"You know, Kagome. We never get to spend time with each other anymore." When he said those words, my heart was ripped to pieces. "Forget it. I'll call Miroku and tell him I'm coming to work tonight. If you need anything, call me alright?" He straightened out his tie and kissed me on the cheek before leaving the house. You know, I used to be the one who straightened his tie and gave him a kiss before he left. I used to be waiting for him at home for dinner. I used to wait and wait even if he was working overtime. That is, until I got sick and we needed more money to buy my medication. Inuyasha worked so hard and it killed me to see him so stressed, so I decided to get a job. However, just one didn't seem to help, so I got two part time jobs. Inuyasha didn't like that idea either.
"Hey Miroku," Inuyasha said as he walked down the driveway. "Cancel my day off this afternoon."
"Another problem with the wife, Inuyasha?"
"Shut up, asshole."
"Hey, I was just kidding." There was a pause between the two friends. "Just give Kagome a little time and space. Don't you remember why she's doing this in the first place?" Miroku asked.
"Actually, no. I don't. You know why? We don't fucking talk anymore!"
"Well, let me remind you. She only got these jobs because she felt bad for making you work too hard, that's all. She's only doing this for you, remember that." Inuyasha heard Miroku sigh on the other line. "She's your wife-"
"That's exactly why I'm so upset, Miroku! I miss the things we used to do together, like go for walks on the beach. Or sitting on the couch watching those stupid sappy love movies that she likes so much. I miss spending time with Kagome…" By this time, Inuyasha had already arrived at Shikon, and he was too depressed to talk anymore so…he just hung up on poor Miroku.
"Real mature…" Miroku said as the line went dead.
Meanwhile, I was on the phone with my best friend Sango. "Kagome, you have to stop ignoring Inuyasha for work, I mean…it's not too good for your relationship."
"Sango, I'm doing this so Inuyasha doesn't have to work so hard. Remember when I didn't have these jobs? He barely even got to sleep at night. He'd come home from work, spend the rest of the night with me, slept for a few hours and went back to work. I don't want that happening again."
"Yeah, I remember. But don't you think that if you don't spend time with him, he'll find someone else to? I mean, men are like that, Kagome. Come on, if I don't spend every waking moment with Miroku…he'd probably be screwing some whore right now." My heart almost stopped.
"No. No, Inuyasha wouldn't do that to me." I got so upset about what she said that I didn't even say goodbye and I hung up. I was beginning to pick up Inuyasha's habits. Don't you think he'll find someone else to? Those words rang in my head over and over.
Inuyasha wouldn't cheat on me…would he?
It was 11 o'clock at night when Inuyasha came back from work. "Hey." I said as he walked through the door. I saw him frown and I almost flinched. I didn't like it very much when he got angry. Especially when he was angry at me. "You're not still mad about the dinner thing, are you? Please, I'm sorry…"
"No. I'm just wondering why you're not asleep yet. Kagome you're working two jobs, you have to get your sleep." I smiled at the tenderness in his words. So he wasn't mad at me, what a relief.
"I know." I said quietly. "But I couldn't sleep. I thought you were still mad at me." He didn't say anything, he only smiled at me and kissed my forehead before taking my hand and tucking me into our bed.
"Goodnight, Kagome." I closed my eyes, and what a great way to end my day. "I love you."
