I own nothing but this plunny that tends to wander in my room.
Chapter 3: A Trail
Sophia had learned a number of things in the last two days since she had been rescued by Kagome from the walkers. Kagome knew how to be both a mommy and a real daddy. Kagome could get them food and cook it like a chef. Kagome could protect them from walker easily and taught them a lot of things everyday both survival and school things. She could make clothes real fast too! As Sophia was wearing a spare kimono of Rin's that was tailored to fit her better while she waited for her clothes to dry.
She was also a very good nurse. Kagome had inspected Sophia's ankle after they tried to make way to the little group's campsite and she cried in has twisted her ankle badly and Kagome had carried her on her back across the woods and up the trees into their beds. Yes, Kagome felt safe, she had bandaged her ankle and cared for it properly. Holding her and the rest of the children though the night.
The little blond girl was happy that she could still act like a child most of the time, like earlier she and other little girl were picking flowers while an older boy and a cat were keeping guard. Sophia had also learned that her rescuer, Kagome, was traveling in a group with only three other people.
Kagome's little brother, Sota Higurashi, who was the boy currently watching over her and the other little girl. The other little girl was called Rin Higurashi, she was Kagome's adopted daughter. Then finally the last member of their group was Kirara, a magic cat.
Yes, Sophia was sure that the twin-tailed kitty was magic. Her reasoning was the itty bitty kitty could kill walkers (or as the rest of the group would say Ningyō even if she couldn't pronounce it correctly) by herself.
Yes, this little group was special. All of them were family, but they treated her like family too. Even so she was worried for her own Mama as nice as Kagome was and all, it wasn't the same.
"Koneko-chan!" And Kagome still called her Ko-ne-co, when she said her name was Sophia. The two other children called her Sophia though.
"Kagome, what does Co-knee-co mean?" Kagome paused in her cooking of three large rabbits and blinked at the word.
"Um,...ah! Kitten." Sophia pouted at the comparison inwardly, she wanted to be grown up but oh well as long as some like Kagome was looking after all of them it was nice being a kid.
Kagome laughed at her cooing, "So cute," before returning to cooking the food properly.
Sophia sat and watched next to her, when Sota and Rin had came back from picking berries and edible greens from the woods. They hadn't found a whole lot a few wild berries and leaves but was the most interesting thing that they had with them was a hunter's arrow. Sophia shot up and grabbed the arrow from Rin. She knew this arrow. This was Mr. Daryl's arrow!
"We found it near the river near a fall. A couple of dead Ningyōs too, Nee-chan." Souta told his sister in English all having tried to make the girl comfortable and refrained for the most part from speaking in their native tongue. With Rin nodding in agreement of Sota's story.
"Mr. Daryl..." They all looked at the little blond girl in question.
Well I apologize for the wait and the size of it but Senior year is now over!
Hope you all enjoyed. Any suggestions or comments would be great.
