beloved, you are mine (at last) - a Red River fanfic
@lord-rika, @hazukininja for your immense patience and for being the only two people I know of online who ADORES this manga, I hope this brings Kail/Yuri justice ❤
Posted: ff.net and AO3
Words: 1,085
Rated: M or E
Genre: Romance
Setting: Chapter 38 of the manga, in which Kail and Yuri lock themselves up and fuck endlessly for four days lmao (I'm not even joking, that's literally canon)
~~~
The hours blurred. Nothing existed outside of the four walls of their bed chamber. Day and night were one, just as they, rolling their hips together, joined and rejoined again and again…
Yuri always knew Kail was insatiable. The man could never keep his hands to himself, but the days spent in their bed after consummating their love (or was it weeks? Mere hours? Yuri couldn’t tell anymore), Yuri learned something entirely new.
She, too, was ravenous for this beautiful man and the things he did to her body.
“Oh gods,” she gasped, clutching the sheets in tight fists as Kail mounted her from behind.
(Was there really a time that she disliked the idea of this position? Impossible to believe, now.)
When Kail took her this way, he went in deeper, touched places she didn’t think was possible, and oh, the stimulation! Her body trembled no matter how many hours they went at it, only Kail’s strong hands holding her hips in place.
More than just towering over her, a strong, tall leader, born a king, Kail was also quite well-endowed, enough to frighten her at first, but Kail was a master at preparing her body to be ready.
Incredibly, despite desperately needing her, he dedicated several minutes with his head between her legs, until she was a quaking, sobbing boneless pool of ecstasy. His tongue and fingers played her like a conductor with his orchestra; Yuri never knew she was capable of making such noises before!
At first, she was almost tempted to ask him to stay down there, but then he pushed inside her at last and all protests died on her lips.
Yuri used to daydream about her first time, of course, but the fantasies were always soft, tender, chaste.
Kail made love to her like a man dying of thirst taking his first drink from a well.
With a fury, a hunger that could not be satisfied.
When he had taken her virginity, she felt no pain, much to her own shock (she supposed all of the times they had nearly made love before, plus her many hours horseback riding during the battle campaign, had prepared her body in more ways than one).
But whatever pain that was lacking in becoming Kail’s true concubine was quite made up for during the rest of their coupling.
The faster Kail had pounded into her, the more savage his desire, and soon Yuri was mirroring his actions.
Together, they clawed up each other’s backs, pulled each other’s hair, overwhelmed in their passion, all of it blurred into one deliciously pleasurable experience, incomparable…
And before she knew it, they were doing nothing else but sleeping and making love.
The hours rolled by and Yuri was swept away by Kail’s adoration, lost in her own love for her beloved king, the waves of pleasure mounting until she would scream and Kail would kiss her so hard, she thought he would devour her right then and there.
She forgot all embarrassment, all etiquette, all protests. She made sure Kail knew how much she longed for more, more, more!
She needed him to know, without a single iota of a doubt, that the choice she made to stay in his world, to be making love to him now and countless times thereafter, was one she would not regret until her dying day….
.
.
.
“Yuri…” Kail moaned now, digging his nails into Yuri’s ass cheeks, causing her to mewl and writhe under him. He watched her ass bounce against himself, mesmerized that such a petite body could be so utterly erotic in this position.
“K-Kail, do that – ah! – that thing– with my h-hair…” Yuri cried out, her back arching back in gesture. “P-please…. AHHHH!”
Her voice rose into a pitch only rarely achieved, a sound that Kail could listen to for hours on end. He tightened his grip on her short locks, securing her neck safely as he pulled her back until he could lean over and kiss her upside down. His thrusts slowed down with the effort, but the deep, slow strokes combined with the strenuous position was one of Yuri’s favorites and he could deny her nothing.
But it was still a risky maneuver held for too long, and he quickly let go, watching her collapse, gasping for breath. She was soaked through, and her gasps were slowly growing into moans of absolute pleasure. Kail knew what to do next: he reached down and pressed her face sideways into the bed and flattened himself on top of her, thrusting faster and harder…
For what seemed like the umpteenth time (and yet, also not nearly enough!), he spilled his seed into his beloved, kissing her shoulder blades as she rode out her pleasure at the sensation of his completion.
