[Quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio's smile grew a tiny bit, but more sinister than anything else. "I see~ Well, I did try taking two pills once to see if it'd help, but my medicine was stronger than silly little me assumed, hence why I fainted outside your office~ I wonder what would of happened if you didn't find me~" Rio took a couple steps forward, softly placing both hands on top of Kaizo's desk while leaning forward a little, her smile worsening into a subtle, devious grin. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised, you are indeed a powerful man~ However, that begs the question of how powerful exactly? Do you consider yourself to rival other Captains such as the Kenpachi of Squad Eleven? You have some history with Shiro, don't you?~" Rio asked before chuckling breathlessly and pushing herself off of Kaizo's desk, covering her mouth as she chuckled before looking at Kaizo, still with that same red glint in her eye. "I do wonder how much you've improved since I'm so very proud of you Kaizo. Even after how much my heart ached during your disappearance, how much I feared that you had died due to hearing absolutely nothing from you heh heh~... Even after all of that anguish, I care so much about you, I love you so deeply and honestly don't understand what makes you so different from everyone else~ But I guess my heart sees something in you that my mind doesn't understand~" Rio spoke while chuckling, a cheerful expression on her face as if what she was saying was causal small-talk. "And I see, well, I'm glad to here everything has been running smoothly, I could say the same for training here also~ And now now, a simple headache is no excuse for time off. I am a Lieutenant, it'd be ridiculous of me to let a headache get in the way of my work, wouldn't it Captain?~" Rio looked at Kaizo with a half-lidded eye and simple smile, almost smirking. [/quote] Kaizo continued to look at Rio, growing more and more suspicious of how she was acting...in fact the way she was right now he wouldn't say she was anything like Rio...even the expression she carried was far different to any Rio would have. Hearing her mention Shiro and question how strong he was caused him to chuckle "Shiro and myself haven't fought in a long while...I wouldn't know who is stronger..." Kaizo looked at Rio, looking at her without breaking eye contact "Well...that's interesting isn't it. You missed me so much and yet you can't understand why your heart ached while I was gone? So you are telling me that as you stand here right now you do not understand why your heart feels the way it does for me?...I must say...that sounds worrying [i]Rio[/i]. It's so different to what you say sometimes, where you know why you love me and yet now you don't? it's as if you are two different people in the same body" Kaizo then sat back in his chair and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand and closed his eyes "It's truly confusing yet I've noticed this sort of behaviour for awhile now...it seems it came on when these headache's came to you and as the headache's got worse" Kaizo then opened his eyes "this odd behaviour has gotten worse and more noticeable...perhaps I have been looking into it to much...or did you think I'd just overlook that fact and think I wouldn't notice? Because you know...right now...I don't feel as if Rio is standing infront of me...this feeling is uncomfortable and I'd even go as far as to say you are an entirely different person...So how about we quit the games here and you get right to the point? how about telling me what the hell is going on?" Kaizo then narrowed his eyes at Rio the look growing serious and cold
