Princess Mononoke

The Sequel to the Movie

"San, Hey, are you there?"

"Yeah, hey." San came out of the woods to greet her newfound friend Ashitaka. He was taller than she had last seen him and was a bit surprised when he sounded different too.

"Hey why do you sound different?"

"Something about part of growing up. I really don't notice these things at all."

"Oh. Well. Come on then let's go play."

"I spend five years over here and you still only want to play. Jeez you really are part wolf."

"Ashitaka, you know I'm not part wolf."

"Yes, I know. You were only raised by a talking wolf who called you her daughter." His sarcasm really annoyed her and she punched him in the arm.

"Stop with all the sarcasm I really hate that."

"You only hate it because it's true."

"Hey! I can very easily have you killed you know that?"

"Yes, San. I know. So what are we going to do today for our adventures?"

"Hmm. I haven't really thought about it. How about we go to the pond?"

"Okay that's fine with me."

"Awesome let's go." San led Ashitaka through the woods and they came to the pond and sat down. They watched as the fish swam by and the animals came to drink. San turned to Ashitaka to catch him looking at her out of the corner of his eye. She turned away and started watching the animals again. After sitting for a good while, they two slowly leaned in to each other. San would never say it aloud but she liked it when they were sitting like that. Being around him made her feel safe.

"This place is so peaceful isn't it?" He asked her. She wondered momentarily if he felt the same way about her as she did him.

"Yes, yes it is peaceful."

This is my first anime fanfiction. Princess Mononoke belongs to Hayao Miyazaki.
