NOTE: I wish I own RK but I don't. Always loved this pairing even though they're the enemy.
Shishio always hated how he looks, no matter what he says to others deep down he just can't accept that something like this happened to him. He used to be handsome even if he says so himself, but now his just a walking burnt corpse covered with bandages, so it always wondered him what Yumi saw in him and made her love him.
"Shishio-sama",
Shishio looked at the girl sleeping beside him, calling his name even in her sleep. She looked so peaceful in his arms as if harm had never been in her way. He knew more than anyone else that she can die by joining him, but nonetheless she followed me and served me. She was never disgusted with him and always looked at him with eyes filled with faith, sincerity and love.
"Shishio-sama? You're still awake?"
"Just thinking about things."
Yumi could tell from the look on his face that he was thinking deeply, she wondered if it was about his upcoming battle with the battousai or his plans to take over the world. But whatever it may be she knew that her Shishio-sama would succeed nonetheless.
"Shishio-sama, Yumi knows that whatever it is, things will work out for you. Please believe me when i say these things."
Yumi was about to give Shishio a kiss on the cheek but
" Yumi, why do you love me?"
"Shishio-sama?"
"Just answer the question"
Yumi looked at Shishio curiously wondering if that was what's bothering him. Well might as answer him before he gets angry
"At first, I have to admit that I liked you for your power. Even from afar I can feel that you are a person of power and I liked that. Unlike other girls, I don't like soft guys that only have sweet words to back them up. I want a guy that has the power to back his words up. Power not out of money but power he gained be he himself is powerful and you were like that Shishio-sama"
Yumi stoped and looked at Shishio who was just staring at her, waiting for her to continue
"Then, as I got to know you better, I realize that i just don't like your power, but I like everything about you. Its hard to explain and I apologize Shishio-sama if I don't make sense but after a while all I ever cared about was you in entirety, nothing else matters but you."
Yumi finished her sentence and refrain from meeting Shishio's eyes. She never really shared to anyone why she fell for him and she never really thought he'd ask. She was nervous as heel and feels that every second passing by was an hour long without hearing anything from him.
"Return to sleep Yumi, we have a long day tomorrow."
"Yes Shishio-sama, you also should take your rest."
Shishio looked at the girl beside him and unknowingly gave a heart warming smile he never thought he could still do. It's a great feeling to have as much power as he does, but it was more satisfying to hear the words that she said. With those words, his worries were gone and now he was more than ready to take over Japan with Yumi beside him.
