Kyoko was growing concerned at the meeting they were having. It was sunday and Tsuna had summoned everyone to the conference room at the base. She knew it would have something to do with Haru, the girl hadn't been talking to her as much as of late. If she was honest Haru and Gokudera both seemed more distant, since leaving for Tokyo. Kyoko's attention was brought back to the meeting when Haru suddenly made a startled sound, looking for what could have caused it in the first place. Her eyes shifted to the storm guardian, who seemed to have realized dawn on his face. The two left the room quickly and raced down the hall, saying something about how could they forget or something. Her eyes then moved over to her boyfriend and boss, he seemed to check the time then chuckle.

"They have class starting soon, and from what I hear the professor is unforgiving and would fluck them if they miss even one class." Kyoko couldn't help chuckling either, from what she heard their double majors didn't take up as much time as they thought now that they're back home. So both enrolled in another program, Haru mentioned that she had taken up engineering as her third program. Something to take her mind off the recent events; Kyoko decided it would be nice to bring her a cake.

"Ryohei, are you still planning on telling Hana about what we do?" came Tsuna's voice.

"Hmm, I don't know. She's doing well in her international law studies but I don't want to drag her in. That being said, just because she's friends with us she'll be a target, and given how the girls reacted in the future when we refused to tell them. I'm surprised Hana has been so patient."

"We may have been more patient to learn the truth if we weren't dragged to the future onii-san. Being the only two in the dark, where it is life or death is scary, knowing helped us put things into perspective." Kyoko commented, she really would prefer her brother to be more honest with his girlfriend and one of her best friends. Ryohei seemed to take note of what she said, and Tsuna moved on.

"About Haru's stalker, it seems they are getting more aggressive. More female students have gone missing from their school and Haru's phone keeps getting calls but their untraceable."

"We haven't been able to find anything either seems, the bomb brat was right. The only thing we could find is that it's a guy, and he's a ghost." The guy with long hair on the screen said. Kyoko remembered him from the future, Squalo she thought his name was. Squalo's boss was behind him listening to the conversation too.

"We did manage to find the original video files of him following her." The other man said, Tsuna once told her he was like his uncle in the same way Ninth was his grandfather. A video replaced their faces on the screen.

It was Haru walking through a hallway, talking to some other people, behind her was a guy you couldn't see his face but he seemed familiar. His hair was long wavy and greasy from the looks of it and he was tall and lanky. He followed Haru to class, then across campus then to her dorm never really being seen or noticed.

"Daisy?" came Takeshi's voice, Chrome shook her head, Squalo spoke up.

"We thought so too, but it isn't him. He's currently with Gamma and Yuni in France." Kyoko was concerned, as the future wife of the boss she had to know what was happening with everyone in the family and handle certain jobs and matters that the boss couldn't. Currently she couldn't handle this job even though it fell to her scope of duties. Any and all problems outside the mafia were her job, this was one of them but Tsuna found out before her and it started to pull a lot of attention from the inner alliance circle.

"He seems to be making his way back to nanamori. We're coming down along with Bronco and the CEDEF." came Tsuna's uncle's voice.

"Thank you Xanxus. There are a lot of civilians we'll need to keep safe, Haru's parents to start."

"I'll call the others, we'll need all the help we can get." Reborn stated, He had grown quite a bit over the last 8 years, instead of looking 5 he looked like a 13 year old now. Kyoko at that moment had an idea.

"Our middle school reunion is coming up, what if all the parents Haru was close with go on a vacation out of the country and we sponsor the reunion out of country as well. We stay behind and capture the man." Kyoko was proud of her idea and the others seemed to be thinking it over.

"We'll go to Italy for the reunion, and assign people to the town to watch over several people. Mom and Haru's parents can go on a joint vacation with dad that should help keep Haru safe and if the guy has a passport and comes into the heart of our territory everyone has free range. .We can't have everyone Haru knows just suddenly go on vacation. Does that work for you guy Xanxus" Kyoko was happy part of her idea was working, Squalo was already on the phone, she assumed it was with Dino.

"I'm fine with that but use your own place. Also you have to tell the tenth." There was a brief look shared between Reborn and Xanxus, Kyoko was sure it had something to do with Tsuna's bullies. However everyone also seemed eager to deal with Haru's stalker, it was at that moment that Hayato walked in with HAru's laptop.

"He broke the encryption. He was in the class but there's no indication that he was even in class. The entire server for the school shut down too."

"How do you know it's him?" Hayato put the laptop down and turned it so they could see the screen. It was a picture of some people on a table having their limbs torn apart with the words Give Haru back on it. Kyoko shivered, and turned to her brother.

"Tell Hana, we're gonna need her help." Ryohei nodded, he seemed to understand this wasn't a request but an order from the boss's future wife. Tsuna raised an eyebrow at her, and Kyoko decided to explain.

"Hana is on the committee for the reunion and with her debat skills she can force everyone to agree, especially if the trip is free. On top of that she can put pressure on the police to look into the student disappearances, so there is a legal trail as well, and that it won't lead back to us." Tsuna nodded and accepted her explanation, She then turned to Hayato.

