Kiriko and Milim rushed towards the parking lot in the Musashi Shrine. They left the infiltration unit under Ono's control as they head to the site where they found out the Yllona's are planning to do. 

"Fuck those Yllona's!" Milim grumbled. She doesn't like what they found out in the base they just controlled. Kiriko tightly bites her lips, doesn't have a care if it bleeds. 

The Yllona's are really responsible for all these ruckuses. 

They controlled Moebius, the gang that is full of half-adult-like delinquents that are easy to please. Taking advantage of this, they created a way to drag innocent people into the mafia war. Delinquent gangs are a similar group that can be compared to a mafia family. Despite the big differences in how the two are being led, there are few Mafia families that started in a puny teenage gang. The Yllona's must have thought to use them and be their branch in the world of delinquents to further add manpower to theirs.  

"We're too late!" Milim exclaimed as she spotted a brawl between the two gangs in the parking lot. Most people who are passing by and saw them immediately retreated seeing how rough the scene is. Kiriko's eyes landed on a certain blonde who is taking care of a bunch of guys that he took down without panting or breaking a sweat. The rain is starting to pour harder. Making it much tougher to stand on the ground with blood scattered. 

"Milim, let's go." 

"Huh? You won't help them?" Kiriko looked at her, "We have someone to search for." she only said and proceed to make her way on where her instincts told her to. Rummaging on the files that they found earlier in the Yllona Tokyo Base, the Tokyo Manji Gang's profiles are all present. As if they are targeting the gang since the start. Among the profiles, what catches her the most is a certain blonde that she knows, with a knife placed on his paper. 

"Useless? Even if it is useless... Even so! There is a time when giving up is not an option!" he turns his head, "Isn't that right, Takemitchi?" 

It was--- her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a battle cry. She immediately followed it at the speed of light, having some help from her Cloud flames. 

"I definitely won't lose!" she felt a burning resolve in the direction. She get past the bushes and kicked the man that met her feet. 

"Well said," she told to the one who said the words with full resolve. She appreciates it, "Then shall give them a taste of death."  

~-~-~-~

Takemitchi saw a light. 

A familiar girl, with her dark hair, waves through the cold wind, the rain pouring over her black tight outfit. He noticed something placed on her belt and recognizes it is a gun. He internally flinched but was deeply overjoyed to see her. 

"Hi-Hibari-san!" he called the girl making her tilt her head and saw the poor state of the six guys all beaten up. But she found the person she was looking for and it looks like she is quite late. 

"I'm here too you know," a certain pink-haired girl whined. Now standing beside the shaved-blonde. Takemitchi shrieked, he didn't notice the other one. 

"Nava-san!" The blonde boy is happy to see them— but not too happy that the two girls arrived at the wrong time.

"Hibari-san! Nava-san! Please run away from here!" he pleaded the two, the same way he begged his girlfriend to run and save herself. The pink-headed girl chuckled in his attempt, "You do see that Kiri-chan just made that guy unconscious in a kick, right?" she said while pointing to the sleeping guy on the ground with his eyes and mouth open. He is not dead. Vongola does not tolerate unreasonable deaths. Besides, the Cloud Division prioritizes punishment and judgment. Death penalties are being taken care of by the elite assassination squad the Varia.

Kiriko faces the remaining punks that are crowding and taking advantage of the lack of power of Takemitchi's friends. An irk mark appeared on her forehead, not liking the crowd of weak men.

"My brother told me that the weak pups will gather in one pack to protect each other..." she started to speak slowly approaching the punks in front of her. Takemitchi and the newcomer Mizo Mid Crew shivered when they heard her cold and intimidating voice. The rain is suddenly quiet, only the click from her boots could be heard, "I don't really believe the way my brother views things... but now, I couldn't help but agree with him."

She reach her hand on the shoulder of the struck man. She makes him look straight into her deep purple eyes.

"I fully understand what he meant by... bite someone to death." after she said that. Her knee met the stomach of the guy she is holding. Taking him in surprise unable to react. The boy fell down unconscious. She turns her head to the others who are slowly backing away.

Why? Why am I shaking?! asked one of them to himself. As he could feel his whole body shaking, She is just a girl! A small one in fact! I am larger, I can beat her! saying this on his mind. He moves forward with a fist hanging in the air.

"AHHHH!" he charged towards the girl who remain unfazed by his actions. She swiftly dodged his punch, just slightly moving on the side, still her feet in the same position. The boy's eyes widen in surprise. He couldn't even see her dodge. Before he could know it, she finished dodging all of his attempt attacks.

Takemitchi, the Mizo Mid Crew, and Draken watch the girl dodge the punches without breaking a sweat.

Sh-She's! Draken couldn't even finish his train of thought as his attention has been fully taken by the dark-haired girl.

Meanwhile, Milim moved towards the wounded half-shaved man and equip her Dragon Knuckles silently. She let out a small dying will flame on its nail and pointed at Draken's stab wound.

