I have realized that my entire life is being controlled by my father. I never really cared as long as I become a famous god. I lean back against my chair. I'm eating dinner with my father and Nora. My mother vanished when she had no more believers.

"Son, I want you to go to high school with Nora." I nearly spit out the takoyaki in my mouth. It was so sudden. It came out of nowhere. My father just suddenly decides that I should go to high school.

"W-what?!" I say. I wipe my mouth with the sleeve of my kimono. I hate humans. They're completely useless without us gods. They're always asking for requests. And once we are useless to them, we disappear. That's kind of what I like about myself. I'm a God of Calamity. I get paid to kill humans. "Father, you can't be serious. Humans are horrible!" I complain.

The old man sighs and shakes his head. "Yato, you need to get rid of your habit."

I drop my fork onto my plate, making a loud clatter and stand up. "What habit?" I glare at my father.

"Yato, calm down." I turn my head and look at Nora who's sitting across from me. She's frowning at my behavior at the table. Her empty black eyes flash with disapproval.

"What about you?" I ask her. "Do you want to go to high school and spend most of your hours with humans?"

The regalia presses her lips together in a thin line. "Your father has ordered me to do it, so I don't mind."

I let out an agitated sigh and look at my father again. "I don't know what habit you're talking about, but I don't care. What makes you think that I'm going to be in a room filled with gullible humans?" I cross my arms and turn my head away from Nora and my dad in a defiant way. "High school is a waste of my time."

My father stands up and glares at me. "Your habit of hating humans needs to be fixed, Yato. How are you going to learn how to take a human's request if you hate them?"

I look at Nora, my eyes begging her to disagree. "He is right, Yato. You do need to get that habit fixed." As Nora takes a napkin from the table and lifts it to her mouth, her sleeve slips down. I could see her different names on her arms in red ink. She properly wipes sauce away from her mouth with the napkin.

I roll my eyes. "Why do you always take his side?"

"Because I'm always right," the old man says, answering my question that was clearly for Nora. My father was also crossing his arms. He looked annoyed.

"Why should I care about humans? They're the reason why Mother's dead, isn't it?" I saw the frown on my father's face fade away.

"Yato-"

"Shut up!" I seethe. I stomp out of the dinning room and run up the stairs. Okay, so maybe I was being dramatic, but still. I was right about my mom dying because of those humans. They stopped believing she even existed, so she stopped existing. After I rush up the stairs, I run down the hall and into my large bedroom. I slam the door behind me and lock it. I am not going to high school. That place is infested with selfish humans. I sit on my bed and sigh heavily. I never cared about the fact that my father organized my life for me but this was definitely unnecessary.

I hear a knock on my door. "Yato?" It was Nora.

I mentally roll my eyes as I walk towards the door and sit on the floor. My back is leaning against the wood. I bend my knees and hug them."What do you want, Nora?" This always happens. Whenever I'm upset I always run to my room, and Nora always knocks on my door. We've been doing it since we we're children.

"You shouldn't be so upset about this." I can hear the regalia sigh on the other side of the door. She was probably sitting on the floor in the same position as me. Her legs crossed as she sits on the floor.

Nora has always been by my side. She was more like a sister than a regalia. Whenever I had to kill a human, she gladly helped me. Sometimes I wondered if Nora actually had emotions.

"I should be upset. You know what happened to my mother." I knew that Mother loved Nora, and Nora loved her too. She had the exact shade of blue eyes that I have. She was always kind and was once a great goddess. The regalia basically worshiped my mom.

"But your father wants you to become a famous god one day. Wouldn't you like that?"

I frown. I hate it when Nora's correct. I do want to be a famous god. "But that doesn't mean that I should go to high school. I know you hate humans as much as I do." I close my eyes, my head against the door.

When there was no answer, I knew right away that the regalia had left.

I lazily stand up and change into jeans and a shirt. I take my phone and put it in my back pocket.

I open the window and look down below me. Since I'm on the second floor, I'll have to jump.


Hiyori

As I walk into the mall's entrance, I smell the sweet aroma of doughnuts.

"Do you smell that?" Mom asks. She lifts her nose and pretends to deeply sniff the air. She smiles.

"Yeah, I do." We pass stores that sell cute clothes, going towards the food court.

"Maybe we should get a dozen doughnuts and bring it home for you and your dad." My mom begins taking her wallet out as we come closer and closer to the doughnut shop at the corner of the food court.

"Sure, why not?" My mom tells the cashier what kind of doughnuts we want, while I look through the glass window. There were different shapes, sizes, and flavors of doughnuts; Mom picked the best ones.

"Can I eat one of the doughnuts right now?" I beg. I was starving. Mom and I were at the beach all day, and I was too excited to eat anything. Summer's about to end, so I decided to go to the beach as much as possible.

Mom sighed. "Alright. Only one," she says, giving in. She opens the box for me, showing all the doughnuts she had chosen. I take a chocolate covered doughnut out of the big box and take a bite.


Yato

No one can see me as I walk through the mall. I secretly left my bedroom to escape all of my problems. Humans can't see gods when the gods don't want them to. Every person that is near me doesn't even look at me in the eye.

As I easily walk through the crowds of people, I accidentally bump into a girl with purple eyes and brown hair. She dropped the doughnut she was holding and the chocolate on it smeared all over the floor as another person steps on it.

