[quote=Kurisa] Kaizo looked at Rio as she covered her eyes, this made him smile as he then began leading her through what seemed like a forest, it was a little bit of a walk but eventually Kaizo halted, he then put his right arm around Rio as he guided her to take a few more steps forward then he spoke "You can open your eyes" He may have said eyes but this if anything showed he thought of Rio no differently with her eye patch...the crystal was still an eye after all. When Rio would open her eye she would see that they were in the bamboo forest she first met him in and the hut that had been destroyed was entirely rebuilt...but much larger, a great deal larger...it was more of a house now than a hut and outside were Onmitsukido guarding it "So what do you think? this is our own little place...away from the Seireitei. I built it with my own two hands" Kaizo didn't mention the few failed attempts where he was almost crushed by it falling down but these mistakes only taught him what to do and how to do it perfectly [/quote] Rio continued to walk through the dirt path, trying not to trip over branches and such as both of her eyes were covered. It was quite a bit of a walk, however she didn't mind since it was just nice to just be with Kaizo without having to worry about what Squad members might of thought as she felt that if their relationship was more openly shown, there would be members speculating about whether she had actually worked for her position or was just given it due to her being in a relationship with the Captain. Whether or not people would of actually thought that, Rio wasn't going to give anyone a chance to as she felt it would end up in Squad members not taking her seriously or mocking her authority due to her relationship. Anyway, the walk in itself was nice and her eyes being covered made it even better as she had a reason to depend on Kaizo, giving Rio an excuse to lean her head against his chest when he wrapped his arm around her as they walked at a comfortable pace. A few more steps later, Kaizo told Rio that she could open her eyes. Standing straight, Rio moved her hands and opened her left eye. Her mouth gently feel open as she stared at the building with a widened eye. She then looked around her, instantly recognising the area. Closing her mouth, Rio smiled widely, joy showing in her eye and she listened to Kaizo. [b]"Oh Kaizo, it's perfect~"[/b] She looked up at him, just about to lean in but then remembered that they weren't alone so she just looked back at the building. [b]"I can't believe you finally did it heheh~ I had no idea that you were still working on this~ I guess things haven't changed too much"[/b] Rio just couldn't describe how happy she felt, mainly because looking at the building reminded her of the first conversation her and Kaizo had... It was so long ago, however Rio could remember it crystal-clear. [b]"I just don't know what to say~ This is a truly beautiful building~... Thank you for showing me Kaizo"[/b]
