 Shortly after the attack three months ago and learning of Kenta retiring, Rio had a talk with both Kaizo and her Captain since a huge shift came into effect in regards of positions within the Seireitei. Rio had taken the new Captain of Squad Two's offer to become his Lieutenant, after she had a talk with her Captain Kuchiki about the proposition. At first, Rio was reluctant to leave her Captain, but as a little time went by and Kenta's replacement claimed his spot, Rio made the decision with working alongside Captain Kaizo, however she did visit Squad Six often, just to have a chat with her Captain from time to time... No matter what Squad she was in, Captain Kuchiki would always be her Captain... But Captain Kaizo was her higher priority.Usually one would find it weird to be taking orders from a spouse, but that wasn't the case with Rio. She obeyed Captain Kaizo and would still work to gain his respect, just like she did with Captain Kuchiki. What felt weird for her was the fact that she was in a different barracks with different Squad members... She had a new room and was in an area that was still slightly unfamiliar to her. To others, she'd look comfortable and settled, but really Rio was still trying to get used to things.... Get used to not having her best friend around or sticking closely with her Cap-... with Captain Kuchiki.... Stopping, Rio reached her Captain's door, knocking on it three times to await for Captain Kaizo's voice to grant her entrance.... She waited silently, as patience and professional as usual.

Kaizo sat in his office, it was odd...being a Captain...he was now in charge of people, however he was sure this was just a phase...he'd get used to it. Just as Kaizo thought this he heard a knock at his door and sensing who it was he perked up a little, looking up to the door and preparing himself he then spoke "Enter" this was another odd thing...working with the love of his life was definitely odd but it was nice also...going on missions with her was something he took pleasure in...however it did scare him...he couldn't help but think of the worst...He could protect her but what if there came a time he couldn't? This was half the reason he requested her as his Lieutenant...she could work hard and she was smart but also so he could train her and help her get stronger...perhaps one day she'd become a Captain also and that thought made him feel at ease...knowing she would have become so strong...it was really all he wanted now...
