It was a regular day for both Yato and Yukine. Walking down the streets of Japan and spray painting the walls with Yato's number. Yukine was happy to say the least. He was smiling and whispering inside his coat. Wait...Whispering inside his coat? Yato stopped walking and looked at Yukine. Looking to the side, Yukine avoided Yato's gaze.

"Yukine...are you hiding anything from me?"

"Umm..."

"Yukine. If you don't tell me...I will find out."

"...Fine..." He unzipped his jacket and in Yukine's arms was a cat. A dark gray cat with light green eyes. "You know, I'm thinking about calling her Umi because her eyes remind me of the sea." At the sound of her name she meowed in approval. Purring into Yukine's chest. Yato slightly clenched his jaw. At that moment Yato and Umi were glaring at each other. "Umi are you hungry?" Yukine asked breaking their staring contest. She meowed at him lovingly. She turned back to face Yato and he swore the cat looked like she was plotting ways to kill him.

"Yukine, as your master I order you to get rid of the cat."

"Her name is Umi and like hell I'm gonna do that." Said cat rested her head on Yukine's shoulders. If cats could sneer, Umi was doing it right in front of Yato.

"What an adorable little cat!" Kofuku gushed. She lifted up Umi who didn't look the slightest bit amused. She wriggled out of her grasp and went to lie down on Yukine's lap. "Aww I think she loves you!" Yukine blushed at her comment.

"No...I just really like cats. And she's a good cat." He replied as he pet Umi who purred all the while. Yato was brooding in the corner. Nursing the scratch on his hand. Umi scratched him when he tried to envelope Yukine in a hug.

"Damn cat..." He mumbled.

"You do know you're going to have to feed and take care of her yourself right?" Daikoku stated.

"Yeah, I understand. Keeping her might be a hassle. But hey, I deal with Yato don't I?"

"Hey!" Yato yelled. He did not want be put into the same category as the cat.

"Oh don't be such a baby Yato."

"Says the boy who has to sleep with a night light." That was a low blow even for Yato. He was the first one to know that Yukine was afraid of the dark. Yukine huffed and walked up to his room. Umi trailing behind him. Not before sending another glare his way.

"Yatty that was mean." Kofuku replied. "Hehehe no need to be so jealous of a cat."

"Who says I'm jealous? Because I'm definitely not jealous. Nope not one bit."

"But Yatty it's so obvious. You love Yukki!" She teased.

"Shut up." Yet he didn't deny it.

"Hohoho I can read you like an open book Yatty."

"Yeah, yeah. It's not like he returns my feelings."

"You never know you could just ask him. But first you need to apologize to him."

"You're right." He went upstairs to find Yukine fast asleep, Umi sleeping by his side. The shrine that Hiyori made them sitting on the desk. She thought it was a good idea to install a little light in the shrine. And there it sat, a warm glow illuminating from the inside. He sat down beside the boy and pushed his bangs out of his face. Yato thought of how lucky he was to have someone like Yukine be his sacred treasure. As cheesy as it may be, Yato thought Yukine looked like an angel in that moment.

He wanted so much to give the teen a kiss. He leaned down to do just that until his face was met by a set of very sharp claws. Yato immediately retreated down the stairs where he yelled into the nearest thing he could find. Which happened to be Daikoku.

"What the...Yato? What the hell happened to your face!?" He yelled.

"Yukine's cat from hell...I swear as a god that Umi wants to get rid of me."

"Well she isn't the only one." Daikoku mumbled.

"I'm sorry Daikoku. Did you say something?"

"Nope, just thinking that you're just over reacting."

"I swear she's plotting to murder me."

"She's just a cat Yato."

"Yeah, a cat from hell."

"Sucks to be you. Now get out of my house!" Daikoku yelled, grabbing him by the scruff of his scarf and hurdling him into the sky.

Yukine spent the next day helping around the shop and shopping for Umi. She followed him everywhere. She was a sweet cat, kids would always come up and ask to pet her. But when it came to Yato, the frisky feline made it obvious that she didn't like the god one bit. Speaking of Yato. The god was sleeping in one of Tenjin's shrines. He went back to Kofuku's place and went to apologize for what he said. He stopped short when he saw Yukine sleeping passed out on the floor.

"Holy! What happened!?" He yelled checking for a pulse. He sighed in relief when he figured out that Yukine was alright.

"Oh, Yatty! Yukine had a very tiring day. He ran a bunch of errands and did some community service. He decided to lay down for a bit but ended up sleeping." Kofuku explained.

"Hold on a second….Where's the cat?"

"Umi? She's right on your shoulder. Why?" Yato screamed and tried to fling the cat away but instead Umi scratched the back of his neck. Yato was struck with the sense of deja vu. Once she was done mauling Yato she licked her paws to clean them. Glaring at Yato.

"Ouch, that hurts almost as worse as a blight." He whined rubbing his wounded neck. "Kofuku can you hold Umi, while I apologize to Yukine.

"Of course Yatty." She held onto Umi with a vice grip. But not too hard. Just enough to keep her from attacking Yato.

"Yukine, wake up." Yato nudged the teens shoulder. After a couple of tries he woke up. Albeit a bit groggily.

"Hmmm, what is it?"

"I'm sorry about what I said yesterday."

"I forgive you."

"...I know what you're going to say but hear me out...wait. What did you say?"

"I forgive you. Besides it's true isn't it? Now I'm going to help Daikoku with dinner." he got up from off the floor and went to the kitchen.

"Ne, ne Yatty. You still have to confess your undying love to Yukine."

"No way."

"Yatty. The truth is going to come out sooner or later."

Yato huffed, "I'll do it when I'm good and ready."

"Suit yourself." She let go of Umi who waited patiently to be released. Once free she pounced at Yato. Claws out and ready to scratch. Yato's screams could be heard from all the way to Hiyori's.

"Daikoku...what was that?" Yukine asked as he was heating up the soup for the udon.

"I think it sounds like someone got what he deserves." Daikoku smiled as he was preparing dinner. Yukine just shrugged it off and went to work as well. Next thing they know Yato is sitting down for dinner with a ton of bandages covering his face and other parts of his body.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Yukine yelled.

"I don't wanna talk about it…"