“My beloved, you are mine…” Kail murmured into Yuri’s ebony hair, listening to her moans of rapture slowly fade into exhausted panting.
But he had waited too long. Too many times they were interrupted, and now Yuri’s world was gone from her grasp forever.
Her sacrifice would not be in vain, Kail vowed as he allowed himself to doze off on Yuri’s back, caressing her soft skin.
He would make love to her until long after she turned old and gray.
He would worship her body like the goddess that she was, an inspiration and beloved to his people already, a leader in her own right.
Gone was the naive child he had protected long ago by pretending to be her lover.
Yuri, his goddess, his future queen, his one and true concubine, was embedded in his very soul.
“Mmm, Kail…?” she stirred under him.
The king lifted himself slightly to ease the weight, kissing the top of her head.
“At last,” he whispered, turning Yuri sideways so he could gently, ever so gently, enter her once more.
Yuri whimpered at his entrance, still sensitive from their last session, but he was not wholly hard yet. He was only within her shallowly, clinging to her on the side and running kisses down her neck and back.
“You keep saying ‘at last,’ but I think we’re losing count of how many times it’s been,” Yuri moaned back, giggling slightly.
Kail could feel himself harden more within her (and she could too, judging by her sudden jolt and tremulous cry). He cupped her chin and kissed her deeply, starting to thrust again in earnest.
“Beloved, you will never stop hearing me say those words, for you are now mine. At last.”

☆☆ NEW ANNOUNCEMENT ☆☆
Red River 3-in-1 Edition
Story and Art by Chie Shinohara
A 3-in-1 edition of the classic romance fantasy series where a modern girl is whisked to ancient times and must navigate a scheming court and warring factions while trying to find her way home.
Yuri, a modern teenager, is transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakia’s stepson, Prince Kail, saves Yuri from the queen’s bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence, the people of the kingdoms of Anatolia embrace Yuri as the incarnation of the great war goddess Ishtar.
Before she has any idea what fate awaits her, Yuri is ecstatic after passing her college entrance exam and having her first kiss with her childhood friend-turned-boyfriend. However, her luck soon changes. She starts to notice that water becomes agitated whenever she goes near it. One night, hands appear out of a puddle on the street and drag her into the water! Transported to an ancient village in the Middle East, she is then captured by armed troops and taken to the queen’s palace, where an unexpected adventure begins!
Coming in October

Manga Rec #1
Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori: Anatolia Story or Red River for short is a shoujo manga by Chie Shinohara
The Sky Is on the Banks of the Red River is about a fifteen-year-old Japanese girl named Yuri Suzuki, who is magically transported to Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite Empire in Anatolia.
Upon being transported as well as time travelled to Anatolia; Yuri finds out that she was summoned by the Queen of the land Nakia who plans to use Yuri as a human sacrifice. Yuri's blood is the key element needed in placing a curse upon the princes of the land so that they will perish, leaving Nakia's son as the sole heir to the throne.
This manga is unique, interesting and fun. It’s not afraid to delve into the angst and sorrow of the moment when a situation calls for it, but it’s also got a sense of humour that’s quite charming.
And I really really grew to love the main character over the course of the series; Yuri’s strength lies in her adaptability, her will, her ingenuity and always always her compassion, making her a heroine that I truly enjoyed. I especially appreciate the clear way in which she grew as a person and a leader over the course of the series, I was very moved at the end of the manga mostly because of this aspect.
The art style is kind of old fashioned in a very shoujo way, sort of like a slightly more modern Rose of Versailles, once you adjust to it it can be really beautiful though.
And there are adult themes in this manga so watch out for that, there’s a few incidents where antagonists attempt to force themselves on her and she has to fight her way out of the situation for example.
