"you were great!" Kiffin exclaimed as they both steped away from the control pannel.  "hehe your gunna make a great pilot!"  Kiffin ruffled the smaller ana's hair with an ear.
Really momma?"  Layla Giggled
"uh hu!  now lets get you washed up"  Kiffin smiled back and pushed Layla along.  Layla took the hint and bound off toward the bath section.  Kiffin padded along at a normal pace grabing some towles from a low drawr, carryin them on her head with her ears expertly.  Layla was in the room pressing on the shining wall pannel symbols that controlled the bath.   The water quickly started flowing down the faux rocks that lined the back of the small pool.  As Layla slid her hand down from top to bottem, the water became heated and a bit of steam filled the room quickly blocking out the stars shining through the roofs domed window.    Layla smiled at six she was getting very good at manuplating things with her hands as well as her ears and her acomplishment gave her a little pride.  This kept her busy while Kiffin softly set the towels down on a shelf and snuck up behind her daughter lifting her butt diaper and all pushing her over the smalish rock lip and into the filling pool.
"Momma....now my nappy is ruined"  Layla pouted, she dident need the diaper normally but this was her first heat and Kiffin had yet to really teach her any control.  Somthing she planed to remidy soon.  She was as well and it was getting harder to ignore.
"Nah kitten hehe.  Its just pre washed,  Leme help you"  Kiffin tugged on her own nessary diaper expertly unbutiong it with her ears and hopping deftly over the small wall, landing on all fours in the now warm water.  Layla bussyed herself trying to tugg at the tight buttons over and beside her tail.  A struggle which Kiffin quickly ended tossing the soaked cloth over the rock railing.  Layla tryed to act unembarised still not really usto the feeling she got now when seeing others naked.  "Comere you!"  Kiffin took the opertunity to dunk the thoughtfull shuna under the water splashing and getting her all wet.
Layla splashed back "Ahh momma!"   Kiffin grabed some soap while her ana shook herself off comming back swiftly with soap in ears and began oozing the cold soap along her mane and back, making Layla shiver.  Kiffin purred scrubbing her daughters head with her ears bubbling the liquid soap till Laylas blue fur was white and orange with suds.  Layla started to purr as well at the scritches warm water and suds forming circles around her four paws below.
Kiffin Hummed a shuna luliby "close your eyes now kitten"  kiffin stood and used her hands to rub the soap around little Laylas cheeks and nose getting her muzzlefur clean as the rest of her.  Kiffin squshed Layla's cheeks "cuuuute ana" Kiff giggled droping back down cupping some water in her ears starting to rinse clean the bubbly soap.  To which Layla giggled and shook.  "turn over now" Layla obeyed rolling over in the water with her muzzle just sticking up over the waterline.  Kiffin went about cleaning the younger shunas chest and under developed udder while sitting back on her haunches to more easly reach the small fluff.  Finally Kiff leaned in and nuzzled Laylas neck while her hand moved to clean her sensitive mound.  "Good ana"  This was a move she imedatly regretted, the intimate action arosing her male side.  Laylas ticklish giggles turned into soft purrs and he held onto her mother.   Kiffin left her hand there a little longer than she knew she should rubbing soap around her Layla's small tail budd as well, finally giving a nip to her soft neck letting her up.  
Kiffin staired at the water hoping her insite stiffy would go away.  The water around them slowly swirled cleared as the filtration did its work.  Layla kissed her moms cheek snaping Kiffin out of her self centered stair.  "aww what was that for?"  Kiff earblushed
"I dono momma, it just felt like i should."  Kiffin kissed her daughter back giving her ear a nip as well.  
"good girl" Kiffin praised, knowing praising even for the little right things, like not going imeadly for the privates, durring heat mattered.  Well thats what she read anyway.  Her own mother was not able to be around durring her own first heat.  She poured soap down and over her mane to which Layla quickly stood to help rub in with her hands.  Kiffin gave a small suprized squeek as her eyes were squinted from all the soap.  But quickly aquiesed to her daughters touch purring and leaning into the rubbing.    Kiffin began to whimper louldly "y..your not bad at that kitten."  Kiffin held her ears up for her daughters scrubbing "have you thought about what you want to be someday kitten?" hoping the change in subject would lessen her own excitment.
