As they finished clearing the guards they left the place and made their way back to the Seireitei, C-Kenta made sure no one had seen them as they then entered Squad six and headed back to Kenta's office. Hikari had sat Kenta down in a chair, then turned to the clone Kenta, "Care to explain what the fuck is going on?" Hikari asked as he crossed his arms. Kenta tried standing but stumbled a bit causing Hikari to reach his hands onto his chest ad back lifting him up, "And where are you trying to go?....Wherever it is we're coming with you, you can hardly walk.""I'm going to the bathroom," Kenta said with a cough, "I really gotta shit....Unless of course you're all into that, hearing people-" he coughed again, "Shit out their colon....Don't know what kind of freak I would had become throughout that year." That was directed towards the clone Kenta of course.The room had filled with silence after that until Kenta spoke up again, "I'm fucking kidding people, that's disgusting," Kenta said with another cough as he shook Hikari off and leaned against his deck, "I know I can't walk, atleast let me stand and get feeling back in my legs.....Shit, was so willing to risk them before just for training, now I know how shit I'd be without them.""So you wanna know what happened?" Kenta asked, "A year ago when the Kaizo incident happened, I went out to try and find him....I wasn't trying to to fight him, or even bring him back. I was just trying to ask him a few questions, just wanted to know if he had anything to do with that Hollow attack. But on my way there I was stopped by some hooded guy.....Long story short I got poisoned and knocked out. Woke up and was on a table, being worked on like an animal, would rather not talk about that...." The scars around his mouth and cheeks said enough, "And if you're wondering where my arms were then you've been looking at them for a ..!" Kenta said, by the tone of his voice it was obvious he was upset. The clone looked at his hands sadly."I didn't know I was a clone until just a few days ago, after the arrancar attack actually...." C-Kenta said, "I had came down with a sickness, I assume it was like....A self destruct, from what I've seen in that lab, quick glimpses at designs. I assume I was made to do something and didn't go through with it, so I was set to....Die? But I think it failed and instead made me ill.""And of course, the two closest people to me didn't even fucking notice I was gone!" Kenta yelled, looking at Hikari, "You know I update my arms regularly, for my sister....And you didn't think twice of it?""I didn't notice until recently," Hikari spoke looking down.Kenta then looked at Rio, "And ! I thought you were my best friend, yet you can't tell me apart from a fucking clone!?" Kenta pushed off the table looking at the door, "You both can get out now!" he said to them, ".....I'm gonna have a nice conversation with this fake."

[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

Rio continued to complete the job that she was there for, following behind the group to make sure they weren't followed. It didn't take them too long to make it back, entering Kenta's office. Stepping into the space, Rio felt rather tense but weak at the same time... Her heart was speeding up gradually the longer she was in there... She chose to just lean against the wall nearest the door.

Hikari then sat Kenta down. Rio looked over and watched, crossing her arms while a frown rested heavily on her face. Hikari said something but Rio wasn't listening to anyone, only watching Kenta as he tried to stand but then Hikari stop him. A few tears pooled in Rio's eyes from seeing Kenta struggle... without any arms... but she wouldn't let them drop, instead she flicked her head in the opposite direction, looking away as Kenta made a joke... How could she even think about laughing and joking at a time like this?... 

Kenta then continued to speak, drawing Rio's eye back to him.... He then began to explain what happened.... Rio lifted her right arm which was the furthest away from the others and reached up to grab a handful of her hair, unable to hold her tears in any longer. Blood dripped down the right side of her face from under her soaked eye-patch as salty, clear tears streamed down the left. She kept quiet though, listening to Kenta.... How could she of not realised? After all of those signs that were so obvious to her now... She had been too busy focusing on herself throughout the year to even think about what Kenta may of been going through... She had notice that he, well, the clone had gotten sick, but she never had the time to pay him a simple visit... [i]'Where the fuck was I when all of this was happening?! I... I just... don't understand.... why couldn't I tell?!'[/i] Her head shot up suddenly, her eye staring directly in front of her when a realisation dawned on her... [i]'He... He went to find Kaizo....'[/i] A memory from when Kaizo left entered her mind... Rio was pulled into that thought for a moment, almost as if she was watching that moment... The moment when she had stormed into her room, distraught over Kaizo being chased out and become wanted... She had slammed the door so Kenta burst in, annoyed at the fact that she was disturbing his peace... But once he notice she was upset, he changed his tone and asked her about it, and mentioned Kaizo... [i]'I... I could of stopped him... I had the chance to prevent this! I let him go out there, it should of been me!... I let him slip through my fingers.... It's all my fault...'[/i] Looking down, Kenta's raised voice rang through her ears as he snapped at Hikari before turning to her... Rio's tears continued to pour while she looked down, defeated. Never before had she felt so helpless... Again.. She was useless... Kenta then yelled at them both to leave.... 

Rio wanted to say something, but her mouth refused to open once her eye landed back on Kenta again.... [b]"... As you wish"[/b] Was all she could manage before she opened the door. She didn't know what to do in this situation... What could she do? Kenta was right, he had a perfectly good reason to yell at her.... Rio stood with the door open, waiting for Hikari.
