Long time no write, eh? Sorry! I have been busy and hopefully this little bit will help ease ya'll a bit. I will try to get in more over this week, but no promises.

AkuAkumu: I am working on one with Jin being Kagome's sister, but it will be a bit. I want to get this story updated more often and almost finshed…

Thank you all who are understanding that my life is very busy and my writers block has been hard and this chapter was written while I was still going through my writers block so hopefully it isn't to bad…

Last Time:

"I just know something bad is going to happen," was all she said. He knew there was more but decided to let it go for now. It was clear she wasn't going to tell him at this time.

Ice Demon

Chapter 6:

The morning came quickly for the Urameshi team and friends. They all had a feeling of foreboding and it caused them all to be wary of everyone and thing. Something was off and even those without spiritual awareness could feel it.

"Be on guard everyone." Kagome told them. The girls were now walking away from the team to go to there seats. They nodded in understanding as they went there own way.

"Let's get this over with." Yusuke grumbled. He didn't like the feeling he was getting, it was telling him something, but he didn't know what.

They walked out as they were introduced along with team Satanic. Kagome couldn't help but think the name suited them once she got a look at them. The whole team had reddish skin and a set of horns protruding there heads.

"Captions, if you will." Jury inquired. The team captions argued or talked aggressively before coming to an agreement. "It will be one on one." Jury announced. Yusuke and the other demon jumped out of the ring and the players for the first round stepped forth.

"For team Satanic we have Kino and for team Urameshi we have Kuwabara." Jury shouted over the roaring crowd.

Kino looked at Kuwabara with complete malice causing a shiver to run down Kuwabara's spine. He tried to stay brave as he thought about Yukina watching him. It would not due to loose and allow her to see him fail. He charged up his spirit sword and prepared to charge.

He didn't get the chance to do so though for Kino charged him with a whip drawn. The whip was flaming red and you could see the steam coming off of it. It caused Kuwabara's eyes to wide for a brief moment in alarm.

Kuwabara dodged out of the whips path just barely missing it. The spot that he once stood at now had a scorching mark where the whip had hit. He shivered thinking what that would have felt like. Kuwabara decided he would attack first this time. He charged with his sword but in the process manipulated his energy causing it to change its direction and landed a shallow blow to Kino's side. Kino hissed in anger and pain as he glared at Kuwabara.

"You will pay for that, human." Kino growled. He whipped his whip forth in his rage at being even touched by a human and this one in particular.

The others watched in wonder and worry as Kino's whip lashed out repeatedly towards Kuwabara who was dodging as quickly as possible. He wasn't quick enough though. His left arm was lashed with the flaming whip causing all to hear the hissing of his flesh as it melted beneath the attack. The damage was great and Kuwabara wasn't looking to good. He knew he couldn't give into the pain though, so he continued to fight.

"Kuwabara, use your distance attacks. Don't try and hit him with your fist!" shouted Kagome. Her eyes were lit up with worry as she watched the mark on Kuwabara's skin, on his arm, bubble from the heat. Her eyes searched the other team's eyes and their posture.

"They're cheating," she hissed. The members of the other team's eyes were all staring straight at their member that was fighting. She could just barely see the thread of power that flowed from their eyes into his aura. "I've got to do something," she whispered this to herself. She was still not happy with him, but not enough to let him die…unfairly.

Kagome smirked evilly as she thought of something that would get the other teams attention. This always worked when Sesshomaru ignored her of course it really pissed him off, but oh well. Laughing lightly to herself, she started her plan. (AN: I do not own this…song. When I heard it, I was laughing at how annoying it was.)

"I'm a little acorn brown,

Lying on the dusty ground;

Nobody stops to pick me up,

'Cause I am just a little NUT.

She sung loud and clear. Her laughter was held in, but it was clear to see it in her eyes and smile. She was sure that every demon within the stadium would be after her once she finished, but it would be worth it if Kuwabara would survive. Rising her volume a bit more she continued to sing.

