"Oh...I see...my bad" Kaizo said rubbing the back of his head then blinked when she mentioned Kenta but he wasn't sure why so he just shrugged "I guess so...and oh my bad..." Kaizo said still rubbing the back of his head with a slight smile then he heard her say about them having a fight which made him blink but when she got ready to go at him he really saw he had no choice...he didn't want to say no but he didn't want to go easy on her...so really he had no choice in the matter. Kaizo then placed his right hand on the hilt of his Zanpakuto and unsheathed it, raising his spiritual energy as he did, he then held his Zanpakuto out infront of him and grabbed it with both hands as it began to glow a bright yellow then he seemed to rip in half his Zanpakuto "Shatter their souls...Kyotetsu" this released a massive shockwave that sent the bamboo tree's bending back and those that were really close broke and were sent flying, this kicked up a great amount of dust then Kaizo flew out of the dust using shunpo leaving a massive hole in the dust cloud, he came in with his right Shikai aiming to clash that with her right Shikai, he held his body somewhat low to the ground as he moved his left Shikai in closer to her body but as he did he extended his index and middle finger on his left hand and used Hado 1 sho on her left arm to push it away then following through with his movement a small blue orb appeared on Kaizo's left elbow which seemingly came close to contact with Rio's gut. This small blue orb was known as Bakudo 8 and if it hit like he planned it to then she would be sent flying back...the way Kaizo fought was interesting but then again it had to be...he did graduate the Academy in one year...

[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

Rio's face immediately hardened as a stern, focused serious look over took her smile. Raising her spiritual energy a little bit more as Kaizo unsheathed his Zanpakuto, Rio made sure that all of her senses were extra sharp. She had felt his energy before, the first time she entered this very bamboo forest, so she had a small idea of how strong he could actually get, keeping in mind that he had been exhausted from training when she met him. Despite expressing that she had a chance to win,Rio knew that it would be an extremely small chance that she could win. However, Rio wasn't one to back down and she could accept loosing to Kaizo, it would be great practice fighting someone stronger than herself after all. If she wanted to fair against the other Shinigami then she had to fight them to see where she'd stand and where her mistakes would lay. With the utmost calmness, Rio watch Kaizo activate his Shikai, paying close attention to his movements. The sheer force of Kaizo's activation sent her hair blowing backwards, however, her stance didn't shake as she fought against the wind. On the inside, she was actually rather excited. Fighting the Captain taught her a few things and now that her Shikai meant that her Zanpakuto's were attached to her, she felt that she would be able to fight more effectively.

The very second Kaizo shunpo'ed, Rio went completely on guard, paying close attention to the mass of spiritual energy he exuded that over-powered her own as she wasn't releasing her full potential, not just yet. He then appeared in front of her so she forced her right Shikai forward and clashed with his, which he then used Bakudo one on her left arm, causing it to fly back. Looking down, she noticed the blue orb that was heading for her gut. She would let him hit her a third time so she swung both of her legs back to move her gut away and shunpo'd, completing a back-flip over his body while swerving her left blade around so that it pointed backwards while she landed. Intertwining her hands for more force into her next attack, she thrusted her left elbow back, aiming to elbow-stab him by his left shoulder while paying close attention to his left elbow. The whole time, Rio's face stayed straight and focused.
