I closed my eyes, releasing his shoulders.
Otherborn.
The word whispered through me, and I realized I'd heard it before, from Kanna's lips. ALl the secrets, all the puzzles, they were starting to come together now.
Fight off the demons? Banded together? It sounded right. Demons...
I hadn't thought of that answer, just honestly had not. Part of me still wished to disbelieve, but I'd seen too much to be able to.
"A demon... you think that... a demon killed Kanna..." I closed my eyes. "Crossings... coming from there to here... what happens if they make it to the other side? If no one stops them...?"
I noticed, on the periphery of my vision, the sadness of the little boy; I didn't know what it meant, but perhaps... perhaps he knew of demons, as well? I turned to the green-haired man. Is that what he was as well? An Otherborn? Was that where his abilities had come from?

I think about what the man with glasses said, 'Crossings...' Is that what happened to me and vulcan? Could it be that i went from my own home to here because i crossed? Would I ever be able to see mama again? Thoughts crossed my mind faster than I could collect them, and once again i drew blanks.

"Yes... A Demon makes the most plausible choice," I nod and then frown to myself. "Well... If a Demon makes it here they've always got a goal and it usually ends up with destruction... Nothing is safe from the as long as their allowed to roam! As Otherborn its our job... No, its our birth right to stop them at all costs. We must protect the weak and have no choice but to vanquish the evils... In short we're like the knights of the world stomping on the Dragons... But this time... The dragons are endless..." I take a breath and allow them to take in what I just said.

This is about as much as I can take. I try to hold back the tears. I know they don't mean it about me, but I am a demon. The word plays in my head once more, 'Vanquish' I start to run away with tears in my eyes and don't bother to look back nor look both ways as I cross the street. I don't notice the car coming my way and as a result the car swerves and the tip of the car just barely manages to hit me. However, it hits me with enough force to send me flying head first into a wall. I only have a few scratches and a bump on my head but at this point, my horns are completely revealed for a brief second while my hair falls back into place. I lose my composure completely and begin to cry loudly, all the while holding on to vulcan.

"H-hey!" I called after him as he left. "What...?"
I turned to Sininen. "I... I'm sorry. I have to..."
Then, without even completing the explanatio, I followed. It was like this that car accidents, that problems, that other such things took place.
I didn't know that right at that very moment, one of the strange happenings I'd learned were called 'Crossings' began to open near Zatch's feet, spreading outward from between he and I. I didn't even see it; I was focused on finding him, so focused that I didn't feel the shiver as the glasses began to render me a virtual shell and blend me in with the encroaching Otherness...

"Wha-what? Whats happening?" I back up slowly while I see this...thing, happen before my eyes. I'm becoming quickly scared and i know it. I've never seen anything like this before but, I feel something, something familiar, and yet somewhat intimidating emanating from it. My body begins to shiver and I nearly drop Vulcan.

((If you're from the otherworld, that actually doesn't make much sense - a Crossing makes the real world look more like the Otherworld.))

((I'm referring to the rip itself. Zatch wasn't conscious during his crossing, the blending of the 2 worlds is something zatch is new 2. he recognizes the world inside its just he doesn't understand whats happening))

I skidded to a stop in front of Zatch.
"Oh no," I whispered to myself, hastily drawing the sword I created earlier out of the pouch at my side.

A lot was said just now... It happened really fast, too. I had a blank expression. This was all weird... Was I an Otherborn? Or maybe... no, I couldn't be a demon. Zatch and Hara-kun had run away. I turn to Sini. "Where... did they go to?"

Even from here I could feel the crossing and I frown to myself, "N...? They need help, c'mon!" And I take off running, making sure to have my sword in my hand as I go. There is no way that I'm leaving those two alone to fight on their own, that's not what friends do!

I nod at Sini, though he'd already gone. I take pace after her, feeling a bit of the exhaustion from earlier. But I still had some energy. I caught up with Sini, and we then caught up with Hara-kun and Zatch. It was giving off a bad energy, it was making me feel sick. But it was similar to earlier, with the demons. "S-Siri... What's happening here?" I ask, placing my hand over my stomach, hoping it would settle.

"Seems like a crossing... Be on guard everyone," I hold my sword at the ready.

I nod. I had taken down a swarm of them earlier with my powers... But I nearly passed out from it... I shouldn't overdo it too much here.. I look around for some plants... Moss, growing from a nearby building. I can feel it pull towards me as I motion it. It approaches slowly, floating above my palm, a large, green mass. "I think I'm ready to help... friends."
