I don't own Princess Mononoke or any of the characters. I only own this story and the characters not in the movie.
Kaya, now ten, walked through the Emishi village. The young princess was more bored than when she had to attend a meeting with the village elders. Her thirteen year old brother, Crowned Prince Ashitaka, was out leading the hunting party and wouldn't be back until after sunset.
A young boy no older than Kaya ran into the princess. Kaya and the boy rubbed their heads and stared at each other.
"Hay, watch were you're going. You nearly broke my arm." exaggerated Kaya.
Kaya looked at the boy who bumped into her. The boy had black hair in a topknot and wore gray clothing. A red blush came onto Kaya's face when she recognised the boy.
"Sho I didn't know it was you. Can you forgive me for running into you?" stuttered Kaya.
It was obvious to everyone in the Emishi village that Kaya had a huge crush on the young warrior Sho. Sho looked at the princess of his tribe and looked away from her to hide his blush.
"That's alright Kaya. I should have been looking were I was going. It's my fault not yours." insisted Sho.
"No I was the one not paying attention to my surrounding. It was my fault not yours." assured Kaya.
"No I assist it was my fault." swore Sho.
"No it was mine." challenged Kaya.
"No it was my fault!" responded Sho.
"No mine!" shouted Kaya.
The two young Emishi continued to argue for what seemed like hours. Finally Kaya had enough of the argument.
"This is hopeless. Can we just agree to disagree?" offered Kaya.
"I can live with that." replied Sho.
Now that things were straightened out Sho and Kaya began to talk.
"So why are you out here and not with your brother?" asked Sho.
"Ashitaka is out hunting and he won't be back until sunset." answered Kaya.
Sho thought of something and his face got a mad beat red blush.
"Well if you have nothing to do I was wondering if you sort of want of go for a walk with me in the meadow?" embarrassedly asked Sho.
Kaya's blush returned and it was even redder that Sho's blush. The young princess kicked her barefoot on the ground.
"I'd love to go for a walk with you Sho." said Kaya.
Kaya and Sho raced each other to the meadow. The two ten year olds ran faster than an arrow flying from an archer's bow.
When Ashitaka returned to his hut later that night he was existed. The future king took off his shoes and shirt and placed his weapons in his room. Ashitaka grabbed a candle and went to go check on his sister.
To the young prince's surprise Kaya was already asleep. Seeing his sister already asleep made the thirteen year old wonder what his sister had been doing all day.
"What ever Kaya did today had to have been more tiring than my hunting. I'll ask her about it in the morning. Right now I need some sleep." sleepily thought Ashitaka.
Ashitaka closed his sister's door and went to get some sleep in his own room.
