I got a review and I wanted to comment on it. They said that the way Kagome's mother told Kagome she was a demon was a "half assed fanfic moment". I am working on that part of the first chapter so…Yeah! ;)-

Okay sorry about all that…I had some great reviews, most of them, and I would love to say my thanks to:

Everyone! You know who you are. Sorry, but I'm feeling to lazy to write every thank you and what not…

Last Time:

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.

Ice Demon

Chapter 7:

Touya left the room still in thought. The others all could see the worry and wonder on his features. This confused them all, but they were sure that neither he nor Kagome would tell them what was going on at the moment, unless they thought it concerned them. It was clear that they or rather she did not since she took Touya into another room to tell him whatever it was she told him.

Meanwhile, Kagome was still sitting on the bed after Touya left. She couldn't help the sadness that seeped into her eyes. The possibilities that were to come haunted her ever waking moment and her once peaceful dreams. Her only goals at the moment were train, survive at least until the finals, and try to bring laughter to her friends and family while she could. She was sure Toshi was going to make his first move soon the question was what it would enfold.

"You alright, Kaggy girl," asked Kanji. She was looking at her new sister with worry. It wasn't hard to see the emotions that Kagome was feeling at the moment. Kagome was as open as a book whenever she thought she was alone or was deep in thought.

Kagome snapped her head in the direction of the familiar voice. Her thoughts on the possibilities of what was to come left with the panic of letting her guard down to the point that she hadn't realized Kanji was there. Kagome scolded herself for her stupidity at doing such a thing.

"No, but I will be," she told her new sister in her mind though she added, 'For now at least.' Kagome smiled reassuringly at Kanji as Kanji sat beside her on the bed.

"Don't let the possibilities of the future haunt you, live for the now and cherish what you have." Kanji told her. "But don't forget to plan ahead." She knew her dear friend and sister was in trouble and it wasn't hard to see this from either her or Touya. Kanji knew that Kagome would dwell on possibilities of the future and knew the price of such a thing was high and deadly.

Kagome laughed lightly. Those were defiantly the words she needed at the moment. Her eyes went to Kanji and she looked at her suspiciously. Did Kanji read her mind or what? Shaking that suspicious thought from her mind, she smiled at her sister. There seemed to always be someone approaching her for either her life or her power. It was time she stopped running from her problems and started to solve them, one way, or another.

"You're right Kanji. I do dwell on the possibilities and that is how I've been dealing with this threat, but I think I've got a plan started." Kagome informed her sister. The room they were in was once again shielded by a sound proof barrier as Kagome started to speak. Kanji noticed this immediately and looked at Kagome in confusion.

"When the time comes I'll need your help," stated Kagome. Her eyes were emotionless, shielding the feelings that Kanji was sure she didn't want to see at the moment. Kanji had a bad feeling about this, but agreed. "This needs to remain a secret between us for now."

Kanji left the room with a smiling Kagome. It was clear those two were up to something, but assumed it was girl stuff and shrugged it off. Those two seemed to like to play tricks and annoy all living things. Kagome caught this look from them all and laughed nervously while Kanji laughed out of amusement. It was clear to tell the difference between the two and even more questions were raised within their minds.

"If you don't mind I'm going out," announced Kagome. She had a duffle bag in her hands as she walked towards the door.

"Where are you going," asked Kuwabara. Kagome looked over at him with a big grin and wide eyes. The excitement was evident in not only her eyes but her posture as well.

"I have a date and if I'm late he tends to get blood thirty," she told him, her face twisted into a sinister look. Kuwabara shuddered at the look she gave. None were looking, but if they were, they would have seen Hiei's eyes become cold and harder than usual at her words.

"Then hurry up and go," screamed Kuwabara. His eyes wide at the possibility of a blood thirsty demon, which would have to be very powerful to date Kagome, coming to there room for revenge on making her late.

"I'm gone," with that, she closed the door with a bang. Kanji laughed out at this, which confused the others. She had seen Hiei jump out the window and knew where Kagome was headed.

"What do you find so amusing," asked Kurama. He was sure Hiei was far from pleased at hearing of Kagome going on a date and he didn't find any of it funny. Kanji had a huge grin on as she skipped over to the window and looked out it, in the direction she knew they had gone.

"I take it none of you have ever met Kagome's date. He is very sinister and always blood thirsty though Kagome would argue that. You see Sesshomaru gave her a sword that is made of his fang, hair, and blood. It's very evil," Kanji told them. This had Yusuke laughing hard.

"You mean her date is a sword and Hiei thought it was a demon," he laughed. This got all them to go into their own form of amusement. Kanji looked at Yusuke with a raised brow.

"If I'm not mistaken you all thought it was an actual date. Kagome told me she calls it a date since she feels she is actually with Sesshomaru when she is training with his gift, since it is a piece of him. Thus she calls it a date." Kanji explained, before plopping back onto the chair closest to the window. Her eyes clouding over in thought of what Kagome was planning.

Kagome walked into a clear area away from all other life forms. She set her bag down and unzipped it. Her delicate hands pulled out a deadly weapon that was radiating a mass amount of evil demonic energy. The bag had shielded its aura, but now it was flowing freely. She was holding the hilt tightly as she brought it closer to her. The aura of the sword calmed down slightly as its aura mixed with hers.

