Ashido continued to heal the man, he could see the woman was tearing herself apart over this and he did want to ask what had happened but felt it was best not to...not right now. Instead he only nodded to what she just managed to say...right now...he could only hope this guy survived...-Within Kaizo's inner world-Kaizo awoke in his inner world, he was on top of the large tower that was the center focus of his inner world "What the hell happened? why am I here?" Kaizo then sat up and looked around to see his Zanpakuto spirit behind him looking out into the distance of his inner world "K-Kyo-" "" Kaizo listened to what little Kyotetsu said then began using his senses and instantly something was off...very off which caused his eyes to widen and made him jump to his feet "What the hell is that!? that power..it's...something else...why is it here?" Kyotetsu crossed his arms then spoke "" Kaizo's eyes remained widened as listened to Kyotetsu "How the hell am I supposed to deal with that!? what is it!? can't we stop it?" Kyotetsu Simply shook his head then spoke "" Kaizo listened to Kyotetsu...he had never heard him be so serious, Kaizo closed his eyes then nodded "Understood...it's going to be something difficult to fight then..." Kaizo then closed his eyes once again as he listened to the lave running off the cliff bubble and splash, waiting for the moment he went back to the real world-Back to healing-Ashido continued to heal Kaizo and suddenly noticed his heart rate increase "It seems he might be ready to come back soon...his heart rate has increased..." Ashido said hoping to ease the girls mind...

Rio continued to watch in silent agony. This sight... The look of someone she cared so much for.... dying.... in front of her eyes was all just too much for her to handle, yet, she couldn't tear her eyes away, she needed to watch. It was the price she had to pay... for getting too close to someone. Rio should of known... Clearly it must of happened with all of her family and friends since she had none... Getting close to a person would only caused them pain. As she watched patiently, she could hear her own heartbeat in her ears. It thumped anxiously... But then a simple sentence reinforced her hope. [b]"R-Really?!"[/b] She stared at Kaizo more intently. [b]"P-please move... do something... say something"[/b] She whispered, desperate for a reaction.
