“Sorry I’m late, guys,” Sora announced, shutting the gummi ship’s door behind him. “The palace guard said that they didn't see anything. Did you talk to Yzma?” he asked, then blinked. “Kairi, why are you wearing my clothes?”
Riku, sitting at the small table with his face buried in his folded arms, groaned. Kairi, on the seat next to him, rubbed his back sympathetically and looked up at Sora. “Yes, we had tea with Yzma and her assistant,” she said. “They said that they don’t have any idea where Kuzco might be. They were very nice about it, but I’m pretty sure they were lying to us.”
Sora glanced at Riku, who still hadn’t moved, and back at Kairi. “What’s the matter with Riku? Did something else happen?”
Riku raised his head at that. “Look at her really closely, Sora,” he instructed, indicating Kairi. “Doesn’t she look a little different to you?”
“Riku, it’s not that big a deal,” Kairi protested.
“She looks the same to me,” Sora said, frowning. Kairi sighed and folded her arms across her chest, pulling the shirt tight. It emphasized the flatness of her chest. Sora’s face turned pink, and he quickly looked away. “You’re missing-“
“I’m a boy,” Kairi cut him off. “Don’t ask me how. That’s why I’m wearing your clothes, my dress doesn’t fit properly anymore.”
“Yzma must have put something in the tea,” Riku said, letting his head drop back onto the table. “I should have gone to talk with her alone.”
“Riku, it didn’t hurt me. She might have done something worse if you’d gone alone. And now that Sora’s here, we can all go together and have her change me back, then find out what they know about the emperor. No harm done.” Kairi smiled at them.
“Unless she decides to turn us all into girls,” Riku muttered darkly.
Sora laughed nervously and laced his hands behind his head. “You’re still mad about that last world, huh?” he asked. “I don’t see why, it was kind of funny.”
Kairi sighed and watched Riku chase Sora out of the ship. It had been funny when they realized, after nearly three days there, that Riku was wearing a woman’s kimono, but it would take the older boy some time to get over the embarrassment. At least he hadn't actually turned into a girl, she thought to herself, following the boys out of the ship and herding them back towards the palace. He'd never come out of his room if he had.
She really, really hoped that Yzma could change her back. She loved Sora and Riku dearly, and had tried to keep up with them for most of their lives, but this was going too far. It would also be rather hard to explain to everyone back home, especially her parents. Sorry, Father, I accidently became a boy while on vacation with Sora and Riku! Selphie’s reaction might be worth it, though.
Looking on the bright side, she supposed it could have been worse than turning into a boy. What if Yzma had turned her into a llama or something?
