Hideko slowly opens the door to her daughter's bedroom, careful not to make any sudden movements. Kyoya opens an eye at that, body instinctively tensing, before she relaxes as she recognizes her mother standing in the doorway.
The two look at each other for a moment, Kyoya too tired to even attempt to decipher the emotions in her mother's eyes, before Hideko closes the door again.
She finds herself focusing on the clicking of her heels as she walks to the living room, as she steals Hiroshi's glass of wine without a word and downs it.
He doesn't protest, face mirroring her own look of tired resignation.
"Our daughter just helped slaughter a house full of trained yakuza," Hideko finally speaks. "Our daughter killed men because her sky wanted it. Even if I can't sense the flames, I know what a sky bond looks like."
"Tsuyoshi's daughter is there too," he replies. "His daughter, who has to be a rain like her father. And the civilian, the tall girl? I've never felt such a strong sun."
"Do you think?" He starts to ask next, stopping when his wife snorts in response.
"The sky is named Sawada, that Vongola idiot is selfish enough to marry a woman just so he can play house-"
"And stupid enough to leave them with his real name." Hiroshi finishes with a sigh.
A moment of silence passes, Hideko idly running her fingers around the rim of her wine glass, when her husband speaks up.
"So what do we do now?"
"Isn't it obvious?" She asks, turning from gazing out the window at the dark night below to face him.
"I wanted to be the one to teach Kyoya to kill. I expected Kyoya to eventually follow in our footsteps. But she's found her sky, she's already found her path. All we can do now is support her."
"So we train them properly."
"Exactly," she responds, beginning to pace, "We train them properly. We bring in instructors to teach the sun how to heal, we convince Tsuyoshi to train his daughter harder. As for the sky? We'll teach her politics, we'll teach her poisons and how to cripple a man with only her words."
"You never know," Hiroshi points out, sounding unconvincing even to his own ears, "the girl may decide to be a civilian after all."
Hideko doesn't stop her disbelieving snort, gaze firmly focused on him.
"Sawada Tsuna is a sky of Vongola blood. I don't need their famed intuition to know the girl will shake the underworld."
"Kyoya could do worse," he agrees, leaning back in his chair and letting out a sigh.
His wife pauses, clearly working up the courage to say it, before finally speaking.
"The girl is sealed, isn't she?"
"I don't see any other explanation." Hiroshi eventually replies, frown tugging at his face.
Hideko pauses before moving, throwing the wine glass against the wall and watching as it shatters.
"They sealed a sky," she says, voice angry and raw. "They sealed a child of their blood."
He purses his lips, watching as she begins to pace, rage apparent on her face.
"You don't have the right to bring them to justice," he eventually starts, looking up at her when she turns to face him. "Tsuna is the only one that has the right to demand blood."
She laughs in response, voice already lighter, before moving to perch on the edge of his armchair.
"Did you see the girl? The blood on her clothes, that look in her eyes-Vongola doesn't stand a chance. She'll make them burn."
"And our daughter will stand beside her."
"I can think of worse fates for our Kyoya, than to be the Cloud of the Sky that changed the underworld."
She recognizes the look in her husband's eyes, she knows he's already decided to accept it.
But-
"We really should call Fon," Hiroshi continues, "at least to have him oversee Kyoya's training."
Hideko hums thoughtfully, mulling it over, before nodding. "We'll have to have him swear not to let anyone know about her sky."
"He'll swear it," he says confidently, no doubt in his mind.
"He will," she agrees before catching his chin with her hand and tilting his face up gently, pressing a close mouthed kiss to his lips.
They part with the same thought in their minds, the same calculating confidence.
They know Sawada Tsuna will rise to greatness. Just as they know Kyoya will rise with her.
