I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OR BATMAN AND NEVER WILL. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.

I ONLY OWN MY OC'S (SYDNEY AND ASHLEY)!

Lo and behold! I have returned with a chapter! MWAHAHA! *tries to make voice deeper but fails miserably*

Ahem. Anyways, before I get on with this chapter, I'm just going to say, it's pretty anticlimactic(and short). I figured there had to be several fillers before getting to the good stuff.

Also, screw what I said in the previous chapters because, while I do have a full plot in mind, I have no stinking clue how I'm going to write it, so yeah... *chuckles sheepishly* Besides, it's my first work published online so might as well, try to experiment and take my time, right?

Oh, and one more thing...

HOLY MOLY, YOU GUYS! I WAS HIT IN THE FACE WITH SO MUCH LOVE! YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME! *AGGRESSIVELY TOSSES CANDY, CHOCOLATE, AND KISSES YOUR WAY*

I would like to thank those who've reviewed my story. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to review it :)

"Is dad alright?" Kagome blurted out of the blue, breaking the silence in the kitchen.

Alfred, the manor's butler, paused in chopping the romaine lettuce and looked at the girl with a frown underneath his mustache. "I beg your pardon, miss?"

Her cheeks were flushed red and she looked sheepish as she watched the large frying pan on the stove heat up."Ano- er, what I mean is, um-"

"Why the sudden question, Miss Kagome?" The English butler tossed the chopped lettuce into a large bowl of salad.

"Uh, well, he's been a bit off lately." Her thoughts began to come out of her mouth. "He seems stressed." 'His aura's been like that for a while, too.'

"Well, he hasn't been making much progress with his business deals as of late." He stated, tossing the mixture in the bowl with a wooden spoon. Five white plates were lined up on the island counter and Alfred placed generous heaps of the Caesar salad onto each dish.

"Business deals?"

"Yes." He began to scoop his mashed potatoes next to the heap of cut veggies. "I do not recall the name, but I do believe he had been trying to form a partnership with a CEO overseas.

"I see," the miko mumbled, as she began to cook the large slab of sirloin on the frying pan. "So, that's what's been bugging him."

Now that she was thinking, she did recall her father telling her that some important guests he had needed to speak to hadn't been present at the gala. "Besides, the ones I need to talk to aren't here", he had said.

"But he has a lot of business partners. It's not like he needs anymore." She argued. Her father had enough money to support himself and two entire families for a lifetime if Wayne Enterprise were to fail.

"That may be so, miss, but there are others that depend on Master Bruce. Take the entire Justice League."

"Oh." Kagome's lips formed an 'O' as she dragged on her reply. The entirety of the Justice League had been founded on her father's wealth. It made sense that he'd need a constant supply of money coming through if he wanted to invest in such expensive endeavors. After all, the members of the League did end up destroying a lot of property even if it was unintentional. "So I guess he'll be coming late tonight?" She mused.

Once the meat had been cooked a little underdone, the miko slid the slab of sirloin from the pan onto the cutting board in front of Alfred, so he could take care of the rest.

"Why don't you take a look at the number of plates, Miss Kagome?"

Doing as she was told, when the miko counted 5 platters of food, she giggled. "I guess it's safe to assume you threatened him?"

"I simply told him if he skipped supper, there'd be no white chocolate cookies with cranberries for a month."


That's all for today folks! Hope you all enjoyed the chapter!

And if there are any mistakes I missed, don't hesitate to point them out. Your constructive criticism is very appreciated!
