Izaya was grateful that he didn't get the big role this time, he didn't have to stand in front in so many people again and try not to stutter. Namie walked onto the set in a gigantic dress with pink frills all over the place. He wanted to barf, what kind of person would want to wear something so frilly and pink that it blinds you. Looking away in disgust he looked at his outfit.
He wore an elegant shirt with puffed pants, he sometimes didn't understand the people that made the outfits for the plays.
"Everyone, get ready!" Kadota clapped his hands and smiled at Erika who was struggling to get used to the outfit that she was wearing. "You all must be great, people are expecting great things tonight. Erika please start us off."
Erika nodded standing up straight, and then walked out to the other side of the curtain to announce the play was to start.
"Izaya, may I talk to you?" Kadota walked up to Izaya who was discussing what he should do with Shinra. "Privately please."
Shinra nodded and went off with the other people to do the first act, waving at Izaya as a goodbye.
"I would like to know, were you hurt in anyway when the Phantom took you." Kadota asked rubbing the back of his head, obviously trying to hide the fact that he was worried.
Izaya shook his head and smirked at Kadota. "Are you worried about me Dotachin? I wouldn't worry, I'm completely fine."
Kadota narrowed his eyes at the name but his face showed he was relieved to hear that Izaya was okay.
"That's good to hear, kid." Kadota uttered out. "You do good out there, okay?"
Izaya nodded and ran when the music started changing and Namie's voice rang out throughout the Opera house.
OoOoOoO
"They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!
His Lordship, sure, would die of shock
His Lordship is a laughing-stock! Should he suspect her, God protect her!
Shame! Shame! Shame! This faithless lady's bound for HADES!
Shame! Shame! Shame!" The group of people dressed as nobles sang on the stage.
"Serafimo - your disguise is perfect.
Who can this be?" Namie sang loudly making the people behind the stage put earplugs in their ears.
"Gentle wife, admit your loving husband.
My love - I am called to England on affairs of State,
And must leave you with your new maid.
Though I'd happily take the maid with me." A man named Akabayashi sang out and smacked Izaya's butt before Izaya simply growled and acted as if he was shocked.
"The old fool's leaving!" Namie said loudly to the crowd.
"I suspect my young bride is untrue to me, I shall not leave but will hide over there.
To observe her.
Adieu, Adieu, Adieu." Akabayashi sang loudly before halfway leaving the stage, waving the fan around in his hand.
"Serafimo - away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence!" Namie sang before she and Izaya hid their faces behind the fan she held, making it seem as if they were kissing, causing the crowd to gasp.
Izaya stuck his tongue out at Namie and she snarled at him before they both pulled back from each other.
"Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Haha, Haha...
Time I tried to get a better better half!
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
Hoho, Hoho...
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!" Namie sang again as Izaya stood proudly like he was supposed to do.
"Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?" A voice echoed around the room, causing many people to scream in fear and some to gasp.
Izaya knew who it was and sighed as many people hid from the voice. He looked toward the source and confirmed it was him.
"He's here: the Phantom of the Opera … It's him I know it's him" Izaya said silently.
"Your part is silent, little toad!" Namie growled out loudly pointing the fan at him, causing many people shake their head in disapproval.
OoOoOoO
"A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad …" Shizuo murmured as he left the area he stood, and entered a secret door to the side.
Shizuo walked down to the back of the stage and found the source of Namie's cause of continuing her career of the soprano. Replacing the bottle that was the source of it all with a concoction he made awhile back that he took from the child Airia, he smiled and walked away as Namie came to spray it in her mouth.
"Serafimo, away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my ...
Poor fool, he makes me laugh -
Hahahahaha-" Shizuo heard Namie sing in the background until the giant croak was heard.
A cry of distress and people gasping in the crowd filled Shizuo with joy as he walked up to the crow's nest to watch his plan take place.
OoOoOoO
"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize, the performance will continue in ten minutes' time …" Walker shouted out to the confused crowd and then looked at Izaya who was struggling behind the curtain to get out of the way. "... when the role of the Countess will be played by Mister Izaya Orihara. Meanwhile, we'd like to give you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera."
Izaya struggled to pull away from Walker, as he was dragged into the backroom to get dressed into the countesses dress.
OoOoOoO
From the corner of his eye he saw Celty sitting in the nosebleed section of the seats. Smiling he turned and watched the ballet happily. As he did so he could feel someone staring at him from behind. Kida tried hiding behind the wheel that controlled the curtains and watched as Shizuo approached him slowly. Jumping up from the hiding place he ran across to the other side of the walkway, causing it to shake viciously and sway. Shizuo followed slowly having to at least get to Kida before he ran off to tell his lackey that he was hiding up here. Jumping down the rope to get away, Kida slipped off and fell holding onto the edge of the swaying walkway. Shizuo ran towards Kida and held out his hand to him, causing Kida to release his grip and try to grab Shizuo's hand before he fell off the walkway and towards the stage.
Shizuo watched in fear as the boy fell and he couldn't do anything about it.
Black shadows went around the stage to catch Kida before he hit the stage floor. The audience screamed and ran out of the room as they saw the source of the shadows.
Shizuo sighed in relief and pushed himself up to stand. A movement from box 5 caused him to turn towards it and see Kasuka run down the other stairs that lead to the back of the stage. Growling, Shizuo jumped on the rope to the other walkway that led to the stairs.
OoOoOoO
"Are you alright?" Kasuka said grabbing Izaya's arm to turn him towards him.
The dress stuck on Izaya flowed around him and almost made him fall down due to his foot catching on the edge of the dress. Izaya ripped his arm away from Kasuka and pushed him away. Running up the stairs he tripped over himself, causing himself to be caught in Kasuka's arms.
"Izaya, we're not safe here!" Kasuka whispered in Izaya's ears as he lifted him into his arms and walked up the stairs with a struggling Izaya.
OoOoOoO
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats." Kadota yelled to the distressed crowd.
Everyone stopped and looked at him, some not even bothering to move.
"Do not panic." Walker helped out hushing the crowds that talked among themselves. "It was an accident ... simply an accident. The young man is okay and there was nothing in this room. It was all a trick of light!"
Walker and Kadota looked at each other and sighed when the crowd listened and sat back down, leaving a hush in the room about them lying.
Me: Shizuuuuuuuuuuoooooooooo I want you to give me a piggyback ride.
Shizuo: Why should I give you one?
Me: I got cake and a Izaya pillow to go with it!
Shizuo: I'll take the cake but take the flea pillow away, I can already smell his stench coming off of it!
Izaya: That's because I'm here eating sushi and bothering her!
Me: That's right! Izaiza decided to keep me company today!
Izaya: I said bother not keep company! Allena isn't as easy to get angry then most humans.
Me: That's because I learn to relax and not let Izaiza's words get to me.
Shizuo: Get out stupid flea!
Izaya: So harsh Shizuo! I know you love me, why hide it!
Me: Exactly now you two need to admit your love for each other and kiss!
Izaya: No.
Shizuo: HELL NO!
Me: Awwww… Just when I thought I was so close!
