[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] Rio continue to run, even when she reached outside the Seireitei gates. She disguised her spiritual energy to the point that she couldn't be sensed by anyone what-so-ever continued to run further and further away from anywhere that that was familiar to her. Even when her legs began to ache and her muscles began to scream. Even when she lost her sense of direction and was unable to trace her steps back. [i]'I can't go back... I refuse to go back until I'm strong enough! I will not show my face until my power can equal or exceed a Captain's!'[/i] Her teeth were grit and eyes were focused, dead-set on her goal. She would not return until she had achieved more than she aimed for... [u]Fumio Hari Kouineji[/u] Fumio watched the leader with a bored look when... something, or more [i]someone[/i] caught his attention from the corner of his eye. [img=http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y404/AbigailTenshi/6aabf096cc49565c0aab2c795096bc25-d47pi0b_large_zps1ec17598.jpg] This mysterious man stole Fumio's gaze, returning it with a smirk. On the left side of his face was the number 2 branded deep into his skin, close to his left ear which was only seen as the man moved his hair to flash it to Fumio. The man seemed to be happy to of found Fumio, but the same couldn't of been said about Fumio. [i]'He's found me... Dammit'[/i] Spotting the 2 caused Fumio to rub the back of his neck, underneath his bright, crimson hair. He then slowly began to walk around the trio's leader, completely ignoring him, and over to the mysterious man while unsheathing his Zanpakuto. The whole time, Fumio firmly held his penetrative stare into the mysterious guy's oddly colour reddish-blue eyes. The guy watched Fumio and turned, walking away but seemingly leading Fumio to a different, unknown area, unsheathing his own Zanpakuto also. [i]'2... Heh just 7 more left'[/i] A disturbing, utterly sadistic grin spread across Fumio's face whilst fire lit inside his eyes. He knew exactly what would happen next and couldn't wait to get started. Just at that moment there was a blinding flash of light behind him, Aya and the other guy disappeared. Fumio was too busy focusing on this mysterious guy to notice.
