[quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio noticed that she had hit a tumbleweed with her Hado. This immediately caused her to focus again, catching up to Shou's movements. Rio observed Shou as he used a Hado to increase his speed. Without any thought, Rio flicked the hilt of her Katana up, using both hands on her sword to push it towards Shou's, clashing with it. Pushing her sword against Shou's with equal force as him, her eyes slid down to look at the boy's face before she spoke, calm and collectively. Rio watched him but despite declaring the end of the spar, she held her stance and sword firmly against his, just incase he refused to finish and tried to pull a surprise move. Rio had learn alot from this simple spar with Shou, one being that this boy was full of surprises.... [/quote] As Shou got to Rio he found his blade locked against hers and just as he prepared to activate the next part of his plan he heard her speak and declare that the spar was over, this made Shou frown slightly as he pulled his Zanpakuto away from Rio's then dropped down to the floor and sheathed it as he then crossed his arms, his back faced to Rio. He wasn't angry that the spar was ending, he was angry he didn't get to win the bet...he wanted those piggy backs and wanted them badly, hence why he was pulling everything he had out