She frowns at me. In fact, she looks at me straight in the eye. She can see me. "Watch where you're going!" the girl tells me.

I stare at her for a moment, my eyes wide. Something like this has never happened before. "Y-You can see me?" I ask a bit surprised.

She raises an eyebrow and places a hand on her hip. "Of course I can see you! Do you think I'm blind?"

"Um-"

"Hiyori?" A woman looks at the brown-haired girl a bit concerned. "Who are you taking to?"

"Him." She points at me, and I almost expected the woman to look at me in the eye. She didn't. She just looked around, a confused look on her face.

"She can't see me," I try to explain. How can this human girl see me?

"What do you mean she can't see you?" The human turns towards the woman and puts her hands on her shoulders, facing her towards me. "Mom, can't you see this guy?"

The mother shakes her head, looking even more confused. "I don't understand..." The lady looks through me, as if I didn't exist. She searches the crowd of people passing by, as if trying to find the person the girl is talking to. Her daughter looks at me frantically.

"Am I going crazy?" The girl grabs my arm and pulls me closer to her mom. "I can touch you and see you, yet my mom can't see you?"

I roll my eyes. Humans are so stupid. "I told you she can't see me. Just pretend you never met me." I turn around quickly and begin running through the multitudes of people.

"Wait!" The girl calls out. I ignore her calls and keep running until I'm outside the mall, crossing the street. I put my hood on. It's getting darker and darker, a sign that is telling me I should be home right now.


A week later

Hiyori

I walk down the street with Ami, my best friend. For the last week, my mom has tried to bring me to a therapist. She thinks I'm crazy. I could've sworn I saw that guy. He had blue eyes and black hair. The strange guy told me that Mom can't see me. I wonder what that meant...

"Anyways, I really think that you should date Fujisaki."

"What?" I ask. To be honest, I haven't been listening to Ami. I can't top think thinking about him.

"Haven't you been paying attention? I said you and Fujisaki would be a great couple."

"Oh yeah."

My friend giggles.

"Wait, no!" I exclaim, making Ami giggle some more. "I-I didn't mean to say that! I wasn't listening!" Ami was always telling me to date a guy that used to be in my drama club last year. To be honest, he was really nice and handsome, but I don't like him that way. Actually, I barely know who he is.

Ami stops giggling and stares at me as we cross the street, going through the gates that lead to our large high school. "You've been acting strange lately."

I sigh and shake my head. "Now you think I'm crazy."

"What? I didn't say that!"

"My mom has been thinking that I've lost my mind." I catch Fujisaki looking at me, and he smiles. I smile back, being kind.

"Why would she think that? You're fine." Ami puts her arm around me, trying to make me feel better.

"I saw this guy at the mall, but she keeps saying no one was there." I also put my arm around my best friend. We walk into the school and I shiver, feeling the cold air from the air conditioner.

Ami grins. "Oh, so you're imagining your own boyfriend."

"N-No! It's not like that. He was talking to me, telling me that my mom can't see me." I furrow my eyebrows. Maybe I am crazy.

"Well that's interesting."

I stop walking. In fact, I was basically frozen. He was there, sitting in my classroom. He didn't look too happy. He was talking to a girl with short black hair, who also looked unhappy. It was the guy from the mall. "You!" I say, raising my voice. I point at him and he looks at me, shocked. He stands up.

"Y-You!" He says, pointing back at me. "You saw me!"

I turn towards Ami. "Please tell me you can see him!" Everyone in the classroom had their attention on us. People were murmuring in confusion.

"Hiyori, calm down! Of course I can see him! I don't understand why I wouldn't!"

All of the students in my class gasps.

"Hiyori!"Ami screams.

"W-What?" I look at my best friend. I didn't understand why everybody was freaking out. I scream. It was me! I was lying on the floor, as if I fainted. But that isn't possible! I'm standing right now! People start surrounding my body, trying to see if I was okay.

"Hiyori?" she says name, nearly hysterical. "Are you alright?"

"What happened?" It was Fujisaki. He also gasps. "Is she alright?!" He kneels beside my body, obviously worried about me. He puts his hand on my forehead. Ami places my head on her lap.

"It looks like your boyfriend's worried," some one mutters. I look behind me and find the guy with black hair and beautiful blue eyes.

"He's not my boyfriend!" I turn around and glare at him. "What's happening? I don't understand! I'm standing up, but my body is on the floor! Am I dead?"

"I don't think so." I look at the girl who that guy was talking to earlier.

"How come you guys can see me, but they can't?" At this point, I'm completely freaking out. No one can see me.

"I knew there was something strange about you!" the boy says.

"Oh, I'm the strange one!" I scratch the back of my head in frustration.

"But you are strange! Last week at the mall, I was supposed to be invisible, but you saw me." The guy looks at me, as if studying me. He reaches from behind me, and I try to back away but fail. "Look!" He pulls his hand away from me and shows me a purple pink-ish tail.

"Wait," the girl says. Her eyes were very dark, completely black. Her pale hand hits the boy. "When were you at the mall?"

"Ehh... that's not important!" he tells her, changing the subject. "Should we bring her to Father?"

The girl shakes her head. She crosses her arms, thinking. Then, she smiles and holds her hand out to me. "I'm Nora and this is Yato." Nora points her thumb at Yato, who is beside her. "What's your name?"

I hesitantly shake her hand. And for a moment I forgot my own name. "I'm... Hiyori."
