My life is brilliant

He walked down the busy streets of Tokyo, every once in a while checking his platinum watch on his wrist.

"I'm going to be late," he mumbled to himself.

This man, with silver hair and golden eyes, went by the name of Taisho, Sesshoumaru. One of the richest men in Japan, Sesshoumaru owned of course the inherited company, Taisho Corp. plus many other companies.

A cold gust of wind swept across his face as he was urged to pull his coat tighter around his body as it already was. Lots of female glances took his way. Of course there would be many lusted glances. He was Japan's most successful, and 'sexiest' bachelor. Smiling in spite of himself, he remembered the article that she showed him while she was still working at his company. He would have smirked seeing the wife of some glaring other throwing appreciative looks at him, but he didn't. He was too busy running. She was going without him if he didn't.

My life is brilliant

My love is pure

"Hey Sesshou!" a blue-eyed girl called out to him. He only nodded in response as he entered the rain. He made it just on time. Freezing, a little bit bout sneezing, and all.

He was cold. There was no doubt about it as he felt the sudden change of temperature in the train. Shivering, he pulled out his gloves from his coat. Berating himself for forgetting to put him on in the first place, he only nodded unconsciously as she started talking. Sudden warmth engulfed his hand as a slight smile reached his features.

I saw an angel

Of that I'm sure

He then turned to the girl and just gazed at her. Still he nodded whenever she seemed like she was asking him something to see if he was paying attention, but in truth he wasn't. Her seraphic face appeared peaked from the frigid weather, but there was a radiant glow on her features. Her cheeks were tinged pink from the cold weather outside. Her lips were a bit pale, but that Sesshoumaru didn't care.

Her raven black hair, seemingly being lit by moonlight was hung loose giving her a carefree expression. Something, he knew he wanted to be… and how he wanted her to be.

"Sesshou?" the girl asked him.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call this Sesshoumaru, Sesshou, miko?" he said in a teasing tone as he saw her get all ruffled.

"And how many times do I have to tell you not to call me miko, Sesshou…maru?" she said with a taunting smile on her face.

She smiled at me on a subway

"What?" he asked in an innocent tone, "Are you not the beautiful shrine maiden I see everyday while I pass by?"

Sudden red tinged her cheeks, as an instant surge of pride rushed through him.

She was with another man

"Well it's obvious you would pass by. You had to drive Inu often and Rin always wanted to play with Shippou," she winked as his sudden happiness took a turn.

"I don't see what you see in my half-brother," he growled.

She shook her head and laughed it off. She always saw it as some petty sibling rivalry, and maybe part of it was, but it was deeper than that. It always was deeper than that… at least always was every since Sesshoumaru first laid his eyes on her.

But I wont lose no sleep on that

Cause I've got a plan

Kagome never really did understand Inuyasha's "past" ties with Kikyou. She never really understood that Inuyasha was using her. That she was only a replica to him, because of her alleged 'resemblance' to Kikyou. Of course she would figure it out soon enough. After all, her best friend Sango knew.

'I needn't worry myself with that… she will find out of Inuyasha's unfaithfulness soon enough…' he thought. Kagome's thoughts snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Besides," Kagome continued, "I'm not that pretty anyway," she said to him with a tinge of sadness in her sapphire pools making Sesshoumaru want to tell her the darkest secret he kept in his iced heart.

You're beautiful

How he wanted to correct her, hold her… tell her that Inuyasha wasn't worth it. He looked at Kagome once more and told her.

"Of course you're not pretty Kagome," he said quietly. Kagome never noticed as she heard her cell phone ringing.

He would have been blind not to see the joy that took her features when she saw who was calling. Inside, he became angry, yet didn't show it. He never showed those feelings, with a few exceptions to those few smiles he gave to Kagome. She was the only one to see them… and maybe that's why he wanted her.

She made him smile. She made him laugh. Most of all, she made him happy. That was it. But he was a master at hiding at feelings.

He could lie to his father and his father wouldn't be able to detect his truth from a lie because his face looked the same. He could look into one of his client's most intimidating face and be expressionless, because he had mastered the art of not showing anything… just blank.

He could make it seem like he didn't care about things, when he did… when he truly honestly did. And maybe, just maybe, that's what made him lose her in the first place.

"Wait a minute Sesshoumaru… it's Inuyasha," she giggled and he nodded in mock understanding. Of course, Kagome being Kagome, she never noticed.

You're beautiful

"You're not pretty… you're beautiful," he told himself more than her, since she was too busy talking to Inuyasha.

She was criticizing herself again. How she wasn't as good as Kikyou, as beautiful as Kikyou, as talented as Kikyou, just like Kikyou. He knew that was what they were talking about again, when Kagome's voice got more defensive… higher… yet weaker.

You're beautiful

It's true

Of course she wasn't though. She was Kagome. Kagome was better than Kikyou, more enchanting and innocent as Kikyou. Kagome do other things Kikyou couldn't do. But Inuyasha couldn't see that. Kagome, herself, couldn't see that. She couldn't see the things he could see. Because of that, Sesshoumaru wanted to pummel his half-brother's face in, because Kagome just didn't seem happy anymore.

Kagome's exuberant mood died a few seconds before their phone call ended. He already knew what it was about. There was no need to ask.

"You're better than what that woman could ever be," he told her with no expression and turned to look through the windows before he could see her reaction, too afraid that she'd think he was kidding around with her again… and ask him if he was serious.

