I don't know if this qualifies for a crossover. So ya, it's just phantom of the opera retold using bleach characters. Yay! RenjixRukixByakuya. Some details might not be exact, because I'm too lazy to rewatch the movie, so please forgive me.
I know Byakuya is technically Rukia's brother in law, but he really fits the character. Please don't flame me.
It was 1919 in Paris, France. A car pulled up at the side of the deteriated remanents of the Paris Opera House. Hanatarou and Kiyone helped the elderly Renji Abarai out of the car. He looked up at the opera house with empty eyes. Hanatarou could not tell what he was thinking. Kiyone silently pushed him up the ramp towards the entrance of the opera house. Once they entered, they all saw a man standing at the podium, auctioning off goods from the opera house.
"Done!" Aizen said.
A portrait of La Carlotta was handed to a middle aged man. Renji looked over. Standing beside the man was another lady. Renji was shocked. His lover's friend, Orihime, stood there, in a black dress and hat, clutching a small purse. Orhime connected with Renji's gaze. Then, she looked away to see the next item.
"This, was found in the catacombs of the opera house. A small musical box in the shape of a monkey. Still in working order." Aizen motioned for his assistant to turn the knob. A light melody played from the box. Renji closed his eyes. He raised his hand.
"20 francs, we have from Abarai-sama. Any other bids?" Aizen asked.
Orihime raised her hand.
"That's 25 francs from Inoue-sama. Is that all?" Aizen said again.
Renji rose his hand once more.
"30 francs. Would you like to?" Aizen asked Orihime. She exchanged a glance with Renji. Then, she shook her head.
"That's 30 francs, sold to Abarai-sama." Aizen handed the box to Renji.
Renji took it and fought back small tears that had formed in his sparkling eyes. Aizen headed back to the podium.
"Lot 666 then, ladies and gentlemen: a chandelier, in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera, a mystery never fully explained. Our workshops have repaired it and wired parts for the new electric lights. Perhaps we can frighten the ghosts of so many years ago... with a little illumination."
Aizen motioned to the others to lift a heavy leather blanket. As they did, Renji was reminded of all the memories he had experienced.
All of the events that had occurred.
The lighting of the chandlier also brought one name to his mind.
Rukia.
And another.
Byakuya
Sorry for the really short chapter. Please R&R!
