A nice one-off Murana and Kyra story image. This, obviously, takes place well after any and all other pictures in their collection/story. Probably near the end if not past it. So don't consider it part of the current storyline of their friendship/relationship together but more like a nice epilogue.

---

Kyra was giddy with excitement. Her best friend had a baby and she was going to be an auntie! Despite their long and winding history as friends and lovers, Kyra still adored Murana deeply and was extremely eager to see the new addition to the family. The little bundle of grey and red was a surprise, but it didn't matter. It was Murana's baby and she was going to snuggle and hug that little tyke to kingdom come. She didn't let it show much, but she loved kids and to live vicariously through Murana's brood was an inner delight.

"She is just so adorable!" Kyra squealed as she gently, but firmly took Taylor out of Murana's arms. Murana seemed a bit nervous in letting her go, but trusted Kyra enough to hold her. "Wow, when you said she had some unusual features, I didn't think her fur would be this vibrant! It's actually quite beautiful!"

"Well, um... that's actually not what I meant when I said unusual." Murana was definitely looking worried, but Kyra couldn't really pay attention. Her sole focus was on the little cub in her arms.

"She's just the most amazing little wolf that I ever did see!" Kyra was cooing and completely acting not herself.

Murana had to pause a moment and just stare at Kyra. "Who are you and what have you done with my friend?"

Kyra glanced up with an irritated look. "Oh stop, I'm just in love with your little bundle here. She's like a miniature you. It's cute!"

Just then, Taylor began to fuss. She had sensed something was not right and she was not in her mother's arms. She began to whine and cry. A large bulge at her backside began to writhe and wriggle its way out of the swaddling blanket and rise up, a small mouth opening at its tip with tiny nubs for teeth.

It was then Kyra noticed the alarming feature. "Whoa, what the hell is that?!"

"Well, that's... um, that's the unusual feature I wanted to talk to you about." Murana was sheepish. A quality she was not known for.

"Is that a mouth in its tail? Why does it look like it's going to bite me?" Kyra tried to shy away from the rising malice of the maw, not realizing how uncomfortable she was making it for Taylor in her arms.

"Maybe you should not grip her underside like that." Murana suggested. "It looks like you're agitating the tail."

"It's alive?" Kyra was stunned. Just then the maw swooped in and took a honking chunk of breast in its maw, the teeth pricking just so painfully but not quite puncturing. "Ahh!!! It bit my boob! Get it off, get it off!!!"

Taylor was in full on wail now, struggling against the bonds of her blanket. Murana swiftly took her child into her arms and began to rock it. Taylor slowly died down in fervor as the maw released its hold on Kyra's breast. The kangaroo massaged her sore skin as she took a few steps back from the mother and child duo.

"Is she all right?" Kyra asked.

"Other than the tail? She's quite healthy." Murana tried her best to smile thorugh the embarrassment. She probably hadn't meant for her cub to take a bite out of her best friend. "The doctors don't understand it either. I'm still trying to learn to live with it. It's very hard - a trial every day."

"You're a stronger mom than I would be. I don't know what I'd do if I had a child with a tail like this!" Kyra admitted.

"Did you still want to be auntie to her?" Murana looked hopeful.

"For you? Of course!" She looked cautiously down at the yawning tailmaw. "But maybe I better keep my distance from now on. One close encounter was enough."
