[Quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio chuckled a little, her smirk stretching. "Oh such a shame. At least we could say that Captain Kuchiki was stronger than you though, I've trained with him many times during my time at Squad Six~ He will always be the better one out of the two of you, despite this unfortu....-nate event..." Rio's smirk suddenly dropped as she looked down with a frown. "... I still can't believe that he's gone... Dammit, I mustn't... be ruled by my emotions... anymore..." She clenched her shaking hands into fists after her arms fell to her sides, still looking down as she spoke in a softer tone of voice. Taking a deep breath, she looked up with slight shock when her eyes reached Kaizo. "Kaizo... Is everything Okay?" She asked, blinking at his expression. "What are you talking about?... What makes you say that?... Two people?..." Rio cocked an eyebrow, unable to understand why Kaizo was saying this... "... I'd prefer not to talk about how I felt when you left... All that matters is now, the past is no longer relevant... However, I have no idea of what you're talking about Kaizo.... If anything you're worrying me... " Rio looked away, biting her lip in confusion before her eye slid back to Kaizo, the red glint growing stronger while a slight smirk jumped across her lips and her voice gained an amused tone. "Besides, I was thinking more along the lines of why do I care so much for a lowly piece of trash such as yourself, Hmhm~" Rio chuckled. "Oh you've noticed something about me have you? Hm? Headaches? Gee Kaizo, a headache is nothing more than a headache. It cannot alter a person's personality now so stop being silly~ I think you've been fighting far too much, someone's finally knocked a screw loose in your head it seems~" The more Rio spoke, the more sinister her smirk became, twisting back into a grin as her voice darkened. "If I'm not Rio then who am I Kaizo? Just look at me properly for a moment~" Rio stood back before doing a little slow twirl, posing a little each time she moved while still grinning and stopping to look at him. "I'm Rio idiot. But I'm not playing games~ Oh no, this is just a side of me that you've never had the privilege to see~ I try to repress this side, but throughout all of this mess, it's done nothing but grow stronger due to my bad decisions~ Getting involved with you is one of those decisions~ Giving a damn about that weak boy Kenta was another~ Caring about Captain Kuchiki only for him to die so suddenly and therefore impacting me strongly, was yet another~ Hmhmhm~" She chuckled once more before turning towards the door and looking back over her shoulder to Kaizo. "The past is relevant, very relevant~ I guess a certain part of me smashed when my mother died in my arms... She was a wonderful mother... who too made bad decisions... But that is irrelevant. Now if you'll excuse me, this office is making me feel claustrophobic so I think I'll take a stroll through the part of the woods we love so much~ You know, the part I unfortunately found you in~ If I don't come back well... that will be your issue to deal with~ No longer mine~" Rio then shunpo'ed out of the office. [/quote] Kaizo listened to Rio speak, she once again seemingly changed which caused his eyes to narrow. The way she spoke ended up causing a grin to form on his face as he then spoke "Well now, I don't care what [i]you[/i] think of me and what you say about me behind my back but at the end of the day I'm still [i]your[/i] Captain. I got to say....this side of you is pretty disrespectful..." Kaizo watched as Rio then shunpoed out of his office, Kaizo let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand as he then stood up "Well now...I guess there is only one way to settle this..." Kaizo looked down to his Zanpakuto then narrowed his eyes "I don't want to use you at all...let alone Shikai, and certainly not Bankai...especially [i]that[/i] side of you..." Kaizo took off his Haori throwing it behind him as he then clenched his right hand into a fist then opened it again "I promise I'll sort this out...it's what you'd do isn't it Kurisa?" Kaizo then let his right arm fall to his side as he looked up at his office door then suddenly he turned and slammed his right fist through the wall behind him blowing a massive hole in it as he then stepped out the hole "Get someone to fix that! I've got something to attend to!" Kaizo then shunpoed off as a few Squad 2 members looked at eachother with confusion. Kaizo proceeded to chase after Rio, heading for the forest he first met her in
