[quote=Kurisa] Kaizo watched Rio as she seemingly changed drastically then he heard her voice within his mind causing his eyes to widen then he felt her hand gently touch his chest and before Kaizo could do anything his mind went blank and when he opened his eyes he was within some odd world, he sat up and looked around and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand "Where am I?" Kaizo then got to his feet as he noticed the large lake infront of him, he walked up to the lake and looked at it noticing it's mirrored surface "What is this place?" Kaizo's eyes then widened when he heard Rio's name being called by two unfamiliar voices however the voices seemingly carried panic which in turn caused Kaizo to panic, noticing the voices coming from the lake confused Kaizo as he looked around panicking "What is going on!?" Kaizo then looked to the lake and grit his teeth "Wherever this is it aint normal!" Kaizo then took a deep breath and went to step into the lake and go deeper to try see why he heard Rio's name being called from the lake [/quote] As Kaizo took a deep breath and stepped into the lake, he'd find that under the so called 'water' he'd feel absolutely nothing.... No wetness, more an airy feeling, as if he stepped off of the edge of a cliff of some sort. However, before he was able to see the dark abyss below, he'd feel someone roughly grab him by his right shoulder and pull him out of the lake before throwing him back, aiming to throw him into one of the many thick trees surrounding the area behind him. Upon looking at the culprit, Kaizo would find a woman that looked identical to Rio, the only differences being that both of her eyes were normal and held a red glint, as well as where Rio would have hair-bands, she didn't, letting her short hair rest on top of her long hair. [b]"[u]Don't you dare![/u]"[/b] She spoke fiercely, her voice also identical to Rio's, or more the 'bad' Rio he had been facing. She glared at Kaizo with hatred, both hands balled into fists. [b]"You're in my world now! I don't know how you were able to come in here, no doubt that [i]thief[/i] had something to do with it... Either way, this is as far as you'll go."[/b] The woman took a few steps towards Kaizo before Rio's soft voice echoed throughout the area. "[i]Kaizo... come to me... Kaizo...[/i]" Hearing this, the woman stopped, looking towards the lake with a death glare as more screams of Rio's name left the lake. Looking back at Kaizo with a grunt, the woman released all of her crystal tails, pointing them at Kaizo. Her face then settled into a straight one, eyes darkening with an eerie aura. "[i]Kaizo... I won't last... much longer.... come to me....[/i]" Rio's soft voice echoed again, sounding weak and this time making the woman smirk. [b]"Sounds like my plan is almost complete... I will regain my body, even if it's the last thing I do. Just a little more time..."[/b] The woman continued to smirk before Rio's voice echoed once more. "[i]Kaizo... don't hurt her.... don't hurt Huerona....[/i]" The woman chuckled a little at this. [b]"Are those your last words? Foolish woman. None the less, you're right. Don't know if you've noticed, but every time you've hurt me, you've hurt Rio. Kill me, or even beat me within an inch of my life and Rio will die. She's weaker than me, even more so now due to what's happening to her. Hehe, either way, you won't win Kaizo! Rio will die and there is nothing you can do about it~"[/b] Huerona continued to chuckle as she stood her ground with the tips of all five tails pointing at Kaizo. She didn't move, not needing to since she believe that she had already won. Rio's body was definitely hers for the taking now. ~ Hana and Kan heard Huerona's and Kaizo's voices, feeling when the both of them entered Rio's inner world. Both spirits began glaring and fell quiet. [b]"Fuck... Kan... We can't let Huerona do this.... Any plans?"[/b] Hana turned to Kan while the latter grit her teeth. [b]"I honestly... don't know what to do Hana.... Dammit!"[/b] Smashing a fist frustratedly into the ledge, Kan looked down and noticed that she was only able to see Rio's head and shoulders now... the rest of her body swallowed by the darkness but despite this, Rio still smiled... [b]"... What [i]can[/i] we do?...."[/b] Kan asked in anguish. Hana thought for a short moment before speaking. [b]"If we go down there, we'd be swallowed.... But Kaizo's here, he'd be able to cut the web that's captured Rio.... She isn't gone yet since we can still hear her voice... but... Huerona's here.... Kaizo has got to get past her and get in here...."[/b] Hana gripped the edge of the ledge. [b]"But Huerona won't let him do so, atleast not easily.... This is going to be close... All we can do is leave it up to him... Unless"[/b] Kan replied before slowly standing up, her eyes on Rio the whole time. Hana looked up at Kan a little confused. [b]"Unless what?"[/b] Kan looked back at Hana's puzzled expression with a straight one of her own. [b]"Unless we buy him some time and go down there. We've been Rio's and Huerona's Zanpakuto from the start... and honestly, I'm not ready to leave yet, not like this."[/b] Kan looked back down at Rio, watching as the black web continued to slowly move around her. [b]"Besides, I'd much rather do as much as I can than leave her fate in the hands of someone else. I refuse to let our wielder down, she'd do the same for us, we know that. Not once has she left us behind or treated us as [i]just a weapon[/i]."[/b] Hana began standing up after listening to Kan, a small smile stretching across her face. [b]"You know, you're right as always~ I hate sitting around and waiting anyway! Let's go Kan!"[/b] Kan smiled at Hana's serious face before letting it drop into a serious one of her own. The two then crouched before jumping off of the ledge, landing on top of the web as it immediately stuck to both of their feet. The two of them instantly grabbed Rio's shoulders and began pulling, even as the web began slowly moving up both of their legs. [b]"... What are you two doing.... escape this... quickly... leave..."[/b] Rio uttered weakly but both spirits only continued to pull before Kan was given an idea. Bending down, she started to rip the webbing off of Rio's and her own body. [b]"Shut. Up."[/b] Kan growled. [b]"If you won't help yourself then we'll do it for you!"[/b] Hana responded while still trying to pull Rio. The latter silently looked at the two and watched without another word as they both hurried to try and release her.
