I think it would probably be a slow descent into a co-dependent toxic, but almost stable relationship.
At first she resents the fact that you're a wreck without her around like some kind of ball and chain, but then you have a maniac episode when you slip and fall into the bathes and your fear is like the best drug a water-based drowning youkai could ask for. So she starts creating more little 'accidents' for you so she can see you acting all terrified again. When other people at the temple ask, she'll explain it's for your 'rehabilitation' and that repeated exposure to trauma will allow you to build a resistance to it, which is just believable enough to have her skirt punishment. After a few months she's tormented you so much that she's associated the joy of triggering your aquaphobia with the act of coddling you and unconsciously starts giving you affection even when you're not having a panic attack, which eventually leads to the unholy Union.
And unbeknownst to all Hijiri knew the truth the entire time, even 'helped' things along at times, because she's a meddling hag who saw potential in a co-dependent Human-Youkai marriage.
Goddamned hags I swear....
