Chapter 4
"What do you want, Inuyasha?" Sesshoumaru asked, eyes closed as he sat against a tree. "I need to talk to you, right now." Inuyasha answered his brother gruffly. Sesshoumaru cracked his eyes open and gave a barley noticeable nod before Inuyasha plopped down in front of him. "After the last battle… I'm going to hell with Kikyo. I want-no, I need you to take care of Kagome for me. You've already taught her how to fight with weapons and her fists, I just need you to protect her since I won't be able to." Inuyasha finished. Sesshoumaru stared at him for a few moments before closing his eyes again. "Hey! Did you hear me?" Inuyasha shouted. "I heard you, I will take care of her as you could not." Sesshoumaru stated. Inuyasha growled and stood up, stomping away. Sesshoumaru turned his head and looked at the sleeping miko by the fire. "Protect her…" he muttered before closing his eyes again.
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes and stared at the pure white ceiling. "How are you feeling?" a voice from the doorway asked. "Like someone shot me, come on in Bruce." He said. Bruce walked all of the way into the room and stood next to the bed. "You know about Terry?" he asked. "You know about Kagome?" Sesshoumaru retaliated. "For a few minutes now. You know you can leave?" Bruce asked. "Yeah, I think I'm scared for her." Sesshoumaru said sitting up. Bruce raised an eyebrow and stared at him. "Naraku's no joke, he should be dead." He elaborated. "So should everyone he was with tonight." Bruce sighed sitting in a chair. Sesshoumaru grunted as he stood from the bed and walked over to the chair with his clothes on it. 'Kagome can handle anything.' He thought stepping into his pants.

Psiren shuffled through her deck of cards with her left hand as she hung onto a gargoyle on the side of the hotel with her right hand. "You're not going to let me help you, are you?" Batman asked standing on the ledge. "No, I can do this myself. You would probably let me fall anyway." Psiren grunted as she found the card she wanted, pulling it out of the deck with her teeth. Batman watched as she put the remaining cards in a pouch on her side and grasped onto the card in her mouth before making it become big. "Why are you still here?" she asked dropping onto the card hovering under her. "I have a few questions to ask you and I'm not going anywhere until you answer them." He said jumping onto the card with her. Psiren sighed and floated down to the alley next to the hotel. "What do you want to know?" she asked stepping off of her card and crossing her arms. "Who is Naraku?" he asked. Psiren sighed and shrugged before looking to the side. Batman narrowed his eyes and slammed her back into the brick wall causing her to gasp in pain as the wall dug into her injured shoulder.
'Pain!!!' her mind screamed at her. Whimpering, she closed her eyes and willed her body to somehow relax. "Answer my question! Because of you Sesshoumaru was taken to the hospital, someone could have died because of your stupidity. You swore that you would protect the people of Gotham not get them shot!" He growled out angrily. "I know that! You think I'm stupid or something? I know that everything that happened tonight was my fault! I'm sorry." She yelled. "Then tell me everything." He growled at her, relaxing his hold a little. "No, it's none of your business and it's not your fight." Psiren said. Batman glared at her and stepped away, pacing to the other wall and back. "I don't ever want to see your face on the streets of Gotham again. If I do see you, I'll have you locked up." He said. Psiren nodded and stared at him before hesitantly bringing her hand up and yanking his mask off. 'Oh… my… God… Run!' her mind yelled seeing Terry's face. Terry stood there, stunned, and watched as Psiren jumped onto her card and flew off. "Bruce is going to kill me. I can't believe I let that happen." He said before jamming the mask back on and flying to Wayne Manor.

"Oh my gosh… Jaken? Please tell me you're here." Kagome yelled as she tugged her wig and mask off when she was in her penthouse. "Stop yelling, what's wrong?" Jaken asked. "Jaken, Sesshoumaru's in Gotham Hospital. He was shot. Naraku's got the jewel shards too and he brought some people back and I'm scared and babbling." Kagome said running a hand through her hair. Jaken sighed and nodded. "He would do something like his. Go to bed, I'll go to Lord Sesshoumaru; and clean up your shoulder." Jaken said trying to stay calm in front of the distraught girl. Kagome sniffled and nodded before padding into her room. 'I need to get out of here.' she thought closing the door behind her. 'Time for destiny to get its do-over.' He thought grabbing a set of keys and walking out of the penthouse.

