Bruce Wayne aka Batman

The Dark Knight

"Can you tell me something?"

Hazel eyes narrowed behind the mask he was wearing at the rather strange question, "What do you want to know?" He asked warily in his throaty tone.

Kagome huffed, nudging an unconscious body with her shoe, "Do I look weak?" She asked, surprising the Batman as she stared at him, "Is it because I'm short?"

"You were being attacked," Batman answered carefully, not exactly wanting to offend the young boy he had just saved, "The numbers were not in your favour."

"The numbers weren't in your favour either," Kagome said bluntly, raising a brow, "I'm just sick and tired of being protected all the time when I can protect myself!"

Batman didn't react externally, though he was quite unsure of his words internally, "Are you trained?" He asked, wondering why he was even sticking around when his job was done.

This young boy's questions simply intrigued him, he supposed.

Kagome smirked and was on the Batman before he even knew what happened, "By the best," She answered, managing to use the Dark Knight's own weight against him as she knocked him to the ground by surprise, "Those men would have been easy to take down."

Batman let out a grunt, completely shocked that he was taken to the ground so damn easily and by this tiny slip of a teenage boy at that. A few movements later and it was him who was suddenly hovering over the smirking kid, "Don't push me." He warned in a growl.

"Or what?" Kagome taunted, knowing her irritation was overtaking her, "Are you going to tattle to your butler?" She knew she let too much information slip when Batman's lips tightened and began to curse herself mentally.

"How do you know about Alfred?" Batman demanded, seeing the panic begin to appear in the teen's blue eyes before they hardened. He reared back in surprise when Kagome suddenly kissed him and she took that time to escape from Batman's grasp.

"There are some perks to being Sesshoumaru's heir, Mr. Wayne!" Kagome smiled before continuing on her way before she was attacked and leaving Batman surprised in the dark alleyway.

'Taisho's heir?' Bruce thought, standing up and stared at nothing in particular. His lips still seemed to tingle from the surprise kiss and he was completely unsure want he wanted next.

He seriously couldn't want to kiss the young boy back in retaliation...!
