The Phantom of the Kabuki Theatre
By Mischievous Dragon
A/N: Hey all this is my messed up, random fanfic where Phantom of the Opera is mixed up with Fruits Basket. I changed a few things so this won't be following the movie or the book but rather my own version. Well anyway I hope you like I've been wanting to do this fic for the longest time but I couldn't decide on who should be what roles-I keep changing them, but I'm happy with what I have right now.

Prologue
It was the winter of Tokyo 1911. An auction was taking place at the old Kabuki Populaire and among the memorabilia being sold was a strange music box bearing the resemblance of a mechanical cat. An elderly man in his late fifthies was being pushed in a wheelchair by a young nurse named Machi. The man in the wheelchair is Yuki, Vicomte de Chagny. The object seems to hold for him a special memory as he places his bid.
A woman, about a decade older than the Vicomte proceeds to outbid him. Yuki turns he head in her direction and smiles at her, she nods her head in auctioneer speaks "Madame Kagura, yes? For 30,000 Yen. Do I have any higher bids?" Hiro spoke as his face circled the entire room. Yuki once again raised his hand "Aha 35,000 Yen do I have any higher bids?". Kaguira raised her hand and Hiro called out "40 000 yen! for a worthless cat-why would you even want to buy it?" he asked Kagura and Yuki but neither of them responded, but Yuki bid again. "Well here we have 45,000 Yen any more bids?" Hiro spoke circling again the crowd with his eyes. "Right then, well Monsieur le Vicomte you have won the cat."
The nurse got up to pay the bider and collect the mechanical cat. She then came back and handed it over to the Vicomte. Yuki stared at it with frozen eyes inside his mind he thought... A collector's piece indeed-every detail exactly as she said. She often spoke of you my friend, your velvet lining and your figuring of laid. Will you still play when the rest of us are dead?
Yuki began to turn the music handle for the cat, it played a song he had heard a long time ago-at a masquerade he had attended at this very same Kabuki Theatre. As he continued playing a letter popped up from inside it. Yuki grabbed the letter and looked at who it was adressed to: Madame Kagura. Madame Kagura was weeping, she was about to leave when Yuki stopped her, he got Machi to hurry and bring the letter over to the weeping Kagura.
Kagura took the ketter, read the address and when she recongnized the handwritting, she brought it up to hewr chest look at the ceiling at sighed. Yuki watched her reaction then heard Hiro's voice as he was about to announce the next item that was up for bid. It was something huge, both Kagura and Yuki knew what it was even with a sheet covering most of it.
Hiro began "Lot 666, then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Kabuki Theatre: a mystery never fully explained. We are told, ladies and gentlemen, that this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster. Our workshops have repairedit and wired partsof it for the new electric light, so that we may get a hint of what it may look when reassembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little illumination, gentlemen?"
As Hiro demonstrates the effect of it's new electrical wiring, we are suddenly swept back to the time of Yuki's youth, when the chandelier hung in splendor from the dome of the Kabuki theatre.
A/N: Well I hope you liked. This first chapter is short because it's the prologue but I promised you once I put the act's up it w ill be longer-but it will take me awhile to update. I want to see the movie again before I do the next chapter. I'm so mad at myself right now-I left my phantom of the Opera cd at my friend Abby's! My friend has been playing it-alot. Her little sister hates the PotO music. I want mine back! Oh well I have the Canadian tape from the musical version so I can survive offf of that...For a while.
