Chapter Nine: Of Clothes and Red Heads
In the tree house, we managed to find three good sized back packs and loaded each one with anything we could think of, making sure that Riku's was the heaviest, after all, he was the MAN and women are weak anyway. Let him carry it all. Before we knew it, Riku came back and told us that everything was fine for the moment, but we still needed to set off as quickly as possible. You know, just in case something unexpected happened. He has a good philosophy of being prepared, that little character trait REALLY needs to rub off on me.
A small rapping was heard at the door, and Riku opens it quirking an eyebrow, but then his face lightens up as he sees who it is. "Tidus!" he exclaims.
I lean over to Courtney, "Who the hell is Tidus?"
"Someone you didn't get to meet when you were still asleep." She says to me.
I look over at the boy who walks in. He looks about 12 or so, damn he's gonna be a looker when he gets older... Bonde hair, blue eyes... er, yeah. What is WRONG with me?! Are guys all I think about now, or WHAT?! Damn, I'm starting to turn into "them", the giggly girls who have crushes up the wazoo. Next thing you know I'll be a slut, just you wait!
Around this time I notice that Tidus is carrying something into the house and is tossing it onto the table. Three packages and a big bag... Wonder what those are? Riku walks over and picks them up, then tears into them, pulling out three outfits.
"Perfect, and just in time! Thanks Tidus, and tell your mom thanks too." He says and Tidus makes a quick escape, sayin' something about playing Blitz Ball with Wakka.
"Um... Question? Uh... What're those?" I ask.
"Dumb, blind and deaf, gee Katie, you're losing it." Courtney snorts. I shoot her a look.
"They're new clothes, for our journey." Riku explains. He tosses one to me, then one to Courtney, who seems quiet excited about hers.
"How do I know these are gonna fit?" I ask.
"Oh, we measured you while you were asleep too." Courtney answers.
My face flushes, "YOU DID WHAT?!"
She chuckles at me, "Don't worry, it was just me and Tidus's mom. Riku didn't see anything."
I glare at the both of them while heading to "my" room. "Better not have." I mumble disapearing behind the door.
When I returned from the room, I felt like a whole new person. Probably because I LOOKED like a whole new person. But don't get me wrong, I'm still me, just a cooler lookin' me. I was wearin' my new get-up, which really wasn't all that bad considering I had no say on the style. Fit me like a charm too, Tidus's mom must be a good sewer.
My out-fit was actually quite out of the ordinary, for "Earthling" standards anyway-- like my blue-jeans and t-shirt-- I had big brown clunker boots that reached up past my ankles and tied like a normal shoe. My shorts were somethin' different, long they were--I like them long anyway--only one leg was longer than the other, the left only went down to just above my knee while the right went a ways below it. Must not be too odd on this world, Tidus was wearing somethin' similar to these. My shirt was normal, just plain white and reached my red shorts. My jacket on the other hand... if you even want to call it a jacket, it just has short sleeves, the sleeves being white while the rest is black, and the collar on this thing is just about the weirdest part... It reaches up my neck and flares out around my shoulders, it also buckels in the front, but like that really matters.
I look up at my two friends, seein' what they thought of the clothing. They don't say anythin' for a while, and I tug nervously at the "x" of belts that cross my backside. "Well?" I look at them curiously. Courtney seems to be critisizing in her head, while Riku looks at me expressionless. What help they are... I roll my eyes and plop down in a chair at the table. "Anyway, it's your turn, baka." I say, while Courtney glares at me.
"If there's anyone here that would be a baka it would be you, my friend." She says as she walks into the room. I stick my tongue out at her as she passes me.
I look over at Riku, who's still lookin' at me. "Hey." I say, he jumps slightly at the sound of my voice. What a dork. "Ain't you gonna get changed too? You're the one who wants to leave asap."
"Oh, right." He mumbles, and heads for his room.
I watch him as he closes the door. Wonder what his clothin's gonna look like? Something that fits his ass well I hope... er... nevermind. I sigh, grabbing a pair of gloves from the pile of three on the table and shoved them on my hands, making my fingers poke through the ends of the fingerless material. Making myself more comfortable I lean back on the two back legs of the chair, propping my feet on the table. I remember how my grandma used to yell at me whenever I did this, always told me I'd end up fallin'.
A person flies through the door at lightening speed, I gasp then feel myself fallin' backwards. Guess grandma was right. CRASH! And I'm lookin' up at the wooden ceilin'... Bummer.
"Riku! Riku?" The girl yells, I look up at her from my position on the floor. She has red hair and blue eyes, kinda small and petite too, I could break her like a toothpick, if I wanted to, good thing for her I'm in a pretty good mood today. "You there! Is Riku already gone?" She askes me. I don't think she even cares that her intrusion caused me to fall. Oh well.
