CHAPTER 3: THE DEMON'S GAME

Kagome turned and saw a guy about her age. She thought that he was an angel sent from above, just like the character from the book she was currently reading. His long silvery white hair perfectly matched his cherubic face, his perfect toned body and his smooth baritone perfectly matched the characters appearance the way she imagined it.

This can't be. She thought. She slowly stood up, not tearing her eyes away from him. He's just as I imagined. Celestine – the angel the God's sent to Earth to protect a maiden's sacred soul. She thought and looked at him admiringly.

The guy looked around, until his attention drifted towards the girl in front of him. She was wearing a white night gown while hugging a book.

He noticed that the girl was looking at him lovingly and felt a warm aura emanating from her. Her blue eyes were sparkling; her dark locks were dancing along the wind that came from the opened window behind her. He felt his heart skipped a bit when he saw her smile slightly. She was like…

His eyes drifted towards the book she was hugging. The Demon's Maiden. He thought as his eyes widened for a second that even the girl in front of him didn't notice.

The author of that book was his deceased mother. It was about an angel who was sent by the God's to protect a maiden's soul from the demon who wants to have her. His mother's last novel before she passed away.

He stood firmly and looked at her eyes. "Where did you get that?" he asked coldly.

What? Kagome blinked twice and looked down. Oh! He was talking about the book! She thought. "Well, I um -" She was about to tell him when she heard him huff. "Well, it's none of my business." He said.

She gasped when the guy glared at him. She forgot that he was the same guy who barged in. Plus, she doesn't even know him. "Where is she?" he asked impatiently. I think he's quite the opposite of Celestine he's more like Rios – the demon who wants the maiden for himself. She thought.

She looked around. "Who?" she asked.

"Kagura. I know you're hiding her." He answered with narrowed eyes.

Kagome's heart skipped a beat. The way he looked at her made her shiver. Those cold eyes, it's scaring her.

"I'm sorry sir but there's no Kagura living here." She said calmly.

"Don't lie to me, you bitch!" He shouted and started to search the library.

Her brow twitched. Calm down Kagome. Try to hold your anger. The wrinkles – you don't want to have it. She chanted in her mind. She breathed and held it for three seconds before she released it.

"I'm really sorry but that is the truth." She said while trying to keep her cool.

He stopped by the window and looked at her direction. He studied her. She smiled, "Don't try to look cute. Ugly girl." he said.

She glared at him. "Why you… just who are you to tell me that I'm ugly?" she snapped. She'd been trying to keep her cool but this guy is pushing her to her limit. "I'm just telling the truth." He answered smugly.

He's totally pushing her to her limit.

She stomped her way towards him. When she got closer, she poked his chest - hard. "Who the hell are you? And how many times do I have to tell you that there's no Kagura person here?" she said angrily.

His eyes widened a bit. He never expected that she'd be upset so easily. He smirked inwardly. Oh yes, this is what he wanted. He wanted to know more about this girl, her expressions, everything about her. He felt like he was the demon inside the book who wants this pure maiden to be a participant in his own little game.

He heard her gasp when he pulled her closer to him. He gently touched her hair and smelled it. She stiffened. He smirked.

Yes, she would be perfect.
