'It's been too long since I've visited this place... Heh, nothing's changed here, it even smells the same'
Rio took a deep breath, inhaling the aroma that welcomed her. Continuing to walk forward, she scanned the area slowly, fully taking in every inch of it while admiring it. A familiar smile brightened her face a touch as she was rushed with memories of this place. 'Ahh, the shack is still here' Reminiscing while walking, Rio stopped next to the shack before placing her right hand on it, smiling at it for a moment before taking her hand off of it and walking deeper into the area. 'Heh heh, the spring is still as clear as I remember' She walked to the edge of the spring, bending down and setting the box she carried down beside her as she leaned forward and placed her fingers into the water. She swirled them around a little before lifting them out. 'Even the water temperature is the same...' Rio looked at the drops of spring water sliding down her fingers, smiling a little more before scooting herself back and laying down on the grass with both hands underneath her head. Looking up at the sky, she watched the fluffy clouds moving at a snail's pace through the blue gradating colour while the sun hid behind the clouds, peaking out ever so slightly. The time may of been slowly ticking by but Rio wasn't planning on going anywhere for a while. Reaching into her inner chest pocket, Rio pulled out Kenta's headphones, placing them in her ears to complete her sense of nostalgia. 'Ahh Kenta, you used to lay in this very spot... I guess after hearing your name today, I couldn't help but come to your not-so-secret hideout heheh.... It really has been too long since I visited here' Rio continued to watch the sky while thinking to herself with nothing but a small smile on her face. 'I still won't believe that you returned... I can't believe it until I see it.... but, surely if it was you, you've gone back by now... I guess I... I-I missed my chance of seeing you again....' She looked down, her smile flipping into a frown. 'It doesn't matter now... You've moved on and so have I... But no matter what, you'll still be my best friend...' Rio sighed before closing her eye. 'What am I thinking? I've got to let it go... You've more likely found someone else by now, heh I hope you have though... I don't like the thought of you being alone... You've probably change to the point that I wouldn't even know or recognise you anymore.... but then again, maybe I have... huu, I don't know...' Suddenly Rio's mind was given a blast from the past as random moments from when she joined Squad Six, when she met Kenta and his old friend and of while she was being trained by and following Captain Kuchiki ran through her thoughts. Rio then took another deep breath, but smiled once more. 'We have both changed so much since then, it's funny how that has happened without me noticing until now.... I know that if I was the same as I were back then, I'd most likely be crying over missing your visit but no... those tears would of been wasted... I'm done crying over what I've lost.' Rio opened her eye once more and observed the sky once again. 'Even if I never see you again, I'll always have our memories... I will never let them go' She continued to smile, silencing her mind as she just watched the sky. Rio wasn't really bothered by how it was soon getting late since she was in no rush to return to the Seireitei any time soon.
