Case Study of Vanitas

In the Event of Rusty Hopes

A/N: Sorry for the long wait guys, here's a longer chapter to make up for it. I'm sooo excited we are now in the main story hopefully I'll update faster but I make no promises cause I can't keep a deadline to save my life! Let me know what you guys think, I love to hear from you. Oh and if anything is translated wrong or is spelled wrong let me know and I'll fix it right away.

Eira's POV

One Year Later

' It's cooooold. Would he just hurry up and find her! I can barely feel my fingers. I knew we should just have bought tickets at least we would be inside where it's warm and-'

"Hey, are you seriously going?"

Vanitas smiles, "Of course. We know the target's in here."

"Let's gooo! I'm freezing up here."

"Patience, ma chèrie. I won't let the vampires escape me."

I could feel my cheeks heat up as I look away and think, 'here we go again.'

Dante ties two ropes to one of the poles and throws one to me and Vanitas and we lower ourselves down to where we see Mlle Amelia. She's backed up against the railing, her eyes a glowing red.

(A/N: For those who don't know Mlle is actually an abbreviation for Mademoiselle, :) I thought that was pretty cool.)

"She doesn't have much time", I mutter to myself but Vanitas hears me.

"Well, then we shouldn't waste any time then." He smirks as he pushes off the window and crashes through it.

"WAIT!"

"FOUND YOU!"

'Why did he have to announce himself too?'

However it seems he was beaten to it, another man picked her up and moved to the side, he had dark skin and almost white hair with bright violet eyes. Vanitas turned to look at him before smiling.

'Oh dear, why can't he stay out of this, he's gonna get hurt and probably by Vanitas before Mlle Amelia gets a chance.' I think with a grim smile on my face, I turn my attention toward the conversation.

"What're you?

"I could ask you the same."

"My only business is with that girl. Take my advice, leave her, and get lost. If you don't . . . . you'll get hurt."

"I refuse."

'Well he's quite the gentleman, I'll give him that.'

Vanitas lunges forward dagger in hand and swipes at the man carrying Mlle Amelia barely missing his neck but Vanitas doesn't stop and is swiping at him at every turn while the man dodges each attack.

'He's gonna kill him!' 

My eyes are practically bulging out of my head as I watch the fight, I shout, "VANITAS DON'T KILL HIM!"

Vanitas doesn't look at me but releases the hidden wire in the dagger to try and trip him, his attacks seem to slow down a little, at least they were not aimed to kill him.

'It seems like he heard me, good . . . . .  what a nut!? He's lucky his opponent is quick. GEEZ . . . . . .  wait how is he moving so fast . . . . . . that's too fast, who is this guy?  . . . . . . . . . . . . . OH NO! He's a vampire. Vanitas doesn't know, he's gonna get hurt or worse.'

I swing inside and drop down onto the floor just as Vanitas wraps the wire around the man's ankle, Vanitas trips him, he thinks he's won. I can hear Dante shout above me, "GOT 'IM!", when the man throws Amelia high into the air, I look up and am temporarily distracted. He jumps back before running forward and punches Vanitas in the stomach, he flies back. I run and jump catching Vanitas but it doesn't stop us from crashing through the fountain and into the bench. Thankfully I shielded Vanitas from most of the damage, I can hear Vanitas groan, my back is throbbing in pain and I can feel a headache coming. I hear Dante run over.
