[quote=Kurisa] Kurisa stood in the underground training room that laid under the Squad 6 barracks, he stood with his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he waited for Rio to wake up from her Shikai interaction...she was in a bit of a sorry state but this was the least of Kurisa's concerns. She would not die off so easily but this wasn't really what he thought or felt he just figured she'd make it through despite her wounds. However. During this time Rio had been in her inner world Kurisa thought a little more about things...more or less what he could do to further enhance his kido skills and even combine them with his Hoho skills but this was somewhat difficult...as it took preparation and then countless months to years of training to even slightly grasp such a concept and make it reality...and then the perfecting came...but Kurisa was a patient man so this was not worrying at all...all things take time and nothing is ever done so quickly... [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] With her conscious finally returning into the real world, Rio's eyes began to flutter, but then she winced. The stinging pain from her right shoulder didn't disappear, but it did dull down slightly. Her left foot was also still aching from being hit by the Captain's Bakudo. However, all of the aches and pains weren't unbearable so Rio slowly began to sit upright, rubbing the back of her head where it hit the floor. [b]".. Dammit"[/b] she seethed under her breath. Her eyelids gradually raised, revealing her plum irises. Reclaiming her vision, she took the time to scan the room, remembering where she was. As her eyes landed on Captain Kuchiki, a quick smile took over her lips before she forced it to disappear and forced herself to stand up, making sure to mask the pain she felt as well as she could. [b]"Thank you very much Sensei. I've finally acquired my Shikai and made contact with my Zanpakuto's."[/b] she glanced down and tilted her head downwards when she felt the smile try to attack her straight face. [b]"Also, thank you for taking the time out of your scheduled to train me. And thank you for making sure we weren't interrupted again. Overall, I'd say that this session was a success."[/b] once Rio fought away the smile, she lifted her face once more to glance up at her Captain, awaiting his next orders.
