Reiko Inari

Reiko couldn't relax, even though it was such a nice day. The sun shined through the pines and firs of the Stormshadow forest. The day was bright and the air was cool, perfect whether for a girl in white fur, but the vixen just simply couldn't stop fidgeting with her tails. She curled the tip and wrapped the fur around her finger before looking up to a brown five tailed kitsune boy, Naoki. He was was probably Rei's closest friend, an honest fox. He was also a healer with knowledge of curses.
“I don't know, Reiko, The spell on your kitsune ball is strong. I think it could have even been cast by a kitsune or tengu lord.” The brown fox said and looked at Rei with concerned orange eyes.
“I-I guess that would make sense.” Rei stammered as gently took her magic ball back and deposited in a pocket of her kimono. “I lost most my magic, I'm weaker than the one tails.” She whined as she got up and flicked her tails. The vixen forced a smile as she told herself to cheer up in her head and Naoki returned it.
“Well you're alive, a curse like that could have killed a weaker kitsune.” The five tails said and patted Rei on the back. “And hey, you-” He lost track on trying to cheer his friend up. “You have me!” Naoki finished in hopes he saved his efforts.
“Yeah, I have you...” The vixen giggled as she tried to make her smile seem more earnest. She did like Nao. He was always kind to her and they often played together in the forest, chasing each other or bouncing their kitsune balls to each other, a game only played with Trusted friends.
Rei was starting to perk up as she gave Naoki a nuzzle of friendship. The girl was ready to forget her worries and that stupid sword, the one she was meant to protect but failed. The girl was ready to suggest maybe going to the village to play with humans when another kitsune entered with a bang of foxfire to signify its entrance.
The newcomer was dressed in red robes that hid the entire body, a servant of the Inari clan Matron. Rei mood was shattered when she knew what was wanted.
“The Inari clan is called to Council, You are required to come, miss Reiko.” The stern older woman's voice echoed from the shroud. “You must not bring any human artifacts.” The woman finished.
Rei's eyes dropped, looking at the needled ground. The last part had her worried, because the denial of human artifacts meant she was facing punishment. The girl found one of her tails in her hands, fur getting frizzed from the nervous fidgeting once again. Rei was being punished for her failure.
