A/N: Well... here's the next installment! I know it's up really fast, but I just feel like writing for some reason. So here I am with a new chapter.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks

Sora stared. He and his friends had met up at the mall like usual on Friday. But something was different today. Today Riku had brought with him a goth chick. Occasionally you would see Riku bringing a girl with him that he met who-knows-where to their get-togethers, but never did he bring a goth chick. The girls Riku brought were always as preppy as could be. That's why his jaw was cracking the floor as was his girlfriend Kairi's.

"Riku... who the hell is that?" he asked.

The girl in question put her delicate hands on her thin, but curvaceous hips in protest.

"Who the hell am I? Who the hell are you to talk about me like I'm some piece of trash you bastard?" she snarled.

He was taken aback. This girl had a spine! Damn... no one had showed any signs of a backbone towards him a long time... Well that was going to change right here, right now.

"He's not a bastard! He was just asking Riku who you were you whore!" Kairi yelled.

Uh oh... Apparently she didn't like being called a whore...

"A whore am I? Well at least I'm not desperate for attention like you, you prissy little bitch," she snapped.

"I am not a..."

Sora put a hand on Kairi's shoulder.

"This is getting nowhere Kai, let's handle this calmly and rationally," he said slowly.

"Yes. Please calm down guys. I know what you're thinking but it's not what you think," Riku said over everyone else.

"Yuffie here is new and a friend of mine asked me to show her around so I'd appreciate it if you guys would be nice to her even though Kairi's already ruined that by calling her what she did."

The group gave him a weird look. Riku had to show someone around? Since when would he agree to do that? As far as they knew Riku didn't do favors for anybody except for those closest to him. It must have been someone extremely close for him to agree to show around a gothic chick. Nods went around the large group of friends that had gathered here for the traditional Friday mall excursion. A girl with brown hair that flipped out to sides and green eyes hopped up to Yuffie and held out her hand.

"Hi Yuffie! My name's Selphie! It's good to meet you!" she squealed.

Yuffie nodded and shook Selphie's hand.

"It's good to meet you too."

Selphie hopped up and down, grabbed Yuffie's hand, and ran off towards a cluster of stores, dragging the poor girl behind her. They didn't stop until they reached the restrooms which were located behind a little place called Café la Rouge. One inside the restroom Yuffie was shoved against the wall by Selphie.

"So Yuffie why are here with Riku huh? You do realize that once he's done with you he'll drop you like a fly and run off with someone else right?"

Yuffie's indigo eyes narrowed as she looked at the preppy girl known as Selphie.

"What makes you think that I'm with Riku at all?" she asked.

"Hunny, Riku doesn't bring just any girl to mall with him. Only his sex toys get to come with him."

Yuffie started laughing. She was laughing so hard that tears streamed from her eyes and she was doing all she could to hold herself up. Selphie stared at her with eyes wide and let go of her causing the black haired teen to fall on the floor. The girl continued to laugh and laugh until Selphie screamed at her to stop.

"What's so fucking funny!"

"It's just that... you... think I'm Riku's sex toy?"

"You'd have to be! Why else would you have come with him?"

"Se-Selphie, Riku is my ro-cousin! It was either go with him to the mall or be stuck in my apartment all day. I chose the one where I wasn't bored out of my mind. He and I have nothing together! I mean seriously! Eww!"

She gave Yuffie a look.

"You're his cousin? He didn't say anything about a cousin moving to town," she pouted.

"Things got a bit out of hand at home and I had to move rather suddenly," Yuffie replied calmly. "Now are we done here? I'd actually like to get some shopping done. I didn't come here to be harassed by a bunch of preps."

Selphie looked at her feet and fiddled with the hem of her yellow shirt.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to – I mean I just saw you with him and thought..." she trailed off.

"S'okay! I'm one tough bitch, but even I have the heart to give someone who made a stupid mistake a second chance. But if you ever say something like that to me ever again I'll beat your ass to a bloody pulp. Got that?"

Selphie nodded.

They walked out of the bathroom but Selphie stopped in front of the entrance to Café la Rouge.

"Hey Yuffie? Care for some coffee? My treat?"

Yuffie nodded to her. "Sure. Why the hell not?"

They laughed like friends who had known each other forever and walked in the doors.

Back with Riku and the rest of the group there were bets going on.

"I say that Selphie beats her and Yuffie gives up and goes home like the scared little gothic girl that she is!" said a female voice that was most definitely Kairi.

Sora, who stood next to her shook his head and said, "I don't think so Kai. That Yuffie girl is tough. I don't think that Selphie will be able to break her."

A tall guy with long red hair that was pulled back in a ponytail and a nondescript cowboy hat looked at Sora with distaste.

"My Selphie can beat down any chick no matter what. Don' dis my girlfriend man. It ain't cool," he drawled.

An attractive girl with green hair pulled up in a high ponytail stood in front of him.

"Irvine Kinneas! How dare you say she's your girlfriend! I'm your girlfriend!" she yelled.

