Yato woke up to see Hiyori peeking under his shirt. He was tired, sluggish and falling apart so he didn't react to it but Hiyori did. She punched him before he got to say anything, he flew straight into the wall. She screamed in her defense

''It's not what it looks like!''

The impact hurt like hell on Yato's sick body, but since he doesn't want to let Hiyori or Yukine know he is in so much pain he just acted as he always would. '

'You're crazy…'' was his reply.

Hiyori asked him a few questions and it felt like an eternity. His body felt heavy, beat and he had no control over it. It had no strength left at the moment to do more than sitting straight, even that made Yato fighting to not let Hiyori finding out about his situation. He almost couldn't keep up with what she was saying. He looked at her mouth trying to concentrate on what the heck she was talking about. Suddenly Yato felt another pair of eyes watching him. He tried to feel who it was, then his eye widened. He looked out on the roof. He met a pair of black deep eyes.

''Damn you Nora…'' Yato thought gritting his teeth in silence.

Hiyori noticed this.

''Yato?'' she tried to regain his attention.

''Something wrong?'' she asked.

Yato's face looked like he got ripped back to reality when he met Hiyori's eyes. He looked tense, restless. She hadn't noticed before now, but he had looked like this for a while. He got bags under his eyes, his beautiful blue eyes had gone dim and his dark hair had lost its shine. He looked tired. She covered her mouth with her hands,

''what has happened to you?''

Yato looked blankly down in the floor. He shook his head,

''Nothing…''

Hiyori looked worried. Yato looked up at Hiyori with the most serious face he had ever made. Sweat ran down Hiyori's face. Suddenly he brightened up saying

''It's just that idiot of a shinki, Yukine-kun, who are doing bad things again. What can one do with brats like that I wonder'' he said with his funny voice.

''Don't blame it on Yukine-kun!'' Hiyori seemed offended.

Yato knew where her sore points were. He just had to push the right buttons.

''What does an A-cup brat know about that?''

That was it.

''W-what did you say!?''

She punched Yato yet again into the wall screaming

''Yato, y-you idiot!''before running off.

''So mean~!'' Yato said after her in his sad childish voice.

When Hiyori was out of sight Yato dropped his act. He sat down on the bed holding his head in his hands, bowing forward.

''Enjoyed the show?'' he asked.

Nora sat in the window chuckling.

''You could say that'' Yato looked at her with one eye.

''I'm not falling for it this time. Last time I trusted you too much, I won't do the same mistake twice, Nora''

the wind were howling through the open window, making Nora's hair flying a bit.

''Can't you call me by the name you gave me? I really like it'' she smiled.

Yato shook his head, too tired to talk much.

''I see. But we will see how long that will of yours will keep up, Yato. Soon enough you will only want to be with me, spend every day, minute, hour with me, just like in the past.''

She raised herself up from her spot in the window, taking a step closer to Yato. Yato's heart suddenly started to pound really fast. She came closer and closer one step at the time, her white skin sparkling by the sun, her black eyes sucking him in.

''Yato'' she said with her soft voice.

She reached her arm out to him. His body was stiff, head pounding. He was in so much pain that his mind weren't thinking straight. Each step she took closer, each time he seemed to lose a bit of his consciousness. His eyes felt heavy. Is he going to fall asleep, he thought half conscious. Without him doing it himself, his hand slowly went to reach out to hers. His hand were shaking slightly but reached out fully to the stray shinki. She only had to take six more steps before coming in contact with his hand.

Yato tried to get up to meet her half way, but as soon as he tried he fell down to the ground, still reaching out his hand though. His mind had left him, the sickness got to his head. Nora had the perfect opportunity to take control now if only she got to touch him. Yato opened his mouth trying to speak, Nora's eyes widened

''Hik-'' he started saying.

Just then the door went up, Kofuku and Hiyori came running in.

''Yato!'' Hiyori shouted.

Yato fell limb to the ground.

''Get away from Yatty-chan, Nora!'' Kofuku said pointing Daikoku at the shinki.

Nora bit her lip. No words could describe her face, it was so full of hate and anger as she looked at the uninvited guests that had entered the room.

''Tche.'' She said before suddenly disappearing out of the room, leaving Yato behind.

''Phew, I really didn't want to fight inside the school'' Kofuku said regaining her childish façade and Daikoku returning to human form.

''Yato!'' Hiyori ran to the unconscious god with the other two closely behind.

She sat down next to him and shook his lifeless body, shouting

''Wake up, Yato! Wake up! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!'' she kept saying.

She stopped for a moment, tears appearing in her eyes.

''Did Nora do anything to you?!'' she screamed.

''Hiyorin…'' Kofuku said sad.

Daikoku bowed down checking Yato's pulse.

''It's okay, it is a little weak but he's got a pulse and his heart is beating. Let's get him back, then we can take a better look at him'' he finished.

Hiyori nodded while she wiped away her tears.

Yukine were on the swings outside the school, depressed. He thought about all the things he can't obtain because he is dead. He gritted his teeth kicking the sand. Suddenly he felt someone coming closer. He looked up to see a tearing up Hiyori, concerned Kofuku and Daikoku holding an unconscious Yato in his arms.

''W-what happened?'' Yukine said rising from the swings stunned.

''We don't know yet, we only know Nora most likely has got to do something with this'' Daikoku answered in the strict way he always talks.

''You better come with us, Yukine-kun…'' Hiyori said.

Nora watched as the gang left the school grounds. She tightened her fists. They had ruined everything. She had not expected Yato to call her name, and he almost did. It was the perfect chance and now it's gone. If Kofuku and Daikoku find out about Yukine's backstabbing they will do something about it and everything will go back to what is was at first. Nora had to act quickly, before she completely loses Yato again.
