[u]Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru Hari[/u]

As Fumio was on his way to Chie's room, he sensed Aya. [i]'Hmm, looks like you go to her first~ Must of been in a hurry heh heh~'[/i] He grinned as he still made his way towards Chie... until he heard the voice of a certain someone.

"Prince... You haven't changed..." A woman's voice, someone he knew too well.... Fumio clenched his fists, his teeth quickly gritting. [b]"You didn't help stop this... It's... your .... fault..."[/b] "... You're blaming the wrong person... I tried to help... but she caught u-" [b]"NO! SHE DIDN'T CATCH YOU DID SHE?!"[/b] Fumio swung himself around to look the woman dead in the eyes. [b]"[i]Ronda[/i]"[/b] He seethed through grit teeth.

Rio's mother Ronda looked back at Fumio, her face showing concern and guilt. "I-I'm sorry Kazuhiko..." [b]"NO YOU'RE FUCKING NOT! YOU USED THEM TO COVER YOUR OWN TRACKS!!! I was forced to watch EVERYTHING and turned into... into THIS!!"[/b] Fumio continued to clench his fists before opening one and placing it on the hilt of his Zanpakuto. [b]"You're the reason my parents are dead... [i]Prepare... To DIE![/i]"[/b] [b]"Kazuhiko...."[/b] Fumio's faced abruptly dropped from furious to surprised when Souta appeared right in front of him, the guy's eyes watering however he tried to conceal it. 

Noticing Fumio's expression, Souta's eyebrows raised in confusion before looking behind him. [b]"Ronda? What are you doing here? I thought you were training..."[/b] He asked, Fumio calming himself down, however still giving Ronda a death glare from behind Souta.

Ronda crossed her arms, her face neutral... The resemblance between her and Rio was uncanny... "I just thought I'd see Huerona, just to ask how she was doing." She answered calmly. Souta turned to the woman, shifting a little uncomfortably. [b]"Huerona... said that she wants nothing to do with you... I... don't think it'd be best to go and see her"[/b] "I'm her mother. I don't care whether or not she wants to see me. Tell me where my daughter is right now." Fumio's glare intensified after hearing what Ronda said, the latter however focused on looking at Souta, awaiting an answer. 

[b]".... She's in the bamboo forest... She said she had business to attend to and not to bother her unless it's important..."[/b] Sotua stuffed his hands into his pockets and sighed. "Thank you. Goodbye" Ronda turned, making her way to the Seireitei exit. 

Once she was out of sight, Souta turned to Fumio. [b]"You feeling better?... back to normal?"[/b] Fumio snapped his head towards Souta's voice, his expression softening. [b]"... I am... I'm sorry Souta... But you know it h-" "Had to be done. I know... It shouldn't have to.... be this way but unfortunately it is... However, let's just not speak about it anymore... Okay buddy?"[/b] Souta gave Fumio a small smile, which the latter returned. [b]"Agreed"[/b]
