Rio abruptly stopped running, facing forward with her mouth ajar and her eyes slightly wider. She gulped, unable to move. Kaizo's last words to her echoed through her mind. Yet again Rio found her hands holding her arching head. Gritting her teeth and closing her eyes, Rio leaned back, just about to launch into a run.

As Kaizo worked on getting more wood for the shack he sensed Rio's spiritual energy not that far off which made him drop the logs he was holding and burst into a run which then turned into a continues use of shunpo but doing this opened up a few more wounds but this didn't phase him [i]"I have to tell her...I have to let her know she isn't alone!"[/i] Kaizo then began shunpoing faster and faster until he reached near her, he saw her then about to burst into a run and jumped out to her and grabbed her left wrist with his right hand to stop her running "Rio...don't leave...not again...People need you here, I need you here...I want to help you all that I can! you don't need to go away and be alone to get stronger stay here and let me help you...we can grow stronger together..."