"He's still here." I say, pointing to his room. "But he's kinda..." Oops too late. She barges right into his room, not even thinking to what he could be doin' in there. "...changing at the moment." I say calmly as I hear Riku's shreak, only it was a few octaves higher than usual. I snicker.
"KAIRI!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Riku yells, and I can't help it anymore, I bust out laughing, good thing I'm still on the floor, or I would've fallen for sure. While I'm laughing I miss a good part of the conversation that comes next, I see their mouths moving, but I get nothing from that. Damn, I knew I should've learned how to lip read...
"Riku... take me with you." Kairi states, Riku's eyes about bulge out of his head. I stop laughing, the moments passed anyway. Seems like we got a serious situation on our hands... how boring, let's spice it up alittle. I grin, I knew this new talent of mine would end up coming in handy... Just as I was about to make Riku's life a livin' hell, Courtney comes bustin' out of our room like her ass was on fire, in her new get-up of course.
"What the hell's going on here?" She askes me, cocking an eyebrow at my position on the floor. I suppose I should get up ne? I cock an eyebrow back at her as I take in her clothing. Black trench coat, black knee-high boots, green shirt with a collar like somethin' you'd see in a bad Disco movie, chain belt, and black pants... Yup that's a typical Courtney outfit... How come she gets that and I get THIS?! I think she did this on purpose...
"Well, let's see here..." I say casually putting my hands behind my head. "This girl came barging in, I think her names Kairi, and she made me fall on the floor, she asked me where Riku was and I told her... But she didn't listen to me fully so she just walked in on Riku when he was probably butt-naked." I grin.
"Oh..." Courtney says, scratching her head. "Is that all?" She snorts and heads back to our room.
"Well that's not all... She just asked to come along with us." I add, finally making the attempt to get up.
"WHAT?! There are only so many people we can take with us you know!!" She yells at me. I fall back down.
"Geez, ya ain't gotta take it out on my poor ears now, DO YA?!?" I snarl. Damn that really did hurt. "It's not MY fault."
Courtney gives me a look then turns to look into Riku's room, where Kairi and Riku are watching us fight. Well, I gotta fix this.
"Ok guys, you can comense in freaking out now, it was entertaining." I say, Riku avoids eye contact with me.
"I would like to know what's going on here." Courtney demands. I sigh, didn't I just explain to her the situation?
"Hey you know, if you're that DUMB..." Courtney glares at me and I stop mid-sentence. "Well, I JUST told you didn't I?"
"Yes, but I want to hear it from THEM." She points to the two islanders in the next room. I roll my eyes.
"Fine whatever." I mumble. Sometimes I wonder about her, she never really did listen to me, and if she did, then she'd still want the story from someone else. It's not like I'd LIE to her. Well... maybe I would, but only if she didn't really need to know. PLUS how in the hell does she even know I'm lying? I guess that's why she goes to everyone else, because she CAN'T tell. Hmmm... that could prove to be useful at a later date. Mwahaha.
Meanwhile, Riku and Kairi stare at us in confusion. I see from the corner of my eye Kairi lean over to Riku and whisper something. I manage to catch only a little of what she said: "... are they? Do they act like this all the time?"
Riku looks at her with a knowing smile. "The one on the floor is Katie, and the one yelling at her is her best friend Courtney. And... yes they do act like this all the time."
"Do not!" Courtney and I say at the same time--which happens a lot-- and we glare at each other. I guess she heard about as much of that conversation as I did.
Anyway, I get up, FINALLY, from my position on the floor and walk casually over to Kairi. "Yes, that's correct, my name is Katie Smyth... and this is my baka of a friend C."
I can't see her face, but I feel the back of my head burning from her death glare. "First of all, my name is more than a letter, and second of all, if anyone here is a baka it would be YOU." I stick my toungue out at her.
"What does 'baka' mean?" I hear Kairi say, I'm guessing to Riku. I look over to see Riku shrug.
"I don't know. But they call each other that a lot, so it must be bad."
Courtney turns to Riku with this expression on her face that makes me cringe. Uh-oh, it's Explaination-Time with Courtney Pepmueller. All run for your lives. No, I'm serious, RUN-FOR-YOUR-LIVES! What? You aren't running? Fine, suit yourselves, die for all I care. "'Baka' means moron, idiot, stupid and any other such derogatory names, in Japanese."
Kairi gets this blank expression on her face and turns to Riku, who doesn't know what to say either. "... What's 'Japanese'?" I've got to stop this now, before it goes too far, this could take all day, and we don't have that.
"It's a language that we had on our planet." I say, while Courtney gives me a look.
"I believe that she asked me." She says to me, I look at her and smile.
"Yes, I know, but I answered her."
She remains silent.
Kairi turns back to Riku, "So, can I come with you?"
Riku turns to her, the expression on his face is hard to read, I don't think I've seen that one before. "Kairi... I'm sorry, but if Sora knew that I let you into danger he'd kill me."
