The Dark Throne (The Dark Series #3) - MAJOR EDITING

Chapter 14 - The Oath

At that time, the rain was pouring so heavily in the night. So heavy as it was like able to melt everything who touches it. But not for one person, or...for one demon. With his piercing silver eyes looking at the dark sky. He was just finished killing his prey and obtained her soul. He looked at his fallen prey and with his cold eyes said...

"Stupid human" He cynically said and walked away from the woman, letting it rotted by itself. To him, it was normal for a demon such as himself to killed a human. After all, he already gave her everything she wanted to but in exchange, he wanted her soul. Unfortunately, the woman still wanted more and causing him killed her in instant. In his mind, human were such a selfish little creature who never satisfied with their needs. But still, he needs them to satisfy his need. Eating their soul was part of his meals.

Fortunately for him, as a demon-he had such a good looks. Topaz hair color, pair of silver eyes, perfect body figure, very tall, everything. Every time he walk around, women particular will be looking at him and he will just waiting for one of them to come at him and offered them, their soul to him. In his mind, no one will ever resist his beauty, until...

"Hm?" He spotted on a young girl under a tree. It's already dark and quiet late and it's also raining. He walked towards the girl. "Hey" He called her and she immediately looked aside to him, revealing her chocolate color eyes, dark brown hair color and she was wearing a simple red t-shirt with blue jeans and she was...crying. He kneel on one knee to her. "What's wrong?"

"Eh? N-Nothing" The girl immediately wiped her tears from her face.

"Really? With you crying, something bad just happened, no?"

"...Yes, but I don't wanna talk about it. Nothing will change even if I told you" The girl said.

"Well, it's not like I wanna know your problem too. It's none of my business" The man countered her but the young girl did not countered him back. After few minutes of silent, the girl looked at the man. Examining him. "What are you looking at?"

The girl paused for a moment, she was like trying to search for the right words to tell him. "Um, onii-san? You're...a demon?" The girl asked innocently, causing him to looked at her with a shock expression on his face. But in a minutes, he wore his usual calm and passive face.

"You can tell? I suppose you're not a usual human for you to be able to guess on what I am"

"It's not like that, it's just...I already met...some non-human beings so I can tell just by looking at them. That's all"

"I see" He wanted to ask more but he did not want to as well. But one thing for sure... The little girl hold the soul he desperately wanted to take. It was delicious and he want it. Now, he have to made her offered her soul to him willingly. Forcing someone to give their soul to him was not his way. He then stood up. "Well then, I should be going now. Hurry up and go home. A brat shouldn't wondering around this hour" He said and walked away from her. Before he went far, the girl stood up and chased him.

"W-Wait!!" She shouted made the man stopped and looked behind him. "Um, can I know your name, onii-san?" She asked, timidly. The man was confuse of why she wanted to know his name. He always gave people another name. He did not want humans to know his real name. But in the corner of his mind, he wanted to let her know his real name.

"...Jin. Kuga Jin is my name" He finally told her, his real name. He didn't know, the name just slipped from his mouth. Normally he will tell people other names besides his real name.

"Jin..." She said and then she smiled at him. "Nice to meet you, Jin-kun. I'm Janne. Sakurazuka Janne. Hope we'll be seeing each other again" Janne introduced herself to him. The man only nodded and walked away from her. He still couldn't understand his action of giving a human his real name. No. Jin immediately knew Janne was not a human. He knew she was something else but the person haven't realize about herself.
