Sup!=D
So sorry for the late update, I've been quite busy lately and everything's a mess=.= My room turned into a rubbish dump in just 2 days...Aish...
Anyhow! This is a lovely suggestion from 'Rinatsu' ! Great suggestion, so thank you! Many thanks to 'Mockingjay Rose' who Beta-eds this story for me!XD
Let's roll!
...a Cook...
"You there! Go clean the pots! And you," gestured the head chef at Xanxus, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, "Go and cook some broth!"
"Don't order me around, trash," grumbled Xanxus, as he pushed himself off the wall. He began putting on a chef's hat and tying up his apron, "Why some stupid broth? What about steak, potatoes, meat and steak stew?" He strode over to a large pot that was prepared for him and frowned. How the hell do you make broth?
Who knows, Xanxus? Just let your chef instincts take over and you'll be fine...I think.
"How's it goin' there buddy?" grinned a fellow chef, who forcefully grabbed Xanxus's hands and started hand-shaking them, "Know how ta' make a broth there, bro?"
Xanxus hastily retracted his hands from the chef and growled, "What the hell do you think? I'm not hired here for nothing." The other chef smiled and nodded, and then walked away with a wave. Xanxus rubbed his temples and sighed. He could cook and grill steak, as well as make steak pies and steak stew, but hey, just how the hell do you make some ordinary broth? "Guess I'll have to call someone..." Xanxus slipped into the men's bathroom and took out his mobile. He scrolled through his list of contacts and hesitantly dialled a number.
"The mobile you have just called is switched off. Please try again lat-"
"Damnit!" Xanxus cursed impatiently, "Guess I'll just have to do it the hard way..."
Ring Ring!
Ring Ring!
Rin-
Click.

"VOOOOOII! What the hell do you-"
"Shut up, shitty shark. Let me talk to Lussuria...now." hissed the Mafia Boss.
"B-Boss..?" spluttered his second-in-command, before running off the fetch their Sun Guardian. Xanxus heard him leave and instead of going to Lussuria, he screamed at the top of his lungs that their boss wanted to have a word with him. Xanxus leaned against the wall and sulked when he heard the Prince's signature laugh. Oh boy...this phone call was going to take a while...
"Ushishishi~ What do we have here, Boss?" greeted Bel, "Oh, Lussuria's here~"
"B-Boss? Did you want to speak to me, Mou?~" asked a very excited Lussuria, who was clutching tightly onto the phone.
"How the fuck do you make broth?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well, you just add-"
"VOOII! WHAT KIND OF STUPID QUESTION IS THAT? YOU JUST ADD ANYTHING THAT PLEASES YOU AND MIX THEM TOGETHER!" shrieked Squalo, trying to snatch the phone off Lussuria, "Add anything you li-"
"Add some lime, oranges and passion-fruit into the broth, Boss! It always helps the flavour, Ushis-"cut in Bel, only to be interrupted by...
"No, Boss. Bel-senpai was wrong, you see. All you have to do and grab some stupid fake Prince and boil him till-"
"What was that, Ushishishi~" threatened Bel. The sound of knives being thrown was just audible. Xanxus sighed. Does a freaking phone call always turn into a massacre every bloody time?
"VOII! DON'T INTERRUPT ME, TRASHES!"
Suddenly, the phone was in Levi's hands, who just couldn't hold his excitement in anymore, "BOSS! I haven't seen you in ages! If you want to make some decent broth, all you need is ME! I will gladly assist you and will make your broth the No.1 in the-"
"Mou!~ That is wrong! Xanxus dear, can you hear me? All you need is a lot of soy sauce and water, alright? It adds to the flavour and the colou-"
Click.
Xanxus had the urge to crush his mobile to pieces, but quickly restrained himself. He needed the damn thing after all, but not as much as he needed Vodka. 'No alcoholic drinks permitted in the kitchen at all costs.' Damn this. The Mafia Boss strolled out and stood in front of the pot once again.
'Add anything that pleases you'
He grabbed 10 kilograms of steak and chicken drum-sticks from the freezer and threw it into the pot, as well as potatoes and some minced meat.
'Add some lime, oranges and passion-fruit into the broth'
Xanxus looked around for some limes, but came back with lemons instead. I hope this will do... He also snatched a half-eaten apple from one of the chefs and some whipped cream. "Might as well make a shitty fruit salad..." he mumbled, whilst adding 5 litres of ice-cream, some oranges and a few stale-looking passionfruit in the pot, "It is anything I like after all..."
Yep, great going Squalo. Some very vague information you gave there.
'Grab some stupid fake Prince and boil him'
"Where the heck do I find that?" roared Xanxus, observing his surroundings, "Something that looks like a stupid fake Prince..." Nothing came to mind, and the kitchen didn't provide much help either. I'll just leave that till last...
'Add a lot of soy sauce and water'
He wasted no time. Soon enough, Xanxus was pouring kilolitre after kilolitres of water, mixed with soy sauce into the large pot. The poor pot looked like it was up to its limit. "There," stepped back Xanxus, who was admiring his wonderful work of art.
The art of making 'broth'.
He peered into the pot and stared. Isn't broth supposed to be...brown? Why is this freaking broth...yellow? "Damnit, this is so annoying...just who the hell am I cooking for anyway? Some scum who wants some stupid broth, give me a damn break!" snarled Xanxus, as he made his way to the fridge and took out some pavlova, meringues, 3 cans of whipped cream and another 10 kilograms of steak. How will steak help to lighten the colour, Xanxus? "This will have to work..." He was putting everything into the 'broth' and was just about to stir it, when something caught the corner of his eye.
'Grab some stupid fake Prince and boil him'
"I've got you," Xanxus smirked bitterly. He walked carefully towards it, "…you stupid fake Son-of-a-Prince."
"Hey buddy! Whoa...I heard that you finished your broth, dude! Good on ya'!" laughed the chef from before. Xanxus ignored him and walked away, but the chef still followed him.
"What was the last ingredient you put in, bro? I heard that it made some kind of shrieking sound," the curious chef asked, "Like you were killing an animal, dude!"
"..."
"Well?"
"..."
"C'mon man! Tell me! What's the secret ingredient ye-"
"A mink."
"Well well! Good on you! Your broth seems great, except that there was a slight tinge of red. It looked like blood! But hey! A little blood is good, sometimes, haha!" grinned the head-chef, patting Xanxus on the back, "I'm sure the president will love it!"
