In sleep he sang to me---" Kayko began as the dark figure lead her down a dark pathway. Strange candle holder that was like golden hands seemed to follow them as they walk. " In dreams he came---- That voice that calls to me and speaks my name---and though I dream again threw now I find---The phantom of the opera is here inside my mind"
Finally there was enough light to see him, he turned to stare deeply into her eyes.
She almost gasp because staring at her was the most beauitful green eyes she has ever seen.
His long red hair was kept neatly behind him.

The mask covered most of his face showing was his eye and his lower lip. The mask was a pale egg white color.
She shivered from both cold and fright. " Sing once again with me, My power over you grow's stranger yet-and though you turn from me to glance behind the PHANTOM of the opera is here right inside your mind" He sang back in a deep rich voice..

He was leading her to a boat. A small boat but well be able to fit the two of them with no problem, he helped her down while keeping his gazed locked into hers. Soon he had his staff in his hand pushing the boat forwards.
" Through who seen your face draw back in fear-I am the mask you wear-" " Its me they hear-" he finished the last line. Mist surrounds the boat as they went into the dark. Soon they reached a draw gate. Like magic it started to rise. Candles rose from the water and flickering on as if someone turn on the light switch.

Sadly to say the ride was over, the phantom jumped out of the boat taking off the black cloak that was covering him.
He war a black shirt with a deep green vest over it showing that infact he had some muscles. On his vest wear an even darker outline of vines climbing up to the end near his chest. black suit pants making him look like a fine gentleman if not for the mask.
"I have brought you to see the seat of sweet music's throne. To this kingdom which all must pay homage to my music. Music----You have come here for one test and one alone-." He had walked over to his great piano and started to play some loud high notes that sounded almost right to what he was singing. "Since the moment I first heard you sing. I had needed you here with me to sing, for my music-- My music"
He then went back to the boat. Walking slowly yet so swiftly.

Helping her out of the boat he walk her around still keeping her eyes with her gaze. " Night time sharpens and heightens each sensation. Silently the senses abounded there defenses. Turn your face away from the careless light of day. And listen to the music of the night. Close your eyes and let you mind surrender to your darkest dreams. Purge you mind of memories of before.

Close you mind and let you mind SOAR----" He was know kind of showing off on what he was able to do with his voice. Switching to alto to sapranio back into a even deeper alto. He stopped and draw a curtin. First Kayko could not stop looking at him tell he draw his eyes away looking at the thing he wanted her to see. She look and was friend. Looking right at her was this perfect doll that looked just like herself. But in a wedding dress of pearl white.

This had frightened her so much she fainted. Luckily the phantom was there to catch her. She was carried to his bed. The bed itself was a large and inviting. Large pillows and soft velvet was a plenty. After laying her down he pulled down a drop blanket from over the bed helping keep the light out, letting her to have a restful sleep.
-----------------------------------------------

" RRRAR!" scream an orange haired man. Women screeched with fright all around.
He made another growlingnoise and the women steped back laughing and yelping all the way.
"Some say he's an ugly beast ready to take any women for his own twisted fantasy's.
With half of his face missing he is one ugly man he is..

But don't worry I Kazuma Kuwabarai swears to practiced you beautiful ladies." He grabbed one of the smaller girls who was wearing a overly large night gown. He made more of the growling sounds. Small foot steps came up giving small warning on who had heard them. " Those who speak of those of things they do not know well meet there end by his hands." She pulled the girl away from him. She had a nooce in her hands. She placed it over the larger mans neck and tightened it. " Keep your hand at the level of Your eyes.." She hissed a warning. She then let go and pushed him out. There were many groans when he left. They liked him. But Genkai would have none of that. " Go to sleep girls we have another show to do.." She commanded and left going to her own room. All the other girls shared one very large room.

Kayko awoke hours later still hazy with sleep she tried to remember why she was in a unknown room. A small monkey music box was playing close by, playing the tune of masker aid. After shaking her head she remembered what had happened. " Who is that behind the mask?" She wondered.

She stood and moved the curtains out of the way. All around her she saw candles hundreds of mirrors a plenty of small wooden homes. One looked just like the stage in which she acted every night for the past 9 years of her life. It was true. She had started at age seven. The phantom was now seated at his piano playing a soft tune. Every once and a while he would write down more notes on the music paper above the key board.

Today he was wearing a white shirt with another black suit pant's. His shirt was not buttoned all the way up showing his milky white chest. She approached him slowly. He made no move when she finally reached him. He just continued to play a nice slow song. She then started to touch his head moving her way slowly to his mask. The phantom was to busy enjoying the feel so he did not notice till it was too late. Kayko quickly pulled of his mask! His hand shot straight up covering his face,she was able to catch a small glimpse. He pushed her away as he stood. She fell to the ground still with the mask in her hand. " Curse you ! You lying little pest. Is this what you wanted to see?"
He lifted his hand to look at himself in the mirror. She was still unable to see his face. "Know you could never be free.. Damn you.. curse you…. " He sat down on the floor by Kayko still covering his face. But know the look of rage had turned into a sorrowful face.
" Kayko.." He said softly still not looking at her. Kayko just realized she had been crying mostly out of fear. She handed him back his mask and tried to smile. He took it with a quick thank you he turned and replaced his mask. Standing up quickly he look back down.
" Come! you must return. Those two fools who run my threater might be missing you..

Ok that's all I'm writing for know. What did you think?
Yes are phantom is kind of crazy but what do you think he should do when he's ALL alone. Yes both Yusuke and Kayko are about 16 in this story.

But back then it was normal for younger girls to marry older men…
