Kaizo watched Rio as she seemingly changed drastically then he heard her voice within his mind causing his eyes to widen then he felt her hand gently touch his chest and before Kaizo could do anything his mind went blank and when he opened his eyes he was within some odd world, he sat up and looked around and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand "Where am I?" Kaizo then got to his feet as he noticed the large lake infront of him, he walked up to the lake and looked at it noticing it's mirrored surface "What is this place?" Kaizo's eyes then widened when he heard Rio's name being called by two unfamiliar voices however the voices seemingly carried panic which in turn caused Kaizo to panic, noticing the voices coming from the lake confused Kaizo as he looked around panicking "What is going on!?" Kaizo then looked to the lake and grit his teeth "Wherever this is it aint normal!" Kaizo then took a deep breath and went to step into the lake and go deeper to try see why he heard Rio's name being called from the lake

As Kaizo took a deep breath and stepped into the lake, he'd find that under the so called 'water' he'd feel absolutely nothing.... No wetness, more an airy feeling, as if he stepped off of the edge of a cliff of some sort. However, before he was able to see the dark abyss below, he'd feel someone roughly grab him by his right shoulder and pull him out of the lake before throwing him back, aiming to throw him into one of the many thick trees surrounding the area behind him.

Upon looking at the culprit, Kaizo would find a woman that looked identical to Rio, the only differences being that both of her eyes were normal and held a red glint, as well as where Rio would have hair-bands, she didn't, letting her short hair rest on top of her long hair. "Don't you dare!" She spoke fiercely, her voice also identical to Rio's, or more the 'bad' Rio he had been facing. She glared at Kaizo with hatred, both hands balled into fists. "You're in my world now! I don't know how you were able to come in here, no doubt that thief had something to do with it... Either way, this is as far as you'll go." The woman took a few steps towards Kaizo before Rio's soft voice echoed throughout the area.

"Kaizo... come to me... Kaizo..." Hearing this, the woman stopped, looking towards the lake with a death glare as more screams of Rio's name left the lake. Looking back at Kaizo with a grunt, the woman released all of her crystal tails, pointing them at Kaizo. Her face then settled into a straight one, eyes darkening with an eerie aura.

"Kaizo... I won't last... much longer.... come to me...." Rio's soft voice echoed again, sounding weak and this time making the woman smirk. "Sounds like my plan is almost complete... I will regain my body, even if it's the last thing I do. Just a little more time..." The woman continued to smirk before Rio's voice echoed once more.

"Kaizo... don't hurt her.... don't hurt Huerona...." The woman chuckled a little at this. "Are those your last words? Foolish woman. None the less, you're right. Don't know if you've noticed, but every time you've hurt me, you've hurt Rio. Kill me, or even beat me within an inch of my life and Rio will die. She's weaker than me, even more so now due to what's happening to her. Hehe, either way, you won't win Kaizo! Rio will die and there is nothing you can do about it~" Huerona continued to chuckle as she stood her ground with the tips of all five tails pointing at Kaizo. She didn't move, not needing to since she believe that she had already won. Rio's body was definitely hers for the taking now.

Hana and Kan heard Huerona's and Kaizo's voices, feeling when the both of them entered Rio's inner world. Both spirits began glaring and fell quiet. "Fuck... Kan... We can't let Huerona do this.... Any plans?" Hana turned to Kan while the latter grit her teeth. "I honestly... don't know what to do Hana.... Dammit!" Smashing a fist frustratedly into the ledge, Kan looked down and noticed that she was only able to see Rio's head and shoulders now... the rest of her body swallowed by the darkness but despite this, Rio still smiled... "... What can we do?...." Kan asked in anguish.

