Yay! Another update! Sorry it took so long. A guest reader asked for some more Yatori fluff a few chapters back so I added some here. Hope you guys like it!


Their swords clashed together, both trying to knock their opponents weapon out of their hands.

They took a step back before running towards each other again.

It was like tag.

A violent tag.

20 minutes has passed and yet Fujisaki didn't even break a sweat while Yato was already a puddle.

Blocking another attack, Yato cursed under his breath.

At this rate, he would never win.

His heart clenched at the fact that once he loses this stupid duel, Hiyori will be once again in the hands of this...this bastard.

Why did he even ask for a duel in the first place? There was no way he would win.

Might as well take a try, he thought.

In the corner of his eyes, he saw Hiyori stir.

Seeing Yato distracted, Fujisaki smiled evilly before charging and stabbing Yato right in the ribs.

Yato coughed in pain, doubling over and clutching his bleeding side.

He can't give up now.

Not when he's so close in having Hiyori back in his arms.

Yukine, feeling his masters feeling, glowed with power.

"Alright Yato, let's finish this guy off!" Yukine encouraged.

Yato nodded and grinned. He felt powerful all of a sudden.

Yato was full of scratches while Fujisaki had none. He was still in perfect shape.

Yato's going to finish him off with one last blow.

His eyes grew ice cold and void of emotion. He's going to win.

He let out a battle cry and charge head on to Fujisaki.

Fujisaki grinned, ready to block his attack.

"Don't underestimate us!" Yukine and Yato both screamed as he knocked Mizuchi out of his hands and chipping her a little.

Yato won.

He sighed in relief and caught his breath.

"Revert, Yukine."

"W-We won, right?" Yukine asked as he stared at the chipped sword in front of them.

"Yea..." Yato grinned at Yukine proudly.

"YES!" Kofuku, Daikoku and Yukine all screamed in victory.

Fujisaki walked towards them slowly.

"What? Not satisfied?" Yato snapped and got into a ninja position.

Fujisaki shook is head with a smile on his lips.

"Well? What's the thing you want me to do? It's part of the prize, isn't it." Fujisaki stated and waited patiently for Yato to speak.

Yato was dumbfounded. He never thought Fujisaki would agree so easily.

Yato eyed him suspiciously before he spoke.

"I want you to stop controlling the masked ayakashii. I don't want another masked ayakashii to exist." Fujisaki hesitated for a second before nodding.

"A lose is a lose, I keep my word."

Then he disappeared.

Yato sighed in relief.

"Hiyorin!" Kofuku squealed.

Hearing this, Yato turned on his heals and dashed back into the cottage where the rest were.

Hiyori's spirit was already put back into her body, and was just starting to wake up.

She blinked a few times and looked around at the people surrounding her.

A warm hand grasped hers tightly.

"Ya...to?" She whispered as she tried to sit up.

"I'm here." Yato responded and helped her up, still holding her hand tightly.

"Hiyori, I'm so glad you're okay." Yukine smiled brightly and leaned in closer.

Hiyori smiled back and nodded. She took a closer look at Yukine and found wounds all over him. Her eyes traveled to Yato and saw wounds on him too.

"Wha-What happened to you two?" Hiyori asked, alerted. She ran her long fingers over a gash on Yato's cheek.

Yato winced a bit but forced a smile.

"It's okay. We're not hurt too bad."

"Yato-chan and Yukine-kun fought reaaally hard just for you, Hiyorin!" Kofuku chirped cheerfully.

"F-For me?" Hiyori started to tear up.

"You didn't have to..." She whispered. Hiyori looked at her lap as her tears fell, not wanting them to see her like that.

"Course we did! You're an important friend to us!" Yukine grinned.

Hiyori cried harder when she heard that.

"Yeah." Yato whispered in her ear quietly.

Hiyori lifted her head and looked at him.

Their eyes locked and neither could look away. Electricity ran through them.

