so … when kira was younger, ken took her out for the day to the park so that she could ride her new bike for the first time. things were going well; great even. but all it took was a second of ken talking to another parent that by the time he turned back around, kira and her bike were crossing into a busy street. car incoming, all that could be done was to prepare for the worse. what followed, happened fast: the entire street experienced a power outage — which somehow included the car that had been seconds away from colliding with kira. that car was now at a standstill. battery dead, and what appeared to be burn damage across the hood. kira remained unharmed. she had fallen off of her bike and was noticeably dazed. it was only when ken picked her up in his arms that she reacted. confused, but not upset. only questioning where the fox she was riding after had gone.
the fox spirit made it’s presence known, though it had always been there. from the moment kira was born. a patient spirit and a watchful guardian, but only acting on it’s own sparingly. because it recognized that kira had to learn for herself, as any child does. that and she already had two parents, one of which being noshiko who was already a kitsune. one that would eventually teach kira. this time at the park, the fox spirit needed to intervene. ( 1 ) to make sure kira was unharmed / that the body they shared remained intact and ( 2 ) so that noshiko didn’t slack off / that she would recognize that kira was a kitsune like her.
noshiko wasn’t ready. instead she sought help from The Lady kitsune to help repress the fox spirit inside of kira for a little bit longer. long enough so that kira wouldn’t have to know of the supernatural so soon. and it worked. it worked all the way until barrow abducted her after they moved to beacon hills and ,, well ,, the fox spirit inside of kira awoke. :/
( as a child, kira remembered her near - accident for a short time after, in the form of nightmares. of headlights and flames roaring from under the hood of some phantom car that was speeding right towards her. but she grew out of it. forgot it. never had a reason to look back on it. so shout out to the dready docs xo )
in “ required reading ” ( 5.6 ) scott, lydia, and stiles had their respective flashbacks of their past traumas, all thanks to reading the dread doctor novel. ( the novel which valek wrote / designed to help the reader recall memories. specifically any that were suppressed by the dread doctors, and additionally any repressed memory they have in general. )
with that in mind, kira didn’t have her revelation until later. due to the difficulty that the novel presented thanks to kira being a kitsune / her not being able to understand. though her memory was that of the dread doctors tampering with the fox spirit inside of her, that doesn’t take away from her potentially having / did have a traumatic memory that she repressed.
this also just ... comes from the fact that there was a photo of ken’s actor + a child actor, with the caption of “ my daughter for the day ” ...... and that there was a kira scene cut from s5 ............ i can only assume there was another memory for kira. so here’s my two cents on that.
** this doesn’t take away from the fact that ... in the first place, kira’s fox spirit was trying to get her to remember what the dr’s did to her. p much, thanks to their imbalance ( and since the two share a body / not a mind ) the fox spirit couldn’t just let her know.