Hana thought for a short moment before speaking. "If we go down there, we'd be swallowed.... But Kaizo's here, he'd be able to cut the web that's captured Rio.... She isn't gone yet since we can still hear her voice... but... Huerona's here.... Kaizo has got to get past her and get in here...." Hana gripped the edge of the ledge. "But Huerona won't let him do so, atleast not easily.... This is going to be close... All we can do is leave it up to him... Unless" Kan replied before slowly standing up, her eyes on Rio the whole time. Hana looked up at Kan a little confused. "Unless what?" Kan looked back at Hana's puzzled expression with a straight one of her own. "Unless we buy him some time and go down there. We've been Rio's and Huerona's Zanpakuto from the start... and honestly, I'm not ready to leave yet, not like this." Kan looked back down at Rio, watching as the black web continued to slowly move around her. "Besides, I'd much rather do as much as I can than leave her fate in the hands of someone else. I refuse to let our wielder down, she'd do the same for us, we know that. Not once has she left us behind or treated us as just a weapon." Hana began standing up after listening to Kan, a small smile stretching across her face. "You know, you're right as always~ I hate sitting around and waiting anyway! Let's go Kan!" Kan smiled at Hana's serious face before letting it drop into a serious one of her own. The two then crouched before jumping off of the ledge, landing on top of the web as it immediately stuck to both of their feet.

The two of them instantly grabbed Rio's shoulders and began pulling, even as the web began slowly moving up both of their legs. "... What are you two doing.... escape this... quickly... leave..." Rio uttered weakly but both spirits only continued to pull before Kan was given an idea. Bending down, she started to rip the webbing off of Rio's and her own body. "Shut. Up." Kan growled. "If you won't help yourself then we'll do it for you!" Hana responded while still trying to pull Rio. The latter silently looked at the two and watched without another word as they both hurried to try and release her.

Kaizo continued to look down, his hair covering his eyes, the tears still running down his face as he felt his limbs being pulled out further. He listened as spoke then his eyes widened when her voice seemingly suddenly changed causing him to look up at her with his eyes still widened "R-Rio?" Kaizo looked into Rio's eyes, ignoring reaction to this he began to speak "Rio! come back! don't let this fake beat you! I need you here with me! I have nothing to fight for without you...nothing to live for...I never noticed this until now but you are my reason for living...every breath I take is for you, every single person I fight is for you! So long as I have you in my life I cannot lose! I will refuse to die no matter what! Because I refuse to leave you alone in this cruel world...much like you did for me...you took me in and restored my faith in this dark world...you're the light that allows me to fight the darkness the plagues our world...So do not leave me alone...do not lose! if I lose the very thing I love and the very thing the brings light to this world then I will have nothing...I will slip back into the darkness and what good will I be then?...So just come back to me already!" The tears still rolled down Kaizo's face however he continued to look into Rio's eyes...

Rio bit the palms of her hands harshly, hoping to cause inner Rio pain before she looked up at Kaizo angrily. Within a second, she was trapped in that gaze of his once again as he spoke, looking into both of her eyes once more. Her hands soon slowly slipped off of her face, unable to leave Kaizo's stare as if stuck in a tracker beam once again...

- Rio's inner world -

Kaizo's word once again penetrated the dark atmosphere, causing Rio to continue faintly smiling sadly. Kan and Hana were both still busy with trying to pull her up and onto the ledge they occupied, but were still unable to... whatever had Rio had an iron grip.... It continued to travel up Rio's body, capturing her left arm. "RIO DAMMIT! KICK IT OFF OR SOMETHING!... UGH!! I CAN'T HOLD KAN BACK FOR MUCH LONGER!! I'M STARTING TO SLIP!!!" Hana yelled, hopefully reaching through to Rio to get her to actually do something... Hearing this made Kan's eyes widen. "Shit... ARRRGH COME ON RIO!!" Kan grunted while still holding onto Rio's wrist tightly, this time with both hands as Hana's arms were secured around her waist. Hana could feel the force pulling her towards the edge, however she fought against it with as much force as she could muster for as long as she could.

Although Rio continued to do nothing but smile faintly, Kaizo's words the only thing she allowed herself to hear. "Kaizo.... break me free..." She whispered once more before purposely scratching Kan's wrists with her one free hand. Kan wouldn't let go, but Rio didn't let up and continued to scratch harder until Kan inevitably released her unintentionally. "RIO!!!!!" Kan screamed. "OH NO!!!!" Followed Hana as both spirits leered over the edge of the ledge. Rio let her other arm drop as the black, web-like, thick strings attached onto her other arm.