"You're an important person to us, Hiyori." He smiled at her. Such a sweet smile that she turned completely into a pile of mush.

"Um...Alright...Maybe we should...uh...go first..." Yukine stuttered awkwardly, seeing that Hiyori and Yato were having a moment.

Kofuku and Daikoku nodded, giving each other a grin. What a cute couple.

They silently tiptoed out the small house, before bursting into giggles.


Hiyori blushed madly and shifted uncomfortably under Yato intense gaze.

'Seriously,' she thought embarrassedly, 'stop staring so much!' She couldn't take it anymore. It was hard to look at him.

She closed her eyes tightly.

Yato chuckled lightly at her cute reaction. Oh, how nice was it to have her back.

He kissed her lightly on the cheek, earning a surprised squeal from his girlfriend.

He grinned mischievously before grabbing her waist and pulling her close. Before she could react, he kissed the hell out of her.

They only kissed once, when they first started going out, but that was nothing compared to this kiss.

Yato was being exceptionally rough, claiming her lips over and over again.

Hiyori clasped his sweater tightly, knowing that if she didn't, she would probably slide onto the floor.

He kissed her so desperately, so lovingly, she almost burst into tears.

Yato's mind completely shut down. All he could focus on was how warm she was, how soft her lips were against his dry ones.

In the few hundred years that he's lived, he's never felt so satisfied, so happy.

He decided then, that no matter what happens, even if he has to lock her up, that he wouldn't let her leave him again.

Minutes passed and if it wasn't because Hiyori had to break off for air, they would've continued kissing.

She panted lightly, her face completely red.

Yato saw how swollen her lips were and felt oddly proud to be the one who claimed them.

Though he wasn't first to do so.

That dark thought made him sulk sadly in a corner.

Hiyori tilted her head slightly in confusion by the sudden change of the atmosphere. Was it something she did?

"E-Eto...Yato..." She stuttered quietly, fidgeting with her fingers.

Yato turned his head mechanically towards her, his face miserable.

Hiyori stumbled for words. What was she supposed to say? She had no idea at all.

"Ano...e-eto...So now that the masked ayakashiis are gone, does that mean we can ask Tenjin-sama for a way for us to be together?" Hiyori asked, suddenly remembering their 'deal.'

Yato blinked and stood up quickly.

"T-That's right! Lets go!" Yato grinned widely, his thoughts a few seconds ago gone. He grabbed her by the hand and pulled her out.

"Y-Yato! M-Matte!" Hiyori screamed as he dragged her out, eager to find Tenjin.

Yato banged open the door only to have three people fall through.

"Itai! Mou, Yattie-chan! That hurt!" Kofuku complained loudly as she rubbed the lump on her head.

"Maybe we shouldn't have leaned in so close to the door." Yukine sighed as he rubbed his aching head as well.

"I already said that we should leave." Daikoku scolded as he dusted off his pants.

Yato and Hiyori stared at them.

"Um...By any chance, were you three listening the whole time?"

"Yep!" Kofuku happily answered and grinned cheekily.

"Even the part when you guys were making ou—"

"W-WE WEREN'T!" Hiyori screeched loudly, her face tomato red.

"You so~ were." Kofuku countered.

"We were not!"

"Were too!"

"Were not!"

"Shut up!" Yukine yelled, his patience finally snapping.

"We all saw you guys sucking each other's face off, so there's no need for you to deny it, Hiyori." Yukine crossed his arms. Hiyori blushed an even deeper shade of red.

"Alright. Let's go to Tenjin now." Yukine concluded and walked away.

Everyone else reluctantly followed the young shinki.


I'm so happy I'm earning loads of favorites and followers! Lots of silent readers out there but...I decided not to complain anymore. Well, next chapter they're gonna go find Tenjin and ask for a way so that Hiyori and Yato can finally be together! Maybe Tenjin was only lying since he thought they would never destroy all the masked ayakashii? Maybe Fujisaki was lying and is going to come back for revenge? Lol I dun know!

R&R Please!
