Vongola Underground Base, Shibuya Japan

Kiriko lazily lying on the sofa with a bunch of chips and street foods that my brother brought earlier when he arrived. Her head hung from the sofa and watching television from a different angle.

Hibari Kyoya, is Hibari Kiriko's older brother and one of the 10th Generation Guardians, holding the title of 'Independent Cloud', the two of them live in the Vongola's Underground Base together with Kyoya's Cloud Division.

"Kiriko, you have school in thirty minutes." Kiriko groaned when his brother, a former Disciplinarian Committee from his former school in Namimori, reminded her about school.

"I don't need to go to the school, Kyo-nii." she reasoned out which did not receive a positive look from Kyoya. He walks towards her and turned off the television which makes her rise from her comfortable position with her purple sharp eyes glaring at her brother.

"Kyo-nii!"

"Go outside. I don't care where you go just go outside." Kiriko groaned in frustration and grabbed a pillow, putting it on your face then screamed. Kyoya didn't care and throw her school bag on her face.

"Grab Milim as well when you go out."

Feeling defeated. Kiriko obeyed her brother who is tempted to throw her outside. She head towards her room and changed quickly into her school uniform. She also wore her favorite plain black hoodie and let her medium length ebony hair, she glanced over the mirror and noticed that her skin has gotten paler again. Must be because she is never leaving the base.

"I'm going!"

"Take Milim." Kiriko glared at him who is now busy wiping his precious tonfa guns. As she saw his guns, Kiriko also placed a pistol on her thighs where she has a small bag tied in there for a gun.

She storms out of the room and walks into the long metallic hallway. When she spotted the room where her friend, Milim is staying. She opens the door and caught her playing video games again. She is wearing their school uniform and maybe planning to go outside– not for school– but she was distracted with the games she never cleans.

Just like what her brother did to her. She pull the cable and that turned off the game. Milim roared loudly in frustration then turn her head, prepared to launch an attack on the person who disturbed her. But stops when she realized it was Kiriko.

"What an actual fuck, Kiri?! I was playing!"

"And I was resting. Now, come on. My brother orders us to get out in the base and have some vitamins from the sun."

"Hey, it is only applied to you, ya' know."

"Shut it."

Milim grabbed her bag and followed Kiriko outside. They have a long way just to go outside of this base. The place they live in is located underground. It has 16 floors, and as it is called the Vongola's Underground Base. It is literally located under the ground.

It is a replica of the ones in Namimori, Japan. Because they now reside in Shibuya for some reason. Hibari Kyoya orders to have an underground base in Shibuya for them to live in. Making it the headquarters of the Cloud Division that is under the command of Kiriko's brother.

"What entrance are we going to use?" Milim asked when they entered the elevator. Kiriko pushes the number B1F, "In abandoned warehouse. I want to stop by in a convenience store." she answered and Milim just hummed in response.

Only the B1F to B4F contains hatch elevators. The other important facilities that require confidentiality are on the lower levels. They are living in the B4F as it contains larger rooms and the only ones allowed on this floor are the higher-ups.

Surveillance cameras are scattered all over the surface of Shibuya and are also connected to and monitored at this Base. Other Vongola Bases, such as the Varia Headquarters, can contact this Base via a special code. It is a Vongola way. And considering this is still part of their ownership, that surveillance is nothing to be worried about.

The elevator opens and they head towards the exit. They saw few lower-ranking Cloud members who greeted the two fifteen-year-old girls who walk like they own the whole world. Confidence filling their whole selves, it is because of how they are taught. As part of a mafia, the powerful mafia Famiglia in Italy, they must show dignity and power radiates in every step they take.

"Have a nice day, Kiriko-chan! Milim-chan!"

"Yeah!"

"Hope it is."

The two girls exited their underground base and passed a few patrolling guards in the area, disguised as citizens. They are greeted by a gloomy, abandoned warehouse with a bunch of trashed cars in the area. They do not pay attention to it and simply walk away.

It was not that long when they get out from the abandoned warehouse where the entrance to their underground base is located. The two of them reached the convenience store.

"So, what are you going to get, Kiri-chan?" Milim asked Kiriko who suggested going to the convenience store. Kiriko look around and a stall caught her eyes.

A shelf was full of pancake-like patties that are made from castella wrapped around a filling of sweet azuki bean paste. Kiriko grabs a basket and heads to the stall and grabs a bunch of Dorayakis.

"AHH! KENCHIN! SHE IS HOARDING ALL OF THE DORAYAKI!"

Kiriko was stopped from hauling the whole shelf when she heard a loud voice. She turn her head and spotted a below-average boy with pitch-black piercing eyes and long blonde hair the hair on the sides moving freely. His finger pointed at her which she realizes.

