I can't find anyone who has requests open, so here I am.
Can I please have a headcanon or scenario with Bi Han and Kuai Liang where he has a fem S/O childhood friend who is part of a powerful fox(Kitsune) clan? And she's basically Gojo Satoru, but fox, and had a habit of beating them up in any game in the childhood saying being like "Im the strongest!" and irritating the soul out of them. And when I say fox I mean cute ears and tail because in this house we like people with animal ears. Basically friends to enemies to lovers.
Thank you for the attention and drink water and eat healthy >:(
KUAI LIANG X F! KITSUNE READER PT. 1
Authors Note: Because I took literal years to finish this request, I've decided to split it into two parts so that I can write without feeling like my writing drastically changed midway through 😭. The full blown lovers part will be in the next section, sorry for the long wait! Didn't know which bro you wanted, so I ended up with endgame Kuai Liang because I haven't gotten a lot of asks for him! Also used this as an opportunity to try testing out what the Lin Kuei fam dynamic could've been like because they didn't give us enough.
CW: 2.7k words! Fluff, Reader has an ego, non-graphic descriptions of fighting
Hope you've all been well, and thank you anon for your words, you try to get good sleep and stay hydrated as well!

Grunting as his back came into contact with the ground, Bi-Han scowled as he went to push himself up again. Kuai Liang was still seated on the floor from when he had lost, huffing out a sigh while he looked at his brother rushing back into his sparring session. You grinned, canines on display as the taller boy rushed you. You had to admit, he was strong. Both of the Lin Kuei boys were, but neither of them seemed quite quick enough to catch you. You were light on your feet, and skillfully evaded every punch.
You had all agreed not to use your abilities during such simple sparring, as it was only a game, a way to pass time while your parents had a meeting and discussed whatever it was that heads of the clans took so long to talk about. Dropping low under Bi-Han's punch, you swiftly twisted your body and brought a leg up and around, the flat of your foot connecting with Bi-Han's arm as he had brought it up to block at the last moment. The hit made him stumble, and you took that opportunity to advance, lowering yourself to the ground again and swiping your leg out beneath him, sending the boy down onto his back.
His irritation was palpable as you laughed, putting your hands on your hips and puffing out your chest. "Don't be mad, Bi-Han. After all, I'm the strongest!" You boasted, white and gray tail swishing back and forth. If looks could kill, you were positive you would be six feet under and sent to the Netherrealm just because Bi-Han said so. His anger only made you more amused though, and he would've gotten up to come at you again if it wasn't for Kuai Liang putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Let's do something else, brother." Kuai Liang proposed, looking to you and then back at Bi-Han, a soft smile on his face in the hopes of calming down his brother. He moved to hold out a hand for Bi-Han, which the blue clad boy took after a long moment of silence.
"What do you suggest, Liang?" Bi-Han asked, running his hands over his clothes to dust them off. He still looked angry, but he seemed to calm his impulses at least with the help of his brother. Kuai Liang tilted his head in thought, silence stretching out as he tried to come up with something else for them to play.
"Tag?" You offered, only to be met with a disapproving look from both of them, which only served to make you snicker and look anywhere else but directly at them.
"How about-"
"A race!" You jumped in, making Bi-Han grumble something underneath his breath and shake his head. Kuai Liang paused mid sentence and took in a steadying breath.
"I was going to say we could stop playing games and just go swim in the river."
Your ears pressed down slightly as your face scrunched up, "Swim in the river?" You repeated, shifting your weight from one foot to the other a few times.
It was Bi-Han's turn to smile then, a mischievous glint to him as his brows furrowed closer together, "What? Dont tell me the fox is afraid of a little water." His tone was teasing, earning a look from Kuai Liang that wasn't quite exasperation but you didn't know what else to deem it as. His eyebrows raised up slightly as he looked at Bi-Han, gently pushing his shoulder with his hand.
"Bi-Han!" Kuai Liang tried to reprimand.
"I am not afraid of water!" You crossed your arms over your chest, "It just didn't seem like something you guys would want to do."
Bi-Han only let out a small hum in response, still clearly amused at the notion that you might be afraid of water. Or maybe you couldn't even swim? So much for being the strongest then, right?
Now Kuai Liang had started to grow annoyed as well. To Bi-Han's displeasure you were actually quite adept at swimming, and to Kuai Liang, you were almost too good. You had convinced them to do a race in the water, and of course you had won that as well. Your fun was cut short when their mother had shown up.
