Disclaimer: I do not own Batman or Inuyasha. They belong to their rightful creators and distributors. But I do own some OC's that may and will appear in the fic. I also don't own any songs that might be mentioned in the fic. Those belong to their rightful artists.

AN: After looking almost everywhere on FanFiction(.)Net, there were so few Batman Xovers. So few that it makes me sad.

So, for those who are reading this and what few other Batman Xovers are out there, please, I encourage the idea of any of you writing a Batman Xover yourself. I'll even encourage one that are with Batman Beyond, the old and old movies, and other animated series of Batman.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this.

Chapter Four

Fear was rolling off of everyone, who was present in the restaurant, in waves. The women and few children mostly, especially at the sight of the guns the clowns and their goonies held. The chairman and his assistant were confused as to what was going on, since they didn't really know who the Joker was or what he was capable of.

Not that Kagome was any better in knowing what was going on. She had never seen or heard of Gotham's super villains. All she did know was, aside from the confusion and fear she could feel from everyone in the restaurant, the miko could feel the auras of three people- including her boss- tense, keeping their guard up.

The miko looked to the inakamono as he and his henchman and hench-girl collect the goods of all the rich patrons from jewelry to wallets. She noticed that he started looking around before his sights landed on Bruce and her self. His grin became wider before he started to make his way to them.

Kagome narrowed her eyes, watching as the inakamono came closer and closer to them, his grin made her think of Naraku in the middle of a devious plot.

"Well well, what do we have here....dear Bruce Wyane is in our presence." Came Joker's voice as he continued to walk there way and when he noticed that the bachelor had a lady companion with him, added, "And it looks like he has a lady friend with him! And she's quite a beautiful flower."

The miko inched away from him when she saw that Joker was about to touch her before telling him in a cold voice, "Stay away from me… Inakamono."

Gotham's most insane criminal gained a confused look on his face, clearly not understanding what she had just said.

Bruce who was next to her, couldn't help but let his lip twitch, as she said that, she did have a lot of spunk.

"Hmmm, I didn't quiet understand you deary." the Joker leaned towards Kagome, his face mere inches away from hers.

Kagome's hair bristled with her anger. This guy really had some nerve! Couldn't he take a hint? "I said stay way from me baaaaaka!" despite that her English sounded broken and butchered, it was better than trying to speak to this guy in her native tongue.

And even with her efforts in trying to speak to the guy in English, he still looked like he didn't understand a word she just said. And when he didn't move away from her, Kagome lifted her fist and sent it flying into his face. When the fist made contact, most of the restaurant was certain they heard some bone crack.

Kagome heard a few gasps from all around her; she guessed they weren't used to girls standing up for one's self.

"Well, well, it looks like we have a wild kitten in the room." The Joker said, getting up from the floor, his eyes on Kagome, never leaving her form while wiping off the blood that dribbled from his nose.

Somewhere in the background, Harley gained a worried look when she saw the blood drip from Joker's nose before she turned a death glare at the woman who dared to hurt her Mr. J.

Kagome glared back at him, not liking the look in his eyes, it reminded her of how Kouga looked at her- like a piece of meat.

Fed up with this guy's attitude, Kagome stood up from her seat, fully intending to kick the guy's ass. Before she could walk any closer to him, she felt a hand on her arm. Turning to the one who stopped her, the miko saw a stern look in her boss's eyes before he lowly spoke to her in Japanese, "the police will be here soon, so everything will be all right…"

"but by the time they get here, there might already be casualties and they might already be long gone with what they had stolen." What Kagome had said was true. By the time the police got to the restaurant, the Joker might already be gone with the goods he had stolen.

Bruce knew that what Kagome said was true and despite that he and his darker alter ego knew she could take care of her self, Bruce didn't want Kagome to get hurt, especially when she was up against the Joker.

Before Bruce could talk her out of what she planned to do, his young secretary was already out of his reach and making her way to where the Joker stood up.

But before she could do anything to him, Harley's voice rang out gaining Kagome's attention in time to see the psychiatrist turned clown girl make her way the her with what looked like a…

'Toy mallet…?' Kagome thought dully, wondering if this girl actually thought that she could beat her up with an oversized toy like that.

As the girl came towards here Kagome side stepped just in time and grabbed her wrist and twisted it so it was behind her back. Harley gave a cry of pain as Kagome brought her to her knees.

