8: Befriending a Boar! How Could You?

"HUMANS MUST DIE! THEY HAVE KILLED MY ONLY CLAN! NOW I AM ONLY WITH A CLAN THAT IS STRANGE TO ME!" it cried and squealed in anger. This boar was a young one though, at least 13 probably, a strong male. As they all started to run, Enishi did not move. His legs told him to move, but something took over him and he shook all over in fear. "Eni-chan!" a young girl's voice rang out in his ears, the same one that flashed to him when he was going to kill Moro. Enishi only shivered in fear and cried, "NOOOO!" and held his head tightly in pain. As the boar came charging at him, his friends cried to him to run, but it was no use. Moro ran up to Enishi and literally pushed him out of the way. With no more time to get herself away as well, she took hold on the boars tusks, and tried to stop his rampaging rage.

"HUMANS MUST DIE! OUT OF MY WAY WOLF GIRL! I DO NOT WANT TO HURT YOU! IT IS THE HUMANS I WANT!" the boar cried.

"You must get rid of your anger boar! Please! Stop this hatred! It will bring nothing but pain!" Moro cried as she fought with all her might. Her feet started to dig deep into the rich soil.

"They have slaughtered my kind for many years! I will not rest until they are extinguished!" the boar cried, and shed tears.

"Please! Don't cry mighty boar! I know your pain! You miss your family but there is nothing good to come if you try and get revenge!" Moro struggled.

"You speak words of kindness...I will try not to hate humans..." it finally said and started to calm down. Moro only burrowed into the boars fur to hug it with thanks.

"Please, go back into the forest. Go back to your new herd. Your clan.. Forget this ever happened. Go now, before they come after you. I don't want you to get hurt. No more bloodshed." Moro said to him softly.

"Thank you...wolf girl. I will not forget your kindness. My name is Tamashi." the boar said and went back into the forest.

"Goodbye, Tamashi! Remember my name too! It is Moro!" she cried back to him and he only squealed a goodbye and disappeared into the forest. As the boar was finally gone, Moro sighed and then walked over to Enishi, who was crying in pain. Aoshi and Ares quickly ran over too.

"Enishi? Enishi-san are you all right?" Aoshi asked.

"Is..is it gone?...Is the boar gone?" Enishi asked. Moro nodded.

"Moro befriended the boar. It was miraculous." Ares said.

"Befriended! Befriended a beast! Boars are nothing but beasts! I hate them! Why did you befriend it!" Enishi cried.

"It was the only way to stop his anger. His rage. If nothing had been done, he would have killed you." Moro said calmly.

"MORO!" a loud voice cried, and two wolf howl's could be heard in the distance.

"Mama!" Moro cried for joy and ran up to her mother and uncles. There were no words, and only Moro looked at her mother. Her mother looked back at her, her eyes showing love. The two hugged, and Moro ran into her uncles furs, happy to see them as well. She smiled at them, and then went back to her human friends.

"Enishi! Enishi? Are you okay?" Moro asked curiously, concerned. San saw this, affection towards the human boy, and wondered if Moro had kept her promise of not turning into a human.

"Why would I be okay? You befriended a boar! I cannot have that!" he cried and drew out his sword and swung. She lept out of the way, and tried to stop him. Nothing worked. He kept attacking her. San only could watch. It was not her place to interfere. Enishi continued to fight, and Moro only dodged everything.

"Enishi-sama! Calm down! Moro saved your life!" Ares cried. 'Saved his life! Moro? Save a human's life?' San wondered curiously, now thinking if her daughter really had changed her mind and broken her promise. San shook this out of her mind, and did not want to believe this.

"Why are you attacking me?" Moro asked.

"SHUT UP! Fight back! Fight-back!" Enishi cried and was punched to the ground, blood drippling down his mouth.

"Stop this nonsense. What is wrong with befriending a fellow creature?" Moro asked curiously. She did not understand this Enishi.

"Nothing! But befriending a boar!" he cried, and started to sob. Moro wondered what was going on by this time, and only slowly backed off.

"Mama...humans are such confusing creatures..I don't understand them." Moro said to San and looked up.

"No one could understand the human ways my daughter." San replied, and thought of this as hope that her daughter still in fact was one of them, a wolf.

"Strange..." Moro replied. Suddenly the two and the others heard voices running up, weapons at hand.

"ENISHI! Are you all right my son?" Eboshi cried, and then gasped when they saw Enishi on the ground, stopping the bleeding from his lip, and San looking straight at her.

"You! What did you do to my son?" Eboshi screamed and had her rifles aimed at her.

"Mama did not do anything to your son! He wanted me to fight back, so I did! Your son is weak!" Moro cried. 'Now that is the daughter I know.' San thought with a smile of satisfaction.

"LIES!" Eboshi cried.

"It's true Lady Eboshi!" Aoshi cried and Ares nodded. They were with their mother and father. Eboshi did not know what to say, and only looked at her son. He looked horrible. He was scared and kept crying.

"Enishi..." Eboshi said and walked over to her son.

"Mother..she..she befriended a boar!" Enishi cried and Eboshi gasped, realizing what caused her son to go beserk.

"Enishi, you know that it is not good to hold grudges. It is time to move on. You know that." Eboshi said and tried to get her son to calm down.

"NO! NO NO NO! It's my fault! But it's hers for befriending a boar! They are nothing but savages! They are nothing but meat for us! I want them destroyed! I want all of them dead!" Enishi cried and ran off back to Iron Town.

