[quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio stood in complete silence, gulping while keeping her gaze facing the floor. Two arms suddenly pulled her into a hug which surprised her but she gently hugged back none-the-less. Rio looked away from Kaizo, wondering which would be the best way to explain the situation in a way that it didn't seem too bad... Unfortunately, she couldn't come up with a way but still decided to gave it a shot regardless... Sighing, Rio pulled back from the hug while closing her right eyelid to look at Kaizo. Rio lifted her left arm to hug her right arm to the right side of her body before looking down at Kaizo's feet. [/quote] Kaizo listened to Rio speak, everything she said made him angrier but he wouldn't show this side of him. Kaizo simply closed his eyes and listened, focusing his breathing as he tried to suppress the anger. Kaizo knew Rio would find it out of character if Kaizo were to ask who had done it and so he simply left that, Kaizo then raised his right hand to Rio's chin and lifted her head up lightly as he then kissed her before pulling away and speaking "Don't worry about it...if it has done you good then I guess it is okay. It doesn't justify this person doing this to you but if you do not wish me to get angry then I will not. As for how I've been? miserable...I've missed you, this place, my job...I missed it all but I missed you the most...but me coming back any earlier would have only endangered you...the only reason I came back then was to protect everyone, I wouldn't be able to bare it if you got hurt by them..."
