lucetilogs | Confronting pure darkness

Who: Naoto and Vanitas
What: Naoto confronting Vanitas
When: Early in the afternoon - June 20th
Where: In the forest to the west of the village
Summary: Naoto's still pretty upset and isn't going to let the whole attacking Sora thing slide. She can't just let someone like that walk around, so she's made the (reckless) choice to confront Vanitas, alone.
Rating: PG-13 to R for violence

Ever since the night Sora was found gravely injured, Naoto has been unable to rest peacefully knowing that Vanitas is still walking around. In a sense, he reminds her of Adachi but Vanitas actually isn't afraid to show what a monster he is. He even sounded like he was proud of what he did! There's no way she let him just get away with it, she wants answers, she wants him to pay.

She's heard enough about him from Ven and Roxas, that he's "pure darkness" but that isn't stopping her from finding him. If she had told the others her intentions, there's no doubt they would have stopped her, especially Souji. So gun loaded and ready, she's out in the forest to look for him, alone.

What gives away that she's getting closer are the strange creatures that are lurking about though she does her best to avoid them. They must be the unversed Ven told her about. Once she maneuvers her way through the trees and unversed, she comes across a dark figure, it has to be him.

"Vanitas." To make her presence known.

Honestly, he'd expected that his earlier show would create more of a stir. Aside from a lot of angry responses over the journals, there hadn't been much follow-up to his heinous act. In a way, he'd been disappointed that Sora's friends hadn't come bounding out of the village, hunting for his blood.

But maybe, it was just taking them a while to get started. Vanitas doesn't have a lot of forewarning before he notices Naoto's presence--maybe a minute or two when he hears someone moving through the nearby trees--before she's there.

That moment's all he needs to get his reflexes ready, though. He's already turning in her direction when she utters his name, helmet secured over his head and hiding his features. There's a crack on the visor, now--the result of a blow from Sora's weapon. But it's still intact.

And then, he does something a little out of the ordinary. Raising his hands, he gives a few, slow claps. "Congratulations. You found me."
