Disclaimer: Yep, still do not own Kingdom Hearts or anything like it. I have no brownies at the moment either.
ckc: Okay, so I mentioned this in my 'BloodLust' fanfic in chappie two and it's been nagging at the back of my brain since. So, here it is. And all of those little one shots that have been nagging will also be added.
Anyways, this fic will contain no pairings and much Org. XIII madness…. Sort of. It will resemble a fic. Much insaness and fun brownie goodness ahead. No Yaoi or pairing of any sort.
The Brownie Incident
As Axel neared the kitchen he knew something was wrong. Call it intuition, male instincts, or just plain common sense; he knew that a pack of members sprawled about at the entrance of the Organization's kitchen meant that something was terrible, horrible, and indescribably wrong.
The red-head made a beeline for Roxas, the young Nobody sitting against the wall with a bored, yet impatient, expression stamped on his face.
"Hey, what's everyone standing out here for? Xaldin didn't tear up the kitchen again, did he?" Axel asked. The Whirlwind Lancer made a noise of indignation at this but didn't move from his spot directly in front of the door.
"We're waiting," answered Roxas.
"Well, duh. For what?"
The blonde was about to retort angrily when a loud exclamation came from inside the kitchen. It was then silent as the door remained closed.
"What the heck was that?"
"Demyx."
Axel snorted. The Melodious Nocturne was not what you would call a remarkable cook. He managed to make toast, cold cereal, and water in a glass with ease. Why he had barricaded himself in the kitchen was beyond the Flurry's comprehension.
"I found him early this morning gathering all sorts of things up in there," Xigbar explained from behind Xaldin. "As soon as I came in the boy shoved me out shouting about some secret thing he was working on."
"So, you're all here, why?" asked the red-head looking around at the ten other members scattered about in front of the white-washed door.
"I'm rather interested in what the Nocturne is planning to make," Luxord said.
"Hungry," groaned Roxas.
The Savage Nymph's response was very different from the earlier Nobody's answers.
"I want to see his face when the kitchen burst into flames, blows apart, or any combination of the above," Larxene sneered.
The Flurry shrugged, running a gloved hand through his unkempt hair. Come to think of it he was hungry too. Without a thought he pushed past the other Nobodies, ignoring their protests. He would just run in and grab something to appease his empty stomach for the minute. What he didn't notice was the sound of footsteps from the other side of the door and the giant slab of wood swinging straight at his face.
"Finished!"
Hair askew, face smudged with brown streaks, Demyx burst out of the kitchen holding a pan and positively beaming. Axel, a bruise now forming on his forehead, growled and was about to whack the Melodious Nocturne over the head when he saw, and smelled, what the boy had been cooking.
Brownies.
Dark brown slabs of chocolate flavored goodness were stacked on the plate, chocolate oozing from each piece. And boy did they smell good.
"See, I thought that everyone needed a pick up after our last assignment," Demyx explained as the Organization gathered around him eyeing the brownies hungrily. "And there was this one recipe I've been trying to remember so I finally finished them! Although, the kitchen might need some repairing."
"Yes, yes, yes. We thank and you worked hard. Now give us the brownies!" Saix ordered.
Demyx quieted, not wishing to anger the Berserker, relented. "Okay, but only one each. These are kind of strong-"
He was lost amid the crowd that stampeded to snatch a brownie, almost being buried beneath the many arms and shoving bodies. Finally, he came up, the plate still stacked high with chocolate flavored treats and proceeded to make a portal, muttering about giving one to the Superior who was the only one not present.
For a minute it was silent as the Nobodies snacked on the brownies. They were so warm and gooey, every mouthful a wonderland of tasty chocolate goodness. Whatever the Nocturne had done had been done right. These were the best things the Organization had eaten since….. Forever.
Once everyone had finished their delightful chocolate snack they stared at each other. And they were all thinking the same thing.
Must. Have. More. Brownies.
"Alright, listen up people," Xigbar commanded, the eleven Nobodies gathering around him in a mock-huddle. "The kid will be back in his room in a few minutes. We need to ambush him there. Axel and Roxas, you two will be the distraction."
The two Nobodies jumped to attention and saluted the higher ranking Nobody.
"Accompanying them will be Larxene, Marluxia, Saix, Vexen, and Lexaeus. Your job will be to get the brownies away from Demyx. And finally Zexion, Xaldin, and I will take those brownies to the Library and we will all rendezvous there. Everyone got that? Dismissed!"
And with that the group dispersed, their only thoughts on getting one more bite of Demyx-made Brownies.
The Melodious Nocturne was happy. Who cared that Xemnas said that they didn't have hearts? He had done something right for once, putting all of his blood, sweat, and tears (metaphorically speaking) into these brownies. So, he was happy. And content. And, for some reason, feeling that something was not quite right… oh well.
He rounded a corner leading to his room and, unexpectedly, came face to faces with Axel and Roxas.
