So here's part two! Yay! Hope ya like it! Please review!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day Axel put his plan into action. He had bribed Zexion into morphing himself into a Dusk and follow Xemnas around. In exchange Axel had given up his favorite manga book, but he figured it was either the book or his sanity.

Zexion, in the form of a Dusk, followed Xemnas around for quite some time. Just when he was getting fed up and nearly quit his job, Xemnas ordered hi to go to a certain place with a certain stash of food.

Zexion followed Xemnas' directions, which led him to a cellar he had never seen before.

After returning to Xemnas Zexion reported to Axel, somewhat happy and somewhat burning with rage for having to disguise himself as a Dusk.

After telling Axel where the cellar was, Zemnas retreated to his room to read his new manga.

"Roxas!" Axel ran down the North Hall, where the bedrooms were, and literally ran into Roxas.

"Huh? Oh! Roxas!" Axel shook his head.

"Yeah… and if you keep doing that I won't be here for long," Roxas rubbed his head.

"I'll work on it," Axel said quickly. "But that's not important. Zexion found the food!"

"Zexion?" Roxas stopped rybbing his temples.

"I convinced him to turn himself into a Dusk and follow Xemnas around," Axel looked proud of himself.

"But… Zexion?!" Roxas couldn't believe his ears. Zexion wouldn't do something that stupid to save his life. As we heard earlier, Roxas knew Axel wasn't the most normal Nobody. But this was just unthinkably weird. Roxas decided it was this new diet. It was doing weird things to people. Most weren't even eating. Xigbar hadn't come out of his room for an entire day. Marluxia had neglected the garden. Luxord had lost ten poker games to Xaldin. And now Axel. Axel hadn't eaten since the diet started. Not only was he growing incredibly insane(r), but you think he was thin before?! You probably get the picture.

"Axel, tell me you're lying," Roxas said.

"Why would I lie about this?!" Axel exclaimed, just in time for Demyx to peep out of his bedroom.

"Lie about what?" he asked.

"Nothing! I didn't lie about anything," Axel said quickly. He was still pretty mad at Demyx, though he couldn't quite remember why. Apparently this lack of eating was doing more to Axel than we thought.

"He said he found the f-" Roxas began to let the cat out of the bag, but Axel covered his mouth with a gloved hand.

"What Roxas is trying to say is that he found the door out…" Axel said, "…for you."

"Door doesn't begin with 'f'," Demyx stated.

"Gooooood. You're not as dumb as you look," Axel said, still covering Roxas' mouth.

By this time Roxas had had enough and decided (and dared) to bite Axel's hand. Fortunately it did little damage through the glove, but it was enough to get Axel to let go.

"What the heck was that for?!" Axel shouted, clutching his hand.

"For attempt of murder," Roxas said.

"Hey! Did you find the food, Axel?" Demyx asked, looking incredibly hopeful.

"If he did would he be in this state?" Roxas joked, receiving a stare-down from Axel.

"So I'll take that as a no," Demyx's smile faded.

Axel crossed his arms and pouted like a child, and Roxas decided to take a different approach.

"After all," he said, "Axel could never figure out where Xemnas stored anything. Xemnas is just too clever."

Axel shot up. "Hey! I did too find where Xemnas is hiding out source of life!" he shot.

Roxas grinned. Reverse psychology. Worked every time.

"Really?!" Demyx's eyes lit up. "Where is it?!"

Axel suddenly realized he had revealed a crucial piece of information to Demyx, and he was now wide-eyed and cursing himself inside.

Nearly an hour later Axel was leading Roxas and, much to Axel's regret, Demyx to the cellar. They were creeping along slowly, stealthily, cautiously, and… loudly.

"Get off my foot!"

"I'm not on your foot!"

"Dude, back off!"

"Shut up or so help me I will tie you both to chairs and burn you like the toast I burnt yesterday!"

As you can see, it was anything but a quiet quest.

At last the trio reached the cellar. Axel flung open the doors (rather dramatically), and heaven was revealed to them. They immediately began snatching food off the shelves, avoiding every organic or sugar-free item in site, and stuffing it in bags.

"Do you think we can get out of here and to wherever you're gunna hide it without Xemnas seeing?" Demyx asked Axel.

"Yeah…" Roxas turned to Axel, "And where are you planning on keeping it?"

"Relax!" Axel said. "I'm makin' this up as I go along."

"That's reassuring…" Roxas sighed.

"Shut up and do your job," Axel hissed.

Soon enough they had filled the sacks and were dragging them out of the cellar. It wasn't an easy task, since the sacks now weighed probably 200 pounds each. And somehow they managed to make it to Axel's room unseen. That's what confused them. There didn't seem to be anyone around.

"Was there supposed to be something going on today?" Roxas asked.

Axel thought for a minute. "Well," he finally said, "I know Marluxia's hamster died yesterday."

"Huh?!" Roxas couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Marluxia wanted to have a funeral for it," Axel smirked.

"Ooooh!" Demyx understood. "Everyone was probably dragged to his garden for a funeral!"

"Poor guys…" Axel said under his breath.

"They're probably gunna kill us when they realize we weren't there," Roxas said.

"Let's hurry up and hide this so we can sneak into the garden," Axel said, grabbing his bag of food.

"Where do you want it?" Demyx huffed. Like I said, the bags weren't exactly light.

"In here," Axel motioned toward his closet.

"Axel, you're an idiot. That's all I have to say," Roxas dropped the bag.

"Why do you say that?" Axel glared at his friend.

"Because I already told you Xemnas' Dusk henchmen search everywhere for stuff that shouldn't be there," Roxas explained.

"Not in there, they won't," Axel threw the sack of food inside the closet.

"What makes you so sure?" Demyx wondered.

