~ A biscuit for Raven ~

"Did you hear it, Xiggi ??? According to Axel we have finally found the one chosen by the Keyblade!", Demyx slumped down on a sofa in the dark room with a satisfied smile: "I hope Xemnas is happy now, all the work in the last Days almost killed me! "
Yawning, he stretched out his arms while Xigbar just sat there in silence. His gaze wandered around the room empty and without aim.
"Xigbar?"
Demyx waved his hands in front of his colleague's face.
"Earth to Xigbar !!!"
"And he actually has a keyblade?", Marluxia had entered the room, followed by the usual shower of flowers. Xigbar silently blew a petal from his nose. Demyx shrugged his shoulders: "As far as I heard, Axel was sent off this afternoon to look for the chosen one ... I think he found him. In any case, the thing is over and I can relax !! ! "
The blonde sighed happily and folded his arms behind his head.
"... and it won't be long before Kingdom Hearts will be mine," Marluxia whispered.
"Sweet, Pinky! But remember to plan your devilish plans quietly, ... I want my peace now!" Demyx closed his eyes with a loud yawn.
Marluxia just stood there and shook her head.
"And why are you making such a face?", He said to Xigbar: "Normally your stupid grin would kill me now, wouldn't it?"
The black-haired man continued to sit there in silence, then turned his gaze to Marluxia: "Can't you feel it? I could sh-."

"THE COOKIES !!! FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, NOT THE COOKIES !!!"
The two Nobody whirled around while Demyx startled and fell off the sofa.
Still cursing, Vexen appeared out of the darkness, black mist creeping down his legs, but the other three saw immediately what he was upset about. The scientist was holding a small, white-blond boy by the collar, who calmly put a handful of pastries in his mouth.
"Abba einesch I have to lick you.", He smacked his lips: "The pieces somehow taste totally like cardboard!"
"What is THAT doing here?", Vexen snapped.
"Who is that anyway?" Demyx rubbed his aching head.
"I'm Raven!", The little one swallowed: "Axel brought me here."
Xigbar and Marluxia quickly glanced at each other while Demyx snorted: "That should be the bearer of the keyblade? Hey, that's a joke!"
Raven didn't even feel addressed and was just about to put another cookie in his mouth when Vexen grabbed his arm.
"I don't care, NO ONE EATS MY COOKIES !!!"
Raven eyed the hand in which he was holding the pastry angrily. Marluxia folded her arms: "Little one, you can't just ransack our pantry like that!"
Insulted, Raven dropped the cookie, whereupon Vexen let go of it."Listen to me, you bitch!" He growled annoyed: "I may not have a heart anymore, but I definitely have a stomach!"
Xigbar eyed the boy and finally a grin crossed his face.
Demyx had already got up: "All right, then you belong to us?"
The boy shrugged his shoulders: "When I get something to eat, I think I can live with it."
The two grinned at each other.
"Well then, that's really cool! I'm number nine, my name is Demyx."
"Raven? ... Raven, tell me you can't just leave like that!"
Axel suddenly stood behind him. The blonde turned to him: "Hello Axel !!!"
"Xemnas will tear my head off when you're gone.", The young man rolled his eyes.
Vexen's face turned a strange color: "He should do that too! You can't even take care of a child!"
He held the biscuit for the redhead's nose: "You see, this dwarf ate all of me, except for this one!"
"I'm sorry for you!", Waved off Axel and put his hand on Raven's shoulder: "But we have to go now."
With these words he pulled the boy out of the room, who snatched the biscuit from Vexen's hand as he passed.
Just as the two were walking through the archway, Larxene came towards them. With an evil grin she looked at Raven, who winced in shock.
"Who was that?" She wanted to know when she got to Marluxia, Xigbar, Demyx and the still boiling Vexen.
"That's the boy who was chosen by the Keyblade!" Demyx blurted out.
Xigbar gave a small laugh, whereupon Marluxia looked out the window at the dark, starless sky.
"It's not him ..." the assasin stated dryly.
"Yes, he is not 'the boy'. ... but there are more important things for us than light and darkness."

