Less than Planned

Sora knocked on the front door of his house and waited. He could faintly hear footsteps from the other side advance towards the door. Sora looked up towards the night sky and sucked in a deep breath of the cool, salty ocean air. How he missed the cool ocean breeze brushing past his hair and contacting with his skin making the hair on his arms stick up. Sora let out the breath he was holding and looked towards the door as he heard the door unlock. How was he going to explain to his mother how he got out of the Asylum? How was he going to explain why he didn't stop by earlier? And this late at night? No matter the questions, Sora was very glad to see his Mother again even if it was to talk about his Father. Sora tensed up when he saw the door open and his Mother standing in the doorway. Sora's mother froze when she saw her son on the steps.

Sora sighed. "Hi Mom..." Sora was caught off guard when his mother grabbed him in a forceful hug but then immediately let go and stared at him in fear.

"Sora, honey. Why are you here?"

Sora saw the worry in his mother's eyes. "I-I came to talk about father…Mom what's wrong?" Sora got pulled quickly into the house and the door was shut behind him. Sora looked at his Mom to see her hands on her hips and a frustrated look on her face.

"Time to explain Sora. How and why did you break out of the institution? It's all over the news! You know how many friends I have come up to me and bring it up? Lots!"

Sora looked down. "Look, I'm sorry…"

"Let's start with the how. How did you do it? They say it's like you evaporated out of thin air! How'd you do it?"

"I-"

"And don't you dare lie to me Sora!"

Sora sighed. "..Kairi…"

Sora heard his mom shift her feet. "Kairi? You mean that teenage Nurse who looks after you?"

Sora looked up at his mother. "You know Kairi?"

His mother nodded. "She stopped by a few weeks ago. She's very nice so why would she bust you out?"

"Because…" Sora couldn't continue the conversation. He lied…but only just a bit. Kairi did break him out…just not of his cell.

"Alright. Fine. How about we talk about the why…why?"

"I don't belong there…and Kairi agrees."

Sora's mom shook her head. "You know, she said she was going to help you leave, but I didn't know she meant breaking you out! Sora…you need to leave."

Sora looked at his mother shocked. "W-What?"

"Sora I'm not doing it to be mean! The guards from the institution will be here at any minute! They said they'd stop by at this time!"

"But Mom!"

"Sora, go! You can't be seen!"

"Was Father really my Father!" Sora looked at his Mother with tears in his eyes. His Mother was the same.

"What?"

"You heard me. Who is my real father?"

"Sora…now is not the time…"

"So it's true!"

"Sora honey, enough!"

"Is Roxas even my brother!"

"Sora…"

Sora stared at his mother in disbelief. "How could you!"

"Sora listen to me..."

"Was it him? Was it?"

"Who?"

"Vanitas!"

Sora's mother looked at her son shocked. "Sora…you're still ill aren't you…"

Sora stared at his mom. "What…ill? Mom, not you too…but its true isn't it…"

"Sora…" Before his mother could continue, there was the sound of doors shutting behind them. Sora quickly turned around to see the Asylum security guard's coming out of a van and advancing towards them. Sora quickly sprinted past his mom with the guard's close behind him. Sora shot through the kitchen and through the sliding door and finally jumping over his backyard fence past the pool. Once he knew he was clear Sora bolted back to Kairi's house with tears streaming down his face.

Kairi was sitting next to Namin'e on the couch waiting for Sora's return. They heard footsteps from behind and turned to see Roxas.

Kairi smiled. "Hey Roxas."

Roxas nodded as a hello and sat on the couch next to Namin'e who immediately tensed up and Roxas noticed.

Roxas sighed. "Namin'e, please don't be afraid of me. I'm not going to hurt you." Namin'e didn't respond except for moving closer to Kairi. Kairi wanted to get up and give Roxas his time with her but she couldn't leave Namin'e alone yet. Yet being the key word. Roxas felt hurt rush through him. "Namin'e please…" Namin'e still didn't give a response. Roxas sighed and got up and walked into the kitchen. Kairi looked at her sister.

