Kaizo continued to hug Rio until she pulled back causing his eyes to widen a little when she then wiped his tears away with her thumbs, he noticed Rio was no longer crying anymore then his eyes widened further as she kissed him on the lips, this caused Kaizo's eyes however to return almost back to normal. When she leaned back again he noticed her smiling, this surprised him a little. Was she really this happy just because she was with him? Kaizo listened to her words then looked down a little, a small smile forming on his face as he then spoke "I love you to Rio...just remember you never have to do anything alone...I'm here for you, always..." Kaizo said, a smile forming on his face as he then wiped his face with his left sleeve "Heh, Look at me...the Squad 2 Captain crying. If my Squad members saw this they'd likely lose respect for me." Kaizo then gave a light chuckle as he stopped rubbing his eyes

Rio continued to smile softly up at Kaizo, happy to see he was calming down. [b]"I know Kaizo... you're the only person who has kept me sane and grounded so I know that you're here for me, as am I always here for you.... Besides, you know me.... You know me very well... That fact alone is enough to keep me from spinning out of control..."[/b] She took a step back to give him a little room while giggling a little as he wiped his face with his sleeve. [b]"Heh, I could say the same for myself. I wouldn't be taken seriously anymore if they saw"[/b] Rio then snook her right hand into Kaizo's left, intertwining their fingers together before turning away and looking back at him from over her shoulder with the same soft smile while tugging Kaizo a little. [b]"Let's head back Kaizo, surely I've taken up a little too much of your time. There's probably a long line of Shinigami outside of your office waiting by now"[/b] Rio chuckled a little more before letting go of Kaizo's hand, waiting from him to start walking so she could follow.
