(Author's Note this is Part four of multi Part Chapter)

Next morning as both Jessica and Rachel both spent their days like they did prior Seiko watched besides the grand master… your student is determined smiling defeating Gurdon like she did in record time… She is a special one my dear cousin that is why I took it upon myself to train her… I see and your adoptive family do you miss them… I do like a mother to her babies… how did they become a part of you… when I was reborn into the Snake Queen, I gained powers that allow me to harvest snakes from within myself Cousin…

May I see as Seiko held out her arm as a snake coiled from her arm with ease… I must say that is very impressive… these are my children and when they leave me they bond with human hosts therefore bonding them to me… forever Tai Pei asked… if they chose too I don’t **** my children onto people who don’t want this type of power but it does leave them marked allowing them to bond again down the road…

I have five children Artira, Bozza, Hexx, Sheh, and Thraz but in that time Hexx found her lover and new gorgon lover Gateway, Bozza with Diamondback and my daughter their leader fell in love with a recently turned Razbuntare or Raz for short… do they make you proud… every day my dear cousin for they take their power and share it with the world… then who do these two women that came with you they must be of special importance that you would train Rachel is it in our ways… the same queen that gave me my abilities also empowered them as futanari’s goddesses Tai this stays between us… I understand… for Rachel she became a Sincubus…. Wow, she is… no she is not evil her heart is in the right place I wouldn’t taken her on if I thought so otherwise… Aunt and Uncle, and our grandparents agree if they were here that you were always a good judge of character… well my cousin someday I would love to meet your adoptive children know that you always have a home here no matter what you are for you are Shadow Mage and I would like to restore your title and rank of kunoichi… what would others think… they don’t for I am their leader now… Thank you, Tai Pei Seiko smiled and hugged her….

While at Lunch Jessica and Rachel began to eat as they spent their time enjoying their memories when Gurdon began walking their way… Oh, no Jessica spoke startling Rachel while turning around and standing up… Look about last night’s fight… as he grunted towards her and embraced her tight not to mention it you fought bravely against me not anyone here has put me down as fast and quick as you… so you are not mad… Mad hell we both knew this battle was to test you and you got my vote towards the forge… I don’t know what to say shocking Rachel off guard…. Listen Pint size anyone gives you grief or trouble I’ll take care of them they don’t tend to be pissy if I am involved…

Thank you, Friend Rachel smiled but can I ask you why all these challenges is the forge that hard to get into just to forge my own set of Katana swords… the challenges is set to strengthen your will and resolve most initiates who take up this challenge dies not by the test given but in the forge itself… is it that dangerous Jessica asked… not as dangerous in traps no more like the facts that people die of sulfur poisoning and dehydration in there… Rachel spoke that bad… Yeah, considering it is an active volcano… now I get it my friend thank you for all your wisdom… thank you for showing them I could be beaten by exploiting weakness now come let us go back to classes as Jessica smiled and kissed Rachel goodbye…

Seiko smiled there you are dear how are you… Good Seiko thank you for everything… what for… bringing us here allowing Rachel to see she is strong inside and out… as are you… I am not I can’t do what Rachel can… oh ye have little faith come follow me… what about the chores… they can do fine without you now follow me as they both walked to an undisclosed location…

Back in LA Marie and Jasmine went over the prior day’s events…. Grrrr it doesn’t make sense… what doesn’t dear friend Jasmine asked… one minute they are here and next they are gone like they disappear until another crime comes up how do they do it where do they go after they leave the scene of the crime… Jasmine knew but didn’t dare say when Marie said Jas do you know something… Hey I wasn’t there remember… I know still can’t believe your cell has bad reception… it is what it is… you need to upgrade my friend technology works wonders….

That’s it Marie, think about it you said they disappear and come from nowhere right… yeah what about it… what if they use some kind of rapid teleportation… there you go again thinking of those Sci Fi novels and movies you love so much… hey it was an idea, and we been through a lot of shit together have we not… Yeah, we have I can’t believe you bounced back like you did in that chemical warehouse fire in Zanzibar on our first deployment…

Yeah, Jasmine frowned down it was my mistake that took the lives of braver men and women… hey you didn’t know the building was rigged to blow… but I should have that is why I took the secretarial position I couldn’t let more people die on my watch…

Jasmine listen to me we all knew what we were signing up for you, me, Torres, Jackson, Peterson and Amber Jasmine spoke back did she have to be burned to ****… I know dear, but I am glad you are still here from our team and you should stop beating yourself up accidents happen as Jasmine spoke in her mind if Marie only knew that the explosion that caused so many of our brothers and sister to die created Inferno… it is for them I fight what the rest of you all can’t fight…

Back at Shadow Mage holy temple…. AGAIN as Jessica and Seiko began to clank wooden bo staffs blocking and striking them easy at first… see you are getting it dear as Jessica began to match move with Seiko’s moves when Seiko used the staff to sweep Jessie’s leg… Hey Owe that smarts… here lifting her friend up see you are not weak you never was, you just need to learn how to harness your inner strength inside of you when they heard the dinner bell rang out… come Rachel will need our support…

Can you teach me more Seiko…? Of course, but for now let us eat and see what challenge comes next… Ok Sensei… you don’t have to… I want to as Jessie bowed very well let us go….

Fellow Clansmen and Women of Shadow Mage Round Two

Rachel Jenkins vs Tiger Lilly when a back flipping woman bounced over Rachel’s head as she watched in awe seeing this female ninja twist and turn in midair removing her cloak in a warrior stance…. Oh, my who is this Jessica asked as Gurdon came by one of our top elite warriors skilled in many arts worrying Jessica… as the woman began to try to psyche out Rachel with her limber display…

When Tai Pei spoke Fight as Lilly came in like lighting as Rachel began to block blow for blow when a swift kick took the air out of her landing her on her knees… you may have beaten Gurdon but you will never beat me… is that so when Rachel began to launch attack after attack as her moves were blocked blow for blow as Lilly threw her down….

Stay Down Gaijin… NEVER angering Rachel as she found Lilly’s weakness this time by staying close range and using defensive than offensive move set as the fellow students and warriors watched on… when Lilly threw Rachel down in front of her lover and placed her in a reverse ****… I told you that you will not beat me… first round was lucky this round you will be defeated as Rachel looked at Jessie’s and Seiko’s eyes as they mouthed DO IT SHOW HER WHO IS KING BITCH HERE…. Resolving new-found energy to snake her way out of the hold… YOU CUNT YOU BIT ME… hey no holds barred right your grand master said it herself anything goes enraging Lilly just as Rachel Intended to do as she jumped into the air and spun kicked Lilly across the temple knocking her down and out as their ref lifted the hand seeing it go limp… Winner by knockout Initiate Rachel Jenkins…

When Lilly came forward and gracefully bowed you have beaten me no one has… as Rachel kneel down look at me… I have dishonored myself in front of my clan what is your wish Exile or ****… Neither shocking Tiger Lilly… then what do you require of me… your vote towards the forge… you got it as Rachel lifted her defeated foe up and raised her hand alongside hers…

Seiko smiled wide as Jessica said Sensei what gives… this test was not just about speed and stamina this was about sportsmanship conduct and respect as yes it does strengthen her will but to congratulate a foe in a friendly battle like this as Seiko and Jessica hugged their friend, student and lover as the Shadow Mage warriors celebrated victory except for Mikoto who watched in the shadows… Just you wait you will feel the wrath of the Shadow Mage Clan outsider you just wait and see as she turned around disappearing into the darkness of nightfall as the other continued celebrating another hard fought victory….