- Back to reality -

"AGHHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Rio suddenly screamed, gripping her hair while ripping out the hair-bands and squeezing her eyes closed at the same time. "NO!... NONONO!!" Rio's voice grew angry as her tails began pulling Kaizo apart much stronger all of a sudden. Opening her eyes, one crystal and the other still a cloudy silver, she looked up at Kaizo with pure hatred and utter anger. "You're going to regret that!!" Running towards Kaizo, Rio lifted her right hand, straightening her fingers as she aimed to pierce right through Kaizo's body.... but as she ran, her anger and hatred faded into a dazed expression while all of her tails abruptly shattered around them both, shards scattering to the floor as Rio looked at Kaizo with both eyes wide before opening her mouth, whispering as she got closer to him. "Kaizo... break me free...." Her whispered, soft voice would echo inside Kaizo's mind also while her hand instead moved to gently touch Kaizo's chest with her palm. 'Join me...' Without her mouth visibly opening again, Rio's voice would enter Kaizo's mind once more as her crystal eye stayed pinned to Kaizo's eyes.

At this moment, Kaizo's mind would go blank as he'd loose consciousness along with Rio, leaving them both to fall flat onto the ground, Rio landing on top of Kaizo's chest with her eyes still wide.

Within a blink of an eye, Kaizo would find himself within Rio's inner world, lying on the dirt, scarcely grassy floor. Around him he would find many trees with pure black leaves while the floor beneath them would be littered with coral and pink leaves. Not too far in front of him, he'd find a large lake, the surface mirrored. Within a short moment later, screams of Rio's name from two women would emit from the lake, sounding faint as if far from where he was.

As Kaizo looked at Rio preparing himself to receive a deadly strike from her in some sort of effort to get Rio to fight back against this dark side of her...seemingly nothing was going to get through, even if he let his body get torn apart it'd still change nothing, This caused Kaizo's head to drop a little, his hair falling infront of his eyes as he began to think of the times before that he spent with RioKaizo thought of the first time he met Rio, he was Squadless, had next to no money and was having to live in some broken down shack...he was outside on his knees, exhausted from his training but cursed himself that he couldn't get stronger. Then she showed up...like some sort of angel, appearing before him and although he was a stranger to her she took him in without a worry, gave him a place to sleep, food to eat, somewhere he could clean himself...she gave him a home...from the moment he met her, he felt as if he was stronger...as he got closer to her, he only got stronger...Everything he had done is for her, every single thing...However as Kaizo reflected on the recent events he felt as if he had lost his way...as if he stopped caring as much as he used to...in fact...it seemed he had gotten weaker since...it was no wonder he lost so easily to Kurisa...He had forgotten why he fought so hard, why he wanted to become strong...it wasn't to avenge his clan...it was for this woman, the woman that took him in and cared for him when he had nothing, no one...she was there for him every step of the way...so this fake...she could spout whatever crap she wanted! Kaizo wouldn't believe this anymore...and he wouldn't act like someone he's not....As Kaizo looked down a small smile formed on his face, he then looked up at Rio, looking her in both her eyes "I'm sorry Rio...ever since I became Captain, I lost my way...I've become weaker...I can feel it...the truth is...I'm only strong because of you, you're what gives me strength...If I've lost you, then I've nothing left to fight for...so death will be the only fitting thing for me...I don't want to live in a world without you, I can't..." As rio's tails pulled at Kaizo's arms Kaizo showed no pain...the only thing that felt any pain was his heart...he was fully prepared to die right now, it seemed he had nothing left to fight for...thinking this only caused Kaizo's head to drop a little, his hair covering his eyes once again as a small smile formed on his face "I guess I'll be joining you soon Kurisa Kuchiki...I'm sorry I couldn't protect Rio like you asked of me...I just can't bring myself to hurt her anymore...even if it is some psycho in control of her body...I can't do it...I can't do that to her...it's killing me inside..." as Kaizo said this a few tears ran down his cheeks and dripped off his chin onto the floor "I guess I never deserved to hold the title of Captain...I failed as a Captain, I failed as a Shinigami...I failed as a Partner...I failed everything!" Kaizo then grit his teeth as he then began shouting "If you're going to kill me then do it already! There is nothing you can do to me that will cause me pain! you're wasting your fucking time! I don't feel a single thing...my body is numb..."