"Kuai Liang, Bi-Han.." She paused when she took in the drenched state of her two sons, stifling a laugh as they quickly rushed out of the water to greet her, you not too far behind. "It is time for us to leave, though I guess we'll need to grab some towels." She reached a hand out to run through Bi-Han's wet hair, smiling at the grumpy look he sported as he looked up at her and moved an arm up to gently redirect her hand from atop his head.
Clambering out of the water quite unceremoniously, you shook your head to get as much water off of your ears and hair as you could before walking up to them. Their mother looked at you with amusement in her gaze, and you thought that Kuai Liang got a lot of his looks from her, yet she exuded such confidence even when relaxed that she reminded you more of Bi-Han. "Come on then." She turned and began to walk back to your family's compound, the three of you following behind her graceful form. "Did you all have fun?" She questioned, glancing over her shoulder.
"No." Bi-Han stated before Kuai Liang could open his mouth, "But, I did get more reasons to continue to try hard in my training." He finished, looking over at his brother as if waiting for him to agree.
"Well, that is good." The woman smiled, though this time it seemed a little more sad. You wondered why, but you didn't have it in you to ask about it. Even if you really wanted to.
"I had fun." Kuai Liang started to say, promptly turning to look at you to ignore the side eye that Bi-Han sent in his direction. You smiled at him, and he smiled back. Their mother glanced back at you both again, and she smiled before looking forward again.
"You boys can tell me all about it once we get home. I hope they didn't cause you any trouble?" She addressed you with the question, and you grinned as you shook your head, then remembered she wasn't looking at you so she couldn't tell.
"Cause me trouble? If anything, I caused them all the trouble." You huffed, and then immediately your ears flattened against your head as the woman briefly glanced over her shoulder at you. You couldn't tell if the look in her eyes was angry, stern, or what. Though you had met and played with Bi-Han and Kuai Liang a handful of times before, you never really met their parents except for a brief introduction before. You were caught off guard by what you could only label as hostility.
Bi-Han scoffed, eyebrows raising as he rose a finger to point at you, "You-"
"Bi-Han, Kuai Liang."
The deeper voice drew all of your attention, and you watched Bi-Han straighten even more than he already was, so did Kuai Liang. You peeked out from behind their mother, taking in the look of the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster. He looked a lot like Bi-Han to you. "Father." Kuai Liang greeted with a smile, you could tell he was holding back the urge to run over and hug him.
The man smiled back, and shifted his gaze from Kuai Liang, to his wife, and then to Bi-Han. "Time for us to go."
While Bi-Han walked over to meet his father without saying a word, Kuai Liang turned to look at you, kind smile still on his face. "See you another time?" He asked, head tilting a little.
You grinned and nodded, reaching out to gently push at his shoulder, "Yeah, so I can beat you again." You joked. It pulled a small laugh from him this time, and he shook his head.
"When we next meet, I will win."
--
"My Lady."
Turning your head, you nodded slightly to address your handmaiden, urging her to continue.
"Scorpion is here to meet with you."
Your brows furrowed, "Scorpion?" You wracked your brain for who that might be, until you remembered reading about it in a letter almost a decade ago now. "Kuai Liang." You stated, though it was supposed to be a question, an ask for confirmation. The older woman nodded, and you got up from the spot where you had been seated.
You were a little embarrassed to notice the pep in your step as you walked through the courtyard and towards the entrance of your clan's compound, but what could you say? It'd been almost two decades since you had last seen Kuai Liang or Bi-Han, you never knew why, and you'd missed them dearly.
Standing beneath the arches, Kuai Liang stood with another man by his side, with grey hair and clad in black. The lower halves of their faces were hidden by masks, but you could see Kuai Liang's brows unfurrow as he saw you approach.
"Kuai Liang." You started, walking up to him whilst looking him over, not missing the way the other man seemed shocked at your appearance. Raising a fist, you punched your old friend in the shoulder, it wasn't a hard one, but it was firm. "Where the hell have-" you paused, taking notice of the tattoo that ran over his left shoulder. "Makes sense." You huffed, amused. Kuai Liang's warm eyes shifted towards his arm before looking back at you, and you could tell he had smiled even with the mask with the slight crinkle in the corner of his eyes.
His voice was smooth as he said your name, and you could feel a flutter in your stomach at how nice it sounded. Your tail swished, and you willed the feeling away as you slightly raised your eyebrows, expecting him to continue. "This is my younger brother, Tomas." He gestured with a hand towards the man beside him, whose eyes turned from a little confused to excited at being introduced. He reminded you of a puppy, despite his stature, though you could sense he wasn't always as nice as he let on. You had no doubt, he was also a skilled fighter. "Tomas-" You started, introducing yourself in return, "Younger brother? I've not met you before."
