   Summary

   Aoi had never found the courage to ask whether he’d had been with anyone before, or how he even knew what he was doing — was it all just pure instinct? Or when they were in the entertainment district with Lord Tengen, had there been an Oiran beautiful and persistent enough to lead him from boyhood into manhood?
   Maybe she didn’t even need to be persistent — maybe Inosuke simply came and took what he wanted, like he always does.
   He had never forced her to do anything - he only acted, and, if wasn't yelled at, just wouldn't stop.

   OR

   Inosuke is helping Aoi to overcome her fears while dealing with his own battles and the aftermath of his choice to ignore them
