The God and the Dragon-Phoenix (Yato x Reader)

Chapter 9: Name

"Yato is...Yato is going to die!" You cried, as Yato was still sprawled weakly on the ground, sweating profusely and his breathing heavy, fighting the blight that almost covered his entire body.

Daikoku looked at the blighted body, before he quietly evaluated the situation at hand. Watching you (Clarestia), the Esara Princess of the Light of Cosmos,  would shed tears, was really not something common for people begging for you. Taking in your blighted form, cringing from the sight and pain you most most likely trying to endure and Hiyori who was surely exhausted, he decided to give in.

"You two are the only ones I'm letting inside," he spoke gruffly.

And as soon as he said that, the you stumbled forward, passing over the line, as if the light on the ground now was merely a decoration. He looked at the blighted form of you who glanced at him with tears are the corner of your eyes.

"Kofuku, Can you purify Lady Clarestia's and cleanse her and Hiyori's blight?"

"Right." Kofuku nodded as she gestured her hand in. "Come, Clarith, we're going to the bathroom."

Kofuku reached for the head of a shower before twisting the knob to let water flow through. As water poured through, "

"This water is pure. It pump in directly from the spring in the garden," she explained to you, cringing how she could stand up so straight, even as her body was almost filled with blight. "Come over here and wash your body."

"I can't wait, Yato needs this more than me!" you suggested.

But Kofuku shook her head. "It's too late for Yatty's blight to be cleanses now." Kofuku sadly said, making Hiyori tense.

"It can't be...how..?" Hiyori trailed off, looking at her blighted friend she too is shock to hear this.

Kofuku spoke up."Yuki...he needs to be punished." she too trailed off.

Aki knelt down Yato looking at him worriedly as he had his phone trying to call the brotherhood for help as you requested earlier. Yukine, who was outside merely looked down at Yato's blighted body, before he scoffed.

With...slight envy in his eyes.

"Kofuku, take over for a while." He said taking off his apron. Reaching his arm out and handing it to Kofuku he continued, "I'm gonna visit some nearby shrines."

"What type of punishment is Yukine going to get, exactly?" You asked.

Daikoku looked up from his arms to meet you. "He needs ablution."

You gasp.

"An ablution is a ceremony for expelling blight. It requires three Regalia's to pull it off, so we'll need two more besides me," he explained.

Kofuku looked up to Daikoku in worry, "Just to be clear here, you know what will happen if ablution fails, you do right?"

"Yeah."he nodded "Regardless we  need the other Regalia's here right away," he reasoned with her as you looked in horror.

Daikoku moved to the porch, releasing the borderline and looked at Yato. He was clutching his mint scarf, his mouth agape and breathing heavy. "He doesn't look like he'll last until the morning," Daikoku muttered in sadness.

"Yukine...." Daikoku called out, making the blonde boy move his eyes from the ground to dark red orbs. "Take one step from where you're standing and I will kill you." he threatened before walking away.

"Yeah, whatever." Yukine scoffed in disgust as Kofuku watched the ill-mannered boy before sitting down on her knees formally, watching him with her purple eyes.