Maybe, just maybe, if he just saw he would have tried once more to get her back. All he needed to do was try just once to show that he did care, and she would have been his.

But he didn't, and just like any other tragic love story, she didn't become his.

I saw your face

In a crowded place

And I don't know what to do

He turned back to see her features, missing that little maybe-love shining in her eyes… and missing the disappointment in her features to see that he caught his attention elsewhere.

Yeah she caught my eye

As I walked on by

A few months later, was their wedding.

'Their lovely, bloody, wedding…' a random thought went around. But it wasn't Sesshoumaru's wedding. It was Kagome and Inuyasha's wedding.

He was the best man. Inuyasha must've been laughing at him when he told him Kagome said yes. He actually wasn't supposed to be the best man actually… that lecher was supposed to be. But Kagome's option for the maid of honor was Sango, Miroku's wife, but she was badly pregnant. You could see the huge bump at her stomach and from Sango's face you could see that she was having trouble walking.

So Kagome told Inuyasha that she would choose the best man and he would choose the maid of honor. It was no surprise that Inuyasha would pick Kikyou. It was just a surprise that Kagome chose him.

Because Kagome chose him, he told himself to behave when he was walking down the aisle with Kikyou, and told himself to not rip her head off when he saw her exchange a lusty glance that was gladly returned by the groom.

Each word spoken in that wedding seemed like a dagger, stabbing him all over. Yet again, the emotionless mask remained on. His last chance of getting her that day was lost, when he missed her longing glance at him. It was soon replaced with sadness when she turned to look at her future husband.

Love stories just seem so sad whenever the girl expects her man to save her from her worst decision of her life. But Sesshoumaru was just not brave enough. Not brave enough to risk rejection.

And now he was at their reception, with Kagome dancing with other bridesmaids and guests, at the same time looking for Inuyasha.

If only she saw Inuyasha having tongue-hockey with Kikyou. But she didn't. Just like any girl in the love story. But usually she leaves that unfaithful man for the man that truly loved her.

She could see from my face

That I was fucking high

Sesshoumaru drank up another glass of wine as he stood up.

"Where you goin' Taisho?" One of Inuyasha's guests, Kouga, asked with a sloppy smile.

"I'm leaving," he said in the most controlled voice he had. He had enough with being in a celebration that he never wanted to take part in.

But maybe it was because he was in a celebration that he wished he were the one that married Kagome…

…Not his no good cheating bastard of a brother.

"Sesshou!" Kagome called out from the group of girls surrounding her consisting of Kagura, Ayame, Kanna, and some other girls he never took the time to remember the names of.

She saw him about to leave and she could tell he was drunk.

And I don't think that I'll see her again

But we shared a moment that'll last till the end

He ignored her call, hoping that she would forget about him and stop making him feel the pain of seeing a ring on her hand.

"SESSHOU!" she yelled louder, when she was closer to him, and it was only when something tugged at his arm did he stop.

"Did you not hear me?" she asked above the loud music playing.

'What is he trying to do? He can't go because he's too drunk to drive!' she thought with concern and anger at his idiocy.

"You're beautiful," he said in a straight voice, though he was not in the right mind. He would never get her anyway.

"You were always beautiful to me Kagome, and I love you…" he said with a thinned smile as he walked away from her.

Kagome was too shocked to tell him that he couldn't go because he was too drunk, or come after him. He told her he loved her… on her wedding night! All this time, she was giving him chances to stop her from getting married… and now it was too late.

"Hey Kaggs," muscled arms wrapped around her waist.

She turned around to see her husband with mussed up hair…

"I've only had one dance with my wife this night, and I expected at least more," he winked as he pulled her to the dance floor.

Kagome finally registered the events in her mind. She pulled away from Inuyasha, and ran after Sesshoumaru.

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

Sesshoumaru got into his sleek black car and turned on his engine. His world was going all blurred and he knew it wasn't safe to go driving. He didn't care. He just thought about the blue-eyed woman he loved.

You're beautiful

It's true

She was breathtaking in her wedding dress. It looked stunning in her, the white gown and all. It was a plain white gown with no sleeves, and nothing holding up the dress. The fabric clung onto her beautiful form that every muscle she used to walk down that aisle could be seen.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to have reflected the baby blue of the sky. They were happy.

There must be an angel

With a smile on her face

When she thought up that I should be with you

"SESSHOUMARU!" she called out as she saw him beginning to drive away. Thankfully, his window was rolled down and she saw him look out and glance at her.

She smiled in relief that she caught him. Her thoughts revolved around him. Maybe it wasn't too late to go back. Maybe it wasn't too late for them to be together.

She loved him, damnit! She realized just how much after what he said, and she picked picked up as much of the gown as she could hold so she could have an easier time moving.

But its time to face the truth

Running, she tried to reach his car. But just because he glanced at her didn't mean he actually…

Sesshoumaru's world was too fuzzy to think correctly. When he saw Kagome's smile there was a part of him that told him to wait for her. That part of him forgot he was in the car… and forgot that he had to press the brake.

As she was running his car lurched forward right into the path of a speeding truck. He saw Kagome's smile turn into a look of sheer terror as he felt his body get thrown into the air and his head hit the steering wheel.

Everything was red at first in the first few seconds. After that there was nothing.

I will never be with you

Nobody remembered that day as the day Kagome and Inuyasha were married… it was remembered as the day Sesshoumaru died.