Rio's tails latched onto Kaizo's limbs with ease, this made Rio's grin much more sinister. Kaizo began looking down 'A sign of giving up perhaps? And here I thought he'd try to mock me further~ This is going to be easier than I had expected.' Her tails tightened and continued to pull until Kaizo began speaking... Rio wouldn't of stopped... if he hadn't of looked into both of her eyes. "Huh?" Rio's grin faltered and she seemed as though she was stuck in a tracker beam by Kaizo's stare...

- Flashback time -
~ During the Hari Clan Fight

Rio didn't want to think anymore... she didn't want to cry either, she just wanted to finish what her mother had planned... All of this was planned from the start, but that was a story for another time... Right now there was a task at hand and Rio was determined to complete it for her family and all of the other families Ursula had ruined.

Rio looked up at Ursula, void of emotion. She found that Souta had been thrown into a wall, hardly able to move his body however he was still awake while Fumio was once again caught by his neck in Ursula's grip. She was just laughing at him, head-butting him while she spoke. Her words didn't reach Rio anymore...

All that Rio could hear was a shattering sound....

~ Inside Rio's inner world at that point in time ~

Inner World

Hana and Kan were both watching the cracked lake of Rio's inner world while keeping tabs on the fight. Kan's eyes narrowed at the lake before Hana's suddenly widened with her snapping to Kan. "Kan do you feel that? It's coming! WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING!!" Hana was clearly scared and anxious, staring at Kan desperately. The latter was much calmer however extremely concerned. "I can feel it... And I know Hana, but there it's nothing we can-" SMASH!

Before Kan could finish her sentence, the lake abruptly shattered into millions of pieces that sank into the watery substance... The lake looked normal as if it previously had a mirrored film covering it, however when looked into, it was still reflective. Nothing but a dead silence dawned within the world, both Hana and Kan's eyes drawn to the lake in suspicion... They didn't move an inch, nothing did, not even the trees... However, all of the coloured leaves had fell except one.

Throughout the silence, the only thing that happened was the last coloured leaf slowly swaying to the floor, tree leaves completely black when... fingers emerged from the water slowly.

"Huh? Ka-" "I know Hana." Both spirits watched the slender fingers poke out of the water from underneath... As the two watched, the fingers slowly continued to emerge out of the lake while the water ripped around them.... At first came the whole hand, then the forearm, then an elbow and onwards until-

Both Hana's and Kan's eyes widened dramatically as both gasped in unison. "I-It's-"

What they saw

The woman's eyes stared blankly at the surprised spirits before her lips twitched, slowly moving into a smirk. "Happy to see me?" Was the first thing that came out of this woman's mouth along with a slight chuckle noise, her voice identical to Rio's.

Shock was written all over Hana's face while Kan grit her teeth at the woman. Said woman chuckled. "Now now, you shouldn't look at your wielder like that~ It's disrespectful." The woman's smirk dropped as she spoke, staring at the two as her eyes began glinting red. "Looks like you two haven't forgotten about me... Good."

- A little more recent flashback up to present time -
Amidst her screaming, Rio's eyes widened further before she grit her teeth at what Kaizo was saying, repressing her voice until she suddenly grinned.

Rio's mind went blank at that moment. She felt as though she was kicked out of her own body, making her feel as though she was falling... until she hit dirt. Opening her eyes, while wondering when she closed them, Rio looked around to find herself within her inner world. There was nothing but silence, both Hana and Kan where no where to be found....

Climbing up onto her feet, Rio looked around. "HANA!.... KAN!!" She yelled before beginning to walk a little towards the lake, taking another look around. Stopping at the edge of the lake, Rio took another look around. "HANA! KAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!" She yelled louder, but was soon met with chuckling in her right ear. "Want to see them? I'll show you where they are~" Gasping, Rio looked straight while feeling that someone was behind her... The voice in her ear... was hers? "YOU!" Turning her face to look back over her shoulder, Rio's teeth were grit as she was met with a woman that looked just like her but with horns and a red glint in both of her eyes.

"Heheheh~ Recognise my voice?~ It's yours isn't it?" The woman held a smirk before it turned into a toothy grin while Rio grit her teeth harder, turing around to face the female. "Who are you?! TELL ME RIGHT NOW!" Rio yelled, pissed off instantly as she knew whoever was standing in front of her must of been the cause of all of this mess she's been going through recently... The woman chuckled at Rio's anger before opening her mouth to speak. "Me? Oh, Rio, that is your name right?... Let me tell you something, that body of yours, you stole it from me. Your name isn't Rio. It is me, Huerona" Huerona's grin dropped after she spoke, her eyes staring blankly at Rio who's own eyes widened.

