A/N: This is my very first fan fiction. Hope y'all like it!
Chapter 1: Valentines
"Yato! Oy, wait up!"
Hiyori called but was given no response. Several meters away from her was Yato, busy making a crane origami. She quickly paced and patted his shoulder, peeking at his work.
"What's that for?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Hmph, Hiyori, just you watch. I'll make a thousand of these and wish that I'll have billions of followers! Hah hah hah!" He laughed hysterically. Hiyori just watched him, wondering of how he could believe such thing. Sometimes she even wondered why she liked this childish, good-for-nothing, useless god. She even wondered how Yukine could keep up with him. Speaking of Yukine...
"Hey, Yato, where's Yukine?" she asked.
"Ah, he said he'd check the store over there. Don't worry, I'll know if he did something again." He clicked his tongue. She walked to the direction Yato gave her and ended up at a chocolate store.
Why would he go here? He could've asked me for some choco if he wanted some.
She walked around looking at those chocolate cakes, with chocolate syrup dripping.
Gee, I want some. She walked and walked looking at the chocolate bars that she didn't notice someone running in front of her.
Oof!
"O-ouch!" The blonde guy said, patting his own head.
"Y-Yukine?" She said as she noticed his green jacket and orange gold eyes.
"Ah! Hiyori. Why are you here?" He asked.
"I'm searching for you. C'mon, why are you 'ere anyway?"
Yukine blushed and quickly averted his eyes away from her.
"N-nothin' much. Just checking the choc'lates. Anyways, Valentines' day is near, huh?" He quickly said. Hiyori smiled.
"Yeah. It's not very important, though. I wonder if there's a god of love."
"Maybe there is. Like, you see, Cupid, Valentine, Venus."
"Idiot, those are just stories." she laughed. Yukine seemed to laugh nervously.
Valentines, huh?
"S-Say, Hiyori, d-do you have plans for Valentines' Day?" He stammered, blushing lightly.
"Nuh-uh. Why?" She replied innocently.
"Well, uh.. You see.. Could we go shopping together? J-just the two of us?" He averted his eyes on her, biting his lower lip. Hiyori looked at him, and smiled.
"Okay. No need to get embarrassed. I'll pick you up on Valentines at 3?" She said, rubbing his head. Yukine nodded slightly.
Hiyori quickly ran towards the brass gate several meters in front of her. Yama and Ami are waving and waiting.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" She said right after she halted. Yama patted her shoulder.
"Yeah. no problem. Anyway, I'm so excited for tomorrow!" Yama said with determination. Hiyori thought deeply.
Tomorrow... what was the date tomorrow? Ah I can't remember at all.
"Hiyori? Oy, Hiyori!"
She quickly drew her head to the other girls and found her body sleeping comfortably on the ground with Yama and Ami poking her.
"Waaaaaaaaah! Not again!" Her purple tail straightened up, showing despair.
"Oh wait. Yama-chan, Ami-chan, what was the date tomorrow again?" She said to their backs as Ami carried her body on her back.
"Oh right. They can't see me. Great. I'll miss my class!"
Yato and Yukine were fixing a broken fence as their client neared them with two canned soda in his hands.
"Sorry, you went here very fast to fix this. I feel terrible for giving you two only 5 yen." He said.
"No, no, it's no problem at all!" Yukine quickly said, waving his two hands sidewards. But deep inside, he really wanted to scold Yato for giving him a useless job like this.
I'm no use at all as a Shinki! Seriously, what is he thinking?
"Psst. Want me to use you? Heh heh." Yato blinked at him. Yukine quickly blushed and shoved him away.
"Shut up. Gross."
"Uhh, so here's two soda for you." The guy said.
"Ah, thanks." Yato quickly snatched the two cans, threw one to Yukine and quickly opened his. They walked towards a shade of a tree.
They were almost done with their soda until they heard a very, very familiar voice shouting at them.
"Yato!" Hiyori said as she rushed towards them. She halted few meters away from them and panted heavily.
"Hey. 'Sup?" Yato said after he finished his soda.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yukine asked, looking at her up and down. "Your soul slipped out, did you know that?" he said, pointing at her purple tail.
"I know that!" She said, pointing accusingly at Yato.
"What?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You..." She panted, "Kofuku's been looking.." she panted again, "...for you."