"Never have, never will," Axel said, clapping his hands together once. "I don't keep anything in there, so they've never bothered searching it."

Roxas and Demyx looked around the room. It was so messy they couldn't see the floor. That certainly explained things.

Demyx and Roxas stashed away their food as well, and they were off to the 'funeral'.

"Shoudn't we wear black or something?" Demyx asked.

Axel and Roxas stared at the musician in disbelief. Finally Roxas grabbed a piece of his black cloak to make his point.

The trio entered the garden just as the funeral was closing.

"Honeysuckle… we'll miss you," Marluxia sniffed, and placed a flower on his hamster's grave.

There was silence for ten seconds; Axel, Roxas, and Demyx stood in the back.

Finally the silence was broken. "Anyone for poker?" Luxord ask loudly.

"You're on!" Xigbar shouted.

Marluxia stood in disbelief that everyone had such little respect for the dead.

"Don't take it so hard," axel smirked.

Marluxia glared at him. "Where were you?" he demanded.

"Where was I?" Axel pretended to look surprised.

"You and Roxas and Demyx weren't here until a minute ago," Marluxia said. "You can't fool me."

"Relax," Axel said. "While we were missing your little funeral we found the answer to our hunger problems."

"You found it?" Marluxia's eyes grew wide.

"Got that right," Axel said.

"So my work paid off after all," said a nearly monotone voice from behind.

Axel spun around to see Zexion.

"You bet it did," Axel said, who was joined by Roxas.

"We have enough food to hold us all over until we convince Xemnas his plan is retarded," Roxas beamed.

"What was that?" another voice said, which caused the four to freeze.

"Oh, uh… hey Xemnas!" Roxas smiled nervously. "We were just talking about what a shame Marluxia's loss is."

"Hmph…" Xemnas grumbled, but decided not to push it. He exited the garden and returned to his daily routine.

Axel and Roxas sighed with relief.

"Alright," Axel said, rubbing his hands together, "Roxas, you get everyone together and tell 'em we're in business."

Later that day Axel was expecting everyone to come one at a time to grab some food and go, as to not draw attention. But it was not to be so. Not with all those starving Nobodies around.

Axel waved his arms frantically. "This is not what I said to do!" he shouted over the noise of the crowd.

His shouts were ignored. By now most everyone was had pretty much lost it. Within minutes the food was gone, along with nine members of the Organization.

Axel, Roxas, and Demyx stood there just staring out the door blankly.

"I hate Xemnas," Demyx finally said.

Axel and Roxas nodded, still mystified.

"Well, aren't you gunna do something?!" Demyx shouted.

Axel shook his head back and forth to say "no", and Roxas suddently snapped out of his trance. He grabbed his friend's shoulders and shook him violently.

"We just worked at getting the giant sacks of edible food, risking our lives, and now you want to quit?!" he screamed.

Axel was quite shaken up (literally), but still stared blankly. Roxas had never seen his friend in this state before, and it scared him.

Without warning, Demyx let loose a jet of water right into Axel's face. Yes, Demyx dared to do the unthinkable. It would have been better to spray Larxene, or even Xemnas himself. But with Axel being a pyro and all, well, it just wasn't a good idea. Demyx wasn't sure if it would bring him back to his senses, get him really mad, or just melt him. Fortunately and unfortunately, it did the first two.

Axel towered over Demyx, all in a rage and fists clenched together, with flames erupting from them. Demyx let out an "EEP" and cowered below the short-tempered Nobody.

Just when it looked like Demyx was going to be a pile of ashes with a pair of eyes real soon, Xemnas entered the room. What he saw was a very wet Axel standing over Demyx with flaming fists, Demyx looking a lot like a scared puppy, and Roxas yanking on Axel's cloak in an attempt to stop the death sentence. Of course Xemnas had no idea as to why any of this was happening.

"Would someone explain to me what's going on?!" Xemnas thundered.

Axel quickly let the flames die and switched to an "I'm-the-most-innocent-Nobody-in-the-world" look. Roxas let go of Axel's cloak, but Demyx looked exactly the same.

"Well?!" Xemnas demanded.

This triggered Demyx's childish side (which didn't require much change of attitude) and lunged down onto his knees before Xemnas, hands folded, enormous puppy-eyes brimming with tears.

"Oh, please, Xemnas!" he sobbed. "Can't you see we can't take it anymore? If you don't stop soon we'll die! Or at least go completely insane… Don't you see how everyone's acting?!"

Xemnas was completely puzzled now. In fact, he didn't see any change in Demyx. But he recalled the activity of the rest of Organization XIII. The only problem was that he couldn't put his finger on why the heck it was all happening.

"Get up,' Axel hissed at Demyx, yanking him up by the hood.

Demyx sniffed. "But it's out only chance, Axel!" he cried.

"Doesn't mean you have to put on your Shakespeare," Roxas mumbled.

"You still haven't told me what's going on here," Xemnas said.

"What's Demyx here is tryin' to say," Axel said, "Is that this little thing you call a 'healthy diet' is having the opposite affect on all twelve of us."

Xemnas was silent for quite some time. The other three grew impatient. Just when Axel was about to shout something that certainly would have gotten him in trouble at Xemnas, the Superior Nobody finally spoke.

"But how could eating healthy foods do such a thing to a Nobody?" Xemnas asked nobody particular.

"After a lifetime of nothing but junk food something like that does stuff to ya," Roxas shrugged.

Xemnas thought again, but this time not as long. The other three looked so hopeful that anyone could have sworn their eyes were shining.

"Very well," Xemnas sighed in defeat, "I will restore your usual meals as of tonight." And with that he turned and left the room.

"Well, Demyx," Axel smirked, "Who's the pro?"

Demyx said nothing. Instead he passed out and hit the floor… hard.
