Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #7: Undercover Action

Though he revealed nothing of his thoughts, Sesshomaru was not immune to the cool flesh pressed against his own. Her left side was flushed against his raised knee, his forearm resting against the soft flesh of her flat abdomen, while her back and hips left no space against the front of his body. She was so small, the top of her head barely brushing the side of his jaw. Her body was insubstantial compared to his.

Strange how he hadn’t realized how petite she was until just this moment.

He noticed how taut she held herself, her nervousness.

“Relax, miko.”

Cliff Note #1

Sesshomaru is warming Kagome with his body for a few reasons. Number one, both of their clothes are wet, even Sesshomaru’s haori is slightly damp because water can get under his armor. Two, skin on skin body heat generates more heat and faster. Three, I never said they were in a wooded area so how can they get fire wood? Even if they had been near some trees the wood would be wet from the heavy down pour. Again, even if they had found dry wood, the cave is small. Putting the fire near the entrance will only put out the flames cause the water will leak in a little ways, and if they put it further back into the cave, it would be too close to them.

Cliff Note #2

Sesshomaru is offering his body heat, not sex to warm her.