"You're... Huerona?... No. You're lying... Tell me the truth!" Rio wasn't having it, there was no way this person was Huerona... Rio was Huerona. The one who claimed to be Huerona showed no reaction, staring at Rio for abit before laughing suddenly. "Heh, you're an idiot. An absolutely worthless being.... You stole MY body! 'Rio' doesn't exist!! You're a fraud! A fake! Your body is rightfully mine!" Huerona began growing infuriated, which was shown by the glare she was giving Rio. Whether or not this was Huerona didn't matter to Rio anymore... This bitch was using her body to attack the love of her life. By any means necessary... she had to be stopped.

"This body is mine. Now get the hell out of my body." Rio's voice deepened a little with a dangerous tone, however Huerona just suddenly began running for her. "NO! NOW DISAPPEAR!" Jumping, Huerona forced herself into Rio's body, causing Rio to fly back before she grabbed onto a protruding tree root on the floor to stop herself from failing into the lake. The Rio's eyes began widening as she noticed she was flying over the lake but something weird was going on, she felt her body getting more and more drawn to the lake the further away from the ground she was, as though an invisible force trying to drag her into the water. "Goodbye forever Rio~" Huerona watched the woman be dragged down into the water, disappearing into the lake of no return. "Hehehe~ Finally~"
~
"NOOO!!" Rio yelled as she fell into the water... but instead of finding more water once she entered, she found nothing but utter, airy darkness. Her body continued to fall as Rio stretched her arms up to search for something to grab onto. "No! I refuse to let it end this way!!" Rio shouted, still searching until she felt a hand grab hers. "RIO! YOU OKAY?! KAN PULL HER UP!" Came Hana's voice shortly after, shocking Rio. Despite being shocked, she was greatly relieved, allowing her expression to settle as she could feel Kan trying to pull her onto a ledge of some sort... but something was wrong.

Rio's eyes widened once more as she felt something else latch on to her left foot, trying to drag her down further. "Rio what's going on?!" Kan yelled. "I don't know... something's got me..." Rio began experiencing feelings of despair, hatred and depression seep into her body and mind for no reason which she found incredibly odd.... "Get it off of you so I can pull you up!!" Kan shouted once more, giving Rio a minute before noticing her suddenly become heavier. "R-Rio!!"

"... Let me fall..." Rio whispered, earning a gasp from Kan. "No! What are you saying?! Come on hurry! I won't be able to pull you up if you don't do something!!!" Another thing latched onto Rio's other foot, sending another wave of dark emotions over Rio's mind and soul. ".... Let me go Kan...." Rio's grip on Kan's wrist began loosening before she completely let go, leaving only Kan to hold onto her. "Dammit Rio!" "Kan why haven't you pulled her up yet?!" "I Can't! Something's dragging Rio down and she won't get it off!!" " Why?!" "I DON'T KNOW!" "... Kan... do it..." The spirits were yelling at each-other before their attention landed on Rio as she spoke softly. Whatever had grabbed onto her began sliding up her legs, making it's way to her hips while still dragging her down. "Do it before it gets you too..." Rio's voice was noticeably monotone, sounding eerie. Kan wouldn't give up which resulted in herself getting dragged down with Rio. "QUICK HANA GRAB ONTO ME AND HELP ME PULL!" Kan yelled, which Hana immediately obeyed, wrapping her arms around Kan's waist tightly, pulling Kan back as the latter continued to try and pull Rio up.

"It's useless.... let me go... I don't belong here... I don't belong in this body... or in this world..." Rio continued to talk, saying things that both spirits knew Rio would never believe... Whatever was grabbing her must of been doing something to her... Really what was happening was Rio's mind was slowing being invaded with negative thoughts to purposely drive her downwards... what would happen if she was dragged down was certainly nothing good...

"RIO! SNAP OUT OF IT!!" Hana yelled. "RIO! DON'T LET IT CONTROL YOU!!" Kan followed.. but nothing... Until someone else's voice began echoing throughout the area.

