Moonlight Shadow by ButtButtDoodle

Bathed in Light

On the rare days when she bothered to think about it, never in her wildest dreams did Kagome Higurashi imagine this was how she would end up losing her virginity.

The smell of fear and thrill was pungent in the air of the cramped dressing room. She was shoved roughly against the wall, her back thumping painfully against the tatami-covered surface in a way that was sure to leave bruises. All too quickly he was on top of her, insinuating himself forcibly between her quaking legs. With a sense of foreboding Kagome could feel his larger body tower over her own, covering the length of her petite form. He was breathing too hard, a side effect of the body asking for more air to fill his muscles – the primeval instinct of flight kicking in. She knew his body was telling him to run, but they both understood intrinsically this was the only way to fool the dangerous men looking for them. It was why she had been brought along after all; they had trained for this.

Adrenaline made his body shake, but his hands were strangely steady as one of them grabbed her wrists in an iron grip and pushed her arms above her head.

"We must- quickly before-" he ground out between gritted teeth, and without further elaboration, he ripped her kimono open, exposing her bare flesh to the world. He had already shrugged off his own yukata, sinewy muscles slick with sweat. If she had been less terrfied, she might have dignified the view with an admiring gaze.

Kagome could hear multiple feet stamping beyond the shoji screen of the shop, towards their door. Men were shouting.

The band of rebels was going to find them. They would get caught and their mission would be compromised and it would have all been for nothing. Unless…if they could push suspicion away from themselves in the most universally-understood way possible, they might still stand a chance.

Kagome understood what was about to happen, but her arms still pushed against his hand, the vice around her wrists, in instinctive panic.

His face was suddenly right next to her ear, panting, his pelvis pressed flush against her own. "Be strong. This is the only way. I-"

Kagome never heard the rest. Without further preamble, Sesshoumaru crushed their lips together as the shoji screen swished open, and the room was bathed in light.
