2005 - October 30 

Kiriko and Milim were called into the training ground no. 39. The two are wondering what they are supposed to do in one of the deep training grounds that only a few personnel such as higher-ranking members are allowed to? 

Not that they are not allowed. Kiriko is the Vice-Commander and Milim already gained her reputation in the Cloud Division. 

"Kusakabe-san, what are we doing in here?" Kiriko asked the loyal follower of her brother. Kusakabe-san smiled at the two with an excited look on his face, "Kyo-san has something for the both of you." he said that made them even more curious about the reason. The ground of the training ground started to move, it opened and revealed a two sports motorbike. The two blinked in confusion and wonder. While Kusakabe-san is smiling so wide like a proud father. 

"Kyo-san wanted to give the both of you a normal bike!" 

The two then understand what it meant. Kiriko remembered what she said after her report the night she relayed the information she got from Toman's 3rd Squad Captain nomination ceremony. 

Milim is the first one to recover and whistled and approached the expensive-looking motorbikes. 

"Dude! A Ducati Multistrada 620! This is not for a 15-year-old motorbike to use!" 

Kiriko also walks towards the white motorbike just beside the red one. She looked at it and recognized the model of the bike. She mentally gulped at the sight of it. 

"Bro! It's a DUCATI Monster S4R!" Milim shouted. Kiriko sighed and looked at Kusakabe-san who is still wearing a proud look on his whole face. 

"Kyo-san bought it for the both of you!" 

Can I punch my brother? 

Kiriko wishes to have her own motorbike. But not to the extent of using expensive ones. 

"We gotta thank Hibari-san!" Milim is jumping up and down in delight of having a normal motorbike. If it should be considered as one. They only owned the Vongola's air bike that is much more peculiar than this. 

"Can I ask where my brother is?" 

"Unfortunately, he is not in the base," Kusakabe-san answered the young Hibari who let out an exasperated sigh. 

"Let's ride, Kiri-chan!" Milim suggested with her puppy eyes to convince her best friend. Kiriko who is kind of 'weak' in cutesy acts gave in so quickly. Kusakabe offered to bring the bikes outside and the two left the training ground and head to the warehouse hatch only to bump with the triplets that are all in a motorbike as well. 

"WOHOO! IS THAT A KAWASAKI NINJA ZX-6R?!" Milim rushed towards the three who are sitting on their respective bikes. Ouzou smirked at the pink head. 

"Kyoya-nii's present to us." 

"No way! We also received ours!" As if it is the signal. The small portion of the ground in the warehouse opens and an elevated platform appeared with two motorbikes along with. Ryuuji whistled at the sight of the bikes. While Milim basically throws herself into her new Ducati Multistrada 620.

"What is this? An early Halloween gift from Kyoya-nii?" Ryuuji asked while Kusakabe handed the keys to Milim and Kiriko. 

"I am not sure... he simply ordered me to buy motorbikes enough for all of you." Ryuuji and Kiriko shared the same thoughts. He surely picked the ones on the top of the search results. 

Kiriko felt tired from the whole thing, "Thank you for this Kusakabe-san. I'll make sure to send my thanks to my brother once he gets back." 

"Thankie! Thankie! Kusakabe-san!" 

Ryuuji started the engine of his green Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, "Then let's give these babies around in Shibuya." 

Ouzou followed beside him sitting on his red Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, "Let Milim lead the way. I don't want to get lost." and Kota simply agreed following his two younger brothers along with his yellow Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. Milim laughed and now starting the engine of her red Ducati Multistrada 620 "Then go behind me you assholes! How am I supposed to lead the way if you're all in the way?" 

Kiriko sighed and put on her jacket to protect her from the cold. She started her white Ducati Monster S4R, following Milim with Kota beside her. While Ryuuji and Ouzou are in front of them. The five left the warehouse to try their new (and expensive) motorbikes. With Kusakabe-san almost chase them when they forgot the most important thing when riding a motorbike— their helmets.

"I just hope they won't cause an accident," he murmured with five helmets that happen to fit on both of his arms. How did that happen? He is trained to carry a bunch of papers and things that Kyoya likes but doesn't want to carry.

Milim is on the lead, followed by Ryuuji and Ouzou then behind them are Kiriko and Kota. The two people behind savor the cold wind that brushes on their bare skin. It's been a while since they both felt this sensation when it comes to riding motorbikes.

The difference between a motorbike and an air bike is quite big. Most especially on how the two get their source of energy to start.

Motorbikes, of course, require gasoline. While Airbikes on the other hand fuel with flames. Not just any other flame but dying will flame. You don't have to stop by a gasoline station to refuel since you are the ones who will refuel your tank.