"Namin'e, I know you're still shook up about the whole…rape thing..." Namin'e cringed at the word and the memories that followed. "But you shouldn't shut out Roxas. He's a great guy and he was there to save you when Vanitas came for you. I'm not asking to just forget everything that has happened, just…just give him a chance. Okay?" Namin'e nodded. Kairi smiled and nudged her sister. "Besides, I think he might like you." Kairi giggled as a blush came across Namin'e's face.

Sora then quickly busted through the front door and slammed it behind him. Kairi shot up off the couch at the sight of Sora and walked towards him quickly but stopped when she noticed the tears on his face. Sora was breathing heavily and looked towards Kairi. Kairi stared at Sora and it was like she felt all his pain through his eyes. "Sora…" Kairi went to reach for Sora but he quickly retreated up the stairs and all that could be heard was the loud shut of a door. Kairi turned towards a confused Roxas and Namin'e. "I'll go see what happened." Kairi then followed in Sora's footsteps vanishing from Namin'e and Roxas's sights. Roxas turned to look at Namin'e to only for the first time, make eye contact with her and she never turned away. Roxas scratched the back of his head. "You wanna watch a movie?"

Kairi slowly opened the door to her room to see Sora and the ground with his knees to his chest and his hands covering his eyes. Kairi closed the door behind her when she entered the room. Kairi walked to Sora and sat beside him. "Sora?"

"It's true…"

"What is?"

"Vanitas…he's my father…" Kairi looked at Sora shocked. The man who was responsible for ruining her whole life…his hell spawn of a child was right next to her. Sora looked up at Kairi.

"Kairi please…I'm so sorry. I didn't know…" Kairi understood what he was apologizing for. Kairi laid her hand on Sora's check.

"I know." Sora stared at Kairi and leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Kairi placed her hand on the back of Sora's neck and leaned in further. Kairi's lips moved smoothly with Sora's. Sora wrapped his arms around Kairi's waist and pulled her closer. After a few seconds they parted and looked at eachother blushing. Kairi giggled.

"You know, it's inappropriate as well as against the rules for a Nurse to make out with her patient."

Sora smiled. "I don't care. Besides…" Sora pecked Kairi's lips. "We haven't made out…" Sora gently leaned against Kairi making her lay back on the floor as Sora moved his face close to hers and grinned. "At least not yet anyways." Kairi smiled as Sora kissed her once again more passionately.

Roxas and Namin'e were sitting next to eachother on the couch watching a movie. Roxas looked over at Namin'e.

"Namin'e…what happened that made you so afraid of guys?"

Namin'e looked away. "I was hurt…" Roxas's heart melted at the gentle, soft sound of her voice.

"How were you hurt?"

"I was attacked by a patient…he…he hurt me…inside…" Namin'e looked away but Roxas still noticed the tear strolling down her cheek.

"Namin'e…I'm so sorry…I didn't…who did it?"

Namin'e didn't respond. Roxas Slowly moved his hand onto hers but as soon as it made contact Namin'e pulled away. "Namin'e…tell me…"

At that point Namin'e told him everything.

Sora and Kairi ended up on Kairi's bed somehow in the middle of their make out session and were still kissing eachother passionately. Sora pulled away and nuzzled his nose against Kairi's making her giggled quietly. "Kairi…" Kairi looked up at Sora. "Will you be mine?"

Kairi smiled. "Of course I will." Sora kissed her nose.

"And one more thing. No matter what happens…you will still be mine."

"Of course I will."

"Promise?"

Kairi kissed Sora. "Promise."

Roxas just listened to Namin'e's story, regretting for even asking the question in the first place. "Namin'e…I'll make sure he'll pay…"

Namin'e looked at Roxas. "Promise?"

"Promise."

Sora looked at Kairi sleeping on his chest. After there make out session they decided to relax for a bit but Kairi fell asleep. Sora felt this was the best time to go and talk to Vanitas. Sora slowly started to evaporate into the darkness but before leaving he managed to kiss Kairi's forehead without stirring her. Sora entered the realm of darkness and looked around for Vanitas. Sora's eyes lay upon Aqua staring at him with regret in her eyes. Sora walked over to her sadly.