"Should we do what he says Lady Eboshi?" Seiryu asked.

"No. This is a matter that I must attend to. You! Servant girl!" Eboshi cried to Moro. Moro only looked at her curiously.

"Please, come with me. My son is going through a difficult time. Maybe if you knew the situation, you could help him." Eboshi said to her. Moro followed silently, looked back at her mother, and smiled. "Mama...I won't be gone for long. I'll come back. And then we can train so I can be prepared to become the next leader." she said and San only nodded at her daughter's kindness. How San thought she had grown up so wise. Ashitaka now walked up to San, and they went to the cave, so Ashitaka could tell San of what Moro had been doing for the years she had spent with the people in Iron Town.

As the rest of the villagers followed Eboshi and Moro, Moro wondered why Enishi had such a grudge against the boars. As the group walked silently back to the town, the rest of the villagers departed when Eboshi and Moro were going to a graveyard outside of Iron Town. Enishi was probably there, and Eboshi knew him well.

"Ma'am, do you want us to keep the door open?" Seiryu asked.

"That would be most appreciated Seiryu, thank you." Eboshi replied and he nodded.

". . .Where are we going?" Moro asked.

"Up there. Where all of Enishi's guilt lies." Eboshi replied.

"Guilt?" Moro asked curiously. There was still so much she needed to learn about the human race, including what was going on.

"Yes. Enishi blames himself for something that happened a long time ago when he was 4." Eboshi explained.

"It's not good to hold grudges. He should move on, not blame himself for something that had happened in the past. It only brings sorrow and agony to the present and future." Moro said.

"You are a smart child at your age." Eboshi commented.

"Th..thank you." Moro replied, a little uncertain if she should be thanking her mother's enemy. Eboshi only nodded, and the two came up to the hill, seeing Enishi sitting by a lone grave with flowers all around it. It seemed to be the only one that was 'up-to-date'.

"Enishi. My son, why are you so saddened?" Eboshi asked.

"I'm not sad. I'm enraged." Enishi replied.

"Why?" Moro asked.

"You befriended a creature I cannot forgive." Enishi said.

"The boars have done something...bad?" Moro asked.

"Bad? They've commited a terrible sin!" Enishi cried. This made Moro very angry, and her eyes changed to pure yellow, now her voice colliding with the deceased Moro.

"And you think that it is not a terrible sin to kill hundreds of boars just for revenge? Revenge is not the way! Humans like you do not think when they have lost something. They only seek hatred and revenge!" Moro cried to him and gripped him by the collar.

"I've always been curious about your eyes..." Enishi said to her.

"Do not change the subject! Why do you hate the boars so much that you want to become a slayer!" Moro cried.

"I..I hate them because they took away my sister." Enishi said to Moro. Her eyes changed back to show him her sorrow as she released her hold on him.

"Your sister..." Moro repeated.

"Yes. Eiko. She was killed when the boars stampeded toward us. It was when I was 4 years old. She was only 3. I couldn't save her, couldn't protect her, I couldn't die with her so that I would not be alone." Enishi said to her.

"If you had died, what would your mother do? Did you think about that?" Moro asked.

"Yes...I thought about it, but I still held that grudge. She was crushed by the boars huge bodies, and I was devastated when I saw her bedraggled body..can you imagine the hurt I experienced?" Enishi asked. Moro took a while to answer this, and then thought about the bloody battle scene she saw when she was only 5. This made her angered even more, and she growled at the thought of that fateful day.

"Yes. I have. I don't need to imagine. I share the same experience." Moro answered him.

"Well?" he asked. Moro didn't answer. "ANSWER ME! What could be worse than seeing a family member die right before your eyes?" Enishi cried.

"A massacre! Caused by you, your mother, and the villagers! When I was 5, I saw you kill all of those boars that were charging at you!" Moro cried and Eboshi gasped. Enishi was probably too young to remember, but he tried to think and then he too remembered that day.

"When you left, I went to the battle scene, and cried bitterly at why you could kill so many just because you lost one little girl, even though she was your own flesh and blood!" Moro cried. Enishi didn't answer her, and she continued.

"I sobbed and sobbed in a boar's fur, and when it died it made me horrified to think of having human blood within me." she said. This made Enishi wonder about something.

"I see. I'm sorry you had to see that. And at such a young age, truly I am." Eboshi said to Moro. Moro only nodded silently. Enishi was silent now, and only anger raged inside of him until everything let loose.

"Grr...I HATE ALL OF YOU ANIMALS! YOU'RE SAVAGE BEASTS! I HATE ALL OF YOU! IF YOU TRULY WANT TO BECOME A BEAST, THEN GO RIGHT AHEAD! I'M DONE WITH YOU ANYWAY! YOU ARE NO LONGER MY SERVANT SO DISAPPEAR AND RETURN TO WHERE YOU CAME! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!" Enishi cried, and then realized everything he just said, making him even more saddened now. As he looked at Moro, she was shocked. Everything Enishi just said, she knew it wasn't the real Enishi, but left anyway.

"Fine..My service is done. My destiny awaits. I shall and always will be waiting where the hidden truth lies." Moro said quietly, and ran at quick speed back to her home. Her true home. Enishi pondered this, and then figured what she had meant by 'where the hidden truth lies'. Still, it hurt her so much, and the pain didn't leave Moro for quite some time. Even though she knew Enishi did not mean it, that in a fit of rage his anger took control, it was still painful for Moro to bear, and as she ran home she cried all the way.
