Kagura rolled her eyes replying, "Why bother with a test when you can have any female you want without one. There are many suitable women that would gladly give themselves to you." Kagura thought to herself [If only you would notice you stupid male.]

Naraku says, "Simply because I want that female. Because one she has great beauty, and two she is untouched by any male. Also, she is very strong she will bear me strong young as she is a full-blooded demon. I will gain power mating her and that will make getting the jewel that much easier. Plus I am sure as her mate I will gain that shard she has without having to fight for it."

Kagura throws up her hands yelling, "Men they want what they can't have. Mark my words Naraku she will ruin you!" She storms off not going far knowing she'd get into trouble if she did but she was pissed. Naraku yells, "Go to your room, young Lady! Before I change my mind and take you to the dungeon for a whipping." With that Kagura takes to the sky using her feather sticking her tongue out at him before flying off to her room in his castle.

Akira managed to calm down on her way home but as she arrives all she could think of was his soft warm lips on hers. Akira smirks thinking of part two of the test but she needed to trade armor with Koga to get more with male scent on it. That was the arrangement Akira allowed his clan to use her father's old armor as long as she had several to use to disguise herself with and when the male scent started to fade she would go, and trade the ones she had for different ones. Akira knew eventually she would have no need for the armor, and liked the idea of it being useful. After a good night sleep, Akira went to Koga's which she manages to do rather quickly. Sometimes traveling as a male had its advantages no men trying to win her over or to slow her down. As she arrived Koga smiled saying, "Akira long time no see."

Akira replied, "Koga it's a good thing you're interested in mating that female you still haven't introduced me too. Perhaps you have given up on her and decided to finally mate Ayame who claims you promised to do so."

Koga smirked asking, "Why is that?" He was trying to look both cute, and handsome as he enjoyed teasing her. He believed her test was silly nonsense, and that she needed to just let a male claim her already.

Akira replied, "Well it's hard to test when you know the woman you want is in front of you. Plus there is the issue of them trying to cheat and get out of the test with physical attraction. Then there is the fickle sort who already have one female's interest but chooses another kind of like you."

Koga chuckled asking, "When will you just drop this testing nonsense, and just choose a suitable mate?" He was shaking his head not that he minds her coming and bringing the armor it's was just that he didn't want her getting too old to have young. He seriously worried about her and one day someone figuring out she wasn't male and taking advantage of her during her heat cycle.

Akira raises an eyebrow replying, "The day you stop being male Koga is the day I drop my test requirement. Until then I am keeping things the way they are. I know you're only trying to help but I have to be sure he won't change his mind the next time he sees a pretty face."

Koga turns pale saying, "I'm guessing by the bag you're here to trade with my men." He wasn't going to argue anymore she was too determined to keep to her testing. Akira smiles, and says, "Yes I am. I have a feeling this will be my last trip, though. I have found a male that interests me, and I have started testing him. He also seems highly interested in me."

Koga takes in what she said before replying, "Make yourself comfortable you're safe here and join us for dinner. Your bag will be refilled by the time were done. Besides my woman will be here then, and I can introduce you to her. I'd hate for you to think I was crazy."

Akira puts her stuff down and takes off her armor. Then Akira pokes Koga since some of the wolves are staring at her so she asks, "New recruits?" Koga looks, and notices them practically drooling, and staring at Akira he chuckles saying, "Yes, they just joined our pack but they will keep their distance if they know what's good for them."

They decide to be brave, and ask, "What happens if we don't? What if we wish to mate with her?" Akira turns glaring at them with red glowing eyes, and in a very scary voice replies, "I make you regret ever being born male or I kill you your choice."

They both tremble at the intensity of her stare, and one even wets his pants before they both flee. Koga chuckles, and says, "You'll have to teach me how to do the someday." Akira smiles as her eyes return to normal saying, "Dear Koga all you have to do is mean what you say, and you too will get that reaction. I have no issues killing to make my point or with making someone regret being born male."

Time passes quickly, and it's time for dinner Kagome, and InuYasha arrives just as dinner is ready. Koga stands up, and says, "Akira this is her, the love of my life." Akira giggles saying, "Nice to see you again Kagome. How have your travels been?" She notices that InuYasha isn't too happy with Koga but that is to be expected when two men want the same female.

Kagome smiles replying, "Nice to see you Akira. We have done well we have a new member now this is Shippo." Akira notices her pointing to a young fox kit on her shoulder. Akira says, "You'll have to tell me your secret in getting both Koga, and InuYasha to fall in love with you." Akira couldn't believe it, how could one Miko no less could attract two male demons.

Kagome giggles and blushes at Akira's compliment. Miroku sweat drops and hides behind Sango at the sight of Akira. Miroku's total fear of Akira has Koga rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter. Akira takes Kagome aside, and says, "I need to speak with you about something."

Kagome says, "Sure what is it?" She is confused about why Akira wants to talk to her perhaps she wanted tips on how to attract men if that was the case she couldn't help her as she didn't want the attention as it is. Perhaps she wished to talk to her about the Jewel again or maybe return it to her.
