Katrina's POV-

I sat in the oak tree in my backyard, swinging my legs as I listened to my MP3 player, staring down at the pond below me. My mind was wandering back to the day in the forest, when I had met the boy. I smiled slightly, I knew exactly who he was, had known for quite some time. Never knew he would ever come to my little secluded town though, I thought that us demons here didn't try anything bad. After all, we live with the humans in this town.

I held back a snicker, I had never truly planned on kissing him, but it was a spur of the moment. I lifted my head, there was a scent on the breeze. Ah, yes, it was Kizu, he was here to bring me news on what the outsiders here were doing no doubt. I stood up on my branch and pulled my way higher into the tree until I poked out of the top of the foliage. The wind demon was there a few moments later, looking somewhat out of breath.

"Katrina, we have a perimeter breach with unfriendly demons. They're firing at humans, innocent humans. Jaece and Illiana are out there, fighting them back. We need your help with this one," He said quickly.

I quickly nodded and closed my eyes for a minute. Jaece and Illiana were two of my closest friends, if anything happened to them... I shook the thought from my mind and made my way down the tree quickly, basically jumping from branch to branch until my feet hit the solid ground. I then took off, reaching the house in a record time, climbed through my window enough to grab my katana off the wall above the window, and closed my eyes for a minute. "Kizu!" I called.

"Yes?" Came the response next to me.

"Will I travel faster by air or by land?" I asked, turning to look at him while belting on the sword.

"By land, the wind currents are getting messed up today," He responded quickly.

I nodded and dropped to the ground, landing lightly on my toes. "Go, get there as fast as you can," I said, and then I took off. I knew where I would find this battle taking place, it was where the rip in the seam was between the Ningenkai and Makai. That was where all of the demon's kept popping through.

... Okay, I guess before I get into anymore detail on this part of the story, I had better tell you why we kept watch over the seam. The Reikai had been getting to busy to monitor all of the seams, and my home of Bonner's was the last place you would expect a rip. We were a quiet town that was every child's dream of perfect. So Koenma never felt the urge to place guards on this rip himself. We didn't have to worry about it until late last fall when some big uglies started to pop through. Human after human had been killed, and so a group of us joined forces to beat them all back. So far we've been doing a good job about it, but bigger demons keep coming through, and we've been having higher and higher casualties.

We've already lost three of our best fighters, and I had a feeling we were still going to loose more.

Getting back to what was happening, I had finally reached the area where the rip was. Jaece was unconscious (I hoped she was only unconscious) on the ground, and Illiana and Kizu were putting up a valiant fight. I frowned when I saw that we were being over run, there were at least eleven different demon's here, all fighting against us. Damn it, I hate it when the odds are against us like this. Eleven of them, three of us who can still fight, I thought, and closed my eyes with a sigh. Things were not going our way.

I jumped into the fight, drawing my katana and fighting back a demon that was coming after Jaece's body. I somehow pushed that one back and into the rift between the realms, then took on another one. By now there was only six of them left, and something flashed to my side. Kizu and Illiana hit the ground, to exhausted to continue, and I gritted my teeth, pushing harder to get the demon's out of here.

I knew I wasn't going to make it when I started to get more wounds, the six of them ganging up on me. "Damn it all," I hissed, decapitating one but taking a deep shoulder wound. I fell to my knees, the world swaying before my eyes. Words that sounded like hissing dropped to my ears and whispered things I didn't understand. Laughter echoed around me, and I blinked, trying to stay focused so that I could continue to fight back.

A swirl of black dropped in front of me, followed by a boy in magenta. I was confused, who were they, what were they doing here? I could see that they quickly killed the rest of the demons, but when the magenta boy crouched down to ask me something, all I heard was gargles and the sound of blood rushing past my ears. Things began to dim and I felt my eye's close, all the while wondering deep in my mind what exactly was going to happen to me.
