He turned around a swift, sweeping motion ,his back to me, to face her. The creature the girl had now turned into stood still for a second, staring through him, all traces of being human, gone. The eyes which it stares through are now blood red and pupil less, spit drips from it's mouth, full of teeth longer than hammering nails. I swallowed, I was so scared I forgot to breath, I froze up. Suprisingly, I wasn't scared for me, oh no, I was way past that stage. I was scared for the stranger standing between me and that thing. He'd be dead in an instant. That was the simple truth. Time slowed to a stop. I didn't want to see it. It would be too bloody, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from him. We'd die. Both of us…at least I wouldn't be alone. This stranger would be with me. "Sorry…" he muttered, "I don't feel like dying now". My eyes widened. Did he…could he hear my thoughts….? Or was it a coincidence…?
Out of nowhere a gun appeared in his hand. He raised it level with the creature's head…and pulled the trigger. Blam!

I kneeled on the floor. The blood all around me, not a single drop on me. I couldn't take my eyes off of the corpse…of a normal school girl. "Why…?" I started, "Why did you shoot her?!". He looked at me with cold eyes. "She was a demon". "She was a kid!". His gaze on my faced softened. "That's why you're an Angel. You're too kind". "Huh?". What was he saying now , it didn't make sense. "You're mine" he said the second time tonight, "you're my Angel". Suddenly I didn't think he meant it as sweet talk . I think he meant I was an actual "Angel? Me? You're joking". He shook his head. "Let's talk somewhere else". He held his hand out to me. I could think off about two hundred reasons why I shouldn't do it, but I took his hand any way. His arm slid around my waist, I opened my mouth to protest but in the next second… we were in the air. We were actually floating above the school. I stopped moving, knowing that if he dropped me I would absolutely die. "How is this in any way possible?" I gasped looking below. He lowered me down to the roof of the school.
"What you saw just now…is proof that demons are real. That hell is real" I just gaped "that girl had tampered with an Ouija board and this is the result. She got possessed…and she attacked you". I found my voice " why did you save me?". "Right now, you're frail and breakable. You needed saving. Besides, I need you". "Why?". "Because you're an Angel" he said so naturally that it took a while to realize that this was not a normal thing. I decided against telling him again that I was no Angel and instead tried something else. "Why do you need an Angel?". He fell silent, his dark eyes wandering on the street below. Then he answered. "I haven't told you yet what I've done for a living". "What does this have to do with your living". "A lot". He looked me in the eye. "Sakura" I flinched . How did he know my name? "I'm a murderer". Oh God. "It's what I do. I kill people for a living. I've killed loads of people. Hundreds. Even the innocents. And I never felt a thing…my training forbade remorse, you see?". I was hyperventilating again. "My sins…are too much. I believe in hell. I've always believed in hell. And I continued killing knowing that no one I killed went to hell. But I would. I'm not even dead yet and I'm going there". I twitched. "What do you mean?". He cocked his head "being a demon gives you some advantages. Super strength, speed, flight. Some other stuff. Satan himself is after me, and you are the only thing in his way".
I pointed to myself in disbelief. "Yeah, you. Because you're an Angel". "In case you didn't notice, I haven't got any wings". "I don't have any horns". He had a point. "The big guy up there" he pointed up, "sure is a merciful old man. He made a way to keep rotten apples like me from turning into full mega demons. There must be a source of good with me, that'll act as an anchor. My anchor is your soul". "My soul…" "You're a person with a really pure soul. In fact, you were born just for me. That's why I was able to find you, and that's why, to some extent, I can read your thoughts. Sakura, you're my Angel, I'm your Devil". I looked down, a bitter smile gracing my features. "I'm not so pure you know. If you don't think I know hate, you're wrong". He just stood up and said, "you're my Angel, I know it".

