Hinata and Emma watch the fight unfolding with wide surprised eyes on their faces. Both of their palms are together as they tried not to get closer to the fight.

When Kiriko announces that she will give them 'a taste of death' Milim charges towards the approaching three and punches them on their guts. The three fell down from the impact but Milim did not give them enough time to stand up and kick their faces at once.

Kiriko lets go of the wrist she is holding and it is being twisted in a different way. Hina tried not to get affected by it, the goon leader used his other hand to grab force Kiriko but she swiftly avoided it, now instead of fighting him. Kiriko is simply dodging his failed attacks.

'W-what?! Why can't I punch her?!' the goon leader becoming impatient, "BOYS!" he roared. Kiriko and Milim felt the presence of the newcomers whom this goon called, around fifteen. They are quite big and muscular, definitely a high schooler.

"Buwahahahaha! Can't even take care of two gals and call for the help of your underlings? Just how low you could reach? Buwahahahaha!"

Milim laughed while still punching the third goon lackey with the other two on the ground. Passed out.

"W-what? The Vice-Captain of the Second Division is out?!"

"These girls...!"

"We'll make sure you'll regret this!"

Kiriko grabs the fist coming to her, then turns her head to the goons who just arrived. She smiled sweetly, "You guys joined the party, eh?" with a single hand, she twisted the other wrist of the goon leader. He cried in pain, his loud cry startled his underlings. Hina and Emma would be lying if they aren't affected by this cry. It was terrifying, not the cry. But the cause of it.

Milim, who is punching the passed-out man is smiling so bright. Standing on the two boys she beat up. While Kiriko lets go of the wrist she twisted, her appearance looks like an angel on a battlefield. She is careful not to spoil her white dress as she approached Milim, ignoring the leader of the goons who are still crying because of his dislocated wrist.

Emma felt the same presence she always feels when she is around Toman. The silent but raging intimidation from Mikey, and the roaring aura of Smiley. The two girls in front of her are undeniably strong, they stand on the same level as the Toman's Division Captains, or they might be stronger than them— she doesn't know.

But one thing is for sure...

They are both terrifying.

"You know what I hate the most?" Kiriko started talking. The newcomers flinched. Her purple eyes are starting to get darker, "Molesters who harass girls. Fools who think that being in a crowd will stand a fighting chance against the other opponent." She smirked and stop, a few steps away from the newcomer goons who arrived because of their goon leader's roar.

Kiriko's eyes became much darker, and sharper. A similar look that her brother, Hibari Kyoya releases when he is pissed off, "I'll give you all a taste of death." is what she said as she charges towards the fifteen guys. The next scenes happened so fast.

Kiriko jumped in the air, then landed on one guy and kick his head as she continue to jump on the next one. But he raised his bat to hit her, Kiriko uses her hand to grab it and throw it and her leg reached his temple and make him passed out. Kiriko continue this technique, hopping and kicking while Milim started punching the remaining ones.

Milim's punches are not ordinary. She is trained by the Sun Guardian, Sasagawa Ryohei when she was still in the Sun Division in Italy. Her punches are much more destructive than a normal punch since the core of her techniques is the Maximum Cannon, the technique of her Master.

Kiriko on the other hand, trained under the same instructor with her brother when they are still young and was taught by her brother when using the Ring Flames. Her martial arts are outstanding. She is a Hibari after all.

While the one-sided fight is happening. Emma and Hina are on the corner. Waiting for them to finish. Emma is admiring the strength and power of the two girls while Hina is worried for their well-being.

"I got you!" Emma heard a voice coming from her behind. She turn around and saw another guy holding a bat in the air, ready to hit them. Emma doesn't know how to react. How should she dodge? Could Hina time it with her? Her thoughts are being clouded by doubts when a fist stops the boy and falls down by the impact. Emma's eyes sparkled with tears attempting to escape from her eyes.

"Good thing we made it. Emma! Hina! Are you both alright?!"

Emma is starting to tear up, "D-Draken..." It was Draken. He is panting, rushing to the site where Emma is. Feeling the relief, Emma's tears decided to let go.

"D-Draken! You came!" Emma did the thing she wanted to do since earlier— she cried. She threw herself on Draken who is taken back by the sudden affection Emma is giving to him. His cheeks are starting to get warm.

"Hina!" a familiar blonde hair, labeled as the blonde punching bag by Kiriko and Milim arrived on the scene. Getting off one of the bikes that arrived rushing towards his girlfriend.

"Hina! Are you alright? Did they hurt you? Do you have—"

"Takemichi-kun, I am alright. I am not hurt. Please calm down." Hina is also on the verge of breaking down in the sight of her boyfriend if only he didn't bawl his eyes before her. The situation turns the opposite as Hina is now trying to calm her crying boyfriend.

