Chapter 1 New Day

Yosuke Hanamura never thought he would die young... certainly not at the age of 16. But if it was for his friends, then it was OK, it was fine. And a thought finally occurred to him.

"Ah... I Died" A Bitter smile now adorned his lips. He didn't how to feel towards himself dying. He supposed nobody knows how to react to themselves dying. Its not like made a manual about it. So, what should he feel?

Regret? Was it that he was feeling? Regret over dying so early? So foolishly? Well not exactly. He did feel regret but not because he died, it was because he felt like he had so much to do... but somehow it felt trivial in some way. Really if him dying would mean that the others would survive, it was worth it.

So, could be it Contentment... Maybe because he felt really calm over the fact that he's dead.

"Hmm... well that's strange..." He Mused. It was really strange if he thought about it. People say if you have regrets when you die, you will feel it for eternity. Truthfully, he did feel regret but that feeling of regret was outshone by the feeling of serenity of knowing his friends is ok and more importantly alive.

He did regret leaving his friends in such a fashion but desperate time calls for desperate measures. And well Yosuke did not once regret his decision.

One thing that occurred to him was pertaining to his current status was his current being "I'm a Ghost, a freaking ghost..."

Yosuke palm met his calm and he groaned out "What am I, Casper?"

Yosuke just sighs and looked around the area that he woke up after his, well, death. It was the cliff that over looked the town of Inaba. It was a really nice and small town and the place itself was peaceful. But that will get boring fast.

"What to do, what to do." Yosuke huffed out. He stood up and began looking at the opposite direction. Well that was the plan before he heard a Roar?

Yosuke turned around once more only to see a gross purple deerlike beast with a dozen eye on its body trying to ram a guy in a track suite? And the track suite guy just seems to jump everywhere and his eyes seems to be searching for something. The Deerlike thing was kicked at the head and was just knockbacked into a nearby tree.

Yosuke just gaped at what just happened "What in the world."

Yosuke Noticed that the Track Suite guy was searching for something but for what he didn't know. But Yosuke manage to catch some of the guy words 'Need to find one...' and 'did not expect this'.

The Track suite guy still searching and was ready to bolt into a different direction until the guy noticed Yosuke was looking at him. The Track suite guy seems to consider something and hesitated.

"What... what are you thinking" Yosuke Muttered because even now, Yosuke can feel that this guy was not normal, In fact he felt like Her, the last being he saw at the end of his life. And the Thing he was fighting, it didn't seem and feel like a shadow at all, it felt familiar and like himself but just more anger, sadness and hatehateHATEHATE...

The sudden surge of emotion startled him out of his musing, he breath out "What the heck was that!"

"He'll Do" A Voice claimed below Yosuke.

"Huh!?" was all Yosuke Could say before sudden power griped his whole being.

Today Was not Yato's Day. Nope, Not One Bit!

He thought this was just a simple delivery job for Kofuku, But no! it had to have some sort of hidden clause too.

"Deliver this to a friend in Inaba, She Said. It'll easy for you, She Said!" Yato gripped out.

"you didn't say that your friend was living in an Ayakashi invested Town!" The God Shouted as he barely dodges an attack by the Deerlike Ayakashi trying to ram him "Damn that was close!"

"I Hate It! I Hate It! I Hate This Town!" The Distorted Female Voice of the Ayakashi was perplexing but what was more alarming was the Ayakashi sheer hatred. It was oozing off in waves from the Ayakashi.

"Damn It, this is just too Dangerous!" Yato silently curse his luck. He didn't have any Shinki at the moment, so the only option was to lure the Ayakashi to a secluded area away from the town and hope he can find a wondering spirit somewhere along the line.

As the Deerlike Ayakashi began to charge once, Yato bolted into the nearby forest hoping that it will far enough from the Town. Of course he was multitasking as well trying to find a a Wondering spirit to create a Shinki to fight this Ayakashi with but to no avail.

"Scree!" the Ayakashi being Roar was filled with malice it was enough make Yato sweat nervously.

"Damn what made this thing so pissed off?" Yato Groaned Out.

The Ayakashi tried to rammed Yato once more with a sudden charge trying to hit him with all its strength. Well, try being the key word, because as soon as the Ayakashi was near Yato, he just sent it flying back into a tree with a kick to its head.

Yato breath in to catch his breath "Damn it this is just to dangerous and not to mention I can't just leave it be, this thing will just cause more and more Ayakashi to appear in this town if I don't do something now."

Yato eyes roamed the area searching for one wondering spirit with in no luck "I need to find one Spirit, just one."

He continued doing it for another few moment and failing finding even one "Damn, I did not expect this place to not have wondering spirit..." he stopped and grimaces as another much more grimmer possibility came into mind "... or rather did all of the spirit get devour?"

Yato heard movement and felt that the Ayakashi was now ready for another round "Whatever the reason I need to move..."

Well that was the plan until heard a voice from above him "What in the world"

Looking from above and save from the battle was a boy, a spirit, standing there overlooking the battle from a cliff side that Yato did not notice in his Cat-and-Mouse chase with the Ayakashi.

"A Boy, In his Late Teens probably 16 – 18 of age." Yato observed "... a difficult age. But he feels calm for a teen"

Yato steeled himself as he felt the Ayakashi presence "He'll Do"

Raising his hand and pointing the spirit Yato began his chant "Thou with nowhere to go and nowhere to return, I shall grant you a place to belong. My Name is Yato!"

As Yato began to create the Kanji for his new Shinki he felt and knew which name he would give him "Bearing a Posthumous Name, you shall remain here. With this name, I make thee my servant."

Yato was already half finish with the strokes of the kanji for the Shinki's name when he felt the Ayakashi was ready to attack "With this name and its alternate, I use my life to make thee a Divine Instrument."

"Scree!" The Ayakashi Roared as it attacked Yato at full speed but Yato paid it no mind because the creation of the Shinki was complete. Revealing the Kanji 昕 for the world see.

"Thou name is Asa, as a Regalia Kin! Come Kinki!"
