"Kiriko-san, Kyo-san is asking for you in his office."

Kiriko simply nod her head to Kusakabe-san when they reached the base. Milim excused herself to rest in her room, so they parted their ways and Kiriko entered the Hibari base.

With a paper bag in her hand where her spoiled dress is. She entered the room where her brother resides. There she is greeted by her brother, cleaning his favorite tonfa.

"I'm back,"

"I can see." Kiriko simply snorted and put down the bag.

"You made me wear it to see if I could stay out of trouble, right?"

But Kyoya did not respond, "Kyo-nii!"

"I simply want to see your expression." A tick mark appeared on Kiriko's forehead, wanting to throw anything solid and heavy towards her brother.

"We have an order." her irritation was set aside when she heard what he said, "From?" she asked.

Kyoya put down his weapon, "From Tsunayoshi Sawada."

The Decimo. Kiriko thought. A direct order from the Boss of the Famiglia.

"Spill it."

He opened the hologram device and there is a video order for the Cloud Division.

"Hibari-san, I have a request."

Kiriko heard the familiar voice of their boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi, his orange sky flame on his head is a symbol that this is an official order. The legitimacy of the Vongola command.

"The Yllona Family is making their move. We have discovered they are in Japan and gathering alliances with small delinquent gangs. They are planning to drag innocent people in a mafia war."

Yllona Famiglia, a year ago. During one of the Vongola Gatherings that the Decimo hosted for the bonds of the family members to strengthen (it is also a reason for the Vongola Decimo and the 10th Generation Guardians come together in one place), a rising mafia family announced their existence. Claiming the position of the Vongola Family.

"I want you to handle the Yllona in Japan. They surely got contact with some delinquents in there, giving them assurance for both financial and strength support only to be thrown away if they already fulfilled their worth. The casualties that the Intelligence Team has reported already reached fifty people and ten percent of them are minors who are part of a small gang in Japan. They made it unrelated as they can from them and these delinquents took the blame."

The flames on his forehead are getting stronger, "I am counting on you, Hibari-san." that is the end of the video message.

"I received a report from the Vice President that you recently become acquainted with some delinquents."

He is still checking tabs on me, "Yes, so I did."

"You eliminated one hassle on your way. Your job is to find those delinquents that might be connected to the Yllona's. Simple, right?" Simple, huh.

It is like an infiltration plan.

"I understand. Is this mission only for me or I will be with a companion or company?" she asked.

"You can drag that Sun Division girl. As for a company, Sawada Tsunayoshi might sometime send you some."

It might be the others. She thought.

In their Famiglia, there are only six of them that are almost the same age. That is why they are comfortable with each other and eventually became friends and allies.

Milim Nava, her best friend who left the Sun Division just to be with her.

Adele and Archid Walter, are called Ady and Kid and are twins. They are from the Mist Division.

Ernest Echavalier is from the Storm Division.

Lastly is Killua Zoldyck, he is from the Lightning Division and also part of the outside division; the Hunters.

Aside from them, the remaining members are all adults.

"Is that all of it?" she asked.

"From now on, attend your classes regularly." this shocked her.

"What happened and why are you telling me to do the thing you never really pay attention to?" Kiriko asks.

"This order is still related to the mission. Being a student is a perfect disguise and alibis in time of need. Make your presence be known as a student." that is what he said and she knows she wouldn't get an additional answer on him.

She excused herself to go on her room and Kyoya simply let her.

She checked her wristwatch and turned on her assistance system. A small hologram appeared on the top of her watch with a Vongola crest on the upper left side of the hologram. The assistance system is built by Irie Shoichi who thought of a way to borrow the idea of smartphones and turn it into a much easier to bring than them. A wristwatch that is altered to enter the assistance system has been given by Vongola members as their welcoming present.

She checked the inbox and there she saw the group chat that they created. She entered her room before opening the messages.

