Just a little drabble I thought up...I hope you like it, and I hope you're smart enough to know without being told that I don't own Inuyasha...guess I've told you now, though, so now you definitely need to know.

Kagome closed her notes, looking over to where her beloved hanyou was sitting on her bed. The assignment had been to write about something she was scared of. She couldn't put that she was scared of Naraku entering her world or killing her friends, so she had chosen her fear thst she would always be second best.

The assignment had made her think, and she turned and asked Inuyasha, "What are you most afraid of?"

He told her he wasn't scared of anything, but, in his mind, he saw himself at the bottom of the well, unable to get through. Then he saw Kagome, laying lifeless in his arms, her blood soaking both of them, staining his hands.

He told her he was too strong to be scared of anything.

He lied.
