(This fic is pretty short because I want the "Phantom of The Opera" part to be in a different chapter)
The crowd went wild after Christine's performance, she was so amazing and dazzling, even Riru was a bit jelly when the word got out of her spectacular performance (which didn't take too long)
After the performance, Uchida went out to search for Blade in the backstage area. However, he ended up being stuck amidst the sea of actors and dancers that were cluttered up in that same room, gossiping and chatting about tonight's performance. Even Seto and Solva were flirting with their bosses.
Luckily for Kuchinashi, it wasn't difficult for her to find her way around the crown (probably because no but Aruka and Blade actually talk to her)
In some operas (lol I don't think this is true or not) they have little areas to pray in, if one chooses to do so before performing on stage, as to give them a little boost of confidence.
Christine took out an old picture of her father and placed it in front of her as she lit the candles. As she was doing so, a chill ran up her spine as she heard a familiar voice singing from above.
"Brava, brava, bravisima...Christine, Christine, Christine.."
She nearly jumped back when a figure appeared before her but relaxed when it was her sister, Kuchinashi.
She took out a board and began to write (while also drawing in some musical notes)
"Where in da woerld hav u bean hiding? Really u werr purfect"
Blade tried not to giggle when she saw Kuchinashi's terrible grammar
"I only whish I new ur sekret, who es ur great tutor?.."
Blade took a hand and placed it on Kuchinashi's.
"Kuchinasi, when your mother brought me here, so that I could be a free-loader, whenever I'd come down here alone to light a candle for my father...a voice from above..and in my dreams, he was always there.."
Kuchinashi raised an eyebrow "Are you talking about Freddy Kruger?" she wrote
Blade shook her head "No, when my father late, died, he told me I would be protected by an angel, an angel of music"
Her sister showed a face that read omg-you-are-fucking-bonkers-theres-no-way-that-your-dead-dad-is-teaching-you
"But Kuchinashi, who else would it be?...certainly not a creepy guy who watches and stalks my every move like some kind of Yandere"
then she began to sing "Father once spoke of an angel, i used to dream he'd appear, now as i sing I can sense him and i knowwww hessssss here.."
Kuchinashi never knew that her sister took drugs until now
"Here in this room he calls me softly, somewhere inside hiding, somehow I know, he's always with me, he the unseen genius"
"Christine you are fucking crazy" Kuchinashi wrote as she took her sister by the hand and led her to Aruka, she obviously needed some rest...and some rehab. Yet Blade continued to sing
"Angel of music guide and guardian, grant to me your glory, angel of music hide no longer sacred and strange angel..he with me even know around me ...it frightens meee"
...
Aruka led her daughter to the bedroom...while trying to push her new fans away with a pitchfork.
"SHOO SHOO GO AWAY!" Aruka yelled while swiping her pitchfork and closed the door.
When everything went silent, Aruka finally turned to Blade, tears forming.
"My dear you did wonderful" She hugged Blade "Thank you.."
Then Aruka grabbed a rose that was on her stool, which Blade never remembered placing it there, and gave it to her.
"He is pleased with you.." Aruke was of course talking about the Phantom. Blade really didn't believe in the folklore of the phantom that resides in their Opera, that was too childish...she'd much rather believe that the Angel of Music was teaching her lessons at night...but still..
"Madame Aruka?..." Aruke turned to face her daughter "Yes?"
"Um, if the Phantom for some unknown reason wants to hunt me down, you'll protect me right?"
Aruke smiled "Of course dear, he won't lay a finger on you, now get ready for your practice"
Uchida had finally managed to find Blade's door but was greeted by Uten and Kafka.
"Mr. Uchida, perhaps we can introduce you to Christine Blade?" Uten asked while laughing. Uchida shook his head "Thank you good sirs but I'd prefer to meet her unaccompanied now if you'll excuse me.." He noticed that Kafka was holding a bouquet of flowers and took them away as he was leading to Blade's door.
"IT would appear that these two meet before?" Kafka sniffed..
Blade stared at the rose, which the supposed Phantom gave her. It was ripe, red, and blooming.
"Little loli, let her mind wonder.."
Christine turned to the sound of her voice. She smiled when she saw her childhood friend across from her.
"..Little loli thought, am I fonder of doll or zombies and shoes?"
"Uchida!" Blade squealed
He keeled below Blade to hug her. It felt so nice to touch her again...that wasn't creepy.
"Remember when father said "What loli loved best is when I'm asleep in my bed and the angel of music sings songs in my head.."
Uchida smiled, his heart filled with nostalgia, as he joined her tune
"The Angel of Music sings songs in my heaaaad.."
"YOU sang like an angel tonight, Christine.." Blade blushes.
"Father said...or at least I think he said..when I'm in heaven child, I will send the angel of music to you (lol more like a demon)..well father is dead, Uchida, and I have been 'visited' by the angel of music" (IF ya know what she means ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
Most normal guys would've been creeped out if a girls said something like that..but Uchida was a desperate man and didn't care.
"Oh no doubt of it!..." Then he tried asking her out to dinner "And now we go to supper!"
He was about to open the door but Blade stopped him "NO uchida!"
Uchida stopped dead in tracks and turned to see Blade in a serious face
"The Angel of Music is very strict!" No wonder people say Blade is bonkers, but she was a hot bonker, nonetheless.
"Well it shall'nt keep you up late..C'mon little loli we can go for Japanese!"
"Uchida no!" but he left anyway...guess shes having some Japanese food tonight.
The Phantom was right on the other side of Blade's room, locking her door and removing the keys. "Remember.." Aruka said "I want her back, no later than 11:00pm"
Blade switched from her elegant snow white dress, to a sexy revealing long one that gave her body a nice figure and showed off her well toned legs.
Just as she was about to head towards the door, all the lights flickered off and the candles were (somehow) blown off.
"Huh..maybe I am being stalked by Freddy Kruger.." She nearly pissed herself when a booming demanding voice sung from above.
"INSOLENT BOIII ! THIS SLAVE OF FASHION! BASKING IN YOUR GLORYY!"
Blade looked around to see who that singing (and not very good) voice belonged to
"IGNORANT FOOL! THIS BRAVE YOUNG SUITOR!SHARING IN MY TRIUMPH"
Christine gulped as she figured singing back might calm him down
"Angel of Music, speak I listen stay by my side guide me, angel my soul was weak forgive me enter at last master" It seemed to work as he did calm down.
"Flattering child you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide, look at you face in the mirror..."
Blade followed his instructions and faced her mirror, which was about as tall as a person. He was right, there was a figure of a man behind the mirror.
"I AM THERE INSIDE!.." As if in a trance, Blade slowly walked up to the mirror, singing as well.
"Angel of music, guide and guardian, grant to me your glory, angel of music hide no longer , come to me strange Angel..." The smile from Christine's face faded as her eyes widened. He was a strange man indeed. Upon closer inspection, he had on a large black and red cape and only wore bandaged across his face, covering 75% of it.
His voice continued, this time instead of booming and aggressive ,it was hypnotic and alluring.
"I am your angel of music, come to me angel of music!" Loud knocking could be heard from the other side of her room, it was Uchida.
"Who's is that voice? Who is that in there?!" He tried to open the door but it was locked from the outside.
The mirror opened, leading to a dark passageway and the stranger extended a a hand
"I am your angel of music, come to me angel of music.."
Blade took his hand and was slowly dragged away into the door way...
