Chapter 1 – Heartless
"Master Van! Please, your father had told you to take over those two companies! You're the son of one the most successful company in the whole world! Without you, the company would come crashing down, you need to follow your father's footsteps, got it memorized?" Axel exclaimed.
Vanitas, couldn't care less. He just stared into no where, Why the hell should he care about this troublesome stuff? He can't hang out with friends because his dad would always have one of his guards to take him back home to listen some more boring stuff. See, being the only child is unbearable. You have too much responsibilities; Vanitas was one of those people that doesn't give a shit about work. Goddamnit, he's only 18! Can't he relax? He's always been listening to stupid lessons about money, products, reports, and it drives him nuts!
"Axel," he grumbled.
"Yes, master?" Axel said in a hopeful tone, maybe this time Vanitas would give in.
"Call Larxene, now."
Seeing his master's serious face, Axel bowed and walked out of the room. He passed the halls and rushed towards Larxene's room and knocked. "Miss Xene?"
The door opened to reveal a very sleepy blond girl. She wore a white sleeping gown with a cover up to hide her undergarments, afterwards, she rubs her dark blue eyes and stared at Axel.
"What is it, Axel?" she said in a low voice.
"Master Van ordered me to call you…"
"Again? He always calls me when uncle has a problem with him. Axel did you tell him to listen again?" Larxene growled.
Axel shrugged, "He has to! Or else the other company will overpower ours! Got it memorized?"
"No, shove something up in your ass. You know how much Vanitas hates that, you knew him longer than I did Axel. You should support your master, not annoy him."
The red haired man froze and bowed to Larxene apologetically. "Very well Miss Xene. Go see Master Van, he's waiting for you in his room."
Shrugging slightly, Larxene starts to walk out of her room then just stormed inside Vanita's dark, cold room. "When the hell do you turn off your AC?"
An evil, soft chuckle echoed in the room. "Like never," Vanitas replied, as Larxene spotted two golden eyes staring straight at her. She couldn't help but shiver at the thought of how evil her uncle is.
"I really hate your eyes, like big time, but you get auntie's beauty," Larxene complimented as she sat on her cousin's bed.
Vanitas couldn't help but give Larxene a disgusted look on his face. They never really talked about his mother much, after all, when Vanitas was born, his mother left because his dad turned so evil… All he thought about was his company and trying his best to corrupt other people, without them knowing… that is.
Larxene was the only one who was able to see her, that's because Larxene is related through Vanitas by his mom's side. Two years after she left, Larxene was dropped off by a black car, and Larxene begged if she could stay here because his mom has gone insane.
Okay, so his mom wasn't all that well when she walked out on her family.
Vanitas blamed it all on her, it was karma. She just left her family just like that, and changed her husband's heart; therefore, Vanitas received nothing but pain, and emptiness. He never knew what love felt like because no one really showed him.
Vanitas showed nothing but a blank expression towards Larxene, he didn't want to continue the conversation about his mother any longer, it always strikes a pain down there. It's best if he thinks he has no heart.
Larxene thinks that sometimes her cousin can get emotional, but he doesn't show it. He returns his happiness through making pranks and starting fights in class. That was one of the reasons why he doesn't go to school.
"You're smart, Van. Why can't you use your brain for once? Marry a girl, so that you guys can bear a child, and let that child of yours take over."
"And what if the child turns out to be a girl? It's kind of pointless, isn't it?"
Larxene sighed, "You're always so negative about your future."
"Well, my dad has been a heartless man to me for 16 years, and has showed me no emotion. All he cares about is money, money, money, money. It's wise for other people to think that I'm also a heartless son."
"You stop that bullshit right now. You know you're not heartless!" She screamed in his ears.
Vanitas closed his eyes and covered his ears, to prevent the echoes of her loud voice triggering his ears. "I get it! Shit Larxene, don't fucking scream in my room!"
His cousin sighed, "I'm just worried about you. Van, Why can't you marry Kairi? Or maybe Xion? Or Aqua? They're daughters of our sponsoring company, and are also very rich. They seem to have grown a liking of you…"
Vanitas growled, "I don't care, because deep down Kairi has someone else, dummy. Xion's with Roxas, remember? And Aqua loves Terra, snap out of it. Even if they didn't, they still wouldn't be with me, they're just not my type."
Larxene started to make a fist then grabbed a pillow, deciding to throw it at Van. "You're an asshole! You're completely trying to kill yourself! You need someone to—"
"Anyway," Vanitas cuts her off, "I'm leaving."
"Leaving?" Larxene's eyes widened, "And just where do you think you're going!"
"Somewhere,"
"Vanitas! Get a hold of yourself will you? You know better than this!"
Vanitas slammed his fist on the table; he closes his computer then turns his back on his cousin.
"I know, I know… It takes a real man to give in and take over the company," he looked on the black carpeted floor, "but I don't want to take over the company… It's just, not me."
