Inuyasha crossover Phantom of the Opera

Chapter 10: Men!

Erik had left her that night almost immediately after what had happened, it was already apparent that she was not going to talk to him at least until she loses her temper. Women, they are different, not like a male who are much easier to understand. The women of France were a lot easier to comprehend, but she, she was so much more different, and difficult.

He growled, stalking through his current place of living, hands slamming down on the keyboard of his acquired musical instrument. It started a while back, when he got the urge to write music again, and all thanks to the only person that was able to make him this frustrated in both the best and worse manner at the same time. The keyboard created a loud blaring sound of the notes, breaking the silence. It hurts his head, and on top of the growing headache that was slowly forming whenever he remembered that infuriatingly frustrating night when Kagome seem to have a sudden change in attitude from her usually behavior. She must be loosing patience with him, but he felt on various occasion that Kagome was more than well able to snatch the mask off his face and he would never be able to do anything about it.

However, that night she did nothing about him, aside from throwing the tantrum that most women are known to be infamous for. Why was he even trying so hard to please her, even to get into her good books? What was even more frustrating was how easily she gets under his skin, and without much of an effort whilst he was constantly fighting countless of war within and with himself.

Kagome, an exotic name for an equally exotic female who left nothing but many memories and wilder imaginations to his mind that it made it fairly difficult for him to sleep at night. And it was all fueled even more when they shared their first kiss, it was fiery, and ignited emotions and passions that Erik had thought he was incapable of ever finding again since Christine left him. Now with this new exotic, jewel of the East, she had brought various things into her light, and it scares him at times.

"Kagome," He whispered in the shadows of her room, watching her sleep as he took slow quiet steps towards where she lay upon the large bed.

Her face was the perfect expression of peaceful serenity, one that brought peace even to him by merely watching her rest, like those days when he would watch over Christine the one person who he had ever wanted in his life. The feelings that Erik felt now were similar, only far more complex, and something that he was more fearful of after what had happened to him.

Once bitten twice shy, something that he lives by even from the beginning until Madame Giry found him, but still lived beneath the city where he stayed within the shadows and never strayed from it.

Kagome opened her eyes to look at his, as it twinkled brightly in the darkness of the room like diamonds catching the faintest hint of light. What he did next was so spontaneous that it surprised her for a moment as his lips came crashing down on her in raw passion. It was possessive, and so raw, a little filled with anger, but that itself was a turn on factor for her. Something that she least expected, especially coming from a person like him. It was always her who initiated anything and it took him just about forever to do something about, but now at least there was progress, Erik was finally being somewhat spontaneous.

"Apologies," he mumbled breaking away, eyes wide as he stepped back slowly as though in disbelieve. And then was suddenly gone just as she called out his name.

"That frustrating man," Kagome growled out in annoyance, half glaring in the direction where Erik had disappeared.

It was definitely a breakthrough from what had just happened, but when he stopped so abruptly as his actions, it leaves her frustrated at his actions. Whether he was playing her the fool or not, Kagome hated the treatment, so indecisive and more often than anything, frustrating as well. Usually it would be her finding Erik, but for him to come to her without any prompts or to some form of threats, was really progress, and because of that progress, she grew somewhat more impatient about it than what she had originally portrayed. It was perhaps one of the other traits in her that seldom showed much, but she was still very much a girl and one that comes from the future where there are not many men as infuriating as Erik

She huffed in annoyance before turning almost angrily in bed as she tried to force herself back into sleep. By the time that Kagome tried to fall back asleep, her maid came in to wake her up with the other staff bringing in fresh water to wash her fast and a tray of breakfast along with the morning's newspaper. She glowered at her household staffs who went about quickly trying to not make a mistake. It was all Erik's fault, had it not been for him, she would have been just fine falling asleep maybe a little mad, but still able to sleep at least.

By the time her maid was worriedly styling her hair to the latest mode, Kagome's frustration was more or less gone, as it became more of a simmering frustration that she had to hide it before heading out to the garden party of one of the ladies that had invited her to. It was times like these that such a gathering would sometimes bring to her a form of distress, but not as much as when she was in fighting form, it gave her not just the relief, but also the adrenaline. One that she could get addicted to, but that was the darker side of her that was whispering to her of all the deeds of it like a lover's caress.

As she wandered amongst the ladies that were speaking behind polite smiles and lying eyes, Kagome was more than often under the scrutiny of the ladies gathered there. As she wandered further into the garden where there were others walking in smaller groups, talking and gossiping in low tones that was meant for their cliques. There in the shadow, though it was very unnoticeable, her eyes caught the familiar mask of the said person that had deprived her of her sleep as she looked past him as though not seeing him there, and continue on her walk. Kagome was sure that he will follow her and lead him on in her 'exploration' of the place deep into the garden's maze where she disappeared through the high shrub walls that was carefully trimmed and maintained.

Erik followed, not wanting to lose her, but it was too late as he navigated himself by mere instinct in the maze in hope to catch sight of her before she did him.

I know right! He's so sad, I don't even know if pity and sympathy is the right word at times to describe how I should feel about the position that he is in and his feelings when in it. Enjoy the new chapter!

I'm sorry if it was that short for each of my chapter, I'm always afraid that if I drag on too much the chapter, it will be boring or lose it's purpose into a nagging like writing. Thank you, I'm glad to see that you enjoy the style of writing, I'm still trying to better it, though I guess I'm a slow progress writer type. Well, enjoy the chapter update!

Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed this fan fiction. Though I'm not too sure if this is could really be categorized as psychological ^^;;. I've been trying to minimize on my grammar and vocabulary issue, but I guess I'm still not that good, will be trying to be better in it though, hope that it is not distracting you from reading much. Hope that you enjoy the new chapter.

To Deathstarling556
I'm really glad that you are enjoying the fan fiction. I guess there really aren't many that are that keen to do a writing for these crossover types yet, but hopefully it will grow soon enough, guess we would all just need to be more patient. I hope that you enjoy this new chapter.

To chicaalterego
I'm really glad to see that you are enjoying the fan fiction thus far, you are right though, there were not many that know about this fan fiction crossover, which was one of my disappointment when I was hoping to read one back then. Somehow I've ended up writing one myself instead of waiting for one. Hahaha guess interests stirs creativity at times as well, though I do hope that the direction in which I take it will not be that badly received. I hope that you enjoy this new update as well. =]
