A/N: Hello there! I chose the second-to-the-least shipped GoMKagami pair (last time I checked), that's why this happened! I suck at humor. I'm sorry, I tried (T^T).

Read the warnings please! Thank you :)

Prologue

"meet the Demon Lord"

Really, it wasn't supposed to be like this.

The swirling mass of distorted light and color was making his head churn. It was adding to his discomfort, considering that he was floating aimlessly in that abysmal space. And he can't even move at all. Because he was trapped. In a toy, that is.

How the heck did Kagami Taiga, dubbed as the respected 'Carmine Demon', end up as a fluffy, palm-sized, black striped red tiger plushie?

Kagami completely blames the whole 'heroes-versus-demon lords' dynamic, by the way.

Hell, he was just doing his job- manage his land with the citizens living in sheer terror. Kagami was a fearsome ruler, but his subjects didn't hate him. In fact, his citizens were perplexed as to why he didn't act all demon-sy and be evil and be whatever demonic stereotype they had complained about. Sure, he did his fair share of terrorizing, and sometimes he would host a quarterly, city-wide potluck, which clearly made no sense to his citizens (with some even doubting his origins as a demon). Kagami just shrugged the complaints aside. Well, though he wouldn't like others pointing it out, he is an idiot. And besides, his people were kind of liking his management (and cooking) so he stuck with it.

However, he discovered that there were other people even more idiotic than him.

It was roughly two centuries later of his fearsome yet peaceful rule. He was about to host his 802th potluck when a foreign hero and his team of four mages (whose names Kagami entirely forgot) entered his territory. The sparkling hero stormed his deluxe castle and seized control, announcing to "free the citoyens from the cruel clutches of the Carmine Demon's claws". In which, Kagami almost clawed his face in annoyance. There goes the stereotyping again. Man, cliches were irritating.

He was about to explain that his people were, in fact, not "entirely" oppressed. However, luck seemed to be on the idiot hero's side, as he and his companions entered the kingdom riding on a sled pulled by three massive dogs, which was sadly the Carmine Demon's weakness (due to a traumatizing yet embarrassing incident in his younger days). Kagami ended up rooted on the spot, fear suddenly coursing in his demon body.

Taking advantage of this unexpected turn of events, the self-proclaimed hero of the masses had his team of mages trap Kagami and seal his powers. A combination of giant dogs and four powerful mages were too much for the demon to handle, hence he ended up yielding, much to his chagrin. His demonic powers were slowly sapped out, and he was transformed into a black-striped, red tiger plushie. And to completely seal the deal, he was thrown away in what they demon-folk call the Chasm, an isolated dimension perfect for imprisoning away weakened demons, which Kagami was in his stuffed toy form.

And so myriads of years passed. Since being trapped in the Chasm, Kagami 'Carmine Demon' Taiga slowly tried to regain his powers in order to escape his imprisonment. Lots of time and distances were the key for spell breaking, his mentor once said. He hopes he had drifted far enough in the Chasm away from those annoying white mages. Sheesh, they only won because dogs were with them.

Tired, weak, and nauseous, Kagami small and doubtlessly cute form continued to drift around. Everything seemed static yet warped at the same time. The atmosphere was thick and heavy, and Kagami only managed to survive for long without sustenance is because of his toy form. Gradually, the length of his stay in the Chasm slowly weakened the seal of the mages, a sign that about seven millennia or more had passed outside. He managed to accumulate enough power to force open a gate to escape.

Temporary regaining his normal form, he used all of his acquired power and summoned a huge ball of dark red flames (hence his title) and blasted open a section of the Chasm. A hole of piercing white light emerged from the resulting attack. Kagami dived in for escape, more concentrated on escaping immediately rather than worry about the ruckus his attack might've made.

Bright light soon enveloped the demon, warmth slowly cocooning his body. It felt so, so relaxing. Kagami felt his eyelids grow heavy, until they were completely closed. Having all his strength drain away, he transformed back into his cute stuffed tiger form.

But the rift in dimension he made did not necessarily lead up to his desired place; his country that is. Instead, the bright white tunnel he crossed had ended at someplace entirely different from where he came forth. Someplace where magic and demons are figments of fiction and often use for anime inspiration.

It was 21st century Japan.

And so it begins.
