A girl in her night gown shrieked as she leaped out of the hospital bed, where the stranger was grinning.
Staring at them through the window a blonde groaned, embarrassed and all the same entertained.
Yato for his part remained undisturbed by what he'd just done, and pushed out from the covers with a calm face, smiling slightly as he observed her reaction. "Guess you're alright if you can move like that."
The girl blinked in surprise, tilting her head, and then her eyes widened in recognition, "You're that guy from earlier!"
Yato winked playfully, "Thanks for this morning~!", he then hopped out of the bed, "I didn't really need help avoiding that bus, but you're the first human to ever save me, so thanks for that.", he walked toward a lamp in the room.
"W-who are you?"
Yato turned around and smiled at her, clicking the lamp on, "I am a god."

"Hello, police? There's a guy wearing a tracksuit who says he's a god-"
"Wait wait wait!", Yato exclaimed desperately, "I really am a genuine bonafide member of the gods! I'm the god Yato, Yatogami.", he pointed to himself with his thumb.
The girl glanced at him, "Yatogami?"
He nodded.
"I've never heard of that god.", Yato blanched, "Not once!", he clutched his chest in horror.
And then he stood back up, "Heh, well, I'm sort of an up-and-coming stray god right now 一 but just you watch! I'll soon be known far and wide!", he spread his arms grandly, "I'll become a god everyone will bow and wish to! And then 一 I will someday stand as the land's highest god!", he was lost in his own world again. "Hehehe 一 kreee kekekekekekekeke!"
The girl watched him in bewilderment, as the so called god cackled maniacally before hacking at his dry throat. Damn, he hasn't had any water in a month.
Yato coughed once more before sitting back up, suddenly in a different mood, "It's gonna be stormy tonight, plus this place is crawling with 'em.", he muttered, and then turned to the girl, "I can't really stick around without a Regalia," he bit into an apple, "And Noras' already in use tonight, so. . ."
The girl pointed at the basket in his hands, "Wait! That's for me!"
"Hey, what's your name?", Yato asked.
Something clouded over the girl's pink eyes, "Hiyori. Iki Hiyori.", the fog lifted and she clasped her face in surprise.
Yato remained passive to the girl's surprise, chewing on her ー his banana, "Hiyori. . . ", he mumbled thoughtfully, then swallowed his bite, "All right, I've made sure you're ok. Now we're even.", he hopped from the couch, tossing the apple in the air and shoving it into his pocket, and jogged to the window, "See ya!"
"Huh?", he slid the window open, "Wai-", the words caught in Hiyori's throat as Yato jumped out the window, a bright moon crowding his figure in silver light.

Yato jumped to the top of a building, where an old friend waited.
A very very old friend, one who had been with him a long time. Blonde hair, blue eyes, strange whisker marks, and orange clothes. The odd god called Uzumaki Naruto, as Naru-chan for Kofuku, Uzumaki for acquaintances, and Naruto for Yato.
