Yo guys! So here is the latest chapter! Anyway today is my birthday so I'm just gonna do some anime marathons. Most probably on Free!. I don't most of the characters. They belong to Adachitoka sensei!
We appeared at the doorsteps of a house, the house pretty huge and nice. The area was a high class area so the person who lives here must be pretty well off. Man, its normally the rich ones that have the most problems due to the men womanizing and such. Akito leaned into a nearby bush and hurled, making a choking sound as he stood up. "Never teleport again," he muttered as he tried to stand up. "Sorry but that's the fastest way of travelling," I said when the door swung open.
"Yo! We've been waiting for you!" Yato grinned as he pushed us into the house. The entrance was huge, a large staircase in the middle with a chandelier swinging on top. At the front, a large portrait hung on the wall, consisting of a woman and a man. I presumed they were the not too happy couple. "The lady is already upstairs," Yato said as he lead me up like a butler. We came to a long corridor where he opened a seemingly random door to reveal a large drawing room. Yukine stood in the corner, hands in his pockets as he eyes the woman in the chair, who was sobbing hard.
"Ah, Yato-san. And this must be Aiko-san?" she asked as she shook hands with me. "I heard you have been having a problem with your husband?" I asked as we sat down. Akito stood beside my chair like a sentry, his hands behind his back. "Yes… recently he started to see another woman and I don't even know the reason for it! Also, money from our bank account has been disappearing and I have a feeling he's supporting her with it!" she sobbed as she blew into a handkerchief. Man, I'm the goddess of love, not a lawyer who does marriage counseling. "My husband will be here soon," she sniffed as she tucked away the handkerchief.
"Sorry, may I know what it your name?" I asked. "Nanako," she said. "Nanako-san, may I have your hand please?" I asked and she looked at me in surprise but she did it anyway. As I took it, I gasped as her memories flooded into my mind. Nanako was in a park, walking the dog when she heard the sound of crying coming from nearby. When she hid herself behind a bush, she saw her husband sitting on a bench, his arms around a woman, who was sobbing into him. As the woman looked at him, he stroked her cheek and kissed her gently, ceasing her crying. I could feel Nanako's heart breaking into pieces as she ran for her life, sobbing uncontrollably.
The scene warped to Nanako rummaging through her husband's working bag. As she dug her hands through it, a few pieces of paper came in her hand and I recognized them as checks. Her hands shook as she saw the amounts that had been withdrawn and she sank to the ground, sobbing hard. The scene warped to her husband coming home and kissing her. As they kissed, she caught a wiff of perfume from his coat. "That's not my perfume," she thought as they embraced and she silently cried to herself.
I removed my hand, shaking slightly. Nanako merely looked up, looking slightly dazed. "What did you just do?" Yato demanded as the Shinki looked in both amazement and bewilderment. "I have the ability to access people's memories by one touch. That way I am able to see if they are giving a true account of their situation and whether to cut their ties or mend them," I said as the door opened. "Nanako, I'm home!" her husband called as he entered. He stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes darting between us and his wife, who looked haggard after all the crying.
"Nanako dear, what is going on?" he asked as he approached her but she swatted his hand away. "Get away from me you cheat!" she shrieked as she sobbed even more. "Nanako, I don't understand! Are these lawyers?" he asked. "Do I look like a lawyer?!" Yato demanded as the man turned to face his wife. "Nanako, you have been acting strange these few months. Just tell me whats wrong and we'll get this right," he started to say when she started to scream. "You have been seeing your secretary, Hanabi haven't you?!" she shrieked and her husband rocked on his feet.
"Nanako… you know I will never do that…" he said but she continued to scream. "I saw both of you kissing in the park! I saw all those checks you wrote! I know where you've been all these so called long nights of yours! You've been sleeping with her, haven't you?!" she yelled as the lights started to falter. "Oh shit…" Yato muttered as a black cloud formed above her. Her husband shook, his hands gritted at his sides. "Nanako. Please listen to me. You've got it all wrong!" he yelled. "Why should I listen to you?! I have all the proof to divorce you!" she yelled as he stumbled back.
"What did you say?!" he yelled as a small Phantom appeared on his shoulder. "Stupid woman," it squeaked as it hopped on the ground. "Stupid woman!" it shrieked as it ran over the floor. "Yato…" I muttered as he cried out, "Sekki!" Yukine transformed and landed in his open hand. "This is bad, I have to cut their ties or they'll be engulf by Phantoms!" he shouted as he prepared to reforge Sekki. "Wait, we still have to get the husband's testimony!" I yelled as the room shook.
