So please Enjoy!!
The book may as well have been the devil, the way Ichigo was glaring at it. English had always been her least favorite subject. She was not a business woman and never planned on being one, so what was the point to learning it? And, much less, read an entire novel in it! It made no sense to the poor cat girl. She came to the conclusion that her teacher must hate her; want to waste her precious time that she could be spending with Masaya!
But, on the other hand, she reasoned, it was worth a rather large percentage of her grade, so it must be done. With a disgusted scowl on her face, she picked up the book and took a long scrutinizing look at the cover.
The binding of the book was a simple black leather with the plain gold words in the center that read "The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux". She groaned out loud. Opera. She thought dejectedly in her head. The senpai really must hate me.
Sighing she flipped open to the first page and began to read…
"The Opera Ghost really existed…"
From that sentence on, Ichigo became entranced in the book. She felt herself being ravlled into the story of Christine Daae, the opera singer. She clapped her hands in joy when Christine found love with the handsome Viscount, and shrieked in horror when she was kidnapped by the Phantom. Her head reeled with all the emotions emitted from the page. And then she read…
"'I am going to die… of love… Daroga… I am dying of love… That is how it is… I loved her so!... Listen, Daroga… listen to this!.. while I was at her feet… I heard her say, 'Poor, unhappy Erik!'… I had become no more than a poor dog ready to die for her…'"
Tears started flowing down Ichigo's face. Poor, unhappy Erik! She cried in her head. The pitty she felt for the ugly Opera Ghost radiated in her gut. Unable to read anymore that night she set the book on her nightstand and fell down on the pillows and let the tears lull her to sleep.
Meanwhile, Kisshu sat on the tree outside. After he was sure she was asleep, he flew in through her window. He silently crossed the room, gracefully dodging any noise making obstacle. He picked up the book from the nightstand and curiously flipped to the page where his Kitty-cat had started to cry. When he finished the passage, He sighed and looked down at the sleeping girl.
"Silly, Ichigo, when will you understand that I am your Erik?"
Review? Please??
