Chapter 1: When they first met.

"Eri would you come here for a second" Eri looked up to Mr. Yumiro who had slightly greying hair that covered his head sideburn to sideburn and not the top, the side burns with to much gel, and a warm green shade eyed stare. (I made him up you'll catch on.) Eri smiled, wiping some sweat from her brows, afterwards she stopped her sweeping that just wasn't getting done all to well, for one reason, the honey she continuously kept scrubbing would not wash off, one really bad thing was this was the stage, one night when some ballet dancers were about to do act five their slippers wouldn't even as hover over the sticky substance. The part that angered them was the mysterious boy, who would keep doing such annoying and terrible things… But Eri would not complain this was good money after all, also she absolutely wanted to create an opera and host it, once before she had made a play for school but that wasn't the big big big stuff… So she usually after work buzzed Mr. Yumiro's ear off, begging to have her Opera on stage. Anyway back to the present. Eri called along the hardened honey spilled stage. "Yes Mr.Yumiro?" He waved two envelopes, "good news come here!" Eri nodded and placed her broom on the back wall, and jogging girly-style down the stairs and in front of him. He handed her the first envelope, "your pay and-" he handed the last letter, "I saved the best for last." She gave him a quizzical look, taking the envelope and ripping the flap upwards, the same with the letter, she opened it and read out loud.

"Dear Miss Eri Omoishi

This is committee of the Tokyo Theatre House.

Our manager has informed us you wish to present one of your own presentations.

We found it in ourselves to accept this wish of yours, your presentation will need the following:" Eri looked up, "really?" she asked a smile forming. "It says what it says doesn't it" "Oh my god! Thank you sir thank you so much!" She exclaimed hugging him out of pure excitement, unknowing of the presence which listened above on the rafters. He wore the most unusual clothing in that day and age, he wore an out dated kimono, a black cap, and a white mask, that hid all of his features, except the eyes, which were amber. He watched the hyper girl below hug the shit out of the old man, he snorted arrogantly. " Good another pathetic Opera to destroy…talk about annoying the hell out of me" he was already bored by the scene and raced to the cellar where he lived, starting to smirk at a thought to destroy the presentation.

A phone sounded in the Higurashi household a girl with raven hair answered the call. "Hello?" She asked, continuing to fry the eggs sitting in the centre of her pan, she shortly regretted having the phone so close to her ear. "HEY KAGOME! IT'S ERI!" "I figured that out, whats up?" She stopped working on her eggs, pulling the phone a little away. "YOU KNOW HOW I'M WORKING IN THE THEATRE HOUSE" "hai" "WELL THEY ARE ALLOWING ME TO DIRECT A PLAY THERE!" "Wow that's awesome Eri" Kagome started to walk in her living room, just alittle away from the kitchen. "I KNOW, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WANTED TO BE IN IT! ALSO I'LL NEED HELP CASTING!" Kagome thought for a second `sounds fun… I think I can sing Opera.. but anyway' "I'd love to" "GREAT COME OVER RIGHT AWAY I LIVE IN THE APARTMENT HOUSES NOW, IN 6B" "ok see you Eri" Kagome clicked the travel phone off, and placed it on a table beside her, suddenly smelling something burning. "AH! MY EGGS!" She ran back to care for them. It had been three years since her mother and grandfather passed away, it was a winter night, everything stood covered in snow, it had been the most snow seen yet in Japan. They were all coming home from dinner, a woman in a car, who's brakes gave out, drove in front of them. "Kagome, Sota, duck down" Mrs. Higurashi jerked the steering wheel around, they just skimmed each other, but the road just was to icy. They began to swirl, until the car flipped over. The airbags came to slow, and the windshield diced her and Kagome's grandfather up pretty bad. The crimson, just came everywhere, as for Kagome and Sota, Sota was protected by Kagome, she held him under her, the impact of the glass cutting some of her back, then finally her head hit the car seat extremely hard, she wasn't unconscious for very long though. She woke when she was pulled onto a stretcher, she saw her mothers crimson garrotted face, that would haunt her dreams forever. She would once in a while awake in a sweating state, when ever she dreamt of it. The tragedy of this was very hard on the both of her and Sota, but the grieving was healed by the friends they had. One of the friends had a bad habit of calling her his woman though… but he moved. Since after the tragedy Kagome had to watch over Sota, they both still lived in the Higurashi shrine. Anyway Kagome, decided she'd eat later grabbing her coat, and walking out into the sun. Sota was studying with a friend, it was his last year of high school. He wouldn't be back for a little while. She hopped a subway and was at Eri's before you could say wow. She entered an elevator, and pressed a floor button, waiting for the others to get on, they began riding up.

