Keep your function accessible so that you can query it via AJAX, and in the controller itself, test if it's an ajax call via is_ajax_request(). See manual here, very bottom: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/input.html
An example might be something like:
Code:
public function get_cities()
{
if(! $this->input->is_ajax_request())
show_404();
// Otherwise, proceed as usual!
