It Started With A Kiss

Chapter 10: Confession

After what happened, Kofuku explained everything to Yukine and Kazuma that its only a dare.

Yukine secretly took a pic of Bishamon and Yato. Afterwards they head back upstairs, letting Kazuma calm Yukine down.

Bishamon was the first to pass out so Kofuku and Daikoku carried her upstairs leaving Yato and Hiyori alone.

Feeling jealous to what happened, Hiyori took the remaining sake from the table and began drinking it.

Yato stared at Hiyori as she drank most of them up. She exhaled heavily as she also started to become drunk as well.

"Wow Hiyori, didn't know you could par~~ty." Yato was impressed.

She look at Yato for a minute then stepped closer to him, "Ne Yato~~" she began, holding a sake on her hand, "Do ya luh-like someone?"

Yato looked at her, observing her words carefully, "Why d'you ask?"

"Just tell me, do you?" she asked again, not looking at Yato, instead, just looking the sky. It's already nighttime and stars started to appear making the night beautiful to look at.

She plays with her feet, waiting for his answer. She glanced at Yato when she noticed that he's not drunk anymore, probably because of Bishamon, leaving Hiyori the only one drunk. His face was covered in bandages and so does his body. His shirt was a bit torn, he took off his jacket and gave it to Hiyori so she won't feel cold.

Hiyori hiccupped, "Are you okay Hiyori?" He asked, who has a concerned face. Hiyori face was flushed, her cheeks were turning pinkish and seemed cheerful even if she's drunk.

"I-*hiccup* -I'm fine, Yato."

"You're not fine, look at you." He reached out his hand to her but she slapped it away.

"I told you I'm fine. Why are you asking all of a sudden?"

"Hiyori... You're drunk, how is that fine to you?" Said an exclaimed Yato.

She sighed heavily. Yato leaned closer to her as she was mumbling something. "Ya know Yato, that feeling that when a girl likes a guy, confesses her love but then turns it down all of a sudden?" She shook her head, "You know one thing Yato, when no one can see you and the next thing you be forgotten, that's the most painful thing that anyone could ever imagine."

"I wonder, why is love so confusing sometimes." She said, looking down at her feet.

Yato listened to the tone of her voice. Deeply hurt when it comes to love. As if she was about to lose someone.

Hiyori slightly nudge at Yato's hand, who's holding the sake, snatched it and finish all of the remaining sake. "Even they became best o' friends, they were afraid that it will ruin their friendship..."

Yato's eyes were wide opened, "Hiyori..."

She exhaled, "A guy and a girl...they became friends but slowly develop their feelings for each other...but they were afraid to admit it.."" Hiyori, not knowing of what she saying, explained. Yato began to worry about Hiyori.

A guy and a girl...they became friends but slowly develop their feelings for each other...but they were afraid to admit it..

Yeah, I know that feeling...

"Man I think that sake took an effect on you, Hiyori."

She shook her head, "you know what else, Yato.. That feeling when a guy hangs out with a girl, turns out to be your enemy, the girl became really jealous but because of her best friend smiling, she can't help but smile too. But..when the girl saw her best friend hung out more with his girlfriend, she was left out. She soon cried of what she just saw....Her best friend and her enemy....making out and yet in front of her. She stood up, pretends to be happy of him, and walk away. Just like that." She snapped her fingers.

"Hiyori what are you sa-"

"It's you Yato. Its all about you." Hiyori confessed.

Yato has a surprised look on his face. His cheeks fluttered a little, "Hiyori...I-"

"When I first met you, I thought I was crazy seeing things then after I saved you when you were chasing Milord, I knew that I wasn't.  You, too save me countless times, I couldn't help but be thankful that I met a guy like you Yato." She curved a smile, "You're the only guy who would understand my pain, the only guy who knew how I feel. How does it feel to have a someone who can count on. And so I grew fond of you Yato."

"But then," Tears began to prickle as it slides down to her rosy cheeks, "I can't help but feel jealous all of a sudden. I don't why but..it hurts so much... When you want to cut ties but I don't want to and I never wanted to. It hurts a lot Yato, so much... Especially to that stupid dare..." She sniffed, her eyes slowly turned red from all that crying, Yato stood there listening to every word as she confesses it, pleading her heart out as she let all of it out off of her chest.

"...that dare hurt me the most Yato, so much, that when you kiss her directly. I can't help but take her place. I know you and Bishamon are friends but... why? Why does it hurt... why does it hurt soooo much?" She clenched her fist on her chest, breathing and choking heavily, "why does it have to be you Yato!! You are such a jerk. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! So stupid, that you make me fall in love with--" Her sentence was cut off when a strong yet gentle hand swiftly gripped her face as Yato kissed her softly. Hiyori's eyes were widened with shock when she felt his lips closing in on her.

Yato parted, "you talk too much, you know that? That'll teach you to shut up." He smirked, "Who's stupid now?"

"Ya-" He cut her off by capturing her decent lips again. Stunned, she kissed him back. Her lips taste like alcohol but it didn't bother cause the girl of his dreams is right in front of him. As their bodies touched, she wrapped her arms on his neck while he swooped his on her waist making her to not lose balance.

"You-are-such --a -jerk-" She briefly said in a low tone between their kisses. She was having hard time breathing but she doesn't care.

"Yeah, I may be a jerk. But doesn't mean I'm the kind of jerk who never stops loving you." Yato confessed softly.

He kissed on the tip of her nose. He used his thumbs to gently wipe her tears away from her beautiful pale face. The moon reflected her eyes, showing her sparklin' pink eyes as it met Yato's turquoise eyes.

"You have no idea how I really wanted to do this." He teased. They kissed one more time. When they parted, Hiyori fainted afterwards. Yato caught her in time before she fall. He carried her in bridal style as they walked upstairs.

Meanwhile he spotted Kofuku, eavesdropping.

"I thought you were asleep?"

Kofuku smiled, "So is it official?" She asked. I glanced at Hiyori, who is asleep already into my arms.

"I'll take that as a yes."

They head upstairs. Bishamon and Kazuma already left while Daikoku and Yukine fell asleep.

Yato placed Hiyori gently on the bed. She seemed pretty peaceful. Her face is still a bit pink from all that alcohol.

"Aww you two are so cute." Kofuku chirped.

"You should go to bed, Kofuku."

I smiled at her but his eyes never leaves Hiyori.

She nodded, "I'm glad that you two made up." and with that she went to Daikoku and snuggles at his chest.

Yato chuckled softly. He turned at Hiyori and lay down next to her.

"G'night Hiyori." He gave her a soft kiss on her forehead and snuggled her before he fall asleep.
