C.S.C.: This is my first chaptered fic! Its starts off where chapter 6 (Beauty Pop Stage 2) left off. At least...I think its chapter 6. I'm not quite sure of the exact chapter number, but it's at the end of volume 8!! So anyways, the only spoilers are at the beginning. And there might be some super small ones sprinkled in by accident. I'll try hard not to because I'm not sure if the people reading mind spoilers or not.

Oh, by the way, I have very sad news. The final chapter of Beauty Pop has come out in Japan. U.U So now it's officially ten volumes. Isn't that sad?? It was my favorite series ever!!!! And what's even worse is that it won't come out in the U.S. til December!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and if you want to read a summery of it, plus read a couple of pages from it, I have some links on my profile!!

Disclaimer: If I owned Beauty Pop, I would make the series longer...but...I don't...so I can't do anything about it

Flashback from Volume 8

(note: I will refer to Narumi's dad by first name, Yujiro, so I don't have to type out "Narumi's dad" every time I mention him.)

Narumi read the paper that his dad had just handed him. Ochiai and Iori peered over his shoulder. "All Japan Beauty Contest?" he read.

"Yes," Narumi's dad answered. "The Top beauticians in all of Japan enter this contest. If the S.P. can prove that they have the skill and win this contest, I'll let you do whatever you want. But," here Yujiro's voice got lower and more threatening. "If you lose the S.P. will be disbanded forever."

Narumi crumpled up the paper and threw it back at his dad. "No thanks, we don't need your help."

Yujiro Narumi smirked. "Is that so...well, then I guess you don't care that I have this."

And with "this" he held up a folder with the words "Koshiba Beauty Salon" on it.

"These are the rights to the Koshiba Beauty Salon," he said.

Narumi and Ochiai snapped back. Even Kiri looked back.

"Anyone who has these rights can do whatever they want with the salon, for example, tear it down and put a new building in it's place." he continued in a low voice.

The S.P. looked shocked and angry.

"Well, I'll take my leave." Yujiro said as he started to walk away.

"Wait one second!" Narumi said, stepping forward.

"Hmm? What is it?" Narumi's dad said with a smirk, turning back.

Ochiai held up the piece of paper. "If we win this contest..." he began.

"Then you will give us the rights?" Narumi finished.

Yujiro smirked. "Yes. If you win the contest, then I will give you the rights."

End of Flashback

Kiri yawned as she walked to school. Billy was walking next to her and was talking to her about something. Not that Kiri was listening. She was busy trying to figure out which class she could sleep through without the teacher caring.

As they neared the school, Kiri heard in the background Billy saying,

"…today?"

Kiri decided to finally pay a little attention to the poor guy.

"Hmm?" she said as she cast a bored look at him.

Billy rolled his eyes. "I ASKED you if you were going to be late in coming home today, since don't you have that S.P. meeting thing after school?"

(Btw, in the manga, Billy is boarding at Kiri's house)

"Oh…yeah…maybe." Kiri yawned again as Billy went on and on about him being better than Narumi at haircutting and whatnot. She didn't care. She just wanted to take a nap.

Kiri and Billy walked into their classroom and were greeted by Kanako and Taro.

"Hello, Kiri-chan!" Kanako greeted cheerfully.

"Hey." Kiri said back.

"Hey Kiri!!" Taro-tard exclaimed. "You're going to the S.P. meeting today after school, right?"

"Hmm…yeah, I guess." Kiri replied in her usual monotonous voice.

"Great! Because Ochiai-senpai said that today was a training day for the contest!" Taro continued, obviously super excited.

"Oh…so?" Kiri replied, obviously not interested.

"What?!? How can you just say 'oh', Kiri?! You're the one who has the most at stake h-"

"Hey you! Don't be so rude to a lady, especially Kirity!"

Everyone turned around to see, of course, Iori coming up with his aroma-of-the-day in one day, and a heart eyed girl in the other.

"Oh…it's you." Kiri said.

"NO!!!!!!" Iori exclaimed as he collapsed to the floor in depression. "How could you be so cruel, Kirity??"

Meanwhile, everyone was watching Billy talking and smiling with the girl who had been on Iori's arm (and is now standing in front of Billy's desk). She seemed to be totally overcome with him. Iori immediately recovered.

"Hey you! That's me's lady!!!! Back off!!!"

"Huh?" Billy grinned innocently. "What was I doing? We were just talking."

Kiri rolled her eyes as Iori kept yelling at Billy. She put her head down on the desk. All she wanted was a nap…

Later that day, after school, the whole S.P. was assembled in the clubroom. The S.P., that is, except for Ochiai, on whom they were waiting on.

Finally the door opened and in walked the S.P. president: Kazuhiko Ochiai.

"Hello, everyone," he started. "I'm sure you all have heard about the training that's going to take place today."

Narumi spoke up as everyone nodded.

"Yeah, Kazuhiko, um, what's up with that?"

But before Ochiai could answer, Iori (who was sitting in a chair sipping a cup of tea) said, while shaking his head,

"Oh, Narusy. Me and Oushin are very disappointed. Surely a genius-san like you would know what a training day is."

