I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

Chapter 201: Awake Once Again

[Luna POV]

When I woke up next, I was strangely refreshed.  I also noticed that what was under my head wasnt my usual pillow.  I opened my eyes slightly to see exactly what I expected to.

Ta-ma-mo. (Luna)

{Ufufu.  Good morning, Luna.  I would kiss you now, but were not alone at the moment, so Ill hold off.}

I was confused for a second when I remembered what happened as well as felt the weight in my tails.  I looked back to see Tonya asleep and hugging one of my tails like a body pillow.  In another place was a cat with two tails that I assumed to be Mio.  It took me a few seconds for that recognition to click and then I started to panic.  My free tails started to wave about and I was about to move Mio when Tamamo stopped me.

{Its alright, Luna.  Tonya did something to protect Mios mind, so she was safely able to sleep there.  Now she should be safe even when Tonya isnt here.}

I relaxed at that.

Can she do the same for the others that need it? (Luna)

Nyo.  I can only protect those with my blessing nya.  And I dont feel like doing that for anyone else but Mio nya. (Tonya)

Talk about selfish. (Luna)

It is what it is nya.  Who knyows nya, I might change my mind in the future nya.  But for nyow, I dont feel like it nya. (Tonya)

I took in a deep breath.

*Sigh* Fair enough.  Its just as selfish of me to even ask that of you, so Ill call us even on that. (Luna)

MmIll be off nyow nya.  More dreams to watch nya.  Tell Mio to sleep more nya. (Tonya)

Tonya then disappeared in a puff of purplish fog.

She is so different from the last time I saw her. (Luna)

{Ufufu.  Even if shes different, shes still interesting.}

Do you know why? (Luna)

{I do, but its not my place to tell you.}

I nodded my head.  Then I moved to lay by Tamamos side.  I moved the tail that Mio was sleeping on over in front of me and started petting her.  Tamamo did the same.  We were quiet for a few minutes.

So, I lost.

{Yes.  And very quickly at that.}

I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, and released it.

This is for the best.

{It is.}

I took another deep breath then snuggled up to Tamamo.

Um, do you want me to leave? (Mio)

I froze.

(Luna)

{Its fine, Mio, I was just leaving.}

Eh!? (Luna)

{If I stay, you wont go forward.  Remember Luna, eight tails, but dont rush headlong for it, well be here for eternity after all.}

Tamamo the disappeared in a flash of light.

(Luna)

Mio moved away from me, hopped off the bed and transformed into her humanoid form.  She reached for the door before I stopped her.

Mio, depth. (Luna)

100% nya. (Mio)

I pointed at her and used my divine skill.

Bang. (Luna)

Nya! (Mio)

And youre good. (Luna)

I got up from the bed as well and started to move towards the door.

Fufufu.  Dont just stand there Mio. (Luna)

As I moved passed her, she suddenly hugged me.

Thank you, Lunya nya. (Mio)

I patted her on the head and smiled.

Of course, my eternal friend. (Luna)

We left the room and headed down the hallway.  When we got to the living room, Velvet, Soleil, and Ophidia were sitting there and drinking some tea.

Wheres Skadi? (Luna)

Hey master.  Shes locked herself in her room for some reason. (Ophidia)

She wont even let you in? (Luna)

Nope.  She didnt even answer me when I called out to her.  Of course I can just teleport in there if I felt like it, but I feel like that would be a bad thing to do. (Ophidia)

Hmm.  I wonder if anything has happened recently. (Luna)

She has been a bit jumpy around Ophidia since a few days ago. (Velvet)

Oh?  Ophidia, did anything happen between the two of you? (Luna)

(Ophidia)

Her silence and blush were all the answer I needed.

Give her some time, Ophidia.  When shes ready, shell come to you. (Luna)

What? (Luna)

That sounded like actually good advice. (Velvet)

Good advice comes from those with experience, Velvet.  And experience is something I have in droves. (Luna)

Everyone in the room blushed at my words.

Heh.  Ophidia, you and Skadi can stay here until everything is resolved.  The rest of us are going back. (Luna)

Alright, master.  Ill heed your words. (Ophidia)

Everyone but Ophidia gathered around me and we teleported back to the Elf Nation.  When we arrived, we left Lias home.

Oh right, Mio.  Tonya told me to tell you to sleep more. (Luna)

Why though nya?  I already sleep more than I used to nya. (Mio)

I guess she thinks its still not enough. (Luna)

Nyaaaa.  If I do that, then Ill just never be awake nya.  Just because I like sleep, doesnt mean that I like it that much nya. (Mio)

Anyway, do we go to the guild as we planned to last time, or something else? (Luna)

I think we should.  I mean, its not like Ophidia and Skai will miss much. (Soleil)

With you saying that, they just might. (Luna)

Wait, was that one of those things that Im not supposed to say? (Soleil)

Yep. (Luna)

Gah! (Soleil)

Velvet patted Soleils head to comfort her.

Its fine, Soleil, were with Luna, so something happening is guaranteed.  They wont miss much. (Velvet)

You know, I kind of miss the Velvet that would deny something like that. (Luna)

Blame yourself for that. (Velvet)

Nyahahahahahaha. (Mio)

[Ophidia POV]

Once master and the others were gone, I got up and went to Skadis door.  I knocked on it and spoke.

Skadi, the others have left.  I will sit right here and wait until you have your feelings in order. (Ophidia)

I then sat beside the door.  Several hours later, the door opened slightly and I saw Skadis crimson eyes looking at me.

Skadi? (Ophidia)

The door opened more and a crimson-faced Skadi beckoned me to enter.  I did and as soon as I was inside, Skadi shut and locked the door.  She came up to me and leaned her head on my back.  She took in a shaky breath then spoke.

Ophidia. (Skadi)

The way she sounded made tingles go down my spine.  I quickly turned around and grabbed Skadi into a tight hug.

Skadi. (Ophidia)

She looked up at me and I saw her face was less red than before.  She then pushed me down onto the bed.

Im ready, Ophidia. (Skadi)

She then leaned down and gave me a passionate kiss.

Chaos Realm:

And we're back.

Order: Indeed.

Don't be sad, Order.  She wasn't our daughter, we were just watching her for her actual parents.

Order: Hmmm.

Atmos: Anyway, welcome back.  Someone new showed up.

Fenrir: So, you are the gods or Chaos and Order.  Nice to meet you, I am Fenrir.

Hello Fenrir.

Order: Nice to meet you.

So, Atmos, what did we miss?

Atmos: Well, things went as expected on Luna's side, and on Skadi and Ophidia's, things have progressed.

Hmm.  I'm happy for them then.

Order: Indeed.

Fenrir: Am I just being ignored?

No, just needed to get that out of the way.  Anything you want to know?

Fenrir: I'd like a more detailed explanation of this place.  While I believe everything Atmos has told me, I'd still like the details from the owner of this place.

Then sit and we'll talk.
