[quote=AbigailTenshi] As Rio causally walked through the paths of the Seireitei with Kaizo following behind, the nervous feeling in her stomach quickly grew stronger. She let out quiet breaths to keep calm and acted as if she wasn't quietly freaking out inside of her head. She smiled to herself and at her own behaviour. At one point she was all for the idea, but now that they were on their way to do it, she's suddenly nervous. She chuckled when the sound of a guy shouting rang in her eyes, shortly followed by cheers. The thought of Captain Kuchiki preforming a motivational speech then entered her mind. The pointless musing actually helped calm Rio during the whole journey.Once at the door, Rio opened it and walked in, leaving it open for Kaizo to walk in. She then walked straight into the kitchen to make them both some nice, soothing tea. She asked, trying to get some sort of conversation going while making the tea and bringing it over to the table. [/quote] As they walked to Rio's room Kaizo heard some people cheering away at something and then a load of Shinigami could be seen running all in one direction which confused Kaizo a little but Kaizo caught a glimpse of the man leading them which caused him to narrow his eyes slightly [i]...Shiro...[/i] He had a run in with this guy already and he was strong but in the end they both ended up going down...so it ended up a tie somehow...but it seemed Shiro was making a lot of progress with his ranks whilst Kaizo was still...unseated...he was defiantly at 3rd seat level but he was still unseated...he needed to get himself promoted and as soon as. This all had thrown Kaizo off any thoughts he had before but whilst he thought about his position he had gotten a little distracted and before he knew it he was at Rio's room, he followed in behind her then she went off to make some tea...maybe she was having a change of mind about this whole thing...maybe it was a good thing but it did make Kaizo feel a little depressed but he didn't show this, instead he just took a seat and listened to Rio ask him about his hut "Oh yeah! I've worked on it a bit since last time...it's a lot sturdier now and no longer leaks just got to patch a few more things up here and there...thanks for asking, I was sure you may have forgotten about that hut" Kaizo said with a nervous laughter