"How's Haru."

"Full shut down, give her an hour then we can help her."

"I'm coming as an escort." Squalo announced, he started walking out the door, and Hibari who had been silent the entire meeting spoke up.

"Technically speaking he's our great-uncle and Haru's godfather. He's closest to her mom." Everyone just stared at him when Hayato spoke up.

"Oh yeah, you guys are cousins. She mentioned something about a great uncle being close in age in Italy." This seemed to short circuit everyone including Xanxus, who proceeded to go to the door and yell down the hall.

"SCUM WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE RELATED TO THE CLOUD BART AND THE GIRL!" Kyoko could just barely hear chaos ensue on the other end of the call.

"Xanxus, I'll call later to sort our trip out." Xanaxus nodded in response.

"Trash, I'll be coming as well." Kyoko could tell Tsuna was trying to not lose it, because if Xanxus was coming everyone was coming. He simply nodded and ended the call. Hayato sat down, he seemed a bit out of it.

"Hayato?"

"She was in our physics program." Questioning looks were shared before realization dawned on them.

"How well did you know her?" Kyoko asked.

"We did one project with her. We both learn rather well, so we are top of the class and tend to get paired together. She happened to be in a 3 man team project. She didn't question anything, did or said, didn't question our odd availability. She just did her work." Hibari and Takeshi left the room once he said that, and after a few minutes Ryohei and Chrome left as well. Mukuro was currently in Northern Italy, so he didn't attend the meeting.

It left Hayato, with Tsuna, Reborn and herself. Something was being left out and right now this was on her to get the needed information.

"Hayato, we can't help anyone if we don't know everything. What are you not telling us?" Hayato looked at her and she could see him register, then close off.

"Nothing about him."

"Haru?" She asked in a small voice, she knew he had seen a lot of horrors but since that call that night at the hotel, he seemed more open but also closed off. There was a part of him only Haru was allowed to see, but at the moment they needed to see this side too. She needed to gently nudge, and not poke too much. Haru had always been the best at getting information from him.

"We can't help her if we don't know."

"It's nothing I can't handle." He responded, she was getting frustrated.

"She's my best friend and I want to help, also caregiver burnout is a thing and right now you're her caregiver, until she can handle being around people."

"She can handle being around people, she's just afraid he'll do something to anyone she even says hi to. She shut me out for a while, when she bro-" He stopped himself from talking and that was when Kyoko saw recognition in Tsuna's eyes.

"How bad was her breakdown Hayato." They knew he would never deny Tsuna anything, he was his friend and self proclaimed right hand.

"Bad." Was all he said, and his face accidentally showed them just how bad, as he broke.

"I couldn't do anything. Took everything just to convince her to come home." Hayato looked at Tsuna and let his walls down a bit.

"I found out when she screamed one night. There was an arm and two hands on her bed, with a note about how she was perfect." Hayato seemed to go far away, remembering everything that they didn't know.

"She cried for hours. I went to call you but she took my phone and told me not to. That she didn't want to drag the family into a problem that wasn't mafia related" Tsuna's eyebrows furrowed and Kyoko could understand why.

"I told her that was nonsense, but she broke the phone and refused to drag everyone in. That was when I learned just how long it was going on, I told her i wouldn't tell anyone and kept my word but then i spent a lot of time trying to convince her to take a trip home and have her tell you guys herself. She lost it, crying, blaming herself, refusing to believe we could handle it. Even went as far to say she doesn't belong in the family anymore and that she won't be more of a burden. Then she just shut down, stopped going to class, wouldn't eat, wouldn't get up from the bed.

My bed though, she couldn't even enter her room. I took the floor for a few days but always ended up back in bed because of her nightmares. Screaming every night, every time she closed her eyes; after two weeks of not sleeping i asked if the body parts caused it but then she showed me the videos he made for her. He'd send pictures too, and call with only him breathing.

She stopped closing her eyes altogether and we basically lived off coffee. She was way past her limit with this and she wouldn't come back till the morning of, I was sneaky about it too. Purchased the tickets under different names, kept our faces hidden, didn't tell anyone where we were going or that we were coming. The hotel was one of ours, so I made sure we got secure rooms on a secure floor.

How the hell did he get in?" Kyoko was concerned when the meeting started now she was terrified and hoped they could catch this guy soon. The four of them sat there silently until the hour was over, and like it was second nature Hayato left and collected what he needed for Haru.

"Tsu-kun, I'm worried about them."

"I am too Kyoko. Reborn." Reborn was scowling.

"You two should stay here for a few days. I will contact the others and send them to Italy. I will also ask Irie and Spanner to look into the software." Reborn left the room as Tsuna thanked him. Kyoko looked at her boyfriend, and they shared the same look.

"Haru doesn't feel like she belongs." Tsuna casted his eyes down and Kyoko knew that the next few days were gonna be long.
