Lee could see the camp sight now, small trails of smoke rose into the air from various fires. She knew she only had a little while before Ashitaka would begin to wake. And she was unsure of how he would respond to kidnapping. She quickly made to Kaiya's make-shift tent.
San stood besides Jagar looking towards what had to be the Emishi camp. She knew Ashitaka would be there, know she just needed to calm herself and sort out what she was going to do. She had learned the hard way that rash decisions were not smart and wasn't willing to risk Ashitaka's life for her pride and anger.
Her gaze took in what it could of the small camp. Her eyes counting the wounded, the guards, the healers, the number of tents, and then quickly caught the sight of a fast moving wolf. It was heading towards the center of the camp where the largest of the tents stood. That had to be them that had to be Ashitaka.
"San." Jagar's voice reached her ears, and broke her thought.
"What is it?"
"We should wait see what happens. See if Ashitaka comes out or anything else."
San raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes 1. "You're saying leave him there.
"For the moment yes. We do not know anything about this, surely I am not the only one who has learned from my mistakes." Jagar watched her closely.
San hissed and turned away from her wolf brother. Of course he would use that stupid war against her, she always caved in when someone said something like that she just couldn't help it. She had made some very grave mistakes, and somehow she had come out on the better end of things, now everyone felt the need to remind her how fragile their world really was.
"Fine." She barked her reply and abruptly sat on the ground returning her gaze the center tent.
"LEE!" Kaiya let out a yelp as her close friend slid of the back of her wolf. "I was worried you vanished without saying anything.
"My apologizes Kaiya, but I went and well…" Lee turned and drew Kaiya's attention to the unconscious figure that lay haphazardly on the back of her wolf.
"My gods, you brought Ashitak here how?" Kaiya went to her unconscious brother reaching out and touching the top of his head.
"Please don't be upset, but I slipped him a drug. It's only temporary and he should wake any moment. No one knew I was even there." Lee looked away afraid of angering her dear friend.
"Lee you're crazy. You put yourself in serious risk," Kaiya turned to face her friend. "Thank you."
Lee looked up and smiled, happy to see Kaiya smiling back at her.
"Now let's get him inside before he wakes." Kaiya grabbed onto Ashitaka's belt.
Lee quickly made her way to his side and helped Kaiya slip him off Otaku's back and gently on to the ground. Where they shifted him and then carried him inside the tent.
Ashitaka's head was buzzing, he couldn't remember exactly what had happened. He had talked to Eboshi and then went to his room where he had a drink, and then nothing his mind went blank.
He didn't recognize the ceiling he was looking up at or anything around him. It seemed maybe vaguely familiar but obviously he didn't know it well if he knew it at all. He slowly sat careful of his sore muscles. He felt like he had been sitting in the most uncomfortable position but he was lying on the bed in a relaxed position as far as he could tell.
But he had more important concerns then he's sleeping arrangements, like where he was, why, and where was San. He swung his stiff legs over the side of the bed and slowly pushed himself up. Stretching slightly he looked around to get a better sense of his surroundings in hopes of recognizing something. No luck it was some random tent in the middle of no where for all he knew. Cook
There was a light shuffling, footsteps, which drew his attention to the tent's opening. He was shocked, it had never crossed his mind that he would be here of all places.
I know it's not really a cliffhanger, cause you all know where he is right? Anyway again it has been awhile and I am truly sorry. I finally sat down and wrote this. Miyavi helped me a lot. I find his music to be quite relaxing, in a weird way. Coo Quack Cluck. Anyway I hope you engoy this new chapter thank you for reading and please review I truly value your opinions on my stories.
