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. "Oh Kaizo, it's perfect~" 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. "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" 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. "I just don't know what to say~ This is a truly beautiful building~... Thank you for showing me Kaizo" [/Quote]

Hearing Rio's reaction made him smile, he was glad she liked it. Kaizo then looked to her to see her physical reaction, his smile growing wider "I'm glad you like it. Remember when I told you this represents something and that as I grow it to will grow? well it has done just that...but now it represents the both of us...it stands strong and it'd take the strongest of storms to break it but even then it will be rebuilt...never will it fall to the ground as if it never existed in the first place...no matter what. I will make sure this house remains perfect, that goes for us to...I want you to know that I am here for you Rio, as your partner and Captain...I will go through hell and back if it means you stay in my arms. If it weren't for you I would never have had a reason to keep going...all those times I could have gave up I didn't because of you...so this house...means a great deal to me. It is our home...I hope one day we can retire and live here happily together..." Kaizo then closed his eyes as he thought for a moment, a smile still on his face
