Kagome breathed in a large sigh as she saw her ideal world crumble once again. Every day, the television, radio, internet and people she met delivered variations on the hourly news report, lamenting the murders, muggings, thefts and assaults that happened daily. It was frigtening really, to know about such horrible things, to have the terrible knowledge that the same could happen to you; that you should always be prepared for the inevitable and that there wasn't always someone to save you. 

Picking up the remote, the traumatised young woman settled further into the sofa as she changed the channel during the weather report, eager to escape the reminders of the harshness of reality. 

The inuyoukai next to her sat up suddenly, his argent hair whipping her in the face as he turned to the window. 

"Pff- Sesshoumaru! What the hell? Do you mind feeding me your hair?'

When the stationary male did not reply, Kagome became concerned.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

He didn't look at her when he replied, his gaze still intently fixed on something outside. 

"There may be a 'mugging' taking place some distance from here."

Frowning, Kagome was just about to ask where so she could call the police, when Sesshoumaru stood from the settee and walked with large strides to the window, opened it, and vaulted from the frame into the darkening sky.

"OH MY GOD- SESSHOUMARU WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU GOING?! YOU CAN'T GO OUT LOOKING LIKE THAT!"

Kagome ran to keep her demon lover in sight, but he disappeared around the street corner just as she reached the window. Releasing a gusty sigh, the miko trudged back to her comfortable seat and plopped back into it, waiting for the inu to hopefully not kill the mugger, return the stolen property to the victim- and then come back home, satisfied that he was a real-life superhero. 

Once more flicking through the channels, she wondered if there were any re-runs of the original Batman on. Sesshoumaru would love that.