"I-I'm not sure yet mommy" Layla said trying to scoop up some water with her smaller ears but most falls back to the pool, only a dribble rinsing the soap off her mother. 
"Try again Little one"  Kiffin tryed squinting out of her soapy muzzle.  Layla cheeted this time while she thought her mother could not see her.  Using her hands to hold her ears pooring the water down over her mane and back.  "Smart girl"  Kiffin giggled while layla finished rinsing her.  Kiffin shook the excess water off, her long main flopping in place,  this made Layla shake too.  Both giggled and Kiffin sat to start to clean her tummy and udder.  She had managed to get her boyish member back inside.
"want me to help momma?"  Layla asked
"If you like kitten." Kiffin answered hoping it would be a teaching oppertunity in control.  Also thinking she needed lessons to.   She layed back in the water as her kitten had done.  Layla was suprizingly behaved rubbing some soap into Kiffins swolen mound with her ears.  Eyes focused though on Kiffs again waking member.  Kiffin purred for a moment before putting her paws over her member and erffed "n..not yet" she mumbled mostly to herself while she blushed.
"Why not momma" Layla kept washing around Kiffins mound and her tail, Kiffin was doing her best to keep in any pleasured whimpers.  Not sure wether to encourage or discourage. Finally Kiffin whined out louldly unable to hide her large shuna member now.  Layla giggled looking over it while washing Kiffins thys.  
"M-momma do you want me to clean your pee pee too?"  Kiffin shook her head vigurisousally 
"I... its clean kitten... I.. its been inside me" She whimpered "It.. its ok mew"
"Are you sure momma?" Layla giggled poking it with a soft ear. Kiffin squealed happly at 
"yes yes yes kitten, im sure" Kiffin panted a bit getting up and shaking off member and udder dangling under her.
"Okay momma" Layla huged her still standing.
"mmmmrflgahrfffff oh kitten" Kiffin turned to kiss her daughters head.  "I  love you lil one"  Even at sixteen she wasent sure what to do...  She knew what boys expected of her.   But a trusting daughter watching her every move...   how would she teach her.
"I love you too momma...and are you alright"   
"im fine kitten,  just happy you like me" she said honestly.
"Why wouldn't I like you...your my momma"  Layla snuggled into her mom sliding her tail knowingly over her mothers excited slit
"kitten cut that out" Kiff giggled. "lets get your playful butt diapered"  Kiffin looked up while she steped out of the bath. "looks like we're here." 
"Okay momma"
"grab a towel mew "  Kiffin says throwing her a towel.  "look up kitten" Kiffin sat stairing at the clearing window.
"What is it momma?"  There was a purple tinted planet slowly turning into view above them. 
"Thats Hush"
"Momma your home is pretty"
"Its your home to"
"But I have never been here  momma" Layla said a bit confused while finishing up drying her fur. 
"Its where all shuna come from" Kiffin continues while diapering her kitten.
"Okay momma"  Lalya stated standing and wiggling her diapered butt.  Kiffin pulled out a night outfit for daughter to put on as well.  the silk slid easly over her Laylas soft fur.
"momma....I thought people on Hush didn't want you here momma?"  Layla asked while Kiffin took care of her own padding.
"well they just don need to know im there now do they"  Kiffin smiled back.  "We will head there tomarow.  But in the meantime i picked somthing up for you while you were sleeping yesterday." She handed her daughter a small card a bit thicker than a credit card, a small glowing crystal glowed in one corner. "Keep this on your person... and never loose it" Kiffin looked stern "Its even more important than your mobi."
"What is it momma?"
"its your Assendant ID card...   it will open doors for you on Hush.  If you lose it, we could have a problem."  Kiffin grabed a hypo needle from the same pack stabbing it quickly into her own sholder. "and now i should be ok for a while too"
"What was that for momma?" 
"Crimson, kitten"  Kiffin replyed heasently and flatly
"What is that momma?"
