A/N: Sorry it's so late, but whatever, it's up now. Also I FINALLY figured out how to get the accent on Naminé's name, so I'll be fixing that soon in other chapters as well. Oh, and also, 85 on that nasty final :D. ugh, i hate earth science. But it's over now so yay. Thanks evryone for the revews and wishing me luck! Enjoy the chapter.)
"Well, what now?" Asked Naminé.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm still bored." said Zexion irritated.
"You won't be bored…when you are brought down by XBOB! THE MOST-"
"SHUT UP! I mean seriously do you ever stop talking?!"
"…Fine, be that way…"
"Roxas! I'm hungry." Shouted Axel
"…And what would you like me to do about it."
"Feed me."
"What am I, your mom?!"
"Yes."
"WHAT THE HELLS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
"I'm hungry too." Said Naminé sheepishly.
"Do you want me to get you something?"
"WHAT ABOUT ME?!"
"…Anyway, I'm hungry as well." Said Xaldin.
"Superior, everyone's hungry…Superior?"
"Hey, where'd he go?"
.:Else where:.
Somewhere far away from the 9 remaining Organization XIII members (and Xbob and Naminé) was there leader standing on a platform, the highest point in the castle. He stood and stared, fixated, on the heart shaped moon above him. His face turned into a slight smile, and then a grin.
"This…is fun."
.:Back:.
"He's lost it."
"I second that! Well I guess we're on our own." Shouted Axel annoyingly.
"We should cook something." Said Zexion.
They all looked at him. "You mean you should cook something." they said in unison.
"… Why is it everyone thinks I'm such a great cook?!"
"Because the rest of us are incompetent?" The repeated in unison again.
"That's getting creepy…" Xbob stated.
"What about Vexen?! He's a scientist! Food is kind of like science, right?!"
Vexen looked up from mixing two chemicals together in a water bottle.
"And what about Marluxia!? He grows all kinds of fruits and vegetables and spices and crap!"
Marluxia looked up from petting a flower.
"Axel you could cook just about anything!"
Axel looked up from lighting an oblivious Roxas' foot on fire. "Or burn it!"
"And Roxas, Axel is lighting your foot on fire."
Roxas kicked Axel.
"So why can't you do it!?"
They all looked at each other.
.:Kitchen:.
"This is so not what I meant."
Axel, Vexen, Marluxia, and Zexion all stood in the kitchen of empty cabinets (that never were), preparing to make some lunch. The room wasn't very large, but it was long. About one fourth of the room was a wooden table with five chairs. Roxas, Luxord, Xaldin, Lexaeus, and Saïx each sat in one of the chairs. The rest was walls lined with stoves and cutting boards, cabinets, and a fridge, microwave…everything needed and a plain island counter in the center.
"Well, like you said! We can all cook stuff because of our special talents, so, that's what we'll do!" Said Marluxia in a pink apron.
"And with all those books you read, there has to be one cook book." Said Vexen in an apron that said 'Kiss the cook.'
Um, ew.
"I really don't know why I'm here, I'll just burn everything. I already burned my apron." Said Axel in an, indeed, burnt apron.
"Yeah, I still don't get how you managed that…" Said Zexion in his respective plain white professional looking chef's apron. "But, none the less, I do have a cook book." He said as a rather large book fell from thin air and plopped into his hand. Although he mistook the exact weight and went down with the book. Pulling himself and the book up, he slammed the heavy mess down with a loud bang on the counter. "But I still don't get why you two want to help."
"Well, cooking is an art form." Said Naminé in a simple white apron
"I AM THE GREATEST AT EVERYTHING!" Shouted Xbob not in an apron at all.
"…Right well lets make this…thing…oh my god…"
"What?" Asked Axel.
"It's…well if Rachel Ray says so…"
"What?!" He repeated.
"Okay, Vexen, take these ingredients and make whatever the hell this is." He ordered handing him a list of ingredients and instructions. "Axel, crush this bag of potato chips."
"…What?"
"Just do it. Okay now, Naminé and Xbob, cut up this ham."
"YES SIR!"
"And Marluxia! Get white bread, grated cheese, and cut up some bananas."
They all stared at him extremely confused and slightly scared by the last few instructions.
"…Just do it! Hurry up!"
They each went to their respective corners and began work. Naminé and Xbob went into the fridge and pulled out a package of square shaped, condensed and processed ham.
"…Um, do I even want to know why you have this in your fridge?"
"Xbob, I don't even want to know." She carried the meat to a cutting board and plopped it down. She stared at it. It stared back…somehow."…So, now what?"
"Um, we cut it?" Said Xbob with a 'Duh' tone.
The blond girl scratched her head. "How is that like art?"
