PROLOGUE
Kiki quietly slipped down the hallway of the large castle, her chin length black hair damp from the cold sweat that had hit her. She was in the castle of the demon prince, Lord Kougaiji. She opened the door to a room with one of her hairpins, then spotted a sleeping man. He had long dark red hair and a fair build, from what she could tell. She blushed and walked over to him, gently leaning over him.
Wow, he's really handsome, she thought. He opened his eyes; they were red violet; and looked to her. She quickly jumped back from him, her blush intensifying.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you, but I was sent here to find something, and I just happened to find you in here and I think you're really good looking... you are going to kill me, are you?" she pleaded. He shook his head.
"No, I won't kill you. But tell me what it is you're looking for," he commanded. She nodded.
"It's an object owned by a Dr. Nii. She said something about it being seemingly unimportant, but it has great value... In order for her to get him to do something... I'm sorry I woke you, once again," she replied. He smirked.
"It's probably his stupid rabbit doll. You can take it if you want. What's your name, anyway?" he asked. She looked away.
"My name is Kiaria Kigarai, Kiki for short... a hired thief for Lady Akuji. I'm sorry for breaking in, and for breaking into your room. I swear I'll never do it again," she explained. He shook his head.
"Quit apologizing. My name is Kougaiji, by the way," he told her. She froze, her breath suddenly stopping.
I'm in the prince's room... Oh... shit... she thought.
