I don't own Princess Mononoke or any of the characters. I only own this story and the characters not in the movie. Sorry about the late update.
A seven year old San ran through the forest. The sunlight eliminated the three blood red triangles on her face. The wind blew back San's chin length brown hair. All the wolf-girl wore was a loincloth, skin shirt, dark blue arm bands and dark blue head band.
San rode on the back of her five foot tall white wolf brother Feng, with Feng's younger twin brother following. San carried her spear and had her dagger at her hip.
The three siblings had been patrolling the edge of their family's territory. Moro had sent her children on the patrol herself. After the war meeting last year all the gods knew of San and dared not attack her less they enflame the rage of the Wolf Tribe.
A scent caught Feng and Xin's attention. It was the scent of a human, alone female barely an adult. The three siblings followed the humans scent. Half a mile away they found the human.
San looked at the human. She couldn't be more than eighteen. A necklace made of sharp dagger like points and silver disk earrings were worn by the girl. San marveled as the earrings and necklace sparkled in the sunlight.
"Those are pretty." whispered San.
Feng and Xin sighed. They never took in their sister's obsession with 'pretty' human things.
"Stay focused San. We need to get rid of that human before it goes any deeper into our territory." stated Feng.
"Why don't we just attack and kill it now." suggested Xin.
Feng snapped his fangs at his younger twin brother. Xin was the 'foolish' one in the family. Feng had taken after their mother in brains and planning. Xin was not smart, but was the strongest of his siblings. Xin's strength nearly surpasses that of his father, Ookami. San had the deepest connection to the forest and the greatest despise of humans, most likely since she looked like one.
The siblings made a plan. Feng and Xin would attack from the sides and San would kill the human with her spear.
In less than half a second Feng and Xin sprang out of hiding and landed on either side of the human. The human backed away and felt the prick against her back. She turned around to see the face of a young human girl. Suddenly the look of fear changed into a look of anger and hatred.
"What did you beasts do to this girl? Answer me you filthy creatures of the woods. How could you turn this little girl into your slave? Is this your plan? To take humans and make then into your slaves?" questioned the girl.
Feng and Xin both growled.
"Silence you insolent human. How dare you speak to a god like that." threatened Xin.
"That girl is our sister. She is a wolf, not some lousy human. We will kill you for calling her anything otherwise." growled Feng.
Feng and Xin snarled and made the human back up more. San's spear pierced through the human's chest. San pulled her spear out of the human's chest and cleaned her weapon of blood.
The three siblings turned to leave. A hand grasped San's ankle. San looked back to the dyeing human lying on the ground.
"Don't do this. You are still a little girl. The village is not far from here. Go there and you will find other humans. They will take care of you. You can be free of these beasts. Go to the village and you can live a normal human life." weakly said the human.
San kicked the human hand away from her leg. She drew her dagger and placed it at the human's throat.
"I'm not a human. I am a wolf, a wolf. I will never betray the forest. Die evil human. You and your kind will never harm this forest as long as I live." swore San.
With one slash of her dagger San ended the human's life. Feng and Xin noticed the look of hatred in their sister's eyes.
"San are you alright?" asked Xin.
"Is there anything we can do to help you?" wondered Feng.
San didn't answer her brothers. She looked back at the humans dagger necklace and disk earrings. San removed the necklace and earrings from the human's dead body.
"Feng, Xin let's get going. Mother and father will be wondering what has become of us." grumbled San.
The wolf twins started blankly at each other before following after their wolf-girl sister.
Later at the den San looked at the things she took from the human. She held one of the earrings up and it sparkled in the light. San then tried to get the earring to stay on her ear, but it fell off.
"How do humans wear these things." groaned San.
Feng looked at his little sister.
"I think mother said humans poke holes in their ears to wear those things." recalled Feng.
Something rare just happened to Xin, he had an idea.
"Feng and I could poke holes in your ears so you could wear them. It would only take a second and you wouldn't feel a thing." assured Xin.
Feng and Xin got on either side of San. In half a second they closed their jaws and make two holes in San's sensitive earlobes. San gave out a little grunt, but she did not scream. Although she plotted away to get revenge on her brother's later.
San put the earrings on after the blood stopped and her ears stopped hurting. She then slipped on the necklace and walked out of the den. The young wolf-girl looked out over the forest from the ledge of her family den.
"These things from the human for will ever remind me of my first human kill. I have proven that I, San daughter of Moro, am a true wolf and a loyal member of the Wolf Tribe. I've killed one human and I will kill a hundred more. I will kill as many humans as it takes for them to leave and restore the forest to its former glory. I swear this in the name of the great Forest Spirit." shouted San.
Ookami and Moro looked at their daughter from the bottom of the hill. They had heard San's speech and were proud of her. San had proven herself to be a true wolf even though her body was that of a human.
