Kaizo nodded at Rio then watched her as she told him that she loved him also which made him smile, maybe it was a bit soon to announce it but he was sure of his feelings...positive...this would last and he'd make sure of that. Kaizo then kissed Rio once more then he slowly pulled away and spoke "I'll do everything and anything for you Rio...I'll protect you and I'll help you no matter what. It may seem a little sudden but...I am sure of my feelings Rio and I am going to follow them not deny them...I know this could be something perfect which is why I am willing to risk everything we had up until now to go for it...of course if things don't work out then things wont really ever be the same but in my heart I know it will work out...I'll make sure of it..." Kaizo smiled once more as he gave Rio a light hug

Rio listened to Kaizo, allowing him to kiss her again and give her a hug. Her eyes squeezed shut as she hugged Kaizo back. It took all ounces of her strength to prevent the single tear threatening to drop from escaping her eyes. She didn't want to cry, it was embarrassing... She just felt a little emotional since ever since she had lost her memories, no one was ever with her, beside her. Rio was used to just doing her own thing, staying alone as she kept to herself... At times it could be draining and difficult, but no matter what, she'd never give up and just kept moving forward. But now Kaizo's with her... And he feels the way he does... Rio may not be alone for the rest of her life after all. It felt different, would take some getting used to, but the bottom line was that it was good, very good. Rio hugged Kaizo a little tighter before letting go, looking down onto the table with a little chuckle.
