It would be funny later on when Vanitas learns the significance of the date, but at the moment he could care less. The one thing keeping the skirt and helmet clad boy in check had just vanished before morning rolled around.

Vanitas had searched high and low for Ventus. After confirming the lack of his other half from both Contact’s List he had appeared outside the last place he saw his sleeping Light. He wasn’t even. Even if he had a small list of possible back-ups, the real thing was gone. Rejoice, Mouse, once again Ventus had to vanish from existence to keep Vanitas from getting him.

A little blood and destruction would make a wonderful Friday the Thirteenth gift, right?

The Ice Cream shop was his destination. He was erasing anything that could be linked to Ventus from the Bubble. He did like Ice Cream, right? And it’ll give the good guys something to be busy with while he eliminated the living links.

He opened a portal and arrived just on the outside of the shop. Summoning a few Unversed to remove any local issue that could be loitering on the inside. If he took out the “prisoners” then all of Vatheon would be on him, but if one were to wander inside, then that was just asking to be snuffed out.

After giving a glance around, he entered the Ice Cream shop, ready to destroy it. Little did he know he’s going to be given an extra treat.

((OoC: Any watchers are free to react to the ice cream shop needing repairs. With the locals being fast little buggers, they will probably have it fixed up in a couple days. )).

“Looks like it’s your win for now.” He said as he vanished through the portal. He’ll reappear on the other side of the plaza up on the highest building there. Really, he probably could have taken them, but he had to find out what he was up against.

That guy with the flame swords was something new.

He seemed to have a firm enough grasp on bouncing between “Normal” and dark. It was a curious enough sight to be worth investigating. When he gets bored, he will leave a nice enough message for the kid to not get in his way. To those still in the wreckage of the ice cream shop- Vanitas was gone and all was well again.

"GET BACK HERE!"

The second Vanitas had tried to retreat, the half-demon was after him. Well as much as one could be "after" some one who used portals to get around. He tore out of what was left of the ice cream shop, caring not for his injuries or just how much Vanitas had already tossed him around without much effort.

He skidded to a halt when he did finally spot Vanitas on the roof a good distance away - too far for even his speed and agility to catch up to before he would likely teleport away again.

"Tch... damn!" he hissed, sheathing his sword and extinguishing the flames. He winced as soon as the rush of them was gone, replaced by a dull all-over ache and several spots of much more uncomfortable pain where his injuries were worst. He was already healing, though slower than usual, which meant he was going to be feeling the battle for the next several hours, if not in to the next day.

"... Maka's gonna be pissed..." he muttered to himself, hand clenching and clenching at his side. He considered what to do next, beat up and torn to hell as he was.

Right... Kohaku was a healer... and she would probably take the news with much less anger and desire to go after Vanitas than Maka or Masaru would.

Roxas followed him out more slowly. He couldn't feel exactly where the other end of the portal had opened up, but that was enough to tell him it wouldn't be close by. Following Rin's gaze, he caught sight of Vanitas on the far building, and just looked up at him frowning for a moment.

He could have followed. He could have opened a portal to that roof and tried to continue the fight. But it wasn't a fight he'd gone looking for, nor one he really wanted.

Instead he just let Oblivion vanish and turned to the boy with the tail. "You okay?" ...he didn't exactly look it, but Roxas probably didn't either.

Rin touched his clawed up shoulder and grimaced, hand still pulling back blood even as the torn flesh started to mend back together. Again, slower than usual, which concerned him since this was the first time he'd actually been badly injured in Vatheon. He hadn't given much thought to how being there would affect him and his powers, but it was clear the coral and distance from Gehenna was going to be an issue.

Bits of steam actually curled up from where he was injured, faint but visible. Damn it hurt...

He wobbled a bit, looking up at Roxas with a worn expression, forcing a smile as he hoisted the sheathed Kurikara.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Half a lie. Physically, sure, but he didn't want to admit the fight had shaken him up. Demons and other exorcists were one thing, but Vanitas was... something else. Something that was a little too close to Rin's own darkness for his comfort. "You?"

Roxas's wounds weren't bleeding as much as a normal person's might have. Nobodies weren't as flesh-and-blood as humans; they didn't bleed to death, they just faded away. But he didn't feel anywhere close to that. Mostly just worn out.

"I'll be okay," he said, and after a moment he just sat down in the street with a plop. He felt numb right now more than shaken up. He'd been warned about Vanitas, and known there might be a fight if they met, but it had been different than he'd imagined. Somehow he hadn't expected that serious of a fight. What would have happened if he'd been on his own? He didn't know what to make of that thought.

"...thanks for the help."

Rin stared at him for a second before flopping down beside him, slipping his sword back in to it's holder and shouldering the black strap over his shoulder.

"Yeah, well..." he huffed, not really finishing his thought. He straightened, looking around, "Hey, where's Riku... ?"