"Mikey, stop causing a scene." behind him is an exceptionally tall guy, with his head shaved on both sides and back exposing a dragon tattoo on his temples, his blonde hair is long and tied in a neat braid, leaving a few strands on the front of his face.

Kiriko shifted her gaze towards the Dorayakis and continued hauling them until the shelf is empty. When she felt the two guys heading in her direction, she immediately head towards the cashier to pay for it.

"Kenchin! There is no dorayaki left!"

"I see that, Mikey. Let's just go to another store."

"But I want dorayaki, right now!"

Kiriko could feel the piercing gaze coming from her back. She pretended not to notice it, but it is bothering her. When the cashier finished putting the dorayaki in plastic. She asked for an extra plastic before handing her card. The cashier handed her one and turn around, noticing that Milim already bought something from the other counter. She counted the dorayaki and spotted the two guys earlier outside of the store, sitting on their bikes.

There she noticed what the two are wearing.

It looks like a uniform of a gang around the area. Kiriko has no interest in what is happening outside of Vongola. But the uniform is familiar.

Not that she cares.

"Hey, why are we still standing in front of the entrance?" she did not answer Milim and started approaching the two guys on their bikes. With the below-average boy still whining about dorayaki.

Stealthily, Kiriko put the plastic on the back of the guy's bike and pretended as nothing happened. Milim, of course, noticed it and grinned sheepishly about her friend's actions. She even unconsciously activated her habit of using her stealth skill when approaching someone. Kiriko really doesn't want to be noticed.

But helping her friend to socialize. She stops beside the bike where Kiriko placed half of her dorayaki's and pokes the guy sitting. The blonde man looks at her with a whining expression and Milim pointed the plastic bag on his back, then pointed over the walking Kiriko with her hood on and a plastic bag in her left hand. The guy looks at her with a confused expression then Milim has decided to follow her friend.

Hoping that the guy starts the next move.

Mikey is hungry.

Because Mikey is hungry, Draken suggested to go in the nearest convenience store and buy some food. When he asked Mikey, his friend happily answered his favorite snack, the dorayaki.

When they arrived at the convenience store. Their eyes landed on the shelf where the dorayaki are being displayed but spotted a girl hauling the whole shelf.

"AHH! KENCHIN! SHE IS HOARDING ALL OF THE DORIYAKIS!" is what Mikey said loudly, enough for the girl to turn her head to see who shouted it.

"Mikey, stop causing a scene."

Mikey and Draken were struck when they saw how pale the girl is. But her paleness is not sickening to look at, her round-doll-like amethyst eyes and her pinkish, close to reddish lips. Her hair is dark as ebony. A dark color that overpowers the others.

Draken intently looks at her, seeing an eye color much unusual in Japan. It doesn't seem like a contact. It looks natural.

But she turns her head again and goes back on hauling the dorayaki that brought back Mikey's sanity.

"KENCHIN! MY DORAYAKIS!"

They approach the girl. But the girl is fast enough to avoid them. Mikey is planning to approach her, with a frowny face and pouty lips. But Draken pulls him outside the store, preventing him from throwing a tantrum. The store is one of the only stores where they sell a large amount of dorayaki. And if they are branded as banned in the store, Draken will be the ones having a hard time.

They are now on their bikes, with Mikey still whining about the dorayaki that the girl just hoarded a moment ago. 

Draken noticed a glossy pink hair tied in pigtails girl who poked Mikey's shoulders, the whining blonde-haired friend of his turns his head to her who pointed a plastic behind him then pointed the girl, not that far from them with the same plastic on her left hand. After that, the pink head girl left, following the black-haired one. 

"AH! IT IS A DORAYAKI KENCHIN!" 

"A dorayaki?" Draken looks again at the two girls. Did that black-haired one give it to Mikey? 

"Lucky! It has 30 dorayaki!" 

Setting aside the girl who gave it to Mikey. Draken is thankful that he won't throw sudden tantrums for not having dorayaki in his lunch. 

"Let's go now, Mikey," Draken called his friend who is now munching two dorayaki on both hands. 

"Do you know that girl, Kenchin?" he asked after finishing the first two dorayaki. Draken shrugged, "No. I don't." 

Draken started the engine of his bike, "Hey, let's go now Mikey,"

His blonde-haired friend, the President of Tokyo Manji Gang, Sano Manjiro aka. Mikey smiled with a dorayaki on his hand, "I would like to see her again." 

"Ha?" 

Mikey simply grinned, "We hoarded all of those doriyakis. If she becomes my friend, I could feel that I would have a stack of free dorayaki!" 

Draken simply sighed and the two of them leaves the store. Mikey's interest was spurred by a girl who bought all of dorayaki's in the store.
