Disclaimer: No, I don't own any of these characters (save for Kina, Kaname, Yuki's mom, Mizu... some one else...). Hell, even Yuna isn't mine. She's a friend of mine's character who nagged at me to put her in here..

"So..." Ryuichi spoke slowly "You want me to jump into a portal that will take me into an unknown region of hell, a chaos and fire dimension... fight my way through an unknown amount of demons, to the Demon Lord's castle. Where upon I then have to break in, fight through the elite guards, so that I can gt into the castle and search for Eiri Yuki and some kid, and then drag them out... all without getting killed?"

"Basically." Kina replied

"So, this is a suicide mission?"

"Practically. I suppose you could see it like that."

Silence.

"Sounds good. I'm in." Ryuichi replied "But why me?"

"Because, next to Eiri, with your fire magics, you're one of the most powerful warlocks on campus. And... being an Eiri-fanboy, I thought you'd jump at the opportunity."

"So... why me?"

Ryuichi's and Kina's eyes went to Yuna who stood in the corner, looking out the window.

"Because." Kina said, sighing in annoyance "Ryuichi needs a way to get there and back and since I am unable to acompany him. You, with your ability to create portals, were the logical choice." She glared angrily "And... it was your impulsiveness and your need to appease Eiri that got us all in this mess in the first place."

Yuna shrugged.

"True."

Ryuichi shifted in his chair, tilting his head back, his brown hair brushing gently across his cheek, fiddling with a bright pink bunny in his hands.

"Kumagoro has a bad feeling about this." Ryuichi said

"Kuma... Ryuichi-san... you do realize..."

"Kumagoro says that this whole thing is giving him a tummy ache."

"He doesn't know, does he?" Kina asked Yuna

"I don't think so."

"But Kumagoro is worried about Eiri, so we'll do it."

"You can't be seriously planning on taking that damn thing with you... can you?" Yuna asked

"Of course! Where I go, Kumagoro goes!"

"Ryu-chan–."

"KUMA-HUGGLES!!" Ryuichi shouted, shoving the stuffed rabbit roughly into Yuna's face "Do not try to resist the huggles!"

"Ryu! Can't! Breath!"

"Feel Kumagoro's love!" Ryuichi shouted, shoving the doll even harder.

Kina sighed, standing.

"I'm gonna need a drink."
