Once Rio closed the door, she bit her lip harshly to stop it from trembling. [i]'Come on! Get a hold of yourself! You don't need him! you have yourself.'[/i] [b]"Sh-SHUT UP!"[/b] She grabbed her head and shook it violently. [b]"J-Just stop!... He's gone and it's all thanks to you! I'm going crazy here and no one is able to tell... Huuu... I don't belong here... I don't belong anywhere... Ulgh... I've got to go train!"[/b] Rio began taking deep breaths, forcing herself calm. [b]"Right Rio, relax-"[/b] [i]'-Rio... What has gotten into you?-'[/i] Rio's breath hitched in her throat as Kan began to speak to her. After a moment of silence, Rio dropped her shoulders. [b]"I honestly don't know... I-I... I'm just trying to stay strong..."[/b] [i]'-No, that isn't strong. You're being foolish, there is no need to change your personality. I thought you hated those driven by power? Yet look, what are you doing right now...-'[/i] Kan did make a good point but Rio just didn't know anymore. [b]"It was a bad time to return... I shouldn't of come back..."[/b] Rio opened her door and stepped outside, her eyes seemed dull, and her face exuded helplessness... Squeezing her eyes shut, she shunpo'ed out of the Seireitei once more, running back to where she came from. She'd stay there for longer and train twice as hard... She just felt that this is what she needed to do right now.
