Kyoya didn't like surprises, especially when it they involved his wife and child. So when he arrived home just after sunset he expected the lights to be on and Satsuki watching her weekly drama's, he instead arrived to a cold, empty, and dark house.
As he walked through the halls and checked in each room he was able to figure out that no one had been in here for more than a week. Everything was clean and put away where it was supposed to, there was no sign of a struggle which meant they had left willingly, and on their own.
He moved to Satsuki's office and opened the third book on the right of the second highest shelf. Sure enough there was a piece of paper hidden between the pages.
"Kyoya, Haruka is safe with my parents. Reborn needed my help. Love you."
Reborn…
He placed the note in his chest pocket. Of course that meddlesome hitman had to find his wife of all the people in the Vongola to ask for help.
After a quick shower and change of clothes he gathered his things and made his way to the Nakamura residence.
His in-laws house was how he had expected his own to look. The lights were on and people were inside.
"Kyoya-kun!" Satsuki's mother looked surprised to see him, "Please come in."
He nodded at her and walked past her into the warm interior of the house. In the main room, his father-in-law was cradling a drowsy Haruka against his chest.
"It must've been something important if she would leave the two of so quickly." Ryunosuke said at his approach. "She didn't even tell us what was going on."
Kyoya accepted his son from his father-in-law. The familiar weight of Haruka in his arms helped calm some of his nerves but he still didn't like what had happened. Sawada sending him on a long term mission, that now suspiciously felt like a distraction, gave Reborn enough time to come and guilt his wife into doing something.
"How long has it been?" He asked, "Since she left."
"Three weeks now."
The urge for violence was strong but the familiar weight of his son kept him grounded.
"I would appreciate it if you could continue looking after Haruka for me." He addressed Satsuki's parents.
"Do you think they would send her somewhere dangerous." His mother in law asked, concern for her daughter clear on her face.
He didn't think Sawada had it in him, but it wasn't Sawada who had convinced his wife. It was Reborn. That man always liked to push the boundaries on what a person should and should not do.
"I don't know."
