Rio couldn't explain the rush of emotions currently surging through her... They were all good but there were just too many to describe just how happy she felt. "I remember that very well Kaizo~ And... I know... Thank you so much for including me... I know I may not be the most affectionate partner in the world... but I want you to know that I truly do care about you Kaizo, which is why I never left you alone, I took you with me because I care and now look at you. You're a Captain with great strength and have gone through so much and prevailed.... I'm so proud of you Kaizo, and quite surprised with how far we've come as a couple. But none-the-less I'm entirely grateful~ And I... em... you know I... I love you... Right Kaizo?" Rio looked down as she started blushing quite a bit. Clearly she still wasn't used to moments like this but that didn't mean they didn't make her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. [/Quote]

Kaizo continued to look down at Rio smiling as he listened to her before speaking himself "Well you are apart of my life, a large part of it and so you deserve to be included. I know you do Rio, I know you well, at least I like to think I do" Kaizo said followed by a nervous chuckle "That I am grateful for...as I said if it weren't for you I wouldn't be where I am now, it's because of you that I got to where I am now. Thank you...it makes me happy to know I've made you proud and we have come far haven't we" Kaizo said as he looked up to the house smiling then looked down to Rio to see her blushing which made him chuckle "of course I know that silly. You do know that I love you also right?" Kaizo said with a chuckle
