Kaizo noticed a lot had changed about Rio but the most important thing he picked up on is that she had seemed to have become much more...cold...there wasn't that warm feeling she gave off which made Kaizo wonder what had happened to her. "Yeah stupid...but...You were already strong Rio...at least to me...but I guess if you don't feel strong then nothing I can really say will change your mind" Kaizo then let out a sigh then shrugged at her Question "Well...hollows attacked...many of them...why we don't know but they just did...it's as simple as that which is frustrating as we need to know why they did this but unfortunately we can't question brain dead monsters..."

[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

Rio's eyebrow's screwed together for a second before she calmed herself. [i]'Stop letting your emotions rule you!'[/i] She sighed and looked back at Kaizo. [b]"That's a ridiculous statement. Sugar-coating won't help anyone. And mentioning it in that way only makes people feel guilty. I wish you hadn't of said anything, a silence would of boded better."[/b] After she spoke, Rio was actually rather surprised at how she could say that to Kaizo... But then she remembered how Kenta was with her and how her Captain is... [i]'Those two are two of the most strongest people I know... So is Kaizo... None of them let their emotions show... So to be stronger, you mustn't let them show... You must always be calm... cold... That seems to be the rule'[/i] She was trying her best to control herself and was doing well, whereas if this was before she left, she would of been apologising repeatedly for what she had just said. [b]"Hollows... Just as I thought... I could feel them too... Hopefully they won't return. That's the last thing we'd need right now considering the devastation they have caused."[/b] [i]'Stop wasting your time and train!'[/i] That voice, her own voice, continued to yell at her inside her mind, insult her and put her down... She was giving in to it as it promised strength... But at what cost?
