It Started With A Kiss

Chapter 1: Unexpected

I feel as if I don't know where to start...

I've been so busy lately, I don't know what to do...

Last Night

"Oyy Hiyori!!" My attention was shifted when an annoying familiar voice called out. So much for peace and quiet.

"What do you want?" I asked with annoyance on my tone. I stopped on what I am doing, tilting my head slightly to see Yato standing up.

"What's up with you all of a sudden?" Yato noticed.

"What are you talking about?" I asked with a oblivious look on my face.

"You've been acting weird lately ever since you got here." He leans closer to me, observing me carefully, "Did something piss ya off or something??"

Too closee...

"No of course not.." I laughed nervously, "Sorry Yato, I'm kinda busy tonight." I closed my journal and shifted my eyes to Yukine.

"Yukine-kun, we'll continue our study tomorrow okay?"

He smiled in return. Before I made my exit, Yato ambushed me from behind.

"Wait! You said that if you have problems, you would tell me right?" He exclaimed. His arms were enclosing my waist, begging me to spill.

I blushed at his sudden action, "I told you, I'm fine!" I said, trying to struggle my way out off his grip, "Let me go, Yato!"

"No! I won't let you go unless you tell me what's wrong."

"I told you no!"

"Hahh ~ those two are such a great couple ~" Kofuku said in awe, blushing at the background. "Never knew Yato would be flirty in getting a girl."

"More like disgusting." Yukine coldly muttered.

"Hey you lovely - doveys! Get a room!" Daikoku shouted.

"Would you stop it Yato?!?!" I kept on pleading, as I try to remove his arms off of my waist. I stepped forward so I wouldn't fall over in case he tries to collapse on me.

Heck, I rather not let him collapse onto me!!!

"Hiyori, just tell me what's wrong then I'll let you go."

Unable to release from his grip, I kept on denying, refusing his help, "I keep on telling you, No! What's with all the questions---Yukine stop him!" I tried calling out desperately to Yukine but Yato kept on gropping me tightly making me almost lose balance. "Yatooo--"

"Why not Hiyori?" He pleaded. Puppy eyes started to appear on his face. "Just tell me what's ya pissing off and I'll let go alright--?!"

I whipped my head to him, "My issues have nothing to do with you! Now leave me alone, will you?!" I snapped, leaving Yato shocked. Caught off guard, I slightly glance at him and say, "T-then I'll see ya later." I hopped my way out of the window, leaving Yato speechless.

"That's what you get for forcing her." Yukine prompted, crossing his arms over his chest. "Give her a break for once will ya?! You know the thing called privacy?" He kicked him in the shin.

Yato bent down, wincing in pain, "Shut up!" He cursed.

"Hiyori-chan sure is pretty stressed lately." Daikoku noted.

"Something's up with Hiyori and I'm gonna find out." Yato lifted his thumb on his chin, "I gotta find a way to cheer her up somehow."
