"... I see.
But she did not mention me directly by name...
Good.
The stronger brother you say?"

Sesshomaru smirked.

"They think he is a delinquent? They are not entirely wrong.
Thank you Shippo.
Please keep me updated."

This call was tame compared to his usual telephone calls. Somehow he knew it was only a matter of…

"Hello, Shimbun-san, it is always good to hear from the Tokyo Ledger.
Oh? A strange-looking youth in a red outfit stopped a bank robber and saved a young girl from a fire?
Yes, that does sound like the superhero from a few weeks ago, doesn't it?

Yes, we are indeed flattered that they like our productions enough to be inspired by them.
No Shimbun-san, I do not encourage vigilantes,
but... it seems that we are fortunate we have him, wouldn't you agree?
Puppy ears you say?
Children and their imaginations.
Inuyasha, you idiot.
Yes, I hope she makes a quick recovery from her smoke inhalation.
She kept his cap as a memento?
It is good to hear it will keep her in good spirits.
Thank you Shimbun-san"

Hopefully that would be the last of…
Sesshomaru pinched the bridge of his nose as the phone rang yet again.

"Good evening Higurashi-san.
Dog demons are very sensitive to temperature, yes.
Spice as well.
Do not worry, your daughter-in-law did not break Inuyasha.
Higurashi-san, you do not need to worry about them being alone in her room.
No, he understands…

Directly from the bath?
Inuyasha, you idiot.
He would never, no...
Nothing for you to be concerned about.
Thank you Higurashi-san.
Good night."

He hoped the vigilante superhero of Tokyo would not need to make too many appearances this year. And he hoped Inuyasha would begin to understand the modern conception of modesty even more.
