Yato's POV

I walk out the front doors of the hospital, and I immediately collapse on the ground.

She'll never forgive me...Is all I think about. People entering the hospital don't even notice me, they simply continue their conversations and walk around me. "Yato come on get up, we have to get back to Lady Kofuku's house. She'll want to know what happened?" Yukine tells me.

I don't listen, I just continue to sit there. I don't want to move. I don't really want to do anything right now. I just sit there, and imagine Hiyori waking up and resenting me. This would have never happened to her if I just answered her wish, and fixed her body. She kept reminding me about it, but I didn't listen. I knew the only way to fix her was to cut all ties with me. If I cut her off with the people in the Far Shore than the problem probably would have resolved itself. However, I was just too selfish to do this. I wanted Hiyori for myself, I didn't want her to forget me. She is one of the very few people in my life that can remember me, and I didn't want to let go of that.

I love her. I just don't want to let her go.

"Yato! Yato, please get up! You're scaring me!" Yukine shouts.

I still sit there, but soon a pair of feet come into my field of vision. I look up at the person, and I'm face to face with Kazuma. He has his hand held out to me to help me off the ground, but I don't take it. I stand weakly to my feet, and I stare directly into Kazuma's eyes. "What do you want?" I ask.

"I know what happened to her, I'm sorry." He states.

"Why are you sorry?" I ask truly wanting to know the reason Kazuma is here.

"I knew how much Hiyori meant to you, and I know how much this must hurt you. Please don't blame yourself. My true intention of coming here was to make sure you were alright." he says.

"I'm fine, but she's not." I say as I begin to walk away. Kazuma doesn't chase after me, instead he walks in the opposite direction, and soon is out of sight.

I wander in the dark, not really sure where I am going.

"Yato! Yato listen to me!" Yukine continues to shout in my ear. I try to listen to his directions, but my thoughts tune him out. I want to listen to him, but I'm too selfish. I just continue walking wallowing in my self-pity.

Finally I subconsciously call Yukine name, and Yukine changes back to his original form. He lands on the ground, and soon grabs me by my shoulders.

"Please Yato, lets just go back home. Hiyori is okay, she's alive, she'll get through this. The Hiyori we know won't fall because of something like this." Yukine says trying his absolute hardest to try to comfort me.

I don't listen to him, I just keep walking. I soon notice a storm in the sky. Usually I would rush to dissipate the storm, but tonight I just can't. Yukine is trailing quickly behind me, trying to keep up with me, but I don't slow down for him. Soon enough I don't even notice him.

I keep seeing Hiyori's beautiful smile, but from what I did to her I don't think I'll ever see it again. She'll want to forget me, and I don't blame her, because I would want to forget me too.

I keep walking my darkened path, and soon a familiar man comes into vision. The akayshi that are following him are ginormous, but what bothers me even more than that is the faintly, familiar smell that is coming off of him. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I shout "Sekki", and my blades fall into my hands. Yukine shouts at me, "Yato what are you doing, stop this!"

I ignore him, I feel an adrenaline rush, and I chase after the man. I know what I must do, and I plan to do it tonight. I soon appear behind the man, and I go to slice the man's throat.

I try to pull back the blade to make the fatal slice, but Yukine is resisting. "Yato please don't! You're not you right now! Please let's just head home before you do something stupid." he shouts into my ear.

I shout back at him, "I have to make him suffer, he hurt Hiyori, he has to be punished!"

"Stop!"

The familiar voice I thought I'd never hear again is now standing right behind me. I drop Yukine on the ground, and quickly turn around. Hiyori is standing directly behind me, might I add that she is glaring very angrily right now. "Don't do this Yato, you're better then this!" she walks over and punches me right in the jaw.

I fly across the sidewalk and I slam into a nearby wall. I grab the affected area and I glance back up at her. She goes to yell at me again, but soon I notice that she is slowly swaying back and forth. She takes a step towards me, she falls, but when her spirit comes in contact with the ground her form shatters.

I stand there wide-eyed by the sudden disappearance, but I soon notice the man I was originally hunting down is slowly disappearing in the distance. I go to chase after him again, but I decide to swallow my pride and let him go. I call Yukine name, and he escorts me back to Kofuku's house. I try to tell him that we should be with Hiyori right now, but he thinks that getting some rest should be good for me.
