Inuyasha crossover Phantom of the Opera

Chapter 3: Exotic

For days she did not went to find out of his whereabouts, she needed to give him time to think, and more than often she found that if one were to be patient, one would be rewarded in the end. Patience sometimes however was not really a redeeming feature in which she has, in fact, if it were not for the sudden dinner in which she was invited to that Kagome was unable to find out more of the 'phantom' that had captured her attention.

It was ridiculous how she was the centre of attention just because of the color of her skin and the features on her face. There were many malicious things that had been circulating behind her back, such as her being a mistress to someone of wealth and position. Or that she was a slave and later bought and married to someone else. It was all ridiculous stories and untrue things about her that had been fabricated and let loose. The wagging tongues of the rich that had too much time and little or nothing else to do and talk about. Kagome kept her act of being pleasant thus far, not wanting to disgrace her country, even when she heard the males gathered together would whisper of her numerous unheard of 'techniques' in bed.

She had read in the future from where she came that people of the Ton and Society of status are nothing but a bunch of aristocrats and 'know-it-all' who create things to pass their time. And having experience it now, it was nothing but ill intentions on their part in making her feel unwelcome yet welcome. None of the people gathered there were genuine, they were like cannibals, preying on the weak and vulnerable to make a sport out of them. It was far worse than she had expected and her thinly veiled patience and good nature was slowly slipping each time the rumors that she heard was worse than the other.

By the time that she had excuse herself, Kagome noticed that she had made a few enemies and some rather rude 'friends'. It was no wonder why youkai kind were disgusted by human, not only because of their scent and stench, but also because of their behavior. Though she was of course formally one of them, then it made her wonder. There were many around her that were constantly living a lie and never speaking much of a truth too. And as time progresses, their behavior went from bad to worse, though there are of course those that are good but they are hard to come by as well.

It was disappointing, but the simple life was gone, and deceit will soon become a game where it takes over the human slowly and corrupts them. Though of course there are some good ones, that rare comes by, but she foresaw their reward in the near future should they not stray nor be naïve enough to fall for those that are more deceitful and tactical in their game. It was shocking to herself of how much she had change, from the time when she had first entered into Sengoku Jidai, and now here she in feeling the bumps of the street in her carriage, thinking of the past her. Change comes to everyone, just that she had not expected it to change her so much so that even she had started to question about what she had used to believe in and had wanted. Evidently with changes, it too lead her to become indecisive one more about what she had wanted, especially when granted such a long lifespan that it was almost an irony.

She had all the time in the world to figure things out for herself, and it was just the perfect opportunity for her to take the time to travel out and explore the world for herself. She had of course requested for Sesshoumaru and Shippo to join her, however both males were adamant in not leaving their country, land and territories open for just about any one and everyone to lay claim to it. She had warned them about the firearms and of the impending war that might come in hopes that they will avoid and survive through it. It was against the laws of nature to disrupt what was the happen, and had warn them strictly that they are to not interfere or they would all lose their future, most especially hers.

It worries Kagome still, but knows well that they took of what she had said strictly to themselves, and had bid her farewell at the port when she had left. It was a rare scene, especially to have Sesshoumaru make an appearance there out in the open where humans now dominate. Concealment spells were something that he hated, but because of her, he had made that effort to make an appearance and it touched her heart. She missed them dearly, and had wonder of their current well-being. Where she was, she is new to and exotic, almost like a form of an animal that had never made an appearance to the world until now.

And yet far away from the place where her journey had begin, she now found herself fascinated by another, the Phantom of the Opera that was supposedly dead. A man like any other humans that walk and live on the streets above, but is living beneath the city where many who have heard or seen him, now mention his name in quiet fear and scandal of what he had done to the Opera Populaire. These lot of humans scare easily over the slightest of thing, in a time when she had first began her journey they fear other things, those of status, and the youkai and hanyou that lives around them. These she understand the fear for, but with the elimination of these beings, forced into hiding and concealing of their identity, were all but forgotten. Times like those were unlike now, and it made things boring, and predictable to her.

Humans are the blame for a lot of things and to think that she was once like them, now she could not help but to think like that of a youkai.
