Crying in Silence

"Hey you ok?" Inuyasha asked

No answer....

"Hey you ok!?" He asked again, this time its a little bit louder

She just nod in response....

He went closer and embraced her.....

"I know it's hard for you to accept it Kagome, but-- You know there's always next time" He stroked her hair

"I-I know but, I've always wanted to pass the exam" Tears stream down her face

"Hush now, you'll make someone cry"

"You're not the kind of guy who will cry for some kind of exam" She hissed and cry even more

"Hey stop crying, I swear you'll make someone cry"

"Who might that be?"

He held her closer to him "My Heart"

"R-really?"

He nod "So don't make such things that will make my heart cry"

She wiped some of her tears "D-do you really mean it?"

He sighed "Kagome, I may look strong and unaffected on the outside, but deep inside I'm hurt, especially when I see you cry... It pained me so much... For you to know, I'm just crying in silence"

She held him close "I'm sorry I was just disappointed"

"I understand, don't worry I'm always here to comfort you"

"Thanks" She replied sweetly