"Are you both alright—" Mitsuya, the Second Division Captain of Toman drop his jaw when they arrived on the scene.

The scene that they caught is a hopping white-dressed girl kicking the boys with bats and a pink-haired girl punching brightly the remaining boys on the ground.

"Just what happened in here..." he couldn't find the right words to speak.

"Mitsuya!"

"How's Emma?!"

"What the fuck happened in here?!"

Baji, Hakkai and Mikey arrived at the site and were dumbstruck by what they caught.

There are now nineteen boys, high school ones, lying on the cold concrete floor with two girls in their middle, beating up their ass. 

Mikey rushed towards his younger sister, "Emma!"

Emma noticed her brother then remembered, "T-that's right! Kiriko-chan and Milim-chan are fighting the molesters—" she pointed to the two and realized that the fight is finished. The victory rose for the two girls who beat nineteen high school guys all by themselves.

"Kiriko?" Mikey felt a familiar feeling by the name and followed where Emma's eyes landed.

Her dark long straight hair was blown by the wind, showing her pale and soft-looking skin. She slightly tilted her head, showing her unnatural and rare purple eyes that met Mikey's pitch-black eyes.

"Mikey?" she called. There Mikey remembered who this girl is.

"Kiricchi?" he called back.

Mikey looks at her in a wider scope. Underneath her are the boys, beaten up and passed out. Her white dress is now spoiled with dirt and small drips of blood. But visible since she is wearing a pure white dress. Her white doll shoes are also full of dirt. When she noticed that Mikey is scanning her appearance. Kiriko is now aware of her looks.

"What an actual fuck?!" She exclaimed. Irritated as she saw how dirty the white dress and shoes are. She heard a burst of roaring laughter, much louder than before coming from Milim who is sitting above the boys she was beaten up.

"BUWAHAHAHAHAHA, ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS FOR NOTHING, KIRI-CHAN! BUWAHAHAHA." she tsked and started walking towards Emma and Hina. Milim followed her, but she is still laughing. Not really care if there are some new visitors who look at her with weirded eyes.

Kiriko just tsked at her. She pats Mikey's shoulder as she continues heading towards the two girls.

"Are you both alright? They didn't touch the both of you?" the two shook their heads.

"They didn't! Both of you took care of them!"

"How about you? Milim-chan! Kiriko-chan!"

Worriedness fill the faces of the two girls. Kiriko smiled at them reassuringly, "They aren't a hurdle." Milim roared with laughter again, "A few punches and kicks and they are out! We beat them without a sweat!" what she said is true.

Seeing the two girls standing in front of them with only dirt and blood from the beaten guys. There is no sweat present at all.

The two released a breath, feeling relieved.

"Thank goodness..." Hina mumbled under her breath. She looked at the two girls and smiled brightly at them, "Kiriko-chan, Milim-chan... Thank you so much for protecting us!" she bowed her head in gratitude. Emma followed her lead.

"If it wasn't for the both of you. They might have—!" Emma couldn't finish the sentence. Afraid of the possible ending of them if the two are not fighters.

"Don't sweat it." Kiriko told the two, lifting their heads with a finger on their chins, "You both did your best hanging in there. Emma, you did well calling for help, and Hina you took care of Emma calming her down. In that situation, both of you passed with flying colors."

A blush crept on their face when Kiriko complimented them.

"What happened in here, Kiricchi?" Mikey asked her. He feels happy to see his friend but seeing her all dirty and bloody, fresh from a fight makes him restless. Kiriko turns to him and answers, "Some molesters trying to hit us on. Too bad, they chose the wrong girl."

"They didn't do anything bad from all of you?" Mitsuya asked. Milim who is now beside him laughed at his question.

"As you can see. They're the ones who got the judgment," she said that while patting his back. Mitsuya is dumbfounded asking himself why is she acting so familiar?

"These guys just always flock around us then ask if we have some company then act so friendly. Yuck! Their hidden intentions are all open! Argh! Just remembering their attempts makes my blood boil. Why are they even always targetting us?!" Milim added getting irritated and her pats becoming rasher.

Mitsuya is now coughing, silently asking for help.

"Milim, tone it down." Kiriko told her and made Milim stop and pouted, "Hmph! Their fault! They are getting on my nerves!"

They are totally clueless. Hina thought.

Just what environment did they grow up in that they do not know how beautiful they both are?! Emma yelled inside her head.

"But what are you girls doing in Shinjuku?— Emma! I told you not to wander around in a place where Toman has no control over! What would have happened if it is only the two of you?!" Draken started his scolding session to Emma and Hina who simply listened with their heads down.

"Kiricchi." Mikey called the girl who is trying to dust off the dirt from her white dress. When Kiriko looked at him, he is already extending his right hand holding his gakuran, "Cover yourself with this." he offered.