"I'm sorry Rio...ever since I became Captain, I lost my way...I've become weaker...I can feel it"

Rio's ears perked up at the familiar sound, listening closely to it.

"...the truth is...I'm only strong because of you, you're what gives me strength...If I've lost you, then I've nothing left to fight for...so death will be the only fitting thing for me...I don't want to live in a world without you, I can't..."

Kan and Hana heard Kaizo's voice which caused them to faintly wonder how and why they were able to hear it but that wasn't important at the moment... what was important was saving Rio...

All of a sudden, Rio's hand latched back onto Kan's wrist. She was oddly smiling softly. Inside her mind, the negative thoughts were slowly being overrun with thoughts of Kaizo which helped slowly bring her back to reality. "... Kaizo..."

- Back in the normal world -

Rio continued to watch Kaizo, listening to his words. "... Kaizo..." Her voice sounded softer as she spoke Kaizo's name out of the blue before she blinked, her expression darkening suddenly. "Ulgh she isn't dead yet?!" Rio spoke to herself, clenching her right fist. "Damn that persistent bitch."

- Rio's inner world -

Kan began pulling harder when she felt Rio's hand grip her wrist again. "HANA PULL HARDER!" "I'M TRYING!!" Whatever was latching onto Rio didn't give up, however, with Kaizo on her mind, Rio refused to give in anymore. "Kaizo... help.... do what... you did.... before" Rio continued to speak, not realising that she was more connected to her body due to the black strands being connected to her.

- Normal world again -

Rio's tails began pulling Kaizo's limbs out further, looking at him with a blank stare. "Given up. How pathetic. You failed because you gave up, not that you had a chance to save her anyway. But honestly, a Captain such as yourself, giving up so easily over one person is utterly ridiculous. Does your own life not mean anything to you? Actually there is no need for you to answer that, it's clear your answer-Kaizo... help... do what... you did.... before-..." As she spoke, Rio's voice suddenly softened as words slipped out of her mouth uncontrollably before she suddenly covered it with her right hand. "Fuck." She murmured.

Kaizo put his hand to his mouth then tapped it a few times as he did a yawning motion "Shit, you just don't shut up do you?" Kaizo let his hand fall to to his side as he then watched Rio shunpo infront of him and slash at him. Kaizo's eyes widened as her blade cut up his torso however his eyes then narrowed as he grinned then laughed as he looked at Rio grinning "That's right Rio...cut me...hurt me...it's what want isn't it? you want to kill me...then do it!" Kaizo then threw his arms out either side of him "Strike me down then ...be rid of me" The grin on Kaizo's face then faded as he looked at Rio seriously, inside he knew what he was doing...but would or...more Rio notice...

Rio jumped back after landing her strike, paying attention to Kaizo while grinning. "Not only are you rude, you also think I'm stupid~ Do you think I can't tell that you're up to something? Ridiculous of you to underestimate me like that." She chuckled a little before continuing to speak. "You should watch what you're saying Kaizo, I can already feel Rio's pain towards what you've been saying to her~ How very disgusting of you to make her feel so horrible due to your words." Rolling her eye in a playful way, Rio's eye darkened while her grin stretched further. "I think now is a better time than any to show you a little secret~" As Rio spoke, she raised her energy and titled her head forward. Her fringe covered her eyes while the only visible part of her face was her toothy, sinister grin. "Oh how I've waited so long to do this again~" Crystal began tearing out of her back as her mouth emitted pained grunts, growing to form large crystal fox-tails. The tails laid flat on floor behind her as they continued to grow, the tips covered in blood. Once all of her tails had formed, Rio flicked her head up to look at Kaizo, her normal eye colour swirling into a cloudy silver. Without another word, four fox-tails would shoot towards each of Kaizo's limbs before the tips would wrap tightly around them, holding Kaizo in place while the two wrapped around his arms began pulling both of his arms outwards lightly if he was caught.

