When Ruby brought his attention back to the fountain that was there when he first arrived in the Omniverse, the demon noticed that it had actually changed into something else entirely. A frying pan, oddly enough. While Ruby continued her explanation about why she was crying, Rin could only think about the fact that she had actually gotten something important to her, instead of just the thing she created first when she first came to this world. After she finished her explanation and remembered his challenge, he quickly changed gears and got ready to run as she squatted down to do the same. Then there was the countdown. 3... 2 1! The demon didn't expect the last two numbers to come so fast, so Ruby's plan worked about as well as she probably hoped it would.
She had a big head start, and was running a bit faster than she was in the Steppes. But this mattered not, as the demon slowly began catching up to her when he started running as fast as he could as well. Then he suddenly flew past her when she suddenly began slowing down. "You'll never win if you slow down like that!" He shouted back with a smile, but soon after he did, he saw her begin to collapse. Immediately, he stopped running towards the gate, and started running back to his partner. He managed to get there just in time to stop her from slamming her face into the ground, and was relieved that he was able to get there before she had. The demon let out a sigh of relief as he set her on the ground and leaned back to rest for a moment.
Sitting still turned out to be the worst thing he could've done, however, as a massive cat suddenly lunged at him and knocked him to the ground, pinning him with it's massive paws. Rin was paralyzed for a moment, but when he looked into it's large... Smiling face? Another flash back occurred. This time, it showed the same large cat that was pinning him right now attacking a bridge, and Rin trying to talk to it. In the end, whatever he did worked and they both became friends. As the flashback ended, most of his memories about the cat came back to him, and he couldn't help but shout. "Kuro! Why are you here?" He asked the beast.
"I don't know, but I'm happy that I finally found you!" The cat sidhe shouted back. Rin would've continued catching up with the creature, if he hadn't remembered that he had an unconscious Ruby to deal with.
"Sorry, Kuro, we'll have to talk later. I need to get this girl through that gate over there to try and find some help." He pointed towards the gate that they were headed to, and Kuro gave him a grin, as if to say "leave it to me!" The cat picked Ruby up and placed her on his back, and Rin jumped up on his own. He knew he could move fast, but he also knew that Kuro was able to move a lot faster back in.. Wherever he came from. The beast crouched down, and flew forward soon after. His speed surprised both him, and Rin as the gate quickly grew closer.
"I don't know if I can stop myself in time! Where do I go?" He asked, as the gate was almost upon them. The guards there saw the beast, and were already beginning to move out of the to avoid being crushed.
"Just run into the light!" Rin shouted, and just as he did, Kuro was able to make the adjustment needed so that they wouldn't crash into the gate itself. A flash of light was the last thing they saw before they would be at their next destination.