"I'm..adopted." Your eyes followed each minute movement, the way his gaze dropped for a moment, a sadness in his eyes that you did not hope to ever feel yourself, and also indignation. Interesting.
"Adoption makes you no less. It makes the skill you achieve even more impressive, because you started later than all the rest." You grinned, "I don't know many who use the karambit, you must be good at what you do." Your praise seemed to brighten his spirits. Offering a smile, you could see him match it with his eyes before your attention returned to Kuai Liang. "What have you come for?"
You could feel the energy completely switch as Kuai Liang crossed his arms over his chest, "It is almost time for the Lin Kuei to begin gathering Earth's champions, I would like for you to aid us. Or rather, for you to help train them." His voice was stern, commanding, and you noticed then just how much the boy from your childhood had grown. You'd heard of the passing of their father, and how Bi-Han was now the Grandmaster, but you didn't quite realize just how much that shift in roles and responsibility would change them.
Sure, you yourself were now the leader of your Clan, but your personality only changed slightly, your supposed seriousness was more of a front. "Me? Help gather and train the champions?" You smirked, "Bi-Han agreed to this?" Kuai Liang shifted on his feet, looking down at you with a knowing look.
"My brother does not let his ego get in the way of duty. It was really his idea, I was made to come propose the offer to you because he is busy."
"Busy, or couldn't be bothered. All the same to him, I'm sure." Amusement not leaving your face, you turned away from them, beckoning them to follow you with a wave of your hand. You missed the way Tomas sent a glance in Kuai Liang's direction, as if surprised by how easily you spoke of their older brother.
You led them nowhere in particular, simply strolling through the compound whilst you caught up on lost time. Kuai Liang told you of the champions they were meant to gather, how Tomas joined the clan shortly after your last meeting (though he spared the details as to why), and of his wish to strengthen the bond between your clans. As they had been in the past.
"We have long been separated, it would do us well to be stronger together once more." Were his exact words. You agreed whole-heartedly. If you were honest with yourself, you didn't quite realize just how much you missed Kuai Liang until he was standing at your side. This became even more apparent when they were about to depart, he stayed behind for a moment, looking down at you with a weight behind his gaze that made your heart quicken.
Reaching a hand up, Kuai Liang pulled his mask down so you could see his full face. "Do not forget the date you must meet us." He smiled slightly, and you briefly thought that he was perhaps a perfect mix of his parents.
"Me? Forget? Kuai Liang, you underestimate me." You grinned, showing off the canines that had sharpened since when you were a child. "I will be there, and tell Bi-Han we must all spar again. After all, you told me you would win, and I am sure he wants to redeem himself after all these years." You joked, and Kuai Liang chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.
He spared a glance towards Tomas, who waited patiently with his back against a pillar, before looking back at you. "Do not be surprised if you lose, we are both far more skilled than when we last met."
"As am I."
--
"She is still just as arrogant as when we were kids." Kuai Liang recalled when he was back in the Lin Kuei compound, sitting across from his brother whilst the older read over letters and documents.
Bi-Han let out a huff through his nose, amused, as he turned a paper over to read the other side. "I expected no less. I have always been sure her conceit would only grow with time."
"You are one to talk, brother."
Kuai Liang struggled to hide his smile when Bi-Han looked up from the parchment, leveling him with an icy glare that would normally spark obedience in any he aimed it at, though only served to humor Kuai Liang.
"You are in a good mood, do not tell me you are still enamored by her." The Grandmaster sighed, putting the paper into one of the piles on his desk before picking up another. "And do not lie to me, even mother knew you were drawn to her." Bi-Han spoke rather fondly when regarding their mother, a focused yet emotionally distant look in his eyes before he continued his work.
Kuai Liang was at a loss for words, mostly because he never expected Bi-Han to call him out, but also because he really did still like you, even after all these years. Seeing you again, talking with you, it felt like old times. Except you were older now, and your beauty had drawn him in like a siren song that he could not ignore. He was excited to see your skill in kombat, how much it had improved since last he had seen it.
"If you are just going to take space, leave. You are blind to your own feelings." Bi-Han's voice cut through his thoughts, making Kuai Liang look back at his brother quickly. He looked at Kuai Liang with a slightly annoyed expression, his eyes shifting from Kuai Liang to the door behind him, a clear sign to leave him to his work.
Standing from the seat, Kuai Liang let out a small sigh of, "Yes, brother." Whilst pushing his chair back in. Leaving his brother's office, he decided he should go find Tomas, more would need to be discussed before your arrival.
