"Let's end this, Mikey! Will you die or will I?!"

After Kazutora talked, he was immediately punched by Mikey. 

"If all you can do is destroy what's precious to me... then I will destroy you." he kicked Kazutora without mercy. Like a ball being passed to others, but instead, Mikey is doing all the work. 

Mikey then sat down on Kazutora's stomach then raised his fist then punched the lying man continually. Who showed no mercy at all. His eyes were so hollow and unreadable, you could not determine the state of his mind as he continue punching Kazutora not giving damn care if he somehow kill him. 

No one dared to interrupt the Toman's President, not even Draken who is stunned on the scene. 

"He'll kill him at this rate," Smiley said with sweat running from his forehead. Not really like what this scene might end.

"No one can stop Mikey now..." 

Blood splattered on where Kazutora and Mikey are. All coming from the beaten-up Kazutora who seemed to be losing consciousness from Mikey's mercilessly punching his face. Draken's words flashed on Takemitchi's mind. Seeing how the current timeline is starting to lead on the future he is trying to prevent. 

Am I... Takemitchi lowered down his head as his tears continue to fall down from his eyes Am I really this powerless?! he scolded himself for being weak and not strong enough to stop Mikey from killing Kazutora. 

Kiriko watches from the top of the cars, she wanted to move but the wound on her back keeps on stinging. She could also feel the warm liquid called blood dripping from her jacket. There is already a pool of blood starting to form underneath her. But no one noticed it, their attention is all focused on Mikey. 

He can't kill him. She said to herself and started to step forward. She winced and immediately masked it with a straight expression. Moving slowly but was careful to not let her wound worse than before. 

Milim noticed her moving and stood up from her seat. Now standing beside her friend. 

"Kiri-chan... you are losing too much blood," she said to her but Kiriko did not answer. Not that she doesn't want to, she just can't since just standing takes a lot of her energy. She stops when she reached Baji's unconscious body. Besides Chifuyu did not notice the girl's presence at all since he is preoccupied with the man's condition who furrowed his brows. A sign that he is gaining consciousness already. 

Milim pull the girl's hand and put it over her head, supporting her to stand, "At least let me support you Kiri-chan. I'm your follower..." she said almost ending up as a whisper. Kiriko smiled and let her friend do what she wants. Not that she has enough energy to retort after moving around too much. 

"Mikey..." 

Chifuyu could not believe his eyes, "Baji...san..." 

Slowly, he stands up all wobbly and dizzy, "MIKEY!!!" he shouted stopping Toman's President from punching Kazutora. Baji is still coughing blood, followed by Kiriko's silent cough which also releases blood. Milim is getting worried. 

She scanned the area and saw the triplets who are also looking intently at their cousin. 

"Do you think we already prevented her death?" Ouzou asked his brothers. 

"I hope so... you already give her a sun flame, right, Kota-kun?" Ryuuji asked Kota who nodded, "Yes. But I am not sure that the flames are enough. I didn't manage to look how deep her stab is." 

Ouzou is starting to get worried, "That is worrying. We need to get closer to her." with that Ouzou started leaping car from the car but was blocked by Kisaki and his henchman. 

"Where are you three going. You are not from Toman." his tone laced with threat but has no effect on the triplets who did not even give him a glance and continue to leap to the other car. Only to get grabbed by Kisaki's henchman who got beaten by Baji a few moments ago. 

But Ouzou--- the owner of the hand he grabbed--- is not wasting any time and pulls his hand that is holding him and throw him on the other side. Kisaki is shocked, Hamada is thrice as his big, and yet he lifted him without any sweat.  

"Don't get in our way," Kota whispered to Kisaki's ears sending shivers all over his bones. He clenched his teeth and gritted it annoyed and furious at how they did not give him care at all despite being a 3rd Squad Captain. 

Mikey who got stopped turn his head and saw Baji now standing on his feet.  

Forgetting about Kazutora. Mikey started walking while his eyes did not leave the sight of his bloodied childhood friend who is grinning at him. 

"You got mad... for my sake..." he is smiling widely with his eyes closed, "Thank you." 

"You gotta stay down! Baji-san!" Baji gently shoved Chifuyu out of his way and get down from the cars with blood trailing on his every step. Finally reaching the ground, he now continues his way towards the stunned Mikey.  

"Baji!" 

"But..." Baji continued walking slowly then he walked past Mikey, "I... won't die..." he said stopping in front of Kazutora that is lying on the ground. 

"This wound ain't gonna kill me!" but his words are not really convincing seeing how much blood he is already losing just by standing. 

"So don't worry about it, Kazutora." he took out a knife from his pockets, "I... won't die..." raising the knife he finished,  "... by your hands!"  and without a moment of hesitation. He stabbed himself through his abdomen thrusting it deeply. Surprising everyone in the vicinity.

