Thankies for the reviews!! Ok, so I just remembered that there are two wolves, so in this story there is only one. Sorry 'bout that. And San is a little OOC. Just warning you. Umm…..I do not own this movie. Enjoy!
Ashitaka leaped out of his makeshift bed when he heard something bound into the cave. The large white wolf rushed over to the sleeping San and nudged her with its nose. She flipped over and patted his face. She looked at the wolf and saw how happy it was.
What is it? She asked.
"The Great Spirit is coming! The animal gods and their clans are moving to meet him!" the wolf barked. San sat up quickly.
He could cure us Ashitaka! The Great Spirit knows everything! She said happily, causing a few more drips of blood to seep down her chin. Both of the humans smiled and ran out the cave.
"Wait, where is this spirit?" Ashitaka asked quickly. San stopped and scratched her chin, then looked at her wolf brother.
"The forbidden forest." The wolf said, walking next to San. San looked at Ashitaka with a smug expression and jumped onto the wolf. Ashitaka climbed onto Yakuul and they rode down the mountain and into the forest.
"Have I been to the forbidden forest? It sounds familiar." Ashitaka asked. Instead of San answering, her wolf did.
"Several times human. The spirit of life saved you there, and you saved San there as well." it said. San looked back at him, her tongue sticking out playfully. He smirked and rode faster, catching up to her easily. The wolf snarled and ran faster. They moved easily through the forest but at one point the animals needed to rest. They stopped near a stream so the animals could get a drink. Ashitaka leaned against a tree and watched San stroke the wolf's white fur. Something felt like it was crawling on his chest. What he didn't know was the curse mark was getting bigger, and more deadly.
Suddenly it felt like his chest was on fire. Both his hands flew up to his chest. One hand gripped his chest, and one grabbed the bottom of his throat. He moaned loudly and collapsed. San spun around and ran to him. His face was red and he was covered in sweat. He let out a gasp that made him sound like he was in way to much pain. San quickly felt his forehead. He was burning up. She did the best thing she could think of, she pulled him to the river and put him in the cold water. She was trying to cool him down.
She kept a grip on his shoulders so he wouldn't be swept away by the current. But that didn't stop his head from going under. She pulled him onto the bank and checked if he was still breathing and if he still had a pulse. He wasn't moving but he was ok. Yakuul trotted over and nudged his master.
Ashitaka coughed a few times, blood spraying from his mouth. Several specks of blood got on her face, but she didn't care. His eyes opened a crack and he saw her looking down at him with a worried expression. His face turned red and before he could do anything he passed out. San sighed, picked up Ashitaka and put him on Yakuul. Once that was done she turned her attention back to the wolf.
His curse is worse. We have to hurry. She said. The wolf nodded and she jumped on his back. She grabbed the reigns of Yakuul and it followed obediently. Ashitaka's head bobbed as the elk moved, but he stayed on.
"Almost there San." The wolf barked. She nodded and they bounded through the trees, coming into a large clearing with a lake and a small island in the center. Surrounding the lake was several clans of the animal gods. Apes, boars, and many other types were surrounding it. San got off of the wolf and lead Yakuul to the water. Ashitaka moaned and opened his eyes. He looked around quickly when he saw the animal gods, and nearly fell off of Yakuul.
Please review, some good stuff is coming up next.
