Listen to this while reading it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
one rainy day, there was a little girl running in the wood trying her best to get back home, her body was covered by wet bandage

she was trying her best to get back to the shelter, but she was stopped when she saw a figure laying on the wet ground with it's legs with the foot hit by a big rock

"ah my wounds will get worse"
she said while try to lift the big rock

she take the the limp fox back to the shelter with her

because of that wound, the fox will never be able to walk again

the little girl took pity on the fox, she decided to take care of him

day by day she bring back foods for the fox, while the fox can't even stand by it's own

while the fox eating the little girl took of her bandage and change it to a new one

"i was abandoned by the village"
she said

"because I have a strange disease, everyone doesn't want to be infected, I was exiled to the mountain"

she wrapped the new bandages with careful

"when I saw you, i saw myself in you"

she was smiling and the fox, but sadly the fox didn't understand what she said

they continue to live together, until the day that the fox suddenly get sick

the little girl was panicking, she didn't know what to do, when the fox panting heavily

"wait here, I'll search for some medicine"

the little girl ran out the shelter with her little foot

It's getting dark and the little girl hasn't come back yet

the fox tried to drag himself to the front of the door, hoping he could see the figure of the little girl

it kept waiting and waiting, until finally on a rainy day it breathed it last

the fox's soul was indeed gone, but the strong desire to meet the little girl remained, that desire turned into a figure who replaced the fox in search of the girl

but the formation of the demon figure took a long time, it caused a change of generations

when the demon awakens, he doesn't know what to do in this 21th century, he doesn't know where to look

he can only tell their story through a song, hoping that one day he can find a purpose to stay alive

~•~•~•~

one drizzly day, as usual he sang a song about the story of the fox, and as usual only the forest animals heard his story.

"beautiful song, but very heartbreaking" the soft voice made the fox demon stop

the figure of a human girl appeared from behind the tree, her hands fumbled around, making sure she didn't fall when she stepped

The fox demon saw her white eyes

_'ah she's blind'_
He thought

"Can I sit here?"

the fox-demon was silent when the girl sat nearby

"I follow your singing, I'm very curious about who sings every rainy day"

The fox didn't say anything, he kept on listening to the girl who kept praising her voice and singing