Sun Flames' characteristic is activation. It can increase the rate of blood flow and cell regeneration. She just needs to do it before the ambulance arrives.

Kiriko does not like too much movement. She is not an eager fighter like her brother. She'd rather lure her opponent to attack and use their stamina while she is keeping hers.

With this fighting style of hers. She could clearly see how tired the boys are now. Sweat and rain mixing and they are panting.

"Done?" she boredly asked that making them wake up from the tiredness that is engulfing them. They charged for the nth time. Instead of dodging it, Kiriko approached them targeting the knee joints of the approaching attackers, making them stumble down due to the impact. Kiriko used him as a ground to punch the two attackers behind him, she move on and repeatedly kick the remaining ones targeting their torso, rib cage, and arms making it difficult for them to step back and maintain defense. Not that they are really thinking about defending, but the girl did not give them a chance to think. 

Six boys are now lying in the cold wet ground, all unconscious but not beaten up unlike the two blondes on the other side and full of bruises by four guys. In the middle of the lying bodies is a girl casually standing with her foot on one of the chests of the unconscious acting leader of the group. Her eyes linger on the one whom she recognizes as the same person who holds the underground fight under the name of Toman. The siren of the ambulance is now heard. But none of them really move, still taken on the scene they just watch. 

She tilted her head to her pink-headed friend who is aiding the stabbed blondes. 

"You guys alright?" she asked them. Reminding them about the reality. 

"A-Ah! How about you Hibari-san? Are you hurt?" Takemitchi asked the purple-eyed girl who blinked in confusion. Mentally asking him if he could see how she single-handedly beat six guys twice her size. 

"Snap that and take care of yourself. You guys don't seem alright--- especially you two blondes." 

The Mizo Mid Crew remembers the reason why they are being called on the site, "Everyone! Don't just stand there! Hurry up and take Draken-kun and Takemitchi to the ambulance!" Sendo Atsushi said and the three other boys helped Milim tend the two blondes. 

"Takemitchi, stop the bleeding with this." 

"Draken-kun, can you stand?"

"Somehow." 

"Just where is the ambulance?!" Yamagishi called and then heard wheels coming in the way. 

"Everyone! Here!" 

"Hurry up!" 

Hinata brought the medic with Emma. 

"Come on! Come on!" 

"Hey, over here!" the medic arrived and took care of the badly wounded ones. They also asked about the unconscious bodies in the area and Kiriko answered that she only hit a few nerves enough to make them fall asleep as self-defense, it is a good thing that they confirmed that the guys she fought against are not badly injured and set it aside considering it as self-defense in the side. 

"Kiriko-chan! Milim-chan!" the two girls; Hina and Emma called them, "Are you both alright?" the rosy-haired girl asked the two with both of her hands on each hand of them.

"Yeah, they are not that tough. Seems like the stronger ones are in the parking lot." Kiriko told the two. Emma, being clouded by her emotions. Wrap her arms to the dark-haired friend of hers now bawling her eyes.

"Kiriko-chan! D-Draken... Draken is!" she pats her back softly, "He will be alright." she said with confidence. Emma tightens her embrace. Her assurance does not feel like force, it is a type of assurance that she is a hundred percent believes that Draken will get over through it. That he will live. Emma believed her words. Unbelievably, she calmed down.

"Hey... uhm, what is your name?" Kiriko asks the four guys who helped the two blondes.

"Sendo Atsushi and these three are—"

"Yamagishi Kazushi!" said the chestnut-haired guy with orange-colored square-shaped glasses.

"I-I'm Suzuki– Suzuki Makoto!" The guy with dark slicked-back hair yelled with obvious nervousness hinted at his tone. Probably taken back on the faces of two girls who technically save them.

"Yamamoto Takuya," a contrast to the introduction of the first two. This guy with shoulder-length hair calmly introduces himself.

"I see... I'm Hibari Kiriko and this is Milim Nava– or Nava Milim?– anyways we'll head back to the parking lot. They are still fighting in there."

"What? No!" Hina step forward, "It's dangerous! They are having a brawl in there! Draken-kun have been stabbed because of that! I can't let you go in there and might end up injured!" she firmly refuse to accept them going back to the site where the main fight is happening. She might not be very knowledgeable on how delinquency works, but she could see that the situation on the other side is much worse than what they just encountered.

Even if they are capable of protecting themselves...

Hina didn't want to risk their safety.

She felt a warm hand on her back, "Believe in us." she turn around and met a bright smile from Milim, "We won't get injured!" she said confidently.

The uneasiness that is clouding Hina's thoughts is gone. Just like what Emma felt when Kiriko assured her about Draken's situation, Hinata felt the same.

"Alright..." she then agreed to the two girls.

"You all can head to the hospital. We'll inform the others from the site." they all nodded on Kiriko's orders. They part their ways, with the other side following the ambulance where Draken and Takemitchi are being taken, and the other two heading towards the parking lot where a brawl between the Moebius and Toman is currently happening.
