Ashitaka looked down on San, his eyes drooped in a longing way.
He was riding away.
He could feel San watching him leave.
But he had to go; he had to get back to his people, to see if he could even come back.
The curse from the demon boar that had attacked him long ago was now just a little more than a scar.
The sun was beginning to set; he could feel the warmth leaving the area.
His ride stopped and snorted, it's hot breath made steam enter the air.
Ashitaka drew his grass like jacket around himself,
"Okay, we can stop now, it's getting late anyways."
His ride snorted and lifted its head in reply as Ashitaka slid off of him.
Ashitaka patted the neck of his 'beast' and then slid the reins off of the deer's face and pulled off its blanket.
As the large blanket, holding their supplies was brought off of the animal; it shook its head and sprinted off.
Ashitaka watched his ride gallop around the area, then stop to nibble at the grass.
Sighing, he walked over to the edge of the forest and laid down the blanket.
He brought out a small bit of food that he still had left and put it into a small cauldron.
Expertly, he put two sticks up and laid one on the top of those so that the cauldron could hang over a fire that he was trying to start.
Soon, there were a few sparks and a small blazing fire was heating the little food that he had in the cauldron.
As the food came to a boil, Ashitaka pulled the cauldron off of the fire and sat it down on the grass.
His ride came up to him and rubbed the side of its face against his shoulder, then laid down beside him.
Ashitaka took some of his soup and put it into a bowl then drank it slowly; all of his thoughts were drifting.
Every noise from the forest made him alert, he just had a strange feeling that everything that had happened was not over, it was itching at his mind, and he couldn't help but feel something that was not right.
His eyes shifted to a small ruffle in some bushes across from him.
All that remained there was a small acorn that had fallen from a tree.
Ashitaka lowered his head and sipped some more soup.
"I'm starting to get paranoid boy."
He said patting his ride lightly.
Once he was finished eating his fill, he packed everything up and looked around, it was pitch black out, above was clouds, they were silver due to the full moon.
There was a light white glow on everything around him.
Otherwise, everything was in a shadow, a dark, dark shadow.
Ashitaka looked to the moon, it was bright and a little covered by the clouds, sending a mystical effect throughout the sky.
There was a loud rustle of leaves in some tree's above him, he looked up, as did his ride, and all that was there was silence.
Even if there was light to see with, Ashitaka didn't think that he would be able to see the culprit.
But when his ride sighed through its nose and slid it's head down to sleep, Ashitaka felt it was safe to do the same.
He lay down with his head on his ride's belly, and starred at the sky.
His thoughts were beginning to annoy him, everything was there, every danger, he could just feel it, knawing at his mind.
Then something entered his mind, San.
He could feel her starring at the back of his head again, watching him leave her.
A wave of sorrow and something else came into his chest.
His chest felt heavy and his throat was tight.
He drew his arms up to his chest and sighed, he didn't quite know what he felt for her, she was so different.
He could see her, the first time he had seen her, blood dripping from her mouth as her wolves starred at him with her.
She never spoke, but all she could have said was being spoken.
But he liked that in a way.
Not in a way to take advantage to her, but because then he could teach her so many things and not have to feel like something was wrong.
Then he could laugh at her in a friendly way if she ever did something.
If.
That was a big one, if.
But there wouldn't be an, if, and he knew that.
Because if there 'was' an, if, then she would be with him right now.
She could be lying close to him, her breath making small puffs of vapor in the cold air.
But she wasn't there; she was miles away, too far to even be close. ' Ashitaka closed his eyes and turned to his side then curled up.
It was a bad attempt in trying to get the feeling of sadness to leave him.
He had never felt this before, and it was bothering him.
All he wanted. Was her.

San watched as Ashitaka rode over a hill.
Her brother nuzzled his nose into her side,
"We must go San."
He murmured to her.
San starred into the distance, something was heavy in her chest, something that was bothering her.
Absently, she turned to her brother and climbed onto his back, then lowered her chest down a bit as he burst foreword.
They soon ended up in the den.
There must have been at least 20 wolves there, and many more were out hunting.
It was a good thing that they didn't have to eat much to survive.
Only the gods, they had to eat a lot.
San perked up her ears when she heard the clicking of claws come towards her from behind, she turned her head to the wolves behind her, and each had food.
But what they had was not what she wanted to see.
Boar.
Their bodies were still painted; most of the corpses was burnt.
San turned up her nose in disgust, "How could you!?" She yelled.
The wolves carrying the boas dropped their food and growled at her,
"It was the easiest food to get, there is plenty!"
One yelled back.
San balled up her fists and took a step foreword,
"They were our friends, you don't eat friends!"
She yelled. The wolves all were silent.
The one who had spoken before growled,
"They were not friends, they killed and were killed, we have not done anything wrong, but eat what is already dead!"
San's eyes narrowed and she tightened her fists.
The wolves around her growled and sneered,
"You are defending food San, you may be a god's daughter in spirit, but you are human!"
The one wolf sneered.
The den grew completely silence.
San took a step foreword, "I am not human you idiot! I am a wolf!"
The wolf chucked lightly,
"If you were a wolf, you would walk like us, look like us and be just like us!"
San growled she hated being human.
"That is still no excuse for eating our friends that defended us, that defended 'you' when you were a pup!"
With that San ran out of the den and started to sprint down some paths.
She knew everything off by heart, every path, every turn.
She only had to look up every once in a while.
As she ran foreword, she heard nothing but silence.
Silence, something that was beginning to haunt her.
Suddenly she stopped and starred at her feet.
The edge of her toe was just hardly touching another's, not a paw, but a food, a boot, leather.
Human.
