[quote=Kurisa] "You do have a point...I will try do that from now on...guess it takes more than just constant training to get stronger..." Kaizo listened to Rio talk more then replied "Well I will gladly listen...I have no problems with that...I don't really have answers but still if it helps you it's better than doing nothing and anyway I'm sure you will do well and become a great Shinigami....if a Captain will personally train you then that must mean you have something special" Kaizo rubbed the back of his head and continued to look away "It's okay...it will take time to fix this place up and really I want to do it myself so I can truly feel proud of something I managed to make or...rebuild...no offence...just how I am.." he realized this sort of left him with only one option and seeing Rio rest her head on her knee's he couldn't help but feel bad...she must have been getting cold and must have felt bad for him and although he didn't want to really do what he was going to do he felt he had no choice...he didn't want to hurt her feelings..."Well...guess those are a few things we have in common...they aren't the sort of things you celebrate but still...they're something...and I know you're not trying to harm me don't worry..so if it's okay and not any trouble for you I will come back with you if you want...I will try get this place into a state where I can live in it without you worrying as soon as possible so I don't overstay my welcome but when it is in good shape you will be more than welcome to visit and even stay here if you need to get away from everything...I don't mind...it would be the least I could do to repay you taking me in for a bit..." Kaizo looked up at Rio and looked her in the eyes for a few seconds before looking up at the roof..."thank you for the help...I have a feeling that I will finally be able to get somewhere starting from now...and I will never forget you for this as you would have been the first person to help me making you an already important person to me..." [/quote] [u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u] [b]"Good. I'm not saying that you should take unneeded help, that's the lazy way out, only take it when you feel it's completely necessary"[/b] Rio smiled a little and looked at Kaizo as he continued to talk. [b]"And I'll listen to you.... Thank you... I'm glad you think so... It really does mean a lot"[/b] She averted her eyes back to the floor and chuckled softly again. [b]"None taken. I know that you want to fix it up by yourself, then it'd be a true depiction of your self improvement. That's why I said for now, as a temporary type of thing"[/b] She rested her chin back onto her knees and kept her ears open, continuing to listen to Kaizo. As Rio continued to listen, her eyes slowly widened while she turned her face to look at him. [b]"Of course it wouldn't be any trouble. In fact, it would be nice to have someone around... It can get pretty lonely at times... B-But don't worry, I'm not the clingy type so you'll be able to do what you want, I just want to make sure that you're taken care of so you can focus... You'll be welcome to come stay with me any time you need to for as long as you want"[/b] A bright smile light up Rio's face and her eyes softened during the few seconds Kaizo held eye-contact. [b]"I wouldn't mind visiting you often when you've fixed up this place, it'd be nice to see how you get on"[/b] The last thing Kaizo said cause Rio to look away, unable to stop smiling as a warm feeling sparked inside her heart. [b]"... Please make sure you don't... And that's wonderful to hear... So, shall we get going once the rain has stopped?"[/b] It's not that Rio was eager to get out of the place, she was starting to like it here.... But it was too damn cold and if she was freezing, who know's how a shirtless Kaizo was feeling... Rio then stood and picked up Kaizo's top, straightening it out and wiping all the dust off of it before handing it back to Kaizo. [b]"Put this back on, it's too cold to be shirtless"[/b]
