Author's Note:
I felt really bad about not updating for so long so I decided to write this chapter. The characters are a bit OOC in this chapter mainly because it's just a filler chapter before the main event comes. Hope it comes to your liking. And I apologize for not updating for almost three months. Hope this chapter makes up for it. Oh, and also see if you can guess Kurai's Alice in this chapter. Read and review!

Chapter Twelve
-Revenge Is Sweet-
-X-
The quiet sound of pencil etching onto a piece of paper was heard in the bedroom. The pencil worked furiously on the white surface as a pair of olive-brown eyes scanned across each word that she wrote. The look of frustration crossed her pale face. She crossed out the sentence that she wrote down and replaced it with another.
Finally, the pencil stopped.
Mikan set the writing equipment down and leaned back on her chair with a loud sigh. Her left hand reached for the piece of paper on the desk. Her eyes looked over the paper tiredly. After four long hours of writing it was finally done.
Ever since Kurai had given her that nasty kiss last night, Mikan's mind had been trying to come up with a great revenge plan.
Here's what she wrote down:
Task One: While he's not looking put a large amount of sugar into his coffee (Kurai hates sweets).
Task Two: Mix his spray with a strong bottle of perfume to make him suffocate.
Task Three: Steal and burn his clothes while he's in the shower.
Task Four: Give him a horrible make-over.
Task Five: Dye his hair pink
Mikan smirked evilly. That will teach his to keep his hands and lips to himself. Stuffing the paper and pencil in her pocket, the nullifier then headed towards the door.
Operation: Get revenge on Kurai starts now.

Task One – Sweet Tooth
-X-
Yukiko was surprised to see Sakura Mikan bursting into the kitchen all of a sudden when she was preparing a cup of coffee for Kurai. She was even more surprised when the auburn haired girl kicked herself and all the other servants out…literally.
Yukiko rubbed her painful behind and got up from the carpeted ground. Her amber coloured eyes shone with confusion. What exactly is Mikan doing in there, making all those unnecessary noises? Clanging sounds could be heard and after that all was quiet.
A few seconds later, Mikan emerged from the kitchen, looking satisfied.
'Sakura-sama, what were you doing in there?' the strawberry-blonde haired servant asked.
Mikan's small smirk slid off her face and she turned towards Yukiko and all the other servants, wearing a cold expression on her face.
'I believe that's none of your business,' she said flatly.
Yukiko bowed her head. 'Please excuse me,' she apologized.
The auburn haired girl sighed. 'It's fine. It's getting late; you better give Kurai-sama-' she spat out the honorific like it was venom. '-his afternoon coffee.'
The servant nodded. 'Understood,' then proceeded into the kitchen while Mikan walked away.
Yukiko glance around the room. Everything looked perfectly normal. All objects were right where they are. She walked over towards the bench where she left the coffee and narrowed her eyes. What was that on the bench? It was small and white. If she didn't have great eyesight she would have missed it.
Is that sugar?
What is sugar doing here? Kurai never asked for sugar to be put in his coffee and Yukiko knew that fact better than anyone else in headquarters. So why is there sugar here?
Deciding to uncover the case later, the amber eyed servant picked up the cup of coffee delicately and put it gently on a plate, making sure it didn't spill.
Then she proceeded towards Kurai's office. Yukiko knocked twice on the wooden oak and seconds later she heard his voice from inside.
She opened the door and let herself in, not noticing a figure hiding around the corner of the corridor, smirking.
'Kurai-sama, I've brought your coffee,' she stated, placing the cup down on his desk.
The sapphire eyed man nodded and picked up the cup while Yukiko backed away toward the corner of the office. The cup neared his pale lips and he gulped it quickly. Immediately his hand flew to his mouth and he dropped the cup of coffee. All the contents splattered onto the carpet, staining it brown.
Kurai flew into a coughing fit. What the hell was that?!
Yukiko was immediately at his side. 'K-Kurai-sama? What's wrong?' she asked frantically. It's not that she cared about him or anything but if he gets hurt then it'll automatically make it her fault since she's the only one here.
Kurai choked and made a painful wheezing sound. His eyes scrunched closed. Yukiko began to panic. What if something happens to him? What should she do?
Her eyes drifted towards the coffee on the floor and her eyes widened. Could it be…? No!
'Kurai-sama!' she cried. 'I'll go get the doctor!' Before she was able to stand up, Kurai grabbed onto her wrist tightly. His coughs ceased and he was back to normal, although there was no doubt about the anger that he now held.
'Don't be so nosy,' he spat.
The look on his face was murderous. Yukiko bit back a gulp.
Outside in the hallways, Mikan was inwardly cheering at her success.
Hell yeah, success!

