Ch. 8

A/N I know its been sense Christmas sense I updated so here it is.

After the hanging of Naraku Kagome runs into Sesshomaru and begins to drag him to the roof.

SESSHOMARU
Why have you brought me here?

KAGOME
Can't go back there!

SESSHOMARU
We must return!

KAGOME
He'll kill you!
His eyes will find us there!

SESSHOMARU
Kagome, don't say that.

KAGOME
Those eyes that burn!

SESSHOMARU
Don't even think it

KAGOME
And if he has to kill a thousand men

SESSHOMARU
Forget this waking nightmare...

KAGOME
The Phantom of the Opera will kill...

SESSHOMARU
This phantom is a fable
Believe me

KAGOME
...and kill again!

SESSHOMARU
There is no Phantom of the Opera

BOTH
My God, who is this man...

KAGOME
...who hunts to kill?

SESSHOMARU
...this mask of death?

KAGOME
I can't escape from him...

SESSHOMARU
Whose is this voice you hear...

KAGOME
...I never will!

SESSHOMARU
...with every breath?

BOTH
And in this labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera is here/there
inside my/your mind...

SESSHOMARU
There is no Phantom of the Opera...

KAGOME
Sesshomaru, I've been there
to his world of unending night
To a world with the daylight dissolves into darkness...
darkness...
Sesshomaru, I've seen him!
Can I ever forget that sight?
Can I ever escape from that face?
So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face
in that darkness...
darkness...
But his voice filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound...
In that night there was music in my mind...
And through music my soul began to soar!
And I heard as I'd never heard before...

SESSHOMARU
What you heard was a dream and nothing more...

Kagome
Yet in his eyes
all the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes,
that both threaten and adore

SESSHOMARU

Kagome...
Kagome...

PHANTOM
Kagome….

Kagome
(whisper) What was that?

Kagome turned to look for the source of the voice feeling scared but Sesshomaru just walked up to her annoyed that she wasn't looking at him.

SESSHOMARU

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...

KAGOME
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

SESSHOMARU
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...

KAGOME
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night
and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me...

SESSHOMARU
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...

KAGOME
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning...
Say you love me...

SESSHOMARU
You know I do...

BOTH
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...

The two began to leave Kagome unaware of Sesshomaru grinning at the thought that finally all of this will be over and the girl will be his. However they were unaware of the lone figure cloaked in black with a look of rage and sadness in his eyes. However the anger was not directed at Kagome but at Sesshomaru.

A/N So how was it? Please review
