Mikey approached the mother of his childhood friend, bowing his head, apologizing for what happened. After he had a one-way talk with Draken. Mitsuya followed the two and told them about Baji's mother arriving in the lounge. The two leaders pay their respects to the woman who lost her son because of their fight. They expected her to shout at them, insult and blame them. But it didn't happen. Instead, the woman wrapped both of her arms on the two kneeling friends of her deceased son. Muttering a word of thanks for being a friend of her son. Tears run from her eyes as she tightly embraces her son's friends. 

She knows about them. Keisuke, her son, never failed to tell her his day without mentioning his gang, Toman. He proudly tells her the ventures they did that day with a sparkle visible in his eyes. She is glad that her son considers them as his friends, true friends in fact. 

She told the two to be strong, and she will be too. Then she left the two Toman leaders still in the daze of what happened. 

"Let's go to Kiricchi, Kenchin." Mikey said to Draken and rose from his seat and head towards the room where his girl is being placed. Draken followed Mikey, they arrived in Kiriko's room only to see the Toman members outside of the room with their eyes inside of the room. 

"What is wrong?" Draken asked Mitsuya. The two looked at the inside of the room and saw two adults wearing a suit, the triplets are also inside and talking to a tall man. They couldn't see their faces since their back are facing them. 

"He is Kiriko-san's older brother." The two were shocked at what Mitsuya just told them. 

The mysterious brother of their female friend who hates crowds. His back already gives a 'go away' vibes. He is standing beside the hospital bed where Kiriko is lying and resting after her operation just a few hours ago. Besides Kiriko's older brother is an adult as well with a pompadour. He seems to be working for the older Hibari. 

"Mikey---!" Mitsuya called his friend when he started to enter the room. Followed by Draken behind him Mitsuya could already foresee what they will do and decided to come along. Hakkai is following Mitsuya while the Kawata twins are following Hakkai. 

"She will be moved in the Butterfly Estate---" the pompadour man noticed the presence who dared to enter when his master is inside. There he saw six young men standing behind them. Kusakabe Tetsuya mentally sweatdropped seeing that they are crowding in the presence of the Cloud who technically hates it. 

"Mikey-san, Draken-san. I suggest you both come later after this." Ryuuji politely said to them that Kusakabe is being thankful. Hibari Kyoya is in a foul mood the moment Kusakabe fetched him in their helipad. 

He tried to ask where he was and he briefly answered China. He came to the conclusion that he had a talk with the Storm Arcobaleno, Fon, which happens to be a Hibari relative. He decided not to ask further questions since the aura that the Cloud Guardian is sending definitely reached him. 

But that did not reach these youngsters. 

The tall braided blonde bowed his head, followed by the others behind him. They all looked at them confusingly when the braided blonde started to talk. 

"It's our fault. She was attacked because she's been dragged into our conflict. We have no excuses." 

Of course, in their point of view, Kiriko was attacked because of their gang fight. But the triplets and Kusakabe both know that the gang is not at the fault here. Kiriko fought against a mafia member and a mafia prisoner escapee. 

But they couldn't tell the boys that they are not at fault. It is against their code of silence. 

That is why they remained silent. 

In Draken's perspective. The silence of the two adults in front of them means fuming anger that they couldn't find the words to speak. 

"Hibari-san..." they heard someone call. Their heads all turn to the one who said it and saw Milim with her knuckles treated. Her eyes show no light, it was dead... similar to Mikey's. 

She started walking towards the Hibari's. Not giving a glance at the boys that are in the center of the path. She stops then kneeled on the floor. 

"Nava-san!" 

"Milim!" the boys are surprised by her sudden action. 

"I failed to protect Kiri-chan." she said while bowing her head, "I accept any punishment." 

Hearing her words, Draken step forward and was about to kneel beside the pink-headed when Ouzou is suddenly beside him and stop him from doing so, "What are you doing?!" Draken asked and Ouzou shook his head. 

"Let her be," he said. Draken looked at him with a confused look on his face, "It's not her fault! It should be us---" Ouzou's grip on his arms tightened. Silently pleading to stop. 

"She wants to express her apology. Let's just respect it," he added that made the braided blonde obey his plead. Mikey did not move an inch in his position. They are now waiting for the adult Hibari in front of them, still not turning around to show his face. He is looking at his only sister in the hospital bed. 

"What incompetency did you perform, Milim Nava." 

The man started to talk in a language that is different from Japanese. 

"I left her side," Milim answered under the same language that made the boys curious about the conversation unfolding in front of them and between the two. 

"That is right. You left her side." the man now turns his body, facing the kneeling girl. 

His narrow gray eyes with an intimidating permanent on his look glance over the pink-headed girl who remained her head low, "It was my mistake." Milim said, "I accept any kind of punishment." she added.  

The man did not speak. He simply stared at the girl who is asking for punishment, for not being able to protect her master.

The master-servant relationship in mafia is normal. Even the Decimo couldn't escape it from having the Storm Guardian. He may not be talking about it, but Kyoya knows the loyalty of the Storm Guardian to the Decimo is beyond.

And Milim Nava in front of him is almost the same to the Storm Guardian.

They are both willing to lay their life on the hand to protect their masters. They are also most-likely the one who will be in a verge of entering darkness once their masters are gone.

Kyoya could see it from her eyes. The lifeless and dead eyes that this girl currently has shows what she could accomplish if his sister dies today—

she will most likely commit a mass murder.

"You know what to do."

Kyoya said and walk past through her when a small herbivore with his head low blocked his path, making him look at him with his sharp and usual narrowed eyes.

"It's not her fault. The whole ordeal was caused by my gang." he lifted his head and Kyoya mentally gasp, "I am responsible for all of this. Relay the punishment you verdict to me. She is simply dragged in the situation." he added.

