Chapter One: Rain of Sorrow

Black haired boy with scary yellow eyes was leaving the classroom. Everyone was afraid of him duo to his look and aggressiveness. He usually bullied kids for money or other things. If you didn’t give him the things he wanted, you could suffer the injury from him. That was the reason why everyone went home as soon as the school was finished.

The name of that boy was Vanitas.

When the school was over, Vanitas went to the schoolyard. There he usually found a victim for bulling. But the schoolyard was already empty when he got there. No groups of chattering girls or boy’s gangs.

“Damn it!” he said as he kicked the stone on the ground.

He was about to go home when he heard sounds behind him. On the school’s door was unusually small boy with blonde hair, carrying a school bag and another bag. Boy didn’t seem tough and yet he was moving very slowly with his head down. Vanitas quietly went to him and pushed him against the wall.

“Alright, kid! Give me all your money or you’ll be sorry.” he said with rough voice.

Usually others started struggling, screaming, begging him to stop. But that boy was different. He was still holding his head down and quietly whimpered. His arm slowly went to his pocket…

“Don’t even think about calling help!”

Boy took some banknotes from it and gently gave them to Vanitas.

“I’m sorry if it’s not enough… “ boy said with quiet voice.

Vanitas was very confused. Why did that boy give him money just like that? And he even said sorry!

“Please, don’t hurt me… I just came from hospital…”

Boy now reared his head. Vanitas could clearly see bandages on his head. For some time he just stared into him. He didn’t know what to do. It was not his style to hurt the injured ones. Without a second though he put the banknotes back into his hand and run away.

Something about that boy was different. So innocent with that face and eyes… Picture of him couldn’t leave Vanitas’s mind. He was running and running until he reached an old house, much away from the others. In the moment he stepped in, he dodged the bottle that hit the door instead.

“Where have you been, you lazy brat?”

Voice came from a man who was standing in the hall. He had the same eyes as him, but much scarier face. That was no other than his old man.

“Sorry… but I… didn’t bring anything for today” he said while trembling.

Vanitas was extremely afraid of him. Talking to him felt like a talking to a bomb, which’s going to explode any time. That was also the reason why did he need to bully others. Since when was little, he needed to bring money to his father, Xehanort. If he didn’t, old man punish him in the “old fashion way”. Even if he brought something, he got bruisers from him. But to brought nothing…

“So, you were lazy today!”

In the same moment Xehanort hit him. His punch left clearly mark on his face. Vanitas dodged the next punch, holding his bleeding nose. After that he felt the kicks into his stomach. He thought that the kicks and punches won’t end. The pain was so terrible.

In the end, Xehanort threw him out.

“And don’t even think about coming back!” old man said when he shouted the door.

Vanitas slowly stood up. His entire body was punished more than anything. With a head, full of the sadness he walked back to school. Where could he else go than the place when he’s somehow safe?

He sat on the stairs, staring on the schoolyard. Why he couldn’t take the money from that boy? If he did, that wouldn’t happen in the first place. He angrily punched the ground.

“It’s his fault!” he said when it started raining.

Soon he was shivering from the cold. How can he survive entire night on a cold like this?

“Are you alright?” voice asked.

Vanitas looked up. There he was, the same boy with blonde hair! He was dressed in coat, holding an umbrella and a shopping bag. Boy moved umbrella closer to him, protecting him from the rain.

“Why… are you doing this? After anything that I done to you?”

But the boy didn’t reply. He only took his coat off, wrapping Vanitas in it.

“You’re gonna catch a cold if you stay here any longer. Let’s go to my place.”

“But, why…?”

Boy touched Vanitas’s mouth what made him shut up.

“It’s not the right place for a chat. We’re gonna talk at my place.”

“What’s your name?” Vanitas asked.

“I’m Ventus. Just Ven is fine. What’s yours?”

“I’m Vanitas…”

Boy smiled.

“Mind if I call you Vani?”

Strange… in the same moment Vanitas felt something deep inside him. What was that? So pure and warm… could it be… friendship?

“That’s fine by me.”

With those thoughts he quietly followed the boy who was holding umbrella at his side.
