[A/N]: Hi everybody. I'm a new writer here and this is my first fanfic.
This is actually a spinoff of another story that I'm planning to put up
on once I get a few chapters written so some background stuff may
become clearer when I get the other story out. This fic is written
mainly from Sango's p.o.v.
Disclamer : I do not own the Inu-Yasha crew, however I DO own Josh, the plot and any minor (or slightly major) changes I made to the characters. If you don't like the changes I made to the characters then don't read this story. Any flames shot at me will be absorbed and spit back. (Reference to "The Mask" an excellent movie in my opinion) Anyway, on with the fic.
Chapter one: The trouble begins
Setting: Night time (around one or two in the morning)
I was walking in downtown Tokyo with Miroku and his boyfriend, Josh, after seeing the movie Princess Diaries 2. It was in English but had subtitles so we could understand it. And yes, I did say "boyfriend". You see Miroku is gay. He came out of the closet to Inu-Yasha, Kagomé, Shippo and I about a year and a half ago after he met Josh. His parents are still clueless, though. He says he's saving the secret to use against them when he's really pissed off at them. But I digress.
We were walking down the sidewalk chatting about the movie, among other things. Miroku and Josh were holding hands and I was walking beside Miroku. Suddenly Josh stopped and turned his head towards the alleyway that we had just passed. Miroku and I stopped talking and turned to Josh.
"What's up?" Miroku asked him
"Did you hear that noise back there? It sounded like someone calling for help." Josh replied. We both shook our heads. We hadn't heard anything. "I'm going to check it out." He slipped his hand out of Miroku's and started towards the alleyway but Miroku's voice made him pause.
"I'm going with you." Miroku told him "You shouldn't go in there alone." Both Josh and I heard the concern in his voice but Josh spoke first.
"No, 'Roku." he replied using his nickname for him. "I'll be fine." Miroku began to protest but Josh continued. "Besides we can't leave Sango out here alone." I made a noise of disbelief.
"I'm able to take care of myself thank you. I don't need anyone's protection. Besides it's safer if all three of us go. That way I can protect you two from the big, bad bogey man." I retorted trying to lighten the mood but it didn't seem to work.
"It's alright, Sango. I'm fine on my own." Josh replied softly and kissed Miroku. "Don't worry." With that he went into the alleyway. I put my arm around Miroku's shoulders and laid my head down. I could feel his tense muscles through his leather jacket. "It's alright, Miroku don't worry. He will call us if he needs help. He knows how to fight." He just stood there, unresponding. I sighed. "If he doesn't call us or come out in 2 minutes we'll go in, ok?" After a few minutes he silently nodded and I knew he felt only mildly reassured.
The night was getting colder and I started to shiver as I was only wearing a light sweater with my tank top and baggy jeans. Miroku noticed this and took off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders. I looked up at him, surprised.
"Won't you be cold though?" I asked
"No, you need it more than I do, Sango-chan." he replied and I smiled my thanks, grateful for the warm respite from the chill that was steadily increasing. I put my arms into the sleeves and was wrapping the jacket tighter around me when we heard Josh call out to us.
"Hey, guys. Come here, for a sec." His voice sounded casual but I heard something hidden behind it almost as if the casual tone was forced. Miroku must have heard it too because he tensed involuntarily. We looked at each other and walked quickly into the alleyway. As soon as we entered, we had to pause for a moment to allow our eyes to adjust to the darkness. As soon as we could see properly, we took a few steps further but couldn't see him.
"Josh, where are you?" Miroku called out his usually calm tone hiding something that I couldn't discern. Was it fear? We waited for a few moments but no reply came. "Come on, Josh, this isn't funny." I called, a note of fear creeping into my voice. Miroku gripped my arm and whispered in my ear "Don't show that you're scared. You never know who's out there." I nodded silently.
"You're right, babe, it isn't funny." said a deep male voice from the shadows. I jumped slightly in surprise. Miroku grabbed my arm and moved me behind him.
"Who the fuck are you and where's Josh?" Miroku asked tersely. His grip on my arm involuntarily tightened. I placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder despite my own fears of who the owner of the voice might be.
So, who do you think the owner of the voice is? Candy and mad props to the person who guesses it. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated. Until then R&R =D Ja ne