"It looks like I'll need you once again," she whispered to the sword. It pulsed at her words. Her eyes started to glow red as the swords energy pushed her own back, somewhat. Hiei watched all this from the shadows.

Kagome's eyes continued to glow as she practiced. The sword led her through the motions that she had forgotten. It was clear that this sword was like no other. It seemed to love its wielder, train her, guide her, slow her when she became tired, and it probably would do all in its power to protect her. Hiei watched as Kagome's eyes stopped glowing and her movements came to a stop.

"So much like Sesshou, always wanting to be in complete control," Kagome mumbled in good nature. The sword pulsed once again as Kagome put it in its sheath. There was no way to hide her adoration for the sword, her eyes and body language told all. That sword was a precious object that she would fight to the death for and with.

"Alright Hiei you can come out now," called Kagome. She had felt him following her and knew he was still watching. Hiei wasted no time as he jumped and landed before her. Kagome turned towards him with a small smile and amusement dancing in her eyes. She quickly turned back towards her sword when it sent a pulse of evil energy out. It didn't like being ignored, especially over a male demon. The sword always thought of her as his and vice versa.

"This is your date," asked Hiei. A skeptical brow rose and Kagome couldn't help the deadly smirk that tugged at her lips. This was brought out by the demonic energy that laced up her arm from the sword. It had a mind of its own.

"Yes and he doesn't like the fact that you watched us," she told him. "He's very protective and possessive."

Hiei looked down towards the sword with hard eyes. He didn't need her to tell him that since it was already plainly clear just how protective and possessive it was. The dark aura that surrounded it was not unfamiliar either. Sesshomaru had obviously been the one to have this sword forged. His dark aura was the one that mingled with the weapon in Kagome's hand.

Kagome lowered her head as she thought over her decision. Would she survive? She didn't know, but she knew it was the right decision. There was no point telling the others since there was no way that they would sit to the side and let her take such a chance. This was the right thing to do and soon she would prove it. She just had to pretend everything was all right till then.

"Why don't we head back inside," asked Kagome. She didn't want to be out here any longer. There was something in her that felt wrong and she just wanted to go sleep it off. Her decision was right and she wouldn't let herself second guess her own decision. They would all understand she did the right thing in time.

Hiei shrugged and the two started to walk back towards the hotel unaware of the eyes that watched them with malice. Wrapped up in their own thoughts and worlds were they. It didn't matter for even if they knew they were being watched there wasn't anything they could have done that would keep them from being seen.

That night Kagome snuggled herself up against a sleeping Hiei. She felt bad for dragging them all into this, especially him though. She had dragged him deeper than she had the others. It gave her a bitter taste in her mouth when she thought what she might do to him. Deciding not to think of such things, she shoved those thoughts to the back of her head. Kanji had been right about dwelling over the future. She was with him now and she would enjoy this time. Hiei's arms tightened their hold around her waist as if he knew she was troubled. This caused her to smile as she gripped his shirt tightly.

Sesshomaru stood at the head of the table with those he trusted most sitting around him. They were all discussing the events that were to come and those that had already taken place. His golden eyes were void of all emotion, but his agitation was still seen in his stiff stature.

"We have been fighting back the force towards the northern border. They are all weaker youkai and it shouldn't take much longer before we over take them," this was spoken from a female. She had short red hair that defied gravity, sticking out in numerous places. Her fierce orange eyes glowed like the fires light.

"Have it done within the week, Takari," ordered Sesshomaru. The female demoness now known as Takari bowed.

"Yes my lord," she raised her head, as they continued the meeting.

"Machi," Sesshomaru looked over to a tall demon with long green hair that was pulled back at the nape of his neck. His eyes were sea foam green in color and looked bored and lazy.

"We have not been able to pinpoint his true location, my lord. He doesn't remain in one place long enough. I have heard a rumor, that whatever it is he's planning, is coming to a close soon and from what they had said it, it sounded like they were going as planned for him. The number of his followers is growing at a rapid rate." Machi replied.

"I see. Miroku you and Sango will remain here. We need to tighten security. Shippo you will aid Machi and find out the facts. Use whatever means necessary. Inuyasha you will aid Takari and end this battle and then start preparing for the next. This Toshi bastard is keen on deception as you all know, so be suspicious and stay on guard." Sesshomaru ordered. His voice cold as ice with a fine chip that left them all feeling a bit frozen in place, but it didn't last long. They knew the extent that this demon would go and it wasn't something they wanted to see again.

Sesshomaru dismissed them then. He had things to think over. His mind kept going back to Kagome and something within him tightened in dread. She was planning something, he could feel it from here. The question was what…

Okay, I know I left this at a bad spot, but I wanted to get this out for all those who have been waiting. To top things off on my hectic life, I am having medical problems. The doctor's found a few things, but they are having problems figuring out exactly what it is, since I don't meet all the right criteria…Anyway I am trying to write between doctor visits, taking my kids to all their activities such as school and what not…Please be patient!
