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..."

Rio prepared for whatever Kaizo's response might of been, however, she certainly didn't expect to be gently pulled into a kiss. As he guided her chin, Rio made sure her right eye was closed... She didn't want to look at him with her crystal eye and so she made sure she didn't while kissing back softly before listening to the sound of Kaizo's soothing voice. [b]"I see..."[/b] Relief ran through Rio's body as she was glad that Kaizo wasn't angry, and to hear that he missed being here made her feel unusually comforted... She guessed it was due to the fact that he hadn't moved on from his place here yet... or from her. [b]"Atleast you're back now and not hurt... I've missed you much more than I had expected I would... And with everything that's been going on here lately, we could use your help to defend the Seireitei"[/b] A smile drifted across Rio's lips. [b]"Thank you for returning Kaizo"[/b]
