Lest the Moon Blushes 月も赤らむほどに Part 1
"Let's see what you remember," Maiyoi told Shishi.
Maiyoi was in her part-human form, complete with cute, fluffy ears and three tails. She wore her signature purple kimono adorned with stars and comets.
They were outside Maiyoi’s new shrine. When the kitsune saw it for the first time, her initial reaction was, “Just wait until Ota-san hears about this! In time, he’ll understand.”
Between that and being reunited with Shishi—as her student, no less—she was still beaming.
She removed a fox skull from her kimono and held it out to Shishi.
Shishi refused it with a smile. "You'll be so proud. Just watch." She closed her eyes, concentrated, and her form began melting. As she shrank, her hair first turned a mild ginger and then a rich golden amber. It ran down her back and arms, replacing the warm clothes she was wearing. Her face became pointed, and sharp teeth replaced her normal ones. Before long, a fox stood in the moonlight where a human had stood.
Maiyoi clapped, capering around the transformed girl.
Bondage shy
Russet leaves fly
Wilderness
A moonlit sky
My kit and I
Having shown what she could do, the fox began morphing again. This time, she became a human with fluffy ears to match her friends' and a single bushy tail.
Maiyoi grabbed her hands and, still dancing, sang:
Sister dear
The moon quite pale
Sakara tints hales
Not to be outdone, Shishi finished the katauta:
Sensei love
Swallow proud
Now, to you, bows
Maiyoi switched back to prose, still gushing. "The moon should blush at my student's skill. To think the swallow mastered that so quickly! Should we move on to possession or something easier, like making kitsune gold?"
