Before answering, Shishi took an object from a bag at her feet. "I would like to learn one more transformation. It's something that would make Ume happy."

“What is it? Oh, a book. Let me see it.”

"I found it in a bookstore. It’s from the Edo period,” Shishi explained. “Look.”

Maiyoi held the book up to the moonlight and ran her fingers across the cover. "It's faded. Wait, I have it! It's an etiquette guide. Whatever do you have in mind? Does Ume like strict mistresses or is it librarians?”

Shishi laughed. “Neither of those. I might like a strict mistress, but Ume wouldn’t. Let me do this. I want to surprise you both, you now and Ume Christmas morning. Is it okay if I learn to do possession tomorrow?”

“Oh, ho, ho. Do you think you can learn that in one night? But we can start tomorrow. I would be a fine #excuse of a teacher if I wouldn't help my student make her lover happy. Let's begin. Face the Big Dipper.” Maiyoi wrapped her arms around Shishi and slowly spun her to face the constellation. “But beware, lest you make me too jealous, though. Listen,”

          Lest the moon
          Glimpses pool ruffles
          Envies the wind

Shishi laughed and kissed Maiyoi’s cheek and replied,

          Ruffled pool
          A moon worshiper
          Yet wind embraces

"Such cruelty!" Maiyoi cried, laughing. "I should snatch the wind with my teeth, lest it steal the pool from me."

“Fear not. The moon will always be in my sky, even if the wind embraces me.”

"Now watch, Sensei," said Shishi, placing the book on her head.

"Pray and visualize what you want to become," Maiyoi instructed.

The change was slower this time, but when Shishi turned to face her teacher again, her face had changed to that of a young European woman, and her clothes…

“An Edo maid. So that’s Ume’s weakness,” Maiyoi cried, clapping.

“Maids and idols. She can be quite the otaku.”

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?"
