2: Coming to an Agreement

"I wish you would have come sooner. Maybe when she was born." San said with a sigh.

"I'm sorry. If I had known that you were pregnant, I would have come and lived with you." Ashitaka replied.

"Maybe after the fight with me and Eboshi ends, you can live with us." San replied.

"San, I thought I told you that you shouldn't bear anymore grudges with them. They've started a new life." Ashitaka said.

"Don't lie to me Ashitaka. I know that they've been slaughtering the boar tribe for some time now, and I even realized that Moro had seen it with her own eyes. She may not say it, but she probably wants to ask questions." San replied.

"Hm...this may not be in your favor, but why don't you let Moro stay with me for a while?" Ashitaka asked.

"No. I will not let her become a human. She is to be the next to become the wolf leader after I'm gone." San said.

"Please San, she needs to see the other side as well. She's seen yours, now what about mine? Please? Just give it a try." Ashitaka asked.

"Ugh. Fine Ashitaka. But! I will give her to you when she is older. She is only 5 years of age. I will give her to you when she is 13." San said.

"All right. Eight years. I can wait. I will visit you until then." Ashitaka said with a smile.

"Gosh Ashitaka, I hate it when I look into your loving, caring, eyes..and yet, I love every bit of it." San said with a smile. Ashitaka only smiled back with a grin.

"Why don't you spend the day with our daughter Ashitaka? I need to attend to some matters." San said and whistled for her brothers to come. They hurried to her with Moro on one of their backs, Kodama spirits all around her clicking like crazy.

"Honey, you'll be spending the day with your father today." San said with a smile.

"Okay Mama." Moro said with a smile. As Ashitaka rode on top of his brother with Moro in front of him, he smiled and looked down at her as she looked up at him. Yakul followed closely behind. The two waved good-bye, and San rode on her other brother as the two went to the boar tribe, to see how they were doing since only a few remained.

"Mother? Where did Sir Ashitaka go?" Enishi asked.

"He went to visit his friend in the forest Enishi." Eboshi replied as she wrote out a letter.

"Oh. Is his friend nice?" Enishi asked.

"She's all right for a wolf girl." Eboshi replied.

"What! You mean Sir Ashitaka is visiting the wolf girl who's responsible for your arm!" Enishi cried.

"No my son. She was not responsible. Her mother was. But she was my enemy and still is. She will probably attack some time soon, maybe today since Ashitaka isn't here. Anyway, I want you to know that when that time comes I want you to hide and stay hidden out of sight with your friends." Eboshi explained.

"No way! I want to help and fight alongside you!" Enishi cried.

"It is too dangerous for a child to handle. When you are older I may reconsider." Eboshi replied quietly. Enishi only gritted his teeth and clensed a fist and finally the anger subsided.

"Yes mother. I will do what you say." Enishi sighed and Eboshi smiled with satisfaction.

As Ashitaka and Moro were in a field filled with flowers, Moro happily picked so many that some fell out of her hands. She laughed joyfully as Ashitaka watched over her with a smile on his face.

"Look daddy! Aren't these ones pretty?" Moro asked as she ran up to him.

"They're beautiful honey." Ashitaka replied and picked her up and tossed her high in the air. Moro laughed as she came back down and landed in Ashitaka's arms.

"You're funny daddy!" Moro squealed in delight. As Ashitaka gave his daughter a piggy back ride, his brother-in-law and Yakul followed close behind. They walked for miles and visited the Kodamas.

"Let's play let's play hide and seek! Daddy you find us!" Moro cried and before Ashitaka could protest she ran off with Kodama spirits on her shoulders and some following her. As Ashitaka waited for a while, he soon found her under a log. The two laughed for hours, and finally they settled in a field near Iron Town. Both lay on their backs and watched the clouds go by.

"Listen, Moro...what would you say, that when you turn 13 you'd come live with me for a while?" Ashitaka asked. His brother didn't like what Ashitaka was asking, but then again it was not his place to speak, and so he stayed silent and listened.

"Really? Live with you? Where daddy?" Moro asked as she faced her father, flowers in her hair.

"In Iron Town. Only for a little while. With the other humans." Ashitaka replied. Moro sighed, and thought for a while.

"I don't know...maybe..Mama told me that humans were bad people and that they kill us just for power." Moro said.

"That's not all entirely true. Not all humans are bad. I'm a human and so are you, and we're both good. So is your mother." Ashitaka said.

"Maybe...Daddy..I'm not sure if I really want to be the next in line anymore...I mean, I don't like this fighting. It causes deaths I don't want that. Mama wants me to become strong, and I want to become strong too, but I don't want to fight anybody unless it's a last resort...can that be possible as the next wolf leader?" Moro asked.

"You have a really good question there for a five year-old." Ashitaka said.

"I know..I'm sorry." she said.

"It's nothing to be sorry about." Ashitaka replied with a smile. He even added, "I think it's possible. If you have to fight, then do so, but if you can find another way by peace then go for it. That's what I would do if I were the leader right now."

"Mama doesn't do that though...she fights." Moro said.

"Your mother has a lot of your grandmother's hatred of humans my niece. She might look like someone who loves to fight, but under it all she is trying to seek peace by not fighting." her uncle said.

"Oh...That's good." Moro said with a smile. Ashitaka smiled, and her uncle formed one as well. Finally, Moro was taken back by San, and the two said goodbye to Ashitaka and Yakul.

"Remember your promise San." Ashitaka said.

"Yes. Of course Ashitaka. Goodbye." San replied with a smile.

"Goodbye daddy! Come back sooon!" Moro cried and smiled as she waved goodbye. As the last view of Ashitaka was gone, the two went back to their wolf lives, and continued to grow. San continued to train Moro to become the next wolf leader...