Kiriko accepted it without complaints. Her dress has blood drips and it might cause some misunderstandings by the bystanders if they saw it.

"Thank you." She thanked Mikey who only turn around and head towards his bike. Kiriko put on the gakuran and it is only slightly bigger on her.

When she finished putting it on. Mikey handed her a helmet. She looked at him with a confused face and asked, "What does that mean?"

"I'll give you a ride. Hop on," he said but Kiriko refused. Mikey frowned on her quick refusal. Milim who is now sitting on Mitsuya's Impulse laughed when she heard her friend's response.

"Sorry to say but you can't bring us home. The people in our place are not inviting some guests over. Be it only a bit of time or not." she said earning a glare from Kiriko, "Besides, she can't go back home with a bloodied white dress— pfft. Hibari-san really predicted that you'll get in trouble today, Kiri-chan." she added and Kiriko only sneered.

"Why can't we drive you guys home?" Mikey asked.

"I said it already didn't I? Uninvited guests are not allowed to enter." Milim repeated what she said. But Mikey is persistent.

"But why? We're just giving you a ride. We are not planning to enter."

"Still can't. Sorry, little dude."

L-little Dude?! Mikey didn't like it. He was about to stomp towards the unnamed pink-headed girl when Kiriko tug his shirt.

"Forget about it. Just take me to a place I could change. I don't like the smell on my dress." she said making Mikey stop in his tracks and put on his helmet.

While this whole scene is happening. Mitsuya, Baji, Hakkai, Draken and Emma are all in shock. While Hina and Takemichi are wondering about their friend's reactions.

"Hey, am I seeing this right?" Emma asked Draken who is also astounded on the scene.

Mitsuya answered with a nod and said, "Mikey got stopped?" he unbelievably asked.

Baji on the other hand is buffering. He just saw his friend being soft towards a girl— he repeat— A FREAKING GIRL! Mikey is respectful to girls but he never, ever, approach one of his free wills.

Emma forgot about the scolding and now tugging Draken's gakuran. Silencing her squeals. Draken lets her, also in dazed seeing how Mikey acts in the girl.

He recognized the girl, the one who hoarded the dorayaki on the whole shelf and gave Mikey a free dorayaki as an apology. Since when did they become acquainted after their indirect meeting?

Mikey turn his head to the guys who flinched.

"Hey, I'm going home." He said and started his bike with the girl on his back, her arms on his torso comfortably sitting sidewards, protecting her thighs to be seen. Mikey then left the area leaving his friends hanging.

"Buwahahaha! Have fun Kiri-chan!" the pink-headed girl shouted while waving. Is she not even worried about her friend who got abducted by a shrimp?

Setting aside Mikey's unusual behavior. Draken goes back to the topic.

"Someone has to interrogate these trashes." He turns his head to Baji, "Can you handle this, Baji?"

The boy with long midnight hair smirked, "Who do you think am I? Ha! I'll be back with information!"

Draken turns to the two girls; Emma and Hina, "Next time, make sure to bring one of the guys. If you think it is troublesome then change that thinking and think differently. Accept our company and don't ever wander around alone. You both are also part of Toman. Unofficial, but everyone knows that you both are now."

The two said yes and the scolding has finally come to the end.

"How about you? Will you come with us? We're going on where Mikey brought your friend." Mitsuya asked the girl who is sitting on his Impulse quite comfortably. She examines herself before answering.

"Nah, I'll go ahead," she answered.

"Are you sure you don't need a ride? There might be more of them around." This made Milim laugh, "Buwahahaha! Don't worry! Look at these sleeping goons. I could handle myself and besides haven't I told you that uninvited guests are not allowed to step a foot in their premises."

She approached Emma and Hina and hugs them.

"See 'ya again, Hii-chan! Em-chan! Bye-bye!"

"Take care, Milim-chan!"

"Thank you so much! Let's meet again!"

She bid her goodbyes and walk away. She is fast that Draken wasn't able to tell his thanks for protecting both Emma and Hina.

He is in a state of wonder. Two girls beat up nineteen high school boys, that are bigger and muscular than them. Just by hearing it makes it impossible. If they didn't arrive while they are still on the act, he won't believe it either.

"Who are they?" Mitsuya now asked the two remaining girls.

"The pink one is Milim-chan and the black-haired one is Kiriko-chan," Emma answered putting on the helmet Draken handed to her. Hina also accepted Mitsuya's helmet while Takemichi will ride with Hakkai. 

"Are they in a gang?" Draken asked but Emma shrugged, "I have no idea." Draken didn't pry any further.

"We'll leave them to you, Baji!"

"Yeah! I'll head to Mikey's after this!"

Three bikes left the area. Their minds are curious about the two girls who Emma and Hina befriended. While Milim is smiling ear to ear, happy that she made new friends and that Kiriko lost in her own brother's game.