Despite being a historical manga as well as an isekai emerging from right in the middle of the isekai manga boom of the 90′s, (1995 to be exact) where great stuff like From Far Away, Fushigi Yugi, Twelve Kingdoms and Inuyasha popped out - Red River evolved into a manga full of complex plots full of imagination that never failed to excite!
My main problem with isekai (not that I don’t love ‘em of course!) is that they can be boring plot wise once you’ve seen it done before, but with Red River I didn’t have to worry about that because it was so original a take on the concept, and even on the very rare occasions where I suspected what was coming next it was still very well written. To the point where I’d still feel a little surprised at a twist I’d been suspecting for a few chapters - definitely not a rote or formulaic piece of media.
Another thing that makes it remarkable as a story, is the fact that Red River takes place in a fantasised version of the region that would eventually become modern-day Turkey, rather than a totally fictional setting making it interesting in a different way to regular ‘character in another world’ stories.
This story is set during the reign of King Suppiluliuma I, at a time when the Hittite Empire was near its peak of power, rivaled only by Egypt, which was then ruled by the young Pharaoh Tutankhamen. And Yuri while by no means dumb, has not studied the Hittite Empire enough to know what’s going to happen or how to blend in when she first gets kidnapped there via magic.
So as a result of the setting, many of the people and events in the story are drawn from actual history! Including the Princes of Hattussa like Kail the male lead, who is basically Tawananna Nakia’s nemesis before Yuri is put on the board at the start of the series.
Kail Mursili is a great male lead, at the beginning of the series, he finds Yuri running frantically from Nakia’s guards, and immediately realises the situation, he gives her the gift of understanding and speaking their language by way of a kiss. Kail promises to help her find a way home to Japan, while struggling with his own growing love and desire for her. He’s honourable, clever and loyal to those he cares for and a powerful sorcerer in his own right, he has the ability to control wind and air, and is one of the few who can counter the third Tawananna, Nakia's spells in any way - but most importantly he’s got the makings of a great king who’ll love and care for his people, if only he can live long enough to get there.
Red River is full of adventure and court politics in every page, it’s fantastical and epic and unashamedly romantic. Yuri passes from being an innocent athletic teenage student to a champion of justice, there’s something powerful about watching her transformation as a person. Through luck, her modern knowledge and her own hard work, Yuri wins herself allies and fights along Prince Kail in an era where peace was nothing but a distant dream, wondering all the while if she’ll ever get home to Japan and her family.
I seriously recommend that anyone who likes shoujo manga even a little give this manga a chance, it’s a great read.

Favorite Manga (Only) Couples
It's about time I gave some love to some underrated couples (and manga). This was a .... difficult list to make, mainly because most manga I read nowadays typically has an anime adaptation, whether I've watched it or not. Most of the couples here are from my EARLY days of manga reading, but the first two are my newest "manga only" loves. I ended up bending the rules a little because this was HARD sfodxkfskfd
~~~
Kail/Yuri, from Red River
Ryo/Dee, from FAKE
(yes, there's technically two OVA videos for FAKE, but idgaf lol)
Takiko/Uruki, from Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden
Haine/Takanari, from The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross
Najika/Daichi, from Kitchen Princess
Alice/Julius, from Alice in the Country of Hearts
Alice/Boris, from Alice in the Country of Clover
Kagetora/Beni, from Shinobi Life
Chiharu/Ryo, from Girl Got Game
~
Honorable Mention: Manga Couple with an Anime Adaptation, but I've Only Read the Manga!
Sakura/Syaoran, from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Hey! I'm trying to find a name that I like, and I've been going by Kyle for a little while but my gf came up with a very stupid nickname (Kai Kai) that kind of turns be away from the name, but I still like the way it sounds. Do you have any names that are similar to Kyle? A couple names starting with K or Y would also be coolio! Thanks!
Well, Kai is a really popular unisex Hawaiian name if you didn’t know, so you could use that! Some others you might like could be:-Kail-Kal-Kyan -Kwan-Yvet-Yale-Yuri-Yanis
#these are r e a l l y similar maybe i could've switched it up a bit#idk#it's 1:43am give me some slack#mod kellen
