The next morning, Shiro woke up surrounded by her new family. Through her grogy memory, she remembered her new Okaa-sama saying somthing about how since they lived and learned together, why not sleep together? It felt weird for someone to call her a HER instead of an IT. At least she knew that she was Female.
For Shiro, it seemed, this must have been a dream. There was no way this could be real. For six kind, sweet people to take her in and say they loved her? This had to be a cruel genjutsu that the villagers had set up. They would let her have this taste of happiness and then they will relase her from the genjutsu and crush her happiness. That was always how it worked.
Another person woke up. It was the woman who had hugged her last night. Her new Okaa-sama, Nanali Kurosaki.
"Good morrning Shiro-chan. How long have you been up?" she asked kindly.
"Ohayo-gozaimasu Okaa-sama." Shiro replied formaly, even going so far as to bow.
The beautiful woman before Shiro frowned and Shiro wondered what she'd done to make her unhappy.
"Shiro, there's no need to be so formal with me. I'm your mother, and I just want you to grow up into a fine Lady. Ok?"
"Hai, Okaa-sam- er, -san." responded Shiro, who was a bit happier now, and flashed her mother a small smile.
This seemed to please her, because she picked up the young Shiro snd brought her out towards the living room.
"Shiro, I'm going to give you your first lesson on the history and physics of Magic today." Nanali smiled. She liked seeing Shiro smile. (AN: Get ready for a long explination.) "You see, Magic, or the long term, Magisertia exterciamagum, is founded on the belife that if we had the desire and the need, that we could control the elements. This was found to be true so long as we respected and gave thanks to such element. Jutsu that ninja use are a lesser, more crude using of Magic, and takes a toll on their bodies because of their lack of gratitude to the elements upon which they call.
"The elements that are currently known, are Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. The lesser elements, or the combination elements, as they are called, are wood, metal, magma, storm, and ice. In order to give thanks to an element, you must know which god is responsible for said element and give tribute to them. The gods are Vulcanus of Fire, Nymphadora of Water, Mab of the Faeiries of Earth, and Kami of the Wind. When using a combination element, you must pay tribute to all gods involved. For example, Wood is a combination of Earth and Water, there for you would pay tribute to both Nympadora and Mab. The tribute is merly a simple offering and in no way a big deal. Merely a burning of insence and a short prayer and chant will do.
"The same goes for your food. Whenever an animal is slaughtered, you waste none of it and you offer a prayer to the diety of that animal. Such as the God of Foxes and Rice, Inari. Everytime you eat rice, or harm a fox, you offer up a prayer. If you happen to harm any animal, you must care for it as well. Understand?"
Shiro's eyes widened as he took in all of the information. He nodded and looked up hopefully, "Ummm... Okaa-san, will you please tell me more? Please?"
Nanali's smile widened. She was glad that Shiro wanted to learn so badly. It was a nice thing. "Of cou-"
A door opened. "NO FAIR!!! I called dibs on teaching Shiro-chan first! Meanie!" pouted Yuuki.
"A-ano, Yuuki-nee-san, i-if yo-o-ou want, y-you c-can t-t-teach me a-ab-about the a-animal d-d-deities..." Shiro said to placate her older sister.
Yuuki's eyes took on a gleam, "Did you hear that?! He called me 'Yuuki-nee-san'! I'm so proud of our little Shiro-chan!" she shouted as she rushed forward to hug Shiro.
All of the other women, minus Nanali, crowded around Shiro to hear her say their name. Shiro however, looked like a deer caught in the head lights as she said their names one by one. Each girl squealing when her cute, petite voice said their name.
"The next few years are going to be hell for my poor little daughter. I guess I'm just going to have to teach her to be strong, ne?" Nanali thought to herself as she pulled Shiro from the mass of bodies.

OMAKE 1:
Shiro: Zakuro-nee-san, what did Yuuki-nee-san mean when she talked about how a Male and Female get together to make a baby Male or Female?
Zakuro: Uhhhhhh..... It's called sex, but you should ask Miko, she'll tell you Ok?
Shiro: Nee-san, why don't you tell me? Why are you blushing?
Zakuro: Uhhhhh....... Because Miko knows more than I do, and because it's hot in here?
Shiro: Oh, Ok. Bye bye Nee-san.
Zakuro: Bye. *Whew. Crisis averted.*
Next time is Miko.
