Prompt:After a party at your house, when everyone else is gone, you go to the kitchen to clean up a little and find a drunk Inari sitting on the floor. "I'm sorry, I think ... Hic! ... I drank a little too much ... Hic! ... I do not think ... Hic! ... It would be a good idea to drive ... Hic! my house ... Hic! Could I ... Hic! ... Sleep in your bed today? "

I look at her and sigh, the couch is already taken by a hellhound that passed out, and I think a few of my buddies ended up passing out in the guest room. "Fine." I pick her up and, after trying to help her walk just has the both of us topple over and her bursting into giggles, I just carry her.

"Ooh, so strong." She wraps herself around me and kisses me on the cheek, her tails rubbing up against me. "Such a handsome man, too. Oh, I could use a man like you back at the temple." I just nod politely, dropping her in my bed and wrapping the blankets around her. I lay down on the carpet, knowing better than to get in bed with a drunken mamono.

"Heeeeey." She whines, leaning over the bed. "Aren't you meant to be up here with me?" I shake my head.

"Nope. I'm not stupid." She whines, and from behind me I hear a thump and a groan, turning over I see her, on her head, ass in the air as she falls off the ground. "Really?" In a moment she's recovered herself, squirming over to me and wrapping me in her tails.

"Please? It'd be so much nicer with me...." I sigh and relent, knowing that either I let her snuggle up to me, or keep moving all night.

"Fine. Not like there's much choice." She cheers and wriggles into me, her tails pulling me against her. A few moments is all it takes for the drunken fox girl to fall asleep. I curse my own stupidity, since I'm now stuck sleeping on the floor, with no one in my bed.

When I wake up, I'm still covered in furry tails, the inari twitching slightly as she sleeps. Apparently at some point I wrapped my arms around her. I try to pull away, but wake her in the process. She wakes with a dull groan.

"Owww. How much did I drink last night?"

"Too much." I say, and she rolls over to look at me, then smiles.

"Ohh, hello handsome." I feel her tails tighten around me. "I must have been really out of it, considering we're both still wearing clothes.

"You wre collapsed in my kitchen." She chuckles, letting me out of her tails.

"Ah, my sincerest apologies. When I come to a party like this, I tend to forget myself." I just wave a hand at her.

"It's fine, now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a hellhound in the main room that needs to be dealt with." She gives me a curious look, before grabbing my arm.

"Please, allow me. It's the least I can do for your accomodation." She quickly goes downstairs, and I sit on the bed, waiting for the yelling and the crash of the door. Nothing comes, then I start smelling something. Something good.

I follow the smell to the kitchen, where the inari has just started the stove and is cooking breakfast.

"Um...." Is all I can manage, she turns to look at me with a warm smile.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm sure I was a handful last night, so just take a seat and let me treat you." Seeing no reason not to, I sit down at the small table, before crashing and groaning start coming from the guest room.

"Holy shit, what's that smell?!" One of my friends rounds the corner, holding his torn pants to his crotch as he enters the kitchen. "Whatever you're cooking, it smells awesome." He looks to the stove, and spot's the three fluffy tails waving about as the inari cooks.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be sure to make enough for everyone." He takes a moment, before his hung over brain clicks.

"Oh shit!" He scrambles out of the room, and I'm forced to see his bare ass as he runs back to the guest room. I sigh and shake my head.

"Sorry about him. I'm usually the only one sober enough to be cooking this early." She chuckles, tails flicking around mischeviously.

"It's quite alright. Compared to my duties at the temple, it's nothing."

"So, what do you do? Are you one of the priestess'?" She shakes her head, chuckling again.

"No, my older sisters are though, but as the youngest, I'm still just an acolyte, along with my half-sisters." Another groan and my friend walks around the corner, dressed in the spare clothes he gave me before the party started, with a jorou-gumo behind him, clutching her head.

"Tell me you've got some water?" She asks, and I nod, grabbing a set of glasses out of the cupboard.

After pouring everyone  glass of water, the inari serves up the food. I sit back down and dig in, enjoying not having to cook after a party for once.

"So, why in pandaemonium are you so cheery? Last night you looked like you were gonna have a serious hangover." She just giggles before taking another bite of her food.

"Magic is the best hangover cure I've found." The other two look at her jealously.

"Wish I could do that." My friend says, the jorou nodding next to him.

"So, do either of you two remember what you did last night?" I ask, getting a somewhat embarrased look from the two.