The red head looked to the ground. When she looked back up she had a hard look on her face. "So? He told me he'd come back one day... And he still hasn't. I'm worried about him Riku, I need to find him."
Riku sighs and runs his hand through his silver hair, "I'm worried about him too Kairi, but there's nothing that you'll be able to do. Plus we have a crisis on our hands that needs to be taken care of first."
"Which you'll probably need Sora for." Kairi protested.
"True," Riku countered, "But not you."
She remained silent and looked to the ground again. Wow, ok, so this Sora person is someone very special to the both of them... I'd like to meet him sometime. However, as for the current situation... It's too damn gloomy. And if there's anything that I've learned in the past couple of days; gloomy just leads to more gloomy-ness.
"Ok, so here's the plan." I say calmly, everyone looks up at me in surprise from my sudden directness. "We leave, Kairi stays here, and if we run into this Sora on our way, we just send his ass back here! How hard can that be?"
"Hard." Riku states looking at me, I cock an eyebrow. "So many factors can limit anything. Who's to say that we'll really run into Sora? And who's to say that when he finds out whats happened, that he'll really want to come back without solving the problem? That is, to say that he can even COME back, after all, once we enter that door there's no telling if it will remain open long enough for--"
I hold up my hand and cut him off. "Way to go Riku, totally ruin my plan to make her agree with me." He realizes what he did and blushes slightly. Kairi walks away from the both of us and heads over to the only window in the small room. I watch her as--from what I can tell--she looks outside, scanning the landscape of water. Probably thinkin'. I sigh, and walk over to her, ignoring Riku as he grabs at me to get me to stop. I stand beside the small red-haired girl for a moment before I bend over and place my face in my hands and elbows resting on the windowsil. I, too, look out over the landscape before I speak. "Kairi," I say, not waiting for a reply, "I think I might understand how you feel on this situation. But you also need to see it from Riku's perspective. He's just tryin' to do what he thinks is right. And from what I've heard... the last time you were caught up in all of this, you got hurt. So please, just try to understand, he's just doin' this for your own sake." I look up at her as she nods, a tear rolling down her tan cheek.
"I understand. It's... just not fair." She says softly.
I smile up at her. "I've learned a lot of things in life aren't fair, like this outfit for example," I stand up and tug at the shorts, "Why do I get stuck with this, while Courtney is over there in a respectable outfit of HER choice. I had no say, THAT isn't fair." Kairi giggles. I give an exasperated sigh and turn to see Riku comin' out of his room with his new outfit on... Yellow vest that clung to his skin and showed off his muscles well, black leather gloves that he's currently puttin' on, BIG blue bubbly pants that strap at the bottom to his blue and white shoes. I have to stop myself from drooling, so I option to poke fun. "Well..., at least my outfit is better than Riku's." Kairi bursts into a fit of giggles.
Riku looks up at me defiantly. "My outfit is NOT bad. The stuff that you wear on your planet is sooooo much worse. I am very happy that I have some normal clothes on, I couldn't take those "Earth clothes" anymore." I shoot him a glare, and suddenly a pillow flys across the room and hits its target, my HEAD.
"How DARE you three ignore me!!" I hear Courtney say, I calmly remove the pillow from my face and I give her my best death glare.
"How DARE you remind us you're there!!" I yell chucking the pillow at her, unfortunatly she was expecting it so she expertly dodges. I snort in frustration, "And how come I ALWAYS get hit when this was OBVIOUSLY a TEAM effort?!"
"Cuz, you're my best friend." She states.
"And let the punishment REALLY fit the crime." I scowl. She smiles at me.
Author's Notes: Yeah, ok, I know, long time no see. *waits to be pelted with a variety of vegitables* It's been a while, but I finally got the next chapter out, and it's not really my best one...

"How DARE you three ignore me!!" I hear Courtney say, I calmly remove the pillow from my face and I give her my best death glare.
"How DARE you remind us you're there!!" I yell chucking the pillow at her, unfortunatly she was expecting it so she expertly dodges. I snort in frustration, "And how come I ALWAYS get hit when this was OBVIOUSLY a TEAM effort?!"
"Cuz, you're my best friend." She states.
"And let the punishment REALLY fit the crime." I scowl. She smiles at me.
Author's Notes: Yeah, ok, I know, long time no see. *waits to be pelted with a variety of vegitables* It's been a while, but I finally got the next chapter out, and it's not really my best one... But at least it's another chapter. And as for my excuse as to not writing... well, they're measly and unimportant. But all that love this story should be thanking my best friend C, for getting me back on a KH high. Next chapter out... whenever. And if anyone is confused as to the outfits that my characters are wearing, email me and I'll send you a character sketch that I drew, be pateint though, it'll take me a while to get it to you.