"It's not, it's like hacking at the flesh and meat of a dead animal."
Naminé suddenly looked extremely uneasy. "I think I'm going to be sick…"
"NOT ON THE MEAT!" He said pushing her away. She tumbled over to Roxas and fell on her back at his feet. He looked down.
"You okay?!"
She sat up, frowned and deadpanned, "Never better. I think I'm going to be sick."
"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!" They all stopped and stared at Xbob who was laughing menially. Then, for reasons nobody really understood, he jumped up on the counter and started laughing crazily. He ripped off his shirt and coat and started randomly hacking at the meat into little bits and pieces with a meat cleaver, laughing like a psychopath the whole time. Finally, he put his arms up and screamed, "THIS HAM JUST GOT POWND!" He threw the meat cleaver at the wall and I narrowly missed hacking off Axel's nose. There was a very long, awkward pause while Everyone stared horrified at Xbob, who was breathing heavily with an angry look still up-top the counter.
"You are one sick son of a bitch." Roxas said narrowing his eyes at the crazed thirteen year old.
He blinked. "Why?"
"…Sit down." Said Roxas sternly. Xbob mumbled angrily under his breath but obeyed and sat on the floor under the table cross legged staring at the wall. There were a few worried/confused/freaked out looks but they were ignored.
Over by Vexen's side of the kitchen, he poured some eggs in a bowl. Then he poured a select few other liquids in it. Now mind you, being a scientist made for a good cook. A cook is someone who experiments with different foods to create delicious treats and yummy meals. And of course, both know when to follow the recipe. Now, the main difference between a chef and a scientist (especially one who works with dangerous chemicals) is most of what a scientists makes may not be edible. But that's not the problem, oh no no no. The problem is, the difference between Vexen and a scientist is, Vexen doesn't know when to follow the recipe, and ALL of what he makes isn't edible.
The elder man took a second look at the recipe which, so far, he had followed perfectly. Then after a few minutes of looking at the mixture, then the recipe, then the mixture, then the recipe, and so on and so forth, he pulled from out of his black cloak a small vile of liquid and threw it in the mixture (he threw the vile in too, which was made of glass) and continued stirring as inconspicuously as possible.
.:Path Mark:.
"Grated cheese…grated cheese…Why on earth would they need bananas?" The brown(pink) haired man said scanning the shelf for the item. Unfortunately, he had never actually gone shopping before, and usually just sent his underling Dusks to do the task. Due to the 'Darkness Dreams Recruitment' agency's union, all Nobodies, Heartless, and for some reason evil flying monkeys, get every other Monday off. The 'Darkness Dreams Recruitment', or DDR, was the sole reason Marluxia had to perform this task, and was also the reason he was looking for cheese in the bread isle. After getting distracted by some 'little Debby' cakes for a few minutes, until he read the ingredients and concluded to get the hell away from the horrible place as fast as possible, he realized he needed bread. So he went off to the cheese isle in search of bread.
After arriving at the isle, he noticed a mother and small child walk down the isle. He ignored them, but the child stared. After a few moments he caught on and glared at the child.
"What are you staring at?!"
"Hey mister, why do you look so funny?"
"TOMMY! Don't say that! Sorry ma'am" And with that she pulled the child off in another direction. The Brown(pink) haired nobody shrugged and went about his business. Suddenly he snapped his head up.
"Wait, did she just call me 'Ma'am?!'"
.:Kitchen That Never Was:.
Back with our ever growing group of not-chefs, Axel sat down with the group.
"Hey, I thought you were killing a bag of potato chips." Commented the ever observant Xbob.
"I am."
There was a pause.
"Did you finish?" Asked Naminé.
"Nope."
Pause.
"When are you going to do it?" Asked Saix.
"Right now."
Long pause.
"Well?" Said Xbob.
He pointed to the bag of potato chips under his foot.
"…I don't care what it is, I'm not eating it."
"What, they are still in the bag."
"They've been under your foot!"
"Which has a very clean boot over it."
"I don't care, they have now been on the floor. That's bad. That's unsanitary."
"You're one to talk! Your in nothing but a pair of jeans, mittens, and snow boots! What the hell happened to your shirt?!"
"…Oh, yeah." He picked up his shirt and long coat and went off. "Wait…where's the bathroom?"
"Down the hall."
"Right." And off he went.
"Well the chips are crushed. I'll go see how Marluxia's doing."
.:Path Mark:.
"…That is a very large banana…"
"Excuse me?" Snapped a man standing behind Marluxia picking out some broccoli. The Brown(pink) haired nobody picked up a banana.
"The bananas. They're very big."
"Oh." He responded walking off, abandoning his broccoli.
