In the following months to come, Kuzunoha nearing the end of her pregnancy would remain in her form as she gave birth to a daughter. She would bear the same looks as her mother in which she would gain the name Chiasa and ultimately have the same abilities and powers that Kuzunoha has. Abe No Yasuna would live a quiet life with his wife raising his son and daughter together. The world would never know this carefully guarded secret of the family.

Abe No Seimei would bear some popularity as a demi god and sorcerer. Sometime during the beginning of the 19th century, the family would be discovered by the Coalition of Deities. Kuzunoha, Abe No Seimei, and Chiasa (Once the children reached of age) would all join the vast group of mythics and providing the help they could to make the unity better. Of course Kuzunoha would never leave her husband's side until he finally passed away much later on. Much like what the group beholds, mythics from all walks of life and cultures makes the Coalition stronger and more resilient against the throws of politics and human development as humanity continues on into the 20th and 21st century. Kuzunoha would even sometimes fight alongside with her daughter in important missions together.

There is speculation that the Yuki family, a vast family of rats that can bear children with humans, may have something to do with Abe No Seimei. According to the rat princess's story, she would find a human sorcerer that would transform her to the form she is now. This coincides around the time period that Abe No Seimei was in Japan learning his magical abilities. While he remains quiet on this subject, if it were true then there would be another lasting legacy (for better or possibly worse) of the kitsune fox and the family. Chiasa would also live a life as a kitsune using her magic and acquired abilities in combat and as an enforcer. She would also find human men during her lifetime to be with and possibly even have children of her own.

There is an actual shrine dedicated to Kuzunoha. It is known as the Kuzunoha Inari Shrine located in the Izumi Province of Japan. In the shrine it consists of this popular story of the kitsune fox that met her savior and had a family with him. In Tales of Heroes, Kuzunoha in her human form would regularly visit the shrine and pray not to herself but to her former husband that had longed since passed on. On the shrine the poem is still etched that was left behind for her son that she sometimes reads quietly to herself. As time continues another tail grows on her body as humanity progresses into the 21st century and beyond.
