The Power of the Jewel

Last time:
She walked to her next class, and sat down at her window seat. The only two classes she had the first two hours were window seats, otherwise they were all on the other side of the room or in the middle of the class.
'Alright. Your turn again.'
Now:
Chapter 6
Demons, demons everywhere!
Recently began to bother him.
Recently, everything began to get more troublesome.
Recently, demons wouldn't stop coming and ruining his time of relaxing in the Goshinboku tree.
Recently, the damn demons wouldn't leave him to eat his free ice cream that the priestess bought him.
He glared at the demons that just interrupted yet another one of his ice cream days. Glaring at them angrily, he raced forward, and instead of slicing them to pieces, threw fire at each and every one of them, before turning and running back to the ice cream shop.
Kagome was just about to leave when she felt Hiei come back. Smiling, she greeted him. "I was just about to leave. I didn't think you would make it again. What have you been doing?"
"Nothing." He snapped, before realizing who he was talking to, and that he might have just lost his free ice cream.
She stared at him as his face changed to an even grumpier look. She laughed. "You have probably been having a bad day, I understand. Do you still want the cookie dough?"
"Mint."
"Sugar cone?"
"Yes."
"Sir. I'll get two mint ice creams with sugar cones."
"Alright…here you are."
She paid for the ice cream, and they walked out of the shop.
"I have homework to do today, so I'm going to be a bit busy."
He nodded, and resumed walking beside her.
"Would you help me? I'm not sure if you'll know this stuff…you know…fighting and all."
He stared at her, leaving his ice cream be for a minute.
"So you'll help? I was supposed to try and get the kendo club to help with the project for this years school festival, but they apparently have something else going on."
"What kind of fighting?"
"Sword fighting. You'd be fighting one of the guys from my class. It's supposed to be a learning thing, to teach the people who want to join a club like kendo or something, and to try and recruit people."
"Who decided this?"
"The men in my classes." Kagome sighed. "The girls were all for doing the food court or whatnot."
"What did you want to do?" Hiei asked, grabbing Kagome's ice cream and beginning to eat it.
"Hiei! That's mine!" Kagome yelled, yanking it from his hands and giving it a little lick. "I wanted to do a skit from one of the myths and legends books."
"What one?"
"Not sure, exactly."
"Hn." He stole her ice cream again, and Kagome gave a frustrated sigh, before stealing it back one more time and finishing it.
"Well? What do you think? My classmates thought I was crazy."
"…" He gave a short glare at her for stealing back the ice cream and finishing it. "With myths or legends means demons, right?"
"Yes."
He said nothing else as she realized what he meant.
"So if I would have told you about that, would you have helped then? Maybe showed whatever it is that is under your head band thingy?"
He ignored her as they reached the stairs of the shrine, and disappeared as she walked up the stairs.
"Meanie. You could answer me at least! Even if I do know the answer."
When she reached the top, she sat down under the Goshinboku and began to work on her other homework that didn't involve the upcoming festival.
Hiei looked around the area as he again felt four demonic auras. He growled low in his throat as he got up and quickly got out of the yard to kill the pests.
"Grrr…why is it every time we come here there are no humans!" One of the demons yelled out angrily.
"Try going into the town." Hiei stated coldly, walking out of the woods.
"Huh? Hey! It's-" Another spoke as Hiei shoved the sword into it's gut and twisted it, then slicing the demon in half.
"You're a waste of time." He said, before he killed the rest, burning them all when they were dead.
He quickly raced back to his tree to relax.
"Hey, Hiei. Why is it that you stay here anyways? Don't you have someone else where you have to be?"
He heard as he just got back. "Hn."
She sighed. "Alright…where do you live?"
"The Makai."
"Then why are you in the Ningenkai?"
"I'm on probation."
She gave yet another exasperated sigh. "Then where are you staying."
"Kyoto."
"…" Kagome looked up at him incredulously. "Isn't that kind of far away?"
"Hn."
"I'm guessing you go back every night at midnight then?" He gave a slight nod.
"Why do you stay here if your just going to take the long trip back there then?"
"How are you getting to the dark tournament?"
"We're back to this now?" Kagome asked deadpanned.
"I'm supposed to take a ship…or plane…or something…" She tried to remember what it was she said she would take…
Flashback
A snake youkai appeared in front of her. "Hey little guy. What do you want?"
The 'little' guy glared at her then spoke. "You have asssssked how you will be getting to the tournament, correct?"
"Yes."
"You have two choicessss, you can either ride with the wealthy and the lordsssss, or you can take the sssship in Kyoto with the contesssstantssss."
"Hmmm…." Kagome looked over at the house, then back. "Would I have an escort to where I am supposed to be for my meeting?"
"Yessss."
"Then I will take the boat in Kyoto. Thank you."
"Very well."
End flashback
"I'm taking the boat in Kyoto. That's what you are going on as well, right?"
"Hn."
"Well then, we can go together I guess. I'll be sure they have ice cream for us to eat when you are not busy fighting."
He smirked, though she couldn't see it, and yet again replied with a "Hn."
She smiled and looked up. "Though you should be training with the rest of your team now, shouldn't you?"
He frowned. "Hn."
Kagome laughed. "Hn, hn, hn, hn, hn…" She said in a sing song before laughing again. "The D. T. is coming soon! Should I be happy, or no?"
He let out a little chuckle, but didn't answer.
She pouted.
