The Phantom of the Kabuki Theatre
By Mischievous Dragon
A/N: Hey all, sorry it took me soooo long to update! I said I'd update when I got the movie and guess what I did! Finally! Ii got it for Christmas from my Grandparents. I've been so busy since then that I haven't even had time to watch it. I babysat three kids for ten hours today-I am dead tired! I even took them sledding, but the3 hill was so icy they didn't even need the sleds or crazy carpets. Anyways on with the story...
Act I, Scene II
As Tohru headed towards the stage she prayed to her mother 'Please, please help me get through this mom'. She stopped took her place on the stage and waited for Madame Mayu's signal. Madame Mayu was Monsieur Hatori's wife and was educated in the ways of conducting an orchestra as well as singers and took the job tpo help out her husband since the job had recently been opened (the last man who had the job had disappeared mysteriously...)
"From the beginning of the aria then, please, mademoiselle." Madame Mayu spoke while Monsieur Kurenoo and Monsieur Hatori were murmuring on the side of the stage. "This is doing nothing for my nerves, Kureno." Hatori told him. "I know.." Kureno was about to speak but his wife interrupted "But she is very pretty."
Tohru:
Hold me
Hold me tightly
When we say goodbye
Remember me as a dear child
Please promise you'll try
When I find
That once again you turned
into that rat I always loved
If you ever find a moment
Spare a hug for me
The scenery suddenly changes, Tohru is alone on stage and her dancer's costume is replace by a long white princess dress and her hair is tied up with little white flowers in it. The backgroud is that of winter at night and it only makes Tohru more beautiful to the Vicomte Yuki that night. The Kabuki is a full house and not a single seat is empty. Tohru enjoys the feeling of thousands of eyes watching her sing.
Tohru:
I always said our love was beautiful,
As beautiful as snow is
But if you can still remember
Stop and hold me
Think of all the things
We've said and done
Don't think about the way
We might have been
Hold me,
Hold me when I'm waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me, trying to hide
What you put in my mind
Recall those days
Look back on all that time
Think of the things we never did
There will always be a day
When I will think of you
The Vicomte stares into Tohru's eyes and realizes he's seen her somewhere before... Back in his childhood 'Could this be little Lotte?' The Vicomte Yuki is amazed at how she has blossomed from a child to a beautiful young woman.
Yuki:
Could this be?
Could this be Tohru?
Bravo! Bravo!
Long ago
It seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may no remember me
But I remeber her
Tohru:
Flowers fade
The fruits of summer stay
In this illusion
So do we
But please promise me
That always
You will hold
onto me
Tohru had received a standing ovation by the end of her song, she felt like a part of her had been completed that night-she had sung her heart out. Even the new managers enjoyed it, Madame Mayu was extremly satisfied with the way Tohru had sung and Tohru could tell that Madame Arisa absolutely adore her singing. Tohru immediatly went down to the chapel, while Yuki was trying to make his way through the crowd who wanted to see Tohru, to see her as well and were waiting backstage till she went to her dressing room.
A/N: Hey answering my reviews: yoshiru-I'm half french, half english my first language is english and I've been to a french school for eight years of my life but now attend an english high school. I wanted the characters to have a little bit of French accents in them so the atmosphere wouldn't be lost.
catgirlversion3.0otakufan-I don't think the phantom is truly evil inside, and my version is going to be a little different so I needed someone who had feelings for other zodiac members to play his part and besides Akito hates Tohru whereas the Phantom loves Christine but cannot get her top return his feelings. I think Kyo relates more to the phantom because of his curse than Akito does.
PhantomFan-Thanks, I don't think the song in this chapter is as good and it's mostly singing so you won't really get to see that much character interraction in this one. But I'm glad you liked the way I changed Hannibal to the Animal.
RiceballAbby-I'm glad you liked the characters I chose so much! Three is here!
...-I ended up writting more so here ya go!
Kagura-I'm glad you kliked the choices I deecided the phantom will be paired up with someone other than Tohru in the end (I always felt bad for him).
I saw Memoirs of a Geisha last night! It was awesome! The book was way better though. Well until next chapter which is Angel of Music as the next song! Byes!
P.S. Sorry it's such a short chapter but at least I updated right? I'm still sorry I'll try and update the next chapter sometime this week.
