[quote=Expllo] As Kenta was about to reply Hikari had walked into the room rubbing the back of his neck, he then closed the door. Hikari wore a new Shihakusho, the third time changing that day. First training with Tabo, then the Captain and Lieutenant level Adjuchas, the fight he just had.....He was beat, and wanted to rest but he showed no signs of it. It was for Kenta, and he wasn't going to run out on him....Not again. Kenta gazed at Rio, "Looks like we won't be able to continue our talk..." he said. Kenta thought as he walked to his desk and held up the piece of paper with the layout of a building, "I can't give you all the details on what's going on.....But I will tell you this: A Squad six Shinigami is being held captive here and is thought to be being experimented on. But we can't go into this with a large group, otherwise the captive will be killed. The reason I chose you two is because I trust you both, even though you aren't in Squad six Hikari." Kenta took a breath and then began explaining the plan on breaking out the Squad six Shinigami. Afterwards he grabbed his sheathed sword and put it around his back, "There's no backing out of this one either.....I doubt that you will back out, but just in case you try to. As your lieutenant Rio, I'm ordering you. Hikari, I still have authority to lock you up for your Hollow." Hikari didn't take the threat too seriously, or more so he saw the point of it. It was pretty serious if he had to be that harsh, but exposing his Hollow in front of Rio?....Well, Kenta trusted Rio not to tell, he knew that. So he didn't think too much of it.*TS*Heading out they had left the Soul Society and headed into the desert, soon entering a forest. Deeper inside the forest was what seemed like a fort but less.....Secure. Kenta hid behind a tree looking out at the place, "Just follow my lead, be as unnoticeable as possible," Kenta said before he suddenly disappeared seemingly out of nowhere, but that was just how silent he was mixed with his speed. He was already heading towards the entrance, Hikari lowered his energy until it was barely there and followed Kenta hopping Rio followed closely behind, unless she also pulled a Kenta. Once they were at the door a guard had walked towards them in which Kenta did a flip and landed behind him silently without him noticing, then delivered a hard kick to the head which should have sent him flying but instead the guard just dropped. Kenta then headed inside and kept his back to the wall, as the others followed he whispered to them, "Every fourth corner there's a camera, and every second corner there's two Guards. Hikari I want you to destroy the cameras while me and Rio run alongside you, Rio me and you will take out the Guards, we have to do this fast before the alarms sound."Kenta and Hikari nodded to each other then they ran out, Hikari taking out the first camera. As they passed the corner there were the first two guards, the one heading towards them and the one heading towards the other side of the hall. Kenta kicked the one heading towards them off his feet and before he could land struck two fingers to his neck causing him to pass out, Kenta then caught the body and gently laid it. He left the other Guard to Rio. [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] Rio waited for a response from Kenta, but instead, Hikari entered the room, attracting both of their attention. Kenta then spoke but Rio didn't respond, she only narrowed her eyes at Kenta, her arms crossed. [i]'We will continue our talk and you will answer my questions... Later'[/i] Looking over at Hikari, she uncrossed her arms and gave him a small smile out of politeness before walking over to Kenta. Standing close to the layout of the building to be infiltrated, Rio analysed it and listened before her eye slowly widened. [b]"...From our Squad?... How could we of not noticed one of our own go missing?"[/b] She looked up at Kenta with a concerned look, remembering that he said that he couldn't give out too much detail.... She didn't understand why he couldn't but she had faith in Kenta. If he thought that'd be best then she'd certainly roll with it. Rio then listened intently to the plan, thinking of possible back-up plans incase a possible problem arose.... Reaching both hands up, Rio made sure her swords and sheaves were fixed properly in place on her back before looking at Kenta with an immediate scowl, that quickly lightened up as she started talking. [b]"Kenta, I can't even believe that you'd consider me even thinking about trying to back out... You've known me long enough to know that you're more than just a Squad Lieutenant to me... You're my closest friend and we've been though alot... I'm loyal to those I'm close to, you already know this. No matter what, I'll be by your side and I'll stay there until the bitter end... even if it costs me my life"[/b] Rio smiled before her eye darted to Hikari. [b]"... Hollow... huh..."[/b] The image of Kaizo surfaced into her mind.... causing her to look down clearly saddened. [i]"KAIZOOOO!"[/i] Rio shut her eye close for a moment, releasing a breath before opening it again and following Kenta. She just needed a moment to get Kaizo out of her head... ---------- Rio followed closely behind Kenta, making a note of her surrounds along the way. The second Kenta stopped, she did and took cover behind a tree beside Hikari, entrance in sight. As usual, Rio kept her eyes and ears pealed. She watched Kenta make his move, disappearing herself while compressing her spiritual energy as much as she could to stay virtually unnoticeable. She stood back as Kenta knocked out the first guard, inwardly complimenting him on his technique. Rio then followed Kenta inside, Hikari behind her. She made sure to stay close to Kenta, but not too close to give him and herself some room. She listened to Kenta whisper and his plan, grabbing her left sheath with the sword still inside. Following Kenta's lead, she ran across the opposite side of the hall, directly in front of the guard to catch his attention. The guard instinctively reached out to try and grab Rio, which was what she wanted. Before his hands could land on her, she shunpo'ed and use the back of the hilt of her Zapakuto to deliver a hard and precise blow to the back of the guard's head, knocking them out instantly. Acting quickly, she span around the guard so that he gently landed on her back as he feel forward. Once she caught him, Rio titled her body to sit the guard on the fall against the wall before returning to Kenta, ready to continue.
