Hey everyone! Again, another awaited chapter of Children of the Sun. Tamika Kamishi, Daughter of Inari and current Daitōryō of the Camp goes over her due plans through the camp as leader and proceeds to do her daily schedule of not letting the deities down, pleasing others, and just being the kind and quiet person she is.

Daitōryō: President. Formal use: Tamika-Daitoryō.

1st Plan: Get ready and feed the Kitsune

"Onēsan, please wake up." Kit nudged his master. "Is it here? Is it sunrise?" Kit sighed, turning in his human form. Running a finger through his russet red hair, he took one good glance at Tamika. "Inari-Kami, please forgive me for what I am about to do." He whispered. "TAMIKA, AMATERASU HAS COME OUT!" And that did the trick. Tamika sprang to life, yelling and cursing in Japanese.

Until she finally came to realize that Amaterasu wasn't in the room. Kit laughed quietly, while Tamika turned around with a dark look on her face. "Oh..gomen.." Kit backed up against the wall. And he was blocked. Tamika rose her hand and suddenly the world stopped to witness what was going on-

Slap!

And Yuka wondered why her mate had a hand print evident on his face. "Ugh..ah well, I had better get up now.." Tamika yawned and prepared to cook breakfast for the rest of the Kitsune.

Pouring twelve helpings of rice, noodles, and shrimp in three red bowls, Tamika and the rest of the children of Inari proceeded to feed each of their Kitsune.

"Isazura! Don't eat Anko's helping!" Tamika noticed the cream colored fox climbed on the table, eating her younger brother's breakfast. Tamika promised to feed the newly turned 100 Kitsune some of Hikaru's food, which the latter was happy to share.

With all of the children and Kitsune fed, Tamika felt as if she still wasn't ready to eat. "Tamika, what's the matter?" Another one of the children, Koizumi, asked her sister. "Nothing, Koizumi." Koizumi might've been the youngest, but she was smart as well. "Tamika, my Kitsune hate liars..." The latter chided. Two of her Kitsune, Yami and Hikaru, stood on each side.

"Well, what if the festival goes all wrong?!" Tamika frowned. Koizumi smiled. "I assure you, Onee-sama, nothing will go wrong! You're, by far, the best Daitōryo ever!" All of the others agreed as well, and Tamika was happy to see that all of her brothers and sisters came to her aid to reassure her. "Arigāto minna(1)." She smiled as all of them came to hug her, and even the Kitsune came to join in too.

2nd Plan: Visit other campers and wish good luck by giving them each a Omamori(2).

Tamika entered Yuki's Cabin, in which she had to wear three coats and one overcoat to keep herself warm. Kouri came out, wearing nothing but a powder blue lace shirt with matching knee-length pants.

"H-how c-can y-y-you s-stay w-w-a-arm in h-h-e-r-r-ee?!" She hissed out. "Pshh..this is nothing compared to Sapporo!" Kouri said. "An-y-w-w-ay, h-h-ere's a-a O-omam-o-r-i..." She shakily handed her the amulet.

"Arigato, Tamika-Daitōryo!" Kouri waved as the 14 year old ran out to the Inari cabin to rid of the many coats she had on.

3rd Plan: Pray for Amaterasu, her daughter Hotaru, and her grandchild Kohaku(who is actually your younger cousin)

The 27 year old held her 1 year old daughter while feeding her some small peaches. "Well, Inari says thank you and blesses you with this package of rice, tea, and Sake(3)." Hotaru smiled, and then was confused. "Sake? But I just birthed three days ago. Sake's not on my diet until next week." Tamika slumped her shoulders and bowed awkwardly.

"Gomen.." Tamika sniffled. "It's quite alright, Tamika-chan. Everyone makes mistakes every now and then."

"And speaking of Sake, isn't your Sake ceremony today?" Hotaru asked, feeding Kohaku some peaches.

What.

And Hotaru was sure that she could hear Inari trying to shove some Sake down his daughter's throat. Oh well, maybe it was something else in her mind.

4th Plan: Pray for Madoka, because Amaterasu isn't coming out anytime soon. (And she's your aunt)

"Inari blesses you with this package of rice, tea, and Sake."

Madoka nodded and took the package. Her Kitsune, who Tamika couldn't tell was a girl or boy, sniffed the package and nodded too.

"Arigato." With that, Madoka dismissed her niece and Tamika walked out rather awkwardly.

5th plan: Go to your father and ask for more bags of rice and tea.

"Chichi-ue!(4)" Tamika smiled and her father nodded.

"Did you get a good sleep last night?" She nodded.

Shiro barked and pawed at the ground. "Ask him." The fox said.

Inari turned around and frowned.

"Gomen, chichi-ue. May I have some rice and tea?"

Inari proceeded to get a horse and bring twelve bags of tea and rice to the Inari cabin.

"Daisuki(5) chichi-ue!" All of the children hugged Inari tightly. "Arigato, my children." Some of the 14 year olds looked up in sheer confusion. "

"Uh, chichi-ue, we were adults when we turned 13(6)."

6th Plan: Go back to the Cabin, put on your yukata, and rest.

Tamika sat with the rest of her older siblings, while her head was buried in the fur of Yuka. The rest of the younger children either practiced geisha dances, did their sister's hair, or for the sons, sparred outside with their Kitsune and other brothers. Until a 11 year old daughter named Hana, came out crying while a large cut was on her palm.

"Kaito-kun cut me with his Katana!" She hiccuped, her pastel pink yukata being stained red with blood.

One of the older children, Nezumi, sat her down in her lap. bandaging the cut while she called in Kaito to apologize.

Nope. Not yet.

7th Plan: Everyone else in bed, so it's time to sleep.

"Oyasumi minna(7)! Daisuki!" Nezumi, the second-eldest sibling, started off.

"Daisuki Nezumi!" Hana said.

"Daisuki Hana!" Nezumi called back.

"Daisuki Kaito-kun!" Hana called.

"Daisuki Hana! Gomen!" Kaito called. Hana returned the apology.

Everyone then started to say goodnight to one other.

"Daisuki Tamika!" Everyone said at last.

"Daisuki minna." She said quietly, but loud enough for everyone to hear. Then the whole camp was quiet.

This is a bonus chapter before the actual festival. I decided to come up with it before starting the one-shots back up again. So, Blitzy-Chan, I hope I did your OC good, since she is a overall good OC! Translations:

(1)-Meaning: Thank you everyone

(2)-Meaning: A amulet used for good luck in Japan for specific reasons each.

(3)-Meaning: A type of alcoholic drink used at formal ceremonies. Either used when a girl is coming of age, handling her duties properly, etc.

(4)-Meaning: Father, formal.

(5)-Meaning: I love you/we love you

(6)-Meaning: In Japan, the age of consent is 13. So you're literally a adult when you're 13.

(7)-Meaning: Good night everyone

Also, if any of you are planning on making a daughter/son of Inari, make the names nature/animal related. Tamika is a exception, as her name means people, but Inari is a god/goddess/god in this story of the people, so it makes sense. Also since she's the president of camp.

Examples:

Kaito-Maple

Hana-Flower

Nezumi-Mouse

Koizumi-Little spring/fountain