Baji falls down with his hand connected to the knife that he pierced on his own stomach. Chifuyu running shouting the name of the man hurriedly. When he reached Baji, he immediately lifted his upper body with tears now present in his eyes, "Why?!" 

Takemitchi is standing behind Chifuyu still not processing what just Baji did. While Kazutora walks to Mikey. 

"Mikey..." he raised his head full of tears and blood from his nose, "You're next! You're gonna die along with him!" 

"Shut up." his eyes showing a black deep abyss turn to him, "I'll beat you to death!" 

Kiriko clutches Milim's clothes. 

"Go in there," she ordered that surprised the pink-headed girl. 

"What? But you are---!" 

"It is not a request but an order." Her eyes glowed with threat as she repeated what she said, "Milim Nava, go in there and save that guy." 

Milim shivered. It's been a while since she felt this from her. Her predator and fairy-like eyes make every person listen to her commands. This is the day... that Milim remembered the position Hibari Kiriko is holding. 

"Affirmative... Captain," she answered with her head low. Taking off the support she is giving to her and rushed where Chifuyu is bawling his eyes along with the crybaby blonde. 

Kiriko watches her do what she commanded. Milim gritted her teeth frustratedly. She doesn't want to leave her. She wants to stay by her side. Her guts tell her so. 

"I'm leaving them in your hand..." that is what she heard the moment she reached them. She kneeled beside Chifuyu who did not notice her presence at all. With the tip of her nail, she summoned a piece of her Dragon Knuckles and ignited a dying will flame. 

Baji noticed the girl, "Hey. What'cha doin' in here... watching me die?..." he asked when he saw a pink-haired girl with her eyes being covered with her bangs. Chifuyu looked at her who is surprised to see Milim beside him. 

"Shut up. You won't die." she showed her eyes, staring sharply at the idiot man now just a few steps in the afterlife's door, "I was ordered to keep you alive." she said and pointed her Dragon Nails coated with a sun flame on his stab wound. Hiding it from the knife still attached to his abdomen. 

"Kiri-chan ordered me to save you. I will never let her down." 

Baji grinned, "Haha... do what you want... can't really understand a thing you said..." he said to the pink-haired girl who did not reply anymore. He called the name of his Vice-Captain, "Chifuyu..." 

"Yes?..." 

"I'd kill for some peyoung yakisoba right now..." 

"I'll buy you some." 

"We'll split it, right?" Chifuyu couldn't reply back as he is already crying. Baji smiled with tears also present in both of his eyes, "Thank you... Chifuyu." 

You won't die... Milim made the flame even larger. I won't let the order fail. 

Baji stopped moving. Chifuyu is breathing heavily. Don't want to accept what he is thinking right now. His mind stopped working already seeing the face of his Captain closed eyes and no longer breathing. He cried, "BAJI-SAN!!!" he shouted in grief holding tightly the body of the man. His cry is enough to tell everyone what is his current condition. 

Baji Keisuke... died. 

Milim made the flame even larger. Larger and larger. Ryuuji appeared behind her holding her wrist to calm her down. Milim felt his hand but did not stop her from providing flames to the man. Instead, he is covering her flames not to be seen by the people in the vicinity. 

"Continue feeding him the flames... don't stop," he whispered to her and she obliged. She has no intention to stop even if the man is no longer breathing. She received the order to keep him safe...

and she won't let down her Master.

Now losing the final string that holds him back. Mikey punched Kazutora full of rage. 

"I will kill you! Die!" he shouted to the man who he is not giving a break from his attacks. He has no intention of stopping at all. Kazutora is starting to lose consciousness his eyes showing all white, still accepting Mikey's punches when someone stopped his fist to connect on Kazutora's face. 

His eyes widen in surprise to see a dark-haired girl with her glowing sharp purple orbs. 

"Stop," she commanded only. Mikey looked at her with a menacing gaze, "Move, Kiricchi." 

But she didn't listen, "No." she answered. 

"I'll punch you." 

"Then punch." she challenged, "Punch me, Sano Manjiro." 

With an ominous look he said, "Get out of my sight, Hibari Kiriko." 

But none of the two sides are backing down with their glares. Both are standing firm, with Kiriko's hand on Mikey's fist. They exchanged threatening glares and none of them are affected of it. 

It was surprising and frightening. The ground where the two are filled a heavy tension coming from the two. 

"Stay out of my way." 

"Then cool your head." 