10/10/05

Kid: Hey, someone checked my Facebook account. Does anyone know this person?

Ady: You're still checking your account? What a kid. An embodiment of your name.

Kid: Ha? How wouldn't I be if the system that Ernie added on my Vongola Watch notified me?!

Killua: I was notified as well. But I don't know her.

Ady: Her? Its a girl? Let me check it!

Ady: Got her! The name is Sano Emma and she is living in Shibuya.

Kid: @Kiri you and Hibari-san are in Shibuya right?

Milim: HEY! I'M WITH THEM!

Ernest: She is. I'll send her the data.

Emma Sano

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Birthday: November 25, 1991

Blood Type: B

Height: 150cm (4'11')

Ady: I am happy that you know me personally, Ernie.

Ernest: I'll pretend I didn't read that.

Ernest: So, back to the topic. Who knows this girl and why did she visit our accounts?

Killua: Not me. I've been in a job for the past three months. I have no time to indulge myself in a girl.

Ady: There is none other than me here in the base that is the same age as me!

Kid: There is none other than me here in the base that is the same age as me! (2)

Milim: Dunno!!!

Ernest: That leaves Kiri.

Ady: @Kiri, give us a sign!

Kid: Ady will treat you dorayaki when she sees you @Kiri.

Ady: Yeah, we'll use Kid's wallet for that.

Kid: Stay away from my wallet!

10/11/05

Milim: I KNOW THE GIRL NOW! KIRI-CHAN AND I JUST MET HER EARLIER!

Ernest: Just as I have thought. But I am not expecting it to be Kiri.

Killua: She is not the type like Milim and Ady.

Ady: Why does that sound like an insult coming from Killua?

Kid: It probably does not 'sounds like it's a fact, Ady.

Milim: Does that includes me as well, KID.

Kid left the chat.

Ady added Archid Walter.

Ady changed Archid Walter into Kid.

Ady: Oh oh. No running my brother.

Ernest: So, what is her deal?

Milim: Nothing special. She simply wants to meet Kiri-chan. Something like if she is the girl that her brother met up with?

Ady: And what did Kiri answer?

Milim: That she is.

Ady: WHAT?! SERIOUSLY? HEY! SPILL THE DETAILS!!!

Kid: Announcement, Adele Walter is showing the signs of mental illness. She needs to be confined.

Ady: MILIIIIMMMM!!! DID SHE REALLY?!

Ady: DID KIRI REALLY MET UP WITH A BOY?!

Ady: A BOYYYYYY!!!!!!

Killua: I'm out.

Ernest: This will take longer.

Kid: Sorry bros.

Kiriko absentmindedly massaged her temples.

Despite them being not in the same room as her. Just reading their messages makes her tired. What more if all of them are in the same room?

Tiredness. Total tiredness.

She already experienced this at every Vongola gathering.

She threw herself on her bed and put down the paper bag on the side of the table. There she realizes that the hoodie she is wearing is not hers.

Mikey's refreshing scent lingers in the cloth. It is very calming. Kiriko feels like she is still hugging Mikey. She abruptly open her eyes and rose from her bed, with fully warm cheeks and blinking eyes.

"Just what am I thinking?" she asked herself unsure.

Her mind is getting dominated by a certain blonde-haired boy who is addicted to dorayaki.

He is worried... Kiriko remember Mikey's expression when they arrived on the scene. He rushed towards Emma with no hesitation. He did not even give a glance at the bastards they are beating with. He could only see Emma...

Why does it sound so different? she asked herself. If she doesn't know the two, she might jump to the conclusion that Emma and Mikey are in a romantic relationship. She made herself remember that and she put a pillow above her face.

Mikey's bike. Mikey's back. Mikey's house. Mikey's room. Mikey's clothes.... she could feel her cheeks getting warmer, much warmer than before.

Just sleep Kiriko! what she needed the most is sleep. Why can't Mikey let her sleep?
