Phantom

Chichiri4488: This story is kind of based off of the Broadway- Phantom of the Opera. However there will be some huge differences in the storyline. You may notice these as you read on, whether this chapter or later. The beginning is probably the closest thing to the play. Everything else just goes with my idea/storyline. So don't expect anything to similar to the musical. No matter how good that play is. It's a dang good play! Yes I'm done rambling............

Chapter 2

Kagome sung and danced as the lead role on stage. The audience loved her, and the seats were full. So naturally, her employers loved her to.

"I love this girl!" yelled Manten.

"I love this money!" yelled Hiten. "She's leading from now on. I want her in every performance!"

"But brother, what if Kikyo comes back?" asked Manten.

"Then we pick whoever can sell more tickets," said Hiten. "It's as easy as that."

"Mr. Hiten?" asked Kaede.

"What is it woman?" asked Hiten as he swung around.

"There's a Mr. Kouga here to see you," said Kaede as she stepped aside. A man with long black hair in a ponytail came up to Hiten in a tux. His blue eyes sparkled in the lights coming backstage from the performance.

"Mr. Hiten," he said. "It's been a while."

"Kouga you fool!" yelled Hiten. "Welcome to our lovely Opera house!"

"With a lovely singer I might add," said Kouga staring at the stage.

"That's our lead star Miss Higurashi. Rolling in the money that one!" said Manten.

"Lovely," muttered Kouga. "What's her name?"

"Kagome. Kagome Higurashi," said Manten. "Her dressing room is back there if you want to meet her after the show."

"She'd be one to court," said Kouga. "Perhaps she'll accept dinner after the show?"

"Wouldn't see why not," said Hiten. "Go for it then friend. Nab yourself a girl. Perhaps you'll fall in love like in the storybooks!" he laughed.

"Wonderful job Kagome!" yelled Sango running up to her. "Your voice was amazing!"

"I've had some help with it," grinned Kagome.

"How's he doing?" whispered Sango.

"His health is improving. It's not like he's about to let the sickness take him over with his attitude," said Kagome. "Souta is as stubborn as they get."

"The other 'he' Kagome!" she whispered loudly.

"Sango, not here," said Kagome. "I'll let you know later. Where we won't be heard........."

Sango nodded to agree as she walked towards her own dressing room as one of the understudies. Kagome went into her dressing room as well. But a man stood in front of the door when she got there.

"Can I help you sir?" asked Kagome.

"Yes actually. I need some company for dinner, and would be delighted for you to come," he said. "My name is Kouga. Kouga Tajido."

"I'm honored Mr-"

"Please, just Kouga. It's a date then! I'll grab my coat and we'll be off!" he said. Before she could reply he had run back towards the stage.

"Great," she muttered. She waltzed into her dressing room, closing and locking the door in place. "I didn't even say yes!" she said pulling on a robe around the dress from the cold. It was winter, and the Opera House didn't exactly have fireplaces to keep it warm.........

"Kagome? I'm back Kagome!" called Kouga from outside. But two arms locked firmly around her waist pulling her beyond the glass of her mirror. Darkness closed around her as the glass slid back shut sealing the passageway.
