The Phantom of the Opera: Naruto Style

By: Unknownred

A/N: I just love the Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera! So I thought maybe I could try writing a version, Naruto Style. I do NOT own Naruto or its characters.

~ I was thinking either making the writing style sound more British in a sorta Harry Potter type of way.

~ But then again, I'll probably switch on and off on the character's P.O.V.

~ I have the lack of time on doing details, but if I have to dream of being an author or novelist, I'll have to do just that.

~ There are no promises on how long I'll update each Chapter. I reassure you, I like lots of chapters, so I'll probably make the chapters go 20+.

~ I know viewers/readers love reading long pages. I could probably make each chapter 5 pages.

~ And I hope I do the story right, plz read and enjoy. Gimme Feedback!

~ P.S. ~ I do NOT mind you telling me about spelling errors, or grammar, or asking me questions. I don't take offenses, opinions, badly. I just simply keep doing what I'm good at. So, regardless, let the story begin.

Chapter One ~

Prologue

It's here.

Seeing the white frost, making its way towards the other white forms that stick onto the foggy window across from the girls beds.

It's so beautiful, I can't imagine what it might look like outside. The thought running through one of the girl's mind known as Hinata Hyuuga. She had pale skin, her black hair shimmering around her shoulders made it seem blue. Her eyes matched her faint skin.

"Shall we get to go outside and see?" asks a persistent girl, TenTen Tenson also known as Tenny, was sitting across from Hinata on her clean and folded bed. She wore a long nightgown, her long brown wavy hair sat over her shoulders, as she brushed through it with her hand. Her brown eyes glanced at Hinata.

"Ha! Who would want to? It sure is freezing." shivers a blond hair chick, her blue eyes rolling to the side, her lips puckered into a pout. She was called Ino Yamanaka also known as the drama queen. She also sat on the end of Tenten's bed, listening.

"Says you. I think it's cool and just as white as Hinata's pale skin." TenTen stuck her tongue out at Ino, "Member how we first thought Hinata was a ghost child! That was hysterical!"

Hinata bit her lip from a giggle that seems to escape.

"Ah yes, and everyone who heard thought she was The Phantom's child." Ino rolled over onto her stomach, "Too bad it isn't true."

"What isn't true?" Hinata asked, clearly hadn't heard what Ino said.

"About Thee Phantom, young lad!" Ino held her hand to her face and threw her head back, dramatically.

TenTen and Hinata looked at each other before bursting into soft giggles; TenTen, in mind added, "Oh, Ino, you're so full of yourself!"

"Am I? Then let it be known, to those who haven't heard, yet the least— I am the only queen who has yet to challenge herself into getting into broad way." Ino lay back onto the railings that blocked the end of the bed.

"You mean, drama queen." TenTen stifled a snicker.

"And what is that supposed to mean, Tenny?" Ino portrayed her delinquent tone.

"Oh nothing, nothing." TenTen held in a smile that ruefully made her look suspicious.

Hinata shook her head, and continue to look outside the window, "Oh… I sure do want to know how it looks outside."

"Well, Hinata, we could probably try—" TenTen started but then Ino gasped and interrupted her.

"Clearly you're not saying, we must go out into the frigid weather and freeze to death all because of snow?" Ino's lips parted, her eyes searching the eyes from TenTen to Hinata.

"No…" TenTen finally said. "I simply referred to Hinata and me because you simply denied the fact that even if a little snow had touched you; you'd go on a clearly different route of drama."

Ino's mouth fell, "Surely, you don't mean that. I can handle such little things."

"I'm sure." TenTen answered back; she began to braid her hair and twist it, and twist it.

"No matter how much we want to," Hinata finally said, sighing, "We can not. Madame Tsunade wouldn't let us. She is so strict and besides, we are the lead dancers. We wouldn't want to damage our purely fine legs of art."

TenTen sighed, "You're right. Ohh, but I do wish we could."

Ino glanced down at her hands, feeling down and yet not satisfied that her friends couldn't be happier when Christmas is almost here. A thought then blemished her mind and she gasped.

"Oh, sad faces, sad faces! Turn those frowns up, I have good news." Ino started jumping up and down on the bed she sat on.

"What is it? What is it?" TenTen and Hinata's faces turned bright and cheery, their eyes darting at Ino.

"Oh but surely, you wouldn't want to hear it…?" Ino spoke, making her statement sound more of a question than she intended it to.

Hinata hopped from the window seat and crossed over to Ino, embracing her with her long arms, hoping that Ino would somehow talk and tell them of her great news.

"Okay, okay, hush up now." Ino finally gave in, "I heard, we're having a new girl here! Isn't that fantastic? Oh and the owner of the Opera House is selling the house to one of the richest men in Sand!"

"No way!" TenTen squealed then gasp, clasping her hand over her mouth, "How'd you find such information?"

"I do have my connections." Ino examined her nails.

"A new girl; oh wow, we haven't had one since two years before, 'member Suko, the young girl who lost her parents in a carriage crash. Poor girl had to be transferred here, hoping she could do something with her life." Hinata scratched her arm, and then she nodded her head sadly.

"Oh yes, tragic, wasn't it?" Ino and TenTen nodded sadly, and then Ino chirped up afterwards a moment of silence, "No worries then! We could show the new girl around!"

"What a grand idea you have thought Ino!" Hinata smiled, showing her neat, pearl rows of teeth, "I wonder what she'll be like."

"I think we'll find out when the time comes. I heard she's coming today, but I'm not sure when." Ino patted Hinata's arm that was still wrapped around her shoulders.