Larxene sighed. And just what is he planning to do? She thought.
"So what, what's you're plan then?"
"I'll find something that dad will be disappointed in," Vanitas said softly.
Larxene's face softened when she realized how much her cousin hated the company, including his dad. It all went back to when they were little…
"Xene, Xene! Look, I found a keyblade!" the young Vanitas said happily. Larxene turns around then froze in fear. "Vanitas! Please! Let go of that keyblade immediately!"
Vanitas did what he was told. As he drops the keyblade, a little blond boy runs towards it and picks it up.
"You found my keyblade! Thank you!" He said happily. Vanitas turns around and stared deeply into two deep blue eyes.
Vanitas' cheeks flushed cherry pink. He watched how the boy talked with such a sweet voice. "Y-you're welcome…"
The boy stretched out his arms for friendship. "I'm Ventus, nice to meet you!"
Vanitas thought about how their name is almost similar. He smiled, stretched out his arm to reach Ventus' and shook it. He liked Ventus, he was friendly.
"I'm Vanitas! Nice to meet you too Ventus!"
Ventus gave a big smile. "Your name is almost like mine!"
Vanitas laughed and nodded, "Right! I thought that too!"
Larxene smiled at how her cousin was so happy to meet a new friend. He was always adventuring on his own, not needed company… Maybe that can all change, since Ventus reached out to him.
The two boys played, Ventus decides to leave the keyblade in Vanitas' protection. Vanitas takes off his necklace, which was a crown; there was a keyhole in the middle.
"I have the key, so don't worry about it," Vanitas said with a smile.
Ventus' eyes glittered and his smile got bigger. "You're my best friend,"
Larxene had a grin plastered on her face, and loved how Vanitas was blushing. Ventus' looks clueless and didn't realize that Vanitas likes him. Vanitas nodded though, and he ruffles Ventus' hair. "And you're mines."
The smile on Vanitas' face didn't last long though. The moment Ventus stood up, guards surrounded him, and the separated Ventus from Vanitas'.
"HEY! LET HIM GO!" He screamed, he was kicking the guards and punching them. The guards didn't move an inch. Vanitas gripped on the keyblade.
"V-Vanitas, I'm scared…" Ventus cried.
Vanitas raises the keyblade and starts to hit the guards one by one. When they knocked out, it revealed a crying Ventus. "I-I'm not supposed to be here!"
Vanitas, with a worried look on his face, held the other boy close to him. "Why? Ventus, you have to tell me so that I can save you!"
"Your dad is my dad's enemy!" Ventus cried.
"I don't care! I still like you!" Vanitas wailed.
"I-I like y-you too Van…" Ventus said softly, hugging Vanitas.
Xehanort appears behind Ventus, and Vanitas' eyes widened in fear. The older man grabs on Ventus' hair and throws him all the way out of the garden. Vanitas, for the first time, started crying.
"Don't hurt him dad!" He screamed,
His dad didn't seem to listen though, he kicks Ventus' sides and just before that, a man wearing tux picks him up. Ventus' starts to cough and opens his eyes weakly, "V-Vanitas…"
"Never, come near my son ever again."
"Now Xehanort, my son and your son were getting along. Why are you so heartless?"
"Get out of my palace," Xehanort growled, "GET OUT!"
"Gladly," the man said, nodding as he walks out of the gate.
Vanitas watched as his dad turns to him, there were tears coming out of his sons face. Larxene starts to run towards him and holds him close.
"I HATE YOU DAD, I HATE YOU!"
"HATE ME ALL YOU WANT YOU FOOLISH BOY. BUT I WILL NEVER, EVER LET YOU OUT THIS EASILY NOW." He screamed to his son.
Larxene stared at his uncle with pure hatred. "Uncle, you're too much. Have you ever wondered why your son never really has a heart to tell you he loved you?" she asked, carrying the crying boy back inside the house.
The keyblade shrunk and turned into a necklace with the key merging with it. Tears fell from the boy's eyes. "V-ventus…" the boy teared.
"He's gone… He's gone Van.."
Vanitas falls asleep, and Larxene watches her cousin. She raises her hands towards his mind and made him forget about the incident today. But that didn't stop Vanitas hating his dad.
The boy woke up the next day, asking why he was wearing a necklace. Larxene tells him a false story that he seemed to believe… Until now…
Larxene sighs once again, and nodded to herself. She knows that this time, Vanitas was old enough to decide for himself.
"Go, then. Take care of yourself."
Vanitas nodded, opening his eyes to reveal his sad eyes. "I'll search for you…" He said to himself.
I wanted to wipe those tears away… My dreams showed me that you were crying. I couldn't reach out to you, but this time, I'll find you… I will… Vanitas thought as he turns around and reaches for his phone.
"I need a place to stay in."
