Six pages behind, but this omake-bunny won't let go of my brain. PREPARE FOR CUTES!
"Mother?"
Miho looked up, to see Sora entering the room, walking... rather oddly. "Yes, Sora-chan?"
"Have you seen Atsushi-chan?" the Kyuubi-shipgirl asked. "I just can't seem to find him anywhere."
Miho blinked, and bent sideways in her chair to get better look behind her daughter. Unusually, Sora had all nine tails out. Also unusual was the fact that she was carrying said tails almost horizontally -- in fact, below waist level, making a sort of low-hanging "cloud" of furriness. And even more unusual was the fact that said cloud had... apparently sprouted a clump of small feet. Familiar small feet.
Mother and daughter made eye contact, and shared a moment of desperately trying to keep their faces straight. "Have you looked for the mini-subs?" Miho managed to choke out. "You know how they seem to always get into mischief together."
"Oh, dear," Sora intoned melodramatically. "I haven't been able to find them, either. I do so hope they haven't gotten up to anything naughty."
"Well, why don't you check the back yard, dear?"
"That's a good idea!"
Miho was quite proud of herself for not falling on the floor laughing as she watched her eldest carefully maneuver around in the doorway (rather like a large truck in a small driveway) without dislodging her "tail cloud." Both women carefully ignored the giggling and whispers emanating from Sora's tails.
It was only after Sora had sailed, stately as a Standard, down the hall and out the back door, that Miho realized she had completely forgotten to capture the moment on her phone, and used several words she would never have uttered in the little ones' hearing.
========
"Sora, love," Eric said grimly, "I'm afraid you may have an infestation of gigglesprites."
Sora rounded her eyes at him. "Gigglesprites? What are those?"
"I was reading about them in this British magical cryptozooological journal that I borrowed from Harry-kun, the 'Quibbler.' Apparently, they infest the tails of magical beings that have thick, bushy tail-fur."
"Oh dear! What do we do?"
Eric eyed the sudden lack of motion in the lumps that had been moving about in Sora's tails. "Well, I may have to dive in and dig through your tails. According to the Quibbler, the only cure for gigglesprites is to grab them, and then tickle them until they die of laughter. It'll be tough with just one arm, but please bear with me!"
========
"I have to say," Harry said warmly as he waved at "Baker Fleet" walking down the opposite sidewalk, "it's certainly nice that youkai don't have to hide their nature on-base."
"It's nice to walk down the street without having to hold onto my human form," Natsumi agreed, also waving. "I'm sure Sora-san especially appreciates it, what with having nine tails... speaking of which, what in the world is....?"
Harry had, in the Yank vernacular, seen some shit. But nothing that had quite prepared him for... for the sight of a kyuubi kitsune walking down the sidewalk, tails floating behind her in a low dense cloud... and a number of small feet protruding from the bottom of said cloud and scuttling busily along to keep pace with the utterly oblivious kitsune.
An "urk!" was Harry's only warning. "Hoppou-chan!"
There was the sound of a battleship falling keel-first into a dry dock, and he turned to see Hoppou holding up a practically comatose Nagato, whose eyes had turned into little swirly spirals.
"Well, Mum's out for an hour or so," he said dryly. "But, you know...." He stared at the receding forms of Sora, her family, and her... tag-alongs. Then turned to look at Natsumi, the Patented Potter "I Love Trouble And Trouble Loves Me" grin spreading across his face.
"Harry-chan, no!"
"Harry-chan, dess!"
"Harry-chan, you're too tall! And-- no, Hoppou-chan, not you too! Not the DD Eyes! Come on, I don't have enough tails to pull that off!"
Harry rubbed his chin. "Hmmm... think we could talk Hoshi-san into it? Or your grandparents?"
Natsumi's own grin grew to match his. "If we get my imouto to help us...."
=======
Harry had never seen Hoshi actively blushing before. He took a moment to savor the sight before moving in for the kill.
"Hoshi-san? What happened to make your tails get so much bigger?"
His kyuubi combat instructor blinked at him, then craned her head around to look over her shoulder. "What do you mean, Harry-chan?"
Butter would not have melted in Harry's mouth. "Well, they've suddenly grown about a dozen feet...."
(during their next training session, Hoshi proceeded to demonstrate just how she could weaponize her "fluffy tails," and Harry picked up an entirely new set of bruises in the process. But it was, in his smug opinion, totally worth it)
