For @kirayukimuraappreciation, Day 3: What If Wednesday
The auburn sunlight of dusk prickled Kira’s eyes as she dashed forward along the rooftop under the cloak of early darkness. The hoodie obscured her sight but her legs knew her destination, just like a dance. She followed a choreography along the edge, leaping into the air and landing on the opposite building with only a moment of recuperation before sprinting away from her pursuer once more, always just a few seconds ahead, but seemingly maintaining a gap her chaser couldn’t bridge.
Still, shaking the guy off was a challenge - he was skilled in keeping pace, after all - and Kira had only a fleeting moment to think of her next move. Gracefully, she jumped across a narrow alley, aiming for the parallel building, and found a grip on a balcony’s edge with her muscles straining to keep her up while she gathered the strength to launch herself onto the fire escape that curled down the side of the building. She didn’t waste time with the stairs, but merely hopped from one platform to the other until she was safely on the ground and sweeping easily past ordinary civilians blocking her way. She was like a shadow floating across the crowd with the setting sun guiding her towards the industrial building a few blocks down. From the distance, she could easily discern the helicopter on the roof and the dark figure boarding it – her target.
She made quick work of weaving past the people and bursting into the edifice, which, as expected, had no elevator. Her calves would feel the burn, she knew, but she ascended the stairs as swiftly as she possibly could with the echo of another pair of footsteps chasing after her. There was no need for momentum as the door flew open to reveal the helicopter rising into the air and about to leave the premises, and Kira took a deep breath to prepare for the flight.
Just as the helicopter crossed the roof’s edge and hovered above the busy street ten stories high, Kira flung herself over the gap between the building and the vehicle, and for a moment, she felt like she was flying in an unnatural, and yet exhilarating way for a fox. She grabbed the helicopter’s skids with both arms (and a pained grunt), but the bruises disappeared as quickly as they came. She dangled from the bottom with the sunlight warming her face and gravity doing its hardest to yank her down into certain death. She held on, though, with a laugh as she noticed her chaser calling someone - definitely the target - from the roof she had thrown herself off of.
Then, arms reached out of the helicopter to pull her into safety, and she continued to grin even as she found herself on board with three other cast members.
“Dude, I have no idea how you do these things with a smile,” One of them commented with a pat on her back, “Awesome job as always, by the way.”
“Yeah, my money’s on you being secretly superhuman,” Another said with a wink and a bottle of water offered to Kira.
She took a sip as she watched the late afternoon’s light cast the city in a colourful parade, and she gave herself a minute to lament the fact that this was the last of the major stunts needed to be shot for this movie.
Even at home, she couldn’t help recalling that feeling of flying. It was freedom and fear at its rawest form, and Kira absolutely lived for it. When she first returned from the Skinwalkers, she was beyond confused and lost over the direction she wanted to give to her life. All she had known was that she needed a change of scenery, so she moved to LA with no plans, but all the more hope.
Finding the movie industry and doing daring stunt after daring stunt became her life. It was freedom: she didn’t need to hide her strength or skill set. She could live to her (almost) full potential, and experience things she never would have otherwise. It was also therapy, she supposed, running because you had to perform instead of running for your life like she did back in Beacon Hills.
“I see you’re still alive.”
Kira smiled and sat up in bed, burying her face in Malia’s stomach when her girlfriend came closer.
“The shooting went without trouble,” Kira emphasized with an affectionate glimpse up at Malia’s blank face - she was worried, as always, “You know that nothing bad could happen to me there.”
Malia sighed and sat down, letting Kira crawl into her lap and nuzzle at her throat.
“I know,” Malia said softly, her arms protectively enveloping Kira on instinct, “And I know it also makes you happy. Right?”
Kira pulled back and gave a series of enthusiastic nods. “Very much.”
They shared a smile, foreheads touching, before Kira’s grin shifted into a wicked smirk more reminiscent of a vixen.
“Do you want me to show you some of my more… acrobatic moves?”
Malia held her a bit more tightly, her reply just as teasing as her wandering hands: “You know I could never stand between you and being a show off.”
