Kurisa said
Kurisa watched Rio wake up and saw a smile appear on her face for a very little time before changing to an expression of seriousness but Kurisa's expression remained the same for the entire time he looked at her. "You should go rest now Rio..." Kurisa then turned and walked to the exit of the room then stopped before getting there and spoke "I was just doing what a Captain should do...there is no need to thank me...now I must go return to my office to finish my paperwork..." Kurisa then exited the room and made his way to his office to finish his paperwork that had likely built up already...
Rio Okotaru DarishimoRio made sure to stand straight and listen carefully. The sound of the Captain's emotionless voice was very effective in draining whatever trace of joy Rio had shown in her face. With utter seriousness, she watched the Captain leave the training room; leaving her completely alone.
"Huuu..." Rio closed her eyes and sighed.
'I know deep down he has a heart... But it doesn't hurt to show a little human-like emotion every now and then...' The memory of the Captain's smile entered her mind, causing her to open her eyes slightly and deepen her small frown.
'Such a beautiful smile... But something tells me that I'll never get the privilege to see that again.... A true shame really' Looking up, Rio shook her head to reset her thoughts. The smile she fought came running straight back at the thoughts of what she had accomplished so far.
'Yes! I finally have my Shikai and have met my Zanpakuto's! Now it's time to train with them and learn more about them. But first... I should show Kenta. I doubt I'd get any more of a reaction out of him than Captain Kuchiki's but still, I want to show him and maybe we'll be able to train again. That would be fun' Rio moved her right foot forward towards the door, but had to stop moving and winced, closing one eye.
'Damn... I almost forgot... Captain said that I should rest... But first I'll show Kenta... Then rest... It's only a little bit of pain, nothing I can't handle' She released a deep breath and stood up straight, beginning to walk towards the door.
'Just ignore the pain. I'll rest later' The second she left the room, she began to pick up her pace to the point that she started running. The best place that she felt she would find Kenta was his hideout area so that was the first place she chose to look for him.
"Not here..." It took Rio a little longer than it usually would to get there due to her injuries but she made it nonetheless.
'+Maybe he's training elsewhere?+' A familiar voice suddenly entered Rio's mind.
'... Hana?' '+Yes it's me, chill out hehe+' 'Oh, Okay... Well I don't know anywhere else he'd like to train... I'll just wait for him here. I think there's a hot spring here somewhere... I remember seeing Kenta use it-Ahh, there it is' Rio made her way over to said spring.
'I'll just soak in here while I'm waiting.' Without any delay, Rio stripped herself of all of her clothes and placed her Zanpakuto's beside the the hot spring's edge.
The water felt wonderful on Rio's screaming muscle's and aching injuries, causing her to let out a huge sigh of relief and contentment. The steam caressed Rio's face gently, welcoming her. Sinking further into the warm body of water, she found herself submersing her whole body under the liquid, closing her eyes to allow herself to fully relax and her body to gradually recover.
