[quote=Kurisa] Kaizo looked at Rio as she said it wasn't the man she had been fighting...this made him question who had done this to her and he instantly felt a little angry but he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he didn't want this being taken out on her as it wasn't her fault...she had asked him not to get angry either which was something he would respect and go along with. As Rio opened her eye Kaizo's eyes widened "H-Huh?" Kaizo stood there stunned before hugging Rio then speaking "Why did this happen?...how did it happen?" [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] Rio stood in complete silence, gulping while keeping her gaze facing the floor. Two arms suddenly pulled her into a hug which surprised her but she gently hugged back none-the-less. [b]"Um... well.... It's a long story...."[/b] Rio looked away from Kaizo, wondering which would be the best way to explain the situation in a way that it didn't seem too bad... Unfortunately, she couldn't come up with a way but still decided to gave it a shot regardless... [b]"... It happened after you left... I was being hunted down by my past and it caught up with me heh... hm... Long story short... My right eye was pierced with a crystal... but the oddest thing about it is that I haven't lost my vision... In fact, my vision has gotten a heck of alot stronger in my right eye due to the crystal... However... I know it looks bad... which is why I should be wearing my eye-patch...."[/b] [i]'Dammit Neil...'[/i] Sighing, Rio pulled back from the hug while closing her right eyelid to look at Kaizo. [b]"So um... How have you been?... I see you're looking better than you did when I last saw you during the Arrancar attack..."[/b] Rio lifted her left arm to hug her right arm to the right side of her body before looking down at Kaizo's feet. [b]"Hope you're well Kaizo..."[/b]
