Kaizo arrived in the forest then looked up to Rio as she spoke "I've come to sort you out, I'll remind you why I'm a Captain..." Kaizo continued to look at Rio as she continued to speak "I must say...this side of you isn't very smart...Challenging a Captain so openly, you're a bit to confident aren't you? I wont deny that you are strong...but I know for certain you are not ready to take on a Captain...if you think I haven't gotten stronger than you're very much mistaken" Kaizo watched Rio unsheathe her Zanpakuto's and after seeing her seemingly prepare she began running towards him, Kaizo's face remained cold and still as Rio got closer then Kaizo took a deep breath as Rio got closer then he exhaled as he then appeared infront of Rio, crouched low as he aimed to use his left elbow to bat away Rio's right hand and using his left hand he pointed at her left hand and used Hado 1 sho to push that away, then he threw his right fist towards her gut planning to stun her slightly and send her flying back. If successful this would have been done swiftly and smoothly making Kaizo's movements harder to read

Rio continued to smirk as she moved closer, Kaizo's words seemingly not reaching her. "You're in my way Kaizo~ I don't think you know exactly what is going on here hmhm~" Kaizo then appeared in front of her, which Rio instinctively pulled back from, raising her energy to help her drag her body back, but not back enough to stop Kaizo from completing his movements. His punch landed, however not a tinge of pain was found on Rio's face, if anything she only grinned widely, almost seeming to like the pain or atleast be unaffected by it.... Of course the force caused Rio to fly back into a thick bamboo tree, whacking the back of her head in the process. Sliding to the floor, her hair hung over her face before she twitched, lifting her head while rubbing the back of it. "O-ow... what... what's going on?" Lifting her head, the red glint began dimming as Rio looked up at Kaizo, her eye widening. "What the...K-Kai.. zo?-UN-..." Her body dragged itself off the ground while her head tilted forward. Shortly after, Rio lifted her head, the strength of the glint growing once again. "Heheheh~ Do you like hurting me Kaizo?~ You do it without hesitation, almost as if you've been waiting to do this for a while~ Also It doesn't matter how strong you are in physical strength, I know you're strong, but you don't know just how strong I am hmhm~... I've been hiding a few things from you Kaizo~" Rio's sealed Zanpakutos began exuding a crystal coating before she jumped to the left, swinging the blade so that crystal arcs flew towards Kaizo. With each swing, the crystal arcs began growing stronger, a technique Rio had never possessed or maybe just never displayed before....

Kaizo listened to Rio speak, she once again seemingly changed which caused his eyes to narrow. The way she spoke ended up causing a grin to form on his face as he then spoke "Well now, I don't care what think of me and what you say about me behind my back but at the end of the day I'm still Captain. I got to say....this side of you is pretty disrespectful..." Kaizo watched as Rio then shunpoed out of his office, Kaizo let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand as he then stood up "Well now...I guess there is only one way to settle this..." Kaizo looked down to his Zanpakuto then narrowed his eyes "I don't want to use you at all...let alone Shikai, and certainly not Bankai...especially side of you..." Kaizo took off his Haori throwing it behind him as he then clenched his right hand into a fist then opened it again "I promise I'll sort this out...it's what you'd do isn't it Kurisa?" Kaizo then let his right arm fall to his side as he looked up at his office door then suddenly he turned and slammed his right fist through the wall behind him blowing a massive hole in it as he then stepped out the hole "Get someone to fix that! I've got something to attend to!" Kaizo then shunpoed off as a few Squad 2 members looked at eachother with confusion. Kaizo proceeded to chase after Rio, heading for the forest he first met her in

Rio grinned at what Kaizo had said as she left, shunpo'ing into the bamboo forest but then suddenly stopped, standing still. Clearly Kaizo would easily find her, but that was what she wanted, she really did feel claustrophobic in that place which was the only reason why she tried to draw Kaizo out. As Rio stood there and waited, not another second had passed before Kaizo would of found her. "Hmhmhm~ Can't get enough of me, can you?" Rio's voice sounded deeply amused as she turned around, her hair swaying gently in the air as she did. Crossing her arms, Rio's grin muted to a smirk. "Oh my, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you look like you're prepared for a fight~ Perfect~" Tearing the sleeves off of her Shuhakusho, Rio threw them both onto the ground before drawing both Zanpakutos. Chuckling as the red glint almost completely swallowed her usual plum iris, Rio moved both wrists in a circle motion to loosen them up a little before moving her head to the left then right, stretching out her neck. "Well, this wouldn't be the first time we fought, right Kaizo?~ Let's see how it'll end this time." Within a second, Rio snapped into a stance before launching towards Kaizo, the grin on her face growing as she continued to chuckle. "You're in my way Kaizo~" Her voice sounded a little raspy as she spoke while running, however she chimed her words in a dark, rhythmic tone.

