Crossroads of destiny [Yato x Bishamon, Noragami]

Chapter 3 - Answer

Another week was gone, he was still at her castle, but not injured this time.

Yato wanted to become a God of Fortune so he decided to learn something from the other 7 Gods, he started with the mightiest one.

" So, you want me to teach you how to be a God of Fortune?" Veena asked again

" Yes, I know you're not a good teacher but you're all I've got." Yato said

Yukine punched him in the stomach, that God could get on Bishamon's nerves so quickly.

" Hm, what do you want to know? I'm a God of war, Yato. You're similar to me. We both kill, try to use the only thing you know for good purposes. "

" You do more than killing, teach me your ways."

" If that's the way you say that you want to spent time with me okay. Let's take a walk, Yato. "

Veena and Yato left the castle and they walked far away to be alone.

" Why do you want to be a God of fortune ? " Bishamon asked him after some time

" Because I want to be better, I want to change and I want to be loved , I guess. "

Bishamon blinked.

" You are loved. Yukine loves you, that girl , Hiyori loves you. Even Kazuma loves you. "

" Loved by everyone just like you."

" Hm, there's one particular person who doesn't love me."

" Who? I mean you're the mightiest, strongest, gorgeous Goddess alive. How could someone hate you?"

Bishamon laughed at his words.

" I'm talking about you. " she smiled

" Oh ."

The goddess smiled.

" Yato, sometimes you need only one person and if that person loves you it's enough. "

" You can't understand! You are a loved God, everyone worships you. You're -"

" Shut up, Yato! I'm far from perfect. Five months ago I'd agreed with you but now I can't. I don't think the same way anymore. "

Because there's that person who doesn't love me, she thought.

The silence slipped between them. They haven't talked until they arrived at the place Bishamon wanted to take Yato.

" Go in that cave, there's one mirror. You can find any answers there. I'll wait right here." Veena said

Yato agreed with her and he went inside.

The cave was full of darkness but in the middle was the mirror.

" I can see your deepest thoughts, God Yato. "

" Who spiked?"

" The mirror, idiot. I can see what is in your heart now. I will answer at that question for you. "

" Fine, tell me how to be a God of fortune. "

" That's not your deepest worry. "

" Of course it is!"

" You care about Bishamonten more. "

He blinked while he was looking at the imagines that were in the mirror. Imagines with Bishamon and him.

" She was right, Yato. You need to be loved by only one person to be better and she loves you already."

" Who ? "

" I think you know. "

Yato was already gone for one hour, Veena was ready to go after him, but then she saw him coming out.

" How was it ? You found your answer ?" She asked

Yato looked at her. He smiled slightly.

" Yeah. "

" Good. "

The answer is right in front of me, he thought.
