I have a couple theories:

1. Beyond the Boundary wished to be human. Similar to the premise of Steven Universe, the youmu gave birth to a half human son in an attempt to fullfill this dream, living half it's life within Akhito. Yayoi, having been implied to be a Gatekeeper with great power, granted this wish (she seems capable of granting such a wish as she did turn Kuriyama's mother into a ring so she could protect her daughter). Yayoi probably saw it as a chance to contain the powerful demon and thus became Akhito's mother.

2. It could be possible that Yayoi is half-youmu herself. Possibly a form with better control over her powers (possibly from overcoming her own demon). And since it is said that she might be the Gatekeeper between two worlds, it would make sense if she were comprised of both halves of the worlds she overlooks. And Akihito is immortal so maybe...just maybe...these half-youmu are meant to be a bridge between the worlds, almost like gods, and Yayoi could've given birth to Akihito so that he could be her successor. It's a rather far fetched theory but it would explain why Akihito is so powerful and why he is immortal and why he's half-demon.

3. Yayoi mentions that she is breaking rules by getting involved which could suggest other powerful Gatekeepers like her setting these rules or even a high order more powerful then her. Or it could just be her referring to the fabric of the universe and by tampering with it there could be consequences. Either way, there is a lot more to the story that isn't being told.
