Disclaimer: As much as I hate it, I don't own Inu-yasha; Rumiko Takahashi does. However, I do own this story, so please don't use it or any of my original characters without asking and at least giving me some credit.

Attention: To all my loyal readers, this is a revised edition and I changed a couple of minor things. Mostly just slight details, spelling mistakes, and grammar mistakes. I hope you enjoy.

Devil's Advocate

Prologue

"Are you ready to accept my offer, Kagome-chan?" Kagome looks up from her Mother's bedside at the familiar voice. "Lucifer, it is you again." She bows her head with a defeated look on her face and he grins evilly at her suffering. "Of course it is me, sweetheart. Will you accept my offer? I will heal your Mother and leave her and the rest of your family in peace in return for your soul." She looks at the handsome man dressed all in black and with a black pair of horns on his head, the one who had been torturing her for so long.

She looks down at her Mother, then at the man, then back to her mother. Her face is wet from her tears and she starts sobbing. "Fine…I give up…you…can have my…soul. Just…please…heal my mother!" He grins and hands over a rolled up paper tied with a blood red ribbon. As soon as she touches it, it unrolls and a pen and needle fall out. "Just use the needle and sign in your own blood. That will seal the deal." She takes the needle, pricks her finger and her blood drips onto the paper. She signs her name and the paper rolls back up.

"Good. And, as promised, I will heal your Mother and leave her and the rest of your family in peace. As for you…You will come with me. You will corrupt many souls and make a beautiful succubus." Her eyes widen and she looks shocked. "I didn't agree to that." He has a superior look on his face and smiles at her. "Actually, little Kagome-chan, you did." He throws the contract into the air and it enlarges. A few sentences in the very beginning of the contact start to glow and Kagome reads them.

I, Kagome Higurashi, hereby sign over my soul and life to Lucifer. I freely give up my free will and freedom and will obey my new master. My soul is now corrupted and my master may use it for any purpose he wishes. I will be able to hide nothing from him, for he will know my thoughts before I do. I will forever be his and never be free of his rule. He is my…

She starts to sob even harder and Lucifer laughs. 'What have I done?' 'You, my Kagome-chan, have signed over your soul for the sake of your Mother. A very stupid thing to do, yes, but I, for one, am very glad that you made this choice. Now get up, it is time for us to go. I must get you trained quickly so that I can use you against a certain person.' He walks up to her and grabs her arm. They both disappear in a puff of smoke.
