Chapter four: Lord Goki
The weather is colder than the last two weeks, a young woman sat at the door at the porch to see the falling rain hits the green leaves of the trees and the shrubs in a small garden. A cup of hot tea is on a wooden round table in her room is sharing with Chifuyu.
'How long have I been here? A month?'
"Kagome" The demoness put a pack of cloth on the floor.
"Hn" A navy blue yukata girl turned around to see her roommate who is a demoness.
"Aren't you a human and don't you eat food?"
"I'm not hungry yet and thank you, Chifuyu."
She got up and stretched her body. "May I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Who is the lord of this castle?"
"Nobody tells you?"
"No"
"The lord of this castle is Lord Goki. He is a great dog demon."
"A great dog demon?" The girl tried to figure him. "What does he looks like?"
"He is tall, strong and handsome."
"Aha"
"He has a long brown hair and two black strips on each cheek."
"Mmm"
"Eh?"
"I'm just tried to imagine his look."
"Oh! But he is kind and charming but he is in awe of the power and the favor."
"It looks like he is old."
"Yes, he is over two thousand years old."
"Wow!"
A golden brown hair demon walked around his castle in the morning late to check the area and his servants after Seijiro told him about a human girl and her secret. He saw the girls and the men surround something and made his way toward them.
Every artery and nerve is tensing while every pair of eyes glared to each other and the hands. The lips smile evilly and the male sound rang her round ears.
"Lost for me, Kagome"
"Are you sure?"
A pair of emerald eyes stared at the paper cards on their hands and looked back at the human who sat on a chair and turned him her backside.
'What is it?'
"Royal flush!"
"Ah!"
"Pay me, Ken-san" A girl bares her palm.
"Alright"
"What are you doing?"
"Whao!, Goki-sama"
"Eh?" Everyone sat on the ground while a man dragged the girl to sit beside him.
"Tell me what do you play, human?"
"We played a card game."
"What does it call?"
"Poker, my lord"
"Go back at your work and you" A demon lord pointed at her. "Come with me"
"Goki-sama, please leave her a day"
"She is good event if she is a human."
"Shut up" The dog lord turned around and walked back to the castle.
A demon roommate touched the girl's shoulders and held her hands. "Kagome"
"I will try my best to beg him. Wish for me, Chifuyu, Tora-san."
A quiet and peaceful tea house is in a private garden near the brilliant castle. A raven hair girl sat silently on the wooden porch at a rice paper door. A great demon lord glanced at the human and says.
"Why don't you come in?"
"I…I…"
"Hn?"
"I'm sorry, my lord. I know that it is a gamble but please leave me a day and I swear that I won't do it again."
'What does she think? Does she think I will kill her?'
"Come in, Kagome and don't make me repeat myself."
'Eh? Look like I had been heard this word but when and who.'
A girl felt an evil aura from her lord and gazed at his emerald eyes. "Yes, my lord. I'm coming."
"Sit at this table and show me your game card."
The school girl put the played cards on Kotatsu.
"Tell me the rule and how to play it."
"Yes, my lord"
…
An assistant name Kobomune arrived at the castle in the morning to inform the Dog lord about his master schedule while he visits here. The servants of the castle heard the good news and send the messages to their intend ladies about his news.
"How long have he will be here, Kobo-chan?"
"Well…Kobomune, my lord" The kamaitachi wants the demon lord changes the way he calls him. "He will be here for three days."
"Haah…So short" The demon lord got up and looked outwardly a window. 'Long time no fun with the pup' He turned around at a rice paper door. "Ibu"
A head of servant slid opened the door and bow at him. She waited for a new order quietly on the glossy wooden floor.
"Prepare the party"
"What's kind of the party, my lord?"
"Partner selection"
"But the lady won't allow this" Ibu thinks the Lady of the west will conclude about this too but she does not hear her letter.
"Don't worry. This is a small party to welcome my lovely nephew." The dog demon smiles equivocally. "Announce to the ladies that the party will be held on tomorrow in."
"…Yes, my lord" Her playful lord always cross the problem for his relatives and the western lord is his direct nephew one he loves the most.
