[u]Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango & Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

Niki had given Henry a smile before trying to convince Rio to chill out. The latter, however, ignored Henry's comment as he called her a 'tiny leader' and kept her back to the two. [b]"Yeah Rio, Henry's right, lets go! This in an intervention, you can't say no"[/b] Niki placed her hand on Rio's left shoulder. [b]"Come on honey, you should know that rest is just as important as work"[/b] Rio Sighed and dropped her shoulders, closing her eyes for a moment before opening them and swinging her body back around. [b]"Fine! If it'll stop you two pestering me then Okay, we'll postpone seeing the Captain."[/b] Niki grinned, happy that Rio had given up on her stubbornness. [b]"Great! But first, we gotta go to Squad four, a Hollow cut me pretty deep across my thighs"[/b] Niki lifted up the bottom of her skirt to reveal two deeps gashes across the top part of her thighs. Rio's and Sango's, who was just watching the entire conversion, eyes widened. [b]"B-Blood"[/b] Was the word that spilled out of Sango's mouth before she quickly looked away, leaning closer to Henry's back. [b]"H-How, What... Why did you wait until now to say something?! You should of just went straight there!"[/b] Rio spoke, exasperated. [b]"But you are the leader right? I was just following orders..."[/b] Nikia pouted a little. [b]"I'm not your leader! Just, come on!"[/b] Rio grabbed Niki's right wrist and began to drag Niki towards Squad four, a smug smirk on Niki's face the whole way there. [i]'That took her mind off work'[/i].

Once at the Squad four barracks, Rio looked around for any Shinigami Squad members that were free. There was no one around, she figured that they were all resting to recover from healing the injured that resulted from the Hollow attack. [b]"I guess there is only on person to go to; the Captain"[/b] She spoke to no one in particular, marching to the Captain's office, still dragging Niki, well, holding Niki's wrist as she walked closely behind Rio. Stopping, Rio knocked on what she believed was the Captain's office door. [b]"Hello? Captain? Are you there?"[/b] She called, hoping someone was there to answer.
