A bit before Shinos encounter with Kira from Shinos perspective.
Yin had been persistently telling her to go to the fox shrine and nothing was quick enough, Shino had eventually relented and followed her to the shrine where she saw a young Cub in front of the entrance looking confused, it's the first time she had ever seen quite that color of fur, most cubs were often shades of brown or orange, sometimes red, however this cubs fur was a shining silver far outdoing her own white fur she had gained upon being blessed by Inara herself upon becoming the next leader of the shrine when her former mentor ascended to Inaras side and left the job to her.
The white fur was the pride of all kitsune because it represented their connection to Inara and was something only earned upon receiving Inaras blessing along with a shard of her power, prior had Shinos fur been a orange brown like normal fox kin spirit beasts, this is not to be confused with fox beast kin, although they can look similar is the difference that beast kins aren't spirits by nature and even though the beast kin are much closer to humans than to spirits does some humans treat them like lesser beings, well not that is very surprising, certain kingdoms treat everyone that isn't human as lesser beings and are in their pathetic holy crusade to claim the world away from the perceived lesser beings, most of those humans couldn't even tell the difference between beast kin and a spirit beast even if they got bit in the arse by one. however the best way to tell the difference between beast kin foxes and spirit beast foxes if you can't sense their energy is to pay attention to their eyes, beast kin will be born humanoid, and their eyes and their pupils will be closer to that of a human, where spirit beasts eyes will be that of the animal they originated from.
what stood in front of shino was obviously a Cub her spiritual power although impressive was nothing compared to her own, but she could see why Yin had been intimated, she decided to approach the Cub mainly because she hadn't seen the Cub around before and it was unusual to have new cubs showing up un announced especially at the age she appeared to be.
as Shino approached the Cub turned around and bumped straight into her, trying to grab the Cub to steady her so she wouldn't fall she sensed it, it was without a doubt the same feeling that Inara gave off and the one she could sense trough her bond as a kitsune, her fear widened had she just dismissed Inara in disguise as a Cub, she 2as supposed to be the highest position of kitsune left behind, and she didn't even pay attention to the spiritual signature because she had deemed the Cub too weak and not worth further analysis immediately realising her mistake she jumped 3 steps back and took up a position of servitude and waited for the Silver furred Cub to let her know what to do and why she was here, to her sheer horror however did the Cub look at her in confusion and imitated her position, why!? what is she doing? Shino immediately broke out of her position, and started waving her hands around to get her to stop.
The young Cub, after a bit of time opened her mouth and the most beautiful voice Shino had heard in a long time came out.
"I'm sorry miss but I am not too familiar with your customs, I didn't intend to bump into you but I was trying to find my way back to the middle building over there to see if one of the girls I met earlier would be so kind as to lead me to her instructor so I could ask to be allowed so seek shelter here at your shrine, its a bit hard to explain but I don't have anywhere else to go at thr moment and everything is unfamiliar to me"
Shino stared blankly at the Cub, completely confused why was this Cub going to seek the humans for permission, to stay at what clearly was a shrine belonging to her, actually analysing her energy did Shino finally realise her signature while very close to Inaras was just a tiny bit different, it was her own but before she could open her mouth a shock wave of energy came out of Inaras main shrine.
------
Inari had finally managed to appease the other deities by using the young boy as an excuse for why she lost her temper, she told them she had been about to smite the mother who didn't deserve her kin on the spot but had struck a barrier and pulled back calming down, Chaos in particular had looked at her with pity and asked why she had even been looking at that forsaken realm it wasn't healthy for her state of mind to which Inara had agreed with everyone else understanding that it was Inaras power against the first realms barrier they went back to their own business.
Inari finally decided to look at how her daughter was doing according to her spell should she still be sleeping and Inara should have the time to explain to her what she had intended with placing her at her main shrine, but upon looking did she instead find her daughter in a servitude position towards the head of the shrine, hearing her conversation and her insecurity ask for accommodation Inaris anger absolutely exploded, NO WAY should her daughter have to beg for commendation in her own shrine which is the closest she could give her daughter to a home, it didn't take long before Inara projected herself to her shrine and she was NOT happy.
