[quote=Kurisa] "I understand...I'll take the help if it's going to be necessary and no worries..just doing my part to be good to another" Kaizo nodded "That's good then...it will take time but I will try get it into a livable state as soon as possible..." Kaizo then rubbed the back of his head "Oh well if its nice for you then hopefully I wont get in the way to much and don't worry I don't mind how you are...even if you were clingy it wouldn't bother me so don't worry...thank you again though...for letting me stay with you until I get this place into a good state" Kaizo looked around the hut then back to Rio "Well I'm hoping it will be a nice place eventually...so it may even work as somewhere you can get away from all the stressful work of being a Shinigami...and sure I guess we should go as soon as possible..." Kaizo could see Rio was getting cold and when she went to give him his top he shook his head "It's fine...put it on and keep yourself warm...I don't feel the cold anyway...trust me" Kaizo put his right hand on his left shoulder "My body is still warm and I'm not shivering so don't worry about me" Kaizo let out a small smile as he said that, then he walked past Rio and poked his head out the door and looked at the sky "Seems to be clearing...shall we go then?" Kaizo held his hand out. pointing it out the door to basically say for her to lead the way [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] Rio simply listened to Kaizo and watched him as he moved, shrugging or nodding her head every now and then. [b]"Well, Okay. I'm sure it wouldn't take too long for you to make this place liveable, but until then, you'll stay with me, and you're welcome"[/b] Holding Kaizo's top in her hands, she hoped that he was being truthful and not just trying to be a gentleman. While straightening and wiping all the dust off of her shihakushō, she felt a damp patch covering her left shoulder. Upon closer inspection, she realised that it was ripped and the dampness came from blood that seeped out of her wound. [i]'O yeah... I forgot to change my clothes after training with the Captain... Luckily it's dim in here so Kaizo mustn't of noticed it'[/i] Rio looked over to Kaizo, noticing him checking the weather and gesturing for her to lead. [b]"Yeah, sure, let's g-Actually... One minute"[/b] The candles were still lit so she wanted to make sure that the hut wouldn't burn down while the two were away. She walked around the hut, blowing out each and every candle until the inside was completely pitch black. Considering that it would have gotten dark outside, it would was much darker inside than if it was day time. Rio then quickly pulled Kaizo's top on, over her shihakushō's top. The darkness didn't phase Rio at all as she didn't need her vision to find out where people were, her mind was easily able to focus on spiritual energies and was now focused on Kaizo's. [b]"Let's go"[/b] Walking forward, Rio got closer to Kaizo and grabbed the wrist of his outstretched arm softly while continuing to walk out of the hut. Once out, she let him go and shut the hut door then began walking through the bamboo tress, towards the Seireitei. [b]"Follow me and stay close"[/b] She spoke while walking, without looking back.
