Miyuiki had exchanged her formal kimono for a pleated blue hakama, diverting from the usual red used by Shinto priestesses, and a white kusode that barely covered her expansive breasts. Of a set with her mother who wore the same. Both Miko yurei were trailed by spectral flames that left a faint layer of rimforst where they walked down the shrine's exterior. They were inspecting the grounds and introducing the young yuki-onna to her duties. As well as re-introducing her friends to her undead yurei-self.
"彼女はアメリカ人すぎるお姉さん(Older sister she is too American)." Even as she voiced her complaint about Kim... Kimiko, formerly Kip, Miyuki's tone remained respectful and deferential. "浅黒い肌のギャル痴女。 日本語を話す方法をまだほとんど知らない人(A dark-skinned gyaru slut. Who still only barely knows how to speak Japanese)." Although saying nothing about aunt Sutane's decision to leave as much of the old Kip as she had. She respected her elders. At least the tomboyish six-tailed kitsune did not lack in excitement. "...無限の質問をする(Asking endless question)." While it only lasted for a moment, something warm melted her frozen features.
"スタネは娘と自由にやりたい(Sutane is free to do as she wishes with her daugther)." Yuki-Onna admonished Miyuki without any real harshness in her tone and well aware of her true feelings. Then she took hold of the young yōkai, guiding her and pressing her up against the wall. Forgetting she didn't need to breathe, whispers of trailing smoke escaped from Miyuki's parted lips. The incestuous lust she felt for the older woman captured her heart in an icy grip. "私と同じ(Same as me)." Miyuki twitched excitedly, their breasts and hardening nipples brushing up against each other as a result, but her blue eyes were pleading to not do this here. To wait until they were in their ice realm.
"お母さん(Mother)..." Remembering everything about her past as Paul, she knew Yuki-Onna was not her real mother. Though her old life hardly mattered anymore. Miyuki placed a hand on her mother's chest where her heart should've been beating were either of them alive, blue flames licking the outline where their pale skin made contact. "私はあなたのものです(I am yours)." She'd have sat down on her knees and bowed if not for the yurei holding her up and tipping her chin so they could look straight into each other's eyes. All she had to do was ask and Miyuki would drain the warmth from the sun for her, capturing Earth and the Sol system in an eternal frozen night.
As punishment for her comments about her sister, Yuki-Onna didn't say anything as she released Miyuki from her grip, only indicating that her daughter should follow. Her expression glacial and stern, which Miyuki did her best to adopt as well. Miyuki reached out, furtively entwining the fingers of one of their hands together. Glad when her mother didn't say anything about the familial and intimate gesture. Her mother could be playful too, both spending the almost entirety of yesterday playing snow tag. Yuki-Onna's sisters likely knew all about her secrets, but nothing wrong with pretending a little.
It was a fair walk to cover the entirety of the grounds, letting them share a long and comfortable silence. Sections of the gardens were overgrown, easy enough to handle for Miyuki or her sister Shrine Maidens, but the rotted floor boards were a different matter. Kimiko or Sutane's illusions could cover them up as a temporary measure, but they and countless other sections would require actual repairs. Which meant money.
Kim had suggested opening the temple as a hotel-disguised brothel earlier. One of many options they discussed. And Miyuki had to admit to having an interest in tasting and draining living humans' lifeforce after she and her mother's earlier lovemaking gave her a taste of Paul's heat that Yuki-Onna had stolen. The Texas-style BBQ restaurant was dismissed entirely out of hand, however. But the kitsune had tricked Miyuki into compromising on a Cosplay Cafe, likely her intended goal. Although they had to wait for Dustin's input and their mothers and aunts' ultimate approval.
"絡新婦はあなたの友人に私たちの援助を求めました(Jorōgumo has asked for our assistance with your friend)." Yuki-Onna explained as they returned to the central temple structure, leading her to the door into the spider's domain. "彼は彼女の影響に抵抗している(He is resisting her influence)."
