Duran-kun and Kiyo-chan's Omake Theater!

(featuring the Kuga-Fujino family pets!)

Natsuki spun the motorcycle through the sharp curve without slackening speed, leaning her body and the bike over so that her knee nearly scraped the ground. It was still such a rush to be able to open up her Ducati on the coast road and feel what it was capable of. The tight grip around her waist increased, though, letting her know that her passenger didn't appreciate it as much as she did.

"Hey, don't worry; even your mistress got used to it," Natsuki shouted. Kiyohime probably didn't hear her over the rush of air and the engine noise, even if she could understand. While the hydra was securely strapped to the Ducati's rear seat by a belt going around her body, Kiyohime apparently didn't consider that secure enough and had five of her necks wrapped around Natsuki's waist. Only the fourth head seemed to be more concerned with feeling the wind in its scales. But, that's what happened when it was time for her routine checkup at the vet's and Shizuru was too busy to take her.

The sound of a siren and flashing lights in the mirror punctured Natsuki's good mood as surely as a nail in her tire would. She slowed up and pulled over, and the cop followed suit. Natsuki sighed, cut the engine, and flipped up her visor.

"License and registration, miss," the policeman asked when he came over. Natsuki handed him the required paperwork.

"What is it, Officer? I'd have sworn I wasn't speeding."

He shook his head.

"You weren't, miss. It's your passenger, there."

Kiyohime's second head gave the policeman a curious hiss.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Natsuki echoed.

"Well, miss, that's going to be one, two, three...six counts of riding a motorcycle without a helmet."
