Revenge of Experimentational Proportions

by XionTheBlackRose

Vanitas goes about, finding the people who helped in Sora's murder, and in turn, murdering them. With help from Sora, may it be just his imagination or not, Vanitas is determined to do whatever it takes to track down and kill Xemnas. That is, until some other people try to get involved and stop him. Sequel to Experimentation.

21. Chapter 21

A few days go by and no word from Sora. I keep to myself during this time and I don't talk much unless something is asked directly to me. Which isn't often. Though Riku and Namine talk a lot. That pang shows again and I do my best to ignore it. My main priority has changed. Now, everything I do, I do it for Sora. Always for Sora. That means Xemnas has to die, soon. now if I could have my way, he'd be dead by now. But that's not how things work is it? No of course not. That'd be unfair right? Like I care..

We finally, after about two weeks in the desert, we finally come along civilization again. Namine and Riku are thrilled, but I'm suspicious. Being as I am, humans make me uneasy, make me think that at any moment I'll be strapped to a table and they'll cut me open and stick needles in me. Again. I shudder.

"Vanitas?" asks Namine, her hand resting gently on my shoulder.

"I'm fine." I said flatly, moving in front of them so that I'm telling them where to go, not the other way around.

"It's being around humans isn't it?' she asks.

"It's because it makes you feel vulnerable. Is that it?" she asks when I didn't answer.

Again I didn't answer and she sighs, knowing the answer as well as I did. Yes, this makes me feel very uneasy. And I hate it.

"So what is our objective here, Vanitas?" asks Riku.

I look at him, he looks the same as when I met him, maybe a little more annoyed than before, but I don't really care about that, I'm trying to find the source of my uneasiness about being near him, and I know it isn't just because he's human that I'm feeling this way. So then what?

"Hey.." he says again, lifting his hand to get my attention.

I slap his hand away and glare at him, "I'm not deaf! I heard you!"

"Then answer me! What's the plan here?" he says, equally annoyed with me as I am with him.

I go to open my mouth to explain my newly formed plan, but someone behind me, someone I didn't sense come up behind me while I was watching Riku, something cold and thin, maybe wire, wraps along my throat and it pulls. I gasp in shock, which loses most of my oxygen and I thrash and kick to get away, even with my speed and strength, I can't shake my attacker. Sora! Help!