"I think we all know what happened, but neither of us remember it." I chuckle, it's not the first time he's been drunk with a girl.

"Ah, I should go. My sister's are probably starting to wonder where I am." The inari stands up, then gives me another warm smile. "If you ever want to talk, just come up to the temple, we'd love your company." With that, she leaves, tails swishing behind her.

"So... you gonna go see her, or should I take your place?" The jorou next to him looks mildly offended by the comment.

"Aren't I enough for you?" She asks sadly, and he immediately backpeddals and tries to comfort the poor woman.

"I might, she seems nice enough." I look at the jorou "And don't worry about him, he's always like this." My friend gives me a glare, but doesn't deny it. He was with a kejourou last month, but he might have soem trouble getting away from this woman.

At any rate, I decide to visit the temple in a few days. As I'm walking up to the entrance, some of the attending tsuki's start whispering. I step through the arch into the temple grounds proper, and find many kitsune-tsuki's moving about, a few kitsune-bi's floating to and from. And as I'm looking around, an inari with seven tails steps up to me.

"Greetings, and to what do we owe the pleasure of your patronage?" I look around a bit more, just as I open my mouth the woman put's a finger to my lips. "Just kidding. I know who you're after, one moment." With that she walks away, through a door into one of the smaller shrines. Stepping out out of the small building, I spot the inari from the party, smiling as she approaches me.

"So, you decided to come? I am so pleased." She says with that air of elegant composure so many of her kind have. Without waiting for a response she brings me out to one of the gardens, seating the both of us on a bench.

"So, why did you come?" She asks, her sultry smile offering little understanding of her thoughts.

"Well, I just thought I'd come and talk. You said if I wanted to I could, didn't you?" She nods slowly, eyes closing for a moment.

"Indeed I did. I suppose I should start with my name. I am Mae Shivas, fourth daughter of Lady Shivas, and head acolyte of her wandering children."

"That's... an impressive title." Is all I can give after the calm announcement. She breaks her facade with a giggle.

"Oh, please. It's a fancy way of saying I look after all of my kitsune-tsuki half-sisters. Mother or my sisters give me the tasks for the day, and I give the directions to the others." She puts a hand on my lap, that calm, sultry smile returning. "But you can just call me Mae."

"Right. Um, my name's Arun Hisato, uh... just Arun is fine." She giggles again, her eyes softening a little.

"So then, Arun. What do you want to talk about?"

We talk for an hour, about what we do and who we hang around with. It's mostly just small talk, with plenty of laughs and sighs from our various stories. Mae looks up at the sky, then sighs.

"It was quite enjoyable to speak with you, Arun, but I must be getting back to my duties." She rises slowly, giving me the warmest look I've yet seen from her.

"Well, it was fun to talk with you as well, Miss Shivas." She chuckles, and puts a hand on my chest.

"Please, just Mae is fine." She leans in and plants a kiss on my cheek, leaning into my ear. "If you can keep this up, there might be more than conversation waiting for you here." With that she walks away, her hips sending her tails swaying with their motions.

"I think she likes you." I jump at the unexpected voice, turning around to see the woman who'd greeted me.

"Wha-when did you-" I'm cut off by a rich laugh.

"Oh, my apologies, I forget you don't deal with us often. She does like you very much, though." I nod, having worked that out already. She shakes her head, a soft huff escaping her.

"Good, you aren't blind to the affections of a woman. You'd be surprised the number of men who have thought she was simply being polite." she walks around and sits on the bench "Do you intend to move forward with her? And if so, will you be willing to stay here with her?" I raise an eyebrow.

"What does that mean? Do I have to live here just because I'm thinking about having an inari as a friend?" She shakes her head, sighing in irritation.

"If that is as far as you wish to take it, then no. But if you desire to become her partner, you must understnd she has many obligations here, and should you join her, you will be expected to take up some amount of those duties yourself. I just want you to know what you're getting yourself into. Mother knows, my husband was rather shocked when he came to the temple." She giggles at some private memory.

"Uh... thanks? I'll keep that in mind." She nods, pulling herself up.

"I live to serve. At least until my last two tails come in. Then I may just go create my own temple...." She wanders away imagining some world where she had her own followers and servants.

I go home and start thinking about this, and decide it can't be too terrible to work in the temple. Besides, Mae's sweet and cute, she's probably worth the added effort.
