Kingdom Hearts Ventus and Namine With a Twist

Sora and Kairi Finds Vanitas

Sora and Kairi were walking around Twilight Town, they went to the old mansion, to their surprised, they saw Vanitas standing there with his back facing them.

"Vanitas! How are you here?"

Vanitas turned around and saw Sora and Kairi. "Oh, hello brother, I have no idea, I thought that I would rejoin Ventus, but I ended up waking up here instead."

"Weren't you with Xehanort?" Kairi asked.

"Yes, I was."

"Why do you wear a mask?" Kairi asked.

"Because of my face." Vanitas said before reaching for his mask and taking it off to reveal his face making Kairi gasp in shock. His appearance was of Sora when he was fifteen. Sora now noticed that his eyes were no longer yellow but dark green.

"Y-Your Face." Kairi muttered.

"I was the piece of Ventus that was taken away and Sora was the piece Ventus needed to be whole, when they formed that bond, I was given the appearance of Sora, I am his shadow that he casts, his Darkness." Vanitas replied to her, before he noticed Sora was staring at him. "What?"

"Your eyes." Sora muttered.

Vanitas rolled them. "Yeah, my eyes are gold and gold means darkness."

"Your eyes aren't gold anymore." Kairi said.

Vanitas just looks at them. "What!"

"Kairi, do you have a mirror?" Sora asked looking at his fiance. She nodded before she went into her purse and picked up a mirror and handed it to Sora. Sora held up the mirror out to Vanitas.

"Here have a look." Sora said handing him the mirror. Vanitas took the mirror from him, before he noticed something different about his eyes.

"Omg!" Vanitas said, cracking open the casing and looking at his reflection in the mirror. There was that handsome bastard again, same black hair, same pale skin, same...Vanitas moved a slow, shaking hand towards his eyes, gaze still locked on the mirror.

His eyes, once the same honey gold as Xehanort's, were now a bright emerald green.

"What in earth...." Vanitas whispered to himself.

"I don't think your no longer pure darkness Vanitas, you have light in your heart now, your complete and free to make your own choices." Sora said.

"After all, everyone deserves to have a second chance." Kairi said.

Vanitas's fist clenched tightly around the mirror.

"Even if you were pure darkness, I think you deserve to have your own life, not what Xehanort wanted for you, it's for you to decided on your own life." Kairi said.

With short, gentle gasps, the roar of the emotions he'd been bottling up in his ears, a gentle hand reached out not in punishment, but in comfort on his shoulder, and with a burning behind his face, he'd never felt before, liquid started to pool in Vanitas's eyes. It built, and built, until it couldn't be contained anymore, and tears leaked down Vanitas's cheeks, feeling the pain he had kept within his heart and feeling the guilt of what he had done to Ventus, Aqua and Terra.

"What....what the heck is this?" He gasped, feeling everything, too much.

"Tears? Have you never....?" Kairi asked.

"No, all my emotions took form as the Unversed. All of my emotions were anger and hate." Vanitas said.

Kairi softly smiled at him. "Tears are a sign of a somebody releasing emotion and I'd say that's prove positive. Your heart is whole again, Vanitas. Because you have to have a heart....to cry."

"I....I like this feeling." He said looking at his hands.

'That's good Van." Sora said.

Vanitas glare at him. "Don't call me that!"

"Okay, Vani." Sora said.

Vanitas continues to glare at him. "Don't call me that either!"

"Okay, okay." Sora says.
