*Gyutaro's POV*
Hiding in the shadows, watching the crowd walk by. Y/N observed each person carefully, trying to decide what to pick but struggling. "How do you pick one?" She whispered quietly. I remained quiet, thinking carefully how to respond.

She nudged at my arm softly, looking up at me expectedly. I couldn't help but smile at her softly as I came up with my answer. "Their smell. I enjoy the humans that are drunk. Their blood becomes more flavorful and it makes me feel...." Now I was stuck, what word do humans use. It's always strange to me but it makes sense.

"Tipsy?" I give her a toothy grin "that's the one! Demons do not have a way to get drunk. The alcohol alone is not pleasant but when a human drinks enough of it, I am able to feel a similar effect." She places her hand on her chin, thinking quietly.

I took the time to notice her features some more. She had freckles along her cheeks, long orange hair, fierce green eyes. Her body looked frail but she was strong. Her lips....kissable.

Wait.

I shake my head, causing her to look at me confused and question. "Are you okay?" I laugh nervously, trying to shake the thoughts out of my head. "Yes, just haven't eaten in a few days." She tilted her head, "why? Daki has plenty of women stored and not only are your strong enough but also fast to grab anyone."

I slowly blinked, she just complimented me....I think....

"I....um...." She smiled softly, melting my heart. She patted the top of my head gently, ruffling my hair. "It's okay Gyutaro" I pushed her hand away, feeling my face warm up in embarrassment. I felt her eyes on me, what could she honestly be looking at? There's nothing about me that could attract her.

*Y/N's POV*
Everything about this demon, he intrigues me. He's ruthless, deadly, a killing machine, but after looking past all of that...he has a unique charm, he has a soft side towards his sister, I find his birth marks attractive. I find him attractive.

"You need to focus on your first killing...." He pulled me out of my thoughts. I opened my mouth to protest that it wasn't my first killing but he just gave me a stern look to not start. He started walking ahead and all I could do was glare at him. 'He needs to eat something before I fight him....'

I followed him closely in the alley, searching for my first victim as we remained in the shadows. "Children are too chewy, they're much harder to eat. If you're a big eater, I would suggest someone with extra meat on their bones. If you're a light eater, like Daki, someone skinny."

Hearing the word children come out of his mouth caused for concern and he caught on quickly "like I told you, I prefer humans who are drunk. Not children. This is your first hunt, I needed to simplify it more. And one day you'll have your preference." I released the breath I was holding. It never crossed my mind that demons actually ate children.

I focused my attention to the crowd once more, observing every person who walked by. A man stood out, he was obviously drunk. He was flirting with a group of women who were clearly uncomfortable. I nodded my head in the direction of the man and Gyutaro followed. "A handsome guy...." I look over to him, noticing his teeth were clenched.

'What is wrong with him? I know Daki adores beautiful people but does he have a hatred towards them?'

I look back towards the man "I don't care about his looks. It's his actions that I despise" this seemed to catch Gyutaro off guard. "He's drunk....you might not enjoy what he tastes like." Now it was my turn to get upset "I don't care. Just....watch my back...."

*Gyutaro's POV*
I watched her storm off, but the moment she entered the crowd, she appeared more lady like. She approached the man slowly, placing a delicate hand on his shoulder. I reached for my sickles, not enjoying the fact she was getting friendly with him AND he was getting her attention.

He eyed her body, approving her. He grabbed her hand and yanked her towards him. Whispering something in her ear. She acted bashful, pushing him away and started walking back towards me.

I walked deeper in the alley, keeping myself hidden from the man as they entered. "So pretty lady....is this where you wanted to take me?" He slurred his words slightly. Y/N giggled quietly, walking further in. "It's my first time sir, I don't want people to see me...."

The man had a smug face, following closely behind her. "I promise I'll be gentle little lady" he grabbed her wrist, catching her by surprise as he yanked her toward his filthy body, releasing her arm and grasping her thigh. I watched as he started loosening the belt around his waist as he was rubbing her thigh.

The scene before me was making me sick. The way he was touching her, the way she was allowing it. I wanted to leave but I was afraid she would get hurt. Her next sentence though, not only shocked me but also the man.

"Oh don't worry....." her claws extended, her aura completely changing. "I won't be gentle with you!" Before the man had a chance to blink, his heart was within her grasp. He looked up at her, fear within his eyes and she smiled down at him. "D...d-demon....."

The man collapsed. Y/N looked at the beating heart that was slowing down within her grasp. She was memorized by it. I watched as she slowly leaned in, taking her first bite of a human organ.

I stood up slowly, hearing a satisfying 'hum' from her. "What do you think....?" She turned around, eyes glistening "this is.....really good.....but at the same time I feel ashamed...." She lowered her arm slowly. I noticed tears forming and reached out for her.

"I'm so torn Gyutaro....." she drops the heart and jumps into my arms, crying into my chest. I wasn't good at comforting but it didn't stop me from trying. I patted her head slowly "there there...."

We stayed like that for what seemed like forever but it was only a couple of minutes. The crying finally stopped and she looked up. I noticed blood was at the corner of her mouth. Something was taking over me as I leaned in.

"How did he taste...?" She was leaning in slowly. "Sweet....it was unique" I felt myself smirk, licking the corner of her mouth and pull away to see her reaction.

She was confused, but it didn't take long before I felt a pair of lips slam against my own.

*Y/N's pov*

I kept my eyes shut, afraid of what he might say or do next. I felt himself stiffen, but it didn't take long for him to melt into the kiss.

His lips molded into mine perfectly, he tightened his hold around my waist with one arm while the other snaked up into my hair.

The kiss stayed simple, but not for very long. I felt his tongue brush against my lips hesitantly, begging for entrance. I allowed entrance without a fight, but the fight between our tongues barely begun. It didn't take long for him to win and explore. He tasted like metal but there was a hint of tang. Something I wanted to get used to.

Without breaking the kiss, he pushed me into a wall, grasping my legs hesitantly, encouraging me to jump. I did so, wrapping my legs around his thin waist. He pushed himself into my core with his own, releasing a quiet growl.

I broke the kiss, panting heavily and felt my face warm. Without a doubt I was blushing. He stared at my eyes, lust filled them along with curiosity. I suddenly felt myself become shy "G-Gyutaro....?" He smirked, leaning in to bury his face in my neck. I felt something wet slowly trail up. I gasp quietly, earning a satisfied growl in response. "Gyutaro...let's take this somewhere....more private and....without a rotting corpse...."

He moved away from my neck, glancing down at the man in disgust but his mood changed once his attention went back to me. "As you wish Y/N...."
