San sat for a moment thinking about Ashitaka and how he how this had
to be tearing him up inside. San growled and turned her attention to
finding Kaiya. Searching through the battle, they had only been there for a
short time and already her clan was splattered with blood. That's when she
spotted Kaiya; she was sitting high on Cain and looking over her people,
but not fighting herself. Just looking at her sitting there San's anger
grew, she wasn't sure she could keep her temper in check if she went over
there, but she told Ashitaka she would try.
"Come on Kuso, we have to try."
"Can't I just-"
"No, you can't just nothing, I told Ashitaka I would try not to fight her, and just talk to her."
"Fine." Kuso snapped.
San maneuvered Kuso through the battlefield, avoiding any small squabbles between the wolves and humans. At the moment San's only goal was to get to Kaiya and stop this insanity.
"KAIYA!!" San called to her, and Kaiya in turn twisted to face San.
"And what do you want from me, woman?" Kaiya hissed.
"What I want is for you to stop this." San said. "This is a pointless fight, fueled by pointless anger."
"Sure, and that threat my brother imposed is very point full. You and my brother are as guilty here as I am."
"Are you insane? You killed are daughter."
"Yes, which has nothing to do with what transpires between us and Iron Town." Kaiya smiled sickly. "You shouldn't be here."
"Ashitaka considers the people of Iron Town family, so technically we have every right to be here. Meanwhile you don't, you march in here to attack them without any reason. Just like when you killed my little girl. You are a traitor to your people, your family, and yourself. Black suits your dark soul." San was reaching her breaking point. Listen to this girl's twisted logic with the noise of the fights in the background was making her sick. San muscles were tense and she looked like a cat ready to pounce.
"Well doesn't suit you at all unless it's soaked in blood!" Kaiya pounced at San leaving Cain's back, swinging her sword straight toward San's heart.
But San was quick and swung off of Kuso's back missing Kaiya's sword, and landing cat like on the ground. Kaiya flipped over Kuso's back as he jumped upward.
"Kuso go!" San yelled drawing her own dagger. Kuso responded by darting off into battle, and Cain took off after him. "Now it's just you and me girl."
"Yah, just the way I like it, no one to interfere." Kaiya gathered herself into a fighting position.
"You're a stupid girl, everything you've done is horrible and you find it so easy to justify it all."
"I've heard enough. Die sheep." Kaiya charged San, but San dodged again.
"Sheep!?"
"Yes you are a sheep in wolves clothing, you are too soft to be a wolf." Kaiya pushed away from San.
That last sentence was worst to San then if she had been hit by the sword. San soft, never, it was simply that she now knew the difference between senseless slaughter and true war. True she herself had fought the humans senselessly once, but with Ashitaka's help she and Lady Eboshi realized the wrong they were committing. But soft, san was far from soft.
"I am not soft." San spat out, "You are cruel and senseless. There is a difference between sanity and weakness." San ran forward straight for Kaiya, she swung her dagger forward, but at the last moment switched into a side kick slamming into Kaiya's head has she had ducked to avoid the knife. This said Kaiya side was and her sword went spinning away from her. "You know nothing of me and Iron Town, and Ashitaka. You should take your people and your wolves and leave before you all end up dead."
"I don't know my own brother, that's a laugh, beside who's going to stop us you?" Kaiya got up rubbing her temple where San had kicked her.
"You don't know Ashitaka, or you wouldn't be doing this, and has for who's going to stop you that would be me, my family, the people of Iron Town, and Ashitaka." San lessened the space between her and Kaiya.
"Milady!" A call came from the cleft above them. It was that Lee girl from earlier. She swung of the side and landed by Kaiya's side, sword drawn. "The people of Iron Town are almost completely inside the town, it seems Ashitaka went with them." Lee informed her; both kept their eyes on San, who appeared quiet, as if this message was for her, and not Kaiya.
"Thank you Lee. San this is where I leave you, my brother and I need to have a little chat."
"Don't you dare leave now." San raced forward to catch Kaiya but was cut off as Cain raced by, Kaiya and Lee grabbed on and they disappeared into the battle. "Damn you Kaiya, this is not a game, you have no right to just leave. Have you no pride?" San spoke to the no one, for Kaiya was to far away. Howling into the wind Kuso returned to her.
"You have good timing brother." San whispered.
"I was watching from the fight."
"Call everyone back, send them home, you and me are going to Iron Town. That's where Ashitaka is, and that's were Kaiya's going, so we need to pay them a visit." San closed her eyes, and could hear Kuso leave to gather the others. She would wait here for him to return, then they would follow Kaiya to Iron Town, hopefully they would get there before any real damage would be done, that is damage to Iron Town, and damage to Ashitaka's heart. San didn't know how much more of this he could take.

"Lee?"
"Yes princess Kaiya?"
"Lee it's just you and me, you; can call me Kaiya."
"Okay, what's brothering you Kaiya?"
"Is it true, have I lost the understanding of my brother, can I no longer see who he is?" Kaiya looked at Lee waiting for her answer, as they now sat hidden outside Iron Town waiting for the scout to return.
"How can you even think that, Kaiya?'
"The woman said it, San, you know it's strange, since she's Ashitaka's wife we're kind of like sisters, warring sisters."
AN: I know this took really long to get up, but I had written it and saved it to a disk that won't let me open it again, so I had to rewrite it. I really didn't want to rewrite because I really like the way it was, but in the end I had to rewrite it, so I hope you like this, and if I ever get to open the other version I'll post it for you, and you can see which one you like better. ~Ris Night {Truth, Peace and Justice are merely illusions.}
"Come on Kuso, we have to try."
"Can't I just-"
"No, you can't just nothing, I told Ashitaka I would try not to fight her, and just talk to her."
