Shou watched his attack barely miss Rio, this made his eyes narrow slightly however they then soon widened as he noticed a Hado 4 coming right back at him, he barely had time to dodge which was shown by him jumping out of the way and getting a cut from the hado on the top of his right shoulder, He then rolled and during this roll he charged up a Hado 31 and fired it at Rio before getting to his feet and shunpoing high into the air in one swift movement, Shou then held his Zanpakuto horizontally and placed his left palm over the end of the blade as the Zanpakuto began to glow yellow as it then fired off a wide arc of yellow energy down towards Rio, aiming to hit her if she were to only slightly dodge the first attack

[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

[i]'Ability to preform surprise attacks, more quick thinking.'[/i] Rio moved both of her arms in front of her face in a crossed motion, blocking herself as she allowed the Hado to hit her. [i]'Well preformed technique with decent power behind it, another check.'[/i] Her arms smoked as she watched Shou quickly get onto his feet and shunpo into the air, following his spiritual energy to find him preforming yet another Hado. [i]'Hmmm...[/i] Shunpo'ing herself above the area Shou aimed at, Rio jumped higher, her right hand lifting her Katana high in the air while her left was off to the side. As she moved closer to Shou, Rio bought her blade down, aiming to clash with his sword. Her face still holding the same expression, utter calmness.
