Summary: Xemnas and Ritsuka make cookies together! Yes, you read that absolutely correctly. ♥
the Story:

Cookies. Xemnas wasn’t really one for baking them himself; he was usually too busy writing his latest monologues on Kingdom Hearts, going over the other Nobody’s reports on various worlds, or plotting the destruction of another back at The World That Never Was to do any such thing, but since Ritsuka had offered, he couldn’t – and didn’t really want to – turn the offer down.

Nobodies making cookies. Whatever was the world coming to?

Somewhat helplessly, he turned to Ritsuka, feeling incredibly stupid as he asked, “…so, where exactly do we start?” Hopefully, the fact that the ‘almighty Xemnas’ asking for help with baking cookies wouldn’t go beyond the pair of them – he somewhat trusted the other, after all (and yet quietly hoped he wouldn’t be laughed at too much).

Ritsuka looked up at Xemnas with a look of wonderment in his violet eyes, "You've never made cookies ever?" It seemed the Organization members didn't know how to have fun. Well..Ritsuka could understand that. For awhile before he had gotten to this mansion, he didn't even want to make friends. He missed his old ones back home, but he was surprised at how easy it was to make ones here. Especially unlikely ones. "Well, we have to mix all the ingredients first. Oh! But you haven't told me what kind of cookies you want to make," Ritsuka grabbed the recipie book he used with Saix that had a few cookie recipies in it.

"What kind do you want to bake?" He asked, holding the book up to Xemnas so he could have a better look.

Xemnas chuckled a little at Ritsuka's question, and then shook his head slightly. "No, I haven't. Or at least, if I have, then I have no memory of it." Because I lost all of my memories, he added silently in his head, but said nothing of it to the young boy. Xemnas had never expected to find such a good companion in Ritsuka, but since coming to the mansion, a lot of things seemed to surprise him, so he thought nothing of it.
"What kind of cookies, hm..." he tried to think back and remember what type of cookies the Dusks used to make at the Castle, occasionally taking a brief look at the recipe book that was being held out to him.

"Some simple chocolate chip ones would be nice," Xemnas finally decided, looking to Ritsuka for his approval.

Ritsuka frowned, "You don't remember?" Ritsuka could understand that. It was one of the reasons why he took so many pictures, even though he did'nt want to make a habit of it, he found himself doing so. He had his camera with him today too.

As Xemnas began to think about what he wanted to make, Ritsuka took out the general materials needed to bake all kinds of cookies- the bowls, spoon, measuring cups, flour, etc. "I like those." Ritsuka said, calling from the refridgerator he now was peering into. "Now we just have to get all the ingredients together to mix. Where do you think they keep the chocolate chips?"

Xemnas sighed a little. "When I was younger, I had a near death experience... and with it, I lost all memories of my life up to that point. So, I only remember things after I was taken in and made an apprentice to a..." Foolfoolfool, he thought, "...wise man, by the name of Ansem. Not the Heartless here," he added hastily, "a different one. I assume you have your camera with you?" he asked curiously, rather eager to change the subject.

The Nobody was rather relieved that the cookies were approved by Ritsuka, and at his question at where the chocolate chips would be kept, he started looking around in some of the higher up cupboards. "You too, hmm? They're plain and simple, but. Nice in their simplicity. And as for the chocolate chips, I'm sure they won't be too difficult to find."

Ritsuka's eyes widened in shock. He never met anyone who lost their memory like he had. "I couldn't remember who I was two years ago.." Ansem. He knew an Ansem here, but Xemnas was talking about a different one. "Oh..That's an uncommon name for two people to have.." Ritsuka reached into his pocket and pulled out his camera. "I never leave without it anymore.."

"Did you want me to take a picture of you?" He asked. Usually, he pulled out the camera first before anyone asked him. "It can be the first memory we make." He watched Xemnas search up high where he couldn't reach unless he hopped on the counter. In the meantime, he began to sift the flour and measure the sugar.

Xemnas temporarily stopped his search for the chocolate chips to turn around and look at the younger boy, his eyebrow raising slightly. "You lost your memory as well?" he questioned, also rather surprised that someone else in the mansion had been robbed of their memories like he had. The name comment made him chuckle, however. "There is a very long story behind why they share the same name, but it's a rather boring one," he smiled wryly, and kept looking in the cupboards. "You take photos so you can keep the memories with you forever, am I correct?"

