I was stupid and accidentally deleted this whole story. So, from scratch....this is for Hairann's weird-ified challenge. The song is One more Minute.

“I'm leaving.”

Sesshomaru stared at her packed suitcase in disbelief.

“Why?”

Kagome crossed her arms and took a deep breath releasing it slowly.

“The fact you even have to ask...”

She shook her head and looked at his blank expression.

“Look, this, just...isn't working. We're too different. I tried I really did. You had to have noticed?”

“I am of course aware that we are dissimilar in many ways although I have never considered it to be more than we could handle.”

Kagome felt tears sting at her eyes. She wasn't going to cry now that she had made up her mind.

“I didn't either at first. It isn't the fact you are youkai and I am human that is the problem here. I had thought that was going to be the main problem..., ” she gave a defeated chuckle, “the truth is it really isn't an issue. It's how distant you are. I...I need, more.”

He only looked down at her upturned face impassively and said nothing.

“This is exactly what I mean,” she whispered.

Kagome picked up her bag and went to the door.

Not moving from his spot he asked, “Where will you go?”

She turned to him and hesitated.

“I am moving in with Inuyasha.”

His mouth twitched.

“He says he still loves me and he never gave up hope I would someday love him too.”

The door closed behind her with a soft click.

He stood motionless staring at the last place she stood until the sun had set and darkness filled the room.

That is when the anger and bitterness set in.

He didn't need light to do what his mind compelled his limbs to fulfill. He whipped through their, now his, apartment and grabbed framed pictures off walls and side tables and hurled them into the fireplace. He found her stuffed cat she said reminded her of her childhood pet Buyo and added that to the shattered glass and shredded pictures. He then found the shoe box in which he had saved all their love letters to each other. He hadn't told her he had saved them and read them over and over whenever she was gone. Just to feel her near him. Those also were tossed into the pile. Seconds later everything was ablaze.

He was determined not to shed a tear for her. He would sooner jump into the fire and burn himself alive first.

Inuyasha.

Of all the men for her to run to he couldn't believe it was him. The man who claimed for years to love her and yet slept with one woman after another.

Sesshomaru gripped his hands into tight fists and felt blood trickle to the floor from the damage made from his claws to his own skin.

He watched the flames until they became nothing but embers. The charred remains of shriveled photos were all that remained. He saw that one picture seemed to have a center that hadn't completely burned.

Sticking his hand in the ash ignorant of the sting to his flesh he grabbed the flimsy material and saw it was a snapshot of Kagome's smiling face.

He crumpled it in his hand. There was nothing that could ever entice him to seek her out. Take her back. He never wanted to even be in the same room with her again. It would have been easier if he had put his own heart in the flames.

No matter how much pain he wanted to inflict to himself to distract him from her leaving him he knew, that somehow, this wasn't over. Not by a long shot.
