Behind a Different Door
16
Intro of idiots:
Fire: Finally, I've done a schedule on when to update, and actually have time to do it. I did chapter 7 on T.I.E.T. and the next chapter of Behind a Different Door will either be one Monday or Tuesday.
Raven: So she says, but she might actually stick to it this time.
Fire: For those who would like to be updated by email, I'm going to start a mailing list.
Raven: Yep, and God knows she could hardly keep track of one otherwise.
Fire:*pushes Raven off the chair* Here are some reader responses and the chapter.
To the reviewers below:
Rei: It is disturbing isn't it? That's what you get when I'm writing.
Niki-sama: *Hands glass of water* We already know the couple, but you people won't. Not yet anyway.
InuKag0008: Raven's deeply touched that you liked her story!
Tani:*Laughs nervously* Tell me when your on the road. I'll um....remember to avoid cars.....ehh I'm no better
New Fan: Aww, I'm touched. Someone likes my story. Thanks, I will continue just for you people.
Dreamcatcher: Do you live in Miami? That friend of yours? That'd explain a lot...
Akiko-chan: Oh fine, agree with Raven on which is worse. I was sleep deprived I tell you!
For the rest- thanks for your reviews. I read them, but am taking up to much space on the replies. I bet you'd rather have it spent on the story right?
"Or would it be InuYasha. Honestly- Kagome who do you like more?"
Kagome bit her lip; she hadn't really expected such a question. She'd already asked herself that though, and never came up with an answer.
"If I do tell you, what guarantee can I get that it won't travel around half the school by tomorrow?" Kagome asked, stalling for time.
"None. But if the gossipers hear you don't like either then they'll probably tell everyone your a lesbian, or something worse." She said holding her head up as if it was something she was proud of.
"I see you point." Kagome said after a second. In her mind she was still thinking. Sesshoumaru and her seemed to have a lot more in common, but he still acted uninterested in her, and acted like he was above her in some way. InuYasha acted more down to Earth, and someone she could relate to as well if he didn't hate her.
She didn't know how quite to say it in clearer words, so told the girl just that.
"Aww- Kagome I'm sure he doesn't hate you." The girl teased seconds before one of the staff announced everyone to go into the meeting room. "Look for me, Misty on the first day. Until then, I have to go." With that, Misty disappeared into the quick moving crowd. Kagome shrugged. She might as well go find Sango.
-
Misty watched her go to the meeting room with a sly smile. Oh how she loved playing match maker. She was ever so sure InuYasha didn't hate her, and Sesshoumaru could come down to Earth. But in the meantime however, Misty headed off to find InuYasha who would probably be hanging out around building B.

Sesshoumaru heard the announcement over the loud speaker, but made no sudden motion to attend. He'd just went to regain his composer over that mad woman's driving. With another minute going by, he headed outside in a composed way. Building A, where the meeting would be held was just across the road. That was also the moment he saw it.
A small girl was running over to building B, and of course blinded by whatever she was thinking about, was completely obvious to the car approaching fast. Sesshoumaru sighed at first just waiting for her guts to be splattered over the road. But a second later he reached over, and grabbed the girl seconds before impact.
She landed on sidewalk, not to far from her what would be her death place. The girl, Misty looked up with wide eyes. "You saved me." She said at first, getting over the momentary shock. "How can I ever thank you?" She sprung to her feet releasing who he was.
"Do not approach me again." He said gruffly heading off. Sesshoumaru knew those types of girls before. You do one thing for them, and they won't stop following you. As they put it- they were in love by your hero act. Misty, Misty was no different.
She stood in the same place even after he was long gone, and decided upon it. Kagome couldn't have Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru was hers.
Taking a deep breath Misty turned on her heels and headed off to building B to meet InuYasha.
When she found him, he was sitting in a group surrounded by his friends. They were all laughing about something.
"InuYasha." She called over the crowd to get his attention. He turned to look at her with eyes of wonder. Wondering what she was doing here anyway.
"Misty, the gossiper, what do you want?" She heard someone ask from the left.
"Is it true that your adopted sister rather die then go out with you?" She asked at first waiting for the groups shocked expressions. "I mean, for someone who lives with the ever so cool, and hot InuYasha, wouldn't they be falling in love with you?"
InuYasha growled slightly. "Of course they would!"
"Then why isn't she?" Misty asked inclining for something.
"I just haven't turned on my charm yet, I can get any girl I want." He replied a little arrogantly being he was in front of his friends.
"So you can get her to fall in love with you in a weeks time?" Misty asked. "I'll tell everyone!" She said walking away before he could even respond. This was going to be good.

Naraku sat on the torn up couch fuming. He wasn't sure if he'd ever been more pissed off at the situation Kagome's gotten into in his life. When she got away by acting insane, and being locked up in that institute so they couldn't reach her it didn't bother him that much. Nor did it when she was going to be adopted out. But not to InuYasha's family. InuYasha could be easily manipulated as long as he thought he was going along with it.
But Naraku had bigger plans in mind. Not only could he get another minion, this one was rich, and could grow a lot of power. And if he did, Naraku would be the one in the background pulling the strings. However, he hadn't expected Kagome to come back along. She would probably see right through what he was doing, and inform InuYasha. She would be too much trouble, and that is exactly why Naraku decided that Kagome had to die.
"Kagura." He called her raping his fingers on the arm rest.
"Yes Naraku." She appeared in the doorway.
"Arrange for Kagome to be killed. Not by an assassin either. Come up with something creative this time, and be quick about it. And make sure nothing interferes. It's her life- or yours. Remember that.
