Kiras perspective:
-----
Kira stirred awake and and stretched herself for everything she was worth, she couldn't remember last time she had slept so well, it wasn't before she realised that her pillow was the legs of another person everything came back to her in vivid detail how she had been involuntarily purring and had ended up dozing off due to the pure bliss she had felt at that moment.
Going beak red in the face did Kira almost jump to her feat and apologised to Chaos, just to make matters worse she instantly realised she had been drooling, the embarrassment she felt was off the charts, and to make matters even worse was Chaos simply sitting there snickering at her antics, it totally wasn't fair!
especially seeing she had partially been responsible for the outcome.
Kira took a tiny bit to collect herself before getting up.
"Sorry that was really unsightly of me, I shouldn't have fallen asleep on you, I am aware you're here on behalf of my mother, but I can imagine you don't have time to waste on me sleeping"
"Absolute nonsense little one, it was a privilege to me that you allowed yourself to relax enough in my presence to show me your adorable sleeping face" Chaos smirked
Kira flushed further with embarrassment and to make matters worse did she not have any control in regards to her physical reactions noticing her tail swishing wildly in agitation, so in a desperate attempt to stop her new appendage from further embarrassing her she decided to simply grab her tail, and brought it in front of her partially hiding behind her own tail.
Chaos eyes went wide, and she literally shouted out loud
"Inari, look! I swear you will regret it if you don't"
this confused Kira slightly since as far as she was aware where Inari nowhere around, letting curiosity get the better of her she prodded her link to Inari.
"Uhm.... Mom? or should I call you Inari?"
Kira suddenly doubted herself, she had no clue when Inari had turned into mom in her head but it had crept in and solidified itself to a point that she hadn't even thought about it.
"Oh dearest, I couldn't be happier that you would willingly call me mom, please if you are OK with it keep calling me mom, I am your mother and nothing could make me prouder
Given the situation I assume you were about to ask if I could see and hear you, did you per chance forget where you are currently located ?
even if I wasn't checking up on you would everything said in the shrine get transmitted to me how else would I be able to hear the information provided by the Head priest or respond to when they need me to be there?
also please tell Chaos thank you and that I could not be happier or more pleased right now"
Kira shook her head and relayed the information to Chaos still hiding behind her tail not entirely grasping what that was about, but it was fluffy and it felt comfortable, it might be slightly childish behaviour, but at this moment she didn't care, besides looking at herself could she not really qualify for much more than a young kid in anyone's eyes.
it kind of surprised Kira that she wasn't really all that bothered by how young she had become, after all she was supposed to be an adult, but while Yin had some more childish streaks which was more likely related to seclusion, had Shino never once treated her like a kid, Kira supposed that it was likely the fact that nobody had really treated her as a kid was likely the main reason she hadn't been bothered.
"Now my new little niece, if I could snap you out of your personal thoughts and back into reality for me moment would that be nice"
Kiras head snapped instantly back to Chaos, Niece ? what ?
"Uhm sorry Lady Chaos, I realise mythology on earth might not really be the most accurate when it comes to information, but while I wasn't well versed in Eastern culture did I know a decent amount of what was shared about the western ones, and not once do I remember reading any relation between you and Inari, not that I had even heard of Inari prior to first time I spoke with her"
Chaos gently shook her head.
"Inari, do you want to explain or should I?"
Kira immediately heard Inaris reply trough their link
"You are free to tell her to go ahead, it was her decision after all"
"Ok, do you really have to use me, couldn't you just have told her directly?" Kira inquired starting to frown a tiny bit.
"Ofcourse I can, but that would Rob me of the excuse to talk to you, doesn't that make perfect sense ?"
Shaking her head Kira could not do anything else but sigh at her mother's response,
"Sorry for the delay, Inari told you to go ahead"
Chaos demeanor suddenly changed to a much more serious one.
"Dear, you probably didn't realize this but you have actually been asleep for something closer to Three days, both your body and your mind desperately needed it, and while you slept did I have a long talk with Inari.
