THE PARTY

A/N: MAH BRAIN WUZ DED! Needed some time to think of a new chapter!

CHAPTER THREE:

"I can't believe you two!" Kairi's shock and amazement wasn't subtle at all.

"Kai, just let me explain-" Riku tried to say before the redhead cut him off with a gasp of horror.

"You two should've known better!" she shrieked, disappointment apparent.

"You seem to forget that one of the effects of alcohol is that it impairs one's better judgment," Yuffie piped up; face red with embarrassment and annoyance.

"That doesn't mean that you should drink yourself shitless and go off getting laid!" Kairi scolded the kleptomaniac, the redhead's voice seemingly drilling holes into the ninja's dignity (or what was left of it, any way).

Riku sighed angrily; he didn't ask for this, nor did he want it. But he knew any other man would just sit back and watch two really hot women go toe-to-toe (he also knew that a select few would go out of their way and charge for pay-per-view).

Then again, Riku wasn't like other men. "Alright, you two, neutral corners." He wedged his hands in between Kairi and Yuffie, pushing the two away as far away from each as he could.

"Yes, Kai, we should've known better, but, as Yuffie said, alcohol impairs one's better judgment. So please, will you two just cut it out?" The silver-haired boy asked, patience wearing thin.

Yuffie blushed slightly; she always thought of Riku as the rough-neck, always thinking with his balls…but this side of him seemed to shatter that image, since he was acting like the mature, sixteen year-old boy he was and not like some brainless hunk.

Kairi, on the other hand, was venomously boring holes into the boy with her blazing blue eyes.

"Watch it, mister. You're treading on thin ice right now…" she warned, voice low.

Riku took his right index finger, tugged lightly on the skin under his right eye, and stuck out his tongue. "Myuah."

(A/N: Yes, Riku is childish.)