"Hey there Demyx! What's the best Melodious Nocturne doing here?" Axel questioned, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Behind him, Roxas slapped a hand to his forehead, not willing to believe that Axel was really that obvious.
"This is where my room is," answered Demyx. "Which I kinda need to get to, so-"
He tried to walk around the two Nobodies but stopped as they side-stepped in front of him.
Roxas smiled at his superior. "Don't you want to hang around outside for a while?"
With a sigh, the Nocturne rolled his eyes, still clenching the plate of brownies. "Alright guys. Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
Axel was about to answer yes until Roxas elbowed him in the ribs. "We don't know what you're talking abo-"
"No, you cannot have any more brownies," Demyx said sharply. "These are extremely dangerous. If you eat more than one a day there are serious side effects that will effect you for the rest of your life. No. More."
"But can't we at least share one?" asked Roxas. He put on his best puppy face, big blue eyes and all. Nobody could resist the puppy face.
Pause. "No."
Nobody except Demyx apparently. Roxas huffed and glared at the taller man. "You just try and get by us."
The Nocturne shrugged. "Okay then."
"Get him!!"
A mob of Nobodies suddenly sprang around the corner and Demyx was almost knocked to the floor as they swarmed around him, trying to steal his brownies. He fought them off, avoiding Larxene's kunais and the hulking form of Lexaeus. His brownies must be protected at any costs! Demyx slid between some Nobody's legs and got up to run when a black streak swept across his vision.
And then suddenly, the brownies were gone.
The massive horde of Organization XIII froze. There was no plate of chocolate wonderland in any of their hands. There were no brownies anywhere.
"Who took the them?"
Everybody looked at each other as Demyx asked this question, the Nocturne's mood turning foul. When everybody shook their heads he summoned his sitar and shook it in their faces threateningly.
"If all of you don't fess up I am going to-"
"Xigbar!"
The group watched as Zexion and Xaldin ran out of a portal looking angry and out of breath.
"We can't find him!" Zexion confessed.
"What?"
Xaldin explained. "We were all suppose to meet up in the Library but he disappeared and now we can't find him."
The Organization murmured among themselves for a minute. Xigbar? Disappeared? Library? What could that mean? And then Luxord spoke up.
"Did you check his room?"
"Um…. No." said Zexion.
Everybody was silent, a murderous aura enveloping the room. Somebody was going to pay.
"Mmm, that kid sure can bake," said Xigbar as he finished off his third brownie.
After the other Nobodies had disappeared he had teleported himself into the middle of the fight in the hallway. In a split second he had snatched the plate away from the unsuspecting Nobody and warped into his room. Currently he was resting on his bed with the plate next to him, a content smile on his scarred face, although he didn't quite feel right. There was something close to a tingle that was spreading from his stomach and moving steadily upwards.
A smile which quickly disappeared as his door flew past his head, imbedding itself in the wall.
And standing in the open doorway was a pack of blood-thirsty Nobodies led by an angry Demyx. With a roar the eleven incensed people lunged at the Freeshooter, grabbing him so that he could not escape, all of them muttering about what they would do to the chocolate-stealer. Demyx took back his brownies from Xigbar's grasp, glaring down at the man.
"And now you shall pay for your crime," Demyx hissed.
At once Xigbar was covered in the angry Nobodies, each of them howling to pummel to man into his newly vacuumed carpet. His screams could be heard from every corner of the Castle That Never Was. Even the Dusks, though their minds were weak, could tell that this was a fight they did not want to get caught up in.
His former smile back on his face, the Melodious Nocturne strolled out of Number II's room letting his companions torture Xigbar in whatever way they wanted. He once again had his plate of brownies in hand. With a sigh he strolled down the hall and summoned a portal that would lead him to the girl Namine's room. She would just love a bite of chocolaty goodness!
And so, the Nobodies learned, from the injuries they inflicted on Xigbar, to never, ever, EVER take Demyx's brownies. They also learned that after eating four brownies, as the Freeshooter did, one will start to spout off horribly deep secrets that one has kept to one's self for many years.
The moral of the story: Never let Demyx cook again. The kitchen will need renovations afterwards.
ckc: Yep, another chappie completed! Hooray! I hope everyone enjoyed the Brownie Incident. I will update on BloodLust and DL:SG soon. (writer's block is very painful) And it's almost Spring Break so I'll have time to write.
Kouru: I want brownies now.
ckc: But I can't cook brownies! I can only make chocolate-chip cookies! It's true. My fastest time for making 4 dozen cookies is 1 hour and 10 minutes. Hoozah! I figured out that if I just make the dough one night and then bake the cookies the next morning, I can have 48 warm cookies ready before I have to go to Seminary in the morning….. Okay, way off topic.
Demyx: Please review! We all love reviews so very much! They make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
ckc: All flames will be given to Demyx to extinguish with his awesome kul water skillz. SKILLZ!
