'May I have a kiss?'

The time spent between the two of them felt like a never ending dream to the wolf girl. These short moments were so enjoyable and innocent that none of it felt real. None of them should have been real. The wolf girl’s mind and body were continuously falling back into her human nature and slowly she was becoming much more carefree than she should have been. Humans always were lucky enough to have that sort of privilege. With them being raised in such a large group of hunters, protectors, gathers, etc, enjoying the fun moments and no worries of the dangers around them was considered both a blessing and a curse to the wolf girl. San was raised with a completely different thought process. Living in Shinigami’s forest, under the constant loving guard of Moro and her two other cubs,  the wolf clan was not gifted with such necessities. As San grew up, Moro was more than enough protection over all three of them, but San was reprimanded more than a few times if she got too careless in the wild. With Moro gone and San much stronger than when she was a pup, she could easily take care of herself, plus the added bonus of her brothers. However, even with her brothers, San’s senses were always on overdrive with her fight-or-flight almost constantly on. She never slept too deeply. In all that could be said, Ashitaka had proven himself plenty of times that he could take care of her if the time was ever called for. Her defenses were shutting down around the male and she was okay with this…    “Ashitaka…”

The two were slowly starting to settle down from a suddenly rushed day together. There was always something the two of them could do, but San knew that Ashitaka needed to go back to Iron Town and San needed to go find her brothers. They would be together again soon. Maybe not tomorrow. Or even next week, but soon. They were forever drawn together, heart and soul. San was ready to set off after they seemingly said their goodbyes, sad as they were, but Ashitaka stopped her from leaving for some reason. She could read that there was something on his mind that had been dying to come out for a while it seemed. The wolf girl was about to ask what was causing the warrior such distress, but Ashitaka beat her to the talk.                                                    ‘May I have a kiss?' 

A kiss? A human kiss.. A real kiss? How could Ashitaka ask that of her? San wasn’t even sure how to properly do a human kiss. The only sort of affection that Moro and her brothers gave her were simple licks on her cheeks and of course nuzzling. This sort of action was so much foreign, even beyond her own feelings for the precious warrior. She knew she was going to do it wrong or mess something up, but she wasn’t going to learn unless she tried. A kiss had to be done between their lips, right?Or was it on the cheek? Does she have to lick him or did it even call for her tongue to be used? So many questions were running through her mind, but with Ashitaka so close by she still felt calm during her small freak out.      “Y-yes...”San could barely look at him in the eyes but kept them down for once in her life. She wasn’t able to stare at the enemy in the face. Moving rather closer to Ashitaka, under the bright glow of the moon above, she looked up rather slowly to see if this human really such a thing from her. This was going to slowly but the wolf girl didn’t want to mess up something so precious. Her body was failing her again. She feared that Ashitaka would hear her heart pounding so loudly within her chest, and she even had to grasp upon his cheeks as to keep her hands from shaking any further. Pressing her lips upon her warrior savior, San felt the warmth and moisture almost instantly. She even forgot to breath for a moment. There was calm silence around the both of them during this time. It was as if time stood still for that quick moment.

Even after all the death and decay caused around the death of the mighty Shishigami, time passed as if nothing had even happened in the mighty forest. Though Ashitaka had reassured the wolf girl that the God of life and death was still around and that the forest would simply regrow, San was still hesitant of what the future would bring for both of them. The forest was never going to be the same again, and she wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing. As the trees regrew their leaves and life was slowly returning back to the forest, they were all hit with a rather nasty winter that year. With no mother to protect her three pups, the wolf clan took a beating they didn’t think they would survive through, but they were too stubborn to simply die from a little cold. All three managed to come out alive, but less than perfect condition. Without her brothers by her side, San more than likely would have given up during that season. They were her warmth and crutch on reality. They all needed each other and that wasn’t going to change any time soon. With signs of spring showing its self in many ways: new tree growth, the fresh smell of flowers on the trees, warmer temperatures, even the animals were acting differently; San started to relax about their situation. They would recover and come back even stronger for next season’s changes. The wild boar populations around the forest were starting to pop up with new piggies for the wolves to eat and things were starting to go good. The wolf clan locked away in their den most of winter, the three of them were unable to keep an eye on what human activity Lady Eboshi and Iron town had down with in their forest. Vuk and Lupus were starting to age to the point where trees were speaking to them as they did with Moro. Sadly the trees were still too dormant from the heavy winter to really tell the wolves anything beneficial. The wolf brothers could sense that San’s mind was else where for the pass week, but they knew exactly who she was thinking of.    “Ashitaka...” 

Did he survive the harsh winter? So many questions were rushing through her mind as worry and stubbornness swirled with in her stomach. Ashitaka promised he would visit her when he had the chance, but he couldn’t if he was dead, right? As the sun set hours ago and only the moon gave them little light below the tree leaves, San managed to convince her brothers to go out to see him. She knew it was risky. San wasn’t sure if the people of Iron town still held any hatred for her and her clan with in their hearts, but she would just risk it. Ashitaka was simply too important to her for just let him go without knowing what really happened to him. 

It took the family less than an hour to get from safe, little cave to what San remembered as a left over Iron Town‘s lake. She wasn’t going to be crazy and just go running in there.. but she would see if Ashitaka would come to her, if he was alive, it was safer that way. Standing beside the lake, she ran her fingers over Vuk’s back side as the two brothers began to howl as if to the full moon. San glared at the well defended Iron town and tried focusing on the wood walls from what she saw.. They would simply move to the opposite of the fortress and try again if he couldn’t hear them.     “Please hear this Ashitaka. Please be alive.”
