Nara: It wasn't my fault! How was I supposed to know that he hated being mixed up with his brother? They are two out of four, you know!

"Blah"- talking

'Blah'- thinking

Blah- lyrics

Sesshomaru finally got home after working hard as the president of Youkai Computer Co. This job was not easy for him, but he was doing all for his wife, Kagome. He would do anything to make her happy. He got three cars, a garage to put them in, and at least ten credit cards. He walked into the house to find everyone asleep. He walked up to the master bedroom to find a sleeping Kagome. He slowly undressed and crept into bed. (AN: Just imagine it ladies Drool) "Good night, my beloved." With that, he went to sleep. But Kagome was still awake. 'My life couldn't be less perfect. I have a handsome husband, a house by the shore, three cars credit cards; this is better than anything I could have dreamed up. Who am I kidding? If this marriage were any less perfect, I would be filing for divorce. I don't want three cars. I can live without a car. Who needs credit cards either? All I want is a rose, a call from work. Sesshomaru please let me in. Would it really be that bad? Just let me know you love me just by looking in your eyes. I don't need any of this. I just need you to love me and show it.'

He works hard to give all he thinks she wants. A three-car garage. Her own credit cards. He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night. If he could only read her mind, she'd say, "Buy me a rose. Call me from work. Open a door for me. What would it hurt? Show me you love me by the look in your eyes. These are the little things I need the most in my life."

The next morning, Sesshomaru was downstairs and reading the newspaper. Kagome was awake but she felt dead inside. She felt this because for two years, she felt alone. 'Is there something wrong with me? Why won't Sesshomaru ever just look my way? We've been married two years and still he won't notice me. Did he marry me for my money?' She just didn't know what she did to make their relationship come to this.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Yeah, Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked with great curiosity.

"What's happening to our relationship?"

"Oh, would you look at the time? Sorry, Kagome. I have to go to work. Love you, Kagome." As he was about to walk out of the house, Kagome grabbed his arm gently and that caught his attention. First he was looking down at Kagome wondering why she stopped him. Then, he was looking up at her with a shocked look in his eyes and a handprint on his face. (N.N: Ouch.)(A.N: For once, I agree. Ouch.)

"Kagome, what was that for?" At this point, she was so mad at him, she didn't even answer his question. She just walked into the house without saying one thing. She didn't even say she was sorry.

"What was that about?"

Meanwhile, Kagome was furious at him for doing that. 'I can't believe him! How could he do that to me? Do I have to post a huge sign on my forehead that says, " Do something besides buy me stuff!" All I want is proof that he loves me. Is that so much to ask for? All I need is a rose, a call, just for him to let me in. Is it that bad? Why can't he see that I love him and don't need any of this? I just need him to prove his love for me with more than a house or credit cards. Sesshomaru, just love me.'

How the days have grown to years of feeling all alone. She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head. Would it make a difference if she'd said, "Buy me a rose. Call me from work. Open a door for me. What would it hurt? Show me you love me by the look in your eyes. These are the little things I need the most in my life."

Two Years Later...

Sesshomaru stopped trying to find out what was bugging Kagome. In fact, he basically gave up on Kagome and on finding her out. He kept paying more attention to work than to Kagome and Kagome kept trying to get him to show her that he loves her.

"I got to go to work. See ya, Kagome."

Kagome was trying her hardest to keep from screaming at him about what was happening to their relationship. She can hardly take it anymore, but she will keep trying until the day he shows his love for her. That's all she wants.

On the way to work, Sesshomaru turned on the radio just in time to here a dedication. It was a dedication from a man named Miroku who never truly gave his wife Sango the love she deserved. The song that he used for the dedication was the song "Buy Me a Rose" by Kenny Rogers, Alison Krauss, and Billy Dean. When he heard the last verse of the song, he realized what happened two years ago. He was so busy giving her material things; he forgot the reason why he married her. He married her because he loved more than he could love money, cars, or basically anything else on Earth or in Heaven. He wanted to prove his love for her so much he bought her cars, gave her credit cards, and even got her a house on the shore. When she slapped him last year, he should've realized that she didn't want any of those things. All she wanted was love. So, he called in sick and raced home to do something he should have done five years ago.

The more that he lives, the less that he tries to show her the love that he holds inside and the more that she gives, the more that he sees this is a story of you and me.

"Kagome, I'm home."

"Sesshomaru, what are you doing home so early? You're not supposed to be here until noon."

"I came home early. I forgot something."

"What did you forget? Your suitcase?"

"No. I forgot to give you this."

With that, he pulled out a rose from behind his back along with a little black box. When Kagome opened the box, she saw the most beautiful diamond.

"It is the most beautiful diamond money could buy. I bet that diamond would do nothing to enhance your beauty."

"Oh? And why is that?"

"Because you are already so beautiful, nothing would be able to do so. You bring even the most beautiful diamond in the world to shame."

"Sesshomaru, you didn't have to."

"Yes, I did. I wanted you to see that I care about you. Kagome, just know that you mean the world to me and that I would do anything to make you happy. For me not to notice that you were not happy was foolish of me. I hope you can forgive me. If you can't, I understand."

Sesshomaru was actually telling the truth. He was foolish and not just because he didn't see that Kagome was unhappy, but because he thought Kagome wouldn't understand.

"Sesshomaru, how foolish can you get? Of course I forgive you. You think I'd marry you if I thought you weren't going to make mistakes. You told me when you married me that things wouldn't be perfect and to expect ups and downs. I understood that and dealt with it. I just can't believe I had to slap you to get you to realize it."

"Speaking of, if you ever start to doubt how much I care about you, feel free to slap me again."

"I'm sorry for doing that Sesshomaru. I was just mad when you dodged my question like that."

"Don't worry about it. I deserved it. I really should have paid more attention to you instead of work and getting you things you probably don't need. I'm the one who's sorry. I just wanted to show you that I really love you."

"I would have known if you just did what you did today. I should also be able to tell just by looking at you."

"I hope you can see it now. Now, I suggest you get ready."

"For what?"

"For dinner. I made reservations at Davio's."

"What? But that's the most expensive restaurant in the city!"

"Nothing is too expensive for you. I would buy the world for you if it made you happy. Just so you know, I'm going to make you happy for as long as my love shall live."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean as long as I love you, I will do what I can to make up for the five years that I wasted."

"Why your love's life? Why not your life?"

"Because I will not live that long, but I will love you forever and beyond."

They took one more long, loving look into each other's eyes and Kagome saw something she hadn't seen in five years since their marriage. She saw trust, sincerity, and the one thing she always wanted to see. Love.

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work to open the door to a heart that I hurt and I hope you notice this look I my eyes cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life. (Rest of your life.) Yeah, I'm gonna hold you tonight and do all those little things for the rest of your life.

Kat: There it is. Hope you loved it and visit again for more songfics.
