When We Were Young

"So it's decided than, the girl will survive on her own. If it was
meant for her to live"
"No!" A hysterical woman screamed while clutching a child to her
breast." Please Kasa, don't take my child away! Please you can't be so cruel! Saku just died you-you can't take away my child too!"
"Stop your yells Kytoko; be grateful your child has a chance of living." She understood what the chief demon implied. She held her quivering daughter an arms length from her. Long ebony hair was all the child inherited from her mother. From her father the girl had emerald eyes holding a deep sparkle within, long graceful fingers ending in razor sharp claws, adorable fangs, and of a pair of perky half demon ears. The half demon possessed wisdom not unlike other demons her age; really it was more of an instinct." Mommy? Mommy did I do something wrong?" The fright in her young eyes steeled her mother against all self pity in order to prepare her daughter for the hard life she knew lay ahead.
"No honey it's nothing you did. It was me, I did something wrong." The baby half demon began to cry.
"Kagome stop! You'll be fine; you're going to mature into a fine young girl.
Don't be scared, be strong and survive, survive for me, my Kagruma.""Ok mommy" she sniffed.
