Hello dear readers. I am soooooo sorry for this very late chapter on this story. This year has been a very tough year for me because I was diagnosed with a chronic illness at the start of the year . Don't worry it not life threating but this year has been filled with hospital appointment as well as balancing university life. Therefore I struggled to find time to write this story. However, I have started to feel a lot better and the appointments have come to a stop. As a result I have planned to do more writing for you guys and hopefully get better with the updating of chapters for this story. PS sorry for the life story. Also the parts in italic is when the character is thinking inside their heads.
As always I don't know own the characters of Inuyahsa or phantom of the opera xxxx
Chapter three the voice
Inuyahsa decided to introduce himself to the new mangers; he walked to the corner of the wings making sure he kept in the shadows as he climbed the rope that leads you to above the stage. Once he finally made it to the top he adjusts himself and looked bellow to see what happening on the stage. A smile creped onto his face (although he would deny it) when he saw Kagome performing one of the dances as she gracefully leaped around the stage as if she was a feather in the wind. However her performance was being ruined by the wench in the middle of the stage, Kikyo. Her singing making his ears sink to his head, as a low growl escaped his lips. What can I do to stop that stupid wrench from singing anymore? Looking around Inuyahsa couldn't see any sign of crew that were meant to be minding the ropes. Once he was sure the coast was clear, Inuyahsa crept further up the ramp and stood in front of a bunch of thick tatted ropes holding up the prop that stood behind Kikyo, at centre stage. A smile twisted onto his face, as his claws swung at the ropes and watched as the prop slowly started to fall onto of Kikyo. Pleased with his work, the Hanyo jumped down from the platform and existed into the shadows towards his home.
Whilst Inuyahsa escaped to his home, the sound of chaos erupted on stage as people screamed and run to cover as Kikyo screamed for help as she struggled under the weight of the prop that was holding her down on the group.
"Help me up now, you useless staff, I demand that you help me up" Frustrated Kikyo screamed, as four brave men Slowey approached the mad diva and helped to lift the prop back in place and help her up to her feet. During this time, the young Kagaome stood at the side of the wings, hands placed over her beating heart that threated to beat out of chest as she recovered from the shock from what just happed. Who could have done such a thing? I don't think anyone was up there at the time, nor would anyone dare insult the lady Kikyo, unless? Kagome looked up standing on her tip toes, desperate to see if she could see anything lurking behind the curtains. But nothing was there. Suddenly Kagome attention was brought back to the stage, as the new mangers enter the stage after hearing all the commotion from their office.
"What an earth is going on here, why is lady Kikyo crushed under the building please help her up this insisted." Naraku ordered as he saw what they chaos was all about"
"pst Kagome" Sango whispered as she found Kagome amongst the crowd that had gathered, to witness the event themselves. Dragging Kagome to the side, she asked " It the demon, he was here, he was the one who cut the strings it has to be" As Kagome listen her heart started to beat fast as she took in what her friend was saying. The demon? Surely not for he just a story no one has ever saw him, but yet again this event certainly is strange and no one can explain as to how the prop fell in the first place.
Meanwhile on stage, a larger crowed had started to gather in order to witness the fight between lady Kikyo and the new managers. Kagome could not quite work out what was being said but she gathered that it was bad, from the way lady Kikyo stormed out of the theatre followed by her servants.
"What are we going to do now, we still need to rehearse the solo in act one for the opening performance tonight! But with no lady Kikyo then I guess it doesn't matter because there will be no show and my music will not be heard". Shippo the conduct announced as he threw his music sheets in the air. Poor Shippo he always works so hard on his music too and it always sounds so lovely it a shame that lady Kikyo singing always reunions it.
"But surely lady Kikyo has an understudy to take her place in situations such as this one." Naraku replayed.
"Noooo, the lady Kikyo never has an understudy. She refused to have one; she argues that there can never be a copy of her that takes her part in the musicals."
Kagome watched on as the mangers kept on arguing with the conductor. Kagome started at her stained chalk feet, why did lady Kikyo have to ruin it for everyone. I worked really hard this week and was looking forward to performing the dances, especially the ballet number with the lambs I worked so hard perfecting that one. Suddenly Kagaome head shot up as lady Kaede called out her name while grabbing her arm and pulling her to the centre of the stage.
"Lady Kagome has a sweet voice and has been trained by a talented teacher. She is a similar height and waist to lady Kikyo, therefore there will be no need to adjust her costume before tonight." Lady Kaede announced to the new mangers before pushing Kagome in front of her with a nod.
What ! She wants me to sing? I have never sung in front of an audience before in my life. I have only ever sung in front of my teacher and even then he never shows his face but instead he hides in the shadows. What should I do they are all waiting for me to sing. Think Kagome what song should I sing. There that song that Shippo wrote for the end of the first act I think I remember how it goes.
Kagome positioned herself in the centre of the stage looking out to the rows of empty seats in the audience. Squeezing her hands tightly that her nails began to dig into her palms. Kagome took a deep breath and began to sing (Think of me).
Inuyahsa pov
That shows those managers and lady Kikyo who the boss around this theatre. As I walk through the dark corridors to my place a sweet melody fills the room and softly touches my ears making them twitch at the sound of an angle singing.
It can't be, only one person I know can sing as sweet and gentle as this.
Suddenly I turn around and spirt back towards the stage as I listen to that sound of Kagaome singing fill the room. When I reach the stage I have to press myself so close to the walls to prevent myself being seen by the large group of people gathered around in shock to watch Kagaome sing on stage. Creeping slowly to the rope that allows me to climb to the top of the stage, I listen to the sound of Kagaome voice fill the room although every so often I force myself to hold In a growl that try to escapee my lips as I watch a few men try and creep closer towards my Kagome with the look of love on their faces, back of she mine. I finally reach the rope and I effortlessly pull myself to the top of the stage and watch Kagaome perform. Her face has formed a smile as she comes to end the end of her songs and bows her head when the crowed cheer for her. Suddenly a thought hits my mind as I stare down at Kagaome who has ran to her waiting friend who pulls her in to tight hug as the Naraku announced Kagaome being the new lead in tonight's performance. I decided I will show my presence to Kagome tonight. And with that thought playing in my mind I left the stage and headed to my room preparing myself for tonight.