"Hmm, as I said baaakas....the lot of you." And with that, Kagome raised a foot to the back of Harley's head and pushed down, making the clown girl's face plummet into the floor before letting her arm go. The miko glanced at the three over muscled lugs that also came with the Joker and saw them making their way toward her, cracking their knuckles and trying to look intimidating.

Seeing that this was going to get messy and thankful that she decided to wear shorts and a sports bra under the kimono, Kagome made her way back to her chair while undoing her obi. She ignored Bruce's protests of taking her kimono off and also ignored the looks she was getting from Joker, his henchmen, and the rest of the patrons who gasped in an admonished way.

But after she had folded her kimono and obi neatly on her chair, Kagome turned to the three whom unintentionally gave the challenge. Everyone in the restaurant was silent and staring at her, clad in a black sports bra and tight black spandex shorts that reached just above her knees.

Slipping out of her Zori, leaving on her tabi, and stepping away from the table her boss and their associates were seated, Kagome slipped into a fighting stance that Bruce had never seen before.

After Joker saw that the Asian beauty wasn't going to no attack or back down, he gave his guys the go ahead to his guys to teach her a lesson. One of them then charged, fist reeled back and ready to make some real damage.

Barbara gasped in alarm as Dick was about to help the girl, the boy wonder stopped in his tracks when the woman grabbed the extended arm and threw him over her shoulder, and making the guys fall hard on his back before she put the arm she held between her legs and broke it almost snapping it like a twig.

The guy cried out in pain, clutching his arm to him.

The action was such a huge shock because Kagome was so small compared to the man. But Kagome had faced beings much bigger than herself in the past that weren't human, so taking down a man like that wasn't any problem.

"Nani, can't take me on?" Kagome smirked, as she saw another of the gooneys come her way, she ducked, and brought her leg and swiped it under his feet. When doing so someone came behind her and held her, his arm around her neck.

"Hmmm, you think that's going to stop me?" Kagome elbowed him in the ribs, making him loose his grip on her, Kagome grabbed his sleeve and did a flip and landed on his shoulders, bringing him down to the floor, with her standing on him.

The big guy she was on grunted before he stood again, almost making Kagome lose her balance on the guy's shoulders. Standing on his own two feet, he tried to grab her feet but the miko jumped off his shoulders with a flip, landing a few feet away from him before he could react.

The sudden force of her movements caused Kagome's hair to come loose, letting it fall like a cascade of darkness. But it didn't bother her.

As the last guy was about to charge at her again, Kagome stood her ground. Once the Hulk wannabe's fist came close to her face, the miko fell back, landing on her hands before lifting her legs and kicking the guy's knees while breaking his kneecaps.

The huge lug fell in pain as the last goon charged at her, intent on strangling her. So far, he was the only one she didn't break a bone from.

'Despite that I shouldn't show these guys mercy… I don't want to give this guy a fatal injury that could permanently take away his mobility. A broken humorous is painful enough to make a man not be up for a while… and shattered kneecaps can take away one's ability to walk for sometime but with surgery and time to rest, heal, and rehabilitate, one will be back on his feet. So what to do with this guy that will make him stay down till the authorities get here…?'

Seeing that the goon was about to wrap his arms around her to squeeze the life out of her, Kagome dropped to the floor again but into a split and made an unfair move; hitting her enemy below the belt.

Winces from both genders could be heard as the victim of the sucker shot gave a high pitched cry of pain before falling on his back, on the brink of tears.

Kagome then stood with a sigh before leaning over the poor guy with a sorry expression before saying, "Gomen ne. You left me no choice."

Bruce was surprised that his secretary apologized for such a shot to the man's nether regions. But one thing was for sure, even as Batman, he wouldn't want to cross fists with her if it meant that she would be taking a shot like that again.

Dick was in agreement too. Sure she was cool and looked like one hell of a fighter but he definitely didn't want to get on her bad side. He actually liked his family jewels, thank you very much.

For the first time in Joker's life, he actually felt sorry for his henchmen…

As Kagome stood straight and set her sights on Joker, she started to walk towards him making the man flinch before calling out to Harley.

The miko noticed the clown girl coming at her again and sighed in exaggeration at her flips and so called martial arts stance. Then the girl clad in red and black charged at her, giving her a high kick, that Kagome caught without trouble. And before Harley could react, time seemed to slow down and Kagome somehow lifted her body using Harley's leg as leverage before kick said clown girl in the face hard enough to knock her out and make her skid close to table holding a family of four.

