Summary: Kairi spends some quality time with her newfound friend, Ritsuka in the kitchens. :)
the Story:

"Is it really this hard to find a bowl?" Kairi questioned as her pale hands moved haphazardly in one of the cabinets. She pushed aside plates, strainers, and pots which clashed together making it seem as if a loud ruckus was going on in the kitchen.

"Mann...." She sighed and rose off her knees to a stand. The redhead slammed the cabinet shut with contempt and leaned on the countertop with her elbows propped up and her chin in the palm of one of her hands. "I was hoping to bake a cake for Ritsuka while we were in here..." She mumbled and scanned the room for another idea.

"Let's check the fridge." Kairi wandered over to the tin box filled with frozen and cold goods, opened the door and poked her head inside. Her eyes searched around. "Maybe a fruit salad...hmm." Well if one thing was for sure, Kairi wanted to create a dish for her new friend to welcome him, whether she could find something or not.

Ritsuka had to ask around to find the kitchen. Even after he had asked numerous people in the mansion, he still managed to get lost a few times and make a few wrong turns. He did, however, find the kitchen.

"This place is so big.." Ristuka said quietly to himself as he entered the kitchen. He saw a girl rustling through cabinets and then the refrigerator. He walked up to her. "Are you Kairi?" Ritsuka wasn't very good at introductions and he was still new to making friends.

Kairi thought she heard a voice and thus lifted her head out of the fridge and looked towards the person addressing her.

"Yep, my name's Kairi. Are you Ritsuka?" She asked with a cheery grin. She shut the refrigerator door and faced him full front with an extent of her hand.

"It's nice to meet you in person!"

"I am." Ritsuka gave Kairi a small smile back. She sort of reminded him of Yuiko, but less eccentric. He looked at Kairi's hand before realizing that he should shake it. Extending his own he shook her hand. "Yea," it was nice to know she existed. "What were you looking for?"

Kairi made a sidelong glance towards the fridge and smiled. "Oh, I was just thinking of whipping something up while we were in here. But I can't find anything."

She looked back at him, her face still in a s mile. "Are you hungry? I'll be happy to fix you something."

Ritsuka put a hand on his stomach. His ears drooped when his stomach gave a low growl. He hadn't eaten since he got here because he couldn't find the kitchen. "I am. That's nice of you..I can help though if you want."

Kairi opened the fridge door with a yank and felt the cold waft out. "Do you have a preference? I guess it's around dinnertime right now so we'll have to make an entreé." She reached an arm inside and pulled out a tomato, looked over it over and returned in to its spot.

Ritsuka began to search for pots and pans to cook in as well as some utensils. Everything was out of place in the kitchen. He found a knife in a cabinet and a small bowl in a drawer. No one ever really asked Ritsuka what he wanted to eat. "I guess..whatever you want." He brought the bowls and knife he found and set them on the counter beside the fridge.

Kairi smiled at the friendly atmosphere when she saw out of the corner of her eye that Ritsuka had joined the search for supplies as well. She knew that she couldn't make anything extravagant for him to eat such as a four-course dinner, but she could settle on something a little nice.

"How does...hmm...pasta, breadsticks, and salad sound?" She suggested. It was a lot to prepare, but at least she had an extra pair of hands. There was a recipe for spaghetti held deep in the recesses of her memory that she remembered her late grandmother cooking. She would use that recipe at her expense.

Assuming, or hoping, that there would be no objections, Kairi pulled out a block of cheese, salad greens, butter, and ground beef from the freezer portion of the refrigerator. She wasn't sure if that was all that was needed, but knew that it would have to work for now. Next thing they would have to do was hunt around for some dry ingredients.

Ritsuka started to wash the salad greens carefully before drying them off with a towel he found. "That sounds good, I've never had breadsticks before.." Ritsuka watched Kairi begin working on the rest of the dinner, he gave her a smile. He was beginning to feel welcomed at the mansion. Even if he would only just make one or two friends here, he would be content with that.

After washing the greens, he began to cut slices of tomato to put ontop of the salad. "Do you cook alot for your friends back home?" Ritsuka was even feeling more talkative today.

"Really? Well then, I hope your enjoy your very first breadsticks!" Kairi commented stooping low and digging through a cabinet filled with dried noodles, olive oil, salt, flour, tomato paste, garlic powder, italian seasonings, and oregano. She pulled out each little jar filled with spices to go into the sauce and the pasta. Kairi set the spices aside and settled on making the breadsticks first.

"It'll take a long time to make breadsticks from scratch, so we'll have to use premade dough." She wandered back over to the fridge and reached inside, pulled her arm out with a package of refrigerated bread dough in her hand and reached her other hand to grab an egg. It didn't daunt on her to be able to find everything in the kitchen; this mansion after all was pretty weird. She ripped into the package, separated pieces of dough, and rolled them into long, thick log-shapes. She dabbed some butter and olive oil and put the dough pieces onto the pan. The oven still needed to be preheated, so she set the oven on and worked now on the sauce. She put the ground meat, tomato paste, oregano, and italian spices combined in a pot. Next went in the egg she pulled out earlier.

"Oh! We'll need an onion too..." She said and ran back to the fridge while the pot of ingredients cooked. Kairi halted for a moment at the fridge when Ritsuka questioned if she prepared dishes for her friends. "Hmm...no not really. I mean, I know how to cook the fish we catch on the beach and bake desserts, but that's all I really did for the guys." She shrugged her shoulders and stole an onion from the fridge.

Ritsuka never cooked before, so once he was done with the salad he decided to set the table. Oddly enough, while Ritsuka was thinking of setting the table, the plates, glasses, and silverware appeared on their own. Ritsuka's eyes widened. He had never seen anything like this before. He bent down and looked under the table, he even ran a hand across the bottom of it. "Kairi..what's wrong with the table?"

He looked over at the girl who was cooking up a storm. In a way, he was reminded of that day Yuiko invited him and Soubi over to her house and Soubi made them food. It was the best food Ritsuka ever tasted. A small frown matched the discomfort he was feeling when he thought of Soubi and if he was ever going to find him.
