Word Count: 100

Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #11: Dirge

Though her body responded to his advances, Kagome’s mind did not. She knew without being told that he was attempting to forget his pain by losing himself in her body, understood that was why he slept around, and knowing this made her heart ache for him more.

When he tried to nuzzle the front of her robes open, she wrapped her arms around his head, sank her fingers in his hair, gently stroking, and began to hum a soft, sorrowful melody she had sang to her baby brother when their father had passed away.

She felt his body grow still.

CLIFF NOTE #1: Yes, Kagome was physically aroused by what Ahahito was doing, who wouldn't get turned on by a sexy man's touch? This does NOT make her a slut, just a normal young woman who can feel pleasure just as much as the next girl.

CLIFF NOTE #2: Though she was sexually aroused, she was not mentally in the moment. The body can react to pleasurable stimuli without being mentally in the moment for various reasons.
