Note: I'm so bad at experimental writing, I'm sorry if this is making you guys want to cough up blood! Just be happy I didn't post half the chapters I've written lately… I actually had a plan for this story, but now I can't remember what it was. These chapters are so long when I write them out on my computer, then I upload them and it looks like a tiny half-assed chapter instead...

Wasting a Day

Look at him. He thinks he's so damn cool. Yuffie scowled to herself and crossed her arms. She tapped her foot and shifted around behind the wall before leaning out again and checking to see if he'd left yet.

Yep, still there.

Sora was talking excitedly, Yuffie could hear him from her hiding place behind the wall. She couldn't quite understand what he was chirping about, but she could see that Riku was ignoring him. He would nod every few seconds, almost like clockwork. Kairi kept giggling, despite the fact that Sora wasn't usually saying anything all that funny… Yuffie rolled her eyes and sighed. She wanted to go sit down and giggle along with her. She'd been waiting all day for Riku to leave and go do whatever rude, stupid things he liked to do, but he just wouldn't go! It had only been a few hours, but Yuffie was really getting bored. This was more stealth training than she'd planned for the day, and she was ready to just go home and stick to terrorizing Leon.

Except that now she had gotten backed up to the Postern. If she wanted to go home she would have to take the long way around through the castle to avoid being seen. She knew Riku would ignore her, but Sora and Kairi would probably mob her and she'd be forced to sit down. Somehow sitting there trying to enjoy their company with Riku being a stuck-up creep didn't seem too appealing.

She was still considering it when her feet turned her around and she started wandering into the castle. She'd had enough spying for today, now she needed something else to grab her attention. Maybe Tron was busy and wouldn't notice if she snuck into the computer system again. That always provided a few hours of entertainment while she was hiding from Leon, anyway.