"You knew didn't you…you knew all along." Aqua nodded sadly. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you weren't ready yet Sora."

Sora looked at Aqua confused. "Ready for what?"

Aqua sighed. "Accepting who you are…what you were."

"What are you talking about? What I was?"

"You knew the truth all long but chose not to accept it. You didn't want to face the truth and lose who you are."

"Face what fact? The fact that Vanitas is my father?"

Aqua stared at the boy. "You mean, you still don't know?"

Sora looked at Aqua confused. "Know what?"

Vanitas appeared behind Sora. "The full truth."

Sora turned around and saw Vanitas in his armor standing behind him. Sora, for the first time in meeting this horrible person, met his eyes that were filled with…sorrow?

"Dad…"

Vanitas chuckled lightly. "Sora. You were always so clueless…"

Sora stood up in front of Vanitas. "Why…"

"Why what?"

"Why all of this? What do you want from it all?"

Vanitas stared at Sora. "I want my life back."

Sora sighed. "Then come back…" Vanitas let out a dark laugh.

"You honestly think you still know everything…Sora, how do I break this to you? I'm not your father."

Sora looked at Vanitas shocked. "What? But Mother…"

"…Said…" Vanitas interrupted. "…nothing about your father."

"Then how does she know your name?"

"Because Sora…" Vanitas glared at Sora. "Because I'm you." Sora stared at Vanitas then back to Aqua confused. Aqua looked towards the ground away from Sora's eyes. Sora turned back to Vanitas.

"But…but how?"

Vanitas smiled. "Oh little Vanitas…how badly he wanted to be a hero. A hero who raised to a challenge, to protect who he must." Vanitas started to circle Sora like a Hawk circling its prey. "However, little Vanitas didn't think his name was 'hero-like'. It sounded more like something a villain would be named. So that little boy used his imagination and created Sora. The hero of everyone's dreams. Sooner or later that young boy got so wrapped up in this fantasy that he started making everyone call him…Sora."

Sora shook his head. "You're lying! If this is all true why are you so much older than me?"

Vanitas stopped circling and got in Sora's face. "I would tell you. However I think it's much easier to show you." Vanitas forced his hands on Sora's skull and squeezed. Sora started to scream and writhe in pain. "Face the truth!"

'A little boy with brown spiky hair was running around the yard playing with wooden swords with his younger brother, Roxas who had blond spiky hair. Roxas stopped running to catch his breath.

"Vanitas! Slow down! Imma die of a heart attack and mommy will hurt you real bad!"

Vanitas turned around and raised his sword in the air. "You'll never be able to catch the mighty hero Sora!"

Roxas stared at his brother confused. "Who's Sora?"

Vanitas smiled. "I am! That's my hero's name!"

Roxas giggled. "Cool! Can I get a cool heroes name?"

Vanitas nodded. "Sure if you want!"

Roxas put his finger to his chin. "How about…Ventus?" Vanitas looked at his brother.

"That sounds an awful close to Vanitas…"

Roxas shrugged. "Yeah but we are brothers."

Vanitas smiled. "That's true!"

The young boys started playing again until they were called in for lunch by their mother. Later that night, the boys were being tucked in by their mother who looked very upset.

Vanitas looked up to his mother. "Mommy, what's wrong?"

Their mother shook her head. "It's nothing dear. It's just that hurricane warning sounds like we are going to get hit really bad and your father isn't back yet."

Roxas looked at his mother frightened. "Where is daddy?"

"He went to go on the boat."

Vanitas looked at his mother with pride. "Don't worry mommy, dad will be back! He was in the war after all! Nothing can stop him!" The boys' mother smiled down at her son and kissed his forehead.

"I know…goodnight." Before the boys' mother could exit the room Roxas stopped her.

"Mommy?"

The boys' mother turned around. "Yes sweetie?"

"Can you turn on the night light?"

The mother smiled. "Roxas, are you scared of the dark?"

Vanitas grinned. "Have no fear brother! Sora is here!" The mother looked at her son confused. "Sora?"

"Yup! It's my hero name!"