Kaizo continued to look at Rio, growing more and more suspicious of how she was acting...in fact the way she was right now he wouldn't say she was anything like Rio...even the expression she carried was far different to any Rio would have. Hearing her mention Shiro and question how strong he was caused him to chuckle "Shiro and myself haven't fought in a long while...I wouldn't know who is stronger..." Kaizo looked at Rio, looking at her without breaking eye contact "Well...that's interesting isn't it. You missed me so much and yet you can't understand why your heart ached while I was gone? So you are telling me that as you stand here right now you do not understand why your heart feels the way it does for me?...I must say...that sounds worrying . It's so different to what you say sometimes, where you know why you love me and yet now you don't? it's as if you are two different people in the same body" Kaizo then sat back in his chair and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand and closed his eyes "It's truly confusing yet I've noticed this sort of behaviour for awhile now...it seems it came on when these headache's came to you and as the headache's got worse" Kaizo then opened his eyes "this odd behaviour has gotten worse and more noticeable...perhaps I have been looking into it to much...or did you think I'd just overlook that fact and think I wouldn't notice? Because you know...right now...I don't feel as if Rio is standing infront of me...this feeling is uncomfortable and I'd even go as far as to say you are an entirely different person...So how about we quit the games here and you get right to the point? how about telling me what the hell is going on?" Kaizo then narrowed his eyes at Rio the look growing serious and cold

Rio chuckled a little, her smirk stretching. "Oh such a shame. At least we could say that Captain Kuchiki was stronger than you though, I've trained with him many times during my time at Squad Six~ He will always be the better one out of the two of you, despite this unfortu....-nate event..." Rio's smirk suddenly dropped as she looked down with a frown. "... I still can't believe that he's gone... Dammit, I mustn't... be ruled by my emotions... anymore..." She clenched her shaking hands into fists after her arms fell to her sides, still looking down as she spoke in a softer tone of voice. Taking a deep breath, she looked up with slight shock when her eye reached Kaizo. "Kaizo... Is everything Okay?" She asked, blinking at his expression. "What are you talking about?... What makes you say that?... Two people?..." Rio cocked an eyebrow, unable to understand why Kaizo was saying this... "... I'd prefer not to talk about how I felt when you left... All that matters is now, the past is no longer relevant... However, I have no idea of what you're talking about Kaizo.... If anything you're worrying me... " Rio looked away, biting her lip in confusion before her eye slid back to Kaizo, the red glint growing stronger while a slight smirk jumped across her lips and her voice gained an amused tone. "Besides, I was thinking more along the lines of why do I care so much for a lowly piece of trash such as yourself, Hmhm~" Rio chuckled. "Oh you've noticed something about me have you? Hm? Headaches? Gee Kaizo, a headache is nothing more than a headache. It cannot alter a person's personality now so stop being silly~ I think you've been fighting far too much, someone's finally knocked a screw loose in your head it seems~" The more Rio spoke, the more sinister her smirk became, twisting back into a grin as her voice darkened. "If I'm not Rio then who am I Kaizo? Just look at me properly for a moment~" Rio stood back before doing a little slow twirl, posing a little each time she moved while still grinning and stopping to look at him. "I'm Rio idiot. But I'm not playing games~ Oh no, this is just a side of me that you've never had the privilege to see~ I try to repress this side, but throughout all of this mess, it's done nothing but grow stronger due to my bad decisions~ Getting involved with you is one of those decisions~ Giving a damn about that weak boy Kenta was another~ Caring about Captain Kuchiki only for him to die so suddenly and therefore impacting me strongly, was yet another~ Hmhmhm~" She chuckled once more before turning towards the door and looking back over her shoulder to Kaizo. "The past is relevant, very relevant~ I guess a certain part of me smashed when my mother died in my arms... She was a wonderful mother... who too made bad decisions... But that is irrelevant. Now if you'll excuse me, this office is making me feel claustrophobic so I think I'll take a stroll through the part of the woods we love so much~ You know, the part I unfortunately found you in~ If I don't come back well... that will be your issue to deal with~ No longer mine~" Rio then shunpo'ed out of the office.

