"Who was that, Ven?" asked Terra harshly once Vanitas was out of sight. Ven looked down not daring to look Terra or Aqua in the eye. "Don't go near him anymore."

Ven looked up with a hurt expression, turning to Aqua, but she just looked away.

"Why?"

"Ven, I felt a strong darkness fom him," answered Aqua. "We only want what's best for you."

Ven whined, "But Aqua!"

"No buts!"

Ventus stayed quiet after that and was lost in his thought as Aqua and Terra talked. Ven knew Vanitas was dangerous they didn't have to remind him, but... that didn't mean he didn't want to see Vanitas again. He didn't know why, he just did. Then without releasing it he sighed and spook out loud Vanitas's name. He gasped when he grasped what he just did.

Terra growled, "What did you just say?"

Ven was about to speak, but Aqua jumped in, "What are you talking about, Terra? He never said anything."

Terra looked over to Aqua and ran his hand through his hair mumbling that he must be hearing things. Ven sighed in relief and looked over to Aqua who he was sure winked. This confused Ventus, if Aqua heard him why was she not mad? He noticed Aqua smiling and happily talking to Terra, and then he understood Aqua just didn't want to lose Terra to the darkness; even if that meant lying to him.

"Come on, Ven," smiled Aqua back at Terra. "Let's go."

Ven nodded and got up from the bench exclaiming, "Can we go to Radiant Garden?"

"Sure," answered Terra. Ven smiled in victory and thought before following his best friends that Vanitas might be rubbing off on him.

When they landed in Radiant Garden Ven told the older two keyblade wielders he was going to see some friends before running off. He wasn't completely lying he did run into Lea and Isa.

"Look who it is!" yelled Lea as he noticed Ven almost running past them. "Where's the fire?"

Ven apologized, "Sorry, I was meeting a friend and I don't know where he is."

"What does he look like?" asked Lea.

"Black hair and amber eyes, you can't miss him."

"I walked past him at the Fountain Court," answered Isa. Ven thanked him and went running off again.

When he made it to the Fountain Court he didn't find Vanitas, but he did see what he thought was a Mandrake walking around at the other end of the Courtyard. He hurriedly got past the large fountain getting to the other side, but the Unversed already ran off. Following the Mandrake up the inclines and finally catching.

"Gotcha," smiled Ven as the Mandrake's three leaf blades drooped in defeat. It soon disappeared and turned to were the darkness headed to. Vanitas was standing to his left leaned against the wall with his eyes closed and arms crossed.

"Vanitas," complained Ventus with a smile that didn't make it seem like a complaint. "Can you please stop sending the Unversed?"

Vanitas opened his eyes and looked over to Ventus. Ventus was lost in Vanitas's stare. His face showed no emotions and didn't speak a world. Ventus couldn't look away from Vanitas's amber eyes. Vantias pushed himself off the wall and grabbed Ventus's arm pinning him to the wall. Ventus blushed and felt Vanitas's thumb stroke his check. He didn't close his eyes as Vanitas moved in closer. He didn't want to fall for the same trick again. When Vanitas's lips actually touched his his eyes widen and his blush got redder, but once Vanitas deepen the kiss Ventus couldn't keep his eye open.

Vanitas let go of Ventus's arm and pulled him closer by the waist. Ventus was now kissing him back his arms around Vanitas's neck. Vanitas's tongue found its way into Ven's mouth and subsequently the moment was ruin with the yelling of three different voices.
