Kaizo rubbed the back of his head and smiled as she spoke about the hut then he spoke "Well that is true I guess...you do have a better memory than me anyway" Kaizo then stopped rubbing the back of his head when she began talking about what happened "Why are you apologizing? It was me who came onto you...I couldn't help myself...I should be the one apologizing but...I wont...It may sound weird Rio but I felt a connection there...I don't know if you felt something but I did...and...I'll defiantly tell you when the hut is finished...but...yeah that's if you even want me around after what happened before...but I wont deny my feelings, I wont lie to myself...but...Rio...I'm not in Squad 4. I am in Squad 2...I was...requested for a mission by the Captain but Rio why are you apologizing about the fight? nothing was wrong...I understand how you were and I hold nothing against you at all but Rio you're strong also...I can see it and you may not but I can and I will help you see it...but I'm not as talented as you think I am...honestly. I do not deserve praise...but Rio...I'm sorry if I have...spoken out of line, the last thing I want is to scare you away...You do mean a great deal to me, more than you can imagine" Kaizo rubbed the back of his head and smiled slightly, he wasn't sure really how he should react with what he just said but this was just what seemed natural
Rio Okotaru Darishimo
Rio stood and listened. "I guess I do have a better memory heh" She let out a short chuckle noise before continuing to listen, waiting for him to finish everything he was saying before just standing there, blinking. After a few minutes, she let out a little amused sigh, not really knowing how to react to Kaizo spilling out how he felt. Come the think of it, Rio didn't know how she felt exactly... She knew that she did like him alot... But, she just wasn't ready to put her feelings into words. Maybe it's just the fact that she tended to try to get close with people she couldn't, knowing that she'd never be able to get close was kind of a way to stop her from feeling too much for one person and stop her from loosing her sense of independence... But now... Now that she had gotten closer with Kaizo, it seems that he had gotten closer to her aswell which scared her a little. Not because of him, she'd never leave Kaizo, but she was more scared of herself and what she might become.
Pushing all of that aside, the bottom line was that she liked Kaizo a huge amount and wouldn't leave him unless he asked her to go. "Oh right, Squad two, sounds like a good place to start housing your skills. And you do have talent, you just need to bring it out. I've felt you fight, when you were fighting someone who's spiritual pressure was off the charts. You faired well, and it even came to a draw it seemed. That right there is talent" She smiled, looking into his eyes. Rio then suddenly moved and began walking closer to Kaizo. He was much taller than her, but that didn't stop her from lifting her hands up and placing them on both of his cheeks. She stroked Kaizo's cheeks with both thumbs while smiling, her own growing a little pink but she didn't show any signs of hesitation. Instead, she gently pulled his face down and looked deep into Kaizo's turquoise eyes. "You will never scare me away Kaizo, so don't worry about that~" She moved her right hand back to softly stroke it into his chestnut hair. "Nor will I take what happened as anything negative. It felt right at the time... It still does feel right even now.... I just don't want to make you feel uncomfortable... If I am, tell me to stop~" She whispered as her lips drew closer to his. "You are such a gorgeous, intelligent and strong man... You shouldn't ever doubt yourself or any of your own abilities... You'll go far, just be patient~" And with that, Rio sealed their lips, pressing hers softly against Kaizo's for quite some time before pulling back and looking deep into his eyes once more.
