"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH!" Kitty yelled a week later while running through the base, waking everyone up.

"Goddamnit Trowa! Stop giving her sugar!" Viper yelled, "It's like letting Duo do what he wants with explosives!"

Trowa walked by the room, grinned sheepishly and headed down. Now, extremely pissed off at being woken up for the third time in a row by Kitty that week, she put on a black miniskirt and a black shirt that hung off her shoulder.

"A little dressed up, are we?" Paine raised an eyebrow.

"Duh, I'm going to see Kiyo," she said, grabbing a piece of toast and walked out the front door.

"Who's Kiyo?" Duo asked.

"Kiyo Wang" she said. He gave her a confused look, "Hello? That multi- billionaire?"

"How does she know him?"

"He's Kitty's half-brother. She's probably going to his office since she's so dressed up. Nobody gets to see him without 'proper clothes' according to his secretary"

"Oh...so why's she going there?"

"How the hell should I know?"

~* * *~

Kiyo looked up from his paperwork when he heard yelling out in the hall.

"Ms. Tang, that is not proper clothing!" Candice was trying to be calm.

"I say it is; compared to my other clothes"

"It's not proper enough!"

Kiyo grinned, recognizing Viper, "Let her in Candice" he said. Viper grinned at him and followed him back into his office.

"What do you want Viper?"

"Kiyo, I need that IHD thing you discovered..."

"Why? You know that stuff is dangerous for someone like you"

"I know but Ryo used his torturing on me a week or so ago and it hasn't disappeared"

"Why didn't you come to me before? You know Ryo's torture tactics can be deadly..."

"I wanted to see if my body would heal by itself"

"You are so..." Kiyo said, trying to think of a word to describe what she was but couldn't think of anything.

"Go on...continue..."

"Never mind; but Viper; you know what IHD will do to you?"

"Other than the fact that my abilities will be enhanced, nothing"

"Your abilities will enhance five percent each time you take it and after a while, two percent of it will fade; that's the side effect but in order for IHD to work, you have to take it directly after an encounter with Ryo-like techniques, which you haven't...you've waited a week..." his tone was serious and Viper tensed.

"So what will happen?"

"The average person only needs to take it once but you'll need to take it regularly; the effects of Ryo's powers will have practically dominated your body and unless I come up with a permanent IHD for you, you'll have to keep taking it or the full force of his powers will put you into an emergency room one day when the IHD is overpowered, which is when you don't take it regularly"

"Can't I just take a lot of it at once?"

"No, if you take too much, the power enhancement will grow out of control"

"Damn...fine, can you work on the permanent one and give me the temporary IHD now?"

Kiyo gave her a tiny box that was filled with average-sized pills that were yellow in color and was in a rounded rectangular shape.

"Thanks Kiyo"

"No problem; tell my sister I said hi"

"No worries, I will" Viper said, waving as she left his office.

~* * *~

"Kitty, shut the hell up, will you?!" Paine yelled at Kitty.

"Trowa, if you give her sugar again, I swear..." Sakura warned, nursing a headache.

"SHUT UP WILL YOU?!" Viper yelled suddenly. Everyone stopped to look at her; she got up and walked to the kitchen. She took out one of the pills; every time she felt that icy or burning pain in her limbs, she got a really bad mood swing. She gulped down the pill.

"What the hell did you just take?" she turned to see the others standing there.

"Nothing" she said.

"Didn't look like nothing"

"None of your business"

"Fine"

"Fine" Viper turned and headed for her room. She was stopped when a hand gripped her wrist tightly and pulled her back into another room. She turned around angrily to find Heero.

"Let go of me!" she said.

"Why are you still so pissed off?"

"None of your business; just go away!"

~* * *~

"Damn, how the hell did you let her escape?!" Katia yelled at the soldiers who were gathered around what used to be the prisoner's cell, who were looked to be tired since it was past midnight. She had just come over with Ryo from one of their bases on earth and was extremely pissed at having to keep making trips back and forth because some incompetent soldiers messed up. Plus the fact that the shuttle was delayed a day and she didn't get here until three days after the incident didn't help.

"She's craftier than you think..." a voice said from the cell across the hall. Ryo marched over.

"You know something old man?"

"You could say that...but why would I tell you?"

"Because your life depends on it"

"My life? I really don't think my life would make a difference anymore"

"Tell me old man"

"Don't tell me you've forgotten her face already Ryo; after all, you were the one fascinated with her before you turned traitor you -" a shot to his chest cut the old man off.

"Rest in peace Dr. J" Ryo said aloud, his gun smoking at the end.