"Oh well, when the time comes, we'll show her around." TenTen said quickly, "Now about Sand owning the Opera House?"

"I know not much of it; rumors had fled from one ear and out the other." Ino lifted her hands high, frustrated that she couldn't find out the right information.

"Rats, would have made a fine start!" TenTen snapped her fingers, and furrowed her brows in disappointment.

"Oh, shush up. When the time comes, we'll know—" Ino said before stopping.

A faint scream, outside, keen to the three girls ears, then got up and walked around quietly, trying to figure out whose voice was it.

"Maybe it's one of Karin's minions, trying to wise up her voice for the next show?" TenTen whispered.

"No, no, I think it sounded different." Hinata cast a glance at the window she was sitting on earlier.

Hinata found herself walking towards the window and peering out.

"I wonder who it is—" Ino and TenTen mumbled under their breaths.

At the sound Hinata's mouth gaping, a gasp intrigued them to walk over also, and look out from beyond the window. A figure below with flailing legs was kicking and thrashing, outside the well that the girls use to drink from in the summer when the heat kicked in.

"Oh my! That person needs help!" Hinata jumped back from the window.

TenTen reached for her robe and put it on, while Hinata did the same and ran towards the door that exited the girls' dormitory.

Ino didn't have to question for she was the first one out the door, and ran downstairs, not caring if the mistress or Madame Tsunade heard. They ran and passed the maze halls that led to their classes; they passed some girls on the way, even running pass a teacher who yelled after them to stop, chasing after them, the girls split up and ran different directions to lose the teacher.

Finally, outside, the girls met up at the back.

"Oh my! It's as you said, Tenny. Whiter than my own pale skin!" Hinata gaped at the beauty of the snow covering every inch of the yard and trees and just about everything.

"Yes, good to hear. But we're on a mission, Hinata!"

"Oh right!" she snapped out from her daze and they ran towards the side where the well was held and ran towards the person who was trying not to fall all the way in. They found it was a girl, with pink locks covering her face.

"Help!" screamed the girl, "Help! Someone!"

"Hee Ho, we got you." Ino let out a huff breath, the three girls ran all the way from their dormitory upstairs near the attic at the top of the house then downstairs all the way outside.

They helped the girl out, pulling her legs, and Hinata reaching over to grab the girl's waist; Ino reaching for the girl's hands, pulling her out. When they were all safe and sound, the girls helped the girl, leading her back towards the house.

"Why are you out here alone, with no body assisting you?" Hinata asked.

"I was sent here." She said, before nodding at the three girls, "Thank you for saving me from a tragic fall."

"What were you doing at the well in the first place?" Ino asked, patting the girl's hand.

"I had walked a long way to get here, and needed a place to rest a bit before going in. So, I sat at the nearest spot I could find, and I found the well. I then was about to get up when the stone that held the well formerly, stumbled out of place and I fell in. I had enough reaction to grab onto the side walls and keep my weight above me. And that's when I began to scream for help." She explained, "But no one came for the last half hour."

"The last half hour?" gasped the three girls.

TenTen looked at Ino as Ino looked Hinata, and Hinata looked at the girl before speaking, "But we only started to hear your voice ten minutes before we came to rescue you."

"Oh." She said, clearly brushing her hair from her eyes, "I wasn't so sure I was screaming that loud."

"No worries." TenTen said, as they passed a gnome on the way up the steps to the house. As they entered, teachers were roaming the place, hoping to find the three girls who were running in the halls.

When Ino coughed, the teachers froze to their spots and turned towards the four girls. It was a like a antelope rampage, pulling each girl aside from each other, huddling over them like a hen protecting her chicks, asking them questions as if they were alright from the cold weather, do they feel fine and told them to be cautious!

"I'm fine! It's just—" TenTen waved her hand at the teachers that were bustling around, handing her a warm towel to dry in.

"No. N-no, no, i-it's alright. W-we just—" Hinata spoke, stuttering at all the flushed face teachers who kept babbling on about how children shouldn't go out without permission and also how much caution they need to be safe.

Ino dramatically didn't mind, now that she had her attention. She was getting fed up and looked over the heads of the teachers and busied herself into finding the girl. When she spotted the girl standing in a corner near the stairwell, she excused herself loudly for all the noise to die down.

"Please listen to me!" She said. "Look now, you had frightened our guest. We found her lost outside and came out to help her. There is no excuse for you madams to treat us, we are perfectly fine!"

Hinata pushed her way towards the girl, and held out her hand which the girl took; she then whispered into the girl's ear, "Follow me, I'll bring you to Madam Tsunade."

"Madam Tsunade is the high principal here?" she asked.

Hinata didn't get to say much due to the fact that room was hushed; a booming voice was clear on that part. All eyes to the floor, Madam Tsunade had made herself known to fear.

"Madam Tsun—" Hinata was about to say when Madam Tsunade looked behind her.

"What is the meaning of this? Where have you girls been? Missing out of practice for the show, lacking respect in the halls and— and who do we have here?" She walked gracefully towards the two girls.

"Madam Tsunade, I came on the behalf of my late father's arrival. He had sent me here to remind you of a wage he made with you in the late January." The girl bowed her head, curtsying.

"And who may I ask your name?" Madam Tsunade, tip her chin down, examining the girl.

The girl swiftly drew her bangs to the side, brushing her hair behind her ear before answering, "My name is Lady Sakura Haruno. I am the next heir to enthroning his title in thee Opera House."

Ino gasped, her eyes widened, she thought, 'The rich man from Sand, I wasn't expecting it to be a girl!'