"Hey Kagome!" Eri and Kagome hugged once Eri's door opened. "I'm so glad you agreed, I have my coat and the music sheets now lets get to the theatre house quickly, we only have an hour, I have to get to my other job at 10:00" she walked out just about to lock the door when- "I wait I have to get the keys for the T house hold on" Kagome nodded, hearing Eri's shuffled footsteps then a "a-ha!" And there was Eri once again locking the door, and they were at last headed to the Theatre house. After 20 minutes they arrived to the very large destination, Eri unlocked the doors, holding it open for Kagome to pass in. She thanked her with a cheery smile and the two entered the auditorium, in there was all the seats, a piano and of course the stage with a microphone on a stand, and the rafters above full of shadows, where you-probably-know-who was watching. Eri walked over to plug the mic in and laid a music sheet on the piano's note holder, then gave Kagome her own lyric and note page, thank god she knew how to read it. "Ok Kagome, I'm gonna play it over a couple of times so you know the beat of the song.. Then I'll have you sing it" Kagome smiled and replied "yes" heading onto the stage, and walking to the mic. For some strange reason the seats made her terribly nervous they gave a overwhelming affect, but she tried her best and ignored the feeling telling herself, `its only me and Eri here, it's only me and Eri here' over and over, she looked over the notes and lyrics. `These are so high! I hope I can hit them, being the lead would be great!' She smiled once more. The boy in the rafters, watched the girl smile, and felt the world become so right, why did he feel like that, its just a girl like all the others he thought, but she seemed…different. He decided to stay and listen to her song, as he cursed he's mother's heritage for feeling this way. "Ready Kagome?" "yup, go ahead" Eri began hitting down a bunch of keys, Kagome beginnging to sing. "Think of me, think of me fondly when we said goodbye, remember me once in a while please promise me you'll tr-" Kagome choked and started to cough, she grumbled in frustration, that sounded horrible even the boy in the rafters was holding his ears, he could sense her anger towards herself. `Keh that sucked! But she was really good till the high part…she doesn't seem in practice of any sort, but I don't care! Hmp waist of my time, stupid girl trying out for a opera when she doesn't even know it…I say good luck.' He started walking away but just couldn't, he was drawn to this girl `why her!' he growled while reassuming his sitting position. `you should meet her' a voice in his head said, `now I'm talking to myself wonderful' `do it!' `NO!' `DO IT!' `HOW!' `teach her the advances in opera you know them, besides you know you like her' `WHAT I DO NOT!' `DO IT!!!' The war in his head kept fighting with him…Note to reader never live alone in a building forever or you might go nuts. Kagome begged another try and received it but, Eri just knew she wasn't going to be able to hit the note without practice and Eri couldn't sing nor did they have a lessons teacher in Tokyo anymore. Eri was going to be forced to place her as a chorus girl…But at least she was in it she thought. The music sounded again Kagome starting and ending the same way. `FINE I'LL DO IT JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!' `heh heh heh I'm evil' the voice went away, and the boy tried to form a plan to have the girl alone to ask to teach her. `I have to draw her away from the bitch at the piano somehow' and almost instantly he spotted the raven maidens coat near the door on a seat. `oh I'm good I'll just steal it' he smirked getting a plan to retrieve it. Kagome apologized, "the role you base me as, I'll be ok with this, I just can't do this.." Eri smiled half-heartedly. "You did pretty well Kagome, don't worry you will be in it" "thank yo-" Kagome replied a little distracted by a flash of red rolling to the ground and under the seats. `What was that…Was it a demon? I thought only Eri and I were here unless it was- nah that's a myth..it's just my imagination.' Eri's watch started to chime just then. "AH I HAVE TO GO! COME ON KAGOME" The two were collected the notes and unplugged the mic running out and locking the door they were half way down the stairs. "My coat, I have to get it!" "fine ok heres the keys lock up when your done bye!" Eri kept running flinging the keys to Kagome on the way. Kagome re-entered the auditorium, and paused. "Where is it, I left it right there"

