I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

Chapter 46: Important Discussion: Luna’s Side

[Luna POV]

I was following dad to where Soleil was waiting for us.  It seems that they figured out the reason behind her unhealthy fascination with me.  I had an idea of what it was, but this will serve as conformation.  We entered the training grounds and moved over to the break room.  Soleil was waiting for us there along with Ana.

Hello everyone, sorry for taking so long to come back.

Its Ok Luna.

Now Soleil, tell Luna what you have been doing for years.

I have been sneaking away from home, coming into your room, and petting your tail until I fall asleep then waking up and going back home before you get up.  She answered while her ears and tail drooped.

I had a feeling that was the case, but now that you confirmed it, I dont know what to do.  Im honestly surprised you stayed sane.

Sorry big sis, Ill try to do it less often.

I sighed; Soleil, I understand how you feel, I really do, but you need to hold off for a while and let your mind get accustomed to it.  If you sink too much at a time, you wont be able to come back, and I dont want the person I see as my little sister become a fluff crazed zombie that cant control herself.  Do you understand?

I do.

Im surprised you arent thinking of stopping her.

Well, me and Tamamo discussed it a bit and I decided that it would probably be better in the long run to get the people close to me slowly accustomed to the Abyss that is my fluff.  Soleil should probably hold off for a while, but everyone else should be fine at least a little bit.

Thats a nice surprise, I never thought I would get to brush your tail again or should I say tails?

I wouldnt say youll get much enjoyment out of it.  I let Velvet try yesterday and she almost lost it after a while.  She did have this weird resistance, but even she started to sink to far for her to handle.

Are you saying that well sink too fast?

Yes, Im not too sure how it works but even with high mental resistance, would you willingly resist something that draws you into a comforting embrace and makes it feel like all your troubles will just go away if you stay just a bit longer.  If I had hostile intention, you would probably put up some extra resistance, but since we all are family or basically are, you would probably willingly give yourself to the feeling.  I dont want the people I care about be under a kind if brainwashing.

Is this what youve been worried about for so long?

Yeah.

Are you sure this isnt some kind of curse?

If it was, it would have disappeared immediately.  I cant be cursed, remember?

Oh yeah.

It doesnt really affect anything in my daily life and its actually quite nice when I spend time with Tamamo since she enjoys it, but she can only enjoy it fully because shes a goddess.  Unless I can somehow elevate all of you to some kind of higher being, the only way I can think of is to get you all used to it slowly.  Whats the point of keeping it all to myself and Tamamo when my fluff should be spread to all?

Luna, are you OK?  You sound a bit strange.

Eh, sorry.  I have started to get weird about all of this since yesterday.  I dont even know why I started referring to interacting with my tails as sinking.  Ill ask Tamamo about it later.

Does this mean Im forgiven?

Yeah, just make sure you dont sneak into my room and hug and pet my tails for a while, got it?

Yeah, Ill try my best.

I need you to do more than try, Im not afraid to freeze your door and windows over to keep you away for the night.

Ill even have Blake nail them shut for the night if I have to.

I dont think that will be necessary.  Big sis, Ill try, no I will resist the urge to embrace your tails until you tell me otherwise.

Good.  By the way, I want you to take Velvet around the village tomorrow.  When you come to join my party, the two of you will be working together a lot, so I want the two of you to get along.  No more acting as rude as you were earlier, got it?

Yes.

Good, now go to home and to bed.

Understood.  Ill see you at home, mom.

We all listened until we couldnt hear Soleils footsteps anymore.

Luna, why are you trying to get my daughter and your friend together?

Im not entirely sure myself.  I just think those two would go good together, so Ive been acting off that feeling.

Did you end up getting a diviner skill of some kind, Luna?  Ive been getting the same feeling, but Im conflicted as Soleils mother.

I didnt but I have a feeling that the Goddess of Fate has something to do with it.  This seems like the kind of thing she would do.  Now that I think about it, I wonder if Atmos has a second Authority?

There you go again speaking a goddesss name without fear of repercussion.

Well, I have met her, and she never said I couldnt call her by her name.

Anyway, go to bed, Luna.  I want you to join the morning training tomorrow as well as to see you use your fox transformation skill.

OK, see you both tomorrow.

While on my way to my room, I started to think about something I said earlier.

Am I also getting affected by my fluff.

{Not necessarily, its just a part of your nature as the Abyss Fluff to want to spread it.  Just accept it as part of you, and it wont bother you.}

Hey Tamamo, where did you go earlier?

{I had some business to take care of, nothing you need to worry about.  In other news, the full moon is the day after tomorrow.  Im looking forward to your visit.}

So am I. I answered, a happy smile spreading across my face.
