A/N: I know I should be focusing on my other stories, but this came into my mind at like, 3am, and I've actually remembered it so far!

Also, I'm not going to be easy on Yukine in this. He's going to SUFFER. Because…I'm me, I guess.

Updates will probably be slow. Just saying.

The snow fell heavily one cold, winter's morning. Daikoku was cooking breakfast, while Kofuku was eating an apple. Yato was daydreaming about having fame, and Yukine was staring off into space.

It was fairly quiet, until Yato's phone went off. He leapt up, took his phone out and said cheerfully, "Hello! Thank you for calling! Fast, affordable and reliable! Delivery god Yato at your service!" Yukine rolled his eyes and sighed loudly, knowing that he no doubt would be dragged on some crazy job.

"Uhuh…okay…sure! I'll be there as soon as I can!" Yato hung up and stared at Yukine. Yukine glared back, knowing what Yato would say next.

"Come o-"

"No."

Yato raised an eyebrow and folded his arms. "No? And why's that?"

Yukine stood up, clenching his fists. "You! It's all you! You're the problem here! You only make people pay five yen! If you increased the price, then you'd be able to get a shrine sooner!"

Yato's eyes narrowed. "My motto includes the word 'affordable'. If I higher the price, what if people can't afford it?"

"Then higher it to only fifty yen! Or a hundred! Either way, five yen isn't enough for us. That's why we pretty much live at Kofuku's – because you can't buy a proper home!" Yukine snapped.

"Yukine, I think that was too fa-" Kofuku warned but was interrupted by Yato.

"No, it's fine. He knew what he was getting himself into when he started this argument." The former god of calamity took a step towards his regalia. "You turn into a weapon. I wield the weapon, slay phantoms, cut ties, make ties, do crazy jobs, and actually earn us a living, however small it is. All you do is turn into a weapon when I command you to."

Yukine's eyes widened, before narrowing again. "And where would you be without your 'weapon'? You'd probably be dead, or using that nora-" He stopped himself short as he came to a realisation. Lowering his voice but using an equally cold tone, he asked, "If I never came along, would you be using Nora?"

Yato froze for a minute, before looking at the ground. Eventually, he mumbled, "If I had no other choice and someone's life was in danger, then yes. I would use her for that only, though."

But that was enough to push Yukine over the edge. "I knew it!" He pointed an accusing finger at Yato with a raised voice. "I get it, don't worry." He continued in a quieter tone. "She's stronger than me, and she'll carry out your every wish with no hesitation. But instead you have to suffer me, who usually argues with you." He turned and walked to the door, head down and blonde hair covering his eyes.

"Yukine, wait!" Kofuku started to walk towards him, but Yato held her back.

"Yato, what are you-"

"He needs to be alone for a while. He'll come back when he's calmed down. I'll go to the job without him." Yato said emotionlessly. All Kofuku could do was watch the regalia leave.

Half an hour later, Hiyori decided to visit them. She hadn't seen them all day, and she wanted to pass on some more of her old books to Yukine. When she walked in, she saw Kofuku and Daikoku eating breakfast, but no Yukine or Yato.

"Hi, Kofuku! Hi, Daikoku!" After noticing Kofuku's silence, she asked, "Hey, what's wrong? And where's Yato and Yukine? Did they go on a job or something?"

Daikoku glanced at her and sighed, putting his fork down on a half-eaten rasher of bacon. "I wasn't there myself, but I could hear it through the walls. Yato and Yukine had a fight, and Yukine left. Then Yato went to go on a job. Neither of them have come back yet."

Hiyori's eyes widened. "Oh."

A silence passed between the three, each stuck in their own thoughts. But suddenly, the sound of a door opening and slamming shut distracted them. Glancing over her shoulder, Hiyori saw Yato walk in, looking angry. However, he brightened up a bit at seeing Hiyori.

"Hey, Hiyori! What're you doing here?" He asked with a forced smile.

"Yato, I heard what happened. Do you know where Yukine is? I need to give him some old books, if you don't mind." Hiyori explained cautiously.

Yato narrowed his eyes. "I don't know where he is. I can hear some of his thoughts, but not all of them. My guess is that he's nearly out of range for me to hear them or something. I don't know if that's possible, but I don't particularly care at this point. He'll come back when he's ready, and he'll apologize."

Hiyori blinked in surprise at the bitter tone in Yato's voice. "Are you sure he'll come back?"

"Yeah. If he doesn't, then he'll be sleeping outside, and I'm sure he'll hate that." He said angrily, before walking past Hiyori and over to the god of poverty and her regalia. He sat down and got himself a plate, before loading it with bacon, sausages and eggs.

Hiyori was torn at the moment. Should she try and calm down Yato, or go search for Yukine? Anything could happen to him out there. She was worried about him. I don't know what to do. If I go look for Yukine, Yato might get mad at me. But if I stay with Yato, Yukine might feel alone. Which should I do first? Lowering her gaze to the floor, Hiyori made up her mind.

Meanwhile, Yukine walked through a forest, making footprints in the soft snow. Icicles clung to branches, and snowflakes floated down from the sky. There were barely any animals around, so it was fairly peaceful.

But Yukine wasn't peaceful himself.

Kicking up some snow, he cursed Yato in every way he could think of. "Damn him! I'd rather be someone else's regalia than that lousy idiot who only makes people pay five yen. Seriously, it's ridiculous!"

Entering a large clearing in the middle of the forest, Yukine was surprised to see someone sat on a stump, their chin resting on both hands. Why does that position look familiar…? Yukine thought hard to think of where he'd seen it before.

Shrugging, he walked forward, but froze as he saw the person's face.

"Ah, Yukine, I was hoping you'd show up."

No…it couldn't be…

"Did you know that if you never came along, Yato would use me instead of you?"

What was she doing here?

"So I realised, I could always…get rid of you."

What is she up to?

"So I think it's time for some…revenge."

Nora.
