Fear One:

Spiders

"Aiiiiiiiiiiieeeee!"

Inuyasha's ears folded down as Kagome's shriek echoed in his head. He growled and narrowed his eyes at her. She was currently jumping around screaming and pointing. "What the hell are you screaming about?"

She faced him and latched her arms around his neck. "Sp-sp-sp-spider!"

He tugged her off but she hovered behind him with her hands folded in his shirt. "Where?"

"Over t-there," she whispered pointing to the corner of the room. He sigh and rolled his eyes.

"Stay here, I'll be right back." She nodded in fear. He grabbed a fly swatter and peered in the corner. It was empty. "What spider? I don't see – what the hell is that?"

A spider the size of a small moues crawled out from under the drawer. Inuyasha sputtered a few curse words before running back to Kagome, trembling in fear. She whimpered and watched as it traveled across the floor slowly. Their eyes followed its languid movements and gasped when it stopped a few feet away.

"I bet it's planning our doom." Kagome gulped.

"I bet I need something bigger than a fly swatter," Inuyasha muttered.

Fear Two:

Bats

"Move that lamp over there," Kagome ordered lifting a stack of books. They were reorganizing the attic and wondering what to get rid of and what to keep. "Not that lamp! The one your dad put there."

"Is there a difference?" He muttered lifting it. It wasn't one of those stick lamps…it was a really heavy antique one some idiot wanted to decorate with heavy rocks and seashells.

"Yes, yes there is a difference." She replied sweeping out the corner. "I don't know what to do with it so we might as well sell it."

"It's freakin' heavy." He grunted as he set it down in a box.

"Stop complaining," she said with a roll of her eyes. "You're half-demon, may I remind you. This stuff's a breeze."

"Exactly." He stood and stretched his sore arms. "Half being part human."

"Excuses, excuses." Kagome laughed and whipped the curtains to the attic window open. "Let's get some natural light in here, eh? It's a little dark."

Inuyasha's nose twitched. It started to smell strange. Kagome turned around and put her hands on her hips with a smile. His eyes widened when small lumps along the attic's panel started to move. "Ka-Ka-Ka-Kagome."

She lifted her eyebrows in confusion when suddenly a small flurry of dark object flew out from behind her and she screeched. Inuyasha quickly bolted to her and swatted them away, while she waved her arms frantically about. Her left arm came smashing onto his head with the force of a sledgehammer. He dropped like a ton of bricks. She gasped but quickly closed her mouth again when a bat nearly flew into her mouth.

20 MINUTES LATER…

"I'm so sorry!" Kagome had been frantically rushing into the kitchen shouting her apologies while grabbing ice, blankets and pillows. Inuyasha was clutching his throbbing head muttering curses every now and then and laying on the couch. She threw a blanket on him, placed a pillow under his head, and handed him an ice pack. He glared at her.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." She said rapidly. "I never thought you'd be knocked out. I panicked! I swear I didn't do it on purpose! God, forgive me already!"

She threw her head into his lap and sobbed.

As much as he was annoyed she knocked him out, he couldn't help but laugh. She looked up and he wiped a stray tear. "You owe me big time."

"Anything," she whispered.

"As soon as I can see straight again, you'll have to run errands for me." He leaned back casually. "Like right now I want…lemonade. Fetch."

She nodded eagerly and ran into the kitchen. Let's just say that the next few days weren't pleasant for Kagome.

Final Fear:

Ghosts

As the rolling credits appeared on the screen, Inuyasha and Kagome were still clutching each other under the blankets.

"Hey," Kagome whispered. "Turn it off."

"No you." Inuyasha glanced at the remote to her left. "The remote's right next to you."

"So?"

"Turn it off."

"No way! I'll be in the dark!"

"Then turn on the light!"

"You turn it on! You're closer to it!"

"I don't want to get up!"

She reached for his one weakness: ears. "Inuyasha," she said cutely. "Pwease? For me?"

His head started to lean towards her warm hands as she rubbed his ears. He felt all his resolve disappearing slowly and grumbled in defeat. "I guess so."

She stopped and smiled. "Yay! Good boy, Inuyasha!"

With a sigh, he plucked the blanket off and sprinted to the light then dove to her side again. Several moments passed and the movie went back to its main menu. Kagome shuddered as small clips played out on the side and hid her face in the blanket.

"W-well, shut it off." Kagome shivered as the creepy music played.

"I turned on the light," he muttered folding his ears down.

"I'm scared." They both stayed under the blanket refusing to move.

"Let's just wait until the morning." Inuyasha suggested. She nodded.

[1:03 A.M.]

He unlocked the door quietly and then snuck in taking his shoes off. He tilted his head when he heard soft music playing from the living room. The light was turned on and Sesshomaru could see yet again, Kagome and Inuyasha curled atop the couch, draped in a light blue blanket. With a low chuckle he turned off the TV and then kissed them both on the head. He might not show it, but he really loved his little brother and Kagome. He'd rather die than admit it out loud, however. He tucked the blanket tighter around them then turned off the light and went upstairs. He got away with go out for a day and that was pretty good. He originally came back only to check on them and made sure that Kagome would realize her own feelings. Inuyasha was a miserably scared little brat who never admitted anything out loud.

Sesshomaru was determined to make Kagome realize Inuyasha wanted to be more than 'just friends.'

[A/N] Okay okay, I'm very sorry for the late updates. I was going to do this yesterday but my sister booted me off right when I was going to publish this! So if you're gong to be angry, be angry at her!
