Through the Eyes of a Child
Okay, I don't own anyone from Princess Mononoke (aww) but I do own Aiko, Aneko, Leiko, Marise, Reizo and Kumiko. Right, that was so nobody sues me! Now you can read.
Now it is over.
It started when we dug out all the iron under the town. That was about a year ago now. I remember when the boars first attacked. Me, Reizo and Kumiko (my two best friends) had been sitting up on the wall, hiding from Aneko when we heard shouts from where they were clearing the trees. Then the men came running back followed by the boars. It was terrifying.
It happened every night until we stopped cutting down trees. But after a while people were getting so hungry that some men (including my father, Marise.) went out again. They ran back almost straight away screaming. Well two of them did. Father didn't. I couldn't understand why, but mother (Leiko) sat for three days staring into space. I was starting to really panic when she came.
She came with her riflemen and killed all the boars. Except for Nago. He came charging towards Irontown but she was waiting for him on the wall. She shot him herself and everyone cheered, even mother. Then we made her our leader and had loads of celebration. Then Lady Eboshi turned everything upside-down. She rescued brothel girls and gave jobs working on the bellows. Then she took in lepers and bandaged them up and made them blacksmiths. Mother disapproved of that. I asked her why and pointed out that they were human beings after all! But she sniffed and said
"Aiko, I hope you don't turn out like Lady Eboshi. I mean, I'm glad she's taken over Irontown, but who does she think she is parading about dressed like a man? And fighting too. I think I'd die of shame if you acted like that.
I asked what she wanted me to turn out like.
"Well, you shall marry a nice man and had have children of course!" she laughed like it was obvious. I didn't say anymore but secretly I vowed I'd never through my life away and get married.
Everything was going well until we cleared the mountain.
Then the wolves started attacking.
Well, what do you think? Please review. I know it's rubbish and totally boring, probably the worst story I'll ever write! But hopefully it'll get better later.
Name meanings
Aiko: Little love because she's only little! Aneko: Older sister 'cos she's Aikos' big sister. Leiko: Arrogant because she is. Marise: Infinite, endless- a little joke! Reizo: Cool, calm because he is as you will see. Kumiko: Companion child because she is Aikos' friend.
I got all the names and their meanings from 20'000-names.com so if they are wrong. tough. Lol
