[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

As Rio was getting closer to Neil, he opened his large fan, using wind to push her further into the air. Immediately, Rio blocked her face, criss-crossing her arms in front of her face as she flung her left leg down to steady herself in the air. She managed to stop herself from flying too far off into the air, during which she noticed Neil launch an attack. A sharp gust of wind was headed for her and although Rio knew she could dodge the attack easily, she didn't make any attempt to. [i]'Right... I can take this...'[/i] Rio held her guard up, allowing the gust to hit her head-on. Keeping her eye closed, Rio focused on keeping her body steady, making sure the wind didn't carry her further into the air meanwhile gaining bruises on her forearms from the force of the wind. It hurt a little, but certainly wasn't anything Rio couldn't handle. However, throughout all of this, there was one thing Rio had forgotten to think about... her eye-patch. She must of been so used to wearing it that she couldn't even feel the patch anymore, forgetting it's existence. As expected, the gust of wind carried Rio's eye-patch along with it. 

Shunpo'ing back down onto the barrack's roof, Rio covered her right eye promptly with her right hand but didn't show any vulnerability. One layer of crystal had already cased both Hana and Kan. [i]'Dammit... '[/i] Moving her hand, Rio kept her right eyelid closed before lifting her left palm. [b]"Hadō #31 Shakkaho"[/b] A red ball of energy formed in the palm of her hand before firing, heading directly for Neil.
