Warning(s): Shoujo ai, very close to bordering on being yuri. Angst. AU. Other warnings will be posted as they come …
Summary: Will the love of a priestess and lady knight stand strong against their prejudiced society and tyrannical overlord? Find out in the letters of their forbidden love...
New Author's Notes: I decided I wanted to finish this, even though it is no longer a 30 kisses challenge. I will merely reuse the first three letters for my Sango/Kagome sacred 20 challenge and then continue forth with new letters thereafter. I imagine this will be roughly 10 or so chapters altogether. I don't intend for the fic to be very long, just that I wish to finish something for once…since I started this so long ago and have such a freaky attachment to it… Anyway the first prompt for this is Table 2 #13 haram, which in the context of letter one, this means: "forbidden, unclean." Enjoy. 3 Ai 3

My beloved priestess,

This night I take to pen, for my heart is swamped with jealousy, my blood simmering with passion. I know you do not need, nor want, to hear of this from me, the one who does nothing more than warm your bed as lover, comforts you as friend, and watches over you as warrior.

Forgive me, my lady, but I need to get this out of my system…

I understand that we cannot be found out, for love of the same sex is forbidden, especially if one is a priestess and the other is one of the Shogun's honor guard. I realize I have no right to even think of claiming you as mine, and I can control my desire to brand you as long as he stays away from you. I will keep our liaisons under the covers, but I will not let Lord Inuyasha-sama take you away from me, my dearest Kagome.

Don't you understand what will happen if I lose you? I was supposed to die on that battlefield five years ago. I suffered defeat at the enemy's hand, and it was my duty to save face by taking my life. You found me on the verge of death drowning in a pool of crimson blood, my blood. Why did you bring me back if you were only going to let me die again?

I am a dishonored soldier of the tyrannical Shogun Inuyasha's honor guard…I'm only alive because I, regretfully, saved him…because I am a woman, his whore…as I am yours it seems. Did you save me just to crucify me again? Do you revel in the knowledge that I cannot exist without you? That I survive each day only with the hope for your intoxicatingly sweet kisses of ambrosia? For the warmth of your body against mine? Your head pressed against my heart? I live for you, my priestess…my beloved priestess…

I'm nothing without you…

Please don't let him take my life away from me…don't let him take you away. You're already so far from the grasp of my heart.

Your tattered warrior forevermore,

Sango
