Author note: I'm going to keep rolling out chapters for this story as long as I can, I originally intended for only 2, but I was able to find a way to make more fit in if you have any suggestions, or characters you'd like to see more of, please let me know! I am totally open to suggestions! Thanks for reading!


Hiyori's eyes slowly opened as she adjusted to the light flowing into her room from the open window. Pulling back the light purple sheets on her bed, she stepped onto the cold floor and slightly shivered. Her head was still in a blur after last night.

"Did I really kiss Yato?" she wondered to herself, pulling off her school top that she woke up in and stepped out of her skirt, "He must've carried me to my room again, how sweet of him," she thought. Her room was filled with the familiar scent of Yato, but Hiyori figured it was because of her clothes, which were now bundled in her hands. Turning to walk to her closet in just a bra and underwear, she was met with a pair of icy blue eyes, wide with surprise.

"HIIYAAAAHHH," Hiyori screamed and kicked the stunned Yato against the wall. She into her bed and wrapped herself in a blanket. Yato just lay against the wall, breathing heavily from not just being kicked.

"Hiyori," Yato wheezed, "I would've said something, but I just woke up, and I thought you knew,"

"How would I know that you were sleeping in the corner?" Hiyori called, hidden from Yato's eyes

"I, I just thought," Yato bowed, unaware that she couldn't see him, "Please forgive me Hiyori," Hiyori's rose eyes peered from a tiny hole in the blanket. Yato walked to her closet and grabbed another school uniform. He placed it on top of the bed next to the shaking Hiyori who pulled it into her cave of decency. The lump on the bed wiggled around and ruffled under the sheets until a fully clothed, typical looking, Hiyori emerged.

"I forgive you Yato," Hiyori breathed, grabbing a brush to untangle her bed head, "But why were you in my room?"

"Well, I didn't want you to forget about yesterday," Yato forced a laugh and rubbed his messy hair. Hiyori instantly understood what he meant; he wasn't talking about their moment under the cherry tree, he was talking about their whole relationship.

"I would never forget that," Hiyori smiled, "and I would never forget you, Yato," she quietly added, smiling to herself as she watched his 'cool guy' act slip away, "Will you walk me to school?" she intrigued, stepping closer to him and inhaling deeply at the wonderful smell that radiated from his body.

"It would be my honor, for five yen of course," Yato joked holding out his hand and smiling a cheesy grin. Hiyori just giggled and grabbed his hand, leading him downstairs and out the door.

Hand in hand, the two walked along the pavement and under the shadow of the trees. Hiyori's heart was beating faster than normal, but she sort of enjoyed the feeling. She liked how someone could make her feel this way.

"What will your friends think when they see us together?" Yato mused, thinking of their expressions, "I bet they'll be too stunned by my godly appearance to say anything," he laughed

"Or they'll forget about you," Hiyori joked, unaware that Yato took it a little too seriously. Clenching his jaw slightly he brushed off the comment with a chuckle and squeezed Hiyori's hand, savoring the warmth coming off of her body and the feel of her smooth fingertips slightly caressing his hand. He gazed down at the bubbly brunette and smiled, "Oh, Yato, that reminds me, where is Yukine?" Hiyori looked up into his eyes

"He's with Kofuku and Daikoku, the part time job thing he has, apparently I don't make enough money for his liking," Yato mumbled, "One day I'll have my own shrine, with millions of people worshipping me," Yato's head soared through the clouds, "they'll pray to me every day, I'll be more powerful than Tenjin and Bishamonten, combined!" his head was pulled back to Earth by a pair of pink eyes that stared in wonder at the babbling god, "Oh, and you'll be my goddess of course," Yato quickly added, feeling quite proud of the day dream he concocted in his head. Hiyori replied with a simple blush and smile. Upon arriving at her school Hiyori slipped out of Yato's grip and turned to face him

"It would be an honor to be the great Yato-sama's goddess," she bowed with a joking tone in her voice. Yato could only reply with a smile as Hiyori placed a small kiss on his cheek and bounced up the steps that led into her high school. Unable to move out of pure happiness, Yato stood there, reliving the moment over and over.

"YATO!" a boyish voice yelled, "Yato there you are, do we have any jobs today?"

"Yes!" Yato replied, falling back to reality, "We'll start at once!"

Later

Hiyori bounded across rooftops and bounced on street lights to reach a small storm of phantoms where she knew a certain jersey wearing god would be. Dismounting from a small house, she danced through the streets, all day she was thinking about Yato and now she gets to see him again, she turned the corner and from a distance she could see Yato fighting against twelve adorably small phantoms screaming nonsense. As she got closer she could make out their shrieks

"She'll never truly love you!"

"She's not telling the truth, why would she fall for you?"

"Kill yourself!"

"End your suffering!"

"She's too good for a pathetic god like you!"

None of these cries bothered Yato as he used his Sekki to slash through each one, making them vanish into thin air. Only one phantom remained, and it danced around Yato, looking quite pleased with its puny self.

"She's going to forget about you," it jeered, trying to latch itself onto an obviously distraught Yato.

"No I won't!" Hiyori yelled at the phantom, who glanced at the small brown-haired girl with a purple chord stretching out of her body. Yato's eyes perked up and his face flushed with relief, along with a sudden jolt of confidence. Easily taking out the phantom in front of him, he smiled and waved at Hiyori.

"Yukine, return," he commanded, and the small blonde boy appeared. Brushing off his jacket he looked into his master's love struck eyes and breathed out heavily

"You have to stop letting that little guy get to you. He almost got you this time,"

"What? I knew what I was doing the entire time, I was just baiting him," Yato folded his arms and turned away from Yukine, not ready to admit the boy was right. Hiyori jogged up to the two boys and gave Yukine a big hug, "Hey!" Yato jealously called, "Why does he get a hug and I don't?" Hiyori and Yukine both rolled their eyes at his child-like behavior, and releasing Yukine, she stepped in front of the pouting god

"Because I was going to give you this," Hiyori surprised Yato with a quick peck on the lips, and all the jealous storm clouds in his mind floated away

"Well it's about time," Yukine muttered, walking in the general direction towards Kofuku's house. Hiyori giggled and ran to catch up to Yukine, leaving Yato standing there, giddy with excitement but unable to move.


Yay! Chapter 3 is done :D