Everyone was silent as the miko made sure that none of the people she defeated was gonna get up again before she turned her attention to the clown who was obviously the leader.

Kagome glared at the Joker, her lips curling into a smile, as she walked towards him. She was going to make him pay… and his aura was starting to make her feel sick. She also could feel the others around here who were either wondering what she was going to do, or thinking she was crazy. But then again who would be all the way sane when jumping through time and fighting demons all the time.

"Ne Inakamono, what's wrong? Scared?" Kagome asked in her broken English, as she saw a look of uncertainty cross his face. She couldn't help but smile, it was good he was scared of her; she could be his worst nightmare.

Joker looked around the restaurant floor where his henchmen and henchgirl were lying either in pain or out cold. He had never seen anyone take out his men quick than the bat or his sidekicks. No this girl beat them up so quick and without breaking a sweat. Other than Batman, Joker was afraid of this girl, especially with the look in her eye that clearly showed that she had killed before and had survived death itself.

She gave a whole new meaning to 'Beautiful but deadly'. Hell, maybe even deadlier than Poison Ivy.

In order to hide his fear, Joker fought back. But no matter what punches he threw at her, she always dodged them and seem like she's dancing around him. He even went so far as to release his hyenas on her. And even the hyenas were no good. For some reason, they stopped just in front of her shaking like they were scared of her.

The miko felt the fear radiate off of the two animals and slowly kneeled before them and gently reaching a hand out to them. The hyenas inched closer to her before sniffing her extended hand. One of them looked like they were about to bite her before Kagome gave it a scolding look before saying sharply, "Kaganaide." The hyena stopped itself from biting before licking her hand in apology with the other hyena nuzzling said hand.

A soft smile crept on the miko's face as she started to pet them. They may be carnivorous but they were still animals that were raise and taken care of by humans… maybe not good humans but humans all the same.

After giving them one last scratch behind the ears, Kagome gently pushed them aside before making her way to where the Joker stood, reaching her hand out to him and grabbed his neck, before he could evade it while pressing a pressure point, making him fall to the floor unconscious.

Kagome then made her way back to where Bruce was, giving him a puzzled look when he was looking at her.

"Nani?" Kagome asked, slipping her kimono back on. She couldn't read his expression, but Kagome did catch his lip twitch. She thinned her lips, and gave Bruce a small glare.

"Nande mo nai." Bruce said, a small smile forming on his lips.

"Whatever…" she muttered while tying her obi back into place after slipping her Zori on. Really, she didn't understand her boss at all… hell she understood a playboy like Miroku but this guy? It just irritated her beyond reason sometimes.

Just as when she was pulling her hair out from under her kimono, the cops barged in startling most of the patrons with their guns and sudden appearance. Being among them was Commissioner Gordon, who was looking around with surprise because of the bodies that were all over the floor, writhing in pain or was knock unconscious. He was especially surprised that it was the Joker and his henchmen.

There was no sign of Batman or his sidekicks so who was it that defeated the Joker?

His eyes then rested on Bruce Wayne who was with an Asian woman and two other Asian men before he gave the order to his men to start arresting the Joker and to call an ambulance, as well as start questioning the patrons.

Later into the night, after Commissioner Gordon started to ask his daughter and Dick about what happened, Montoya came up to him with the report on the Joker and his henchmen's injuries.

"Both Harley Quinn and the Joker are knocked out cold with Harley suffering from a few bruises and the Joker a broken nose while the other three just suffer from a broken humorous, shattered kneecaps, and…" The Hispanic woman paused in order to stop her self from smirking before she continued after clearing her throat, "a set of bruised and sore family jewels… other than that sir, they'll be heading to the hospital before we can take them to Arkham Asylum or prison."

Gordon nodded to the woman before Detective Bullock came up.

"Have any of the witnesses said what had happened to Joker and his men?"

"We're still waiting for a Chinese and Japanese translator for the some of the employees of the restaurant and the men who were with Bruce Wayne. But other than that, everyone's story is just about the same saying that an Asian woman with long dark hair and rare colored eyes had taken care of the Joker and his guys while also taming his Hyenas."

"Then why do you need a Japanese translator?" Gordon asked.

"Because Bruce Wayne's secretary can't speak or understand very much English and she's more comfortable speaking Japanese than she is Chinese." Bullock answered before pointing out to the young woman, "She's in the robe-like dress, standing next to Wayne. She's also the one they say who had taken care of the Joker."

Seeing who he was pointing to, Gordon nodded before telling him that he would take up her and Bruce's sides of what happened before they got there.

