Chapter One

x-X-x

Kagome coughed up water as she felt the cool sand against her skin, as well as the salty taste from the water in her mouth. She didn't know what happened; everything was a blur….she remembered she was on a boat with her parents, and her name was Kagome, but nothing really helpful to her. Slowly getting up she walked barefoot across the sand and towards the trees that could get her out of the open.

Kagome leaned against the tree, as her little four shook. She didn't know anything about survival…she was only 5 years old. What was she suppose to know?

Walking further in the woods she tried to look for a place she could hide….she may be young but she knew that this place was dangerous.

The noises of nature made Kagome jump in surprise, never once in her life had she heard them before and the unknown started to set fear in her heart, making her look harder for a place to hide so that she could sleep safely. Finding a hollow tree, Kagome cautiously looked inside.

Deeming it safe, she crawled in and huddled to where there were more shadows, bringing her knees to her chest and rested her forehead on them. With her hair draped around her form, Kagome closed her eyes and fell asleep from the exhaustion she got from being swept onto the beach and fighting the tides.

Kagome's eyes snapped at the sound of a terrifying roar in the distance. Peeking up out of the tree shakily, the small girl waited to see if it would happen again. Only a few moments later, it did, and she tried to shrink back into the wood. She didn't know what it was, but that agonizing roar scared her.

Water dropped onto her head, and Kagome squinted up at the hole in the tree. More droplets fell onto her head, and she looked back out at the forest around her. Rain…

'Now remember, Kagome,' the words passed through her head easily, and she faintly recognized the voice as her mother. 'Never stay out in the rain – you'll get sick!'

"Momma…" The rain began to pour more heavily over her, and Kagome crawled out of the tree, looking for another place with more shelter.

Slipping through the thick mud, her clothes clinging to her skin, Kagome searched the trees for anything that could keep the rain off of her head. Nothing looked anything like the flashes she remembered of where she first came from, so she had no idea what would help her. "Momma…"

What happened to them? Where did the boat go? Why did they leave her? Kagome didn't know, but she wanted them to come back to help her.

The ground below her collapsed and Kagome yelped as she fell through. When she had hit the ground, she hissed in slight pain before looking around and saw nothing but darkness. Every time lightning flashed, light came in through the holes from above. The place looked like an underground cave… with coverage much better than the tree she was first taking shelter in.

Coming out of the rain that was falling through the hole she fell through, Kagome rested against the nearest wall before looking around with alert eyes.

She stiffened when she heard the roar again, but this time it was closer. Kagome looked around in horror, as she heard the breaking of twigs, and the sound of something getting closer.

Kagome about screamed in horror when she felt hot breath on her cheek, as well the coolness from the animal's nose. Whimpering Kagome closed her eyes, waiting for the animal to eat her, but she was surprised when she felt a warm tongue go across her cheek.

She blinked a couple times before she moved towards the entrance where she saw light streaming in.

With the flash of light, Kagome caught a pair of almost menacing lime green eyes and fur of yellow with black spots; a leopard, and a strong one with the broadness of its torso. The young Asian girl looked at the wild cat in the eyes, unable to look away while the leopard looked right back at her.

Sabor was making his way to shelter when he picked up the scent of something...something he was not used to, so he had decided to find it. But he wasn't prepared to find a little...girl...by herself...and looking into his eyes with no hint of fear.

Interesting… This creature wasn't afraid of him like everything else in this forest. Even the gorillas stayed out of his way, yet this tiny, hairless… thing held only awe in her bright blue-green eyes.

The taste of her skin stayed on his tongue for several moments, but Sabor didn't find anything delicious about it. She was dirty, soaked with rain water, and he had just eaten, so he continued to stare at her. Finally, she broke the small dominance game as she shuddered violently.

Sabor looked at the water pooling around her, dripping from the strange mesh covering her body. Now that he thought about it, that male and female he killed a few years ago wore something similar to that, probably to keep warm since they had no fur. The leopard snorted lightly and walked around the girl to pick her up by the scruff of the mesh. As wet as it was, it wouldn't keep her warm now.

Kagome squeaked as she felt herself being lifted up. She had stared in wonder at the giant cat for several minutes, but she shuddered when a wind blew through the cave. Now she could only hang from the leopard's mouth as it trotted out of the cave and through the rain.

Her hope was smothered by disappointment, however, when they entered the house and found it empty. Dust settled heavily across all the beaten up furniture, and rain water leaked in through the roof. Sabor carefully released her, letting her fall on the soft cushion the cub had laid on before she-gorilla took him away.

Kagome frowned slightly as the leopard dropped her into a cradle then settled on the floor to watch her intently. She wasn't a baby anymore – she didn't need a cradle… but the blankets were very warm. The girl snuggled into the heavy cloth, refusing to admit that she was acting like her baby brother did. "Souta…"

Sabor's ears pricked upward at the sound of her soft, pathetic voice. It wasn't intimidating at all. He narrowed his eyes in thought. How were these animals supposed to stay alive if they had no fur, and didn't strike fear into the hearts of any who would attack them?

But then again, this little one was still small and a youngling, so she couldn't really do anything much on her own. Once he started to hear her breathing even out, Sabor shook himself off of the water that soaked his fur before lying himself next to where the youngling now slept.

Despite that it may be against him, he decided to take care of the little one; it showed him no fear so why kill it?

Besides, by raising it as his own, Sabor could teach it to survive on its own. Sabor walked to where the young one was, and curled up around it, he would keep her warm. And tomorrow he would take her back to the others, but for now he would sleep.
