Inari and everyone else from Team MLIT were all in their team dorm as they spoke about different topics. They ranged from school work to their own personal lives. It was a lively conversation and even though the team has been through a lot together in their first year, they all started to get along rather than arguing all the time. Though, there were some acceptions when the topic came to Mission Diavolo. "Hey guys, when are they supposed to pick the people for Mission Diavolo?" Taison asked, sitting on one of the desk chairs to have some of his renowned tea,"I remember that we were all looking into it not too long ago."

"I think that they have already picked and I believe that they will be contacting the participants in the next couple days." Inari answered with a sigh while sitting on her bed,"It sounded interesting, but very dangerous."

"Yeah, people have died from this mission." Miyuki stated with a serious expression, crossing her arms while reclining on the other desk chair,"At least none of us signed up for it, right?"

"That is true. I know I didn't enter that." Leonardo replied with a nod as he sat on his bed."I would be stupid to go on dangerous mission like that when we don't know if the ruby even exists."

"True, however,  it does exist according to many hunters and the numerous amout of historical evidence." Inari corrected him,"It would be an interesting experience, but the mission itself is more trouble than the ruby is worth. Because of that, I did not enter it either."

Inari and the others then look to Taison to see that he gave a smirk to the trio since they wanted to hear his answer.

"Taison...?" Miyuki inquired with skepicism,"You didn't enter it, did you?"

"Oh i'm sorry, but I entered it." Taison admitted with a smirk, crossing his arms,"And just to make it more interesting, I entered all three of you in it as well."

"WHAT?!" Inari, Leo, and Miyuki exclaimed at the same time with their eyes widened from the news..

"You're kidding me, right?" Miyuki exclaimed, immediately standing from her chair.

"Why on Remnant would you do something so stupid?!" Leo shouts as he stands from his bed and grabbed and lifted Taison by the collar.

"Taison, how could you?" Inari questioned with a hurtful, yet saddened expression as she approached him with her hand clenching her pendent,"Why didn't you ask us first? You put out lives in danger by putting our names for this mission."

"Look, i'm sorry. I thought you guys would have wanted to." Taison cried out,"You all said how interesting it was and I took it to myself to enter us into it!"

Leonardo quickly released Taison after his apology as they trio looked to each other in dismay.

"That is true... We did talk about it a lot." Miyuki sighed as she sat back down on the desk chair,"Now because of him, one of us may be picked."

"Yeah, its possible but a lot of people entered it." Leonardo sighed as he sat back on his bed,"Hopefully, none of us got picked."

While Leo and Miyuki were conversing, Inari returned to her bunk and laid down to look at the ceiling in silence before she turned away from her team. She was not very happy with what Taison did, but she did understand his intention to do something for the team and it did not help with the present situation. Now, because of Taison, one of them can be picked to go on this dangerous journey. After a couple minutes of silence has passed, Inari decided to turn back to her group and sit up on the edge of her bed once she recollected her thoughts.

"Guys. If one of us is selected to go on this perilous mission, we need to promise each other that whoever goes does their best to return to the others that remain here, no matter what happens." Inari finally stated to her leader and her teammates, “I don't want to lose any of you from this mission."

"Yeah, I feel the same way, Inari.." Miyuki replied with a nod,"I don't want to lose any of you. We're a team and I know that whoever goes WILL come back, no matter what."

"Of course." Leo added with a nod and a smile,"We're all skilled students and there is no doubt that we wouldn't be able to return."

"I agree." Taison nodded in agreement.

Once everyone agreed, Inari's scroll pinged. While Inari unlocked her scroll and read the message that was sent to her, the heiress’ face was filled with disbelief before a sigh escaped her lips soon after. It was a message from Ozpin to report to his office because she was one of the six students to take part in this mission. After she finished reading it, she looked to her teammates in dismay.

“You were picked, weren’t you?” Miyuki assumed in an alarmed expression.

“…Yeah.” Inari answered with a sigh before Miyuki hugged her.

“Inari, I’m sorry…” Taison said with a saddened expression, “I know you can do this. You’re an heiress after all.”

“You’ll come back, I know it.” Miyuki added as she looked to Inari in their embrace, “You’re a skilled dust swordswoman and with your dust knowledge, sword skills, and high aura, you’ll definitely come back.”

When Miyuki broke their embrace, Leo them embraced her younger sister.

“’Nari, I know you can do this. You have a lot to live for and you still have a lot to accomplish. Like running our company in the future and finding our parents. But, most of all, being the second in command of our team and being my sister.” Leo explained as she held her sister tight before releasing her, “You’re a strong woman. Please come back safe.”

“I definitely will.” Inari answered with a sincere smile and a nod from her teams words, “Like we all promised, I will come back. No matter what happens. Like you all said, I have too much to live for and even though you guys won’t be there, you guys will be with me.”

Her teammates gave a nod and a smile as they helped her gather her weapons, extra dust supplies, and extra ammo along with other absolute necessities. After saying her final goodbyes to her teammates and accepting Tai’s apology, the heiress left her team dorm with confidence before she slowly became nervous as she walked to Ozpin’s office.

‘I wonder who else is going. Hopefully, there’s someone I know in the group…’ Inari thought with a sigh as she briefly clenched her necklace while she headed down the hallway,'But I have to remember. Whatever happens, I have to come back for my teammates' sake.'
