Chapter 7 And then there was 4

10-4-2036

(Takes place at Kumo's house)

Riku continues to ring the doorbell, "Why won't she answer?"

"Who knows. But I'm not staying out here," takes out a key and unlocks the door, "Nimbus!"

The walked around the house looking for Kumo but she was no where to be seen. Her house was pretty extravagant for someone with bad luck. They heard grunting coming from upstairs so climbed the winding staircase. The doors were all labeled with the contents it bore. They continued down the long hallway which seemed to never ending and went on as though magically adding on more doors. They heard the grunting and now whimpering as they went farther back.

"Hey look that one says Nimbus' room," says Riku pointing to a door that was straight down at the end of the hall. They ran to it and opened the door.

"Hey Nim are you okay?" asks one of the girls running over to Kumo who still lay on the floor.

She turns over and yawns, "Hey what's up?" she smiles and a twinkle shows in her eyes.

"Hey Nim you look different. Are your eyes pink?"

Kumo sits up and looks in the mirror, "So they are. Hmp." she lays back on the floor.

"Are you forgetting what today is?" asks Riku.

"On no! It's Kumo's birthday. Nefarious tell her I'm so sorry and happy b-day…….she still hasn't awaken. I guess we kind of did come and speak all in a rush," she laughs as she continues to talk.

"Um…who are you talking to Kumo?"

"Oh my bad I was thinking in third person. But, no I didn't forget today. We're supposed to go shopping. Am I right?"

"Yeah, so get dressed will ya so we can go," they all leave her to get dressed.

"Great stupid, you nearly blew our cover Cloud. And don't call me Nefarious. You know she used my name to sign that letter and if the had fount out you would have gotten her in a whole lot of trouble," says the over voice of a girl that sounded just like Kumo but went by the name Nefarious.

"Sorry I didn't mean to blow it I got carried away," says the girl that occupied Kumo now that went by the name Cloud as she pulled out a dress, puts it on and heads downstairs, "Ready.'

"Good let's go," the girls drag the Kumo occupying girl shopping.

(Inside Kumo's head)

For inside of a head it was quite different from others. Kumo had 4 personalities. Kumo, herself who is also the original. She was altered but you'll learn about that later. Nefarious is the oldest and wisest of the 4 and the strictest and meanest. Nefarious has the power to make Daisuke turn into Dark. Cloud is the party girl who likes to have fun and go to wild parties and do wild things. Cloud has the power to turn Dark into Daisuke. Nimbus is the youngest of the girls. Shy is shy and scared of both Dark and Daisuke and anyone else not a personality of Kumo's. She is the only one that knows all about Kumo and how she works but she is too shy to even tell the other personalities anything.

"Wake up Kumo!" yells Nefarious.

"She won't wake," says Nimbus shyly.

"And why is that?" she yells at Nimbus.

"Um…." She backs away stuttering.

Nefarious notices markings in between Kumo's legs and looks at them, "On? Does that mean…" she stops midway and looks at Nimbus.

"He has to stick his in there. Other wise she won't wake up and if anyone sticks it in there that isn't the one will shut her down forever," she stays away in case Nefarious decides to swing or hit.

"God! Kumo is becoming quite the nuisance," she sits down and looks at the markings as if something new wood appear.
