Kairi practically jumped out of her skin, well not literally but she certainly fell over in comic fashion. Looking up to the roof, which she failed to look to in her last look over, she caught sight of the familiar ninja. Still, instead of hyper ventilating, she laughed. It was a pretty good tactic and it was kinda funny how elaborate Yuffie had gone in order to scare her.
"Okay, okay. You win Yuffie."
She smiled as she laughed some more.

"Well of course I do," came the now normal volume reply. In order to look at the laughing girl on the floor Yuffie had laid herself down across the bed. She rested down on her folded arms at the edge of it's side and gazed down at her friend with a happy smile. "You're a few hundred years away from being able to out-ninja me, Princess."

She eased herself up so she could sit on the bed close to Yuffie. She was still laughing but it was more of a giggle than before. Yuffie's response was expected and while normally disliking the nickname, she aughed it off this time. Once she stopped, she just looked at Yuffie with a smile.
"Okay, so the ninja princess bested me at what she does best. Still, if you don't stay on your toes, I might just surprise you one day."
Her tone taking on a teasing expression, she even winked at the older teen. She was just happy to see Yuffie in general. It would have been nice to see the others as well. Their brief encounter wasn't in the best of circumstances.
"How is everyone and have you see Squall at all?"

"Mr. Leonhart is just fine," Yuffie said, sticking her nose up and looking away to the side with her eyes closed as she called Squall by his last name. Yuffie always treated him that way, not appreciating how he sometimes got in the way of her and Kairi spending time together. She had her usual happy face again when she looked back to Kairi again though.
"Since it's an official visit I managed to convince him to make himself scare for a few minutes. Long enough to play a little game," she explained.

She couldn't help but giggle at Yuffie's antics. Still, Squall taking that break was certainly more of a forced thing. That did give Yuffie the oppertunity to set up for her game though. Oh that's when something caught her attention.
"You said Squall left for only a few minutes, does that mean we won't have as much time together today?"
She looked rather concern, after all being able to send only a few minutes with Yuffie was a bit of a tease. She was just about to ask Yuffie to teach her another ninja trick too!

"Ha! Clean the wax out of your ears and pay attention, Kairi. Like I said, this is an 'official' visit!" Yuffie responded with a wink to the girl. She then forward rolled off of the bed and landed on her feet and behind in a crouched position before using the edge of the bed to pull herself up enough to stand again. Yuffie walked forward to Kairi's dressed and retrieved her yellow scarf, wrapping it around her neck in it's usual manner.
Yuffie simply hummed happily as she did so, apparently content to tease Kairi with only half of an explanation.

Kairi blinked once, then twice. The half-explanation was just all the more confusing. Her left hand cusped her chin in thought for but a moment, before looking over to Yuffie who was busy wrapping her yellow scarf. So what exactly did Yuffie consider to be an official visit? Why was there a differentiation on it this time. Well, time to ask more questions.
"So...what does an 'official' visit entail?"
Kairi had eased herself off the bed at this point, looking over to the Kisaragi with interest.

"Simple!" Yuffie said as she turned around abruptly at the question. She had obviously been waiting for it, if the baiting wasn't proof enough. With a huge grin she put one hand on her hip and pointed the index finger of her other in the air. "You know that everyone in town has been on edge since the whole thing with those whatever-you-call-'ems, right?"

Kairi nodded at her comment. Those "Whatcha-ma-call-its" still had her on edge as well. Her mind briefly recalled the white creature in particular. They were so strange, so mysterious...what did you call such beings.
"They were rather abnormal..."
Kairi admitted, though still not quite knowledgeable about Yuffie's Master plan. She couldn't help but tilt her head, still somewhat lost.
"What can we do?"

"Hehehe," Yuffie giggled at Kairi's question. "What do castle's under attack normally do? They fortify their defences, of course!"
Yuffie's eyes narrowed for a moment as she turned to look at the door to the hall, her lips curled into a smug smile.
"I bet 'Mr. Leonhart' is going to end up with a bigger, harsher training regiment from now on," she said, apparently pleased with the idea of Squall having it rough. "After all, I hear even you lasted longer against the invaders than he did. Who's supposed to protect who?"

What Yuffie said made a great deal of sense, though Kairi was still mostly following along than properly piecing the situation together. When she mentioned Squall's efforts, Kairi almost laughed, stopped herself, then blushed at the fact she almost, ALMOST laughed at Squall's misfortunes. More than likely, Yuffie was twisting the situation a bit and Squall had to fight lots of them all on his own.
She looked away for a moment before recomposing herself.
"So then we're going to...train?"
The word felt somewhat foreign to her, practice was a more natural term. She'd practiced fencing, practiced magic, etc. She had to try the word out once more.
"Train...as in...you and I?"

"Sure, we could do that. Sounds like more fun than training with those stuffy ninjas back home," Yuffie said. She was happy about it, but the tone of her voice suggested that her and Kairi training together wasn't exactly the point she had been leading up to.
Yuffie moved from her position and plopped down on the bed again, this time sitting next to Kairi.
"After all, we'll have lots of time to spend together," she said with a smile.

"Okay Yuffie, what strings did you pull exactly? I mean, I can't imagine seeing you as much as I saw Squall, for example. You'd have to be my guardian for that."
Kairi looked at her, attempting to figure out Yuffie's angle this time. Now that she wasn't being led along, her conscious mind caught up with her. There was more angles she could think through but even then. She'd prefer to hear it from Yuffie either way, something about letting her have the glory or it just sounding more exciting when she said it.
"It'd be great if you were."
She added with a smile.

Yuffie's smile matched Kairi's own. She rose up from the bed with a hop and stood a few feet away from the Princess of Heart.
"Say hello to," she began before twirling around twice on the spot and stopping to face Kairi. Both of her hands were raised up into the air and arching away from her like a Y shape and her right leg moved back farther than her left to strike the pose. "Your brand new..."
Yuffie's pose broke as she brought her hands down low again and held them palm-first closely in front of her. "Secret," she said, making the air-quotes sign with her fingers. She then sprang back out into her previous pose again.
"Ninja bodyguard!"

She coudln't help but clap, before easing herself off the bed. She couldn't contain her excitement so she ran over to Yuffie and gave her a hug.
"This is so cool, it's unbelievable!"
Once she was done with her hug, she looked at Yuffie with curiosity and excitement.
"How did you do it? I mean did Master Ansem say it was okay?"
Of course she had a lot of questions. Kairi usually did when it came to things that she didn't understand, perhaps she got such a streak from Ansem the Wise himself.
