Vanitas Knows Best
Aqua glared at Vanitas angrily. "I know he still has good in him!"
Vanitas let out an insane laugh, looking up at a dark sky, teeth flashing its eerie glow.
"Good in him? Please, Aqua, that's demented."
He jumped onto a crumbling cliff behind him, doing a skillful back flip to do so. His Keyblade still in hand, his arms dramatically swept through the air in front of him. He motioned to Aqua with the tip of his Keyblade.
"This is why you never should have left."
He shook his head in mock sadness, shrugging.
"Aqua, this whole good in him you've invented
Just proves you're too naive to be here."
He pointed an accusing finger down at Aqua, who took a step backwards, scowling.
"How could you believe in him? Come on now - really!
Look at him - are you truly impressed?"
He paced slowly to the right, reminiscent of Xehanort without the hunch. His hands were behind his back, and he pulled them in front of him to over-dramatically motion along with his words when he turned to Aqua.
"Don't be a dummy-
Though it's quite funny-
Vanitas-"
He grinned evilly at his insult to Aqua and then extended a hand out to her.
Aqua was enraged at his words. Her Keyblade flashed as she angrily swung it to her side, and she clenched her other fist. She gritted her bared teeth.
"No!"
Vanitas' outstretched hand stopped in the middle of its path at Aqua's single word. Deadly curiosity ran across his features.
"'No'? Oh. I see how it is." A dangerous smirk stole across his lips. The evil look he had on his face was alarmingly disturbing to Aqua.
"Aqua knows best,
Aqua's so mature now,
Such a clever grown-up miss."
He pretended to flick locks of hair back and batted his eyelashes like a giggling girl. Aqua's eyes narrowed, and streaks of anger flew through them.
"Aqua knows best,
Fine, if you're so sure now
I'll just go ahead and give him this!"
He held out a gloved hand palm-up, and a black and red orb of swirling darkness erupted an inch above it. Sparks of black flew erratically out of the imploding mass. His cold words held a menacing edge to them.
"This is why he's here!
Don't let him deceive you.
When he gets it, watch, you'll see!"
His cool voice turned into a sly grin that pulled at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly his form disappeared and warped in front of Aqua. Before she could react, he had knocked the Keyblade from her clenched hands, kicked her stomach with a boot that pinned her to the ground, and put the tip of his own Keyblade to her neck in a single motion. Still aiming the weapon at her and keeping her from attacking, he leaned down and cupped her chin in his free hand, despite her violent protests. His voice quieted and gradually grew louder until it was steadily normal.
"Trust me, my dear
That's how fast he'll leave you
I won't say I told you so - no,
Aqua knows best!
So if he's such a dreamboat
Watch him be put to the test!"
The hand slowly traced a line down her cheek. At the last word, the hand was brought into a clenched ball that emanated a dark aura. He leapt back to his perch on the cliff, squatting there to look down at Aqua with his arms casually hanging over his thighs. The Keyblade hung over the edge, looking as if it would gain a mind of its own and swoop down to fiercely slice at Aqua.
"If he's lying,
Don't come crying,
Vanitas. Knows. Best."
He swung his right hand with the index finger pointed up as he stated each last word separately as if he conducting the last punctuating notes of his evil tune. His form was engulfed in the flames of darkness as he let out another insane, demented laugh. His figure faded, but the laugh echoed through empty space.
Aqua had already gotten off the ground and was staring up at the spot where Vanitas had perched. She shook her head, trying to clear it of the horrible thoughts he had implanted in her mind. Looking up angrily, she summoned her armor and flew off into the Lanes, searching for Terra.
My altered version of Mother Knows Best by Donna Murphy from Disney's Tangled.
If you enjoyed it, I'd be happy to make a collection of Disney songs mixed with Kingdom Hearts scenes. I'd love if you left a review telling me what you think and giving possible requests for another song. ^^
