I haven't read your story so I don't know about the time line, but one realistic option would be simply drifting apart. People change over time and so can their feelings. Kagome and Inuyasha especially being so young in the canon, I could easily just see them growing up in different directions.
Also sometimes, no matter how much you care for the other person, and even if the feelings were mutual, you're just not a good match for each other. Lack of communication to my understanding is one of the biggest underlying reasons in relationship problems.
Especially for Sess, external factors could also be weighing in, like stress from work/ruling the lands, or perhaps disapproval of his relationship from his peers/subjects, plenty of things like these could start putting strain on him. He could become more short-tempered or maybe withdrawn and that in turn would put strain on the relationship until it simply could not take it anymore.