Kira burst into a pit of laughter, which served as a great distraction for Malia to tackle her onto the bed, a loving gaze following the sounds bubbling up from Kira as she prepared to show her girlfriend that there were more ways than one to experience flying.

(Su) 11/15 Day 7: Kira + Culture OR Stories
WRITING PROMPTS
(M) 11/09 Day 1, You Said I’d Learn: (Kira + Learning to be a Kitsune) Today’s all about Kira learning how to be a kitsune! Skills like healing, kitsune powers like foxfire, milestones like earning tails, natural proclivities like mastering a katana or agility, learning to hide her aura, summoning oni, what it means to be a thunder kitsune specifically, etc.
(T) 11/10 Day 2, I Am the Messenger of Death: (Kira + Dark!Kitsune) Today’s a day to explore Kira’s relationship to her fox spirit, specifically in the form of a dark arc! What does it mean to become the “Messenger of Death”? What might a dark arc look like for Kira? What is her experience of darkness? What does it mean for the fox to wield Kira? What happens to her if she never learns to control or balance the fox? (Today could also include an exploration of things such as nogitsune!Kira.)
(W) 11/11 Day 3, What if Wednesday: (Kira + “What if…?”) Today’s the day for missing scenes, pre/post-canon, Alternate Universes, fix-its, crossovers…any idea born of the question “What if…?” Let your imagination run wild with possibilities!
(TH) 11/12 Day 4, Be Noticed: (Kira Outsider POV) Today’s a day for any Outsider POV on Kira! How do other students in the school like Sydney view her? What about her friends or family? Beacon Hills teachers or parents? Other beings like the Skinwalkers? Villains like the Nogitsune or Dread Doctors? Or even someone we never met, like her old friends?
(F) 11/13 Day 5, Pass Their Test: (Kira + Skinwalkers/The Desert) This prompt explores Kira’s time in the desert with the Skinwalkers! Could include exploration of kitsune & skinwalker connection in Teen Wolf lore, the Skinwalkers’ Test and what it means, their relationship to Bardo, Kira’s relationship with the Skinwalkers, or even au’s like Kira staying forever/becoming a Skinwalker.
(S) 11/14 Day 6, You Make Friends (Or So I’ve Heard): (Kira + Minor Relationships/Characters) Today’s a day to explore Kira’s more minor relationships or explore possible connections with minor/supporting characters! For example, this could include:
Kira and...Mason, Dr. Deaton, Theo, Melissa, Liam, Lori, Coach, Allison, Satomi, Hayden, Josh, Isaac, Hikari, etc.
(Su) 11/15 Day 7, I’m Also Half-Korean: (Kira + Korean-American Culture/Heritage) As a mixed-race person, Kira is bound to have unique experiences informed by both cultures in her family. Given her being a kitsune and things like Ken taking Noshiko’s last name when married in Japan, her Japanese heritage bears a little more focus in the show. Today’s a day to explore what being Korean-American might mean to Kira! How connected is she to this part of her heritage? Does she ever learn the language? Are there Korean traditions or foods which are significant to her? Does Ken’s family live in America, Korea, or somewhere else? Does Kira ever wonder what it would mean for her to be a gumiho (e.g. in Teen Wolf, are the kitsune & gumiho legends about the same fox creature articulated differently, or are they actually different supernatural creatures?)
ALTERNATES
Alt 1, You Wield the Sword: (Kira + Weaponry, Skills, & Control) This prompt explores Kira handling weaponry (like her katana, nunchaku, or Allison’s crossbow), developing skills (such as kenjutsu or lacrosse) and more generally learning control (over her craft, her powers, her fox)! What does this mean in relation to the second half of the quote ‘but the fox wields you’? Explore both Kira’s usage of weaponry & skills and her existence as a weapon herself.
Alt 2, It’s Supposed to Trick You: (Trickster Spirit Kira) Notoriously, kitsune are trickster spirits. This prompt is to explore what that means and how it manifests for Kira! Shenanigans, tricks, pranks, jokes, even crime…today’s the day to explore Kira’s mischievous side and the trickster spirit within!
We look forward to seeing all your Kira creations! Be sure to check out our Participation page for more info, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions/concerns!