He maintained his composure as he sent a glare to the boy.

"You are?" he asked with intimidation laced into it. This time he spoke in his native language— Japanese. The others are a bit surprised to hear him speak in their language since they are a bit shocked on hearing the two conversing in Italian, which they do not know.

Mikey now is properly looking at the man and answered plainly, "Mikey... Tokyo Manji Gang's President."

"Hn," Kyoya replied then look over his sister on the hospital bed. Then scanned the boys that are also present in the room, wearing similar uniforms.

"So it's you..." he said remembering that his sister has been acquainted with a gang that is currently ruling the Shibuya. It is also the gang where she's been tasked to infiltrate to find out who among the delinquents are working with the Yllona Family.

Draken and Mitsuya now took this chance to step forward and bow their heads.

"We apologize that this happened to your sister."

"Kiriko-san is our friend. We should've protected her better." they both said.

Kyoya being Kyoya ignored their apology. But Kusakabe pats their shoulders.

"Kyo-san may not look like it. But he appreciates the apology. There is nothing we can do now but to wish Kiriko-san's fast recovery." he said to the two.

"It is her decision." Ouzou started to say that made their eyes turn to him, "She has no intention of pulling over when she already started something. That's the kind of person she is." he walk towards Mikey, with his face still showed no emotions when Ouzou pats his back a bit hard, "If you really feel sorry— you better know what you will answer when she wakes up."

Mikey's eyes twitch and he looked at the man.

"Didn't you have a deal with Kiriko-chan?" Ryuuji added, helping Mikey to remember the very whole reason for Kiriko's appearance during the fight.

Draken and the others seemed to remember as well.

"Mikey! Why didn't you tell us about that?" Draken asked Mikey.

Mikey answered flatly, "I did not expect her to come for real." then lowly added, "More like I am hoping she wouldn't."

Kota now approached Mikey, "Kiriko is not a type of person who will get back down on her own words." he looked at Mikey and finished, "If she says she will go, she will go. Now, to make up to her, give her a proper answer once she wakes up."

Mikey did not answer.

Kyoya observes the crowd, a bit far from the scene. Kusakabe is still in the crowd that makes him even more irritated. He glared at the man and thankfully, Kusakabe understood the message of his glare and immediately walk towards him.

"Kyo-san?"

"Move her in the Butterfly Estate when those herbivores leave." he only said to him before he send a look to the triplets who also understood him and nodded. When he saw the triplets responding. He started to walk away from the room, leaving the crowd that is forming while Kusakabe will take care of Kiriko's transfer.

Takemitchi is on his way back to the room where the others are when he noticed a man wearing a suit and an intimidating with an irritated expression on his face coming from where the purple-eyed friend of his is being placed.

He set it aside and decided not to bother him because of the aura he felt from him that makes him crawl on the ground in fright. He entered the room and now saw the triplets with an adult with a pompadour hairstyle present in the room.

"Kiriko-san will be moved in the Butterfly Estate under Kyo-san's commands. But we will let you visit her for now before we move her."

"W-Wait! You're moving her to a different hospital?" Mitsuya asked the man and he responded with a nod.

"It is a medical facility under the name of the Family. It is only normal for her to be in there and recover under their doctors," he answered to the man trying to filter it as he can.

But the shock is still present to the boys.

"A medical facility owned by her family?!"

"Is her family rich?"

"You've seen those Ducati's last time right?"

Remembering the expensive Ducati's that the Hibari's rides confirmed their speculation of Hibari Kiriko being a rich kid.

"Milim-san, please stand up." Kusakabe tries to make the girl stand up from her kneeling but refused. She did not talk or even pay attention to him at all. She simply stayed in there, facing the hospital bed where her best friend is lying, apologizing with her whole being in the ground.

Mikey is standing beside her kneeling figure and looked intently at the dark-haired girl in the hospital bed with bandages on her body. He flinches when he remembered the scene where Kiriko fell on her knees, unable to stand any longer from enduring the pain of her wound.

If he had just come to his senses earlier, she would have been treated sooner.

He blames himself for not noticing while Milim blames herself for trusting her words.

But what she can do?

She got passed to the border of the boundaries, where she is in a position to command her not as a friend, but as a person who has higher standing than her.

"I... believed her..." she started to speak. Everyone in the room, including Kusakabe heard her speaking turn their head to her.

"She said... she is alright... what a fool I am..." they saw droplets of water falling to the floor, "Why would I believe her despite the cover she is showing?" she now raised her head looking at her friend lying in a hospital bed, "But can you blame me?"

She titled her head now looking at the people behind her. There they saw how vulnerable she is. Her earlier dead eyes are no longer present, but show her regrets in one glance.

"I... I wanted to be praised by her... tell me that I did a great job..." her tears continue to fall as she said loudly, "I just want her to praise me again! I just want to—" she started hiccuping. She couldn't finish her sentence as she sobbed and cried.

Kota puts his hand over her back and gently pats it.

"She will praise you." he said, "She will definitely praise you once she opens her eyes."

Milim couldn't take it and cry loudly. Not caring if she looks like a kid weeping on the floor. Kota comforts her by gently patting her back. While the others watch the scene. The Toman members are feeling guilty, seeing the girl crying so hard because they weren't able to protect them.

What are they fighting for if they couldn't protect?

Ryuuji then realizes the impact will be on the pink-headed girl if Kiriko died. If they didn't manage to prevent her death. If she does really leave the world— her loyal follower will disappear, and possibly become an underground mass murderer.

Kiriko's death is the main reason for Milim Nava's disappearance.

Now that she's been saved...

Will Milim still be missing in the future they are heading now?
