Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or its characters but I wish I did, but I do own Kagi and Rider, they are made up characters.

Summary: Kagome wasn't really a social girl, she was quiet and mostly hung out with her sister, cousin, and three close friends. But when she had strange dreams and she finally she meets a certain vampire that was in them at night who happened to save her life, things take a turn. InuXKag

Remember what I state below:

Italics and ' ' Means thinking! The person is talking to themselves, sounds a bit weird, neh? Example: 'Oh brother.' Kagome thought.

After he said that he vanished, Kagome sighed and leaned her back against the door Kagi was taken through. After a few moments the door opened and Kagome almost fell back until she got control of her feet. The seventeen year old walked out of the bedroom and noticed the grand hallway, she followed the sound of the violins, she thought that maybe his way of luring her to him. When she reached the ballroom, she that's when the violins stopped. Kagi wasn't there at all like she hoped but he was there, standing. He had a red cloak that looked like it was made of pure silk, his shirt was baggy yet thin as were his pants, his shoes looked like boots. Kagome began to question what vampire was he, why would he wear something like that? Don't vampires usually where tux and vests?

"So, you came after all." He said as the music began again. His silver hair swayed as he turned around towards her, he was wearing a white mask, it resembled the sad Opera mask that was always seen. His amber eyes were still seen and they often put her in a trance, she felt herself moving towards him as his hand was out for her to take. Kagome hesitantly took it and then their arms intertwining at shoulder level, it soon became the close-hold as they began the box rhythm as the violins played. The seventeen year old knew they both weren't in the best clothing for this occasion.

"Why are we dancing?" Kagome asked as she stared up at his mask, before looking into his amber pools.

He smiled under his mask, "Its another game that I've wanted to play, my dear. It was your favorite game." The arm around her waist gently pulled her away so she could twirl before he brought her back closer to him, and her arm back on his shoulder.

"Really? Why is that I ran away?" She asked, Kagome wanted to get to the bottom of this past she never knew about.

The vampire arched an eyebrow as she asked as they continued to waltz in the ballroom, "Hm. You'll remember soon enough, I can assure you that."

"What's your name?" Kagome asked as he grinned.

"InuYasha." He said in a calm voice before the violin picked up and their shoulder began the rise and fall motion, their upperbodies were pressed against each other as they spoke. Kagome then stopped dancing, InuYasha stopped along with her and her arms went back to her side. Slowly, she rose her hands to touch the mask, when she tried to pull it off, he grabbed her wrist. "No." He pulled her back into their dancing position, and soon a voice came to sing:

In sleep he sang to me,
In dreams he came.
That voice which calls to me,
And speaks my name.

Kagome looked up at InuYasha with an intense gaze, InuYasha stayed calm and smiled which was visible for her to see as his fangs were now peaking through.

And do I dream again?
For now I find,
The Phantom of the Opera is here,
Inside my mind

"Why can't I see your face?" Kagome asked as InuYasha frowned,

Sing once again with me,
Our strange duet.
My power over you,
Grows stronger yet.

"Because I said no, my dear." He whispered which only irritated her and sent chills down her spine.


And though you turn from me,
To glance behind.
The Phantom of the Opera is there,
Inside your mind.

Kagome frowned as then questioned him more, to irritate him from not letting her remove his mask, "Will I be afraid of what I might see? Is that why?"

Those who have seen your face,
Draw back in fear.
I am the mask you wear.

"It depends if you can handle what you see, its not like there is anything to hide. I'm just keeping myself a mystery." He chuckled.

It's me they hear.

"I hate you." She mumbled, InuYasha shook his head and click his tongue.

My/your spirit and my/your voice,
In one combined.
The Phantom of the Opera is here/there
Inside your/my mind

"Its not good to lie, my dear." InuYasha said playfully which only caused Kagome to scowl.

In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery

"You have such a bad temper, you need to fix that." He said in his normal tone that he usually spoke to her in.

Were both in you

"Your no one special, so it doesn't matter." Kagome hissed.

And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the opera is there/here
Inside your/my mind

"My dear, I'm the one who saved your life. I should be special in your eyes."InuYasha added as Kagome looked at him curiously.

Kagome removed herself from him, "Leave me alone!" She shouted and ran back tot he bedroom, InuYasha let out a small sigh as Kagi ran into the ballroom.

"Where's Kagome?!" She shouted as InuYasha glared at her.

He growled at her, "Don't speak to someone with higher status then you like that."

"She's my sister and I want to know!" Kagi tightened her fist ready to attack him until a hand landed on her shoulder, she looked up to the long silver haired man, her expression softened and she let out a small sigh. "Just let me go see her."


Well you know the deal, review and tune in for the next chapter! By the way, that festival is not real but Kyuuketsuki means Vampire in Japanese, and Shi means death.
