"So I just gotta not take a hit from a demon and I'll be fine?" Jack asks.

"Precisely." Shinobu replies.

"Why can't Ekoro do the job if I go mad?" Jack asks. "I mean she is an angel, brimming with angelic power."

"While that is true, in your case it has to be done by your lover." Ekoro explains. "Love, combined with angelic power proves more powerful than just angelic power alone."

"I see." Jack replies. "That won't stop me from doing what I've been doing."

"I shouldn't be surprised. Stubborn til the end." Shinobu chuckles as Jack gets up.

"If I do go crazy, promise you'll be the one to deal with me?" Jack asks.

"You do not need to ask, silly boy." Yukina giggles as the two share a kiss.

"Even as a resident from hell, I can't help but awe!" Kurona chuckles.

"Well, it is getting to around noon. Who's hungry?" Jack asks.

"Who's cooking?" Shinobu asks right back. Jack then looks at Yukina and they both nod with an idea in mind. The two quickly prepare, with Jack grabbing a few loaves of bread and Yukina firing up the stove and cooking up what looks like ingredients for yakisoba. Jack then slices the bread just enough to fit something inside, and once Yukina finishes on her side, the bread is stuffed until finally, six tasty looking yakisoba sandwiches are presented to the group.

"I've never had these before, where did you learn how to make these?" Shinobu asks.

"When my parents were too busy I would sometimes make these if I was hungry." Yukina replies. "They enjoyed some of these themselves."

"And after spending so much time with Yukina I grew to like these as well. First time I had one was on our honeymoon." Jack adds.

"Oh I can't believe I forgot to ask! How was your honeymoon?" Ekoro asks. "I was just at the wedding venue."

"We went to Italy." Jack says. "Yukina was always interested in the rich and refined culture so we decided to go there. She got to flaunt her fancier outfits there."

"And we wound up making yakisoba sandwiches out of their bread and what noodles they had. What were they called? Angel's hair noodles?" Yukina muses.

"WHAT?!" Ekoro suddenly screams, startling the couple. "They use ANGEL HAIR in their noodles?!"

"No no no no no that's not what we meant." Jack chuckles. "Angel's hair just describes how thin and long the noodles are. Besides you have blue hair."

"That doesn't mean there aren't blonde angels out there!" Ekoro replies. "I know one angel who will take so much offense to that."

"Bad wording by me..." Yukina says sheepishly.

"All that aside what else did you do?" Maya asks.

"Oh we did so much there, I can not even remember it all! Making pasta, visiting festivals, seeing operas, oh my it was absolutely wonderful there!" Yukina says dreamily. "And I got to experience it all with this handsome young gentleman right here." She adds, holding Jack's arm affectionately.

"Awww!" Shinobu coos as Jack and Yukina share another one of countless kisses.

"Well, we can't just leave these around! They'll get cold!" Jack chuckles as everyone, including Ekoro and Kurona, grabs a sandwich and chows down.

"Oh man that is tasty as HELL! Definitely better than that Wacdonald's crap!" Kurona says.

"If the food is so bad that it gets demons sick, I'm pretty sure it deserves to be closed down." Jack chuckles. "When are we going to sue the place?"

"The Jinbos probably got her letter and are already doing it for us." Shinobu laughs as Yukina nods in agreement.

"If everything goes well, we could be seeing a sum of a few million yen come flooding into our bank accounts." Yukina replies.

"A few MILLION?!" Shinobu asks, absolutely blown away.

"Of course we'll split it equally amongst the four of us but yeah, I'm just as blown away!" Jack replies. "What are they suing that could get us so much yen?!"

"Many things." Yukina replies. "Unsafe work enviroment, hazardous food, beyond unsatisfactory service, I could go on but that would make up a whole checklist of what my parents are suing Wacdonald's over because that is not the first time I have complained about the place. I only ate at the place in the mall because Shinobu-senpai suggested it and I did not want to turn her down."

"Oh please, you don't need to call me senpai." Shinobu says. "But I appreciate the respect and thought!"

"That would definitely secure penthouse payments, not to mention the money we sometimes bring home from individual demon hunts." Jack says. "We wouldn't have to worry about payments for at least a few months!"

"Oh man, what have I been missing out on in heaven? These are so good!" Ekoro says, taking one last bite out of her yakisoba sandwich before popping the rest right into her mouth. It's not long before everyone finishes up and Maya senses something off.

"What is it Maya?" Jack asks.

"I sense yet another demonic presence. We've got more trouble!" Maya replies.

"Kurona, Ekoro-" Jack gets cut off.

"They understand what's going on." Kurona replies.

"I'm still using the excuse of human research." Ekoro replies. "We'll help you out, and should you go mad, I'll be the only one that can provide the means of stopping you."

"You're right." Jack says. "Let's move out!" He shouts as Yukina throws off her cast.

"Got it!" The others reply as they make their way to the balcony and Jack looks at Ekoro.

"Got enough magic to save us some time?" Jack asks.

"I should have enough." Ekoro replies. "EKORO MAGIC!" She shouts, and angelic wings materialize on the four demon hunters.

"Let's go!" Shinobu shouts as the demon hunters divebomb towards the ground, pulling up at the last minute before spotting the horde of demons that Maya had sensed earlier. The four come to screeching halts and strike poses as they do so before the wings dissipate. Ekoro and Kurona quickly join the two as the angel whips out her twin pistols and the demon conjures up her spear.

"Let's raise HELL!" Kurona shouts, aiming her spear at the demons, who look forth in surprise.

"By the power of heaven, I shall banish you!" Ekoro shouts, taking aim.

"Let's make this quick!" Shinobu shouts, aiming her mini uzi.

"You just messed with the wrong group!" Jack shouts, pulling out muramasa.

"Let's go!" Maya shouts, preparing her origami shurikens.

"We shall be victorious!" Yukina shouts, preparing her dart launcher.

"CHARGE!" The demon hunters yell as they engage the horde of demons with everything they have!