"Really?"

"Yup! Sora's never afraid…but sometimes Vanitas is."

The mother started to play along to her son's game. "So Vanitas is scared of the dark but Sora isn't?"

"No ma'am!"

The mother smiled. "Well then…Sora…protect your brother."

The young boy smiled. "Of course!"

Later that night the boys were woken up by their mother and brought down to the basement when the hurricane hit. While down there in the dark the boys kept frantically asking where there father was and the mother kept making excuses saying he's on his way or is staying at a friend's house for the night. But she knew the truth…the moment there close friend Bill called her and told her that the boys' father's boat never docked at the pier when the storm hit.

Later that week a funeral was held for the father. And from then on Vanitas demanded to be called Sora since he was the new 'man in the house'.

In the next few years another funeral was held for Roxas who was beating to death. At that time Sora had shut everyone out.

Vanitas fluttered his eyes, struggling to get them open. When he did, he realized that he was laying on his back in the grass and staring up into the sky. Vanitas slowly sat up and looked around him. Where was he? Vanitas then stood up and noticed then how much he rose off from the ground.

"What the-" Vanitas stopped talking, shocked of the manly teenage voice that came out instead of a little boy's. Vanitas than rush through the woods until he reached an abandoned lake. The teen bent down and looked at his reflection in the lake. In the reflection he saw a muscular teenage face with yellow eyes that would shine throughout the darkness and spiky jet black hair.

"What happened to me?" Vanitas then got a burning sensation running through him. Vanitas screamed as a pool of darkness surrounded him and forms of darkness started to whip out from him.

"No! Not the dark! Please no!" Vanitas then heard his brother in his head, telling him to fight it, and he did. Vanitas then quickly turned his body around when he heard footsteps approaching. There were cops. Vanitas later got thrown in to the Asylum for complaining to the cops that the darkness was out to get him and his dead brother was speaking to him. Vanitas was there for two months until he became comfortable. He had a Nurse who was the kindest out of all in his opinion and pretty damn cute if he might add. She had sparkling blue hair then cut before her shoulders and her name was ironically Aqua. She was a beautiful creature. She would always visit Vanitas on breaks. One day Vanitas and Aqua were sitting next to eachother on his bed in his cell.

Aqua looked over Vanitas. She always thought he was handsome. It was her teenage hormones that made her want to kiss him so bad. Hell, if he wasn't in here she was pretty sure they'd be dating. He was a stunning sight in her eyes. To his jet black hair that shot in all directions and defied gravity, to his golden eyes that glowed like it was his spirit and every time she stared into them it was like staring into his soul. He was also very muscular yet thin at the same time which she was fine with. He also had a voice that was deep but not too deep that always had melted her heart.

Vanitas looked at Aqua to catch her staring. Damn, he didn't know how he evolved into a teen but he was glad he did. "Aqua?"

Aqua snapped out of her trance. "Yeah?"

"I have a secret…but promise never to tell anyone."

Aqua stared at Vanitas confused. "Of course I promise."

Vanitas sucked in a deep breath. "I've…never really kissed a girl before. I've never kissed anyone before actually…"

Aqua stared at Vanitas shocked. "You're 17 and you've never kissed anyone before?"

Vanitas looked away. If only she knew…

"Vanitas, look at me." Vanitas turned his face to look at Aqua's and was met with a soft surprise kiss on his lips. Before he could react though Aqua pulled away.

"Now, you have kissed someone." Vanitas leaned forward and captured Aqua's lips by surprised but she smiled and leaned in further. Aqua's back soon met the bed as Vanitas kissed her more. Aqua pushed Vanitas away and giggled at the sad look on his face. "Let's not get carried away." Vanitas smiled and kissed her forehead.

Years passed and somewhere during those years Vanitas and Aqua got into too many fights and later stopped seeing eachother. Aqua met a nice man outside of the Asylum and became pregnant with a baby girl. Aqua was at the front desk collecting paperwork and walked over to the couch to sit down and fill it out. Couple minutes later she felt she cushion next to her sink into the couch and she turned to see Vanitas was sitting next to her. Aqua smiled at Vanitas but as usual he didn't smile back. He never smiles anymore…not since they stopped talking four years ago. Vanitas's eyes wandered to her stomach and Aqua frowned. She knew what he was thinking.