Konome continued to smile at Henry, chuckling a little. "You went through all the trouble to catch them for me, how can I not like it? Besides, I'm may not act like Sango but you're still important to me, anything you do I'll like regardless of what it is" Konome chuckled a little, looking around once more at the butterflies that chose to relax inside Henry's room with admiration. Sei, the one she named with pale-blue wings and those distinguishing pale-red spots were amongst the clutter of butterflies, sitting on top of Henry's counter, it's wings slowly fluttering. Konome then looked back at Henry before her smile dropped and she sighed. "You are a part of this Squad still right? And well... I don't know what I want to do.... I don't know if I'm ready to return to... my Clan... Honestly, I don't really want to... not yet atleast... I'm up for doing whatever you're doing though, I still want to stay close to you Henry... But for now, I guess since I'm here, I might aswell help out." Straightening herself up, Konome smiled once more at Henry. "But really Henry... Thank you for everything you've done for me" Leaning forward, Konome gently placed her lips on Henry's, giving him a soft kiss before pulling back and clearing her throat with a blush dusted across her cheeks as she looked away to avoid eye-contact due to her sudden feeling of shyness.

Bleach: A New Dawn

Konome watching Henry in suspense, half expecting him to walk out the door, the other half expecting him to tell her that she didn't know what she was talking about. Amidst the wait, Henry started to move, which caused Konome's eyes to drift to the floor. But instead of him walking straight passed her, he walked straight to her, hugging her. Konome's eyes widened a touch before immediately returning to normal while listening to him. A smile drifted across her lips as she hugged him back after he finished speaking. "I don't mind a slip here and there, I'll still respond. And actually, I really love the surprise, I love butterflies in fact so I'm actually surprised that you'd do such a thing like this for me... Thank you... Henry Tobias" Konome rested her chin on Henry's shoulder before pulling back, smiling at him. "I'm glad I got that off my chest, I think now would be the best time to finally join this Squad. I do remember everything crystal clear of the attack here and have heard about the recent passing of our Captain... I guess now they'd need more help than ever."

Bleach: A New Dawn

Konome stopped admiring the butterflies once Henry spoke up and looked at him, her smile dropping to a frown as her eyes looked down. "... It's time for me to be honest with you... The Sango you knew is gone." Konome looked back up at Henry with a serious expression. "Sango is me... Konome. I'll try to simplify things for you. My name is Konome Fushimaru Hari, I belong to the Hari Clan, however due to a certain incident, I was captured and experimented on and thus I became experiment number 134; Ōhi Sango. I know you had gotten close to me after I had escaped the facility... I will always be grateful for everything you've done for me... You made me feel truly safe, you were everything to me, my whole world and reason for living... But something happened, a few days ago, which restored my power and my brain, I'm back to my normal self again.... I don't know how or why this has happened, but it happened and I'm glad.... Whether you still want to be with me is all up to you, I am still Sango, just.... Konome...." Konome hugged her right arm to her side with her left hand, looking off to the left as she spoke and tried to summarise things in an easy-to-understand way. Once she was done talking, she looked back at Henry and waited for his response, gulping.

Bleach: A New Dawn

Konome began walking back towards Henry's room at Squad Six, gripping two Zanpakuto's after having another chat with a Squad Twelve member, Ringo. 'Hmm... I wonder how long it will take.... I can't have two Zanpakuto's, can I?... Densen doesn't want to leave me, despite how different I am now... And Sei, I can feel them calling to me, wanting to rejoin with me....' Konome had put up the 'Sango' act for Henry ever since she returned to her normal self, but even as Sango she was distant, not how Sango would usually be. Konome just didn't like acting the way Sango did, clingy and clueless... that wasn't Konome. She had decided that once she'd return to Henry's, she would tell Henry the truth and stop living a lie.

