I am SO sorry I haven't been updating! After vacation I never really felt like writing this story, I have mostly been working on my originals. BUT! I am still going to write this one! Promise! I have gotten reviews from people saying they like/love this story and I am so happy to hear that! 3 I was afraid to start making fanfiction because I didn't think I was good and having people read my stories has always freaked me out so reading the reviews gives me confidence and makes me want to keep writing this story, Thank you so much!

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters.

Chapter 4

Vanitas' P.O.V

There was no way I was going to let Sora finish the school day, even after he seemed to calm down and try to explain that he needed to get to his next class I refused to let him out of my grasp.

My arms felt a bit numb and my breathing still hadn't gotten back to normal as I stood up and looked down at Sora. "Your going home." I said, my voice low and full of authority, leaving no room for arguments. Sora looked down and nodded, trying to stand, he swayed a bit and long arms wrapped around him and lifted Sora into a bridle style. I felt my body tense and my hands curl into fists as I shot a glare to who ever dared touch my brother, I looked right into the green eyes of the red haired man. Something about the look in his eyes calmed me a bit but he was still a stranger and he was holding my brother so I stepped forward and took Sora from him, ignoring my protesting arms as I turned and walked out of the class room.

I was to tired and to focused on trying not to drop Sora that I didn't notice the familiar black car in the drive way, a car that I hadn't seen in months. When I finally walked through the door and into our house I collapsed on the couch with a sleeping Sora still in my tired arms. I felt the almost dried blood on my hands and the splatters of it on my face but I was already half asleep so I couldn't bring myself to care. Dully I heard someone enter the room and felt them try and remove Sora from my arms, a growl formed in my throat and I tightened my grip on my brother and I felt him shift so he was facing me, small sobs still sounded every few seconds and I felt the tears as they soaked into the couch's arm rest and spread till the wetness touched mine too. I hear a familiar sigh and felt the couch move, I struggled to open my eyes and when I did I stiffened when I met the eyes of our father. I tried to glare at him but was to exhausted to keep it up for long.

"I'm angry to come home and see that nothing has changed with you." My father whispered, probably not wanting to wake the now sleeping Sora but his voice was still harsh. I forced myself to glare again and try to lift my head. "But I'm proud..." I blinked for a second in shock. "That you are still caring for your brothers." He finished as he got up and picked up a suit case. "I only came to get more cloths and some forums I forgot, I'll be back for a few weeks next month." He said, his voice all business now as he walked out the door, it slammed with an air of finality as I lay there still in shock.

That had been the longest conversation I had with my father in a long time, my vision blurred a bit as I hugged Sora to me, squeezing my eyes shut as I took a deep breath and sighed. 'At least he didn't get physically mad like last time.' Was my last thought before finally falling asleep.

When I woke up Sora was still in my arms and already awake, he had managed to turn over even with my arms around him so he could watch t.v. and talk to people that I couldn't see over Sora's head and shoulder.

"So your saying that Van, your brother, is Vanitas, like THE Vanitas? The Vanitas that beat that gang all by himself?" A shocked voice was saying, it sounded like an older female.

"Mhmm." Sora mumbled, nodding his head as he switched his attention from the t.v. to the people that were (I'm assuming) sitting on the couch on the opposite side of the room.

"And apparently he has another personality? So what, he has MPD?" Another voice said, I recognized this one, it was the red head with the tear drop tattoos.

I saw Sora nod his head again. "That's what the doctors think, but they say with MPD the person can't remember what happened but Vanitas says he can remember everything, he told me once that it feels like he is being shoved to the back of his own mind and he gets confused and his thoughts get fuzzy but he can still see and feel whats happening out side and to his body. I don't know why it happened today though, he takes medicine that is supposed to keep him calm so he doesn't switch."

"I forgot to take it this morning." I said, getting bored of listening and not wanting Sora to continue giving out information on me.

"Vani! Your awake!" Sora said happily, trying to turn over again so he could look at my face, his voice had an under laying of guilt at being caught talking about me. I loosened my hold on him and sat up, bringing my still bloodied hand up to ruffle my hair as I looked around with blurry eyes, I caught sight of the black clad group all sitting on the couch and on the floor, watching me, I saw Roxas sitting next to the red head but Ventus was no where to be seen.

"How are you feeling Sor-sor?" I asked while I swung my legs off the side of the couch and was about to stand up before a wave of dizziness hit and I swayed, groaning I sat there clutching my head until I felt Sora move to sit closer to my side and heard someone (I'm assuming Roxas) get up and run over to me.

"I should be asking you that stupid." Sora said with a concerned frown. I rolled my eyes though no one could see as I slowly started to get up again.

"It's not like this is really serious, Van always gets head aches after he switches." Roxas said, reaching over and helping me up.

"Is school out already?" I asked eyeing Roxas with suspicion, his eyes darted to the floor for a split second before returning to meet mine. "Yeah, we got here a few minutes ago." I snorted and rolled my eyes. "Roxas, you suck at lying." Is all I said before walking out of the room and heading upstairs to take a shower, ignoring the annoyed sound he made.

When I came back down, with still slightly wet hair and wearing a black band t-shirt and a pair of black shorts, the group was still there, talking to Sora while I heard Roxas in the kitchen. I ruffled my black hair as I finally stepped off the last stair and in sight of everyone in the living room, the tribal bead bracelet that had my name carved onto it that my first friend in elementary school gave me and some plain leather straps that each had one of my brothers names slid down my arm a bit before going back to their original position on my wrist after I let my arm fall back to my side. On my other wrist there was a watch with a thick black, leather strap, under the glass, the face of the watch was gone, revealing every little gold colored gear and spring that made it work, a dog tag that Sora had gotten for my birthday a few years back jingled and lightly hit my chest with every step, a strange heart shape symbol was carved onto it along this my name. (Think of the Unversed heart symbol.)

I yawned and ignored the black clad group as they stared at me, making my way to the kitchen to see Roxas making a huge plate of sandwiches, going to stand next to him I picked up a butter knife and helped spread mayonnaise on a few slices of bread. I didn't say anything for a minute, not knowing how to tell him, finally I looked at him from the corner of my eye and said. "Dad came by today." The loud clang from a butter knife rang out as it clattered to the floor.

"Aw, hell."

And there's chapter 4! What do you think? Maybe I should have added more, I know I had more idea's that I could have and should have put into this chapter but I'm lazy so... next chapter?

Review if you want, I am not going to ask or beg. If you do then mind telling me if I need to improve on anything?