"go on to the nest and I want to teach you something, ill be there in a little bit"  Kiffin finished up getting her own night things on while Layla ran to the other room climbing into the soft padded nest.
After a short while Kiffin came in carrying a large book in both ears in front of her with some defrance.  Layla had never seen a book of paper before and looked wide eyed.  Kiffin set the book down between them on nest.  The front of the book was heavely decrated in symbols guilded in titanium ."This was my family's Codex."  Kiffin started   "In Basic its the Codex of Light.  Where we all came from"
"Its a pretty momma."
"uh hu" She opened the book to the first few pages where the story was illistrated.  "see along time ago der was a god, Aden and his brother Hush."  Layla scooted closer to look at the book laying on her mom and listening. "Now Hush was jealous of his older brothers creative powers.  He had created much of the life on our planet.  including us."  Kiffin fuzzled her daughters mane to which Layla giggled attention focused on the book and the elabrate pictures.  "So Hush worked hard as well to create the oceans and the mountains."  Kiffin showed and traced the pictures with her hand"They were very good. but they caused storms to swell over the planet."
"Mommy its so pretty"
"And this made Aden mad.   And he went to see his father, Adar.  see here"   Kiffin pointed to a picture of the sun. "that's where the gods live.  and why ours is called Adar"
"So... " Kiffin lowered her voice. "While he was away Hush grew so annoyed that what his brother made clashed so much with his.  So he made a plan.  And he tried over and over again to create life,  one that would rival his brothers creation."
"I like this story momma"
"Aww thank you.  You don't gotta believe it... but I think it really happened." Kiffin adjusted to bet more comfortable  "now.  All his creations were amazing, and they are now the animals that roam the land and the sea.  But none could rival his brothers creation.  Then BANG!  His browther Aden and Father Adar returned from the star.  And they looked around as and saw his creatures.
"What did think of his creations momma?"
"Well his father looked down and complemented them both for their creative powers."
"But what about his brother?"
"This made Hush mad.  He wanted to be the best.  Just not good enough.  So he told the meaner of his creations to attack."  Little Layla Gasped  "so Adar gave Adens creation, the shuna, intelligence.  So that they could fight back.  Over the years the Shunamir gained the upper hand."  Kiffin turned the page   "Finally Adar put a stop to their fighting by creating the amir"  Kiffin blushed a little "like me.  Back then you see,  the Amir could talk to the creatures ... and they were able to calm them down."
"Can you still do that momma?"  Kiffin just shook her head continuing to tell the story "you see after this Hush started to slash at all the mountains cutting off all their tops in anger!  And now Adar had had enough.  He would not see creation destroyed beacuse of his son.   He sealed Hush in the center of the planet....   and ... hes still there today..."
"Momma what if someone found Hush?"
No ones ever been able to dig that far kitten I giggle they don't even mine asteroids that deep.  And besides theres molten lava along time before his cage.   But you see...  hes always showing us hes still there..  after he was sealed away...   Crimson started to show up all over the planet after he was sealed.   It took away the Amir's ability to talk with the creatures.  Though some really pure are said to still be able to, like the Ashunamir, our leader.  Its also why crimson only goes after us Amir and why you and ashu are immune."  Kiffin smiled hopefully  "But.   Aden and Adar before they left made a promise.   That one day the Amir would be restored to their place and that all Shunamir would again be a shining light in the heavens.   But this would only come after we had defeated Hushe's Avatar."  Kiffin looked out the window.  "Many of us believe that Hush brought the Vanduul to our doorstep ... calling them across space.  And that we will be free if we find and defeat them. " 
"Momma. I am getting sleepy" Layla yawned
"me to sweetie ... we will just stay in orbit for now.  But that's our history... Yours and mine and all Shu Na and Mir.  And when its our time to go...  Adar will make us our own star...   where we can be with our loved ones."
"I like it momma its a good story"
"Its why I say no matter where you are Little Star... you'll always be watched over by a loved one."  Layla nessled close to sleep "Good night Little Star"  Kiffin kissed her head and closed the book.
