Rio continued to smile softly up at Kaizo, happy to see he was calming down. "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..." She took a step back to give him a little room while giggling a little as he wiped his face with his sleeve. "Heh, I could say the same for myself. I wouldn't be taken seriously anymore if they saw" 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. "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" Rio chuckled a little more before letting go of Kaizo's hand, waiting from him to start walking so she could follow.

Kaizo looked down as Rio spoke before slowly looking up at her as she wiped his face "I can say the same about you..." a small smile formed on his face "I wouldn't be to worried...I'd remind them why I was their Captain if need be" Kaizo then felt Rio grab his right hand and tug it a little "I-I don't think I'm going back yet...I need a little time to myself, to get my mind back into shape. You go on ahead, I'll be there soon" Kaizo said with a soft smile [i]Why can I see how out of control I would have been without Rio? why can I see it clear as day...is that what I would have become? so hell bent on the thought of killing my father that I would have been so reckless? if I never met you Rio...I can't help but imagine just how different of a person I'd be right now...[/i]
