It has been a week. I came to realize that it truly wasn't a joke. Why couldn't anyone else remember Yato? I remembered him so clearly...his soft blue hair that framed his face perfectly...that stupid grin he always had on his face...his stupid jokes...that stupid tracksuit he always had on…

He wasn't just my imagination...what happened…

"Yukine! Dinner!"Kofuku called out. I got up, heading down stairs and to the kitchen. Everything was so quiet around here…

"Here, hope you like it. We're having fried fish and rice, with ramen as well,"Daikoku says, handing me a plate and a bowl.

I sigh,"Thanks."

I sit down at the table...I grab my chopsticks, starting to pick at the ramen…

Yato wasn't fake...he was real...we had been dating for at least 4 months...we had barely started earning good money, and we were saving it up for our own house...we always slept together and told each other "I love you" and "Good morning" and "Good night".

"Yukine...we're really sorry, but we don't know who or where this...Yato is,"Kofuku said quietly, sitting at the table and starting to eat. I feel my eyes beginning to sting again. I couldn't be in here right now. I shot up, heading out the door,"I'll be right back. I need to just...walk for a while."

I walk through Kofuku's front gates and walk along the sidewalk...they had shown me the street they had found me in...maybe...if I went to see it again, I could find a clue...but that was a long shot.

I decide to take it and head to the street...why couldn't I remember anything on that day? But everything else after that I could…

I turn the corner. Here. The street's name was, 'Kanmon-odori'.

I walk to the center, looking around….there wasn't much to see. It was just a normal street surrounded by buildings. I felt tears starting to form again…

"Yato...where the fuck are you,"I cry. "Why doesn't anyone remember?"

I walk around, getting a good look, but it was just like any other street.

I then freeze as I hear a water drop.

But from where? It hasn't been raining…

"Looking for Yato?"

I turn around quickly.

Nora.

I should have known. "Nora. What the hell do you want." I was now full with complete anger. I hated this bitch with a passion.

"You know Yukine...you really want to know why no one remembers Yatty?"she said quietly and calmly.

I clench my fist. I hated the way Yato's name sounded when she said it.

"I can tell you're desperate for answers, Yukine."

I growl,"I am, but not from you." I was about to turn away, when she says, "Yukine, Yato's dead."

I freeze. "What...what did you say?"

I hear her giggle,"Oh Yukine. Look at you. Letting yourself be broken and torn apart by something so stupid."

I was furious. I was sad. I was depressed. I was...in shock. "Shut up. Shut up Nora. You have no idea what it is to truly love someone."

She stays silent, before saying,"Yukine. He is dead. And you know what? He won't be returning. Why? Because no one remembers him. Yato is better off dead."

Yato...wasn't coming back...because no one remembered him…"BULL SHIT!" I shout.

"I REMEMBER HIM!"

"You don't count."

"YES I DO! HE….he had his own shrine…"

That's when a flash of white hit me.

"Yukine...I have to cut my ties with you now…with everyone."

I watch, tears streaming down my face and blurring my vision. Yato lifts his hand, starting to write my name,"Yukine...there is a chance you may not remember me...no one may remember me...so I may not come back...but before I go, let me tell you this...I love you. And thank you for making my life better with your love and kindness...Yukine...I know you can't promise me anything...but please don't forget me."

A scream erupted from my throat,"YATO!" I run forward, ignoring the pain that shot through out my body, to where he lay, leaning down and giving him a kiss, saying over and over while I kissed him,"I won't forget you! I won't forget you!"

I won't forget….wait...but he said that if everyone forgot, he wouldn't come back...does that mean…

"You're wrong Nora."

I look up to see her smile fade. "What do you mean, Yukine?"

I growl,"He will come back. You can't tell me otherwise."

I begin to walk away, heading back home.

She stays silent, before smiling again,"Yato is gone Yukine. He's dead. You might as well kill yourself now."

"I now release you Yukine...I love you."
