I spent the next couple of days ignoring my traveling companions, and they ignore me too. It's been long clear I have no idea where I'm going. It wouldn't be that bad, if Riku didn't keep commenting on it.
"So still nothing?" he asks.
I growl and he shrugs, putting his hands in his pockets and looking away from me. Namine looks upset over something but I try my best to ignore her. There's that pang again. I sigh and stare up at the bright sky. It's been three days and still no word from Sora. Why has he been so silent? Did I do something to silence him? I can't see how. Sora, if you can hear me at all, please, please say something to let me know you're still here with me.
...
Nothing. I didn't expect anything anyway.. I drop my gaze to the ground and keep walking at a fast pace, smirking as I notice Riku has to jog to keep up with my walking speed. Namine is keeping up easily, as I figured, and I continued to ignore them. There is no town anywhere near here, we're lost in the desert which is not what I had wanted. Now, I'm not so sure of what I want anymore.
"Look," growls Riku, "you know as well as I do that we're lost, so stop trying to act like you know where we're going. Sora won't talk to you and you'll get us all killed."
In an instant, at the sound of Sora's name leaving that kid's lips, I have him on the ground with my hand around his throat, and my gun at his forehead.
"Say that again. I dare you." I growl.
"Vanitas, stop!" cries Namine.
For once I ignore the pang in my heart and tighten my grip on the silverette.
"Go on, say it." I urge, begging for him to give me a reason to kill him.
"Sora doesn't want to talk to you." he says evenly, staring into my gold colored eyes.
I growl and pull the trigger.
