A faucet was turned, water started to pour down while a knife and vegetables were washed under the falling stream. Small taps were made as the girl started to cut the vegetables using the knife, proceeding to mix the ingredients in the pot.

She started humming as she made breakfast and prepared several bento's. She finished preparing but not her humming, continuing as she walk and stop in front of a family photo. She held it, staring at a young boy next to her when she was a child, smiling as she says, "I miss you."

Almost letting out a tear, suddenly two kids dashed out through the corridor then to the living room, where they ran around the couch, seemingly playing tag early in the morning.

"Nezuko come back here!" A red haired boy yelled out, chasing and running after his sister around the couch, who doesn't listen to him.

The young girl looked back at his older brother as she ran away from him, sticking out her tongue as she sped up.

The girl from the kitchen caught to them, "Careful or you'll get-

A loud thud envelop the room making the older brother and sister widen their eyes and was sent running to the small girl, who had just bump her forehead into the wall. She rolled back and forth whilst holding her bulging knot on her forehead, "Ouch! It hurts!" She screamed repeatedly in pain.

As the older siblings arrive, kneeling in front of the small girl. She slowly sat down, "Nee-chan! Nii-san!" She cried.

"I'll get a pack of ice." The boy said before running off to the kitchen.

The girl nodded and kept the young girl accompany, making her slowly stop crying in the process.

--

A peach haired man laughed out loud, "Seriously!?" He continues to laugh, holding his stomach in with tears on his eyes.

"It's not funny!" The young girl angrily exclaimed, now holding a pack of ice on her forehead where the knot is.

The man beside the peach haired man sets down his tea, "Glad it wasn't Tanjiro or we would've had a broken wall." He says, then continues to sip his tea.

"H-Hey!" The red haired boy known as Tanjiro says, "My forehead is not that hard!" He rub his forehead, checking if it's actually is or not.

The table was filled with great and delicious food and laughter's along with it. After the meal the four prepared to leave. The Eldest Sister grab their bento's and gave it to them individually with a soothing smile of hers.

She claps her hands, grabbing their attention, "Everyone before you go. Urokodaki-san is apparently coming home with a guest for us to meet when he's back." She announces to them, giving her an expected reaction; confused.

"What?" All four of them said, looking at each other confusingly.

The Eldest Sister also had no idea, giving them a shrug, "That's all he said to me before he left." She says.

They nodded, "We'll be going now then." They all walk their way to the front door.

"Nezuko, Tanjiro don't skip classes okay! Giyuu, Sabito always be careful on your cases!" She shouts at them as she peaked out of the door.

They all waved and said, "Arigato Nee-chan!" And made their way to their usual routine of the day.

--

After dropping Nezuko and Tanjiro off to school. Giyuu and Sabito made their way to the Tomioka Residence, their working place or office for cases that needs their support or assistant.

"Any idea what the old man is saying about by "someone"?" Sabito asked the man beside him.

The man known as Giyuu shook his head, "He's a unpredictable man. It won't be easy to know." He says.

Sabito was shock, not expecting that answer from him. He smiled before looking back on his way, "Guess you're right."

Giyuu responded with a small chuckle, raising his fist at him. To Sabito's response he also raised his, giving each other a fist bump.

As the automatic doors opened, revealing themselves. They change their expressions and attitude as they step inside, and begun their work as their staff's started to swarm them with cases.

The Eldest of the siblings known as Tsutako was also leaving the house to buy ingredients for dinner and would do a little shopping for new clothes.

She took the train to the mall and continued her agenda for the day. She first went to her favorite clothing shops, trying clothes after clothes that she sees in each shop she goes in.

"This one? Or maybe this one? Wait, this one is cute!" She says, alternating her chosen clothes in the changing room.

After paying for her clothes. She had realize it was almost time for dinner and she has yet to buy a single ingredient for tonight's dinner. She couldn't help but rush to the grocery store and swiftly bought her specific items. She was in relief that the cashier was quick to scan the tag prices giving her more extra time to get home before the others comes back.

She left the mall and called out for a cab. She dropped by to the cemetery, dropping off flowers at the her parent's tombstone.

"Sorry that I'll be leaving fast this time, I'll make it up next time!" She apologized then payed respects at the tombstones. She left in a hurry and called out another cab. She was finally calm, finally able to take a breathe after the rush she had to go through but it was a short while after getting stuck in a long traffic jam. People were honking at each other as they slowly move their pace.

Tsutako grown in annoyance, paying the driver and quickly leaving to take a short cut, looking for a free road to call for another cab. Not long after the search, she found one and was lucky to see a cab in a waiting area, waiting for a customer. She raised and waved the cab, making the driver notice her and drove to her.

She got in and said the location to where she will be drop off. She was once again relief, She felt pleasant that she's finally going home without a traffic jam nor a problem.

They have arrive at Urokodaki's place after long hour of driving. She checked the house if they're at home but it looks like only the children are at home. Forgetting to pay, The driver called her out before leaving him empty handed. She immediately bowed several times but the man assured her it was fine since he knew how rough her day was.

She left her things at the front door, pushing the doorbell and went back to the driver while rummaging through her sling bag for her purse. As she took her purse out. A thief dashed through her, making her stumble on the ground. He had stolen her purse with ease.

She was panicking, wondering what she should do since it's her first time being rob, "Help! A thief stole my purse!" She shouted.

The thief looked back and laughed at her. Suddenly he stop on his tracks then his perspective started going downwards. He soon realize that he was caught, both arms were lock behind him. He made an effort to see who caught him but it was just a man in a jacket, face was hidden by the darkness of the night.
