Kaizo remained where he stood as he watched Rio take the attack, he then saw her dart out from the little smoke that remained and come at Kaizo aiming to cut him in what seemed like a cross pattern, Kaizo grabbed the hilt of his Zanpakuto with his left hand and ripped it out of it's sheath as he lifted his Zanpakuto to meet with Rio's as they crossed, effectively blocking both, he would then give one more harder push to break them apart before swinging the right side of his body in towards Rio as he right fist flew up towards her gut. He put enough force into the punch that he could send her back a little bit, Kaizo needed this sort of practice, it was good to combine something like Zanjutsu and Hakuda...it made him just that little bit more unpredictable

Rio focused on Kaizo's hands as he blocked her attack, giving a push to break it. She then quickly twisted her left hand so her Zanpakuto pointed downwards to block Kaizo's blade before it could reach close to her body. At the same time, she lowered her right Zanpakuto horizontally to block her gut. This would mean that her right sword would be between her gut and Kaizo's fist. He may of gained a cut across just below his knuckles on his hand but the force behind his fist still hit Rio, sending her to fly back a little before skidding to a stop. Dust drifted around her feet as she twisted her left hand back to point her sword straight up before launching again, twisting her body to the left so that it looked as if she was planning to cut across the top of Kaizo's chest with her right blade.
