Youko- Love and Tails

(this will follow on from Youko's bio!)

Hope you enjoy!

July 20th: Though I could not take off my mask, I knew she was the one I'd been looking for!
A young girl is like a flower bud waiting to bloom. One cannot help but anticipate the glorious beauty that will blossom.
The tears in the corner of her eyes, and her shyness as she tried to resist my advances, made her even more beautiful.
I took her into my arms, and whispered sweet nothings in her ears. Sleep now, my love.

-

July 21st: You cannot go against fate. I met another who I am destined to be with.
She charmingly, alluringly poured wine for me, as her eyes, deep with emotion, met mine. She was ravishing, wild, as she removed my mask!
Ah, this is indeed the moment of destiny. The rich fragrance of wine, and blood... Once again, I indulged myself in the abyss of love.
In my arms, sleep now, my love.

-

July 22nd: Today, I met the one I am fated to be with. She is different from the rest.

The wind gently rustled the trees outside, the moon gently illuminating the sleeping figure.
'It was as though the universe was telling me we were destined.'
Youko stood over her, his claws outstretched.

"Oh how beautiful you look my love, sleeping there."

The spirit knelt down and stroked her face with his hand. He could see her body gently rising and falling as she slept, hugging her tail to her chest. 

"Look at that, my love. Even the moon understands the ways of fate."

Youko looked outside, the open shoji doors allowing in the gentle summer breeze. He smiled at the whispering trees, their flowers falling occasionally. The moon's light gently filtered in through the tree boughs, lighting up the two figures. He looked down at her, petting her twitching ears as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Sleep now, my love."

-

'Why? Why? Why?'
Youko felt himself trembling as his claws were poised above her chest.

'It's very quiet. '

It was as though the whole house was holding its breath, waiting for what he was going to do.  

'Why? Why can't I do it...?'

'Is this a message from fate?'

The fox spirit let his hand fall to his side as he stared down at the figure in front of him.
He gently moved a strand of (brown) hair out of her face as he stared at her. She had come to him, despite all the town warning her.

"That spirit seduces young women to kill them, so he can remain forever beautiful and young."

"He preys on the young, taking them away so he can devour them."

He had heard them multiple times when he ventured out, but they never seemed to hurt him. He knows that they're the truth, after all. The only harm they had done to him was scare away any of the remaining women in the town.

But she hadn't. She had come up to him, asking whether the rumours were true. At first, he had ignored her, but when she kept coming back, he finally noticed how similar she was to him. Her ears kept hidden under a hat, her tail out of sight. When he finally saw them, he became enamoured.

Everyday, Youko would come to visit her. He wished to call her in, as she was another one brought to him by fate, right?

She was like him, a spirit that had been oppressed and misunderstood. She was the perfect one for him.

But then why...?

Why couldn't he kill her?

I hope this was what you wanted?
