Because of You
~NurarihyonxYo-hime~
Yo-hime POV
I felt suffocated. My father only thought about money and kept me under tight security as if I was a caged bird. A bird should be able to spread its wings and fly. I however, am confined to a space where I no longer have control of my life. This cannot change. This is my destiny.
At least, that was what I thought before I met him.
Known as Nurarihyon, he is the Supreme Commander of the most powerful youkai clan, the Nura Clan. I have been told that youkai are dangerous, but when I met Ayakashi-sama, I concluded that it was not always true.
The youkai that Ayakashi-sama has introduced to me are all as human as we are. They all have feelings and manners just like we, humans, do. That night, I had a taste of what it feels like to escape from my solitary life.
"Yo-hime, what are you doing?"
I turn around to see my husband, the Supreme Commander of the Nura Clan, Nurarihyon. The light of the full moon illuminates his approaching figure and the darkness around us emphasizes the golden glow of his eyes. "Ayakashi-sama," I whisper.
"Is something bothering you?" he asks, wrapping his arms around my waist, from the back. I reach behind me and lightly place my hand on his cheek. He is always so gentle towards me, treating me as if I am a delicate doll.
"No. I was just thinking about the time when I met you," I answer. He moves his head closer to the side of my head. His breath feels warm on my cheeks. "A-Ayakashi-sama?" As fast as lightening, he nips my left ear and jumps back, laughing happily.
"A-Ayakashi-sama! Wh-Wh-Wh," I stammer uncontrollably. My face was burning up, embarrassed at this act of affection.
"Yo-hime, you are too sensitive," Ayakashi-sama teases. "Try to calm down. After all, we are going to lie together soon." He grins slyly. I must admit, his smile, his eyes, and everything about him makes him extremely…handsome.
"Y-Yes," I squeak, burying my face in my hands. How am I so embarrassed over a small thing like this? We are husband and wife, but I am still…
I lift up my head, only to be face to face with Ayakashi-sama. Our noses were lightly touching, his eyes on the same level as mine, and he had a wide grin on his face. I do not know if my face can get any redder than it already is. He places one of his hands on my back, the other behind my knees and lifts me up.
"Yo-hime, your face is still beautiful no matter how embarrassed you are. The moonlight only highlights your beauty."
How can Ayakashi-sama praise me so easily? He brings his face closer and closer to mine and places his forehead on mine. His golden eyes are shining with affection. Sometimes I wonder if a human such as myself is even suitable to be Ayakashi-sama's wife. I feel like he showers me with so much more affection than I can ever show. He never hesitates to say what is on his mind and I get so easily embarrassed about it.
I cup Ayakashi-sama's cheek with my hand. "Ayakashi-sama, I admire and envy you. You always compliment me and you are never embarrassed about anything."
He chuckles. "Yo-hime, it is only because you are the one I'm praising. Your beauty really is unrivaled." He then closes the distance between our lips, giving me one long kiss.
Right then, I feel protected and loved; loved for who I am. His feelings are all conveyed in that one kiss we share now. He pulls away and smiles at me. I say, "Ayakashi-sama, you make me feel like I can do anything."
"Do I?" He asks, teasingly. His grin widening, he continues, "Then let us go back to the main house, to my room."
"E-Eh?" I stammer. "F-For…"
Ayakashi-sama chuckles. "We are husband and wife, aren't we, Yo-hime?"
Saying so, he, carrying me, dashes back to the main house. I feel like my face is about to overheat, but it does not matter. I love him; I truly love him. He is the one who released me from my prison and showed me freedom. He is the one who loves me for who I am instead of for my powers. I can finally spread my wings and fly wherever I want, whenever I want. It's all possible because of you. My beloved Ayakashi-sama…I owe you my whole life for introducing me to freedom.
