[While Tsuna had agreed not to say anything to Kyoko when he first arrived in Splendor because Kyoko had been from a time before the Shimon, circumstances had changed. Now Kyoko knew of the shimon students and two of them were here as well. If Enma decided to lash out at them and Kyoko got caught up in the crossfire because she wanted to be friends with everyone...Tsuna would never forgive himself.
And here, even though Kyoko knew something was wrong, she was still supporting them, just like she did in the future. She had a right to know even if he wanted nothing more to protect her and keep her from getting involved. Biting his lip, he gets up from his bed and walks down to the kitchen]
[Ryohei wasn't normally the kind of guy to think things through and weigh his decisions. He tended to just wing it, relying on his strength and vitality to open up the path he needed to take and his friends to back him up when he was in trouble. But some things were too important to leave to chance. These days, when Ryohei needed a second opinion about extreme life decisions, there were two people he turned to. His master wasn't here.
So that had him knocking on Tsuna's door, relatively quiet and definitely extremely serious. It wouldn't be hard to guess why he was here, even without hypersensitive intuition. Sawada would know how to help him out. After all, wasn't that why he was the Boss?]
[Tsuna had been thinking over this for sometime now. He had finally come to a decision. But there was just one person he needed to hear from before he went through with it.
Hearing the knock on the door, he gets up and opens it. Stares at Ryohei in surprise]
Big brother! I was just about to look for you.
[He opens the door completely, standing to the side to allow Ryohei in]
Come in.
[He took note of Ryoehi's unsually serious and quiet self. Wondered if they had been thinking about the same thing]
[Ryohei enters and briefly wonders how best to phrase this. But, after all, he's more a man of extreme action than words. Tsuna will forgive him that.]
Sawada. What are we going to tell her.
[It's not a question, because he knows Tsuna already has an answer. He's just that kind of guy.]
[It doesn't really come as a surprise to Tsuna to hear Ryohei say it so abruptly. Expected actually, as well as very much appreciated. It made things easier to say]
[There was never going to be an easy way to do this.
Ryohei has talked with Tsuna, and they've both come to an uncomfortable decision. No matter how much he wishes he could protect his sister from the world's harsher realities, it was unfair to do so when she was just as invested in all this extremely weird business as they were. Just because Kyoko doesn't fight doesn't mean she isn't a participant, after all. If he delays this talk any longer he'll have to admit he was running away from a challenge just because it was a little closer to home than he'd like.
Ryohei never backs away from a challenge. Especially ones that concern the sister he loves more than anybody else in the world

[It had been a little difficult ushering Tsuna out of the kitchen after dinner, assuring him that she could do the dishes on her own. Of course he wanted to help, but she needed time alone. Not to think or to dwell or to worry (though she couldn't help doing that anyway), but to immerse herself in something familiar, and at the moment that familiarity was the simplest of domestic tasks. It was what she was good at, it was what she enjoyed, and it was what she needed; that normality helped keep her calm and grounded just like her brother, albeit in a less drastic tone - but if she was going to help keep her big brother grounded, she was going to have to keep herself grounded first

[Good ol' extremely reliable Kyoko. Ryohei feels the clenching of his heart ease with one simple question, even if its answer is a little- okay, an extreme lot- more complicated than that. Just absorbing her peacefulness relaxes him so much that it's almost absurd, but this is partly why they're as close as they are. They just fit so well as siblings that a lot of the time they might as well have been twins. It's so comfortable, and it's why he hates having to hide things from her. It also kind of extremely hurts that she goes along with his poor lies and deceptions so easily, and he'll deal with that so long as it keeps her safe. But it's just...not, not any more. So he'll come clean.
He spends a moment trying to think of how to phrase this, but thinking's never been his extreme strong point. He knows it, Kyoko knows it; the whole world pretty much knows it. If he mucks it up a little, she'll understand what he means.]
...Has Sawada talked to you yet?
[That was probably the best place to start. There was extremely no
( ... )
[She nods once, offering a small but encouraging smile. What they're about to talk about is hardly a happy affair, but it wouldn't help either of them to make the situation more tense.]

Hi Tsuna-kun! Are you hungry at all? I'm making dinner! It'll be a few more minutes, though.

The truth. She deserves to know.