Unlike a motorbike, the air bike is lighter, using the streams of pressurized air to hover. They also ran on Dying Will Flames, and the entire cowl and engine cover are made of the same material as Mammon Chains. Highly pressurized air shoots out of the nozzles to lift the entire vehicle. Aerial movements also utilize pressurized air. It has the same principle as a hovercraft. The body of the air bike is made from nano-carbon ceramic to keep it extremely light. It weighs 30% of what a normal motorcycle would. At the same time, it can endure 60% more stress. (courtesy: Katekyo Hitman Reborn Wiki).

"Where are we going?!" Ouzou asked quite loudly to be heard from the sound of the engines.

"Dunno! Any ideas?!" Milim said back from the frontlines.

"I thought you'll be touring us around, Milim-chan?" Ryuuji said to the pink-headed girl who replied with a laugh, "Then let the bikes lead us then!"

Kiriko and Kota, being the silent ones in the group remained silent. They simply follow the three on were they heading randomly. Kiriko felt a vibration on her left wrist, "Open." she muttered entering the voice system to use the Vongola Watch. She has an incoming call. She asked who it is and the system recognize the caller as Matsuno Chifuyu. She accepted the call. 

"Yo---" 

"WHAT IS A FUCKING DUCATI SUPERBIKE 794 DARK DOING IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT?!" 

Kiriko slightly tilted her head from the sudden burst of the volume. Despite the noisy engines of five motorbikes. Chifuyu's loud voice was heard by Kota just riding beside her. 

"Ah, so you got one as well?" 

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GOT ONE AS WELL?!" 

"You see, seems like Kyo-nii gave us presents before Halloween." 

"A FUCKING DUCATI FOR A HALLOWEEN PRESENT?!" 

"Looks like it." she could hear Chifuyu's exhausted sighs from the other line, "It's way too early for me to get a headache. And we still have a flight tomorrow." She heard him say. 

"The fight between Valhalla and Toman is tomorrow, huh." Chifuyu hummed in response, "We failed to bring back Baji-san. I'll be meeting up with him later with Takemitchy." 

Kiriko is still moving on her initial plan--- enter Toman. But seeing how her cousin is preoccupied with his Captain. She decided to do this plan by herself. She just needs an opportunity to bring this up to Mikey in the most convincing way. 

"Do you have a meeting tonight?" she asked. 

"Yes, why'd you ask?" 

"Nothing important. By the way, use the bike if you don't want Kyo-nii biting you to death for not accepting his once-in-a-lifetime present." 

"No way! As much as I want to. I can't ride an expensive-looking motorbike like it is normal!" 

Kiriko frown at this, "What do you mean? We are riding our bikes as we speak." 

"Huh? What models are they?" The boy asked quite curious. 

"The triplets got a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R each that only differs in their colors. Milim got a Ducati Multistrada 620 and I received a Ducati Monster S4R." She heard a clattering of something in the other line, "You are riding it?" 

Kiriko nodded her head despite not being in front of Chifuyu, "Yep. As we speak." 

"IS THAT FUCKING NORMAL IN ITALY?!" Kiriko flinched again on the sudden rise of his voice, "Geez. You don't have to shout." 

"You guys are riding expensive motorbikes in the streets of Shibuya. Not to mention that all of you are minors who looked like don't have a license!" 

"Hey, we have our license 'kay!" 

"It's forged!" 

"It is still a license." She reasoned that only made Chifuyu groan in exhaustion from the other line. 

"I can't take you guys. Am I the only one sane in the family?" Kiriko chuckled, "Nope, it's just that you think normal." 

"Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult?" 

"You choose." Chifuyu sighed for the nth time already and it is still only the start of the day, "I'll hang up. I could feel the head and neck pain coming through." 

"Alright, use the bike okay?" 

"I'll think about it--- I mean no!" Kiriko let out a laugh when she heard a flustered reply from Chifuyu who instantly bid goodbye and end the call. 

"Was that Chifuyu?" Kota asked when he noticed that Kiriko is done talking with her cousin. The dark-haired girl replied with a nod, "Yeah. He also received a motorbike from Kyo-nii." she said that did not go past the people in front of her. 

"What did you say? Who was that?!" Milim shouted from the front, "Chifuyu! He also got a bike!" Kiriko being a good and considerate friend yelled back at the pink-headed girl. 

"What model is it?" Ouzou asked. She recalled what Chifuyu said to her, "I think it was a Ducati Superbike 794 Dark." The triplets whistled while Milim laughed. 

"Hibari-san surely loves us eh?" she only said. The Hibari's; Kota, Ryuuji, Ouzou, and Kiriko silently agree with their friend as they continue to give their new ride a sweet welcome to their new home.
