"Come on Vanitas! Get up!" Ventus says angrily while shaking me to get up.

"Leave me the fuck alone….okay I will get up!" I grunt. I push the covers off me and swing around so my feet hit the floor. I yawn and stretch my arms to fully wake up. I look up at Ventus while rubbing my eyes to get that nasty yellow shit out of them.

"Why do we have to get up so damn early for?"

Ventus shakes his shoulders. "Don't ask me, I didn't want to get up either. Terra and Aqua wants us to stay on our regular sleeping hours. I think it is stupid also but we have to listen."

I chuckle, "No we don't. We are old enough to decide our sleeping hours. You are just to good to stand up to Aqua and Terra."

Ventus rolls his eyes and heads out the door. I slowly get up and head to my closet to find clothes to wear today. While I was heading out the door I noticed outside through my window that Roxas, Namine, and Axel were out there…and some other girl. I noticed that she had short black hair and wore a black tank top with a white skirt. I haven't seen her before. I might have if I saw the front of her face. It seems like the four of them were heading to the beach. I stop myself, why would I care where they were heading anyway? I shook my head and open up the closet, I decided to wear black khakis with a simple black tank top.

"This would have to do for today…" I muttered while leaving my room. I went down the stairs to head in to the dining room to sit down for breakfast. Great I thought, pancakes AGAIN. I sat right besides Ventus, who was eating the pancakes like there was no tomorrow. Even though I was his darkness, I felt somewhat worried about his well being and his decisions.

"You hungry there Ventus?" I ask.

He stops eating and looks up at me, "Well…yea, I haven't ate all morning so of course I'm hungry…aren't you?"

"Nauh, not really. I'm just getting sick of pancakes that is all."

"Well you are just going to have to deal with it Vanitas, just eat." Aqua says across the table putting the syrup on her pancakes.

"I will eat but, not these pancakes. Actually for the real issue, Ventus and I have a problem with one of your rules." I said.

"Oh really?" she asks. Looking at Ventus, Aqua asks, "Is this true Ventus?"

Ventus puts his fork down, he doesn't look at Aqua for awhile then puts his head up and simply just says, "Yes."

"What rule do you two boys have a problem with then?" She questions.

I speak out, "We HAVE a problem with that sleeping rule! It is summer, we can spend all night up if we like and sleep in all day. We are both fifteen years old boys, you need to stop treating us like we are just kids, I know that in your eyes we are but we are just so damn fucking tired of it."

"Watch your mouth." Terra says.

"Im just say-"

"I don't care what you say Vanitas. As the adults of this house, we order the two of you to go to sleep or in your room at a decent hour. It is not going to kill the both of you to follow that rule."

"It would kill me." I chuckled and pick up my plate and headed for the kitchen, Ventus soon followed me to the sink and we both put the dirty dishes away. I lay against the counter when Ventus whispers,

"Great going there Vanitas, now she is probably going to make us go to bed earlier to tick us off."

"Pfft, I am not going to listen to some fucking stupid rules. We are fifteen year old boys, not five. I hate how she treats us like that."

Ventus sighs, " I know you do but what are we suppose to do? Not till we are eighteen we can't leave."

For a few minutes I was silent, "We can leave Ventus."

Ventus backs up surprised, "What do you mean? Like leave for good?"

"Yes Ventus, we can leave and never come back. The both of us can travel to new worlds and discover all kinds of wonders."

"Vanitas, if might be easy for you to leave but, Aqua and Terra are my best friends. After what they have done for me, I just can't get up and go."

I sigh once more and drop that subject for now. What was I thinking? Ventus wouldn't leave Aqua and Terra, and some reason I can't leave Ventus here by himself. So I started a other subject.

"So earlier this morning I looked out my window and saw Roxas, Namine, and Axel heading to the beach."

Ventus turns his head around to look at me, "Okay…what about it?"

God this is embarrassing…I said to myself, "There was…a girl. She had short black hair and wearing a black tank-top with a white skirt. Do you know who she is?"

