She had begun running around her immidiate area, trying to find anything different about her surreal world. She heard a faint voice, slighty tinny, coming from nowhere in particular. Something about a lizard and a kitsune. The lizard! He was the one she longed to see, she was sure of it! But what was his name...A...Ark...but she couldnt remember the rest. She looked down as she felt a strange sensation over where her body should be. Black fur had started to appear in patches, though they were transparent and moved sligtly, as if they were made of shadows. She was so close to freedom...<br/><br/>Reiku scanned the room she was in. She sighed, nothing. She had one ice scroll left and she didnt want to waste it on breaking the latex that kept her from the upper floor. She leaned against a wall and thought for a moment on what to do. She heard The hyena's voice over the intercom, followed by Umi's.<span style="color: red">"So they have prepared a little nap time for me? Fantastic, the longer they keep my...ahh...<span style="font-style: italic">partner</span> uncontious the better"</span>she said with a sneer. Boredom overcame Reiku as nothing seemed to be after her. She huffed and sat against the wall. If nothing was coming after her it meant nothing needed to. She saw the latex stuck in her leg and everything became clear.<span style="color: red">"They dont need to persue me because they are already with me...clever..."</span>her body started to fade as she transformed into her shadow form, but she stopped, and resolidified before her transformation reached her legs. If she got rid of these now she would have nothing to do, also she needed a little more leverage if -She- came back, all it had to do was deny -Her- the shadow powers that would save -Her- and demant control in return for removing them. Besides she was curious as to what exactly these things did. She stood up slowly and looked down the hallway she had come from, then to the one opposite it. She thought for a moment.<span style="color: red">"Oh well...if they wont come for me, i'll go to them"</span>she said, running off down the new hallway.
