Chapter 84-2 spoilers!
"Yukine-kun!" She shouted as soon as she caught sight of the blonde haired boy across the street. She noticed his shoulders tense as he froze for a moment before he continued to walk, although now at a quicker place. Looking both ways first, she darted across the street after him, repeating, "Yukine-kun! It's me, Hiyo—"
"That's not my name!" He snapped back and whipped around to look at her, finishing in a grumble, "Not anymore."
"You…" Horror flashed across her face before her eyes moved to his clavicle. Though it was partially concealed by his shirt and jacket, she could still see the familiar kanji.
As she let out a sigh of relief, he tugged at the collars of his clothes to conceal the mark. "Yato didn't revoke my name, but he might as well have. He's using Kazuma-san now, so whatever. It doesn't matter. Just go home, Hiyori."
"That's not true!" She reached out to grab his arm, "Yato was just trying to protect you—he didn't want you to get hurt. He loves—"
"Don't." Yukine ripped his arm out of her grasp and his eyes started to well with tears, "If he really cared, he wouldn't have left. He wouldn't have left me. He wouldn't go cut his lifeline and make it as if he never even fucking existed."
He was full on sobbing now and Hiyori bit her lip as she considered what to say. "Yukine-kun," She teared up as well and took a step closer to him, "I can't say that I understand or can even begin to guess why Yato decided to do things the way he did. I was extremely upset too when I called to tell you what he told me, remember?" He didn't react, only continued to cry, so she wiped at her eyes with her sleeve and continued, "What I do know is how much he cares about you. He talks about how proud he is of you all the time. After kamuhakari, he was so worried about you that he barely ever took his eyes off you. Whatever he's doing, it's for you. I can promise you that."
Yukine squeezed his eyes shut and let out a loud cry before he shouted, "How can you promise me anything!? I thought you and Yato cared about me, but you both vanished."
Hiyori's mouth dropped open and her knees started to buckle.
"Yeah, where have you been since he left? All this time I thought we were friends, but are we? Or do you just pretend because I'm around Yato?"
Her hand flew forward before she even knew what she was doing, Yukine's face now turned sideways and his eyes wide in shock. "How could you say that!" She brought her hand back to her side, clenching her skirt as tightly as she could, "Look, I admit that I've been absent and I'm sorry. I took it upon myself to try and find Yato to bring him back home. And that was stupid, and I paid the price for it. I got hurt while in my half-ayakashi form and now I can't leave my body. E-even once I was back in my body, I was kind of weak for a little while…" Her voice faltered before she looked back at Yukine, the fire returning in her eyes, "But I never once stopped thinking of you. Of both of you. All I've ever wanted is just for you to be safe and happy. I would do anything for that."
"That's not your responsibility, Hiyori. You're just a regular girl."
"Yukine!" Another voice rang out and caused both of them to turn their heads. Yato stood a few feet away, the hat that Hiyori had given him for his birthday held tightly in his trembling hands as he looked near the point of tears himself.
Yukine let out a sharp cry and turned to run before Hiyori grabbed him again and shook her head, speaking softly, "Please, don't go."
"But I… I said terrible things to him. I blighted him. On purpose, too." He whispered to her.
"He'll forgive you." She answered immediately, "He probably already has."
"Yukine, Hiyori. I'm so…!" Yato's voice squeaked as he reached out to them. They eagerly returned his wide embrace as he continued, "I'm so sorry for everything.
Hiyori clung onto him desperately, "Yato!"
"Well, isn't this a touching reunion."
The trio froze as father's voice rung out and Yukine shifted so that he was behind Hiyori.
"Aw, Hagusa, what are you hiding for? I thought we were friends now." He looked down at the group with his usual smirk.
Hiyori squinted before looking back at the younger boy, repeating, "Ha…gusa?"
"No." She heard Yato speak barely above her whisper. When she looked back at him, he looked like the life had been drained out of his eyes and everything suddenly made sense.
Father titled his head in amusement. "In all fairness, he tried to tell you, Hiyori-chan. As for you, Yaboku, did you finally give up your fool's errand? I noticed you're unarmed."
Yato ground his teeth together, "Sek—"
"Yuuki!"
With that, Yukine was gone in a flash of light.
So I ended on a cliffhanger on purpose cuzzzzz I mostly wanted to write the part between Yukine and Hiyori, I didn't want to write the whole like final battle haha. Plus I don't aim to try and guess that much of adachitoka's story planning because I will surely fail.