"Does it look like there's time to do that?!" he yelled back when the small Phantom became larger until it smashed out of the window, landing in the garden outside. "You're not getting away!" Yato yelled as he ran after it. "Come, Denki!" I yelled as I held out my hand. Akito transformed and landed in my hand and I stood my ground, Denki shaking in my hand. "Mr and Mrs Sayo, let's just talk this out like civilized people and all will be well in a while," I said. The situation was intense. I was holding a sword at a couple who were being controlled by Phantoms.
Nanako looked at me and screamed, lunging at me. "WTH?" I yelled as I leapt back, slamming into the wall. She snarled, possesed by the Phantom she had created. "Nanako?!" her husband shouted as he rushed to her but she snarled again, jumping on him, her hands wrapping around his throat. "You betrayed me, Yuu. You betrayed me," she growled as her hands tightened around his neck. He choked as he started to lose air.
Damn it. What should it do? If I don't sever their ties, she will kill him and turn into a Phantom. "Aiko-sama. Touch his arm!" Akito yelled and I looked at my blade. "Are you sure? How are we going to get near them?" I blurted as the wide strangled her husband. "Just do as I say!" he shouted and I nodded. "Yato!" I yelled as he soared through the window, having had killed the Phantom that had escaped.
"Get her off him! I need to read his mind!" I yelled and he nodded, wrestling the mad woman off her husband. "Sorry," I said as I grabbed Yuu's hand. He sat on a bench with a woman, Hanabi I presumed. "My mother is so sick… I don't have enough money to take care of him, Yuu-san. Please. I need your help," she pleaded as he wrapped an arm around her. "I will help all I can," he said as she grabbed him and kissed him hard on the mouth. He gazed at her in horror as the sound of rustling bushes came from behind. When nothing came out, he rubbed his head as he looked at the woman next to him. "I'm a married man you know. We shouldn't be this close," he said as she blushed. "I am so sorry!" she cried out as she bowed in apology.
Yuu sat at his desk, staring hard at the checks he had written. "I should really tell Nanako about this… but then again, she looks like she has had a lot on her mind lately so its better not to burden her with something like this," he said as he tucked them away in his bag. The scene changed to him hugging Nanako, who stiffened as she smelled his clothes. When she broke off and hurried away, his heart sank as he realized that she may have gotten it all wrong…
"Yato! He's innocent!" I yelled as Yato wrestled the woman to the ground. He knocked her at the side of the head and she collapsed, her breathing shallow. The Phantom controlling her plopped onto the floor, crawling towards Yuu, who lay motionless. "We can still save their relationship!" I yelled. "We can't. She's been consumed by the Phantoms! If we don't sever their ties, it will wreck havoc!" he yelled. "I say we mend their relationship!" I shouted, holding up Denki. "I say we rend!" Yato yelled, holding up Sekki's twin blades.
"Mend!" I yelled. "Rend!" he shouted back. "Mend! Rend! Mend! Rend! Mend! Rend! Mend! Mend! Rend! Eh?! Haha, caught you! Damn it Yato!" we yelled at each other. "Just mend it!" both Shinki yelled and we stopped out fight. "Come on, Aiko-sama. Let's do this," Denki said and I smiled. "I win," I grinned at Yato, who scratched his head. "Do the honours," he said and I lifted my two fingers.
"Your prayer has been answered loud and clear! I, Aiko, hereby mend your ties! Seal!" I shouted, slamming Denki down on the Phantom that lay on the floor. It howled, spinning in circles until it disappeared with a pop. Slowly, Yuu opened his eyes and he saw his wife on the ground. "Nanako!" he cried out as he held her in his arms, stroking her cheek. "I was so stupid! I should have told you that I was helping Hanabi. I would never date another woman! You are my one and only true love! Nanako, I love you so much!" he sobbed as tears trickled down his cheek.
"I forgive you," a small voice said as Nanako opened her eyes and smiled at him. "Nanako!" he cried out as he kissed her hard on the mouth. "I'm sorry for saying all those things to you," she said as they kissed again. We just stood there, looking out of place with our weapons. "Thank you so much for saving our relationship," Nanako said as Yuu supported her. "Don't mention it! Just Yato the delivery god doing his job!" Yato grinned as I smacked him on the arm. "It doesn't feel right to pay you just five yen though…" Nanako said as she handed him a coin. That ass is still looking for money after the whole commotion.
"Your wish has been granted," he grinned as he flipped the coin in the air, catching it again. "Well then, we'll be going," I said as someone shrieked. Nanako had gone to the balcony and her eyes were wide. "What happened to the garden?!" she shrieked as Yuu joined her. "Yato… what did you do…" I asked as he grinned sheepishly. "Well, I may have broken a few pots here and there…" he said when I saw what he had done. The garden was a wreck, the fence caved in and all the pots smashed to bits. "Yato…" I growled as he squealed in fear.
