Blearily, cerulean eyes opened. The scent of smoke filled her nostrils and with a soft groan Kagome awoke to the sounds of the night and a cackling fire. Blinking away the last vestiges of sleep, Kagome sat up. She looked around the small camp site and vaguely wondered if the final battle had been nothing more then a terrible dream. She patted her self down and found no wounds but her stomach twisted in knots when she found her clothing torn with dried blood and she knew that it had all been real. A weight at her neck had her lift her hand to grip the chain that Shikon shards had hung before but instead found the full Shikon no Tama confirming her suspicions.

Curiously gazing around she found no one and attempted to remember what had happened. Glowing crimson orbs filled her memory along with a soft, seductive, wicked voice. She remembered demon and then she remembered the deal. Her heart had stopped! She knew it did! She died for a few moments but here she was alive and laying on a soft blanket that she did not recognize in the middle of the woods. Brows furrowed, Kagome curled into herself, bringing her knees to her chest as tears slipped along her cheeks. She had been on her way to hell. The thought had a soft shudder curl through her body and a feeling of dread settle firmly upon her.

Footsteps in the grass had her tense and she slowly turned her head upward. Cat-slitted pupils surrounded by glowing scarlet met cerulean. A smirk curled pale lips upward and the leather clad male crouched before her, setting aside a skinned and gutted rabbit. Kagome scooted away until her back hit a tree. She remembered the male as the demon from before but she did not know him. Sesshoumaru's words echoed in her head and her brows furrowed, "Demons are to be eliminated on sight for they cultivate and devour souls and they are nothing but bearers of harm and bad omens."

"What do you want?" Kagome asked softly, her chin wobbling. "Why did you come to me?"

"What I want now is irrelevant. I came to you because you are a miko and that is all you need to know right now." the demon murmured softly, his sinfully delightful voice sliding along her skin like silk. "Do you have any other questions?"

"What is your name?"

At that the demon chuckled, his eyes dancing with a dark amusement, "I have been called many things and will be called even more in the future." he murmured slowly. When he began again, his voice was softer, darker, and mite crueler. Shadows cast from the fire gave is beautiful face a devilish intent. He leaned closer and she could feel his breath upon her cheeks. "I am one of the Four." he began slowly, lifting his hand and caressing her cheek with clawed finger tips. She flinched away and captured her ebony hair with his fingers, holding her in place. "I am the Worthless. I am the Strength, Power, and Lust. I am the Carnal and Pleasure that man seeks and feels. I am the Lawless, the Immoral, the Dissolute." The demon moved loser, his lips caressing her ear and his voice was soft still, "They call me Belial and I was created after Lucifer and lead the angels of destruction but I will adopt the name that suits me at the time." Kagome's eyes widened in horror as he pulled away, the wicked light in his eyes turning malicious. "And you are Kagome, my Dilecto Servo, and per our contract... you shall do my bidding and cannot fight a direct order."

"N-no!" she whispered. "H-had I known I would n-not have done this! I would not have agreed!" she shook her head in denial and Belial tsked softly.

"Had you known my name you would have not entered our contract? I find that truly doubtful. Would you have willing tossed yourself into Hell?" he asked softly and Kagome could offer no answer. "You sold me everything to save your immortal soul but you are already damned. They made you out to be so pure but you are not. You are like all the others willing to do anything to stay out of the darkness."

"No!" she whispered harshly. "That's not it!"

His form remained crouched before her and he frowned, "Then what? Why?"

"To atone for the lives lost and taken."

Belial's laugh was full as he tossed his head back. When the laughter died down to chuckles, his eyes were filled with amusement, "Atone? You can try but atonement is just far off dream for the lives and blood on your hands."

"But I have to try!" Kagome responded, her own cerulean eyes flaring with anger.

"Ahh, Dilecto Servo, try as you will but salvation is not within your reach."

Kagome growled lightly, "I hate you, Belial, I hate you for this! Why couldn't you have let me die?"

He returned her growl, fangs barred, and pushed her up against the tree, his hands trapping her against his body, "Shh. Shh." he hushed lightly. "Because your purity is the sweetest siren song and it's call could not be denied. You will not call me Belial, Dilecto Servo, but rather Master and that is an order. Understood?"

Kagome's eyes were dark with anger but she softly responded, finding that she had to respond and could not refuse, "Yes Master."

Belial leaned forward with a smile that reflected his being, "Good, good girl." and then he pressed his lips to her temple before pulling away and poking at the fire, placing the forgotten rabbit on a spit and tending to her needs.

'Gome Yuki:: Alright ladies and gents! For those of that aren't demonologists, here is the run down. Belial is one of the four crowned prices of hell. He is third after Satan and Lucifer. He is the carnal aspects of man and makes life worth living. He is the "Worthless" as his name translates to. As stated in the Dead Sea Scrolls he is the Angel of Hostility and Leads the Angels of Destruction. As for why I have chosen Belial as Sebastian's original form - here we go. Sebastian is after Ciel's soul in the series. That lust, that want, that need is a carnal aspect that suits Belial fine. If Belial is that need then Sebastian embodies it because he covets - lusts - after Ciel's soul. I have taken artistic leeway in the sense because we have no clue who Sebastian really is. Latin is "tongue" of demons along with hebrew so we'll have a lot of Latin. I have also decided that Ciel might be in this one just not soon. I'm still iffy with this so tell me what you think?
