Hey folks! OMG, Princess Mononoke is my favorite movie all over again. I've loved it forever, but I watched it today and i was just like, WOW. I NEED TO WRITE SOMFIN...
So write somfin I will. This is going to be a lengthy story, but I'll try to get it mostly finished by the time christmas break is over. Here's the extended summary:
Ashitaka returns to the forest after six months, and gets an unexpected (but at the same time expected) greeting from her. After a few very fluff-filled pointless months, the two wolf brothers Kohaku and Akira kidnap Ashitaka from his temporary shack on the borders of the village, and drag him to the cave that they and the princess of beasts lives, for resins you'll have to find out on your own. Don't be lazy. Filled with fluff and wolf brothers playing matchmaker.
Wow, even that sucked...
Hey, did you guys know that Kya, the girl who Ashitaka called his little sister was the girl he was engaged too? o.O you learn some freaky shit when you look stuff up... /#liferuined...
ASHITAKA'S P.O.V., THIRD PERSON-
Ashitaka awoke to the sun piercing through his eyelids. He groaned, and sat up in his meager cot. He looked around his shabby hut built out of twigs. He hadn't meant to stay here quite so long, he didn't know complications would keep him from returning to San. It had been ten months since he had made that promise to the girl he loved, and he simply couldn't keep it. The townspeople were reluctant to let him go, and he suspected it was not an accident Yakuul had fallen ill. It was easy to induce sickness with berries.
He was surprised to cursed abode had stood up for this long. He had fully intended to go back into the forest, and stay there. Make a little house for himself out of stones and wood, big enough for him and another person. His second intention was to ask for her hand in marriage, of course after her wolf brothers accepted him.
Ashitaka got up and pulled on his shirt. With his eyes still closed in a grimace, he opened the door into the crisp spring air. To the young man's surprise, Yakuul was waiting, prancing in the dewy grass. "Yakuul?" He asked. "You're better?" The red elk nuzzled against his chest affectionately. Ashitaka smiled at his friend. Then, an exiting thought came into his head. He could now visit San! He didn't have the energy or stamina to reach the part of the forest she lived in on foot, unlike his steed who could outrun any horse he had ever encountered. "Yes." He silently answered himself, and walked back into his hut. he gathered his few possessions, they were really not many. "Come on, Yakuul." He said. "We're going to the forest."
Ashitaka and Yakuul walked calmly through Iron town. Toki caught up with him. "Now, where do you think you're going?" She asked. "I was looking for you, to tell you the news." She said. "What news?" Ashitaka was puzzled. "I'm pregnant, you dope! Korohku had it in him, after all." She chuckled. Ashitaka smiled. "Good for you." Yakuul pawed the ground. "As for you're earlier question, I'm leaving. For the forest." He said. "And for wolf girl, right?" Toki teased. Ashitaka looked down. "Yes." He mumbled as he and Yakuul started walking again. Toki smiled after him as he left.
Getting out was easy, they hadn't rebuilt the huge wooden door again, so he could come and go as he pleased. Some people tried to stop him, but he just hopped on Yakuul and sped off towards the forest. An incredible sense of feeling came into him. "Im going to see her...I'm finally going to see her, after all these months..."
SAN'S P.O.V., THIRD PERSON-
San sat on the edge of the stone overhang coming out from the cave she and her brothers Kohaku and Akira lived in. They were sitting next to her, wagging their tails. "You know, San, You really need to stop thinking about him. He's had his chance, he didn't come. There are other fish in the sea." Kohaku woofed. She swatted him. "No, there AREN'T. He's the only one for me. IF I ever were to have a mate." She growled angrily. Akira shrugged. "Brother, maybe it's a good thing he hasn't come. We don't need our little sister pregnant, now do we." the two wolves enjoyed a short-lived laugh before she hit both of them. "I'm going for a walk." She growled. San got up and left fast enough so they didn't see that she was starting to cry.
She sat down on a small rock beside a sunlight-struck pool, her arms on her knees, and her her head on her arms. "Why hasn't he come back?" She asked herself sadly. "He promised he would... I've waited so long..."
Suddenly she heard an exited voice calling out her name. Only one person new her name besides her brothers. "Ashitaka!" She howled into the sky. "San!" he hopped off of Yakuul and started running towards her voice. He stopped and realized he didn't know where he was. "San?" he called. Suddenly, he was crashed to the ground by a very exited San. "Ashitaka!" She cried happily, holding onto his chest like there was no future. He laughed and put his arms around her. "You took too long." she whimpered into his shirt, then pulled away. "Where were you?" She had a tinge of fire in her eyes. He put a hand on her arm warningly. "I was kept back by Iron town. And they poisoned Yakuul." He said softly. Her expression melted and she sank back into his chest. "I thought you had forgotten about me." She whispered. Ashitaka put his arms back over her. "I could never forget about you, San."
Normal P.O.V.
The two lovers (even if they didn't know they were lovers) rested quietly in the soft bed of tall, spring grass and flowers, drifting in and out of sleep and enjoying each others warmth and company, the soft spring air. But they both snapped awake when they heard a deep snarl. "Well, well, well... What do we have here?"
Ha ha ha! Minor cliffie.
