:Fear:
Lightning flashed across the bleak gray-black sky, soon followed by the roar of thunder. She shuddered against the sheets, wanting so badly to cuddle up to the nearest thing, but much to her surprise, nothing was there. She cried as the lightning hit outside her window, her head quickly ducking under the covers. One thing crossed her mind.
I need Inuyasha.
Kagome, a collage student in a co-ed dorm room, needed her room mate Inuyasha.
Slipping from the covers and making it quickly across her dark room, she opened the door slightly. It was very dark and every time she tried to leave the room, lightning would strike scaring her. Finally, once the last bolt hit, lighting her path, she dashed for the room across the living area.
She opened it very gently as to keep the sleeping figure undisturbed. She didn't move, she loved staring at him, but once again lightning, followed by thunder, scared her making her jolt for the bed. She crawled in beside him and smiled.
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha are you awake?" He moved slightly.
"No Kagome, I'm not. What are you doing in here?" He questioned her.
"Um well..." Thunder rolled across the sky and lightning emitted from the window. She wailed lightly and ducked into his arms for comfort.
"Oh you're afraid of storms?" Kagome blushed. Even though it was dark and her face was in his neck, he noticed. "Stop being afraid Kagome. It's nothing to worry about. I'll protect you."
Her eyes lit up and she smiled. "Thank you Inuaysha."
He nodded. "No problem. Everyone has fears ya know?" Kagome nodded.
"What's yours?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "What's it to you?"
Kagome looked up to him. "Because I wanna know... and because I care about you."
Inuyasha brought his lips to hers and smiled. "My fear is being alone. Alone with no one around, to be concealed in darkness."
Kagome frowned. "I won't leave you alone. No matter what I'll always be here for you Inuyasha. I promise." She kissed him and smiled.
"I won't let you leave me Kagome." Inuyasha smiled slightly. He brought his arms protectively around her slim figure. Her head against his shoulder.
"Inuyasha promise me something."
"What Kagome?"
"Promise me you'll always protect me too."
Inuyasha's eyes softened and he nodded. "I promise." He kissed her before lying her head against him again.
"Inuaysha I love you." Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat.
"I love you too Kagome. Always." Kagome felt her heart rise and fall, her eyes gently closing.
Listening to his heartbeat made her somewhat tired. Her eyes now fully closed, her breathing calm, she slept.
Inuaysha close behind.
That night Kagome got over her fears only because she found her comfort in the arms of Inuyasha.
Maybe fears aren't all that bad, only if you have someone to comfort you.
A/N: I do not own Inuyasha nor gang. I own nothing, but the computer I use to type these stories. Don't sue.