Task Two – Lynx Perfume
-X-
She never thought that his room would be like this! Mikan had always imagined Kurai to be a tidy and polite man who keeps his hands to himself, though yesterday proved her last statement wrong. But the scene in front of her right now had proved all of those statements false. Rubbish was scattered all around the floor and the bed wasn't even made properly. Books were scattered all over his desk and a half eaten burger was on his bed.
Mikan cringed at the sight.
Her eyes scanned across the room and landed upon the desired object that she was looking for. Smiling, she stalked over to the object and picked on up. It was Kurai's body spray. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a strong smelling perfume bottle and set it down on the desk, but not before opening it. With some slight difficulty, she opened the spray bottle and gagged at the smell. Lynx…Mikan positively hated the smell of Lynx. The auburn haired girl pinched her nose and poured the liquid contents of her perfume into the Lynx bottle. She twisted the cap back on and began to shake the bottle furiously, mixing together the liquid of both the Lynx and the perfume. Mikan sighed and set the spray perfume down in its original place and quickly back out of the room, but not before closing the windows tightly.
Now, all she had to do is wait until the devil to shows up.
A few minutes later, Kurai appeared looking tired and grouchy. Mikan watched from her hiding place as he stepped into his room. She grinned excitedly when he reached for his spray bottle.
Let the games begin.
'What the hell is this smell?!' he shrieked once he sprayed his Lynx onto himself. The powerful scent travelled up his nose, making him gag. Kurai rushed towards the window, hoping to let some air in, only to find it tightly sealed.
Noooooooooooo!
He could take it anymore. The black haired devil rushed out of his room and into the bathroom at the other side of the corridor.
Mikan chuckled. This is so much fun. Task Three, here I come!

Task Three – Things Are Getting Heated Up
-X-
This is perfect! Mikan thought gleefully. With him in the bathroom, I can do task three right now!
She tip-toed towards the bathroom and pressed her ear against the door. Sounds of running water could be heard. Mikan smirked, that means he's definitely in there, naked. She twisted the doorknob slowly and pushed open the door. There he was…in the shower…behind the curtain…naked and unaware of Mikan's presence.
This is a lot easier than I thought, she mused.
Olive-brown orbs scanned across the room and landed on the pile of clothing on the bathroom floor. She gathered it all up into her arms, along with his towel and slipped out of the room, closing the door behind carefully.
There is no way that Kurai would be able to live this down. It's just his luck that his room is all the way on the other side of the hallway. Since Mikan took every piece of clothing, including the towel, there is no way that he'll be able to get out of there without revealing himself stark naked to everyone.
Arriving at her room, Mikan kicked the door open, walked in and slammed it shut. She dropped the pile of Kurai's clothing onto the ground and walked towards her small fireplace. It took a while for the fire to light up but when it did, the auburn haired girl picked up a piece of clothing one at a time and threw it in the fire.
Laughter rose from deep within her throat as she picked up the next piece.
What the hell?! Teddy-bear boxers?!
Who would have thought that Kurai was a lover of teddy-bears!
She laughed and chucked the piece of clothing the fireplace, along with the rest. The materials slowly burnt down to ashes and Mikan lied down on the floor, letting the warmth engulf her body.
She waited…
…and waited…
…and waited…
…and waited…
'WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CLOTHES?!'
Task three completed.

Task Four – It's Time For A Makeover!
-X-
Kurai sighed as he sat lied down on his bed. Today was absolutely horrible! First he discovered sugar in his coffee that almost sent him to a hospital, straight into the emergency room. He did not have a sweet tooth! Second, someone had mixed in perfume with his Lynx spray. He had never experienced such a horrible smell, even worse than old gym socks. And last but not least, his clothes went missing while he was in the shower trying to get rid of the horrible odour courtesy of the Lynx perfume. Kurai was not convinced that his clothes would one day grow legs and run away. Thanks to that, he had everyone's shock-filled eyes on his as he ran through the hallways, naked. Kurai swear that he had used his Alice at least twenty times to shock the onlookers.
He let out a groan as his head hit his pillow. Tomorrow he would have to find the culprit that was causing all this trouble for him. But for now; sleep.
When the clock handle struck midnight, the door to his room opened and in came the mischievous Mikan. In her hands were a make-up bag and a bucket filled with pink dye. She grinned evilly as she spotted the devil fast asleep on his bed. Once in a while, he would let out a few snores here and there.
Cautiously, the auburn haired girl walked over towards Kurai's bedside and unzipped the bag. The grin on her face widened. This guy is going to have the worse make-over ever.
She got out a blood-red coloured lipstick and began applying it onto his lips. She was only done with his bottom lips when all of a sudden he pressed his lips together, smudging them horribly.
Mikan forced the laughter back down her throat and got out purple mascara and started applying it on his eyelids then preceded towards the pink blush, accidentally applying a bit too much.
The nullifier back away from Kurai and laughed silently. With the make-over that he had, he looked horribly like a girl.
I should be a make-up artist, she mused.

Task Five – Pink Passion
-X-
Now, it's time for the final task. Give Kurai-the-devil pink hair. Mikan wanted to squeal like a high-school girl. She's so excited. Kurai is going to pay for what he did to her. Mikan opened the lid on the bucket. She peered inside to see thick pink liquid. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a pair of transparent gloved and slipped them on. The last thing she need was to leave any evidence behind.
She began her final task.
While she was dying his hair, Kurai shifted around uncomfortably. She stopped for a second, afraid that he'll wake up but when he let out a few snore she knew that he was still sound asleep.
Mikan sighed in relief and proceed to finish her artwork. After a few minutes, she was done. Of course she could get the back of his hair but it was better than nothing.
Mikan quickly gathered up her things and rushed out the door, but not before giving Kurai one last look. She dashed into her bedroom and leaned against the door.
She couldn't handle it anymore. Peals of evil laughter emitted from the auburn haired girl. Never in her life had she ever had this much fun.
Who would have known that Mikan would go through all that trouble just because Kurai gave her a kiss?
Revenge is so sweet.
That just goes to show you one important thing.
Never mess with Sakura Mikan…unless you wouldn't mind pink hair.
-X-
…
'ARGG! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY HAIR?!
Yes, revenge is so sweet.
