Behind a Different Door

Fire- I'd promised I updated, and I finally did! The story is almost finished, and once this is done I'd actually work on finishing the other fics better.

Raven- Like Tie it even tighter

Fire- Yeah, or Clouded eyes or something

Raven- Or Tie it even tighter

Fire- Or Devilish Angels

Raven- Or Tie it even tighter

Fire- Or.....

Raven- Your updating Tie it Even Tighter next time damnit!

Fire- Ok......I'll even it out....now read the story full of typos because I was in such a rush I didn't read it over.....

Minutes turned to hours, and it seemed like almost an eternity of waiting when a black car pulled up. Kagome barely even glanced over, seeing what she expected. Tinted windows blocked out sight to the interior or the car, and the engine was never turned off even as Naraku got out.

'He has probably got his lackies in there.' Kagome thought bitterly, turning back to her previous place. She had stopped crying completely, and did the best she could to erase the red tear marks from her face.

The crunch on the rubble told her everything that was happening. Naraku was walking up behind her pausing a few feet away. He then dropped something by her feet. She didn't look up to see what it was, she didn't have to.

"Dear Kagome." His voice was passive, but she could feel the smile tugging at his lips as though it was burning right through her skin.

Kagome rubbed her arms trying to get a hold of herself. She'd been waiting for this for years since she'd escaped, played it over again in her mind, but she couldn't stop her heart from racing.

"Remember place don't you? The house were your father used to torture you and your family. I'd came along and offered you salvation. You were to accept, and I helped you stop your father from ever coming back-- but yet you ran away, burning this place to rubble as though it were some distraction."

While Naraku's voice was dead calm as he reflected a bit upon the past, Kagome couldn't bring herself to say anything. What he said was true, but she knew he was portraying it the wrong way; she wasn't in the position to tell him off, not yet.

Naraku's eyes bored into her back, and she knew despite the point he was slightly mad from the past, he was having the most fun of seeing her struggle.

"You can end it all though-- I can't bother you then. InuYasha can't be mad at you then, and you will never have to worry about anything again." Kagome shivered biting her tongue, and pulling her head up just enough to see the gun next to her.

"Come on bitch, you had no problem killing your father thinking it's what's right, but now your to afraid to kill yourself. Your making peoples lives hell Kagome, you have no point of existing. Shouldn't you kill yourself if that is what's right?"

Kagome flinched as his words hit come painfully, but she gathered her nerve, and stood up.

"You make peoples lives hell Naraku. You've destroyed what was left of mine, and Kikyou's. You should die, because that is right." Kagome couldn't even believe the words that were rolling off her tongue-- The fact she was speaking to Naraku like so, or what she was saying.

Kagome snatched the gun off the ground, and turned to look straight at him. His appearance had haunted her dreams for such a long time he seemed no worse now then ever.

She pointed it straight at him, but he seemed no more intimidated than ever. "You should have died long ago Naraku, it was the only way to ever get you to stop."

"And you would be the one to kill me Kagome?" He started, a wicked smile decorating his face. "Doubtful-- your to scared to kill me. I was the only one who ever showed a better life, all your dreams would come true behind that door as long as you stayed with me." Narakus eyes darken, and the humor was lost from his face.

"Your a sinner who has no right to repent. You will die." Naraku said in a monotone voice, reaching into his jacket.

Kagome stopped in midbreath, and not because of what Naraku was doing. She didn't freeze because she was in danger of dying, or because a light shade of rain came drizzling down.

She froze because a third car pulled up, and it was not one of Naraku's lackies. She froze because Inuyasha got out of the passenger seat, and was running up to the scene without thought. She froze because Naraku turned his gun on InuYasha.

But she hadn't been frozen when a shot rang out.

Dun Dun Dun- a cliffy from hell. I know it was short, but I had to leave it off here for the alternate endings. I'll explain how that works, so you might want to read this:

There will be two chapters following this, the conclusion of this one. Alternate ending- and one for InuYasha/Kagome, and one for Sesshoumaru/Kagome. They will both be posted at the same time, and you can go with whichever one you wanted more. You will have to click the chapter selector and go to either InuYasha which is directly next, or Sesshoumaru which is after that. I know my explanations are confusing, so sorry about that.

There are the two alternate ending chapters, and one epilogue left- super( Fire is the only one whos happy it's almost over.)
