Inuyasha crossover Phantom of the Opera
Chapter 8: Unpredictable
When had his eyes, mind and heart start to wander, at first it was his anger, and then it blossomed into something else amidst the darkness, brighter than he had known. Often he would wonder what it was like to touch her skin, will it be smooth as silk, or if her lips will be soft like the petal of a rose. He could remember how she would undress herself so sensually, as though knowing that he was watching her and she was putting up a show just for him. And when she would pull the silk stockings on, he could not help but feel his mouth go dry and a sudden hunger.
In every way, she made him so frustrated, even more so than with Christine or the Theatre and the people in it. Kagome was more than enough and she was too much of a handful to handle, a person that most men would want to tame, and more than so pursue, but she chose him. For now at least he thought, for once worried as thoughts of her possibly leaving him like Christine DaaƩ starts to bring forth a sense of dread. And should she be done with hearing his story, she would most probably leave him just like that and never to return, and he would be alone again in the world of darkness. His heart clenched at the thought of it, just like when he witnessed Christine and the Vicomte confessing to one another that night on the roof of the theatre.
How was he to keep her with him, if what he had been doing for Christine never worked, and ended with him having to force her to remain with him over the life of the Vicomte. With Kagome everything is unpredictable and difficult, who was he to hold a girl like her back when she could have her pick of just about any men that wanted her. She is like the flower that blooms in the dessert and he the scum of the earth one which people look down upon and stepped on.
Kagome as always was more than curious of how he looked like beneath the mask. She had a few ideas and an imagination of her own, but then it was hard for her to be too sure. Erik himself is a very charismatic person, and one that she found most alluring as compared to the other men that she comes across in this time and age. She had secrets of her own in which she was did not dare tell anyone, especially when they are human, and she was no longer like them. Stripped of the fragility of human life, she was above them, a proud youkai, a danger to them should she chose it.
"Erik," she whispered his name, letting his name roll off her tongue as she played with it.
"I believe Madame, that the name will grow old if you call too often," he said, coming forth from the shadows, startling her for the first time as he took in the expression of surprise on her face.
"E-Erik, I was just remembering you," Kagome covered smoothly as she took a sip of tea from the fine china set that she had just purchased.
It was enjoyable to watch something apart from her usual expressions let slip as he took a sit near her. With Kagome, he was unsure of everything, of himself even, but with that little change in her just now, he felt a little more confident, much more bolder than he usually did with her.
"Remembering only?" he whispered looking at her intently, she made a sound of confirmation as she reached out to pick up a biscuit to bite into, not quite meeting his eyes and avoiding him for the time being.
The urge to reach out and touch her skin was strong, just as it was to have her face him and look into his eyes. And even more so, he wondered on the various other expressions that he has yet to see from her, something that he was most curious about. Her dressing was different today, almost like that of a robe meant for lounging, only with more intricate patterns on it with the front open enough to see the length of her length as the fabric end pool around her ankle. It was something that he had not seen before, perhaps from where she comes from. The silken material luxurious and expensive looking with its own unique set of prints that he had never seen before roused his curiosity.
"Quit watching me so intently," Kagome told him annoyed and affected by it obviously which brought a smile to tug at the side of his lip.
"Why? Does it affect you much?" he questioned, leaning in towards her as he somehow managed to close the gap between them, and for the first time was close to her more than he usually will.
Their eyes met for a moment, it was as though they both held their breath, before Kagome closed her eyes and sighed silently, "Yes, I'm worried that your eyes might just pop out of it's socket," she rebuffed back as though unaffected by his sudden closeness.
Erik snorted, not at all expecting that as answer, but it was after all Kagome and he should be used to the unexpected from her. He studied her for a moment as she still had her head turned to the side, the sudden boldness came back to him again as he raised a hand to her face, tracing the contours of it with the aid of the shadow casted by the fire in the fire place. Her head turned as her eyes opened to look into his, the tensed silence between them was almost unbearable and the next thing that he knew, he was kissing her on the lips and relished the moment of it. Kagome was most thorough when their tongue met and she was never one to let another down in the fight for dominance and exploration of her partner's mouth.
It was always a constant curiosity of hers, the need to know how good he was and how he tasted like. And when he was that close to her, she could not help but feel excited about it, and if she had looked at him any longer, she feared that he might see the desire in her eyes and mistake it for something else. Humans can be so dense at times, especially when one is almost a hermit as the one before her. Though with the way that he returns her passion, it made her wonder from where did he learn it.
Again, when with a woman like Kagome, one does not know exactly what to expect. And exotic as she comes, she is just as unpredictable and bold.
