7. Juice Box
Riku and Sora found it strange that Kairi asked to speak with Yuffie. Kairi wasn't the biggest supporter of their unusual relationship but she wasn't one of the more aggressive enemies either.
Yuffie plopped down on the field of grass. Kairi came up behind her with two juice cartons in hand. She held out one.
Yuffie narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the offering before accepting it. She carelessly threw the plastic behind her and stabbed the foil at the top. She didn't trust her. She couldn't trust her.
Kairi stayed standing. "You know that I don't like you," she started. Yuffie's eyes narrowed even further. "But I care for Sora and Riku. A lot more than you can imagine."
Yuffie bolted up. "You-"
Kairi held up her hand. "Let me finish. Even though our friendship is severed, I still care for them very much. They don't seem like it, but they're very sensitive boys and get hurt very easily. So please…" She bowed deeply. "Take care of them."
An unnamed glint sparkled in Yuffie's eyes. "I swear on-"
"Don't swear on your life. I don't care for it," Kairi interjected briskly.
Yuffie looked deterred for a moment. She held up her now empty juice box. "Then I swear on this juice box that I won't hurt them."
Kairi seemed satisfied at that. "Good. As long as you know what's up." She walked away from Yuffie towards the school building. Her business was done.
Yuffie merely stared at her back, making sure Kairi never turned around. Smiling wickedly, she crushed the juice box in her hand. The remaining droplets slid across her fingers and fell to the ground. "Sucker."
