Ah...the sweet scent of revenge!! *evil laugh* ... Enjoy the terror! Hopefully, some of you will have guessed what's gonna happen anyway... (P.S, It looks like The Ryokofu Invasion will be drawing to a close in the next few chapters... sorry...) This chapter is kinda long...sorry 'bout that!

"KIRI! DID YOU HEAR?!" Taro burst into the class room the following morning, yelling at the top of his voice. Kiri and Haruhi looked up curiously from their geography work.

"TAROMATSU! YOU ARE LATE!" The teacher yelled. "Why do you run in yelling when the first thing you should do is apologise for your tardiness then try to catch up on the work you've missed?!" The class tensed up unanimously, waiting to hear his fate.

"You're right, sorry sensei!" Taro bowed in apology and scuttled over to Haruhi and Kiri. The teacher watched him go, fuming, but his lateness was apparently not worth punishing, after all; he didn't do it often. "Kiri!" Taro hissed from his desk. "The S.P are having a special surprise timed attack! Ochiai sempai asked me to make sure you're there!"

"Hmm..." Kiri shrugged. "I'm not really that interested."

"But this one's gonna be awesome! They've borrowed a massive screen from the drama department so they can have a live video feed, making it easier for the audience to see the close up of the cuts!" He exclaimed. "Not only that, there's gonna be three girls chosen from our year to have the makeovers!"

"Three at once? Narumi's being pretty ambitious, I thought you and him were the only hair stylists." Haruhi commented.

"Billy might be in on it..." Kiri wondered aloud, but she doubted it. Narumi and Billy didn't get along that well; it'd have to be something pretty important for them to work together without tearing one another's flesh apart.

"Will you come and watch, Kiri?" Kanako asked from behind. "It might be really cool!" Kiri sat in silence for a moment or two, then sighed, resigned.

"I guess we could go." She leant heavily on the desk. "It's at lunch right?"

"YES!" Taro cheered. Haruhi gazed around at the three Ryokufu students. She wished that life at Ouran was as simple as this...

Narumi plugged in the final cable for the video link to the massive screen lining the back of the stage. Billy and Ochiai had heard the full story and were cooperating nicely. This was it then. Five minutes more and people would flock in for the S.P surprise timed attack. The three girls would be there, Ochiai had assured him. It was time for them to pay for what they did to Mussy-head. Telling them off for trying to hide her shoes wasn't enough anymore. They hadn't learnt from his warning the last time so it was time for them to get a taste of their own medicine...

Taro was practically dragging Kiri into the hall where the S.P was to hold their performance, Haruhi and Kanako were walking leisurely along behind them. When they entered the hall, they were surprised how many students had turned out to watch. The room was practically bursting at the seams.

"Ochiai told me he'd reserve us seats at the front!" Taro said excitedly. As he continued to drag Kiri forward and forced her down on an empty chair right in front of the stage. "It looks like we're just in time!" He smiled. "Look!" Ochiai, Narumi, Kei and Billy were making their way onto the stage to a tumult of applause.

"Hey there!" Kiri looked to her right. Tamaki, Kyouya and all the Ouran had turned up to witness the S.P in action too, huh? They sat down next to them and waited for the show to start.

"Welcome one and all to the S.P surprise timed attack!" Ochiai called to the masses of screaming students. "Without further ado, we will announce the names of the three girls lucky enough to have been selected for makeovers today! They are; Ruriko Matsuda, Hanakimi Danaki and Nemu Usagi!" There were three squeals from audience members and the three girls tottered over and up the steps to the stage. They stood in a line looking utterly pleased with themselves, grinning from ear to ear.

"But before we go to the makeover, there's something we want to share with the audience." Narumi took the microphone and grinned mischievously. "Cue video!" The lights in the room flickered out and the large screen at the back of the stage flooded the room with light.

"Isn't that the canteen?" Taro asked from Kiri's left. "Hey! That looks like your bag on the floor Kiri!" Kiri was starting to put one and two together. They weren't seriously going to show this? Suddenly, the three girls, still stood on the stage appeared on the screen, boxes of juice in hand. The ones on the stage looked at the screen and their jaws dropped as they watched themselves laugh, pouring juice all over Kiri's bag.

"No...?!" Tamaki muttered from Kiri's right.

All of a sudden, the video stopped, the lights came back on. The audience and the guys gathered on stage were all utterly confused.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Kiri called from beside the stage where she had just pulled the plug. "It was just a prank! They don't deserve public humiliation!" Narumi, the most confused of all stepped forward.

"What the hell are you talking about?! I thought you wanted them to stop!"

"Not if it means losing all their self esteem." Kiri said quietly but clearly so only Narumi could hear. "Isn't it the job of the S.P to make girls beautiful?"

"Yeah...but..."

"Then why have you used a tactic like this to make them seem so ugly to everyone...?!" Kiri couldn't say anymore. She wanted him to realise that bullying back was not the way to solve the problem...but why was she so surprised? Had she expected him to talk to them in quiet and protect her again like her knight in shining armour? She turned on her heel and stalked from the room, silent tears cascading down her cheeks.