Kaizo looked at Rio as she skidded back, he watched as she turned back and forth time and time again, it was like some sort of sick game but Kaizo showed no emotion to this instead he only spoke "I'm tired of you chatting your ass of already, just come at me already. No matter how you think this will end it will be with Rio in my arms.... Rio should be used to this harsh sort of treatment...it's what helped her get so strong in the first place...something Kurisa Kuchiki applied to those he taught...I guess you could say I inherited that from him...I see why now..." Kaizo tilted his head to the right a little then spoke "If you are trying to target my emotions and my bond to Rio then you're wasting your time...because I will crush every bone in that body of yours, I will leave you motionless...all you will be able to do is watch and listen as I speak..." Kaizo looked to Rio with cold eyes, he knew this would be risky...but he wouldn't do such a thing without a back up plan "So thank you for crushing your left arm...you've already done some of the work for me...I wonder...how easy will your right break?" Kaizo then chuckled and spoke "So...tell me ...Can you count?" Kaizo held up his right hand just infront of his face as he showed all his fingers and his thumb then began speaking "You know you've got yourself in a shitty position. You're not only fighting me but you are fighting the Rio I know...and I can tell she is leaps and bounds infront of a piece of trash like you...so now you've got to take getting your ass beat here and also within your own soul...it's 2 vs 1...and if you think you can turn those odd's on me...you're very much mistaken" A grin formed on Kaizo's face as he looked at Rio, purposely looking into her normal eye as to avoid the crystal eye. "So quit wasting my time and come at me already!"

Amidst her screaming, Rio's eyes widened further before she grit her teeth at what Kaizo was saying, repressing her voice until she suddenly grinned. Titling her head down a little, Rio looked at Kaizo and chuckled darkly, finally releasing her left arm but now suddenly unaffected by it. "Heh, is that so~" Rio continued to watch Kaizo, finding what he said amusing, making her laugh for a moment. "You foolish man~ Your so called bond with Rio will soon, very soon, be severed~ I've already won against one side, if I hadn't how would I be here before you despite her trying to come back? The screams of your loved one has disappeared so what must that mean hmmm?~" Rio titled her head to the right as her left arm dangled lifelessly against her body. "You're running out of time Kaizo~.. And for the record yes, I can count. Also why not test how easy my right could break if you're that curious~" Her grin stretched a little further when Kaizo urged for her to attack. Picking up her other blade, so she held both hilts with her right hand, Rio shunp'ed before reappearing in front of Kaizo, faster than before. She then aimed to slice from Kaizo's bottom right to top left diagonally upwards.

Kurisa said
Kaizo continued to stand with his back to Rio as she then turned and cut his back causing his eyes to widen as he fell forward slightly yet Rio would then feel wind rush past her, if she turned to look behind her she'd see Kaizo not to far from her, the Kaizo she attacked nothing more than an afterimage, Leaving his top half off his uniform behind. He could then be seen aiming his right palm at her and firing Tenran at her, the wind suddenly now rushing towards her as the tornado aimed to cut her slightly but most importantly reduce distance between Kaizo and her. Kaizo then spoke as the tornado would disperse "You speak about this strength and speed you have...which I don't doubt you have, but I always pay close attention to you...I had eyes on you at nearly all times, even when I was miles away from you I was still getting information on you.." Kaizo's grin then grew a bit "So I know a lot more about you than you think! So come on then If you want me out of your life so badly...you best quit trying to play games with someone who knows all your tricks" Kaizo then chuckled a little waiting to see what Rio's reaction would be

Rio's grin grew when her cuts landed, but then a rush of wind flying passed her caused it to falter a little while turning around to look behind herself. It was a fake, but Rio wasn't disheartened; shown by the grin growing larger on her face once more. Turning to face him, Kaizo fired a Tenran at her in which she lifted both arms up and crossed them in front of her face. Her eye-patch was soon long gone, blown off by the strong wind, however Rio kept her right eye closed instinctively. The second the wind began cutting her skin, the glint disappeared unexpectedly. 'H-Huh?!' Suddenly fighting against the Hado, Rio began skidding back quite some distance however refused to let her body fly back, stomping her feet into the ground to keep her on the floor. Quite a few cuts added to her body and clothes before the Hado had finally finished.

