We will live on Together, Forever (Kamisama Hajimemashita After Story)

1. A Fight and a Confession

Nanami's P.O.V:

Awoken from the morning sun and chirping of the birds, I got up drowsily wondering what time it is. Looking at the clock reading 6.30. So I got up, dressing myself into casual clothes and making myself ready for the day. Finished, I walked out of my room and into the kitchen sitting down at the table, watching my familiar Tomoe cook breakfast.

"Good morning Nanami, I hope you had a pleasant night.", Tomoe greeted me kindly. "Morning Tomoe and yes I had a pleasant night.", I responded. "That's good, are you hungry already?"

"I'm almost starving!"

"Yes? So here you are, your breakfast is served.", Tomoe chuckled as he placed a big plate before me. Immediately I dug in gulping down the delicious food. Tomoe suddenly began to laugh by the scene. He found something so funny about me. I stopped eating giving him a questioning look, but all he could do was laugh and laugh. Soon I also began to smile brightly, enjoying the moment. Seeing Tomoe laugh so heartily, I rarely get to see.

But then suddenly Tomoe stopped; making serious expression. I wondered what caused him to stop so sudden. "To--""Shhh", He cut me off with his index finger before my mouth. Making clear to be quiet. Then I heard something from outside. It sounded like something is being destroyed. Tomoe got up making his way to the source where the noise came from. I too stood up wanting to know what was going on outside. But... "You stay here I'll check what's going on!", my familiar exclaimed furious. "But Tomoe, I--", I got cut off again. "No, you will stay here. I don't need you to get in danger again, Nanami!"

That's when it shocked me. With that said Tomoe ran off lighting his fox-fire. It struck me in the heart again so hard that I immediately began to cry. Being hurt of what he said. 'It's just like that time, when the miasma was spread all over the shrine. Tomoe said he and Mizuki won't need me and I ran away', I thought upset. Crying so hard thinking, that Tomoe probably hates me now. Sobbing over and over. 'But why? We just had so much fun.' still thinking. "N-no, no, n-n-no." Tears rolling down my cheeks. "I c-can-n't l-leave. t-this is my h-h-ho-om-e." At the word "home" I started to cry even more, because everything came up again. The whole memories I wanted to abandon about my father, how careless he was towards me and my mother. How I was thrown out of my house, cause: My father was missing again....

A few minutes later I sat there crouched on the chair deep in thoughts, calmed myself down. My eyes red and puffy from crying. My body was trembling all over. 'The last time the shrine was almost destroyed from that miasma spider and I was the one who defeated it. Yes, with the help of Tomoe, but I was the one dancing. Then why can't I now help?' trailing on. To fast my train of thoughts stopped when I heard noise from outside; it sounded like there was a fight going on. Just as my instinct said I ran in the direction hoping that nothing had happened to Tomoe. 'Even though he might hate me now, I can't let him get hurt. I don't care what he says! Even if it hurts me in the inside, I can't let him get hurt as my familiar! As my favorite familiar! It always hurts me much more when he is suffering to keep me save! Because, b-because I-I l-love HIM!' I screamed in my head while running. Finally seeing what's going on, I saw Tomoe fighting against a much bigger demon. His opponent seemed equal to him. That made it for Tomoe hard to defeat. "Tomoe!", I screamed without thinking. Of course that distracted the familiar hearing his masters voice call his name. And he looked this way. Sighting me standing there frightened.

Right in that moment the demon used his chance and struck the fox-demon with some kind of power. Tomoe flew a few meters back and into a pillar of the shrine building. I started to run towards him to check if he is alright. There arrived I sat down beside him wearing a worried expression.

"Tomoe are you alright? Tomoe!", I exclaimed frightened. "Yeah...I am.", he said in a low voice. A sigh of relieve escaped my mouth hearing that. "And besides, Nanami. SHOULDN'T YOU STAY INSIDE?!", Tomoe shouted. I wince at his sudden outburst.

"But I--"

"No, you don't!", Tomoe growled.

"Tomoe, I just wanted to help y--", again I got cut off.

"I don't need any of your help!"

"But why won't you even let me try?", I asked upset.

"It's to dangerous for you!", Tomoe shouts. Now he has done it. Now I was really angered. It was really nerv-racking that he treated me like a small kid. That could nothing and everything was to dangerous for it.

"You know what? I've had enough of you treating me like a child. I may be a little fragile, but that doesn't mean I'm as weak as a small kid!" With that said I stood up turning around wanting to run away. Away from him, away from Tomoe and everything. My eyes showing anger. But Tomoe grasped my arm before I could even make a step. I turned my head to him with an enraged attitude. His eyes on the ground. "Don't leave..." I heard him mumble under his breath. Still looking to the ground, his bangs covering his face.

"But when you do not want me to leave, then at least let me help you!", I exclaimed furious.

"Don't treat me like a weak child. It makes me upset." I went on. "It's for your own safety Nanami!", he replies. Now looking me deep in the eyes "Then why, why? When it's for my own safety! Why do you say you don't need me?!", I screeched. "And why is it the whole time always to dangerous for me? I don't understand it anymore. I do not know if you want to protect me or that you really don't need me anymore! What is it that makes you say this the whole time? Just tell me w--"

"It's because I-I love y-you!", Tomoe shouted now peering direct through my eyes. His cheeks a little flushed at those words. Those words made me calm my voice down and I saw the blush spread over my familiars face. The kitsune was now looking away to the side avoiding eye-contact with me. I was surprised hearing those words from him, him, the almighty fox-demon Tomoe.

"I love you, Nanami. More than anything in the world. I can not bare it seeing you suffer in pain. That's why i want you to always be safe. To whom I can always return and forget everything that happened just by seeing your smile.", Tomoe explained in a soft tone. "Is that true, Tomoe? Do you really love me the way I am?", I asked not believing that he had just confessed to me. "Why yes, of course!", he said when suddenly some strange power came between us. We automatically turned to where it came from. There the demon stood which Tomoe fought earlier.

"Oh yeah, forgot you big guy.", Tomoe laughed surprised. But then he ran towards the demon and defeated him with striking him one time with his fox-fire. There the demon lied down on the ground motionless before disappearing.

"Oh man... Now I couldn't even do a thing...", I sadly said. "Nanami, you were right now a great help. If you weren't there, I could've probably not defeat this demon so easily." After saying this Tomoe gave me a peck on the lips which was pretty sudden, because I was blushing madly. Deep shades of red. "Oh, Nanami, were you crying before? Your eyes are so puffy and red.", my familiar asked. "Ugh, n-no.", I stuttered avoiding his gaze. "I'm so sorry. This was all because of me." Tomoe took me in a tight embrace, stroking my hair a little.

"For now on Nanami, will you be my girlfriend?", the kitsune whispered in my ear. The feeling of it, tingling, as his breath touches my skin.

"Yes, I will. I love you Tomoeee!", I responded happily.

"I love you too, my Nanami.", my new boyfriend chuckled. And he kissed me again, we both feeling happiness and love from the bottoms of our hearts!
