AN: Hi! This fic is getting kinda creepy. (Kyo sneaks up on Jezebel holding lighter and cackling sadistically)

I drew a pik of Kyo Yuki and Tohru in costume last night out of boredom, and it has confirmed my suspicions. Kyo is definitely the coolest phantom EVER! If anyone wants to se the pik, I'll be uploading it and sticking it in my profile quite soon.

Oh yeah, has anyone noticed how in the movie, during the song 'The Phantom Of The Opera', Gerard Butler (The Phantom; can also be seen in Lara Croft Tomb-raider 2, and Dracula, and other stuff) is pouting? It's so hilarious! He's actually not that good looking, but when he gets the mask look going… WOW! I mean… Yeah… Raoul (Patrick Wilson; can be seen in The Full Monty on Broadway: haha… I have a pik) Is adorable, but compared to Gerry, Paddy looks like school lasagne, and my face droops whenever that comes on stage.

Oh yeah, and if anyone is still reading, thank you! I'm so happy to know people still like it.

Anyway… On with the fic! X3 I love saying that… CAUTION! YUKI X TOHRU MOMENT: ROMANCE MAJOR TIME!

The day was drawing ever closer. The cast had been allowed a full day of rehearsals, and Shinji was getting extremely anxious. The orchestra was just piling into the theatre, and getting ready to play. There was also still a small scene to block involving Haru and a couple of chorus girls, and Motoko, who had been getting more irritated every day of rehearsals.

Before he went on stage, Haru grabbed Yuki's shirt, and pulled him in close. "Stay away from Kyo until I get a break. Then I'll come and find you." He whispered.

"Wait, why-?" Yuki was cut off as Shinji called for Haru to start rehearsing.

Yuki frowned slightly. There was something going on that Haru knew something about. Just what it was he wasn't sure, but obviously Kyo was up to something.

"Yuki-kun?" It was Tohru. She was already in costume, although they had only just got into the theatre. "I think I need to talk to you, can we go upstairs? There aren't many people up there yet."

She took him by the hand and hastily led him to the fourth floor, which was uninhabited.

They stood in her dressing room. Yuki could tell by her expression that she was scared.

"What's wrong?" He said quietly, carefully placing a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

"It's Kyo-kun. I think there's something really wrong. I'm really worried." The tears started welling up in her eyes, and she held onto his arm in an affectionate yet desperate embrace.

Yuki placed a hand on the back of her head, and hugged her as best he could. "I know what you mean. He has been acting pretty weird. But I'm sure it's just a phase. Well… I hope."

"I…" She looked up into his eyes. "It… It scares me. I know something is wrong, I can feel it, I just don't understand, what could have happened to make him act this way? Maybe if I go and talk to him, I could find out what it is."

Yuki breathed in deeply. "I don't think you should be alone with Kyo right now. He's not himself. He's… Well, Haru told me not to see him. He could be… Dangerous."

Tohru couldn't imagine Kyo being anything like that, but the way he had been talking and behaving in the last few weeks, it wouldn't be all that surprising. It wasn't like Kyo at all to be this way. It was almost as if he was becoming a completely different person. A person, that only a few weeks ago, he had been asked to become. What if… what if he had taken his acting responsibilities far too literally, and was gradually turning into the Phantom of The Opera?

Tohru tried to dismiss the notion, but it stuck in her head, and the knot in her stomach twisted itself tighter. "Yuki-kun, someone has to talk to him. We can't just leave him like this. He could, something could-"

"I know. I know what you're thinking, and you're absolutely right. He's changing. And it's not good. He must have said something to Haru yesterday that made it clear. He's… Just, please don't go to talk to him on your own. I understand you need to help him, but I can't send you up there alone. Not knowing that he could… Hurt you."

"Please, don't talk like that. Kyo-kun, he would never… Would he?"

"I don't know." Yuki rested his chin lightly on the top of her head. "But I won't risk it."

When Haru finally came out of his rehearsal, the scene Magical Lassoo completely blocked and to be rehearsed in two hours, he found Yuki and Tohru asleep in each other's arms on a small chaisse-longue in her dressing room. He smiled. They'd all been working extra-hard in the last few days, and he'd known Yuki and Tohru had been secretly involved for weeks. He was the only one who knew about it, seeing as he walked in on them kissing in Shigure's bathroom.

But he knew they all needed to talk, and Momiji was waiting outside. (Haru had suspected that Yuki and Tohru would be taking advantage of their solitude, and so made him stay outside so their secret would be safe.)

He gently nudged Yuki's shoulder. Yuki's eyes slowly blinked open, and he saw Haru leaning over them.

"Hey Yuki."

Tohru in turn was nudged carefully out of sleep, and Momiji was eventually let in.

When they had all found a place to sit, Momiji was sitting cross legged on Tohru's dressing table, Haru on the floor, and Yuki and Tohru sat yawning on the chaisse-longue, Yuki resisting with difficulty the temptation to place an arm around her.

"So, what happened yesterday?" Said Yuki, suppressing a yawn.

"Well, I came out with two conclusions." Said Haru, holding up two fingers and accidentally swearing at Yuki. "The first; is that Kyo is definitely up to something, and has changed. He usually has the same amount of mental instability as a can of spam. And the second; that he's become convinced that there's something wrong with his face."

"His face?" Said Momiji, sitting up. "What do you mean?"

"Well, he did this as soon as he saw me." Haru covered half of his face, trying to remember exactly how Kyo had done it.

"Th-That's exactly what the phantom does when Christine takes his mask in Stranger Than You Dreamt It." Said Yuki. "You mean… Is there something wrong with his face? He could have some weird disorder or something, like those girls who think they're too fat."

"I don't think so." Said Haru. I saw, there was something on his face. It was reddish purple, like a healing wound. I think he might have hurt himself on purpose."

Tohru raised a hand to her mouth, and Momiji and Yuki both looked at Haru with concerned faces. Haru was surprised about Yuki. He didn't say anything, but he definitely had not expected him of all people to be concerned.

"Someone has to do something. He can't go on like this. Not in front of all those people. It would be the end of him." Said Yuki. "He shouldn't be remembered for that."

The four of them sat in silence, wondering what they could do. Eventually Haru was called back to practice his scene, and Momiji was needed to get some more props. Yuki and Tohru were alone again.

"This isn't good at all." Tohru said quietly, the tears welling up again. "Where do you think he is right now?"

"He's probably up on the seventh floor. Maybe… Maybe he's just getting into character."

The two of them were both silent. That was exactly what they were afraid of.

AN: Next chap I promise lots of Kyo creepiness up front and personal. And the pik of the three leads is in the profile.
