The Demon Man

"Are we almost there?" asked Ashitaka over the sound of the wind.

"We're almost there!" yelled San as Hato jumped over a pile of rocks.

"Fire at will!" yelled the leader of the humans.

"EBOSHI!" screamed San while Ashitaka's arm started to activate.

"No, not now, not while so many people are here." groaned Ashitaka, but the curse had spread so mush that it made a war marking on half his face. He started to become a demon. He jumped off Yakul and ran faster the a normal human could, and then he saw the villagers. They were shooting Moro and Konmo with iron bullets and causing them extreme pain. And that is when the curse grew violent. Ashitaka screamed in deadly pain and for a while the battle stopped, all eyes were on Ashitaka. Then the worst possible thing happened. A man shot Ashitaka with one of the new of the new guns and a giant hole appeared in Ashitaka's chest.

"NO!" Screamed the Eboshi lady. "He now will kill us all, once the two human gods arrived I knew that we would have lost but now you have sentenced us to death!"

As soon as she finished talking, Ashitaka Stood up his whole body covered by the curse and the giant hole from the bullet was gone.

"H-he's a demon!" yelled a man and he tried to run but then Ashitaka was in front of him."Please don't kill me" said the man, cowering.

Ashitaka drew his sword and walked away, then stabbed his heart in an instant. Ashitaka then started to attack all in his sight making him more and more demonic as he cut through the men.

"What's going on, What has happened?" thought San as the battle turned tides almost instantly. The men shooting were running away to no avail. Ashitaka quickly caught up and sliced through them all. Then Moro pounced on Ashitaka and halted his killing spree.

"Ashitaka, you are a god, an immortal human god of the forest. You are also the claimed son of the Great Forest Spirit. You must halt your rampage. The humans have now suffered much more than we have. You must stop killing now, for the sake of the forest. For the sake of the other gods and for your father. And also for San!"

At the sound of San's name, Ashitaka stopped fighting to get free and froze. His Rage disappeared. Moro then let him free to see the damage he had done. He had killed 32 men and injured an additional 15 men. The curse now turned into a huge war marking all over Ashitaka's body.

"The curse has finished." said the Great Forest spirit.

"What do you mean?" asked Ashitaka.

"It means it will disappear when not feeling negative emotions. It won't cause random pain any more, only after the mark disappears. You still will have your demon strength.

It will appear when you are in battle or are feeling negative emotions. The curse will not grow anymore either. This is it's final form. 'The demon war marking'."

As the mark faded, Ashitaka fell over and fainted from the pain he received.

"Huh, Where am I, the last thing I remember was going berserk and then my father was there and then I fainted from this horrible pain covering my body." said Ashitaka shaking his head trying to remember more.

"Yes I think that sums it all up son." said the Great Forest Spirit quietly. "Now what should we do about the humans that are from the village called Iron town, and the one from the East. If what the kodama told is correct, they will be here in 4 months."

"Humans from the East, who are they?" asked Ashitaka, curious.

"You want to know, They are the people from where you came from. The Emishi, a wandering tribe of ancient hunters from 500 years ago. You are their king, now they are moving towards where your existence was last known. This is the first group of the village in the East. Once the group here confirms you existence, they will move to this land under your control. I hope you are ready to be a king and a god Ashitaka."

A/N) Sorry the chapter is so short. I'm running out of ideas for now, so I may not upload for this story for a while. The good news though, I am not trying to get reviews as much now and I'm starting a new story soon. :)
