Author's Notes: This is my first time posting on fanfiction, so reviews will be appreciated very much. I saw all the stories written for Yatori week, and thought it would be fun to write one of my own. This is written for the prompt: colour.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters. Only the story line.

...

Ami chan scratched her head surveying Hiyori from top to bottom. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…Let's see...Ah! You're wearing your mom's earrings! The ones she wore for her own wedding, right? That counts as something old!"

Hiyori smiled and nodded her head to confirm. Looking over at her mother, she whispered, "Ka-chan, arigatou. They're beautiful."

Hiyori's mom came and kissed her forehead. "Oka-chan's happy for you. I'm so glad you've finally learnt to open your heart again. He really is a gift from the gods to us."

At the mention of her soon-to-be-husband, Hiyori blushed. She wondered at her mother's choice of words. A gift from the gods indeed. She had met him at the shrine on New Year's Eve, two years ago. She had left something precious to the gods as offering for the New Year. After all, she felt a five cent offering wouldn't cover for the impossible wish she had asked for. And that idiot had run after her with it, thinking she had dropped it unintentionally.

"Hiyori, Hiyori?"

"Hai, oka san?"

"I was just saying your wedding dress can be your something new."

"Oh! Yeah." She looked at the exquisite gown that her family had bought for her, and felt a sense of excitement. "I'm getting married!"

Yama chan squealed, "Yes you are, my beautiful Hiyori! Who would have thought you'd outgrow Touno sama one day?"

Hiyori pouted, "I still love Touno sama, humph! You can love two people at once you know?"

"Hahaha, don't let your future husband catch you say you love a wrestler!" Yama chan laughed. "Now, let's see all you need is something borrowed and something blue."

Hiyori grew pensive at that remark. Haltingly, she said "I only need something borrowed actually. I already have something blue."

"Hmmm?"

Very gently, Hiyori took out a teardrop shaped pendant from underneath her dress. "It's this necklace. I've had it ever since…" she trailed off.

"Woah! This is gorgeous. What stone is this? The blue is sooo beautiful and unearthly somehow! Who gave this to you? " Yama chan exclaimed.

"Yama chan! Stop being so rowdy next to Hiyori. You'll ruin her dress!" Ami interjected. "Hiyori... the necklace goes really well with everything. That can definitely be your blue item." Smiling, she continued, "How long have you had it? I've never seen it on you."

"I've had it since high school..." Hiyori opened her mouth to say more, but thought better off it. What good would it be to tell her friends that she had shown them the very same necklace twice before? It was strange that although she's always worn it, most people never noticed it. And in case she pointed it out, they would soon forget about it. Like Ami chan and Yama chan.

"Okay, now to find something borrowed! Yay! Oi Hiyori, Hiyori, are you listening to me?"

Hiyori was not listening. Thinking about the strange things that surrounded her precious pendant had made her totally tune out of her surroundings. Why couldn't she remember who gave it to her? And why did it cause her such pangs of loneliness? What were these fleeting memories of blue eyes that it reminded her of? And why did it feel so... so precious to her? It was almost like a link to another life, a different world that she was sure she had been a part of once.

She shook her head. Noo! She had vowed two years ago that she would move on past those feelings of longing and heart ache. Forget about the memories she wasn't meant to remember. She had even left her pendant as an offering to the gods as she had wished upon them to help her start a new life. She had been determined to let her role as a new doctor fill the void in her heart. Instead, He had entered her life. It was funny how they had met because of the pendant itself.

"You idiot! That was meant as an offering for the God!" she had shouted when she first saw him.

"Oh!" came the confused reply. "But I was so sure you had left it there unintentionally. Maybe the Gods sent me to return it to you? Maybe it's something they want you to keep."

Looking back, Hiyori was glad that he had brought the pendant back. Although her heart still ached when she looked at its depth of blue, there was a sense of peace that filled her as well. She felt like the pendant was her blue eyed guardian that would look after her, protect her and guide her to her happiness. Just like it had guided her to the man she was about to marry, and her new life. She kissed the pendant, and whispered…

...

A pair of blue eyes watched the scene unfolding in front of him.

"Are you sure you don't want to show yourself to her, Yato?"

"Mmm."

"But… this is the last time…"

"Yukine. I'm a god, and she's a mortal. We talked about this when we cut her bonds with us."

"But…Hiyori…Hiyori is…"

"She is happy. Look how beautiful she looks."

Yukine looked at Hiyori spinning around in her dress for her mom and her friends. He felt tears pricking at the back of his eyes. He desperately wished she could see him and Yato standing by the window, wished she could share this moment with them.

"And it's not the last time, so quit being depressed Yukine. We'll always be with her and watch over her. And…I…I gave her the pendant so that she would always have a part of us with her as well."

"She gave it away…"

"As an offering to me at my shrine. Think how much she suffered from having that pendant. It does contain a bit of my life force. It was selfish of me to leave that with her, when I was the one who cut the ties, and caused her to forget. I just… I just wanted her to have a memento of…" Yato trailed off. He couldn't bring himself to say the rest He didn't want to think about their time together, those blissful days when he alone had all of Hiyori's love.

"Yatooo, your eyes are so blue."

"Hmm, what about it, Hiyori?"

A smile, and a swift kiss. "Nothing…" Hiyori had said as she ran away, "I just thought that it's my favourite kind of blue."

Yukine looked over to his master, those blue eyes lost in memories of the past. He wanted to comfort his master somehow. Wanted to tell him he was anything but selfish. After all wasn't he the one who granted Hiyori's wish to be able to move on? Wasn't he the one who pushed that boy towards Hiyori at the shrine, the boy who would soon be her husband? Yukine opened his mouth to speak. He had to say this now, there would never be another time. "Yato… you'll be a great god you know. And we are all still here for you. Me, Kofoku, Kazuma, Daikoku. Even…" his voice cracked, "even Hiyori. Look how her pendant is glowing."

Yato knew. He had seen her kiss the gleaming pendant, heard her whispered thank you in his heart.

He looked over at his shinki and gave his first real smile in months. He wouldn't think of past memories anymore. He was happy for Hiyori, happy that she was living life to the fullest, happy that she had found somebody to share her mortal life with. And lastly, he was happy that though she didn't remember him, Hiyori still carried a part of him close to her heart.

"Let's go Yukine. We still have a lot of work to do. Now that I have my own shrine, I'm on my way up to becoming a great god you know."

Yukine laughed. It felt good to see his master smile. "Ahh, whatever you say, you stinky jersey wearing God!"
