[A/N] : I know this story seems a little slow but I promise things will
pick up soon. I noticed while re-reading my story that Miroku is actung
a little more like Inu-Yasha than himself, so please don't flame me but
I think that having a loved one in danger kinda brings out the
Inu-Yasha in all of us.
Disclaimer: 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" where the evil guy is wearing the mask and gets shot. an excellent movie in my opinion) Anyway, on with the fic.
Where we left off: "I watched the Ice Puppet kill two of my best friends. That's how I know." Miroku replied his voice laced with anger.
"But Josh couldn't be him, could he?" I asked
Chapter 3: Secrets revealed
I turned to Josh. "You said you'd have nothing to do with the Bloods and the Crips. Are they telling the truth?" Josh looked down at the ground. I sucked in my breath. "You are, aren't you." Josh didn't say anything. "Oh my god, Josh. How could you lie to us like that? We're your friends. Why did you keep it from us? You could have told us you were the Ice Puppet. We would have understood." Josh's eyes flew up and he glared at me.
"No! You'd never understand!" he yelled then quieted his vioce down. "I'm not the Ice Puppet but I can't deny that I am a Crip. I was forced into helping him kill those two Bloods because he knew my secret and blackmailed me with it. If I didn't help him, he would have told my secret and that would have meant death or worse." He looked at Miroku and his eyes softened. "I'm sorry, 'Roku. I couldn't tell you because I was afraid I'd lose you. I knew how much you hated the Ice Puppet so I couldn't tell you. I saw you at the fight and I watched the pain show on your face as you saw them fall. I...I was afaid that if you knew, you'd dump me and never speak to me again." Suddenly a look of shock came over his face. He had just blurted out his "secret" in front of a bunch of Bloods. A disgusted look came over Naraku's face.
"Oh my fucking God! You're a mother fucking queer!" he said in total disbelief. "I should just kill you now. You and your pansy boyfriend and do the world a big favour." He tightened the knife against Josh's throat which caused some more blood to trickle out. Miroku uttered a low, dangerous growl.
"You kill him and I'll tear you apart limb from limb." he said flexing his hands. Naraku gave a short laugh.
"Kuku, watcha gonna do pansy boy, bitch slap me?" The gang members laughed. Miroku clenhed his hands and I put a hand on his back as a silent warning to calm down and reminding him that it's them, not us, who hold Josh's life in their hands. Miroku didn't move and Naraku snickered. "Guess pansy boy is to much of a girl to fight." he said to the others and they snickered. "I'm getting tired of all this talk. Let's just kill the queers and get it over with."
"Wait!" I interrupted and stepped infront of Miroku. Naraku looked at me, clearly annoyed.
"There's nothing you can do to save them, babe." he said looking back at Josh. Miroku grabbed my arm and hissed ""What the hell do you think you're doing you baka onna?"
"Tyring to save you and Josh from the big, bad bogey man." I whispered over my shoulder while reffering to my earlier comment back on the sidewalk (A/N see ch.1 if you don't remember it.) then turned back to Naraku. "Why do you want to kill Josh?" He gave me a look that said 'Are you fucking stupid?!'. The gang members snickered. "Why the fuck would you ask a dumb question like that?" Naraku laughed "Isn't it obvious, bitch?" I knew what he was going to say but I wanted to hear it out of his own mouth. "I can kill two birds with one stone. If I kill him, there'll be one less Crip to deal with and one less queer to fuck up the world. That's a bonus for me."
"But if you kill him, you're only causing more problems for yourself because in addition to the cops, the Crips will be after your asses and that'll only lead to unneccessary bloodshed." I replied thinking fast for a way to save Josh and Miroku.
"Where the hell are you giong with this, bitch?" Naraku interrupted.
"I'm just saying that there's really no satisfaction in killing him. Sure, there's one less queer/Crip in the world but there's no reason for it." I continued
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Naraku interjected "I'll be satified after I kill him."
"Do you have a point to all this or are you just trying to delay the bastard's death." one of the gang members asked in a pissed off tone.
"Yes there is a point to all this." I said. I had finally found a way that I hoped would work. I took a deep breath. "Kill me, instead of Josh."
Hehe aren't I evil! Hope you liked my little cliffy. So what do you think their reactions will be? Will Naraku accept her offer or will her efforts be in vain? Find out soon. Till then, R&R! =D Ja ne!