Vanitas broke the silence. "What is it?" Oh how she missed his voice…

"It's a girl."

"May I?" Aqua nodded and Vanitas laid his hand softly on her belly. Vanitas sighed. "I can feel her moving." He remembers when he was a child. Vanitas remembers when he checked what year it was when he awoke in those woods…it was years before he was born. He never questioned how that was possible. He never wanted to know. He was already confused as it was.

"I'm happy for you…" Vanitas whispered.

"Vanitas…" Before Aqua could finish he walked away.

After a few years, Aqua's giving birth to a girl she named Kairi and she was already 4 years old. Aqua was given the duty to lock up the place after dark so she followed the orders. On her way to lock up everything Aqua noticed that a cell door was wide open. As she advanced closer she realized it was Vanitas's. She walked into the doorframe and peeked in to see Vanitas sitting in the middle of the floor naked, curled up in a ball with his back to the door. Aqua slowly walked towards Vanitas.

"Vanitas? Are you alright?" When she reached him she kneeled in front of him to see his face. Vanitas looked up at Aqua and laid his hand on her cheek.

"Why…"

"Why what?"

"Why'd you leave me? You could've been mine…your daughter would've been mine…why'd you leave me?"

Aqua looked at Vanitas sadly. "I don't know. We fought and just never made up."

"I want you…I need you…to be mine…forever."

Vanitas grabbed Aqua's shoulders and pushed her harshly on the floor. Vanitas started to rip off her clothing scaring Aqua.

"V-Vanitas! Stop!" Vanitas ignored her plea and kissed her harshly and whispered into her ear. "You are mine now." That night Vanitas took her on the hard, cold floor. After Vanitas absorbed them in a pool of Darkness and vanished from the Asylum. The Nurses and Doctors arrived the next morning to find everything still unlocked and Aqua and Vanitas gone. Soon the rumors started and Kairi grew up in a life filled the rumors about her mother.

Years passed in the dark realm and Vanitas still had Aqua has a hostage. They would often exchange love kisses from the emotions they still had for one another. Vanitas would sometimes hurt Aqua in his uncontrollable outburst of rage but make up for it later with sweet kisses of forgiveness that Aqua couldn't help but accept. She started to accept the apology kisses that soon led to make out sessions that later led to other things, when she realized the hold that the Darkness had on him. She knew it wasn't his fault…he was a damaged, trapped soul. Most times he would hold her when she cried, other times he would scream at her for being weak. Vanitas slowly started to be consumed by the Darkness but Aqua would help him remember the boy he used to be and he would get control of himself quicker and easier. Vanitas then wanted his life back. A life without Darkness. He would grab his 'other half' and absorb his light so that it would vanquish the Darkness inside him forever and he could be with his Aqua. Then together they would start to take care of Kairi and raise another child that was a part of Vanitas. Kairi's father left her alone with her aunt and uncle when Aqua went missing. Great father huh? All he needed was Sora. He had to get him into the Asylum. So he started scaring Sora, then he ended up in the Asylum just as planned. Until he met Kairi…Aqua's daughter…and he fell in love with her…then it got complicated…but it had to be done…he was real, Sora was just a shell. All shells have to crack somehow.

Vanitas let go of Sora's head as Sora dropped to his knees. Sora shook his head when it stopped hurting. "Vanitas…Aqua…I didn't know…"

Vanitas walked over to Aqua and rubbed her cheek and undid her chains. They were just a prop to fool Sora. Vanitas then turned to Sora. "Now you understand?" Sora nodded his head.

"You must be one with the Darkness. When you do…everything will be back to normal. Roxas…he isn't real…he's all in your head…same with the girl. Kill them and you'll see."

"Kairi?"

Vanitas shook his head. "Bring her back. I don't think I have to ask you to do it with harming her…"

Sora nodded and returned to the outside world…to finish the orders that were given to him…to unleash the truth…
