Hiyori sprinted down the cobblestone pavement chest burning, she spun round a corner missing her step her shoulder slammed into the floor with a sickening crunch she yelped as she poked it gingerly , a small trickle of blood seeped through her cardigan, cursing as she stood up stumbling slightly she pushed her back against the wall for support. " I have to find yukine" she stated tacking a wobbly step forward before tacking of again each stride filled with determination.

A pale light leaked through the attic window the beginning of the suns rays, yukine groaned as the sheets rustled rolling out of bed onto the carpet, he stayed on the floor ignoring how uncomfortable it was his body was to heavy from sleep to stand up and he could barely open his eyes long enough to realise that something or someone was missing, he lazily searched through his recent memories to see if he could recall what it was " the heater?" he mumbled as he went through a quick check list of possibilities. Again he opened one eye lazily scanning the room everything seemed to be in order, well as much order as he could keep the place in what with yato. YATO! Of course how could he forget probably the most annoying person he knew, the god had still not returned, no wonder yukine had been able to sleep a whole night with out being awoken by yato's screams of terror that scared half the city to death. In the past month before he had disappeared yato had been waking up from nightmares, yukine remembered he had been in the deepest pit of sleep oblivious of what was happening until he was awoken by a soul slaying scream that caused the hairs on the back of his neck to stand on end, instantly he had shot up ready to take on whoever was screaming like a deranged phantom he waited for yato to call his name all ready planning to complain about how late it was after wards several moments pased, yukine glanced at yato the blood In his veins halted. Yato was curled into a tight ball screaming as he squirmed all most as if he was in pain, yukine blood started moving again roaring in his ears as he ran to yatos side " yato! Yato!" the god didn't respond his nails only dug further into his skull a small damp patch forming underneath him from the tears that spilled down his cheeks. The god was inconsolable as yukine knelt beside him powerless to stop the mental torture that yato was probably experiencing. Terrified by the display in front of him yukine desperately tried to calm yato down gently prying yatos sweaty hands away from his head his concern only tripling as he noticed that his shiny hair had been clumped together by patches of blood the god had cut himself with his nails yukine inspected yatos hands , his fingers were stained crimson.

Flashback ending yukine stood up rushing over to the draws at the far side of the room beside yatos drawing desk and where yukine did his homework, as quietly as he could yukine yanked open the draws pulling out a random stack of clothes and shrugging them on before he bounded down the stairs , eventually as the nightmares became more frequent yato would just snap out of it and act like the previous 5 minutes of hell never happened, but yukine could never forget his screams they echoed through his mind everyday. Just as yukine cleared the last step a flash of energy enveloped him he barely had time to scream before he was taken away without even a speck of dust falling out of place.
