"Mama! Mama!" Cried the tiny Kagome, "Come on, mama! Y..y..you need to wake up. Papa will be sad if you don't stay strong."
Her shouts fell on deaf ears, the strong half breed she knew was that her mother was long gone. Her mother could live no longer without her mate, due to their mate-bond they had chosen a full bonding. Kagome continued to shake her mother hoping she way only sleeping. As futile as it was, but what child would ever think their parent wasn't invincible.
The whole cave was silent other than Kagome's sad broken voice, just like it always had been. The only content warmth had ever been in that cave known as home now snuffed out, forever and now growing dimmer each second.
The echo of her last words still ringing within Kagome's small elven ears, "Don't hide as I had to, my little pup. Be free, like your papa wanted for us both. You are my greatest treasure. Never forget who you are. And I love you my... little pup..."
Numbness raced through that one little girl after thinking about what her mother meant with her words and the chill of her once warm hand, made it real.
"I'm... I... I'm all... all alone." Kagome said with tears cascading down her cheeks.
"Aaah!" Kagome yelled, "damn it!" The young demoness cried once again. "Why? Why can't that stop?" She growled out. Every time, why do I keep seeing it? Over and over again. What did I do? Or that I let mama die? Why must every night I relive that moment? Did I make the gods angry because of what I am, and what am capable of?
The little demoness woke up in a cold sweat, because of the memory of 25 years ago. It still haunts the poor girl, both physically and mentally. Being forced to grow up faster than any child ever should, out in the rough and cruel feudal era. Rouge demons and rough weather unforgiving every day is a battle for a young child of any race.
"Damn it. I must be moving along before being found. Stupid dream making this even harder." Kagome muttered under her breath.
The once safety of the old elm tree, now a risk to be in if anything earshot heard her cry. Focusing her powers to hide both her scent and sound, to move with safety. Jumping from tree to tree, both in fear of being found and to look for anything to eat. Within the dense forest, the little demoness had been in for over two weeks.
After what felt like eons, only really an hour. Finally in sight a plump bunny, perfect for a long-awaited meal. With no training whats so ever on hunting, the young demon tried her best once again to slowly land on the ground while still hiding her sent and any sound she could make. With a mighty lunge, claw at the ready leaped the demoness. But the damn fluffy bastard moved out of the way before her claws came close to the meaty devil. She gave chase but the long-eared hair was too fast for her. Yet again a pointless endeavor, zapping at her strength.
The only good sound to be heard for miles was the sweet relief of water, about two miles North of Kagome. "Well, no meat again. Better at least get a drink." She mumbled. She climbed a nearby tree and headed in the direction of the stream, along the way berries could be found. It's better than starving to death, better eat as much as I can. Kagome ate as she went to the only water source she had found in weeks.
The clearing she had stumbled upon held the stream which she desired, without thinking the tiny girl went to the sweet water to quench her thirst. Along the stream on the other side was an abundance of different berries. The sweet scents of tasty juicy fruits, brightening sight. Stilling being rash she jumped across, and greedily ate as many as she could.
Within a few minutes, two of the bushes were picked clean, by the short demoness. The berries not being the best diet for the young girl, but not eating anything would only make things harder. Even if she could go up to three weeks without eating or drinking if she had too.
Wait... Something off. She thought, now realizing a new sent in the area about an hour old. Damn it, I can't recognize what it was. Slowly acting much like an adorable bunny she sniffed the air with her elfen ears trying to pinpoint any sound out of place.
Then without so much as a warning, she jumped into a nearby tree barely escaping a pair of arms. Acting on pure instincts she ran, whoever attempted to attacked not far behind.
That's all for the first chapter. I hope you liked it. : )