Kagome sighed as she and Bruce were seated and a couple officers and a woman sat down at the table. She could tell, this was an interrogation.....oh well she did just take down a villain, so it was expected they would want to know how she did it.

The woman smiled at her, "So why don't you start my telling me your name." Kagome looked up and blinked, so that is why she was here, a translator....hmmm, least she would understand her, unlike that stupid makeup freak. Kagome's eye twitched just thinking about him.

"My name is Higurashi Kagome, yoroshiku." Kagome could tell this was going to be an interesting interview.

"You too, Higurashi-san. My name is Nakara Saira, and I am going to translate the answers and questions for the police." The woman bowed her head in greeting, and Kagome did the same.

The translator translated the questions and answers back and forth with Kagome answering truthfully in giving the details of what had happened and how she fought the Joker and his men. When Saira translated her story, word for word, Bullock spoke, "I don't believe a word of this. It had to be someone else. There's just no way someone as small as her could've beaten up the Joker, let alone his three muscle heads AND tame his hungry hyenas."

When Saira looked a little nervous, she soon noticed Kagome's eyes narrow slightly, like she had an idea that Bullock didn't believe her while Bruce told them that Kagome was telling the truth and that he and many others in the restaurant saw her fight the joker and his men on her own.

"Oh yeah, Rich boy then where's the proof?"

Kagome raised a brow when she heard one of the few English words she understood come out of the big guy's mouth. This guy wanted proof, aside from the countless witnesses that were present in the restaurant?

The miko gave a sigh before asking, "Proof? What more proof do you want, other than the countless witnesses here in the restaurant that also includes my boss and our two associates from China? If you want solid proof, lard ass then check the security cameras that are set in this place." The one thing Kagome always hated was when people call her a liar.

Bullock looked at her confusedly before raising a brow at Bruce and Saira when he noticed that they were trying to hold back their laughs. Saira let loose a giggle before translating Kagome's comeback to Bullock.

"Wait a sec. I thought you couldn't understand any English!"

Kagome gave a slight frown at him before Saira translated. After hearing what he said, Kagome replied that the word 'proof' was once of the few English words she understood before asking if he was going to check the security cameras for his proof or not.

Once they had seen that the witnesses and Kagome weren't lying, Gordon allowed them to leave with there Chinese associates. Wayne Enterprises' new partners gave their farewells while telling Kagome that they were impressed at how well she would take care of herself. As they parted ways, they were almost bombarded by the press and news reporters.

The drive back to Naiya's place was quiet with Kagome resting her eyes and Bruce remembering what had happened at the restaurant. He now knew that there was more to his new secretary than meets the eye and decided that in the near future that Batman will have to see Kagome in person. He could feel his darker alter-ego just itching to meet Kagome in person.

Driving up to Naiya's shop, Bruce shook Kagome's shoulder to tell her that she was home before Alfred opened the door for them. Once they had stopped at the door, Bruce spoke, "I hope you had a good time… despite the Joker making his appearance."

Kagome smirked, "It was fine, Wayne-sama. Even though I was sorely embarrassed by their lack of fighting skills, the night turned out better than I thought. I really hadn't felt that much excitement since I had moved here from Tokyo." Not allowing her boss to ask anything, the miko poked her boss's forehead in a teasing way before bidding him goodnight once she had unlocked the front door to the shop.

Bruce shook his head lightly before making his way back to the car.

Alfred looked into the rearview mirror and couldn't help but compliment, "I must say, Master Wayne, that young Miss Higurashi is quite the young woman."

"Yes, Alfred… she is…"

"Beauty, brains… she can fight while still be feminine… she truly is your type of woman, sir."

"Well, I do like a woman who can take care of herself."

"Yes, indeed sir… it's just a shame that she doesn't seem to like Bruce Wayne, the bachelor."

Bruce knew that Alfred was right about that. Kagome didn't seem to like any man who looked at her like a piece of meat or just a pretty face that stuck out in the crowd because she was foreign; an exotic Asian beauty. He gave a light smirk, "She might not like Bruce Wayne now… but I wonder what she'll think of Batman…"

Alfred raised a brow, "Giving her an unexpected visit anytime soon?"

"Maybe… but not tonight. But sometime in the near future after taking a look at the security surveillance of The Golden Sea Dragon, Batman will meet with her, face to face…"

Wow, this is close to 5 pages long! I went over my goal of 4 pages!