"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND STOP CALLING ME NARUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Narumi roared.

Kiri sighed. So noisy….

"Ahem!" Ochiai cleared his throat, trying to get everyone's attention again. He turned to Narumi. "Yes, Narumi. Today we are going to be honing our skills in preparation of the contest coming up."

"Okay, whatever!" Narumi said, shooting one more glare at Iori, who simply sipped his tea.

"Me has just one question, Oushin. Me does like to be with beautiful ladies, but the only ladies here are Kirity and Kanaria. So is me only going to practice on them? Because it's too hard for me to imagine Narusy as a beautiful lady."

Narumi snapped. "Why…you…" he said, shaking with rage.

Ochiai quickly stepped in. "Actually, no. When I planned this, I went around and asked certain people if they were willing to be a model for us to do a makeover on for practice. They readily agreed."

"Huh? Who did you ask?" Narumi asked.

Ochiai went to the door and opened it, revealing a large group of Narumi's fan girls.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeee!" they squealed as they rushed forward into the clubroom.

"Ah. Here they are." Ochiai said.

"?!" Narumi could feel his skin starting to feel itchy just by looking at the huge crowd of girls heading towards him.

"Kazuhikoooo!!!!!" was the last thing the S.P. heard before the large group of girls blocked Narumi out from view.

The S.P. gawked. Kei was happily getting food from some of the girls.

"Argh!!! Get away from me!!!" they heard Narumi shout.

"Well," Ochiai said. "Shall we start?"

First Iori would treat the person to an aroma he thought matched best while Seki gave her a massage. Next, Kei would do their nails at the same time Ochiai was doing make-up. Lastly, but not least, Kiri and Narumi were in charge of adding the last bit of magic, in the form of a haircut.

Four hours later…

Narumi collapsed into a chair. "Oh gosh! Finally we're done!"

Ochiai added, "It seems that's the last of them."

Kiri yawned. "Well then, I'm off. Later."

"Hey, Kiri-chan, I'll walk you home." Seki said.

Iori immediately sprang forward.

"NO! Mister! That's me's duty! Kirity wait! Me will walk you home!" (No, I don't take credit for that line :P)

"I'm leaving too! I'm hungry!" Kei moaned as he wobbled out the door.

"Che. Finally mussy-head left. With a genius like me in this club I don't see why we need her." Narumi said, as he started to organize the S.P. room.

Ochiai rolled his eyes as he checked the S.P.'s website.

Hmm….we've been getting a lot of hits lately. Excellent.

He was about to close when a message popped up. Oh? A new email. Let's see…

A few moments later Ochiai said, "Narumi, come over here. Take a look at this email."

Narumi put down the scissors he was organizing and went to where Ochiai was.

"What is it, Kazuhiko?"

Ochiai pointed at the screen. "Read," he said. It read,

Hey little baby prince of Salon-de-Narumi! I heard that you and that little puny club of yours was planning on entering the All Japan Beauty Contest. Well, I'm here to tell you to drop out immediately! Or who knows what I might do to force you to drop out! This is NOT a prank!!'

"WHAT???????? WHO DOES THIS JERK THINK HE IS?????????" Narumi yelled.

"Hey, Narumi, this reminds me of the other time this happened. Remember when Chisami-chan and Aoyama-san were kidnapped? This seems very similar."

Narumi calmed down. "Oh…yeah, I guess. Do you think that this is just a stupid thing like that?"

"I don't know." Ochiai replied.

When Narumi muttered "If only we knew who that big-mouthed jerk was…" Ochiai smiled.

"Thank you, Narumi."

"Eh?"

"You just reminded me of something." Ochiai continued, pushing his glasses up unto his nose. "I know a way to trace emails. Let's see…"

Ochiai started doing a bunch of strange things on his laptop, leaving Narumi to wonder, I thought only police could do that…heh. Never underestimate Kazuhiko…

Ochiai suddenly stopped and stared at the screen in shock.

Narumi looked at him, confused. "Kazuhiko? Something wrong?"

Ochiai continued to stare, then spoke"…it seems that this person has gone to great lengths to make sure this email is untraceable." He turned and looked up at Narumi. "I don't think this person is kidding, Narumi."

Narumi stared at the computer screen. Great lengths? He wondered. Then he remembered something.

"Well, even if this guy is serious we cant drop out! You heard my dad! If we don't win he'll…" he trailed off as they both remembered Yujiro's threats.

Ochiai sighed as he turned back to his laptop. Narumi was muttering "Stupid dad!" behind him

I don't have a good feeling about this at all…

C.S.C.: Phew!! I'm done with the first chapter! I think it was kinda longish. Hope you liked it!!

Btw, the flashback were taken from the end of volume 8. Some of the dialogue was substituted and I skipped some, cuz my Jap is so poor I cant understand 100 percent(Kanji is so hard D:). So if anyone has read it and will send me correct dialogue I will GLADLY revise it!!!! Thank you!!!

Review Please!!!!!!!
