In the beginning…a forest god roamed. He lived a long life; he lived the longest of any thing, longer than dirt, longer life, longer than love. But one day a woman killed his physical body. But his spirit lived on. Two human hands that were affected by a curse gave his head back. The forest god loathed them for he thought that they were the ones who killed his physical self. He vowed that each of their children shall be cursed. There was San the wolf girl who hated humans, and Ashitaka the Prince banished from his small village in the west.

On one night Ashitaka found San depressed. He hugged her, but San has never been hugged before. San Looked into his eyes and did something she has never done before; she kissed Ashitaka. That night Ashitaka and San were missing. San woke up at dawn and turned over expecting to see her wolf brothers, but instead she found Ashitaka sound asleep. Realizing what she has done she ran away into the depths of the forest. Five weeks have past when Ashitaka and San spent the night together. And San started to feel a little queasy. Every morning she barfed. Unable to figure out what was wrong with her she had sent for Ashitaka to help her. When Ashitaka was unable to cure her, San was depressed. Then Ashitaka suggested that he would go get a human doctor form Iron town. San was out of options, so she said yes. Ashitaka brought the doctor he spent very little time on her before he had realized the problem. San was pregnant. Hearing these words was like having an arrow shooting through her hart. "Me!! Pregnant?? That means a human child is growing inside my body," she thought. San had nine months to make her decision that will change her life. On the day of the child's birth San made up her mind she will give the child to Ashitaka and when she is old enough Ashitaka will take the child and she or he will meet his or her mother for the first time. It was at night when the child was born and it was a girl. She looked like her mother but any one can plainly see that she had Ashitaka eyes. When Ashitaka heard that the child was being born he raced over to San on Yakkul, his red elk. When he got there he saw San holding a baby girl. San slowly got up (she was still weak from the birth) and handed the baby to him and whispered in his ear. "Her name is Kayato, I want you to bring her back when she is ready to meet me. You are her father and I know you will raise her well," San turned around and headed into her cave with her wolf brothers. A tear stream down Ashitaka's cheek and landed on the sleeping baby's forehead. With the baby safely in his arms he rode safely back to Iron Town. When he got there many of the women was wondering what he had brought. When Ashitaka tried to get down from Yakkul Kayato slipped from his arms. Luckily, a girl named Toki caught it. When she looked under the blankets Toki heard a small laughter. "O MY GOSH!!!" she yelled " It's a baby…….Ashitaka where did u get her??" Blushing Ashitaka replied, " I found her the forest," "she looks so like Princess Mononoke!" one girl yelled. Another said " Maybe she got knocked up with some guy and forsaken the baby" that was followed by giggles. Right then Lady Eboshi came walking out of her home in the center of the town. She still looked strange to Ashitaka with her one arm missing. She walked over to Toki who was still holding the baby, and she took one look at the baby and asked for her name. "Kayato," he answered and walked into his little hut next to Eboshi elaborate Palace.

A week past and a crowed of women, that surrounded Ashitaka's house, slowly faded as the sun sets. Since Ashitaka doesn't know any thing about babies he has one of his closest friends to help him, Hoshi and Toki, who have children of their own. " Ashitaka I know you know whose Kayato's mother is, to please tell us," Hoshi said. " Hoshi, I said this over and over again I do not know the mother!" Ashitaka said. Hoshi Replied, "well do you know who the mother IS??" Ashitaka sighed and said, " I'm going out side to get a drink," with those words he left " Hoshi there's no use asking Ashitaka he is never going to tell us. Most of the girls already assume it is Princess Mononoke and Ashitaka, are the parents so drop it," Toki said. Ashitaka walked in drenched in water " Who ever owns a dog should tie him up and never let him out of their sight" he said in a annoyed tone. The two girls giggled. " Ashitaka I got to go I don't trust my husband with out child to long," Hoshi said. "And so do I, bye Ashitaka!" Toki replied. The two women left the little house and Ashitaka laid the sleeping baby on his bed. He walked over to his window, which has a great view of the mountain, he sighed and whispered " how am I going to take care of Kayato, she needs her mother," and Ashitaka look over at the sleeping Kayato and said " Don't worry Kayato your still loves you," and Ashitaka sighed "San… she needs you,"
