Here's a possible change for Akane's status in the idea I pitched a few posts up:
Soun and Yohko (which is still just a temporary name) battle the various winter youma. Only a Yukionna grabs Yohko and starts to suck the life out of her. Akane jumps on the Yukionna and bites her on the neck. While thrashing about, the Yukionna actually makes the damage worse until finally, after she gets Akane off her neck, she falls over and bleeds to death.
Horrified and angry, the other Yukionna take their dead sister and flee. A few days later, Akane begins falling ill. The doctor mentioned before helps the Tendos catch what's going on: the yukionna have cast a curse on Akane.
The curse is specifically stated so that, unless Akane can give back what she has taken from the yukionna tribe (i.e. the life of a yukionna), she will walk as a yukionna.
Since Akane has no life-restoring powers, the only option that would actually BREAK the curse would be for her to give birth a yukionna and give said child to the pack of yukionna. (Simply joining the pack wouldn't break the curse)
Akane has no desire to conceive a child, then condemn it to those "evil frozen bitches" simply to break a stupid curse on herself.