Ventus just smiles, "Yea, I think that is Roxas best friend Xion. The two of them were in the Organization together with Axel. Roxas told me that she was going to move in with Kairi and Namine. Why? Do you like her or something?"

"No, I was just curious."

"Okay, then prove it by not blushing when we see her today. Why don't we go to the beach."

I rolled my eyes, "When have I ever blushed at a girl before there smart ass? Just go get your stuff and I will wait outside."

Ventus just laughs and heads upstairs to get his swimming trunks. I just usually go swimming in my khakis. Fifteen minutes later Ventus comes out and we both head to the beach, we finally get there and it felt like everyone was there. I will admit, there wasn't to many bad looking girls. We laid out stuff right besides Soras and Kairi beach towel, I laid my red beach towel down and took off my tank-top. I wasn't that bad looking either, with my golden eyes and black hair, which sadly looked a lot like Sora hair, and figuring that Ventus and I are the same person, we both got six pack abs. Its weird how Ventus and Roxas both have the same blonde hair and blue eyes but I can always tell them apart with their personality. I lay down on the towel and I was trying to get my tan on but Ventus shadow covers up the sun.

"Come on Vanitas! Play beach volleyball with us. It will be me and you on a team while Roxas and Sora be on the other. Please!"

"Fine, I'm coming."

We head over to the volleyball net and Roxas and Sora were waiting for us. I never cared to much for this sport because we all get competitive. We all agreed that Sora would serve first. We all get in our spots, I was by the net across from Roxas. Roxas and I really haven't gotten along that much, I always figured it was because we both have darkness in ourselves. Sora hit's the ball and the game starts. We play for what seems forever and the score was 14-10, we were winning. It was my turn to serve and I throw the ball in the air and hit it. I will admit, Roxas is a pretty good player but as for Sora…I think Roxas was going to kill him. Sora misses the ball and Ventus and I had won. We all went to the net and shake hands. I turn around and saw that Xion girl walking to Roxas. There was something about her that wanted me to talk to her but I kept my distance. Ventus shook my shoulder.

"There she is, are you going to talk to her or no?" He said.

"Why would I talk to her Ventus?"

"Well, considering that you wanted to know who she was, I thought you would talk to her. Make her fall for you, then dump her like the other girls you do."

I looked at him, hard. "Those girls didn't mean shit to me Ventus, you know that. None of them made me feel like I was good enough for them."

"But Xion does?"

"I don't know Ventus…she probably don't like me anyway considering Roxas probably already told her about the whole Namine thing."

Ventus laughs while we walk away. "Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Man, I never seen Roxas that red before in my life. You went flying when he punched you."

I punched him in the shoulder, "I see what side you are on."

We laughed and for the rest of the day we spent it on the beach. It was finally evening and everyone was basically gone, including Xion. She left earlier in the day. I will say though, I did get sunburn. Ventus got it pretty bad, Aqua was going to flip when she saw him. When Ventus turned around I gave him a five star on his back.

"OWWWW VANITAS! THAT FREAKING HURTS!" Ventus screams.

"That is payback from last year." I told him. He did the same thing to me last summer. I'm good with revenge.

"Okay, we are even just don't do it again!"

I shook my head and we headed for home. I wasn't ready for home just yet so I told Ventus that I was going to take a little walk. Ventus didn't ask why considering I do always take a walk, and he headed for home. I walk around till I heard a voice.

"Hey cutie, are you lost?" A guy says.

"No….I…I'm heading home, but thanks anyway." A nervous girl says. It kind of sounded like Kairi a little.

"Where do you think your going? Don't you want to have some fun." The guy laughs.

"Leave me alone." The girl says. It sounded like she was going to leave and then I heard the guy move and push her against the wall.

"I will tell you when you can leave cutie, right now I think I'm going to kiss you and your going to enjoy it."

"NO! STOP IT!" I heard a slapping sound.

