Today was the day she was allowed back outside. She had been confined to a shed for 2 years. The rest of the orphanage residents didn't want her in the house, but Totosai didn't want her to leave. He wanted to save her which she thought was funny because nothing was wrong with her. She had laughed at him when he said it, but she understood now.
In the shed, with only a doll to keep her company, she heard the children outside play and dare newcomers to knock on her door to see if she'd come out and killed them. At first, the new kids didn't believe the others. Only when she knocked back, did she receive the title of 'shed monster'. And only when she asked why she was called a monster did she learn she had killed a boy. She had cried.
Totosai-san began to condition her. Holding her doll, she would remain calm. She was let out out for an hour, and a girl was given a broken arm after Kagome's doll had been taken from the owner's arms. Then, Totosai blind folded her. Holding the doll, she was calm. Blindfolded, she was unable to give her source of anger an identity.
Today, she stood in the light, her doll safe in her arms, and her eyes blind to every threat she would perceive. The air was full of laughter and the earth vibrated with joyous activities. A large hand rested on her thin shoulder.
"Totosai-san."
"Kagome, welcome!"
"I didn't leave Totosai-san." She giggled.
"You were never here," When the girl looked sharply up at him, he chuckled. "Physically, yes. But, Kagome-chan, the sweet girl that stands before me now was not here 2 years ago. This is a new you. A better you." He patted her on the head, and then led her over to a tree that shadowed her from the harsh summer rays.
