They snuck into his room, Keiko clad in a new silk yukata. Yusuke caught one of the tanuki and whispered "don't disturb us, got it? I want this whole floor empty."

The little creature nodded and scampered down the dim hallway. Keiko blushed. If his servant knew why they wanted to be alone, he didn't comment.

Yusuke dropped backwards on the plush futon. Keiko averted her eyes. His every movement possessed a powerful kind of grace, like the prowl of a big cat. "Come here woman."

Her brows furrowed. "My name is Keiko, not 'woman.'"

He let out an easy laugh. "Keiko. I want to kiss you."

Her eyes wandered to the taut skin of his abs, his torso stretched out before her like some kind of offering. Her face colored when she felt a tug of desire below and she hid her face in her sleeves. How could she do this?! True he was wickedly handsome, he was easy to get along with...she stared at the black marks beneath his eyes. He was a mischievous youkai king. Guilt nagged at her. Her parents had died by youkai hands, but then, it had nothing to do with Yusuke. How could she blame someone for the circumstances of their birth alone?

Yusuke slowly blinked at her. "Don't think too much about it. I know you want me." He wiggled his eyebrows. "Take off your clothes."

She glared at him, but untied her obi and slipped her yukata, another gift via Yusuke, down her shoulders. "I'm only doing it cause I want to, not because you told me to."

She let her clothing slide away from her petite frame and she stepped out of it, only her long chestnut hair covering her breasts. Her cheeks tinged pink when he openly stared at her nude form, and she felt a sudden wave of anxiety. She knew some of her ribs showed through her flesh, and she thought she might be crushed in his strong arms. Her village had limited food and her body showed it, only her breasts plump and round with pink tips.

Yusuke eased her apprehension. "You're…beautiful you know that?"

"Thank you." Keiko shifted from one foot to the other, her hands clasped in front of her stomach. "No, I didn't."

His eyes made another pass up and down her body. "Well you are." He opened his arms to her. "C'mere."

She tip toed across the room and laid on the bedding side by side, facing him. His look turned serious. He wrapped a heavy arm around her waist and they locked gazes, Keiko admiring the dark flecks in his irises and the foreign emotion she found there in the brown depths. She trailed fingertips down a scar on his collarbone. "How did you know I…wanted you?"

He smiled and rubbed soothing circles at the curve of her back. "Well…the way you look at me, I guess."

She flushed. "You barely have clothes on."

He shrugged his shoulders. "It's hot."

Cicadas droned in the summer garden. A wind carried the scent of the wild roses into the room, and the air fanned the exposed skin of her back. Keiko bit her lip. "I'm afraid."

"Of what?"

"Loving you."

The Mazoku pulled her flush against him, and some of his hair tickeled her nose. His mane smelled like a forest, damp earth and musk. "Me too…I fight, not..love 'an all that. But you Keiko, I'll protect you no matter what."

She smiled against him. Her heart swelled with emotion. She never felt so safe in her life. "Ok."

"I 'wanna…," his voice turned husky. "I wanna make you feel good."

She nodded her assent. A tingle of excitement zipped through her body.

He kissed her full on the mouth. The ferocity surprised her, though she didn't stop him. She whimpered, but he cradled her like glass, and stroked her back with small movements. The tension fled her shoulders and wound between her legs when his tongue flicked across her lips. Keiko deepened the kiss and twined her hands around his neck, into his thick mass of hair. His tresses were rough like the mane of a horse.

Keiko's head spun. She was kissing a youkai! No, she corrected herself, she was kissing Yusuke.

The girl's lips felt like silk against his own, and he inhaled her scent of lavender and sweetgrass. She fit perfectly in his arms, fragile, as if he had caught the delicate form of a bird, whose heart pattered anxiously in his grasp. His body, his instincts screamed at him to pound her into the bedding, but he shoved those thoughts away, though his will remained unsteady. This girl riled his demon blood; he wanted to trace his tongue along every part of her body, every spot of vulnerable flesh.

His grip on her tightened. They parted for air. "Wait," he growled. "You get on top."

Keiko peered at him, her eyes glazed over and heavy with long lashes. "Why?"

He dipped his head down and kissed her again, ravishing her lips with his hot mouth. She tasted like heaven and he forced himself away. "Easier. So I don't. Hurt you."

He resumed his worship of her skin, peppering her jaw and the pale flesh of her neck with kisses. A low moan escaped her throat and she cast her head back, granting him easier access. Her womanhood ached for his body. She had never known she could feel like this, her flesh lost in a haze of pleasure. Moisture pooled between her thighs. "Ok, ok." Her voiced sounded foreign to her own ears. She lightly shoved his chest. "Yusuke. I'll get on top."