I turn the corner and said, "Buddy, the girl said leave her alone."

The guy looked over his shoulder and got frighten. He takes his hand off the girls throat and looks at me. It was Xion.

"What the fuck are you suppose to be? A vampire?" He laughs.

"Ha-ha, that never gets old. Actually, I'm just a normal fifteen year old boy who is was enjoying a perfect walk until I heard a idiot guy trying to get his way with a girl who doesn't like him at all."

The man lets Xion go completely and turns to me. "You trying to start there something emo?"

"Now it's emo, what happen to vampire a few minutes ago? I will start something if you don't leave that girl alone."

The guy just looks at me and shakes his head, I heard him whisper "Whatever" and left me and Xion by ourselves. Xion sat on the floor with her head laying against her knees, I slowly walk over to her.

"Hey, are you okay?" I ask then offered her my hand. Xion looked up and put her hand in mine and I helped her up.

"Yeah, I think that I'm okay. Thanks for helping me. I'm Xion."

"I…I…I'm Vanitas."

She looks up at me, "Are you the one who touched Namine butt and Roxas punched?"

Geez, she already knows about that. "Yeah, sadly…I didn't know that she was taken okay?"

Xion giggles, "It's fine. Roxas told me about that awhile ago."

I just look at her. Xion has the biggest blue eyes that I have ever seen before. Her black-tank top got torn while her white skirt became dirty. She noticed that I was looking at her outfit and she hang her head down.

"I know what you are probably thinking, how did I get here. I was with Kairi and Namine after I left the beach and we were going food shopping and I must of took a wrong turn because I lost them and then that guy appeared."

I felt bad for her, then again I was kind of angry with Kairi and Namine for not watching her in case she would get lost. Wait a minute…why do I care? I shook my head.

"Well, next time make sure your close near them? Because you can met guys like those here."

Xion nodded her head slowly and looked down at her tank top.

"Now to tell Kairi and Namine about this. First night here and already they are going to worry about me, and not let me go anywhere now."

I chuckled and handed her my tank-top. "Here just take mine and put it on so then they wont ask what happen."

Xion looks at my tank-top and slowly grabs it and puts it on.

"Vanitas, Thank you." She smiles.

My face got a little bit hot. "S-sure thing. Do you need help finding the house?"

I can tell she got embarrassed, "Yeah, I do."

"Follow me, your lucky that I just live four houses down from them."

We walked till we got to Kairi and Namine's house. Xion and I walk up the steps and I knocked on the door for Xion. Kairi opens up the door and looks at the both of us. Before either me or Xion can explain Kairi says,

"Vanitas what did you do to her!"

"I didn't do shit. If you just lis-"

"I don't have to listen to anything! Come on Xion, you shouldn't hang out with him."

Xion looked upset, "Why shouldn't I Kairi? Actually Vanitas helped me find my way here after you and Namine left me in the food shop!"

Kairi eyes got wide, "Oh…sorry for blaming you Vanitas."

"It's fine. I'm use to it by now." I told her.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye for now…" Xion says while looking at me.

"I guess it is, Xion. I will see you around." I said. I turn around, my back to the both of them and headed home. I get on the sidewalk and I looked back. The door was closed, then I noticed that Xion was on the second floor looking at the window. She wasn't looking at me but I think it was the island? It looked like she sigh and then she closed her curtains. Why did I look back? She probably didn't like me anyway, Roxas probably told her I was a man whore anyway. I sigh and open the door to my house and headed to the shower. I get undressed and got in to the shower.

"Hmm…this feels good." I told myself. I laid my head back to feel the water. My hair flatten and I then put the shampoo and conditioner on. I rise all of it off and got the body wash and cleaned my body. I get out of the shower and put my pj pants on and head to my room. Everyone was sleeping so I had to be quiet. I lay down in my bed…I don't know how long it was before I fell asleep but…I know that I HAVE to get to know Xion were my last thoughts before I went to bed.