"Ah, Kofuku again? Man, such a pain to meet her today." But before he finished his sentence, the three of them heard a familiar voice, again, shouting at them. Few seconds after, in front of them was a pink-haired girl, hugging Yato. Behind her was a tall, muscular, brown-haired guy.
"Yatty! I f-o-u-n-d you!" she said while rubbing her cheek on his cheek. Yato was trying to push her away.
"Gah! Kofuku! I can't breathe." he said.
Hiyori and Yukine stood there, confused. Hiyori neared Daikoku and asked, "Say, Daikoku, what is the meaning of all this? Is Kofuku looking for Yato the whole time?" She was so surprised to see Daikoku teary-eyed. Yukine and Hiyori were surprised and confused why.
"My lady wants to go to a date with Yato tomorrow. She even rejected my invitation. She said she wanted Yato all by herself." He said, sniffing and wiping his imaginary tears. They don't know how to comfort him.
"Ah! S'rry! Kyah, Hiyorin and Yukki are all here, too!"
"I told you, I won't go to a date with you tomorrow!" He said, pushing her away from him.
"Why? What's so important tomorrow?" Hiyori asked them. Everyone quieted down, stared at Hiyori. She just stood there, unsure of what made them silent.
"Hiyori... You don't know the date tomorrow?" Yukine asked.
"Umm... it's February 13 today, so.. tomorrow will be February 14... right?" She thought again.
What's the occasion? Just tell me!
"Hiyorin, you're so slow-minded! Tomorrow is Valentines' Day!" Kofuku said, hugging her.
"Valentines... Ahh! Valentines! Oh. That's why you're asking him out, right?" Hiyori finally realized. "But, Yato, why are you not accepting?"
"Don't you just realize, Hiyori?! She's the god of poverty! She brings bad luck!" he cried.
"Ah."
"Mou, it's okay, Yatty. Just one date. Pwease~?" She said, waving her short pink skirt.
"I said, no!" He cried and ran towards Hiyori. He hid behind Hiyori's back. Just then a brilliant idea struck his mind.
"Pwease~, Yatty. I even rejected Daikoku's offer!" She pouted. Daikoku was shocked to hear his name and sulked.
"Sorry, Kofuku, I already have a date." Then he looked at Hiyori. All except Yato were surprised.
"Ehh? Who is it, Yatty?" She said, but with no hard feelings. She even seemed happy. Yato smirked at Hiyori.
"It's Hiyori." Yukine was shocked. He looked at Hiyori and saw a surprised and annoyed look.
That Yato... Hiyori, tell him we'll go out tomorrow. He'll ruin it. He showed her a tell-him-you-have-plans-for-tomorrow look. But Hiyori wasn't able to see it.
"Wha-wha-wha-wha..." She blushed intensly.
Goodness, she totally forgot about our date tomorrow. Wait, what? No, no, no, no. It's not a date. Just a shopping together, okay? He shook his head to clear off his thoughts, walked towards Hiyori, placed his left arm around her shoulders, and gave Yato a smirk. Hiyori was surprised but only looked at him.
"Sorry, Yato, We already had a plan to go out together tomorrow." He glanced at Hiyori. "Right?"
Hiyori thought deeply and snapped. "Ah! Right! Yeah, Yukine-kun asked me to go shopping with him tomorrow. But, seriously, Yato, it's not like you asked me out or any-"
"Wrong! We are going on a date with Hiyori, okay? Yukine, back off." Yato demanded.
"What's your problem? I asked her first!" He pushed Yato away.
"But Hiyori will obey me. I'm a god!" He cried. Daikoku and Kofuku watched there, enjoying the fight.
"Hiyorin, you're soooo lucky." Kofuku said to her, smiling broadly.
"What do you mean?" Asked the innocent Hiyori.
"You see, Yukine and Yato's fighting for a date with you! Kya~, you're so lucky." She placed her palms on her cheeks to show happiness. Daikoku nodded, as well.
"So... You gave up on Yato?" Daikoku asked Kofuku with high hopes.
"Uh-huh."
"Even though you know he just wants to escape from your invitation?"
"Uh-huh."
Daikoku opened his mouth to speak, but Kofuku went first.
"Still not accepted."
Ouch.
