As [Name] looked around he felt an uneasy feeling wash over him. He looked at all the people that were staring at him. He saw that some like the female he had learned was named Mako were smiling at him. While others like the girl he had learned was named Satsuki were glaring at him. He wasn't sure as to whether he should feel relaxed or let his guard down.

His first instinct was to keep up his guard. As that was what Ragyo had told him to do when he was around them. Plus at the moment, he wasn't allowed to kill them. As he sat down he looked at the meal in front of him a bit uneasy. He picked up the plate and looked at the others that were all eating happily. Deciding that food wasn't poisoned or drugged he took a bite and found that the taste was familiar to him.

He couldn't place where he had tasted it before but he knew he had eaten it before. He suddenly gained a headache that spread from his to every other part of his body. He stopped eating after this he could tell that the pain wasn't from the food, however, he did want to go through it again so he sat the plate down. [Name] then looked at the several people around him and smiled.

[Name] did his best to return a fake smile but the others all knew that it was fake. "Hey [Name] follow me I want to show you something," Ryuko said looking at the male. Hearing this [Name] got up and walked with her down the hall. She stopped in front of a room and opened up the door. When she did [Name] walked into the room and once again had a familiar feeling.

He wasn't sure why but he knew that he had been here before. He then like before obtained a headache that caused him a great amount of pain. [Name] covered his head this time because the pain that he felt was unbearable. Ryuko noticed this and ran over to him as he let out several screams of pain. "[Name] are you okay? What's wrong?" Ryuko asked looking at the male in front of her.

[Name] looked at her and suddenly felt much more at ease, however, the more at ease he felt the more the pain in his head grew. "[Name] please tell me what's wrong. Is there anything I can get you? Just tell me and I'll do it," Ryuko said looking at the male. When she said this [Name] became confused. She was supposed to be his enemy yet she didn't act like it.

[Name] could hear the concern in her voice, showing that she did, in fact, care about what was happening to him at the moment. He then also thought about several other things that didn't make sense to him. He thought about how even though she knew that he wouldn't attack her that she didn't just attack him. How when he entered the house the others learned to trust him rather fast.

However the thing he found the most annoying was a consistent feeling in his chest. Whenever Ryuko was around him he had this irritating feeling inside his chest. He tried to ignore it but the more he was around Ryuko the more the feeling grew. He then looked at Ryuko and decided it was the time for him leave. He without warning pushed her out of the way although not enough to hurt her.

He then ran towards the wall that was in front of him and punched a hole in the wall before running outside. When he did he felt better but the pain in his head was still there. As he ran towards the building that they had all been staying at [Name] felt the pain in his head grow. As he looked at the door he suddenly started to think about everything that they had said to him.

Rather everything that Ryuko had said to him. He didn't understand why she would care about him. They were enemies it was natural for her to hate him. Yet everything she had said to him kept making him wonder. When he walked into the building Ragyo looked at him and became a little nervous. She unlike the others could feel that her control over him was starting to fade.

"Hello [Name] may I ask what is wrong?" Ragyo asked looking at him.

"It's just . . . That Ryuko girl. I don't understand her," [Name] said looking at her.

"You went after them after I had told you not to?" Ragyo asked looking at him both angry and nervous.

"You told me not to attack them. When I met them I was very careful not to attack them. They treated me like . . . like a friend," [Name] said looking down. When he said this another headache suddenly attacked him. Ragyo unlike [Name] knew what this pain was. She walked over to him and placed her hand on the back of his head.

"See what they've done to you. They must have poisoned you when you weren't paying attention. Now you're suffering because of what they've done. Here allow me to make the pain go away," Ragyo said as a red string came out from her finger. When she said this the string went into the back of [Name]'s neck and he suddenly felt the pain in his head stop.

"Thanks, Ragyo, I'll have to remember that next time they're around me," [Name] said looking at her. [Name] then sighed and started to walk deeper into the building.

"Where are you going?" Ragyo asked looking at [Name].

"I'm going to sleep," [Name] said as he walked past them. When he was out of the room the life fiber copy of Zero walked up to Ragyo.

"They didn't really poison him did they?" He asked looking at her.

"No they didn't, those headaches he's having is a side effect of my mind controlling life fibers. The headaches are there because his memories are trying to return the life fiber I implanted is trying to keep that from happening. The headaches are a sign that the life fiber is having to work even harder to keep them away," Ragyo said looking at him.

"Remind me again why we don't just make a life fiber copy of him," Xerxes said looking at the female in front of him.

"It's because he no longer has his ring. His ring works differently from the others. His is attributed to his physical strength. His physical power rapidly increases now that he no longer has his ring with him. I could make a copy of him but he'd never be as strong as the original. the only way we can make a copy that will beat him is if we have his ring," Ragyo said looking at him.

". . . Can you say all that again," Xerxes said looking at the female.

"It's pointless trying to explain it to him. He may be a copy but he's a copy of an idiot, which means that no matter how much you try he's still going to be an idiot," The copy of Zero said looking at Ragyo.

"I suppose that is true," Ragyo said looking at him. She then looked towards the room where [Name] was in and sighed. 'We're being forced to speed up our plans because his memories are trying to return. I'm not sure how much longer my control will hold up," Ragyo then looked at the small box in front of her. She then sighed and looked at Zero.

"Zero get to working on the copy of the primordial life fiber core, If he get's his memories back then we will lose," Ragyo said looking at the male. Zero smiled hearing this and took off his ring. When he did he looked at the box that she had been keeping close to her. Zero opened up the box to reveal a small red life fiber that had survived.

"Well then I guess we don't have any time to waste," Zero said looking at the small piece of life fiber in front of him.
