-w- Just cause I wanna mess with him can I have a scenario where Youko Kurama starts to take romantic interest in a human woman, but when he tries to charm her she is completely unfazed and even blows him off?
Strong women are my weakness, fyi.
I’m setting this sometime between Raizen’s meeting with Yusuke’s ancestor and the present. I don’t think Youko would readily venture into the human world, so we’re adjusting the timeline to something that makes a little more sense.
__________________________________________
“I cannot believe this...” Youko Kurama was frustrated, which could be a first in his personal life. He was powerful, cunning, intelligent, sneaky, not to mention incredibly handsome. He could have anyone he wanted...but this SINGLE WOMAN was not going to be swayed easily...or possibly at all.
Kurama normally did not bother with humans - he considered them weak and stupid, and had nothing in terms of treasure or wealth that was worth stealing over anything demons owned.
While moving their camp to a new location to avoid detection, they passed by the outskirts of a human village. Youko Kurama led his team of bandits, knowing the best areas to set up camp where they could hide without being found while they plotted their next heist. Although this time, something - or someone - caught his striking golden eyes. How bizarre...it made him stop only briefly to watch her hair fall over her shoulders. She was giving orders to other humans in the field picking food and plowing for a future harvest. She stood with authority, which was bizarre since most settlements were patriarchal.
“Hey Kurama, what are you....ooooh I see.” Kuronue followed behind Kurama and looked over past the treeline to see what had stopped his leader. “You could have her if you wanted.”
“I know I can, and I may before the week is done.” Kurama licked his lips suggestively, making note of their currently location before continuing on to their empty camp.
It took several days to set up camp and make sure everyone had their roles. Some were to gather food, others were to keep watch for enemies, and higher ranking members were plotting a future heist in one of the bigger tents. Kuronue kept everyone out of Youko Kurama’s tent, claiming he was very busy. But only he knew that the tent was empty, and probably would be for the rest of the night.
Kurama had returned to the spot where he spotted the woman a few days prior. It was late evening so everyone must be in their homes, either asleep or turning in for the night. He had no trouble slipping past watchmen and peeping into windows in attempt to catch glimpse of the woman. It didn’t take him long to find her home. It seemed she lived alone, no children or husband could be seen. He slipped in through the back door easily and silently.
“Ah, I figured you’d show up.”
A voice nearly startled Kurama in the dark of the home. The woman he saw from the field walked in from another room, candle in hand. She was more beautiful close up than she was far away. Youko Kurama always got what he wanted.
“You aren’t hard to spot, even past the trees, with that white hair of yours.”
“Hmm, how perceptive of you. And how brave to wait up for a Youko.” He stood contrapposto, his tail whipping back and forth, powerfully long arms crossed across his lean chest.
“If you think I’m impressed you are mistaken. I’m only here to make sure you didn’t break anything on your way in.” Her eyes didn’t betray her words. They showed no fear, nor honestly any interest in the powerful demon in front of her. This was...startling, but Kurama didn’t let it show.
“Oh, is that so? I could easily break you if I so wanted.” Kurama winked at her, surely that would get-
“I’ve had a long day, if you’re done you know the way out.” She turned on her heel and walked back inside the dark house, leaving Kurama standing alone in front of the door.
This...this was unheard of! Women and men alike would lay down at his feet, no one ever denied him. He would accept this challenge, and woo this woman into submission; treasure often came in many unexpected forms and places.