Raven and Axel walked silently side by side through the white corridors of the castle. The little boy was unusually quiet until Axel asked him about it.
Raven bit his lip: "That woman, she scares me."
The redhead laughed out loud: "You mean Larxene? Hehe, you stalk the cookies from Vexen's nose, but are you afraid of number twelve?"
Raven made a face: "Number ??? Tell me, are you numbered somehow?"
Axel scratched his head: "Um, yes! You're right. We are twelve members. Vexen, from whom you stole the biscuits, is number four. Xigbar, the one with the long black hair, number two. Demyx is number nine and me number eight. Marluxia, that's the one with the weird flowers. "
"Oh, is that a man? Guilty!"
"Exactly that one, he's number eleven."
Raven's head was buzzing with so many names and numbers, so he started off by matching the faces with the names. It struck him as strange that people were just given numbers like that.
"As with the seven dwarfs ...", he murmured, whereupon Axel glanced at him: "The seven what?""Uh, nothing!", Raven's hand flicked up to the head. Images switched to his memory, images of another world: "I just have memories of a place in my head that I've been to before. ... I just don't know what I wanted there."
"Well, that's why we're going to Xemnas now. He can certainly tell you who you are and where you come from ..."
They arrived at a white door that Raven hadn't even noticed.
"Well, good luck!", Axel patted him on the shoulder.
Raven turned to him: "I should go in there alone?"
The redhead tilted his head: "Yep, what did you think?"
Raven sighed, however, and what could he fear? He had nothing to lose anyway.

Despite the stealthy door, the room behind it was intimidatingly large. Raven stepped cautiously into the hall as it fell shut behind him. The boy rubbed his cold arms. He was wearing only a short gray and black striped T-shirt and knee-length jeans.
Next to him rose white columns, which, of different heights, formed a circle.
When Raven looked at the ceiling, he realized that it seemed to have no end. Above him was the blackness of a cloudy, starless night.
"Um, hello?", He called carefully: "Um, I think I was invited to tea or something."
He had now reached the center of the room when Raven noticed someone was watching him.
"I was already expecting you."
The boy winced and his skin began to tingle uncomfortably.
"You want to know who you are, don't you?"
Raven shivered and looked up. What he had initially thought to be pillars were actually chairs. Throne was more likely to hit…. And on top of them all, so high up that Raven barely recognized him, sat a man.
"I know who I am!", Raven answered with a firm voice: "But I don't know why I ended up here. I'm looking for something, but I've forgotten my past!"
"Then you don't know who you are. You can't be without a past, just as you can't be without a heart. You are a nobody, a nothing. You never existed and there never will be you."
"Ah yes, ... right, I had to listen to that a few times today.", Raven said: "But for some reason I still feel a little too lively for ... nothing."
The boy heard a faint rustling behind him.
"Your heart has given itself to the darkness, you are what is left. ... an empty shell. What makes it interesting, however, that you have lost all of your memories."
There was a humming sound and Raven felt an energy release that freeze all of his muscles.
"Tell me, Raven. Who are you?"
Then some things happened in quick succession.
A jerk went through Raven's body and made him reflexively raise his left hand. Black matter, similar to Axel's black portal, formed and Raven felt something in his fist, ... the hilt of a sword.Less than a second later, the entire weight of the gun was pulling on his arm and he fell sideways onto the floor. Just at the right moment, because a glowing beam rushed over his head.
With a loud clang and a thud, Raven and the gun landed on cold stone. The blonde stared up at the figure above him, panting.
It was a man, also in a black cloak, with tanned skin and unusually long, white hair, lighter than Ravens. What fascinated him most, however, were his eyes, which glowed down at him in an amber brown-orange, indistinct and cold. In his hands he held two glowing blades, Raven only had to add one and one.
"You ... you wanted to kill me?!?" He shouted angrily.
"I didn't mean to kill you, I just showed you who you are."
With these words, Raven looked for the first time at the gun on his left.
It was a huge black key. Silver ornaments and runes adorned it, and a chain was attached to the white, bone-shaped handle, at the end of which hung a black moon. Raven couldn't get a word out.
"You want to know what happened in your so-called past?" The white-haired man scoffed: "I'll make you a new offer: Build your future. Once you have a new heart and a new life, it will Lose meaning in the past! "
"How on earth can I get a 'new' heart?" Asked Raven. As if you could just walk to the supermarket to buy a new heart.
"There is a power so strong that you can't even understand it in your little head. It's called Kingdom Hearts ... and it will give us our deserved hearts. We just have to awaken this power."
Raven nodded.
"Are you going to help us with this?"
What did he have to lose? Raven looked at the sword again. He had nothing, just a name. Maybe he would get his memories that way too….
"Yes, I will help ...."
The white-haired man smiled icily and held out a hand.
"Well, from today you are a new member of Organization XIII."
With his right hand he grabbed the hand, with his left he took the sword, it vanished again into
