Saoji paused for a bit and sighed. He saw how apologetic Ione was and smiled at her. That slap in the face by Paige hurt pretty bad. No doubt that was one of their abilities. He saw the visibility of the ectoplasm once it touched his cheek, leaving a slight green tint which wasn't all that visible. Rubbing his cheek he just kinda shrugged it off. He actually felt a little guilty upsetting Paige like that. He wish he could see her physically so he could apologize to her. He slightly bowed to in front of them.

**"Forgive me, Paige...I didn't mean to. I won't harm her, I promise. You have to believe me."** he said a bit desperately. He really wanted Paige to stop torturing him and see the potential in him.

He looked up at Ione.

**"I can tell she is really protective of you...I wish I had that in my life. It seems I am the only person who can protect me. Hey...you want to go to the library with me? After reading this book...I want to find more like it...I was actually thinking about checking out a movie or something there...if you care to join me?"** he said as he smiled. 

It was funny how quickly Saoji could forget something that happened. Then again, it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't as if he was slapped in the face by someone physically where everyone could see. Paige was a ghost so it was quite alright...he didn't feel as embarrassed. He can't even see her. But he had to prove to Paige that he wasn't a bad person at all. That everyone has him so misunderstood. 

**"Well? how about it?"** he grinned.
