Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #5: Breathless

Sesshomaru moved beside the miko and wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing her close to him before he leapt into the air, ignoring her surprised gasp. He stood with her on a branch, high amongst the trees.

Breathless from lack of air after his unexpected jump, Kagome looked over her shoulder, holding onto his arm tightly lest she fall. “What are you doing?”

“The leaves should protect you from most of the rain.” Then he sat behind her, one leg bent, the other hanging in the air as he settled her against his mokomoko, a cushion from his armor.
