Chapter Six
Mimiru sat quietly at the breakfast table the next morning, sipping a cup
of tea. Yuffie and Sakura timidly approached her and sat down. Plates with
eggs, bacon, pancakes, and toast were set out. Mimiru placed her glass down
and poured the two girls some chocolate milk from a glass pitcher. Then,
she took up her glass again.
After a moment, in which Sakura and Yuffie ate their food with twisted
stomachs, Sakura pounded her silverware on the table. Mimiru looked up in
surprise.
"Yes, Sakura?"
"Why are you doing that?"
"Where were you?" replied Mimiru gently.
"We were out...."
"Out where exactly?"
"Does it matter?"
"A heartless could have attacked. Riku says they are back and he should
know."
"Riku, Riku, Riku," Sakura clucked her tongue.
"You have no right to talk back to me, Sakura," came the calm reply.
Feeling bad about her behavior and worrying her friend, Sakura told her,
"I'm sorry, Mimiru. We're both sorry."
"Thank you. Be more careful though. I want you to take your Keyblade with
you to places. Yuffie, please be careful."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mimiru shook her head and looked over towards the door as Matt entered,
wearing his green shirt, long tan shorts, and the black dragon shirt Sakura
had gotten for him.
"Hello, bud," she said brightly.
Matt came over and sat down.
"Good morning, sis, Sakura, Yuffie."
"Hey!"
"Great day!"
"How did your stuffed people turn out?" Mimiru asked slyly, she was a
little more playful now that she knew the two girls were safe.
Yuffie and Sakura blushed.
"They're great!"
"Eboshi did an awesome job!"
"So you even found out her name? You were actually efficient for a change!"
Sakura and Yuffie toppled out of their seats at the last comment. They
quickly scrambled up as Cloud and Leon peaked queerly at them from the
doorway to the kitchen and breakfast nook.
Cloud and Leon looked at the siblings questioningly. Matt shrugged and
Mimiru laughed brightly.
"Wow!" Riku said, appearing behind the other two men. "That's the first
time I've actually heard you laugh, Mimiru, with joy."
Mimiru blushed slightly.
"It's not like I've never laughed in my life before, Riku."
"Isn't her laugh pretty?" Sakura asked the boys, particularly Riku,
mischievously.
"Oh. It's not," Mimiru told her surely.
"Just be modest again!" exclaimed Yuffie in exasperation.
"Pride goes before the fall," Mimiru repeated calmly.
"Most definitely," Aeris told them, pushing past the men who still stood
unsurely in the doorway. "You've already made the breakfast, Mimiru!"
"I'm afraid it's not very good, I'm not much of a cook, but I wanted to
repay your kindness even just a little. It's not much of a thank you
though. After you taste it you may decide to throw us all out."
"Doubtful," Sora said as he entered. "Anyone's cooking would be better than
Kairi's."
"Or Kaoru's!" shouted Sakura randomly. Both Matt and Mimiru burst out
laughing as the others starred.
"Sorry!" Mimiru said, finally gaining control of herself again. "That was
bad, Sakura."
"Thank you."
"Well, are we going to just stand here or eat?" Cloud asked anxiously,
looking at the food and an open seat next to Sakura.
"Dig in!" Sakura told them, placing her hand on the seat t subtly save it
for him.
The others gathered around, Kairi, Goofy, Donald, and Stephiroth finally
appearing.
"Hey, guys," Goofy and Donald said.
"Hi, Sora."
"Hi, Kairi," sighed Sora.
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's eat!" Sakura announced.
Everyone took a large bite of the cooked breakfast.
"Eh? Umm, Mimiru, not to be rude or anything, but this is really bad! It
has not spices, no seasoning!"
"Maybe not to you, Sakura," Mimiru replied.
"Well excuse me! So I have very different tastes!"
"What do the rest of you think?"
"It's okay," mostly everyone responded.
"I would love to see you cook, Sakura," Cloud said sarcastically.
"I will! Tonight I'll cook your everyday Spanish meal. I just have to go to
the market."
Mimiru shook her head and told Sakura, "Just don't make it too spicy. They
might not be able to take it like you can, Sakura."
"Yes, that's all fine and dandy. I promise not to make it spicy."
"Let's go out to the marketplace after ten today," Aeris told the girls.
"We can get the spices and you can meet a special friend of ours."
"Fine, but if you want to eat late, that's fine by me."
They did not realize who Aeris was talking about. Sora looked at her and
understood. Sakura was about to learn from the greatest magician which ever
lived: Merlin.

Kenshin: Miss Kaoru doses have bad cooking. That she dose.
Sakura: yep.
Mimiru: I agree.
Ryo: whaaaaaaaa.
Ed: whats wrong.
Ryo: my cookie is gone!
Sakura: more cookies! Come on Cloud bake those cookies.
Cloud: that should be what your doing!
Sakura: oh well.