"Um…okay?" He then continued rummaging through for the best banana he could find. Until, that is he felt a tap on his shoulder. "What?!"
"Boo."
"Ah ha, very funny Axel, you can quote the game."
Axel frowned. "What's taking you so long?"
"Well I was looking for a banana when I got distracted by these melons, and-"
"Okay, I'm going to stop you right there. Please tell me you're talking about fruit."
"Yes, what else would I be talking about?"
"…Nothing…"
"Excuse me Mr. Pink Hair?"
They both looked down. "Who's the kid?"
"You again?! What is it?!"
"Why is your hair pink?"
"It's not pink! It's brown."
"It is so pink." Said Axel.
"No, it's brown-ish light red."
"Which is pink."
"OKAY FINE! IT'S PINK-ISH BROWN! OKAY?!"
"Okay, okay, fine!" He said putting his hands up defensively.
"GOOD!"
"Are you done fighting?" Asked the little boy.
"Yes. Now leave."
"Are you anorexic Mr. Red Hair?"
"Yes. And he's on steroids, and Roxas get's weird around sugar. Zexion can indeed cook, Xemnas is obsessive compulsive, and despite popular belief every last one of us is straight. Except of course for Mr. Pink Hair."
"IT'S PINK-ISH BROWN! And I'm not gay!"
"Don't be afraid to be your true self, Mr. Pink Hair." Said the little boy. Axel Snickered.
"Yeah, Mr. Pink Hair. You should Show your true colors." He then couldn't contain himself and broke down into hysterical laughter.
"SHUT UP! Look we need to get the stuff and get out of here. I think we should also grab some melons though…"
"Excuse me?!" Shouted a lady from a few feet away.
"FRUIT! THE FRUIT! I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FRUIT! GOD! WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE."
"Well Mr. Pink Hair…" Began the little boy. "You fit the description of the basic psycho path. Because of this, you also fit the description of a sex offender and, because of your odd hair, a homosexual. Leading the good people of this Path Mark to believe you are saying things that are inappropriate."
"…"
"Well, it looks like the writers going for the cheap jokes because she's running out of ideas."
"Looks like it."
.:Kitchen That Never Was:.
"We're back!"
"Yay." Deadpanned a majority of the kitchen.
"We brought the bananas, and cheese, and the, um…whatever just cook it." Marluxia said tossing the bag.
Zexion caught the bag "Is there a melon in here?"
"IT'S FRUIT, OKAY?!" He shouted storming off.
"…Okay, what's his problem?"
Axel shrugged.
.:Later:.
"Okay! Lunch is served!"
Before each or the Organization members was the strangest looking thing they had ever seen. Staring with bits of white bread, covered by sliced ham, sprinkled in sliced banana, over which was a layer of grated cheese, then some bacon bits, and finally, crushed potato ships. The bread was all soaked, so one could only assume the batter like concoction made by Vexen was what it was soaked in. For awhile it was merely stared at.
"What the hell?"
"Axel it's not that bad."
"Yes it is, it's…"
"…"
"…Fine then! You eat it!"
"…Saix doesn't this look great?"
Saix stared at it for a moment. Finally he put a fork in it and took a large chunk and bit down. There was a crunch, but not a potato chip crunch, or even a bacon crunch. It was the kind of crunch you hear when…
"I think I just chewed on glass."
"…Glass?"
"Yes." He said with a very calm and straight face. "And something wet came out of it. And it mixed with the blood."
"…I-I'm not hungry." Said Naminé pushing away her plate.
"Okay, now, what are the immediate side effect of the liquid that was in the glass?" asked Vexen.
"My tongue is numb." Saix continued calmly.
"And?"
"I can't see anything."
Vexen looked surprised. "Really? It was supposed to make you def, not blind."
"What?!"
"How interesting."
"VEXEN! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!"
"…Shut up Zexion, I'm busy."
"WHAT DID YOU PUT IN HIS FOOD!"
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
"What are you all saying I can't hear you." said Saix in a calm but unintentionally loud voice. The three began shouting at each and continued on like this for quite some time.
"…Maybe we should just leave." Axel whispered. And away they walked and, once out of sight, they ran.
(A/N: Wow slow update, no? Sorry about that but it's up now so, yay. Just to help you out, so far we've lost Demyx, Xigbar, Xemnas, Larxene, Saix, Marluxia, Zexion, and Vexen. Oh and Xbob went off to put his shirt back on and will pop back up next chapter. That leaves us with: Axel, Roxas, Naminé, Xbob, Xaldin, Lexaeus, and Luxord. We lost a lot of people this chapter and I thinm one of them should come back so, how about I let you guys vote on that. Anyway, review review! Till next time!)
