*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

***Back with San. After her argument with Ashitaka, San ran until she reached the waterfall. There she took a rest and started to clean her cuts.

"Dammit! How come I shunned Ashitaka like that? What am I going to do?" She said out loud to herself, whimpering occasionally at the pain. The wolf sat beside her.

"Well my Princess, Ashitaka might not come back. You were very harsh on him. He came to see you after many months and as soon as he does, you yell at him. Didn't you have to speak with him any way?" The wolf said to her.

This made San feel all the guiltier about what she had done. "He wouldn't leave just like that! . Oh shut up already, I'll find him. Then. I'll explain myself." She yelled at the wolf.

She got up once again and set out in search of Ashitaka. The wolf padded softly behind her at her feet. The light from the moon guided there way through the darkness.

***Back with Ashitaka Ashitaka stopped to set up camp. As he dismounted Yakkul, he was reminded of the dream he had the night before.

***Ashitaka's Dream. San ran along the paths in the forest. The light from the moon reflected off of the water. She looked beautiful in the moonlight. As Ashitaka approached her, he saw worry and dismay etched on her face. Tears shone as they slid down her soft face. She seemed to call out his name.but nothing was heard. She needed to tell him. Something was bothering her. But Ashitaka could only stare at her as she silently confessed what was on her mind. As he moved towards her in a reassuring embrace, she disappeared in his arms.

***End of Dream

Ashitaka wanted to see San, to see if every thing was okay. He was reminded of her earlier. Her eyes and personality surely didn't change, but her figure and looks were much more pleasing to him. Over the years, she became a woman. Her hair reached just below her shoulders, she was tall and slim and grew out of the clothes she wore when she was younger. Instead, she had a tunic-like dark green dress on that reached to her thighs. Her dagger was shoved down in her boots and she still wore her earrings. She was beautiful even though she was a bloody mess, but.she still wasn't herself. He decided to wait till the morning, then he would surely seek her out again, in hopes that he wouldn't be turned down. Determined and satisfied, he fell into a deep sleep.

***Ashitaka's Dream He was back in his home village, the very village that made him an outcast. It was a crisp summer morning. He watched the morning fog roll in off the hills as he stood in the market place. It was busy and crowded as the people awoke. Rumors were heard throughout the town. People were pushing and shoving past him. They whispered in his ears:

"She is dead. The Wise Woman is dead!"

"Sickness is everywhere!"

"Help us Ashitaka or chaos will return once again to this land!"

***End of Dream.

Ashitaka awoke with a cold sweat. It seemed so real.Could his dreams possibly be trying to tell him something? Ashitaka sat there in the dark, trying to sort out his thoughts when he heard a rustling in the bushes. There in front of him stood San.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A/N- What's going to happen next? Well you'll just have to find out in the later chapters. Chapter 3 will be posted REALLY soon.
