When We Were Young

The young demon reached a clearing in the dense forest. His plan was to stop, leave Kagome there, and take off again. He wasn't going to look at her. He didn't want to talk to her. He wanted no reason to want to stay longer than necessary.
He knew as soon as he looked into her innocent emerald orbs, he could never desert her. Never leave this poor adorable creature to the elements. As he moved to leave, weight pressed onto his leg. It was a small trembling ball.
He knocks her unconscious in order to leave *
He takes her to a hidden point to raise her himself
He kills her
"I'm sorry Kag" as he rapidly knocked her unconscious. With one last look he leapt into the forest. He left Kagome all alone.
Kagome soon adapted to the forest life. Whenever she smelled another
demon she simply ran the other way. As for food, the trial and error system worked well. She just had to learn to become a vegetarian, although she still wished for meat every once and a while. Sooner or later she purely forgot the taste, and thus her longing ended. Even her life as a clan child faded into a distant memory.
Kagome grew lonely of course but that was normal for a child of only 8 years. Yet her loneliness grew and grew till she decided one day to find some other demon who might, with some begging, take her in. Packing did not bother, she had nothing to pack. One day she merely started walking.
Three days she walked without hindrance. Around noon on the 4th day a crisp cool scent floated on the breeze. Kagome knew it was a blessing. She hadn't had a drink sense her journey started. She soon reached the roaring river.
