The young girl was slowly awakened by voices she decided to just sit back and listen to them.
'Do you think she's O.K.? ' Voice # 1 asked
'Who knows she's been asleep for 2 days know. ' Voice # 2 responded
'Why don't we leave? ' The gruffer voice # 3 asked
'It was the demons last request that we stay with her. ' Voice # 1 said ' It is the least we can do, they both seemed so kind. '
"What do you mean last request." Suddenly the girl's eyes shot open and she looked around for the one who spoke, but she saw no on there.
"Who's there!" the girl cried
'The demon can hear us!' Voice # 2 cried sounding surprised.
"Of course I can, now show your selves"
Voice # 1 responded slowly.
"Where?"
'Here!' Voice # 1 answered frustrated.
Suddenly a small white rabbit jumped onto the girls lap. And for the first time she looked down. And saw before her the rabbit, a squirrel and a badger. She looked at them with great surprise.
'I never heard of a female Yuka being able to talk to animals.' The badger (who by the way was voice # 3) grumbled.
Kagome was puzzled by what he meant. She looked down as she stroked the rabbit's fur. Suddenly she gasped as she noticed that the hand that was stroking the rabbit had long claws. * Did I really turn into a demon?! * She slowly started to study her new features. Instead of her long black hair it was silver. Her ears now were pointed at the tips and she now had fangs.
She sat back and tried to calm herself. * Ok think carefully, what happened * suddenly she remembered the Sesshomaru. "Where did he go?" she asked the animals "the demon boy who was with me."
The animals suddenly stood perfectly still, their eyes full of sympathy. (A/N Sesshomaru is NOT dead!)
'His last request was that we wait for you to wake and make sure you were Ok.' The Squirrel looked down sadly.
"You mean he's not coming back?"
' No, He's not.'
The little girl looked to stun to respond. Slowly she stood up and said, "So there is nothing keeping me here." The animals slowly followed her
' Please, may I ask where you are going?' The squirrel asked.
"I'm going back to the village to get my stuff."
'We will go with you.' The old Badger said gruffly.
"Do as you wish."
As she walked along the forest she stared to hum the tune that Sesshomaru would sing.
As she slowly walked through the forest every animal that heard her mournful tune followed behind her. By the time she reached the village just about every animal in the forest was walking, flying, jumping, and waddling behind her. All the people there gasped, to stun to move.
Still humming her mournful tune she entered her hut and came back out with a small amount of money and clothes she owned and left, never to be seen by those people for many years.
When she entered the forest again she found that she couldn't move.
Finally she collapsed from hunger, thirst and her crying heart.
All of the animals quickly rushed to her side. After finally deciding that she would be Ok, they organized (I know it sounds stupid but its my story and animals can organize if I say they can.) into groups. All of the mountain cats and wolves surrounded her trying to keep her warm the best they could, while the scavengers of the forest went out and found berries and water for her when she awoke then they all fell asleep.
She awoke later that night warm but hungry. As she stirred, the animals keeping her warm drew their noses to her and nuzzled her.
'Here, eat to your hearts content little one' A doe softly cooed as she nudged the food towards her.
"Thank you all," she replied softly tears slowly streaming down her face again, "I don't know how to thank you."
'You don't have to.' Replied the doe.
"I thank you vary much for your kindness."
"He's really gone isn't he?"
The young rabbit who had been at her side replied 'yes, but he must have really cared for you.'
Kagome just nodded, her throat was too tight to say any thing. She sat there and ate the food and drank the water that they provided for her. She looked around at her surroundings and noticed that she was near the field. Her field. No hers and Sesshomaru's field. Suddenly she felt the urge to get away, as far away from all of those happy memories. They seemed to go strait into her heart know that she knew that she wouldn't see Sesshomaru's smiling face waiting for her.
"I don't want to sound rude or anything, but do you know of a place that I can say, where no one can bother me for a bit? I need to be alone for a little bit." Kagome asked
'There are two places in the whole forest that both animals and demons tend to stay away from.' An older wolf told her. 'One is the field up ahead.'
"You said there was another place?" She asked softly, not even wanting to think about going there, for while at least.
'Yes but it is about a nights journey on foot.' the wolf responded
'I know that place vary well.' Said a young stag 'I could get you there in half the time if you clime on my back.'
The girl nodded and climbed onto the young stag's back, the stag noted that she could barely clime on she was so worn out.
'Hold on tight' the Stag said softly as he dashed off into the darkness.
The Kagome tried to note her surroundings but by the time they passed an old well in the middle of a clearing she couldn't deny her body the rest any longer.
The stag slowed down when she felt the child collapse, finally. They had almost reached the ancient God tree. It had stood there for as long as he could remember. No one ever came there any more. He knew that the girl would be safe.
He slowly laid down a few feet away from the tree, careful not to knock of his precious cargo as he slid her to the ground. 'Sweet dreams young one,' the stag said softly as he slipped in to the forest 'May the gods protect you.' And with that the stag disappeared leaving the young girl to slept peacefully for the rest of the night.