I have decided to claim the position of aunt in your life, While I'm not technically related with Inari did something happen in the past causing me to feel a strong bond with her that would normally be reserved for sisters.
while I'm not really giving you a choice on that part did we realize much to our astonishment that Inaris seed is not maxing out the capacity to which your sold holds, and while discussing with Inari did we come up with an idea, essentially I will be offering you if you will take it a modified version of my seed, it is not going to be the same as Inaris, but will function more like a sub seed to her main seed, she also provided me some of her energy to make sure it would be compatible, honestly something like this have never been done before and we don't truly understand the risks of doing it, but you can think of my sub seed more like gaining the heritage and blood line I hold while you will still retain the primary traits of your mother.
this would however officially make you my family and allow me a claim none of the others would be willing to go against as only fools would go against me to try to hurt my kin, while immensely strong is Inari unfortunately alone, while I am not and this way can I offer my protection in an official capacity nobody can dispute?"
Kiras first reaction was to deny it out right, she already had one run in with her body telling her that she had been close to kicking the bucket once due to her not realising how big an impact Inaris seed had on her.
"Please can I have a few minutes to contemplate?"
Chaos gave her a gentle smile "Ofcourse dear"
"Mom, please let me know your thoughts on this, are you really OK with this, I already had some issues with the seed you gave me, are you sure this wouldn't lead to complications ?"
"Kira sweetie, I would never have allowed even the mention of this if I wasn't as sure as I could possibly be that this was safe and it wouldn't hurt you, I do admit that some small part of me initially was against it but it was really only down to my own selfishness being afraid that giving Chaos a connection to you like that would make you desire to choose her over me, but upon discussing this further with Chaos did I realize my fears didn't have any grounds to stand on, this will not only help you and make you stronger, but it will also help protect you in a better capacity than I would have been able to on my own
This doesn't mean we can bring you out in the open yet atleast until both seeds have merged with both each other and you, I know that this stuff is likely way too vague for you to understand but to use biology from your old realm, imagine it a bit like my seed is the dominant genes, and her seed will then be subservient but trying to supply any traits it believes can benefit you without clashing with the traits from my seed, once again have this never been done before, but I am convinced it will benefit you"
Kira was listening carefully to what her mom had said, it helped alot having it explained as genetic traits as she hadn't really fully grasped what they meant by a seed prior.
"I asked Inari for more details, I'm sorry if that came across as distrust, but I really needed to her input and to also confirm that she was OK with it, and it wasn't something you had forced her into, she made me very aware early on that some people would try to force their seed upon me regardless of my approval."
Chaos eyes immediately blinked rapidly a few times before she collected herself.
"You were right to consult Inari, and had your synergy with her seed not been so high would doing exactly that have been tempting, but I believe you deserve to make the choice for yourself and in the spirit of transparency is this something that I personally desire to do, it is a compromise because I know you belong to Inari, but I wanted to atleast be able to claim you as official family and provide you with my blood line, don't get me wrong you wouldn't have gotten rid of me by declining but it means something to me that you allow me to make it more official"
Her honesty surprised Kira, the fact that she openly admitting to wanting part of the claim to Kira but had accepted that Inari had claimed the top spot was more than she suspected anyone in Chaos position would have been willing to do.
Kira didn't exactly know what accepting this would mean moving forward, but ultimately had Chaos proven herself more than she could hope others would, she had her moms concent and it would help them against anyone with less honest intentions.
"So how do we do this ?"
Chaos got up from her chair and walked over to Kira and picked her up in her arms
"Little one, this is likely not going to be pleasant and I will need to take you with me to Inaris realm, your mind haven't fully acclimated to that strong spiritual energy, while your body would likely be fine would it not do you any good to try to mentally process it yet, and for this did both your mom and I agree it is likely better that you are asleep.
We will place you back in this shrine once we have finished and made sure everything is going well, I said before that you have already slept for days and you are likely to sleep a few days more.
however please don't worry about the little one waiting outside the shrine for you will this not have taken more than a few hours if at all possible would we not want anyone to know this happened atleast yet.
when you wake up there will be a little gift box beside you, please open it."
the moment Chaos finished speaking everything once again faded to black.
