She was surrounded by red. It swirled around her, calming her. She had no idea where she was or why, she didnt even remember who she was. She was just a contiousness surrounded by red. Faintly she heard the voice of someone she thought she should find familiar calling to her from far away, but she couldnt define any words. She pushed it from her mind. She let herself fade into the sea of red all around her, it was her favorite color after all.<br/><br/>Reiku smirked as she heard the voice in her head.<span style="color: red">"A conversation and a battle, arnt i popular...And I've only been here for 5 minutes"</span>She ended in a chuckle, as she spoke Reiku's true voice faded, leaving just the deep growl which didnt suit her mouth at all. Reiku furrowed her brow as she felt another voice try and reach out to -Her-. She diverted the voice away from her, if she woke up now they would both die. Reiku sprinted away from the crashing pillar, moving faster than ever before, despite the slime still numbing her body, irritated she didnt have enough time to destroy it right now. She had to focus on those connected to her mind. She seethed at being called weak, a trait shared with -Her-. She shrugged it off and spoke aloud, making sure it was audible to all parties listening in.<span style="color: red">"Reiku isnt here right now, dont try and reach her. She is in no state to fight right now and i dont feel like dying...and Lizard, she is in no danger, she is no good to me dead"</span>Reiku stood up straight and started shaking her right hand violently. Thin tendrils of shadow started to form at her fingertips, growing in length untill they were coiled up on the ground, about 8 feet long. Reiku hopped backwards untill they were streached out at full length. The ground they touched was scarred instantly, leaving terrible burn marks wherever they were dragged across.<span style="color: red">"However these pillars are an obstacle i wont be walking away from"</span>She twitched her fingers to make sure each of her tendrils was as responsive as it should be, and waited for the pillars to attack again, ready to counter-attack this time.