I had returned to the party, and acted like nothing at all happened. Sasuke ( I asked his name before he left) got rid of the corpse and blood. I didn't ask questions, just did what would seem normal. I went home early , right after they gave me some alcohol. I used it as an excuse. I was teased about having a weak stomach but ,hey, I didn't care.
I took a shower as soon as I got home, I put on my sleeping cloths and jumped on my bed. I suddenly felt weight on my bed and I swear my heart stopped. I quickly recovered though and threw something at the offender. "Don't do that!" I hissed at Sasuke. He ignored me and stroked the sheets instead. "Cotton, right?", "Don't change the subject". He gave me a playful smirk daring me to try to take control. Of course I couldn't. I was slowly getting used to things. Sasuke was there now. He was also probably going to become part of my daily life too. Demons, and Angels will probably also take up some of my time. His eyes travelled my room. His eyes stopped. I followed his gaze. "Those are all fake" I said. He was staring at my small weapon collection. I had collected a wooden mace, a Chinese short sword, two kunai, a pair of nunchucks, a shuriken and a knuckle held knife. "You have an interest in weaponry" he stated rather than asked. He lowered his eyes to the next shelf. "Hm…the whole Twilight Saga as well as a mask and two creepy music boxes. You're a little odd ball, aren't you?".
"Ouch" I clutched my chest as if in pain, pretending to be offended. He didn't mind me. He just kept smirking to himself. He stood up from the corner of the bed and went to the window. "I've got work tonight. I'll see you tomorrow" he said. "Sasuke!" I started, "isn't your job…you know…bad…". He stood still a moment, "I'm still working things out, I have to go" and with that he leapt out of the window. I ran to the window, looking outside, but he was nowhere to be seen.
I plopped down on my bed, and turned off the lights. I sighed and settled down into a ball under the blanket. I slept badly that night. I woke up quite often, panting and sweating. My nightmares often consisted of those demons, haunting every corner of my mind. I'd wake up with their faces freshly imprinted in my mind…

I didn't pay attention to the lesson at all. I just stared out of the window and thoughts of Sasuke crossed my mind. Half of me thought he was a dream. The other half of me thought I was thinking what I wanted to think. Either way, I was quickly reminded that he was not a figment of my imagination when he passed me in the hall and passed me a note . Meet me on the roof it read. Ino cast me a worried glance as I turned whiter than a sheet. "Hey, what's wrong, Sakura? You've been spaced out recently" she said, poking me gently. "I'm ok, trust me" I said casually. She wasn't fooled but she let it go.
Finally school ended. I grabbed my bag and ran to the roof. As soon as I got there I saw Sasuke sitting on the roof. He tossed me something shimmering. I caught it without a thought. I opened my hands and saw…a delicate ,heart shaped, silver locket with the letter S engraved it. "What's this?" I asked holding it up. "A present". I paled, "this isn't from…your job is it?". Sasuke turned to me "don't worry, I bought that". "Why?". "I'm courting you". "WHY?!" I nearly shouted. "It'll have a good impression on your parents, and that way, I can spend more time with you. Besides, it would end up this way eventually". I felt myself go red. "The S stands for Sasuke…?", "It can stand for Sakura if you're more comfortable with it" he said, taking it from me and fastening it around my neck. "Don't worry, it'll be a cover story for now. As my Angel, it's my duty, in exchange for keeping me anchored, I'll keep you pleased". Ok I was sweating now as his hand brushed my neck. This was getting a little too close for my liking. "Sakura" he whispered in my ear. I nearly jumped. "Let's go on a shopping trip on Saturday. My treat". "Are you ok with that?" I asked. He smirked against me ear "my budget can take whatever you throw at it. Like I said, I'm here to keep you pleased". I swallowed and pulled away, "right, I'll tell my parents". "Good. I'll fetch you at ten Saturday morning. We should be back by four". I nodded and headed for the stairs. I felt dizzy. "Bye, Sakura" he smirked. "Bye Sasuke".
This wasn't so bad, I could live it. But if Sasuke puts his hand on my thigh again I'm so going to slap his little , duck-butt, hit man head into the next century.