Chorus

I'm a nut. (clap, clap)

I'm a nut. (clap, clap)

I'm a little nut.

I' a little acorn brown,

Lying on the cold, hard ground;

Someone came and stepped on me,

Now I'm cracked as I can be

Chorus

I was happy as can be,

'Till I fell out of that tree;

Then Farmer Jed came walkin' along

And he most kindly planted me!

Now I'm a tree. (clap, clap)

I'm a tree. (clap, clap)

I'm a big oak tree

And now nobody steps on me!

She had sung the whole song even though the other team had already turned to look at her long ago. Their eyes were cold and threatened a painful death. They weren't the only ones looking at her like that; all that weren't looking at the fight any longer were doing the same. Her teammates were looking at her as if she had lost her mind. She smiled innocently with her hands behind her back. It made her look even more like a child.

The girls were sitting in the stands looking down at Kagome while holding in their laughter. It was clear that the demons wanted to strangle the girl. Shizuru was the first of the girls to notice that the fight between Kuwabara and Kino had a drastic change.

"Kino's gotten weaker," commented Shizuru. She looked back over at Kagome and grinned. She knew she liked that girl for a reason.

"What was that about," asked Yusuke. His trademark smirk was in place as he listened to the demons chat to kill the annoying wench.

"Oh nothing," she laughed. Kurama and Hiei looked over to Yusuke and Kagome with raised brows. They knew it wasn't "nothing" as soon as they looked back towards the fight. Kagome saw this and threw up her hands in defeat. "Fine, they were cheating by feeding Kino energy with their eyes so I turned their eyes to me."

Yusuke laughed at this. "You turned almost all eyes to you and now most of the threats as well."

"I'll sing something worse if that team tries to cheat again," growled Kagome. Her eyes were locked with the Satanic leader. He had heard her words and his aura flared in anger. She just gave a mock bow as if she had been given an encore and smiled way too sweetly. She then looked into the stands at the girls and smiled. She knew that Shizuru had caught on with the way that she was smiling at her.

The other team didn't try to cheat again with the Urameshi team. They did not want to see if Kagome would live up to her threat of another song. That had cost them their lives though. Without each of them lending energy to the fighter, they were not strong enough to even cause their whips to look like anything other that a piece of string that hardly scorched the skin let alone cause a wound. It stung and drew blood, but the hits were nothing compared to other wounds they had been inflicted.

"Please don't sing that song again," pleaded Touya. He thought it was funny that she got a reaction from everyone, but it also made her a target now even more so than before. She had managed to piss off a whole stadium full of demons, which was scary.

"Fine," sighed, Kagome. Her eyes sparkled and she looked over at Kanji who caught on quickly. They both smiled innocently.

"Miss Polly had a dolly

Who was sick, sick, sick.

So she called for the doctor

To be quick, quick, quick," sung Kanji. She was skipping away with Kagome. There arms locked.

"The doctor came

With his bag and his hat

And he knocked at the door

With a rat-a-tat-tat," the two girls sung together. Kanji started to laugh as the picked up their speed.

"He looked at the dolly

And he shook his head

And he said, "Miss Polly.

Put her straight to bed."

He wrote out a prescription

For a pill, pill, pill,

"That'll make her better,

Yes it will, will, will," Kagome finished the song. By this time, both girls were running from the boys who were chasing after them, to shut them up. The other girls were laughing at the two girl's antics. It wasn't everyday you got to see the boys chase two girls over a kiddy song. Actually, they had never seen it.

Touya caught up to Kanji and tackled her down. She had slowed down from all the laughing. Touya smiled slightly at her before he captured her lips with his. They were interrupted by Kuwabara who came to where they were panting. Meanwhile, Kagome was running from Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama. Her laughter could be heard from far.