Terry stuffed the Batsuit into his book bag and looked around. "Hey Ace, I don't know when Bruce will be back okay? I'll see you tomorrow boy." Terry said locking the front door as he walked through it. Locking the door, Terry turned and walked over to his motorcycle. 'Man, I need a vacation.' He thought starting the bike and flying down the driveway. Turning onto the highway, he glanced at a sign and got off at the exit, parking at the first café he saw. Turning the bike off, he yawned as he walked inside and glanced around. '…Kagome?' he thought seeing a familiar head of ebony hair. He smiled and walked over to the table and set his helmet down. "Mind if I join you?" he asked. Kagome's head shot up as she looked at him wide eyed. "Oh… Bat-Terry! Sure have a seat." She said gesturing to the empty bench seat across from her. "So, what are you doing here?" he asked looking at some papers that were scattered in front of her. "I was uh… just looking at some stuff that I needed to um… look at." She finished, feeling her face heat up. 'Yeah, this conversation is turning out really well.' She thought making a stack and stuffing them into her bag.
Terry looked at Kagome strangely as her hands shook as she picked up her coffee mug. "Is everything okay? You're shaking like a leaf." He stated as Kagome's eyes shifted around anxiously. "Oh yeah, I'm fine. Everything is cool." She laughed nervously. Terry gave her a skeptical look as a waitress brought another mug for him and filled it with coffee. "I'm sorry about your party." He said finally. "It's fine, I didn't want it anyway." She said staring out of the window at the snow that began to fall. "Okay, what's wrong? You're normally not this quite." Terry said laying a hand on one of hers. Kagome tensed and pulled her hands away and folded them on her lap. Terry sighed and stood up before breaking out his wallet and pulling out his credit; he gave it to the waitress and tugged Kagome to her feet. "What is this? What are you doing?" she asked looking at his with wide eyes again. "We're getting out of here, thank you ma'am. Did you drive?" he asked taking his credit back from the waitress.
Kagome stared at him and shook her head no. "How did you get here then?" he asked walking outside with her. "I took a cab…" she lied feeling her deck of cards shift in her jeans pocket. Terry nodded and held out a spare helmet to her. Kagome bit her lip and sighed before grabbing the helmet, jamming it on her head, and sitting behind Terry. "Hang on." He said before shooting back onto the highway. 'I am not putting on a good front. If I keep blubbering up this much he's going to find out that I'm Psiren.' She thought hearing the bike turn off. "Where are we?" she asked taking the helmet off. "My house, I want you to meet my mom and little brother." He said tugging her into the house. Kagome gulped when he released her and began to look around the house. "Mom's out on a date and Matt is sleeping over a friend's house apparently." He announced walking up to her and holding a note in his hand. Kagome nodded and looked around nervously. 'If it comes down to it, I guess I could just jump out of a window.' She thought as he began to lead her into the living room while taking his jacket off and tossing it onto the back of the couch.
Terry sat on the couch and pulled her down with him. "Do you normally watch any specific thing at this time?" he asked flipping through the channels on the TV. "No, I'm normally out pat-looking at clothes and stuff." She answered quickly covering up her slip. Terry nodded and left the news on. Kagome sighed and squeaked when Psiren's picture popped up. Terry's eyes narrowed before feeling a hand on his thigh. "You never showed me your house." She said quickly. Terry blinked and smiled before standing up and pulling her to her feet. "Then let me give you the tour." He said. Kagome plastered a fake smile on her face and let him lead her around the apartment.

Joker sat with Naraku inside of his office, picking at his nails absently. "So, since Sesshoumaru isn't dead yet I assume we're going to strike again." He said in a bored tone. "Yes, I was hoping at least one of them would be dead by now, but patience is a virtue. When one of them is dead I think it will be one of the best days of my life." Naraku answered. "Master Naraku, everyone is getting restless." Kagura said timidly as she peered her head into the room. "Tell them I'll be in there in a few moments." He growled out angrily. Kagura nodded and backed away, closing the door fully behind her. "Let's go and see what kind of fun things we can think up with for next time!" Joker exclaimed happily. Naraku nodded and stood up before walking out with the Joker following behind giddily.

"And this is my room." Terry said opening the door to his room for Kagome. Kagome looked around as Terry placed a hand on the small of her back, making her jump then tense up. "I won't hurt you, you know that." He whispered next to her ear. Kagome turned her body around slowly and stared into Terry's ice blue eyes. Resting her hands on his chest she brought one up slowly, and raked her hand through his hair before bringing it down to rest on the side of his neck. Terry slowly descended his head to hers and paused an inch above her lips. Kagome inhaled sharply as one of his hands came up to cradle her face as the other one rested on her hip. "Terry…" she murmured before his mouth captured hers. Kagome gasped at the intensity behind it before bringing both hands down to the hem of his shirt and beginning to tug it up. Terry broke the kiss long enough to toss his shirt to the floor and pulling her black low cut dress shirt off and throwing it down by his. Terry backed Kagome up until her knees hit the bed before he gently lowered her down onto it.
Kagome gasped as Terry broke the kiss and began to slowly kiss down her jaw and throat. Terry nipped and sucked at her neck as Kagome's hands began to tug at his hair. "I'm sorry, I'm moving too fast." He said placing his forehead onto hers. Kagome licked her lips and opened her mouth. "No, you're just not moving fast enough." She said pushing him up so she could take off her white short sleeved under shirt. Terry closed his eyes, kissing her before placing his hands on her shoulders, pushing her onto the bed. "Kagome, what happened to your left shoulder?" he asked looking at the bandage he felt under his hand. Kagome gasped then bit her lip and looked away from Terry's face.
"Kagome? What happened to your shoulder?" he asked again. Kagome sighed and looked back into his face sadly. Terry stared at her before sitting up and looking like he was in deep thought, eyes closed and lips pursed.
Psiren gasped as she felt something tear at her shoulder before something caught her around the waist and crashed through the top of the disappearing vine dome.
Terry gave an angry chuckle before climbing off of the bed. "I was going to tell you…" she said quietly. "Get out." He ground out. "Terry, I'm sorry." Kagome said in a mildly pleading voice. "I was wondering why you were acting weird around me. Get your clothes and get out." He said. Kagome sighed and quickly put her two shirts back on before walking past him. "I really was trying to figure out how to tell you. I'm just sorry that you had to find out this way." She said before turning and walking out of the room. Terry sighed and ran a hand through his hair before walking over to his door and closing it. He rested his head against it and closed his eyes, Kagome's sad hazel eyes being the only thing he saw. "Oh, now how much more pitiful can you get?" a new, familiar voice said in a mocking tone from behind him. Terry's eyes shot open and he spun around to face the voice.
