The New Master of the Clow
By: Mia Hindo
Disclaimer: I don't and most likely never will own Card Captor Sakura or the songs from The Phantom of the Opera the sing.
"Mrs. Kay." I said up the stairs. "I'm going to practice while everyone is gone. You can bring Baby Sakura and Xiao-Lee down if you want."
"Alright Lily." She yelled down from the nursery.
I walked in to the open ball room which had the piano. I pulled out my music and sat down. I start to sing and play along. I was practicing for The Phantom of the Opera which I played Meg and was Christine's understudy. I sang both part for now.
MEG
Where in the world
have you been hiding?
Really, you were
perfect!
I only wish
I knew your secret!
Who is this new
tutor?
CHRISTINE (abstracted, entering the dressing room)
Father once spoke
of an angel . . .
I used to dream he'd
appear . . .
Now as I sing,
I can sense him . . .
And I know
he's here . . .
(trance-like)
Here in this room
he calls me softly . . .
somewhere inside . . .
hiding . . .
Somehow I know
he's always with me . . .
he - the unseen
genius . . .
MEG (uneasily)
Christine, you must have
been dreaming . . .
stories like this can't
come true . . .
Christine, you're talking
in riddles . . .
and it's not
like you . . .
CHRISTINE (not hearing her, ecstatic)
Angel of Music!
Guide
and guardian!
Grant to me your
glory!
MEG (to herself)
Who is this angel?
This . . .
BOTH
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange
angel . . .
I heard someone behind me. I turn around and Lady Sakura's oldest son who was my age was there. I stood up quickly and bowed.
"I'm sorry Master Kung-Lee. I was told no one but the nursemaid and I were home so I ask if I could practice…" I looked down.
"That's fine." He said looking at me. "I came down because I want to find out who was sing because I like there voice."
I blushed "Thank you."
"Now are you going to finish?"
"Oh you don't mind?"
"No I liked it."
My face grew redder my eyes where still looking at my feet. "I can sing better at a different song but I only play Meg so I'm not as good as Meiko Keno who plays Christine."
"Oh you must be the maid who sings in the theater."
I nodded. "The song I am good at needs a partner…. Can you sing?"
A light blush crossed his face. I relaxed a little seeing this.
"You don't have to."
"I will I think it would be cool."
I took the music and handed it to him. "Where it says Raoul you sing. That means you start."
"Don't you need this?"
"No I have practice for so long I do any more. Ready?"
He nodded.
I started to play. ((AN: For those of you who have never heard the son I'm going to put it here just for you! Aren't you special! ))
RAOUL((Kung-Lee))
No more talk
of darkness,
forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry -your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .
CHRISTINE((Lily))
Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me
with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
RAOUL((Kung-Lee))
Let me be
your shelter,
let me
be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
your fears are
far behind you . . .
CHRISTINE ((Lily))
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
and you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .
RAOUL((Kung-Lee))
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Christine,
that's all I ask
of you . . .
CHRISTINE((Lily))
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
BOTH((Kung-Lee and Lily))
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .
CHRISTINE((Lily))
Say you love me . . .
RAOUL((Kung-Lee))
You know I do . . .
BOTH((Kung-Lee and Lily))
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . .
(CHRISTINE((Lily)) starts from her reverie)
CHRISTINE((Lily))
I must go -
they'll wonder where I am . . .
waiting for me, Raoul!
RAOUL((Kung-Lee))
Christine, I love you!
CHRISTINE ((Lily))
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!
RAOUL ((Kung-Lee))
And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE ((Lily))
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
I finished and blushed deeply. 'I just sang with Kung-Lee…' I thought to myself. That's every maid in the houses dream is for Kung-Lee to notice them.
I heard clapping from behind us. I turn around to see Lady Sakura.
"Oh Lady Sakura," I sweep in to a deep curtsy.
"Wonderful. You both make a wonderful team."
I rose from my curtsy and blushed. Not making eye contact with her I said.
"You flatter me Lady Sakura but I am not where near a wonderful singer as the ones I sing with."
"Ah, you are the child that sings with Meiko Keno and is her understudy."
I nodded. "Yes I am miss."
"We are going to see the play tonight. You are going to be sing are you not?"
"Only as a chorus girl unless something happens to Ms. Meiko."
"Well I hope you do wonderfully tonight. Come Kung-Lee you have to get ready."
"Good day Master Kung-Lee, Lady Sakura. I will see you both tonight."
I smiled and curtsied deeply as they left the room.
Did you guys like this first chapter? I hope you did. The next one isn't going to be as long as this one. I hope you all like the next one also. Tell me if you do so I'll write more to it. If you don't like it I won't write more.