Once she got outside Henry's door, Konome opened it to find a wall of butterflies shoot passed her. Blinking, Konome's eyes had widened a little, shocked. Walking inside the room, she noticed just how many butterflies there were, which surprised her. "U-Um... Henry Tobias?" She asked, her voice higher to sound as she did as Sango. Sighing, Konome looked at Henry before looking down and whispering. "I can't do this anymore... Henry" Looking up, Konome looked at Henry with a serious expression. "I have to tell you something." Butterflies began landing on her shoulders and head which made Konome look at them and smile a little, she loved butterflies.

Kaizo listened to Rio then nodded as she spoke "I see well that sounds like it's for the best, I trust your judgement. We will have to keep a close eye on them...good job Rio." Kaizo then narrowed his eyes slightly as Rio continued to speak before speaking himself "Hmm...well that does sound worrying..." Kaizo then noticed Rio's sudden change in tone and even the feel she gave off was different, this caused Kaizo to look to her eye as he listened to her speak which in itself was different...then there was that...the red glint again causing Kaizo to begin to take caution with what he'd say...he remembered this look, this aura...the way she spoke...from that time, almost as if she changed personality's for a moment. "Well if the tablets you have aren't working for your headache I'm not sure what to suggest, there are a few obvious methods but those clearly wouldn't work...So I wouldn't know what to suggest, I rarely get headache's and when I do I just power through them..." Kaizo then took a breath before continuing to speak "Everything's been running smoothly...so no worries there and well...I don't really need to say how they're doing." Kaizo placed both his elbows on his desk then clasped his hands together and held them in front his mouth as he then spoke "You know if you're having these headache's perhaps you should take a few hours off till it passes...afterall I don't want the stress of the job getting to you and making it worse..."

Rio's smile grew a tiny bit, but more sinister than anything else. "I see~ Well, I did try taking two pills once to see if it'd help, but my medicine was stronger than silly little me assumed, hence why I fainted outside your office~ I wonder what would of happened if you didn't find me~" Rio took a couple steps forward, softly placing both hands on top of Kaizo's desk while leaning forward a little, her smile worsening into a subtle, devious grin. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised, you are indeed a powerful man~ However, that begs the question of how powerful exactly? Do you consider yourself to rival other Captains such as the Kenpachi of Squad Eleven? You have some history with Shiro, don't you?~" Rio asked before chuckling breathlessly and pushing herself off of Kaizo's desk, covering her mouth as she chuckled before looking at Kaizo, still with that same red glint in her eye. "I do wonder how much you've improved since I'm so very proud of you Kaizo. Even after how much my heart ached during your disappearance, how much I feared that you had died due to hearing absolutely nothing from you heh heh~... Even after all of that anguish, I care so much about you, I love you so deeply and honestly don't understand what makes you so different from everyone else~ But I guess my heart sees something in you that my mind doesn't understand~" Rio spoke while chuckling, a cheerful expression on her face as if what she was saying was causal small-talk. "And I see, well, I'm glad to here everything has been running smoothly, I could say the same for training here also~ And now now, a simple headache is no excuse for time off. I am a Lieutenant, it'd be ridiculous of me to let a headache get in the way of my work, wouldn't it Captain?~" Rio looked at Kaizo with a half-lidded eye and simple smile, almost smirking.

Bleach: A New Dawn

- In the Past -
Fumio and Rio both looked at him with raised eyebrows, wondering what he was up to. Souta only grinned at the two of them before lifting his left arm across his chest, aiming his spikes at the glowing crystal before shooting it, smashing the crystal before the spikes shattered themselves.

A large, blue ring of energy stretched throughout the air, like a visual sonic boom. The rings of energy flew passed the three and continued to spread, however only those who where Hari's would benefit from this since this spread the Head of the Clan's power evenly throughout all of the surviving Hari's within the Soul Society, giving all of them a power boost.

"Huh? D-Danger..." Sango stood inside Henry's room at Squad Six, staring outside a window while the pale-blue butterfly with a pale-red spot on it's wings sat on her shoulder. She could sense a fight, a power struggle, but that was all she knew... Sango had no clue as to who were fighting, what they were fighting about or why she was sensing something so far away. However, something about it screamed home... '... Home?...' Alone in this room, Sango had never felt so away from home in her life... Usually she'd prefer to drift, be nothing but a jellyfish floating through the ocean of existence... but for the first time, she felt there was somewhere... a place out there that she belonged to, but why? Where is this place? Why didn't she know anything about it? All these questions needed answers... Then came a flash of blue light....

