Hey guys! Man, I haven't written for the Noragami fandom in a while! These one-shots (yes there will be more than one chapter) is loosely based on a Dr. Who prequel video of the same name. Check it out on youtube if you want to see what my inspiration was. Please review!
Chapter 1: Intertwined Part 1, Hiyori
One day, you meet Yato, the God of Delivery, the God of Calamity, the God of Fortune, and in retrospect, you meeting him was all a matter of luck. You walk by him on the street; you could've ignored him. But by luck, your brown eyes meet his blue ones, and you "save" him from the bus and wake up lucky to be alive in the hospital. Later that night, you hear the voices, the wails and shrieks of the evil ayakashi, and with luck once again, he comes to you. He startles you, chastises you, comforts you, and leaves more confused than ever. You almost forget him, but you're lucky enough to find him. Again.
He's charging at a giant frog spirit with a cat shoved up his shirt, and you can't help but think he's ridiculous. Because he is ridiculous. He's an idiot. So you rush to his rescue, yet again, pulling his hand, running away from the giant frog until you crouch together, panting at the side of the road, the moon casting shadows on your faces'. That's when, luckily, he notices that you're out of your body.
When you wake up from the shock, you smell that scent for the first time. Yato's smell. You're on his back with your face pressed into his hair (to your mortification), and it's intoxicating. It's embarrassing. Luckily, he doesn't realize that you smell him.
You strike a deal that night. Five yen for him to help you stop your dilemma. Five yen for you to constantly bother him. Five yen and your problem will eventually be fixed. He flips the coin and smiles suavely.
Two weeks later, he finds himself a shinki. With your help (accidentally). It's a sword, Sekki, Yukine, the sound of snow, a blonde boy only a year or two younger than you who glares at the world. When you watch the two boys (because Yato, despite his eternities-old aether blue eyes still looks like a boy) walk away, you wonder how people who were so different could work together. One tall, dark, and other-wordly, the other short, blonde, and standing steadily on the earth.
It admittedly takes time for you all to get used to each other. There are fights to be had: Yukine's ablution, the battle against Bishamon, Yato's disappearance to Yomi, not to mention Father. But your bonds grow, strengthen, and you start to realize it's not luck that drives your countless interactions with the now God of Fortune, but fate.
It was fate that you saved him. It was fate that he saved you. It was fate, forever and always, and as you watch Kofuku tie together your plaque to his, you hear his voice rushing through your head:
"Hiyori Iki, may our fates be forever intertwined."
