[quote=Kurisa] Kaizo listened to Rio then nodded "I see. Well then come into my office Lieutenant." Kaizo walked to his door and opened it and held it open for Rio "After you Lieutenant" waiting till Rio entered Kaizo would follow behind then walk around to his desk and sit down behind it "Now. This new person. What of their skills? I trust your judgement to allow them to join is fair but what I must know is do you believe they have any potential to succeed? After all we need strong Shinigami in this Squad and if this person will show potential then we will both be training them to make sure they succeed here..." [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] Rio walked into Kaizo's office after he held the door open for her, reminding herself of the important points that she needed to bring up during the conversation. She stood in front of her Captain's desk and waited for him to take a seat and speak before speaking up herself. [b]"Nohime possess great strength, resolve and potential which she had shown to me during her spar with another Shinigami, Eiichi Taichou... However, a problem arose, which I felt that we needed to discuss."[/b] Rio cleared her throat before continuing. [b]"Indeed my decision for accepting her was made fairly, however it was also for the safety of others. While observing the spar between Nohime and Eiichi, the first thing I noticed was her reaction to her spar partner being male... At first she was extremely hesitant to fight him, cowering away if you will. But, once it came to the moment of actually beginning to fight, her persona changed to one of aggression. As a side note, she did tell me before-hand that her Zanpakuto was in the form of herself. Upon continuation of the spar, Nohime disregarded what I had said about not wanting them to turn the spar into a fight and how I only wanted to see some of her skills. She thus proceeded to try and harm Eiichi, in which I had spotted, however Eiichi was handling the situation well. I understand that I should of ended the spar much sooner than I did, that was my mistake and I'll accept responsibility and punishment for it if you see fit. Anyway, the second Eiichi feel to his knees from exhaustion, I immediately stepped in and was prepared to subdue Nohime... However upon seeing me, despite already launching for Eiichi, Nohime instantly ceased all action and returned to her previous state. I of course scolded her and after informing Eiichi to rest, which he ignored, I took Nohime to my quarters to discuss her situation and my analysis of the spar. It appears to me that she could be a threat to male Shinigami which was obviously brought to my attention as an important issue. You may be wondering why I had accepted her, the reason is simple, to keep her from harming any other male Shinigami within the Seireitei. If I did turn her away, the likeliness of gaining an unexpected and unjustified tragedy would be too great so in my efforts to make sure that is prevented, I decided that I'd like to train her personally to control herself or find her a suitable female mentor who understands her situation in order to ensure the safety of others. Of course you'd be training her also if you wish to keep her, but I'd like to be sure she'd be able to control herself around other male Shinigami, especially those within your Squad. I do not wish risk the life of any other Shinigami with this domain. On the other hand, I understand that this is not a decision for me to make and so I have also informed her that I will discuss her situation with you and that you have the final say in what happens. Whatever you choose, I will respect and follow. To summarise, that is the issue along with my thoughts. What is your decision on this matter Captain?"[/b] Rio bowed after speaking, raising while patiently waiting for the Captain's verdict. She had said all that she could, now it was up to the Captain on what to do next. Whether Rio agreed with him or not, she'd follow whatever the Captain decided.
