"What are they doing?" asked the smallest of the group, a girl with short black hair.

The oldest boys, one blonde and one brunette seemed to ignoring the other girls squealing as they tried to leave. Ven pushed Vanitas away and cleared his throat with a blush.

"Oh, don't stop on our account," said the raven haired girl wearing a blue dress.

"Come on, Aerith, Rinoa," said the busty teenage girl as she walked after the boys. "Hurry up or you're being left behind."

The light brunette walked away with the youngest girl following behind. Rinoa waited for a moment as Ven stood there awkwardly and Vanitas grinned. She left once the busty girl yelled for her again.

"That was a mistake," said Ven as he walked away. Vanitas frowned as he followed Ventus. Ven seemed to quicken his steps and Vanitas was now angry.

Grabbing Ven's wrist he forced him to look at him and yelled, "What the hell's wrong with you? Just a moment ago you were enjoying it."

Ven got out of Vanitas's grip and yelled back, "I just basically kissed myself!" Vanitas glared as Ventus continued, "I just thought we could be friends."

Vanitas laughed, "Friends? Me and a weakling like you, friends, don't make me laugh." Ven felt heartbroken asking why Vanitas kissed him. Vanitas harshly said what he knew was a lie, "I'm just messing with your little head, more of a reason for you to fight me."

"Is that all this was about, that stupid x-blade?"

"That's all it's ever been," he said smiling evilly. He watched as Ventus ran away with tears in his eyes. Vanitas stood there for a moment before speaking to someone who just appeared. "Guess you were right."

Master Xehanort smiled darkly.

The tears wouldn't stop falling. He just wanted the pain to go away. Ven was crying so hard he didn't see the person he ended up running into.

"Ventus," said the worried Aqua. "What happened?"

Ven couldn't tell her, so he just kept crying.

When Aqua and Ven finally found Terra he seemed strange. Terra turned to Aqua and Ven and glared.

"I'm going to the Keyblade Graveyard."

"What, why?" asked Aqua alarmingly.

Terra looked to Ventus and said, "Master Xehanort and Vanitas were just here a moment ago. Anything you want to tell me?"

Ven looked down at his feet and Aqua tried to talk to Terra, but he wouldn't listen. Terra left with Aqua following behind. At that moment Ventus remembered what Vanitas told him at Destiny Islands.

He pulled out his way finder and said to himself, "I have to protect Terra and Aqua."

The story never changed once Ventus headed off to the Keyblade Graveyard. Nothing changed. His and Vanitas's fate was decided the day they were broken apart. That didn't mean that both Vanitas and Ventus wanted it to end that way, but Ventus just kept telling himself that Terra and Aqua were who he really cared about, who he wanted to protect, even if it was a lie.


A/N: That's how it was always going to end. I ended up running out of ideas and every time I saw Ventus I remembered Roxas, then I cried. I've been in a depressed mood lately and I hate ending stories, but this story needed an ending. I hope you will review and forgive me if it feels rushed. This was a my first story and pretty sure if I didn't finish it now I would never finish it.