As Rio began opening her eyes, both eyes, she noticed Kaizo when he began talking, listening to him quietly.... 'O-out... of my life?' Absolutely speechless, Rio didn't understand anything that Kaizo was saying, but still hung on to each word none-the-less. ".. What... Just what is going on?!" She yelled, dragging her feet out of the holes she made. "I don't know what you're talking about Kaizo!!" Frustrated and confused, Rio just didn't know what to think or say... How the hell did she even get here anyway? "Hu... nn?" Tracing her fingers around her right eye, both of Rio's eyes widened followed by a gasp once she felt that her eye-patch wasn't there... yet despite her right eye being open, she couldn't see out of it as if she was still wearing the item of clothing... "Wh-what... is h-happening to m-Heheh... eheheh... eheheAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Rio's expression changed in an instant, her grin returning along with the glint again.

"Thank you for ridding me of that piece of annoying cloth~ I can see more clearly now without the need o-... Anyway. There's something you've seem to of missed here Kaizo~ You know my techniques, but what about mine?" Rio stopped herself from saying too much before chuckling darkly after she spoke. Taking another step forward, she lifted her right arm... but then something seemed to be wrong... Looking down the left side of her body, Rio's eyes widened a touch as she pushed her right side forward. "Move Damm-UNN!... ... nnn..." The glint didn't disappear, however Rio's expression changed once more, this time to one of shock. "Kaizo! What's Wrong With Me?!" She suddenly yelled, sounding desperate. Rio's expression then changed once more after she moved her left foot to stand straight, her grin returning. "Nothing is wrong with me~ Nn... NO! SOMETHING IS!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!" Rio once again seemed to switch personalities in an instant, yelling at nothing, or more it seemed like she was... before switching back once more. "SHUT! UP! Now, get ready Kaizo!" Lifting her right sword up, Rio seemed as though she was getting ready to launch at Kaizo again, but was immediately blocked by her own left sword, switching personalities and expression another time. This time Rio scowled. "I don't think so. Don't even try." Within another second, she changed again. "Getting brave are we? Hmhmhm~... It's definitely time to put you down-Who the hell even are you?! Why are you controlling me like this?!-That's enough from you." Throughout the conversation, Rio continuously switched between the two persona's when her right hand opened, dropping her sword. Immediately it grabbed just above her left elbow with an iron grip before starting to squeeze.. tighter... and tighter... and tighter... It wasn't too long until the feeling and sounds of crushing bones were reached. Rio's eyes widened drastically before she began screaming, slowly crushing her own bones and digging her own nails deeply into her skin. Soon her left hand grew weak, dropping her other blade. Despite this, Rio's right hand continued to squeeze and crush her bones further as she screamed, unable to do anything about it... 'I c-can't move!!'

Kaizo watched Rio fly back from his hit then saw her slide across the ground, he saw her smack her head against a bamboo tree and cause of this she seemingly changed back to her normal self making his eyes widen a little then they soon narrowed as the glow returned to her eye, Kaizo listened to her speak which then caused a grin to form on his face as he then cocked his head back a bit and spoke "You know I do...I find it rather exciting, maybe it's the second division doing this to me...I've noticed the want to kill more and more with every passing mission...so now it's gotten to the point that I just can't wait to kill again!" Kaizo began chuckling a little as he watched Rio send crystal arcs towards him, Kaizo used his shunpo to dodge the arcs then to appear behind Rio, his back to hers "You know your skills look stronger...But you're far to slow" Kaizo then chuckled a little. He knew exactly what he was doing here...he already told this He was going to show her why he was the Captain of the Second Division...

Rio's eye jolted in slight shock at what Kaizo said, but soon turned amused. Kaizo dodged all of her arcs by shunpo'ing and appeared behind her, which she was expecting to happen since this was only the beginning of this fight. Rio simply looked back over her shoulder at Kaizo, not making any move as she listened with a grin. "Oh Kaizo~ You have absolutely no idea of how much stronger I've become~ And I may be slow but ever thought of why I'm hardly trying to get any faster? Heh heh heh~ You really don't pay attention to your Lieutenant girlfriend, do you Captain?" Rio spoke smoothly, chuckling darkly within her speech. Without giving Kaizo a chance to respond, Rio spun around with both of her Zanpakutos held out parallel, horizontally, aiming to slice along Kaizo's lower back. "Hmhmhm~ Interesting~ Looks like you're not as soft as I expected~ This only makes things alot more fun for me~" All the while Rio spoke, her grin never shifted along with the glint in her eye.
