Destined Hearts

Chapter 11: Memories

Vanitas was in his room, laying on his bed with his hands behind his head as he was staring up at the ceiling in thought. The only thing he thought about was when he and Kuro met. Xehanort only brought him back to life, he was sleeping for a long time, and now he couldn't remember anything about his past. He closed his eyes as he started to remember what happened to him.

"Hey.."

"Hey! Are you awake now?"

Vanitas groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, he saw he was laying on a plain white bed as he was laying on his side. He slowly started to sit up, and when he looked at his hands, he saw he was wearing black gloves with the signature Organization XII cloak.

Vanitas put his hand on his head, trying to remember what happened before...but nothing came to his mind.

"Finally awake." Vanitas turned his head to the voice, and saw a boy sitting beside him in a chair.

The boy had raven black hair with golden ember eyes. He had a mask over his mouth and he was also wearing an Organization XII Cloak.

Vanitas tried to stand up, but the boy gently pushed him down.

"Don't strain yourself. You've been out for a really long time." He said. Vanitas rubbed his eyes, trying to get the drowsy feeling out of them.

"W-Where...?" Vanitas coughed as he tried to speak. The boy immediately sat down next to him, and patted his back in support.

"Don't talk either. Just relax a little bit, and you should be fine." He said. He then saw the perplexed look on Vanitas's face. "I can tell you have a lot of questions. I can tell you a few things. My name is Kuro, and you've been unconscious for...a year."

"A...Y-Year?!" Vanitas said shocked as he coughed again.

"Yeah...Xehanort brought you back to life. That's what he told me." Kuro explained.

"Xeha...nort.." Vanitas closed his eyes as he put his hand on his head.

"Do you remember anything?"

"...I...I only remember the name...Xehanort.." He said, relieved that he can find his voice.

"Anything or anyone else...?"

"...No.."

"Well, at least you remember the guy who brought you back, so that's process."

"Process...?"

"We were hoping you would remember everything after being comatose for a year. But...I guess your one of those people who need time."

"Y-Yeah.."

"Well...do you remember your name...?" Kuro asked as he put his hand on his shoulder.
