[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

Picking herself back up and standing, Rio kept her eyes closed, breathing in the crisp, cool air. She clenched and unclenched her fists before letting her eyes slowly drift open as if she had finally woken up from a really long sleep. [i]'+Rio?... I know we have been silent but... You need to stop this. It's getting you nowhere... What even happened anyway? You were always one to stay strong and calm no matter what, despite everything you've been though. But... You've seemed to of let yourself fall... Just stop it. You know better.+'[/i] Hana finally spoke up with a soft tone, this time Rio wouldn't let herself feel bad, she had just about enough of this... She needed to do something about this. [b]"... You're right Hana... But relax, that was just... A minor set back.... I don't know, I just didn't feel like doing anything anymore... But that's over. I'm ready to start moving forward. I don't care for dwelling on anything anymore. I think I can finally get back to what's important and realise that I don't need to depend on anyone other than you two... Well... More like work together with you two, I want us to be able to depend on each other"[/b] For the first time in a while, Rio let a small smile seep onto her face. [i]'-Good. We're glad to finally have you back. I was getting pretty sick of your behaviour... You were being irresponsible and pitiful.-'[/i] Inside Rio's inner world, Kan crossed her arms as Hana smirked a little, in a happy way, glad that Rio had finally came to her senses. [i]'-Do it again and I'll drag your ass in here and personally beat the life out of you. You understand?-'[/i] Kan spoke in a stern way. [b]"Heh, I understand"[/b] Rio smirked. [i]'-Good. So, what now... bluebird?-'[/i] [b]'I'm going to go to the Captain an-Wait... Bluebird? What?"[/b] Rio raised an eyebrow in slight confusion. [i]'-It's an old nick-name Crims--'[/i] [i]'+I-It's nothing Rio heh heh. Now go!+'[/i] Hana interrupted Kan with what sounded as a nervous tone followed by a slight chuckle. Rio thought about it... But soon dropped the subject and began to walk out of Kenta's hideout and back to her room. [b]"Well... Okay then. Anyway, I need to finish everything I didn't do before I go visit the Captain... I've got alot of paperwork to finish..."[/b] [i]'+Right heh heh... Maybe later we'll train! We've already polished what you already know, maybe we'll teach you something new!+'[/i] Hana responded in a cheery tone. [b]"Sounds great"[/b]
