A/N: This one is Sarishinohara. It's one of my favorites, and it's beautiful. Like many other ones, this one is pretty much AU, but hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimed.


Yato knew that she wouldn't remember him, especially with all the trouble going on, but he still thought that they were so alike.

Even though this whole mess about her was going on, she was still acting strong to the public. She smiled and even when she walked through the train station, she was the one who stood out, brighter than the others.

Or maybe that was just to Yato.

But she was always bright to him. After they confessed their love for each other and officially started dating, he felt like he was the luckiest god on the planet, more than the luck gods. Others didn't approve, but he didn't care. It was as Kofuku had said: Nothing can get in the way of love.

And then Hiyori was scouted.

Yato knew that her dream was to become a pop idol. She had kept it a secret from everyone but him. And finally, she had gotten scouted and recruited. It was a dream come true for the girl.

Then, rumors began.

Someone spread a picture of Hiyori with Yato. A picture of her holding his hand. He was partially hidden behind a sign, thank goodness, but she was in full sight. With her head leaning toward where his head would've been if he wasn't hidden. Getting ready to kiss Yato.

Pop idols aren't supposed to be in romantic relationships.

The person who spread the photo claimed that the person in the photo was himself. They had been together for a while. He knew almost everything about her.

He said that she was fierce in bed.

It was all lies, of course. Hiyori knew that. Yato knew that. The other gods, their shinki, and Hiyori's parents knew. But they were no match for the rest of the nation, especially if most of the people in this handful couldn't even be seen by people.

Hiyori was bombarded by the paparazzi. She claimed that she had no idea who made these claims, that she had no idea what was going on. But her efforts were fruitless. She was bullied by antis, other idols, the paparazzi. She was betrayed by her idol friends.

She became so, so busy. She got too busy with work, and she never wanted to leave the house. Even if Yato came to visit, she wouldn't bother opening the door.

And it just happened one day.

Hiyori forgot about them.

The gods, their shinki. About Nora, Bishamon, Kofuku. About Yukine. About Yato.

The whole Far Shore was gone.

Everyone who knew Hiyori despaired. Even Tenjin, who always thought that Hiyori should cut her ties, was in a small state of depression. But Yato was affected the most. Everything the two had together was gone.

There was so much he wanted to tell her. When Yato saw the poster of Hiyori that was hung up at the station, he wished to tell her that she didn't have to listen or care about what the people said.

At another area in town, he saw Hiyori on a large screen. He waved at the screen, and she smiled her beautiful smile. But that smile wasn't meant for him.

Once Yato got home to Kofuku's place, he saw a past concert of Hiyori's airing. She looked happy as she sang her songs and danced around the stage wearing cat ears and a dress with a frilly apron.

Yato stared at the screen. He stared until the clip of Hiyori's concert was over. He couldn't help but think that their eyes didn't meet at all.


A few weeks later, Yato decided that he would go to Hiyori's first concert. He did promise her that he'd go to her first one. Even if she didn't remember him, he should go.

Carrying a large bouquet of sunflowers, he walked into the concert hall.

Sunflowers... The meaning of that flower is "looking only at you."


The concert was wonderful. Even though the whole scandal was still going on, there were many fans that came to watch the star.

But there was something different about her... Maybe how her eyes had a sharper look, or that the width of her shoulders seemed so much smaller. There was a lack of confidence in the air around her.

Making his way to the front, Yato stared. He finally got to see her, but... they were so far apart. Their worlds were too far apart.

Then Hiyori looked at him.

The look that flashed on her face for a split second told Yato that she had remembered him. And everything that they had experienced together. Their dates, hugs, and kisses. How they met, their adventures together, and how they separated.

Without realizing it, Yato had been reaching his hand out towards Hiyori. And her hand was reaching out towards him.

And then she fell off the stage, onto him.

Yato's head hit the cold, hard concrete, and he felt the world going darker.

The Hiyori who had always saved me... Now she's hurting me so, so much...


"Yesterday, idol sensation Iki Hiyori fell from the stage during her concert. Thankfully, a fan was able to catch her..."

It was all on the news. And Yato felt responsible.

If only I hadn't reached for her... All these new, horrifying things happening to her... She's all alone in this... I wonder, is she lonely, like I am...

Yato could imagine Hiyori crying about her future, and being unsure whether it would be successful or if her dreams would crash to the ground.

I wonder if she feels like dying...

It would make sense. Her career was hanging on a string. She had met and remembered Yato. If it wasn't for him, Hiyori wouldn't be in this situation.

She would probably hate him.

But he would still love her, no matter how hopeless her future would be.

It didn't matter.

He would always be there for her, even if he's a small, worthless particle in her life.

It didn't matter what would happen to him. He just wanted to see Hiyori happy, to see her smile again.

She'll always be in his heart.


~Weeks Later~

"Yato~~~! You have someone here for you~~~~!"

"Huh? Is it a job? You can send them back here to me, Kofuku."

Yato yelled out towards the front of the shop.

He heard the door to the back open. He turned around, and was greeted with a hug by the girl he loved.


Ahhhhh, I couldn't have a sad ending... I love this song so much, and I jumped around in my heart when I read the manga. I love it all too much.

I'll be happy if you R&R! I will attempt to update more. It will be easier once school is out.
