The Masked Dance
-I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy or any of the characters from them-
A/N: This is a time skip backwards, if that makes any sense . I wanted this to be chapter 2 but I was to busy to change it. We're going to be viewing what the princes' think on the ball! :P
Chapter 3: The Day Before The Dance
Vanitas walked along side his older brother, and heir to the throne, Ventus. He sighed and looked at Ventus, "Why must we par-take in such nonsense as a ball?" Ventus looked over at Vanitas. "Van, please be resonable about this. The last time you through a fit someone got hurt..." He rolls his eyes, "He honestly had it coming, he didn't need ten fingers anyway...nine is just as good..." Ventus stops and puts his hand on Vanitas' shoulder, "Please Van, I'm being serious. You don't even need to talk to anyone. Just...show up. And at least try to act like you're enjoying yourself? That's all I'm asking of you." Van groaned and looked up at Ventus with a glare of pure hatred. "Fine."
Sora skipped merily beside his twin, Roxas. "I can't wait! It's gonna be so much fun! And Axels gonna make tons of food!" Sora's smile was a mile long and Roxas could only chuckle. "Sometimes I think the only reason you agree to go to these things is because of all the food." Sora's smile only grew as he teased, "Maaaybee~" Roxas laughed as they reached the dining room, it was around dinner time and Sora insisted they not be late. They just so happen to run into their eldest brothers -Van and Ven :P- when they got to the dinning room door, Ventus smiled at them and greeted them happily while Van looked away and grumbled a "hello" he was obviously pissed about something, but none of them dared to ask, he had a track record of "fits" and usually people got hurt when he had one.
They yall sat down to eat, Sora stuffed his face while Ven and Roxas paced them selves and Vanitas didn't even put a dent in his food. His mother Aerith noticed and looked at him with nothing but concern plastered on her face, "Vanitas dear, what ever is the matter?" Vanitas looked at Aerith and spoke quietly with a bit of iritation, "Nothing...may I be excused?" Aerithed looked at her husband Zack and he shruged continueing to focus on his more important dinner. "I suppose..." Aerith said hesitantly. Vanitas bid his fairwells and headed off to his room for the night.
He couldn't get to sleep so he was left alone with his thoughts. 'I don't understand why they make me do this...just because I'm a prince doesn't mean I WANT the attention.' He thought, he wasn't one much for being around people- unless it was his brothers. They were the only ones who partially understood him. But even they didn't understand everything about him. No one did. 'Why don't they just strip me of my title all ready?! It's not like I'll make a good king. Everyones to scared to tell me that. Why can't they get it into there thick skulls that I REALLY DON'T CARE.' and with that he fell asleep.
A/N: Omg! So sorry for the wait on this chapter! I had horrible writer's block because I have so much on my mind...But anyway, short chapter that is really all over the place, I know it's pretty bad. .' It was suppose to be the second chapter but I failed and now it's the third chapter. I promise though, the next chapter will be better! Things are gonna start heating up. And on a side note I know it's bad to say this as a writer, but I honestly don't know where I was going with this chapter! :O Van has problems, Ven is responsible, Roxas is laughing, and SOra- well he's still Sora. But...I don't know. Where's my Light-Aura with ideas when I need her?! DX And the title of this chapter sucks too...I couldn't think of anything, other than this.