She stopped just in time to keep herself from running into Hiei who had just jumped in front of her. She backed up still giggling while looking around her, only to find herself surrounded. They had all forgotten about the dangers and worries that had engulfed them earlier.

"You found that funny," asked Yusuke. He and the other two were closing in on her with looks that said she was in for trouble. She laughed nervously with a sheepish grin.

"Um…yes," she told them. She couldn't help it. They all needed a stress reliever and what better way than to act like all was fine and dandy, like a child more precisely. Her eyes widened when all three of them made a jump for her. She quickly jumped up, but her leg was caught by Yusuke who pulled her down with them. They were in a tangle of bodies when the others finally got to them. They all broke into laughter at the sight.

Yusuke had Kagome's ankle in his hand, but that and his head were all that you could see of him. Kurama's red hair was hiding some of Hiei's body. His feet were next to Yusuke's head. Kagome was sitting on top of the three boys laughing.

"You idiot, Yusuke, all you did was add more weight," laughed Kagome. She wiggled to get herself more comfortable and to make it less comfortable for them. Her body quickly became tense though. The others all noticed this and became alert. Kagome was off of the boys quicker than they could blink. She was looking around the trees with narrowed eyes.

"What is it," asked Yukina after a few minutes of silence. The girls were all surrounded by the boys, other than Kagome. She was still looking around the trees. She was sure she felt it, the pulse from within when someone with malicious intent was close. Her hands were clenched tightly causing her knuckles to go white.

Kagome unconsciously brought a hand up to her heart. The Shikon no Tama was once again in side of her. This time though, it could not leave her. There were ways for her to use its power, but not others, unless they had control over her, which she would not allow…again. There were risks in using the Shikon power though.

"I…Nothing," she told them. It wasn't really a lie for she didn't know. It was after all only a feeling, one that never lied but still it wasn't something she was about to try and explain.

"I think it would be better if we all went back to the hotel," recommended Kurama. They all agreed and started to walk back. Kagome was trailing behind them with a far off look. Her mind was filled with a conversation she had had with Sesshomaru.

'He has retained all of his memories and from what we have been told you are his obsession. It was the fact that the jewel's presence remained that he has returned as well as remembered us all.' his words echoed within her mind. 'He wants you and you know of the extent he is willing to go to get you.'

"Kagome, are you alright," asked Kurama. He was looking at her from the corner of his eyes. Being brought out of her thoughts Kagome nodded mutely. Her mind was still on other matters, but now she was aware of the others in front of her.

'I should talk with Touya about this later,' she thought. It was the last thought she had on that matter as she walked into the hotel room. They had decided to play a game of cards to waste time away. Kagome grabbed Touya's arm and dragged him away from Kanji. She pulled him into her room where she locked the door and put up a sound proof barrier.

"What's going on," asked a bit baffled Touya. He went serious when he caught the look on her face.

"I need to tell you something only Sesshomaru knows," she told him. "This is not to leave this room." She waited till he agreed before continuing. "The jewel didn't just disappear. I can still use its powers though no other can."

Touya let this information sink in before he said anything. "What are you trying to tell me?"

"There is always a price for power," she told him, sadly. She refused to look him in the eyes. "If I ever used its power the consequences could be great. The truth of the matter is that we don't really know just how great."

Touya nodded his head in understanding. She was telling him that if she ever used the jewel she could die by the sheer power that it would pulse through her veins. It was a scary thing to picture and he looked at her with wonder. Why was she telling him this?

Kagome caught his look and smiled slightly. "I only thought it would be right to tell you since you are my brother. The reason no one is to know this is for my safety." He nodded again. There was no way he would tell anyone what she had told him. His mind was working hard trying to figure out the real reason she had told him. He was smarter than most and knew there was more to her reasons. The question was what.

Okay I know this is short, only six pages. I am going to start writing more tonight, but thought I would let ya'll read what I got so far… Hope you like and sorry again for the wait. Review please and it helps me update and gives me more ideas…
