Kaizo continued to look down, his hair covering his eyes, the tears still running down his face as he felt his limbs being pulled out further. He listened as spoke then his eyes widened when her voice seemingly suddenly changed causing him to look up at her with his eyes still widened "R-Rio?" Kaizo looked into Rio's eyes, ignoring reaction to this he began to speak "Rio! come back! don't let this fake beat you! I need you here with me! I have nothing to fight for without you...nothing to live for...I never noticed this until now but you are my reason for living...every breath I take is for you, every single person I fight is for you! So long as I have you in my life I cannot lose! I will refuse to die no matter what! Because I refuse to leave you alone in this cruel world...much like you did for me...you took me in and restored my faith in this dark world...you're the light that allows me to fight the darkness the plagues our world...So do not leave me alone...do not lose! if I lose the very thing I love and the very thing the brings light to this world then I will have nothing...I will slip back into the darkness and what good will I be then?...So just come back to me already!" The tears still rolled down Kaizo's face however he continued to look into Rio's eyes...

Rio bit the palms of her hands harshly, hoping to cause inner Rio pain before she looked up at Kaizo angrily. Within a second, she was trapped in that gaze of his once again as he spoke, looking into both of her eyes once more. Her hands soon slowly slipped off of her face, unable to leave Kaizo's stare as if stuck in a tracker beam once again... 

- [i]Rio's inner world[/i] -

Kaizo's word once again penetrated the dark atmosphere, causing Rio to continue faintly smiling sadly. Kan and Hana were both still busy with trying to pull her up and onto the ledge they occupied, but were still unable to... whatever had Rio had an iron grip.... It continued to travel up Rio's body, capturing her left arm. [b]"RIO DAMMIT! KICK IT OFF OR SOMETHING!... UGH!! I CAN'T HOLD KAN BACK FOR MUCH LONGER!! I'M STARTING TO SLIP!!!"[/b] Hana yelled, hopefully reaching through to Rio to get her to actually do something... Hearing this made Kan's eyes widen. [b]"Shit... ARRRGH COME ON RIO!!"[/b] Kan grunted while still holding onto Rio's wrist tightly, this time with both hands as Hana's arms were secured around her waist. Hana could feel the force pulling her towards the edge, however she fought against it with as much force as she could muster for as long as she could. 

[i]Although[/i] Rio continued to do nothing but smile faintly, Kaizo's words the only thing she allowed herself to hear. [b]"Kaizo.... break me free..."[/b] She whispered once more before purposely scratching Kan's wrists with her one free hand. Kan wouldn't let go, but Rio didn't let up and continued to scratch harder until Kan inevitably released her unintentionally. [b]"RIO!!!!!"[/b] Kan screamed. [b]"OH NO!!!!"[/b] Followed Hana as both spirits leered over the edge of the ledge. Rio let her other arm drop as the black, web-like, thick strings attached onto her other arm.

- [i]Back to reality[/i] -

[b]"AGHHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"[/b] Rio suddenly screamed, gripping her hair while ripping out the hair-bands and squeezing her eyes closed at the same time. [b]"NO!... NONONO!!"[/b] Rio's voice grew angry as her tails began pulling Kaizo apart much stronger all of a sudden. Opening her eyes, one crystal and the other still a cloudy silver, she looked up at Kaizo with pure hatred and utter anger. [b]"[u]You're going to regret that!![/u]"[/b] Running towards Kaizo, Rio lifted her right hand, straightening her fingers as she aimed to pierce right through Kaizo's body.... but as she ran, her anger and hatred faded into a dazed expression while all of her tails abruptly shattered around them both, shards scattering to the floor as Rio looked at Kaizo with both eyes wide before opening her mouth, whispering as she got closer to him. [b]"Kaizo... break me free...."[/b] Her whispered, soft voice would echo inside Kaizo's mind also while her hand instead moved to gently touch Kaizo's chest with her palm. [i]'Join me...'[/i] Without her mouth visibly opening again, Rio's voice would enter Kaizo's mind once more as her crystal eye stayed pinned to Kaizo's eyes. 

At this moment, Kaizo's mind would go blank as he'd loose consciousness along with Rio, leaving them both to fall flat onto the ground, Rio landing on top of Kaizo's chest with her eyes still wide. 

Within a blink of an eye, Kaizo would find himself within Rio's inner world, lying on the dirt, scarcely grassy floor. Around him he would find many trees with pure black leaves while the floor beneath them would be littered with coral and pink leaves. Not too far in front of him, he'd find a large lake, the surface mirrored. Within a short moment later, screams of Rio's name from two women would emit from the lake, sounding faint as if far from where he was.