"I didn't mean it like that Terra! She's a girl and she's my friend see? Girlfriend in that sense not the way you're thinking Terry-muhgirl. You most certainly are my girlfriend in that sense."

As if to prove his point, Irvine leaned down and caught Terra in a deep kiss. A couple groans were heard from the back of the cloud of people as well as a couple choking noises.

About ten minutes later the hubbub had died down and they were all waiting anxiously for either Selphie or Yuffie to come back. According to Cloud, one of the only seniors in the group, whichever girl made it back with the least bruises would get to stay in "the group" with the rest of them. Twenty minutes later they still weren't back and people started breaking off to go shopping since that is what they originally came here for.

Riku broke off and started heading towards where Selphie had initially run off with Yuffie. He passed by a café and the girls restrooms. He kept walking till he saw a familiar head of brown hair in a punk store. He covered his face from the throng of oncoming people and took a dive into the store. If he was caught in here he would be dead, dead, dead. He would be stripped of his title of the Prince and thrown out amongst the "regulars". Ugh. This day could not get any worse. He walked up behind Selphie quietly and opened his mouth to speak about loyalty to the clan and the rule about NOT going into to punk and gothic stores, but the sight at hand caused him to shut it just as quickly.

Selphie had changed out of her preppy yellow t shirt and flare jeans into something no popular person would ever be seen wearing in the light of day or the dead of night. She was wearing a faint yellow bohemian looking shirt made of a satiny material that ended about six inches above her navel with bell sleeves; a black, leather miniskirt like the one Yuffie was wearing, and dark lace up half-calf boots. To top it off she had a silver post with yellow balls on the ends through her navel and two extra sets of earrings in newly gotten piercings.

'When did she get those?' and 'What the fucking hell?' were the two first thoughts that crossed Riku's mind in that instant. But all goods things, like Riku's shock and silence, must come to an end. That happened at this precise moment.

"Selphie! What the hell are you wearing? And when did you get those... those piercings?" He screeched.

Almost everyone in the store turned to look at him. He shrank back a bit and glanced around nervously. Selphie and Yuffie turned to face him, each with varying shades of anger and irritation etched on their faces.

"Riku," Yuffie snarled viciously, "we were enjoying our shopping trip. Who cares what she wears? They're just clothes. I don't think anyone here cares what people wear except you so go away."

"Yeah Riku! I happen to like what I'm wearing right now and where I got these piercings is none of your business! Go fuck yourself!" Selphie screamed.

By now even people outside the store were staring so Riku made a beeline for the door and got out of there as fast as he could.

Several hours later, after Riku and most everybody else had gone home, Selphie and Yuffie exited the last store that appealed to them and started heading to the exits with their purchases. Selphie stopped in front of the restroom nearest the exit.

"I'll be right out Yuffie," she said to her new friend.

Yuffie nodded and leaned against the wall next to the ladies room door. A shadow overcame her not a second later. She looked up to see none other than the supposed 'leader' himself.

"Hey Sora! What's crackin'?" she asked with a grin.

Judging by his expression this guy would be extremely fun to annoy. She locked that little tidbit of information away for later moments when she could use that to her advantage.

He frowned. "Don't talk to me as if you know me you bitch. I don't know how you got Selphie to be friends with you, but I'm not taking any shit from you in school. Take this as a warning. If you do anything at all to mess the rest of this year up for me and my friends I'll make your life a living hell."

He walked off out of sight and Yuffie stood up. Selphie came out a couple minutes later and picked up her bags. They walked out of the mall and headed towards the bus stop.

Yuffie turned to Selphie and smirked.

"Hey Selph, I love guys who think they have power. You know why?"

"No... Why Yuffie?"

"Because it's the most fun thing in the world to knock them off their high-horses," she said getting on the bus.

Selphie grinned and joined her.

Yuffie was gonna teach Sora a thing or two about power...

A/N: Ok... um... this chapter kinda just wrote itself... I sat down and wrote it all in one go... I know parts of it aren't all that great but I think that the over-all product was pretty decent. So tell me what you think!

So... Sora isn't too keen on Yuffie and most of Riku's friends are mad at him for bringing a gothic chick to their "Friday get-together". Selphie switched sides after that embarrassing bathroom incident and also thinks that Riku is Yuffie's cousin... Wow... I managed to mess everything up between everybody huh?

Before anybody says anything, I realize that Kairi's little fit was a bit spontaneous, but let's just say that she really hates people who dress goth and punk. She's a bit of a bitch in this fic... well okay she's a major bitch in this fic, so anybody who is a massive Kairi fan and can't stand even the slightest bit of Kairi bashing might not want to read some of the later chapters... Cuz there's gonna be a whole bunch of Kai-bashing after the plot thickens. Oh and yes... Irvine is dating Terra from FFVI... Well with that said I bid you goodbye and hope that you enjoyed!

(PS: I'm too lazy to reply to reviews right now. I'll cover that next chapter when there are more to reply to.)

Next chapter: Yuffie's first day at her new school! Hopefully she doesn't burn this one down...