"H-Huh?!" A line of blue light head for her unexpectedly, causing Sango to take a few steps back but she wasn't able to stop the light from reaching her, moving past her and....

Sango's eyes widened dramatically as her breath hitched in her throat before she blinked... then blinked a few more time, looking around the suddenly unfamiliar room. "Wh-wh... Where am I? Dr Heigai?!" Sango looked around her frantically, calling for the one man she wished she'd never see again, thankfully there was no answer. Taking a few more steps back, Sango continued to eye the room before running to the closest mirror she could find. Looking into it, Sango placed her hands on her cheeks, pulling the skin before letting go, touching and prodding her face and body. Looking down for a moment, she eyed her body before looking at her hands... her soft, smooth and pale hands. Looking back up into the mirror, her eyes shook along with her voice. "H-How is this p-possible?... H-Heigai.... Lobotomised m-me... Why am I here?! H-How'd I get here?!" She dropped her hands before the butterfly which sat on her shoulder flew off and fluttered to the door. Sango eyes immediately darted to it, watching it sit on the door handle. "I-Is... Is that really you?...." Sango whispered, her voice not as soft and innocent as usual, sounding a little more deeper and mature.

After a moment, Sango straightened up and gulped before walking towards the door handle, placing her hand on it after the butterfly fluttered above it and waited for the woman to open the door. Once she did, the butterfly flew outside and stopped, as if waiting for Sango to step out, which the latter did, watching the insect flutter while following it.

Walking while looking around cautiously and seeming more stern as she eyed everyone in a way to say 'Stay away', Sango continued to follow the butterfly all the way to Squad Eight. It didn't stop there since it continued to lead Sango deeper into the barracks. Sango felt as though she needed to be careful, hiding around corners whenever she heard anyone nearby and wait for them to pass, taking cover in the shadows while simply watching them with her eyes only. None of them bothered to notice the butterfly as it fluttered and waited for Sango to continue following, which was great.

The butterfly had lead Sango to a certain room two doors down from the current Lieutenant's room, which was empty at this moment in time. Entering the room, the butterfly fluttered to a closed, sliding cupboard in the back, however the first thing that caught Sango's eyes was a leather-bound book laid haphazardly on the floor, open to a certain page.

Walking closer, Sango felt drawn to the book so she bent down and picked it up after closing the door behind her. Lifting the book up, she looked at the page, reading it.
'It hurts......
I t h u r t s S o u t a....
S.... S ei.... Sei.... i s g o n e... D... De n s e n....

I... I ca n't s see.... H h e a d h u r t s.... c a n ' t b r e a t... he

W.... wh.... o 's.... s ou t a... ?'
Sango's widened eyes shook slightly as she read. "I remember writing this.... Souta's my brother.... HE'S OUT THERE!" Sango looked up instantly with a gasp at the realisation. "I can't feel Ursula anymore... but Souta... H-he's different.... Stronger but it's dark... What is this power of his?... Wait.. He's not alone either... Kazuhiko, and... Huerona?" Looking down, Sango's lips lifted into a faint smile as she closed the book, calming down. "I'm glad he's Okay atleast..." Sango's eyes then drifted to the butterfly that waited at the cupboard, still fluttering in the same spot. "You're Sei, aren't you?" Sango asked while holding her smile before walking towards the insect, opening the cupboard as the butterfly sat back on her shoulder.

She couldn't believe what she found. "SEI!" Grabbing the blade, Sango smiled and stroked it softly. "I thought I'd never see you again.... I can feel your pull... Thank you for leading me back to you Sei.... I'll find out how to rejoin with you again...." Sango's smile soon faded as she turned to the door, taking the book with her. "... Looks to me that the death of Ursula had somehow saved me... I don't know how or why, but I'm not going to fall into a trap like that again... I got extremely lucky it seems...." Looking at her Clenched fist, Sango turned to the door and walked out, making her way back to Squad Six. '.. Now what do I do... Henry would still think I'm Sango... hmm... So which option do I go with?...'
