Yukine walked along the sidewalk on his way to the park he liked to go to when he was avoiding Yato. As he walked along the sidewalk, Yukine watched people walk past him without noticing he was there. He was starting to get used to them not seeing him but it still hurt that they wouldn't notice him. The blond sighed and stopped at the entrance of an alley, leaning against one of the walls and watching people walk past him. As he watched, a phantom flew past a stroller with blatant disregard to the baby in it. Yukine could hear the baby cry even though he was on the opposite side of the street. For some reason the young child's sobs upset him.

'Not like I have anything else to do….'

Sighing, Yukine joined the group of people crossing the street and walked over to the stroller, crouching in front of it so he could see the child. The baby looked at him, still crying.

"Hey, it's okay, don't cry." Yukine smiled, trying to comfort the baby. "The phantom won't hurt you."

The baby calmed down, giggling and reaching its hands out toward Yukine. Chuckling, the blond gently pet one of the child's hands.

"Sorry, I can't play with you little guy. I'm already dead." he told the baby.

The baby smiled and waved at him as Yukine walked away. He turned and smiled at the baby one last time before hurrying to the park. Letting out a sigh of relief, he sat at the base of his favorite tree. Maybe he'd be able to have some peace before Yato found him.

Maybe...
