Disclaimer: I don't own Princess Mononoke, but I want to own Ashitaka, cuz he's one hot bishounen! ^_-
Author's Note: Here is my attempt at an AshitakaXSan fic. I usually write Outlaw Star fics, so don't flame me. All I wanted to do is write a story that reflects my love for the movie, and Ashitaka! Note this is only the first chapter. Oh, and I don't know the names of the wolves so I gave them names.
Humanity: Chapter One
By Eternal Moonbeam
No. She couldn't love him. Not then, not now. She was a wolf, he was human. And San knew she hated humans. Hated them for the destruction of the forest. Hated them for the killing of the great gods. Hated them for being human.
But there was light. There was hope. There was Ashitaka. Ashitaka, the great gentle warrior she knew she loved. But alas, it would never work out.
But she was so drawn to him. He was so handsome, so gentle, yet in a fiery rage he was lethal. He would be her lifemate, but yet he was human.
San ran from her den, holding her head in confusion. Her two brothers, Kypp and Kojiro, followed her anxiously.
San, what is wrong? Kypp asked her. San turned to her gentler brother, her usual mount.
"Kypp, I'm confused," San said. Her wolven brother nuzzled her shoulder.
It's that human boy, Ashitaka, isn't it? Kojiro said. His absence is causing you pain.
"It is not!" San complained. "Nothing like that is the cause! I hate Ashitaka! I hate all humans!" But in her heart, she doubted that.
Sister, you know that is not true, Kypp said. Why are you denying your heart? It is not like we hate Ashitaka like the other humans. Moro accepted Ashitaka. She knew he was special, as are you. Do not cause yourself pain, sister. It is unwise.
San began to protest, but began laughing as a Kodama fell onto her shoulder. The little tree spirit clacked, and scurried off.
You may be a wolf at heart, San, but your body is human, Kojiro said. The other wolves are not suitable for your lifemate. And Ashitaka is the farthest from a human that we will accept for you. Remember what Moro said, dear sister, this boy wanted to share his life with you.
"But he's so human, and he lives in Iron Town," San said firmly. "I cannot take him as my mate."
It is your sole decision, San, but be reminded we do not like our Princess in this state of depression, Kojiro barked and whisked his tail. At this the two wolves left their sister with her troubled thoughts.
Sorry it's so short! But this is only the first chapter! I just bought the Princess Mononoke DVD and I love Ashitaka, and I had to write a fic about him and San!
