Tanjuro was heading to the Butterfly Mansion to check on those three Siblings as well as Yukina and Akemi. Suddenly a massive commotion was heard nearby. The Demon king smelled blood, so he hurried over to see what had happened. That was when he saw the two black and turquoise-haired boys being carried by Kakushi. His eyes widened, "what are Yuichiro and Muichiro doing here?!" he breathed, before hurrying over to the group, hearing the younger Brother's wailing cries. They tore at him, and he glimpsed Yuichiro's completely pale face. Then he saw and smelled the blood covering them.
"Oh my God! What happened?!" Tanjuro muttered, clenching his fists. As they entered the building, Tanjuro saw Shinobu directing the Kakushi from the door. "Shinobu! What happened to the Tokitos?!" he demanded as he hurried over to the teenager. The Insect Hashira saw him and sighed, "the Tokito family were attacked by Upper Rank 1 on the road. Both boys are fine, but they are severely traumatized. Yuto, is not doing well. He lost a hand in the battle. He may not ever be able to fight again" she replied. Tanjuro blinked, before he cringed. Since becoming a Demon, he'd lost limbs a lot. They always grew back, but he always tried to keep in mind how fragile humans were.
With a wound like that, his friend would be crippled for life. Unless- "Sayuri. She can heal him. We haven't tested her Blood Demon Art on older wounds yet, but it's worth a try, isn't it?" Tanjuro asked. Shinobu looked down in thought, "maybe. Bring her over and we'll see how it goes" she replied, moving to head inside. "Right! I'm counting on you to look after him until I get back!" Tanjuro called, hurrying away to get his youngest Demon.

Sayuri was playing with Lord Tanjuro's children. Tanjiro and Nezuko had just returned from their Missions and while they were resting and healing, both were able to lay in the Engawa to keep an eye on their Younger Siblings. "Things have been pretty peaceful all things considered, don't you think Nezuko?" Tanjiro asked with a smile. "Mhm. Hopefully things stay like this for a while longer big Brother" the 12-year-old replied. "SAYURI! COME HERE NOW!" They heard their Father call from inside the building. The young Demon girl instantly straightened up, before leaping onto the roof of the Mansion, and running over it to get to Lord Tanjuro faster.
Nezuko frowned worriedly, looking in the direction the Demon girl had gone, "what happened? Whatever it was, Dad doesn't sound happy" she said. "I can smell his worry and fear from here. Maybe we should go and check on him?" Tanjiro asked. "If Dad wanted us, he would have called for us. We should stay here and watch over all of our Siblings like he asked us to" Nezuko replied. "Alright" the Oldest Kamado Sibling agreed.

Sayuri hurried over to Lord Tanjuro, finding him standing outside the door to the Butterfly Estate. "Yes Lord Tanjuro! I'm here Sir!" the young Demon proclaimed. Tanjuro looked down at his Demon seriously, "do you remember what I told you about the Tokito family?" he asked. "Yes, I do" Sayuri agreed. "Yuto is severely injured, and will be crippled for life without your help. He needs you to heal him. Is that okay Sayuri?" Tanjuro asked. The black-haired Demon girl nodded, "I'll heal him, don't worry!" she said in determination.
She entered the building with Tanjuro behind her. They passed Yuichiro and Muichiro in a waiting room, both looking out of it, with glazed eyes. They ran into Kanae first, "Oh, Tanjuro, Sayuri. Did you come for news about the Tokito's?" the woman asked sadly. Sayuri shook her head firmly, "no Ma'am, I'm here to heal Mr Tokito" she said, before the little Demon girl followed the scent of the man's blood into what seemed to be an operating room. "Ah! Wait! You can't just go in there!" The former Flower Hashira called. "Don't worry," Tanjuro began seriously, making Kanae turn to look at him, "she can heal him. Soon he will have his hand back" he continued.
Kanae's eyes widened, before she looked back at the young Demon girl, who had just walked into the Operating Theatre with total confidence.

Sayuri looked over the human man when she entered. Shinobu looked at her angrily as she did, "hold on! What do you think you're doing in here?! This is a sterile room! You'll infect the patient!" she snapped. But Kanae stepped into the room, "hold on Shinobu! She can help. Just let Sayuri work" the older woman said. "But! Big Sister?!" Shinobu cried, surprised. "She can heal him. Trust me" Tanjuro said as he stepped up behind the former Flower Hashira. The Insect Hashira sighed deeply, and held her tongue.
Sayuri looked over Yuto, seeing his severed arm, making her cringe. She had seen and done a lot worse during her time of working for Rui. Sayuri looked around, "does someone have Mr Tokito's arm?" she asked. "H-here, I have it here!" a Kakushi called, running up with a bloody cloth. The little Demon wrinkled her nose at the smell of the blood, but pressed the severed arm to Yuto's stump. She took a deep breath. She may have healed fatal injuries and poisoning before, but Sayuri had never reattached a limb before. She shook her head. Now wasn't the time for that.
She could still hear Muichiro sobbing and wailing out in the hallway. Sayuri took a deep breath to calm herself. She had to do this right, otherwise Mr Tokito could lose the ability to use his arm. "Blood Demon Art: Healing Ray of Light!" she said, as a bright light engulfed the young human man. Shinobu, Kanae and Tanjuro watched with critical eyes as the flesh stitched itself back together within the healing light. Shinobu was awestruck, having not seen this in person before. Finally the arm was reattached, and the young Demon sighed, "I'm done. I don't think I can heal that scar though" Sayuri said, pointing to the thin scar circling Yuto's bicep where the arm had been severed.
"That's fine. Well done!" Kanae said, hugging the black-haired Demon girl. Tanjuro grinned, and picked up his Demon, "let's go tell the twins the good news!" he said cheerfully.

Yuichiro was clutching onto his Brother in shock, who was sobbing into his arms. Had that really just happened? That Demon hadn't been like the others. It was smart, and strong. Very strong. What it had done to Father- the boy struggled to keep from screaming or vomiting or both. Just remembering what had happened was enough to make him want to bawl his eyes out alongside Muichiro. But no. he had to be strong, for his Brother and his Father. "Boys?" The woman with the purple hair tips called, as she and Tanjuro walked out to them. "Mr Tanjuro! Is- is Father- is he-!" Yuichiro stuttered, cursing himself for it. If their Father really was gone, he had to be strong for Muichiro- "he's fine. He's going to be fine. Sayuri healed his arm, and he just needs to rest now. Relax you two" Tanjuro said, pulling the Tokito twins into a hug.
"It's okay. Just breathe" Muichiro sobbed even harder in relief as he clutched onto the Demon man. "Thank you!" Yuichiro finally cried, nearly collapsing in relief. "You two should get some rest. Yuto will be fine. Don't worry" Shinobu assured. "We'll let you know when Mr Tokito wakes up" she said. "Thank you. Why don't I take you to see the other kids and you can get something to eat, then go to sleep" Tanjuro suggested. He helped the two boys to walk and took them, Sayuri following behind.
