Again, I do not own Noragami - nor the picture (I forgot to say that last chapter) I found it on google.

Sorry for any OOC-ness and possible manga spoilers.

Thanks for the single review... from Bubbles :)

Please review - I want to know what you guys think

I also just realised that with all my ideas, this might only have three chapters... so if anyone likes this fic, sorry to disappoint :(

Hiyori's POV

The cup of tea sat before me untouched - for quite a while, mind you. Small wisps of steam rose slowly from the mouth of the cup, dissipating quickly into the night air. I quickly snuck a glance at Kofuku, and then I followed her eyes to Yato. His tea was clasped firmly in his hands, half gone, and his bright eyes were locked on the Phantom - sorry, god. I still felt it hard to believe - that this woman was a god of calamity, like Yato. It was even harder to believe that Ryo and Yato were twins. Well, they did look alike - strikingly so. They both had the deep black hair and blue eyes, albeit the fact that Ryo had longer hair and brighter eyes. They both had a pale-ish complexion, and cat-like pupils. Actually no, Ryo was more like a wolf with cat eyes, as weird as it seemed, with her ears and claws and tail. No, it was hard to believe it because they seemed different, somehow. Ryo was more reserved, but polite. The way they carried themselves was different too. She seemed to be light-ish, almost eager to become friends with us, but there was also something else, something hidden. It was guilt... no, shame. Still, it didn't seem possible for gods to have siblings, but Yato said they were born from the same wish, at the same time, and so considered twins.

It had been explained earlier, that Ryo had attracted the Storm due to her being merged with a Phantom - hence the ears and tail. And it was coincidence that she had been in this area of Japan, seeing as she had been trekking back and forth across the country on foot, looking for something, but that something remained un-named.

~~~Flashback - a few hours ago~~~

"Anyway, I got merged with a Phantom 'cause I pissed off Takemikazuchi."

Bishamon's eyes darkened, remembering Ebisu's death at his hands. "What did you do?" She growled.

"I protected a minor god who did something involving Phantoms. She was trying to, I don't know, get higher in the food chain I guess. She was an old friend and I didn't want her to be killed off, so I defended her and the old geezer fell off his rocker. So... yeah. I left Yaboku-niichan, sorry - Yato - and traveled around Japan."

"Why?"

"... I was searching for something."

"That doesn't explain why you were trekking across Japan for hundreds of years." Daikoku said gruffly.

"..."

"Ok, so who was this friend you protected?" Kazuma this time, in a soft yet firm voice.

"..."

"For crying out loud! At least answer one of the damned questions, brat!" Daikoku slammed his hands on the table, earning a dark glare from Ryo and a cautious whisper from Yato.

"Yo, dude, I wouldn't piss her off if I were you..."

~~~Flashback End~~~

I shook my head, clearing my head of my confusion as to why it would be so bad to annoy Ryo. I once again glanced at her. Yato and Yukine had moved a little closer, with Ryo smiling softly and laughing a clear, bell-like laugh at something Yukine said. Yato smiled in response, and a pang of jealousy tore through my heart. I shook my head again. Stop, Hiyori. There's no need to be jealous. Yato's my boyfriend, and he knows that. Besides, they're siblings.
Yukine grinned, obviously pleased at making her laugh. I abandoned my untouched tea as I stood, quietly said good-bye to all but one, leaving her out not from jealousy, but distrust - at least that's what I told myself, and quickly headed home.

~~~Time Skip - 1 week & 4 days (random amount of days O_o)~~~

Yato's POV

In the short amount of time that Ryo had been living at Kofuku's place, she had helped out with my work considerably. Yukine was amazed at how many jobs I had taken... well, the amount that were taken in my name. I had done the usual amount with Yukine, but Ryo had done double, if not more. I know I hadn't seen her in a while, but her proficiency still amazed me, just like the old days. She's even helped Daikoku with housework, and kept Kofuku entertained. But I noticed that the others still seemed hesitant towards her, though I couldn't see why. They might've seen something in her that I didn't, but all I cared about at the current point in time was that I had my sister back. Even Hiyori, who usually seemed so accepting, regularly turned a cold shoulder to Ryo, and I wasn't happy about it. The only one who seemed happy to be in her company - other than myself - was Yukine. The Shinki was rather fond of the god - not in a perverse way, I could tell that much - and enjoyed her company. I would walk out the back to find them talking and laughing on the roof. I honestly enjoyed her being here, and we were having a lot of fun working together, so I really couldn't predict what would happen next.

~~~~Time Skip - that night~~~~

Dinner was awkward, to say the least. Usually there was snickering from both Ryo and Yukine, accompanied by barely-concealed looks of distrust from Daikoku and Hiyori. Tonight, Ryo had missed dinner, having been in her room for the whole afternoon, causing both Yukine and myself to check on her and worry constantly, and coming down late; bags under her eyes. She didn't eat. And when she helped to clean up, her hands shook so badly that she dropped everything she was carrying, shattering the bowls and cups. Daikoku ripped it into her after that. I expected her to snap, like usual, to get so ferociously angry that Bishamon would have cowered. But she averted her eyes and mumbled an apology.

And yet, she continued to make Daikoku mad. They were little things; like not looking where she was going and running through the screen door, or knocking things over. After that, she just sat still, near the door, constantly peering at the clock on the wall, and at the moon. Yukine glanced at her, and opened his mouth, but before he could utter anything, Daikoku marched over and stood in front of her, scowling. "We need to talk."

Ryo glanced up at him, then at the moon, and stood, sighing. "I don't have time for this. I have to go."

"Well, you can stay and make time for it. I want you to explain what the hell you are here for, and what the hell is wrong with you. I'll have you know that none of us here," he indicated Hiyori, Kofuku and himself, "trust you. So you better start talking. And I want you to tell us everything."

"I told you, I don't have time." Another glance at the moon, and a slight shuffling towards the open door.

"Just -"

"I don't have time for this bullshit!" There was pain and fear in her eyes. Ryo suddenly turned on her heel and took off.

But Daikoku was faster. His hand snapped out as he yelled, "Listen, dammit!" But the moment his hand made contact on the fleeing god, she exploded into nothingness, clothes and blood raining down like a wild thunderstorm inside the room.

Ok, this one was really rushed, but I had a basic storyline in my head, and I didn't want to drag it out. Plus I'm really crappy at writing basic, everyday (sorta) things so they sound so... crap... So sorry if I didn't meet your standards. Also sorry about it being short. :(

Please review :) I'm sorta hoping for at least more than one please? I like feedback :P
