Vanitas x reader

Chapter 8

~Vanitas' pov.~

After (y/n) contacted me on the radio, I literally sprinted towards the throne room. We were in the middle of enemy territory and anything could happen. As I ran down the hall, I could hear the echo of a battle in the distance. I summoned my key blade and prepared for a fight. I barged through the doors to the throne room and was filled with rage. Master Eraqus, Master Xehanort's enemy, was standing over (y/n) about to strike her. My body moved on its own as I ran between them and blocked his attack. It took all of the strength to keep myself up straight due to the force of his blow. I looked behind me and saw that (y/n) was holding the information. I also saw that her arm was wounded badly. I quickly analyzed the situation and concluded that it would be best for (y/n) to head back to master Xehanort without me. That way I could at least buy her some time. "(y/n), take the box and head back to HQ. Explain what happened to the master" I told her while still holding Eraqus back. "But what about you?" (y/n) asked. "I'll be fine, just get out of here!" I yelled, not out of anger but out of fear that she may get hurt more. (y/n) was shocked at my tone but quickly summoned a portal. Eraqus made an attempt to attack (y/n) before she could escape but I managed to push him back a significant amount. After (y/n) ran into the dark mist, I sighed in relief. Now that I knew that (y/n) was safe from harm, I could focus on the task at hand. And this would be no easy task. Eraqus and I circled around each other like wolves, preparing ourselves for the others attacks. "You were foolish to come and disrupt the peace of this land. I will not allow you to leave here unscathed!" Eraqus scolded me. "It is you who is the foolish one," I said in a dark tone, "for you have harmed the one I care about most and I will make you pay!"

~(y/n) pov.~

I teleported to the castle as fast as I could. I ran to the throne room where I could feel the master's presence. As I was entered the room, I found the master eagerly awaiting my return. "Have you found the information?" he asked. I was too out of breath to talk so I handed him the small box. As I struggled to catch my breath, the master silently read through one of the documents. Once he finished, I sickening smile crept onto his face. "Well done (y/n)" he commented as he began to walk out the door. "W-wait master!" I desperately cried out "Vanitas is in trouble!" At this, the master stopped, but his expression did not change. "Is that so? Well, it would be too dangerous for my to retrieve him, especially if Eraqus finds out that I was the one who plotted this. Vanitas is capable of taking care of himself" he explained before strolling out of the room. I was in complete shock at the master's words. How could he just abandon his star pupil as if he were trash? It was then when the pain of my wounds and weight of reality came crashing into me. I was too weak for this dark world. I was too weak to save my world, too weak to save my family, too weak to be Xehanort's pupil, And too weak to help the one thing worth fighting for; Vanitas. I couldn't keep my emotions back any longer as I started to sob uncontrollably. I removed my mask and threw it in hate. Despite feeling pathetic, I could do nothing but sob where I stood. I lost track of time but after a while, I was able to calm down a little. I managed to walk my way to the infirmary, still crying gently. There I grabbed a roll of gauze and dressed my wound. Once I was done, I gazed out of the window into the barren land around the castle. The sun was already starting to set. When we started the mission, it was about noon. How much time has it been since I've seen Vanitas? Is he alright? Will I ever see him again? As terrible thoughts swarmed my head, they were interrupted by a familiar presence. The presence of Vanitas.