He released his hold on her and rolled over onto his back. His hair cushioned his frame like ink black darkness. He kicked off his hakama and excited Keiko with his bare, muscular thighs. Very male. He peeled away his under garment and his desire bobbed out of its restraint. The sight of his shaft was enough to shock Keiko out of the fog of pleasure, and make reality sink in. Anxiety churned in her stomach. She had never been with a man. It dawned on her she really didn't know what to do.

"Please Kei," Yusuke groaned. "I'm dying here."

Keiko had sometimes heard the cries and moans of village couples in their huts, or behind trees. Those moments had always made her blush, plug her ears, and give them some privacy; but she always wondered in the back of her mind if she would ever have sex with a man, but she never imagined herself carrying on like that. But if they could do it, it couldn't be that difficult.

She swallowed her anxiety and straddled him. To her, Yusuke looked like a god beneath her, all hard muscle and rough skin, with an angel face. She sat down on his hips, right atop the rigid flesh of his length, and electricity shot up her spine. She arched her back, and moaned, loudly. Yusuke bucked his hips into her wet, aching center. "God Keiko," he tossed his head back. "Keiko do it."

She never would have guessed that she would lose her virginity to anyone remotely close to Yusuke, but the older she became, the more she realized fate was an unpredictable game. She leaned her weight on her knees, grasped him, and covered him in her wet folds.

Yusuke shoved himself into her with a rasping moan, and sat up. "Fuck." He gripped both sides of her hips, and beared her down on him, his length impaling her, filling her as her maidenhood was forever cast away.

Keiko groaned, both in pain and pleasure, her legs on either side of his hips. She hadn't felt overwhelming pain, no blood, no instant orgasm, just his length deep within her, and searing pleasure from the friction with his abdomen.

He sucked on the side of her neck as he pumped into her, one hand on the swell of her ass, one on her side. He lavished the junction of her neck with kisses and teeth, her hard nipples pressed into his chest and alight with tingling pleasure. He dug his fingers into her skin.

His movements became more ragged, and Keiko let the delicious tension in her core unwind with every stroke. She met his thrusts with equal passion, harder and harder each time, until her muscles clenched around him, her toes curled and euphoria spread through her womanhood and set even her very pores on fire. She cried out as Yusuke climaxed inside her, clutching her form to him, spots of blood trickling down her neck. He licked it away before she even noticed and she moaned into his hair, liking the pain mixed with paradise.

She melted against him, ears ringing. She panted, wetting his throat with her breath.

Fluid dropped down her legs, sticking to her inner thighs. The room held the musk of sex. Her legs trembled from the exertion.

Despite herself, Keiko smiled and ran her tongue along his earlobe. "Lets go again, demon."

An owl cried in the distance, a crescent moon visible through the trees. Yusuke lay with Keiko wrapped in his arms, their legs entangled together, a sheen of sweat on Yusuke's broad chest, Keiko's hair slightly tangled at her neck.

Keiko pressed her neck with her fingertips. The skin felt bruised and sore, and she thought she had felt teeth at some point during their love making.

Yusuke's expression turned guilty. He planted a kiss on her cheek. "Sorry. Guess I got carried away."

"It's ok. I liked it." Keiko blushed and pulled the covers above her chest. A full grin spread across the Mazoku's face.

"Glad I didn't suck. Ya know, that was my first time."

Keiko stared at him. "Really? But you're so..so handsome."

Yusuke shrugged, sending her a broad grin. "Thanks. Human women are terrified of me. You're the first one who isn't. And demon women, well, seems to me like they're either crazy, or butt ugly."

Keiko giggled and Yusuke realized he liked the sound of her gentle laughter. "Youkai women have weird mating rituals too. I ain't got the patience for that shit."

She laughed again, and laid her head on his chest. "You're my first too."

Yusuke blushed but didn't know how to respond. He just held her against his chest and listened to the pattern of her heartbeat. The rain outside picked up again and they both lapsed into sleep, and Keiko dreamed of soft grass and blue skies.

A/N: Hope it wasn't rushed. When I wrote this story originally I wanted Yusuke and Keiko's relationship to parallel the one of Raizen and the human woman. I wish I had tanuki to clean my house.

Also fyi your ribs don't have to be visible for you to be beauitful, js. But if they do, that is fine too. All women are beautiful. It's just appropriate for my story since Keiko is from a poor, farming village. Thank you so much for reading and enjoying my story! Write those YuuKei fics please!