"I said---" Mikey could not finish his sentence when he noticed a blood trailed from the girl's mouth. He bring his eyes on the ground and found a pool of blood dripping from the girl's back. She coughed with blood that made him unable to process what to do next. The same situation that happened a few moments ago. Baji coughing blood, now cold dead. Mikey could not process the situation on his mind. His hanging fist slowly coming down. 

Kiriko noticed him starting to calm down. She smiled softly. 

"Don't do something you will regret later on... Mikey," she said before her knees gave up. 

"KIRIKO!" the crowd heard a loud call with two identical faces running towards the kneeling girl who is panting heavily. 

Ouzou who finally reached her took off her jacket and saw her whole top being drenched with blood. 

"RYUUJI! CALL AN AMBULANCE! THE BUTTERFLY ESTATE! ANYTHING! HURRY UP!" he frantically yelled to his brother beside Milim who is already calling the Butterfly Estate. Calming himself despite his hands shaking. 

His phone fell from his grip. He hissed and used both hands to contact the medical team handled by the Vongola. 

Takemitchi is shivering. 

"Hibari...san...?" he muttered seeing the girl in front of the unmoving Mikey with two of her cousins trying to put pressure to the wound on her back using her jacket. But seemed to be no use as the blood continue to trail their way down on the ground. 

Mitsuya finally snapped out from the trance and approached the bleeding girl. 

"What happened to her?!" he asked and help Ouzou on putting pressure on the girl's back. Ouzou looked over Kota who is not giving a glance to Mitsuya, focused on giving Kiriko a Sun's Flame under the jacket, covering it from the crowd. 

"She's been attacked earlier." Ouzou answered, half-lying about the cause of the wound. Mitsuya cursed with tears falling down his eyes, "Fuck! Baji just died! We can't handle two deaths in one day!" he said putting more pressure to the wound. 

"JUST WHERE IS THAT FUCKING AMBULANCE!" he yelled in frustration. 

The others also started to move, approaching Baji and Kiriko. 

"CALL AN AMBULANCE AGAIN!" 

"BAJI!!!" 

"YOU SHIT HOLE! WHO SAID YOU CAN DIE?!" 

Smiley, Angry and Peh-yan is now kneeling beside Chifuyu who is still crying. Draken pulled Mikey who is now not moving from the shock. 

"Mikey! Wake up! Damn it!" 

"Kiriko-san! Hang in there! Please!" Mitsuya pleaded while the two among the triplet Hibari's continue to hold the wound.

"This is not enough to kill me... shut your whimpering," she mumbled.

"Baji said the same thing! Why do you even like that kind of phrase?!" Draken shouted with his voice caught in his throat and tears ran down his face. Still could not accept that his friend left the world a few moments ago. And that the girl who became close with Toman, most especially to Mikey and Emma is now in a verge of ending up the same as Baji. 

"Mikey..." she called raising her head to look at the blonde who is still not moving. But when he heard her voice he turn his head to meet her purple eyes. Kiriko smiled softly as she could finally see Mikey's face. 

"Don't let yourself get clouded by your own emotions... you don't wanna carry a burdensome guilt in the future..." she said and closed her eyes, "I'm fucking tired..." 

"No! Open your eyes! Don't you dare close that!" Draken yelled at her. Scared that she might not open it again. 

"I'm not dying yet. I'm just resting..." she furrowed her brows and chuckled at their reactions, "Dying and resting are a whole different thing... somehow..." she said not really making sense.

"Just stop talking, please." Mitsuya pleaded with his hands now trembling in fear losing another friend of his. He may not be close to the girl. He is already aware of how important her existence in Mikey's life.

Mikey always whined for not having a chance to send her home. Mikey who wants to hang out with her in ever chance he could. Mikey who always make the purple-eyed girl being the center of their talks.

"Stay alive, Kiriko-san." he repeated put more pressure in the wound.

Kota tightly grips Kiriko's free hand as his other hand is placed underneath the covered jacket providing her wound a Sun Flame, "Just hold it... please... just a little bit more..." he muttered enough for Kiriko to hear. 

"Kiri-chan!" she then heard Milim's cracked voice, "You will.. You will praise me after this... that's why... you need to praise me..." she chuckled. She always praise Milim when she accomplish her orders. 

"Will do..." she said her eyes closing and her body almost fall in the ground, showing that she is no longer conscious. Her hand is starting to feel cold, Mitsuya and Ouzou noticed her nails starting to get purple. 

"PEH! SANZU! MUCHO! GRAB THAT FUCKING AMBULANCE! LIFT THEIR FUCKING VAN IF NEEDED!" 

They moved under Draken's orders who is frantically yelling commands to every Toman members to help the injured victims. Each of them followed his orders, with their President still not moving. His eyes filled with empty darkness. 

Baji... Kiricchi... 

October 31st... a dreadful day for Toman indeed...
