Destined Hearts

Chapter 22: Eye to Eye

Kuro appeared in Darkness as he had an angered look on his face. The scene he saw with Vanitas and Mayonaka scarred him. Killed him. He never wanted him to even see Mayonaka again no matter what would happen.

He walked to a room with these long throne-like chairs as he warped to one of them and sat down.

"I can sense you are angry, Kuro." He looked up at the first seat, and he saw Xehanort sitting there with his legs crossed and his fist on his cheek.

"Vanitas is starting to turn against us, Xehanort." He reported. "He was talking to Mayonaka. Telling her our information!"

"And you think it will effect our plans?" He asked.

"Yes!" Kuro exclaimed angrily. "Vanitas could be telling her about our plans right now!!"

"Then let him give her that information." He said.

"What?!"

"The eye has already written the future. Vanitas telling Mayonaka our plans will not effect the inevitable. There is no changing the inevitable. However, I have found more use for Vanitas now."

"What do you mean?"

"His anger is the key of unlocking who he really is." He smirked a little staying that sentence. "I have told Vanitas to complete his mission...but I knew all along he would never kill Mayonaka."

Kuro growled as he looked away.

"Kuro." He looked up at Xehanort. "I want you to finish his mission." His eyes widened a little.

"You mean.." He trailed off as Xehanort smirked.

"Kill Mayonaka, and extract her darkness within her." He said. "But if you hear Vanitas and Mayonaka speaking to each other...you never heard a word from either of them."

Kuro smirked confidently as he stood up.

"Yes, Master Xehanort. I'll do my best." He said as he disappeared in darkness.

Xehanort looked up at the ceiling, amused as he was thinking.

"Where are you hiding, Asako?" He wondered to himself as silence filled the room.

Mayonaka and Vanitas were still at the small river as they were both looking up at the water below them. People were walking above them on there other roads as vines with flowers on them were everywhere in the area.

This was when Vanitas started the conversation.

"So, you and everyone else have a lot on your plate, huh?" He asked, not taking his gaze off the river.

"Yeah. The Destined Hearts,us being the next chosen ones...the next X-Blade war. I never told them about that war as I said, but...I'm just scared how they'll react." She said nervously.

"This isn't a breadcrumb on the trail, May." He said. "They'll react badly when you tell them anyway. But...I get where you're going with this. You're afraid they'll turn on you."

"..." Mayonaka stated silent. "...It's been a long time since you last called me that."

"Well, it's better to have a piece of a moment than have nothing, right?" He asked. Mayonaka smiled a little as she nodded her head. But she wanted to ask Vanitas this for a long time.