The strange boy opened a pocket on the coat, bringing out a small papered package that said `Tampex' on the side another was in the pocket as well. "What the hell is this?" He inquired scratching his head, when he heard the girl looking around down on stage. "This is so crazy, how could it disappear" `maybe it was the- oh shut up Kagome your thinking crazy' she never heard the boy jump down from the rafters behind her. "How could I miss place it?" "you didn't idiot I have it" Kagome gasped and spun around, her eyes going big. "W-who are you?" she stuttered, looking him up to the mask that hid his face. He `keh-ed' "like you wouldn't know, I am the huge reason most presentation's go wrong" he pointed to the lovely work he had done to the stage (now you know who poured the honey). She looked down then up, a little more scared, "the o-opera g-ghost!?" her curiosity was dominating though. His shoulders fell. "That's what they call me now! Oh great name, what stupid bloody bastard made that one up!" "me" "…oh, well it is a stupid name!" "then I'll call you by your real name, so what is it?" "Like I'd tell you wench" he stubbornly turned from her, `wench!' "Wench? I'm nobody's wench jerk, give me my coat now, I'm going home!" Kagome shouted trying to yank the man's hands from it. "Keh I'm a jerk, you're the one trying out for an Opera and you can't even sing it!" She stopped her yanking. "You heard me?" "Fuck ya! Probably all of Tokyo heard it" Kagome looked down sighing. `Who am I kidding, he's right I absolutely sucked up there, I never do anything right' she felt hurt and two tears leaked down her face. He smelt the tears, moving his face down to look at hers. "Damn it, you are crying, just stop it, I can't stand girls crying!" "I just can't all right! Nothing seems to go right for me and I hate it! I love being leads in plays of any sort, and for my luck the music teacher moved to Kyoto! And my mother-" she flinched when she felt him place a hand on her back moving it in a very soothing way, her face was in shock, a tiny blush forming. "What are you-" "I thought that would shut you up." After he regretted saying that, she swatted him away. "You insensitive, arrogant, selfish jerk don't touch me!" She glared at him, "you better leave Eri's play alone you got that!" He was quiet `DO IT!' "the teacher moved?" "Why do you care!?" He looked down, "I can teach you.. I seen so many Opera's and destroyed so many I know all about it" (Don't kill me but in the phantom of the opera he teaches her how to sing, I know it seems OOC but it will be good…I hope anyway.) She was surprised and shocked, surprised for the offer, and shocked that he could even sing! "You will?…why?" "I ain't got anything better to do it's boring here after awhile, now you wanna be good or not?!" She hugged him, "arigato so much!" she then started to form a blush, and pulled away, she couldn't see that he was blushing too. `She smells so good' he cleared his throat. "Sorry" Kagome said nervously, but recovered quickly. "When should I come for the lessons?" He snorted, "I never leave duh! Come when ever…but I'll tell you where to meet me…look up." She followed the order and saw "the rafter's?" He nodded, "I like my whereabouts unknown, you got that" she nodded, "um I'm a little afraid of heights though" "once you get up there its not so so high, not to me anyway" she sighed, looking to see a ladder at the other end leading up to it. "Well Eri's play is in the summer, I'll come everyday at 4:00 to 7:00…unless I have a family emergency ok" "whatever the door will be unlocked when you come." She grinned a thanking smile, "my coat please" he thrust it to her, turning to leave. `There I did it!' `good boy' "By the way" he glanced back, "what now!" "I'm Kagome Higurashi, its ok you don't want to tell me yours" it was her turn to turn away to leave. "My name is InuYasha" she looked back and he was gone.
