 Roxas’ POV...

 I sighed as I knocked on Ventus’ door the 20th time this morning.

   “C’mon Ven please come out you haven’t come out in three days... at least tell me to leave you alone I just wanna know if you’re okay” I begged hoping for my brother to respond. I huffed in defeat as I heard a knock at the front door. “Fine you win again, but I’ll be back” I called as I walked down the stairs. “Hello?” I said opening the door. Almost instantly a scowl pressed across my face as I was met by Vanitas’.

    “Hi” he said showing me a bag in his hand. “It’s for Ven” he said smiling nervously slam! I let out a deep breath as anger welled into me. Vanitas knocked on the door again. “I just want to apologize”

   “Don’t even think about it Ven hasn’t come out of his room since Monday and he has finals tomorrow so it's best you didn’t scare him any further so go away” I said wryly.

    “Look Roxas I’m sorry for what I did to your brother, but if I don’t give him these he’ll become worse” he said knocking on the door again. At his words I opened the door,

    “What do you me ‘become worse’ what’s wrong with him” I asked. Vanitas cleared his throat.

    “Well I planned on fixing this whilst he was sleeping and didn’t think much of it, but I couldn’t do anything after the *ahem* incident I couldn’t fix it” he said. I narrowed my eyes at him.

    “Stop being trivial what is wrong with Ven” I demanded. Vanitas gave me a troubled glance.

    “If I explained what the problem was you’d overreact and make the situation worse” he said. I groaned in annoyance,

    “And how do expect me to trust you, this could just be an excuse so you can have your way with him” I argued. Vanitas blushed and scratched his head.

   “Please don’t put those thoughts in my head, I tried really hard not to let that happen” he said with a heavy sigh. “Okay, long story short he ate some demon parasites that I use to control my demonic energy, and these things started feeding off his spiritual energy. I couldn’t perform the means to get rid of them of them because of the demons who gathered to contract him, would try to kill me in attempt to take advantage of him so I had to wait” he explained. I let out a deep breath trying to hold back my outrage.

    “I’ve told him he shouldn’t eat random foods he finds out but he never listens now look where it’s got him” I laughed trying to lighten the mood. “Go ahead Vanitas, his room door is locked so you might have to break in” I sighed letting him inside the house.

   “Don’t worry I have my ways” he said with a smirk.

 Vanitas’ POV...

    As I stood in front of Ventus’ room I could feel the dense energy coming from in the room making the hairs on the nape of my neck rise. I dug in my bag and pulled out a lock pick.

    “I guess it was a good idea to bring this” I mused as I began to pick open the lock. Click. I opened the door slowly. His was dark- despite it being mid-day- and full of his sweet scent, but heavily overlaid with fear and a slight tang of blood. Silently I stepped inside letting my eyes adjust to the dark as I shut the door behind me. A soft groan sounded and then shifting that brought more of the blood scent sprawling in the air. I looked over to Ventus’ bed to see a lump in the covers where I guessed the boy was. Cautiously I pulled back the covers and Ventus groaned in pain. “Ventus, can you hear me?” I asked completely removing the cover completely. Goosebumps rose on my skin as I saw how pale he had become. It was as though all the life had been sucked out of him. He had dark circles under his eyes as well as trials of dried blood on his cheeks were tears would be. “If I knew it would be this bad I would’ve come sooner” I apologized as I pulled out some gloves and a tightly sealed canister of holy water. Careful not to let it touch my skin I poured it on Ventus creating hissing noise as it soaked into his flesh. His face twisted into a pained expression. “Ven, wake up” I said. No response came from him and I sighed. “Great” I sighed pulling out a knife. “I’m gonna have to do this the hard way than” I grumbled and poised the knife at my forearm, “Here goes nothing.” I cut a thin line through my skin causing blood to bead up along the cut. I took my thumb and drew a line down my arm. “You’re turn” I said grabbing Ventus’ arm and doing the same to him. I reached back in my bag and pulled out some matches and a holy lotus wrapped in some paper. I lit the match and then the lotus. Taking a deep breath I took off the glove and placed it in my hand. “Fuck, this is going to hurt” I cringed as the holy lotus burned in my hand. Quickly I grabbed Ven’s hand the lotus burning between our palms. A pained cry ripped through the air as Ven jolted awake almost making me release his hand and drop the lotus.

    “GET AWAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING” He screeching struggled.

    “Hey! Stop that, you’re making things worse” I growled as I climbed on top of him and pinned him to the bed keeping our hands tightly grasped together. I felt a stab of guilt when I saw the tears in his eyes as he tried to escape.

    “It hurts. Let go of me” he begged. I groaned unhappy at hearing the dismay in his voice.

    “Please be quiet I need to focus then it won’t hurt anymore” I asked. Ventus stayed silent and I sighed in relief “Thank you.” I closed my eyes trying to focus. “Ōse rareta jaakuna kiseichū. Kono shōnen o kaihō. Kare ga keiyaku, watashi no keiyaku no kachigāru. Watashi wa kare o hozon shitai.” I chanted (note: this is a sentence in Japanese if you wanna know what it means too bad cause I won’t tell you). Light filled the room from our hands and I cringed squinting my eyes. Suddenly two shadows jumped at me aiming for my neck and I narrowly dodged them. Under me Ven whimpered and I turned my attention to him. I examined him and sighed in relief as I noticed he looked a little healthier.

   “Vanitas” Breathed Ventus pointing behind me. I released his hand and climbed off him.

    “I know, these things aren’t a problem anymore” I said walking over to them and stomping on them splotching black on the ground. “See they’re dead no need to be scared they won’t be taking your spiritual energy anymore” I said walking back over to him. He looked at his arm and his eyes widened.

   “What’s wrong with my arm” he said. On his arm was the black mark of a flower snaking up and down his forearm.

   “Don’t worry, it's the means of the exorcism, though I only got this nasty burn scar given the fact that I’m half demon” I explained. Showing the burned skin on my forearm “but don’t worry yours should be gone in a week” I said.

   “Thank you for helping me, I thought I was gonna die” he said. I smiled grateful that he didn’t seem mad at me.

    “It's the least I could do as an apology for before” I said as I cleaned up my things. Ven frowned at me.

    “You don’t need to do that, I forgave you two days ago” he said. I couldn’t help but smile at his words.

   “You’re too nice” I laughed. “Anyway you must be hungry why don’t we go down stairs and I make you some food” I said.

   “Sure” he nodded.