At the question, he turned his head a little to face Ritsuka, all the while still looking for the ingredient they required. "I would... like that," he admitted, making a small noise of triumph as he finally found a sealed container of chocolate chips. Xemnas closed the cupboard doors and turned around with his prize in hand, sliding them across the tabletop to Ritsuka. "While I am here, I would like to make new memories. Making cookies together... is a good way to start," he chuckled.

Ritsuka nodded. "Yes. I had to when I first lost my memory. I didn't want to forget. I couldn't ever do that again.." Ritsuka didn't particulary like to talk about this, but Xemnas understood. Maybe he would also better understand why Ritsuka took so many pictures. "And now, I guess I've fallen back into taking alot of pictures again. I want to show my friends when I get home how it was here."

"Okay," he smiled slightly when the chocolate chips were found. They couldn't make chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. He took the chocolate chips and measured them. "Yes, it's a good memory." He held up the camera. "We should take one with the cookies."

‘Didn’t want to forget… couldn’t ever go through that again…’ like his thoughts concerning memories. “Hm. Well, I completely understand where you’re coming from, if that helps any,” he commented, folding his arms as he observed Ritsuka. “You want to show your friends what it’s like here through photos – so, do you think they’d like it here?” If only he could so easily keep memories of things through photographs – the gaps in his life taunted him; making him wonder if he could take a leaf out of Ritsuka’s book.

He smiled a little at that. “Indeed, we should. This is a nice memory – and I’m learning how to make cookies, it is rather important,” Xemnas remarked, chuckling again. “Oh – I apologise, I haven’t been any help in making them so far. Is there… any way I can help you?”

Ritsuka shook his head, "I don't know. I don't think any of them would mind. I'm not sure how much I mind being here either. There is somebody from my home here, but he hasn't found me yet.." Ritsuka was getting mad at Soubi for taking so long to find him and breaking his promise like that. It wasn't fair. There were only so many places Soubi could be.

"Oh! It's okay, here" He handed him the spoon. "I'll hold the bowl and you mix? Then after we can take a picture."

Xemnas thought about what he had said for a minute. "So, unlike the others that complain about having to reside here, you are sure they wouldn't mind it?" That was a rather nice change from hearing complaints about their current place of residence; it wasn't all that bad here in his own opinion, all weird events and murders aside. "You haven't found each other yet?" he questioned, "How long has he been here for? Surely, locating each other should not be all that difficult?"

"I admit, I feel a little bad standing here letting you do all the work. That sounds like a good idea." He smiled a little, and took the spoon from Ritsuka, doing as instructed.

"He's been here almost as long as I have.." Ritsuka's voice trailed off. Maybe Soubi was hurt, that could be a reason why he hadn't seen him around. Or maybe something was keeping Soubi away from him. He didn't knonw. "What about you? Do you like it here?"

Ritsuka nodded and held the bowl as Xemnas mixed the ingredients until they turned to dough. He reached inside the bowl and grabbed a piece of dough to eat. "It's ready. Now all we have to do is roll the dough into balls and put them on the cookiesheet."

This earned him a slightly surprised look from Xemnas. "How long have you been residing in the mansion for? Surely, you should have found him by now, unless the mansion is playing a part in keeping you from each other." It wasn't a thought he had particularly wanted to voice aloud, especially since Ritsuka probably wouldn't exactly want to think of it being a possibility, but it was going to have to be said sometime, unfortunately. "I am... coping. I tend to find I have more free time than I know what to do with these days; it can be unnerving."

It was strange, this making cookies business, but it was... strangely comforting to the Nobody. He watched Ritsuka take a piece of the dough, half-wondering what it would be like to be a child again, enjoying such simple pleasures, but he pushed the thought from his mind. "That didn't take as long as I thought it would," he commented, following his instructions.

[ooc; hey, I know this really isn't the place to ask you this XD, but just out of curiosity -- did you ever rp at

new_spira? Forgive me if I'm totally wrong, but.]

"I don't know. I think I've been her for a month now. Soubi was suppose to find me in the courtyard, but he never did. I think it's because we aren't connected anymore." Ritsuka fished in his pocket and took out his cellphone Robin had found. It wasn't working and wouldn't turn on. That could be the reason why he couldn't contact Soubi. Usually a Fighter and a Sacrifice were always connected because of their name, but Soubi's name was Beloved and Ritsuka's was Loveless.

"Why don't you find something to do that takes alot of time?"

Finally, when the cookies were in the oven, Ritsuka turned on his camera. "I think you're going to have to take it or I'm going to have to stand on a chair because you're really tall."

[[OOC: Nope. What is that? hehe Sounds FFX like]]
