Kaizo watched Rio as she broke down, seeing this made his heart plummet...he felt so useless at times...as if he couldn't do anything for her. This was a time he thought she'd need him but the more he looked at her he just saw her dealing with this alone...it made him feel pitiful, useless...all he wanted to do was be there for her, to embrace her...but it seemed she didn't want to seek comfort in him. This caused a sharp pain to shoot through Kaizo's heart, yet he clenched his fists...taking a deep breath as he thought to himself [i]How does a Shinigami like you die Kurisa Kuchiki? I fought you...I can see now just how strong you really are...I wont accept this...[/i] Kaizo then looked to Rio [i]I will do everything I can Kurisa Kuchiki...I will make sure the one who took your life suffers...[/i] Kaizo then closed his eyes for a moment then opened them before reaching out to Rio and pulling her into his chest, wrapping his arms around her as he placed his right hand on the back of her head, he then looked down at her, a serious expression on his face "I promise Rio...I will find who did this to Kurisa Kuchiki...I'll make sure they suffer for this...I'm sure many others are thinking the same, so this person who did this...they don't understand just how many lives Kurisa Kuchiki affected...and as a cause of this, he has inspired us all to work harder than we ever have...that man is a truly incredible person and is worthy of holding the title of the model Shinigami. I just want you to know Rio...I'm here for you...I don't want you to keep these emotions to yourself, it's only going to tear you up inside...As your Captain and your partner I cannot allow that...I now have a promise to fulfil and I will make sure that is done. If you feel like you are going to crumble then come to me...I will keep you together...I don't want you loosing anything, you mean to much to me for that to happen..." Kaizo then looked to the Squad 2 members, his expression still serious as they to showed serious expressions. By now they knew Kaizo's relationship with Rio and he had made sure that they never dared to even think a single disrespectful thought...
