Hey, everyone! I mentioned this in the last chapter, and here it is! The first chapter of the Prank War Arc. I don't own KRDK. WARNING: May become a victim of uncontrollable laughter. (I did.) Enjoy!
Revenge (Lyra's POV)
Kit was as good as dead when I got my hands on him.
I stormed through the halls of the Rider Base, infuriated with my older brother. He is going to die, I am going to kill him!
"Oh don't be so dramatic, Lyra. You can get revenge without killing him." Akeona sounded rather bored, and if she hadn't been in the Advent Void at the time, I would've gone after her too. Reaching the room I shared with him, I yanked the door open violently and was glad that he wasn't in there. If he had been, he might've found himself waking up in the Infirmary.
Earlier, I had been trying to hide from Kase, Maya, and Sara. They had wanted to get me into a salon for a whole new do. "Not happening," was what I'd said, and they'd chased me all around the Base for at least three hours before I had found myself hiding in my own room, begging my brother not to betray my hiding spot. Kit had agreed, but I should've seen the mischievous twinkle in his eyes. When the three older girls had walked in, he had said that he had no clue where I was, only to pause and seem to remember.
"Oh, she's under my bed." The three girls had hauled me out from under the bed as I fought like crazy, pleading with my brother through the Advent Bond. Kit had merely laughed.
So now, here I was, looking like a complete idiot and dying for revenge. Kit was going to regret betraying me to the girls. But how to make him wish he hadn't…Hm. I wasn't pleased with the girls right now, but maybe they could help me out. Once I'd gotten all of the dumb makeup off and had taken a brush to my now-spiky, just past chin-length hair.
I look like Sakura Haruno from Naruto. That is the last time I let the girls ever get their hands on me to take me to get a new do.
"Aw, you took the makeup off!" Sara pouted, and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, I did. Look, I need you three's help." Maya and Kase looked at me curiously, and Kase must've seen the slightly mischievous look on my face.
"What are you planning on doing to poor Kit for betraying you?" Her voice was full of mirth, and I sat down on the couch next to her.
"That's just that. I have no clue what I could do. I need y'alls help. What could I do to get revenge?" Kase, Maya, and Sara thought about that, and Maya responded first.
"Well, I can think of one thing that would most definitely make him regret pissing you off." She grinned wickedly, and I grinned with her.
"I like the sound of that. What is it?" Maya motioned for Sara, Kase, and I to lean towards her, and she whispered her suggestion to us. The three of us sat back, all with wild looks on our faces.
"I'm so doing that to Kit," I growled eagerly, and Kase grinned.
"You know, this might be like when I was little. When I was fifteen, we started the first prank war here. I think this might start another."
"Really?" Maya and Sara looked at each other for a moment before getting identical grins on their faces, and I was briefly reminded of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. "That might not be so bad."
"Boys versus girls, probably." I glanced at Kase, and she nodded in confirmation. "We'd be outnumbered."
"So?" Kase leaned forward, elbows on her knees. "There's a reason why I'm the leader of this team and not Len. And I know that the reason for you being the leader is because you're smart, Lyra. Boys have strength, girls have intelligence."
I leaned back into the couch, grinning just like the Cheshire Cat. "Yeah. And believe me, we'll use it."
Kase stood, and so did Maya, Sara, and I. "Come on. I know exactly where we can get the supplies."
(Kit's POV)
I woke up, yawning and rolling over. Lyra was still sound asleep, her breathing soft. I smirked, laughing to myself for a moment as I remembered the look on her face when I'd given her to the other girls on a silver platter. Oh, she had not been happy.
I got up, grabbing a change of clothes and walking into the bathroom to clean up. Turning the water on, I adjusted it, knowing that I had plenty of time. Lyra had taken a shower the previous night, so I didn't need to worry about her banging on the door and demanding for me to hurry up.
Getting it, I reached for the shampoo and noticed the color for the first time. Pinkish white. Hmm. Odd. Oh well, it didn't mean anything. After all, there were weirder colors.
I got out about ten minutes later, drying off. I glanced in the mirror and noted that my hair was a bit brighter than usual. Dismissing the worry, I threw on my clothes and brushed my teeth, walking out of the bathroom. Lyra's bed was made, which wasn't a surprise. She'd probably gone to practice the Seven Forms somewhere. I wasn't really worried.
I started getting worried when I walked through the halls and was met with snickers. Immediately, I decided to make a detour to Len's room, feeling more and more worried by the moment. Kase and Len were talking inside, and when Kase saw me, she got up, laughing softly to herself as she left the room. Len took one look at me, gaped for a moment, and then yanked me in, slamming the door shut behind him.
"Kit! What the hell-Are you crazy? Why're you walking around like that?" I stared at Len, feeling fear pool up inside of me.
"Len? What are you talking about?" My voice was shaky, and Len grabbed my arm, pulling me into his bathroom. I caught sight of myself in the mirror and yelped, horrified by the sight that awaited me.
My hair was bright pink.
"Kit, seriously, did you not know?" Len sounded worried, and I nodded wordlessly. I put a hand to my hair, trying to figure out how this could've happened. Then, it hit me like a ton of bricks as Len raised his eyebrows.
"Lyra. Aw son of a-This is payback, revenge for me telling the girls where she was yesterday!" I exclaimed, stunned that my sister would've done something so horrible to me to get me back. Seriously, this wasn't funny. I heard snickering, and I whirled on Len, glowering at him coldly. "Not funny, elder!"
Len forced himself to sober up, shaking his head. "It is. She was pissed, and this gives you exactly the perfect reason to look for payback yourself." He grinned widely. "Don't you see? We've been talking about all sorts of pranks for the past few weeks, and I bet that Kase, Sara, and Maya helped Lyra come up with that idea. This is the perfect reason to start a prank war."
I turned to look at myself in the mirror. "I look like a male version of Sakura."
"Not quite. If you had slightly longer hair-" Len was cut off as I whipped around again, throwing a punch at him. He ducked, grabbing my arm and bending it back. "Easy, rookie," he murmured as I grunted, trying to get out of his grip. "Do you want payback?" I nodded. "Then stop trying to attack me. We boys beat Kase at this game years ago. We can beat the girls this time. After all, we do outnumber them."
I sighed, and Len let go. "Fine. But first thing's first-I'm finding out just how long this stuff can remain in your hair. I'm going to be pissed if it lasts a long time."
"The fading would make you look even worse. You'll probably have to let it grow out." I glowered at him, and he raised his hands in defense. "Just saying!"
I stalked out, and I caught sight of my sister and Kase giggling in the hallway.
"Perfect idea, Kas-Hey, Kit! Nice hair!" Lyra broke out laughing, doubling over, and I lunged, grabbing her collar and shoving her against the wall.
"How long until this stuff washes out?" I demanded, and she raised her eyebrows.
"Like I'm telling you. Besides, I didn't pay attention to that," Lyra taunted. I got in her face, making her smirk.
"Tell me." When she didn't, I pleaded. "Please!"
"Oh, a month or so." That's it, could I please Vent her now? Please, pretty please? She was dead.
"You're kidding," I replied bluntly, and Kase broke in.
"She isn't, Kit. The fastest way to get it out would be to dye your hair back to your original color. Sorry," Kase stated, making me pale and stumble back. A month? I had to go walking around with pink hair like some idiot for a month?
"You're going to regret this," I promised, and Lyra snorted.
"You started it by betraying me."
"You're so on."
