Author's notes: Oooh!! Six! - enjoy! Oh, I'm sorry if people think I'm bashing Kairi. It wasn't on purpose!! It's just that I don't really like her that much. Just a tiny little bit…. But not that much..
--------------------------------
Chapter 6: Kairi has a plan
"I'm Kairi Heartilly, and I'm Riku's girlfriend!!" Kairi stated, glaring at Sora the whole time.
Sora and Riku's eyes opened wide. "You're what?!" They both exclaimed in unison, both horrified.
"You heard me." Kairi said.
"Have you lost your mind, Kairi?!" Riku quickly asked.
Kairi tried to pout, but settled for just a sad look directed at Riku. "But, but, we've always been together! It's only natural that we should be together! Besides, we should please the ones that said this in the first place!"
"Kairi, it's an island. A small island, mind you. Of course we know each other! You live in the same street as I do! And I highly disagree that we should 'be together' as you say. We're just friends, Kairi, nothing more, nothing less. Think about that." Riku said.
"Oh, you're so shy, Riku." Kairi giggled, then quickly noticed the lunchboxes. "Oh? You brought me lunch? How sweet!" She grabbed the top one.
"Hey! That's mine!" Sora quickly argued. "Yuffie made it for me."
"Too late!" Kairi said in a singsong tone, while holding the lunch box close to her chest.
"Kairi, give Sora's lunch back." Riku growled.
Kairi simply stuck out her tongue at him. "No way! This is her punishment for hogging you all to herself! I won't give it back until she gives you back to me."
"I was never yours, Kairi! So leave Sora out of this!"
"No!" she stubbornly replied, and then quickly ran off the store with Sora's lunch.
"There goes my lunch." Sora sighed, getting comfortable while Riku still held him.
"She'll be back. But don't worry. You can share my lunch, since I doubt she'll return yours."
"Won't that leave you a bit hungry?"
Riku grinned. "Not exactly."
Sora tilted his head. "What do you mean?"
Riku bent down, and placed a soft kiss on Sora's forehead. "Don't worry about it."
Sora pouted, but didn't say anything. He eventually fell asleep and was only woken up with Riku's soft movement and some endless chatter.
"Riku?" Sora asked, still a bit asleep.
Riku looked down at his lap where Sora's head now was. "Keep on sleeping, I'll wake you up when Raku's lunch hour is over."
Sora 'hmmm'-ed, and close his eyes. His nap was cut short by (once again) Kairi, who had come back a bit after the school's lunch hour was over.
"Riku! I demand to know who this stranger is!" she exclaimed. Funny how she hadn't even noticed Sora was a stranger until almost two hours later.
At this, Sora opened his eyes and sat up, and stretched. Then he looked at Riku, giving a soft yawn. Riku smiled at Sora and petted him. He was already getting to know Sora, and he didn't mind giving the almost stranger boy some affection. After all, Sora was too adorable not to give affection to. Unfortunately, this sweet little moment was ruined by Kairi (once again), Riku practically wanting to strangle her.
"Riku! Hello, I'm talking here!" Kairi called. "Are you ignoring me? Because if you're ignoring me, you have another thing coming!"
Riku sighed. "No, I'm not ignoring you, Kairi." Although I would love to, he silently added.
Sora watched how Kairi aimlessly rambled, while still holding his lunch box prisoner. That reminded Sora that he hadn't eaten lunch yet. "Riku, I'm hungry."
Kairi's ramble stopped, as she turned to grin at Sora. She didn't notice Riku opening his lunch box, until she saw Riku feeding Sora, then eating something while Sora chewed.
"Hey, newkid, I have your lunch here!" Kairi taunted.
Sora smiled at her. "It's okay. You can have it."
Riku grabbed Sora's chin and turned him to look at him so he could feed Sora some more. This irritated Kairi to no end.
"Will you stop that?! It's annoying to see you feed some new kid like if she was a baby." Kairi growled.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Riku said in mock apology. "Are you jealous, perhaps?"
"What?! I am not jealous of her! Not at all!" she screamed, then stomped her way out the store, Sora's lunch still captive in her hands.
"I doubt we've seen the last of her." Riku muttered, feeding another spoonful to Sora.
Meanwhile, Kairi angrily headed towards Riku's house. She needed some help with this little problem, and she knew just the person to help her. Kairi softly rang the doorbell, and waited for a response.
"Coming! Coming!" was heard from the house, before the door opened, revealing Yuffie with an apron. "Oh! Kairi! What a surprise. What are you doing here? Riku's not home right now. He's at Raku's Break Spot, helping out Caroline like he usually does at this hour."
"I know that. I just came from there."
Yuffie quickly noticed the lunch box in Kairi's arms. "Hey, that lunch box…"
"This? It belongs to Riku's little girlfriend. Some new kid that just suddenly showed up at the store." Kairi said, handing Yuffie the lunch box. "Do whatever you want with it. I already ate it anyway."
"You ate Sora's lunch? But if you ate it, what did Sora eat?"
"That little tramp! Riku shared his lunch with her! Can you believe it?!" Kairi stomped her right foot on the porch.
Yuffie sighed and sat on the porch with Kairi. "Well, I can believe it since you took Sora's lunch in the end. After I worked so hard to make it too."
"You made it? I thought Riku made it!"
"Riku doesn't even cook his own lunch, so I highly doubt he'll make some for his new best friend."
"Wait, best friend? Aren't they boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Boyfriend and girlfriend? With Sora? Are you crazy?" Yuffie asked. She thinks Sora's a girl… but that could be good in a way! Yuffie thought.
"Why do you say that? Haven't you seen that they practically eat each other up when no one's looking?"
"Not really. I've seen Riku eating Sora up with his eyes, but that's about it." Yuffie giggled. "Sora's too cute to think of things like that."
Kairi crossed her arms angrily. She couldn't believe Yuffie was siding with Sora. "So, does this mean that you approve of that relationship? I mean, you practically know nothing of this girl." Kairi said, then grinned. Sora's new to the island, right? Then that means, she could spread rumors about Sora, and make everyone thing twice before speaking to him (her in Kairi's mind). "I mean, you never know. She might be a very cunning person. She's probably interested in making our sweet and gullible Riku into her slave, then make him dirt poor and dump him for someone else. You never know." Kairi repeated.
"Naw. Sora's not like that. Sora and Sion are really nice people. They live close, so I know." Yuffie smiled. She knew what Kairi was up to. "You should get to know them better." She stood. "Anyway, I need to get back in the kitchen. Mom asked me to do a special dinner tonight, and I'm supposedly behind schedule already."
Yuffie waved goodbye at Kairi and went back in the house, closing the door. Kairi frowned. She wanted Yuffie to help her since she was Riku's cousin and all.
"I need to think of… that's it!" Kairi softly exclaimed. She ran out of the porch and down the street. She knew exactly who could help her. Her old friend, Selphie.
