Juki listened to Ritsuna then watched as she left...she was quite caring despite how she was when people acted out of line she was quite the caring type, it was nice to see this side of her..well this side of her with other people~Underground~As Kaizo sat against the boulder thinking he heard Ritsuna's voice, he instantly snapped out of his day dream and expected to get told off for something however when she got to him what she said shocked him a little...well a lot...Kaizo looked up to her then down to the floor "It's fine don't worry about it, I know you are just doing what you enjoy which is serving Master Juki. As for whats wrong...it's hard to think where to begin...I guess number one is being arrested for a crime I didn't commit and then set free by someone I don't even know..being forced to go on the run just to try survive and then having to leave the love of my life behind then spend over a year training to get stronger so I can protect her, only to find out I'm still not strong enough after everything...it just makes me doubt whether I'll ever be strong enough to protect her..."

Ritsuna took a seat onto the ground before Kaizo began talking, getting comfortable as he shared his feelings with her. She listened closely, truly interested in what he had to say. It wasn't until after he spoke did she share her thoughts. [b]"Kaizo, I understand that it's been tough for you... My Master is trying the best he can to aid you in your goals. Things will change and get better once you've learned all that Master Juki has to offer you... You've just got to be patient. If your lover has survived through the whole time of you being here, she'll be able to continue to until you can reach her again... Just keep reminding yourself of who you're doing all of this for, but don't just do it for others, do it for yourself also. How are you able to protect others if you can't protect yourself? Think about that, let it give you the motivation you need to get stronger, faster and more skilled... Then when you do return to your home, you'll be able to protect yourself as well as your loved ones...."[/b] Ritsuna tried her best to comfort Kaizo and motivate him... whether it was working or not was an entirely different story....
