Tanjiro hasn't sleep well since getting to the entertainment district. His mind clouded with thoughts that weren't his own.
His head was torn between the gap of hatred and guilt. How could he let Uzui take away his precious sibling?
They're only five! Who knows what will happen to them in a place like this?
No matter how many chores he did, he still couldn't distract himself from the vivid thoughts that plagued his head.
Every second he asked himself, "Where is [Name]?" And "How is [Name]?" It hurt him not knowing where his sibling was, it was his job as a big brother to protect them, not leave them with a man they barely know.
Tanjiro could tell that Nezuko was worried too. Every moment she would stare into the darkness of her box, desperately wishing their sibling would appear in her arms, safe from the dangers of this unruly world.
[Name] didn't know the world like Tanjiro did. It was filled with nasty people who couldn't care less about them. That's why [Name] needed him, and he needed [Name].
He brought them safety, love, and a kind family. He couldn't forgive himself if something happened to them. What if [Name]'s awful mother was nearby and she found them? What would he do then?
The boy sat up in his futon, fists clenched against the sheets with determination. Enough is enough.
"I need my sibling back." His red eyes grew dark as his eyes shined with a feeling he'd never felt so strongly before. "I need them safe. Backwith me."

[Name]'s scent was easy to track. With him holding their slightly worn out bandages, it wasn't hard to sniff them out.
He stood on the roof of the building, holding onto the ledge before sliding the window open with ease. Once the window was fully opened, his fingers gripped the ledge even tighter at the scene that lay before him.
[Name] was sleeping soundly (thank god) but what troubled him was the fact that the arms of an unknown woman were wrapped securely around the child's body.
It made him sick with rage.
It should be him holding [Name] like that, not this woman that barely knew them.
His lips curled into a snarl as he crept into the bedroom. Who dare this disgusting prostitute touch them, who does she think she is?
His dark red eyes scanned the room for something— anything that would keep this vile woman away from his innocent sibling. He spotted the sapphire blue scarf that the child always wore, his lips slightly curling upwards.
Perfect.
He gently picked up the scarf before creeping up to the futon bed where the two slept. He reached out his hands and carefully removed [Name] from the woman's grip, making sure he didn't wake either of them up in the process.
He placed the child away from her before kneeling over the woman with the scarf tightly in his grip. "No one touches my little sibling." He whispered as he slowly began wrapping the fabric around the woman's neck.
"No one."
...
After his job was done, Tanjiro searched the woman's drawers for any sign of [Name]'s regular clothes. After securing the goods, he picked up the child and cradled them in his arms, a tender smile creeping into his face as he stared at their peaceful face.
"Don't worry [Name]." He whispered before leaning in and placing a gentle kiss on their forehead. "Your big brother is here. No one will ever hurt you while I'm here." He cooed.
Tanjiro knew he had to get out before he was spotted so he promptly took all of [Name]'s belongings and jumped out of the woman's window. He made his way back to the Ogimoto house and settle the child into his futon bed.
He laid them under his covers and watched as they snuggled into his pillow, he smiled at the cute sight before him as he sat down before the bed. "Sweet dreams." His smile widened.
