I'll Never Let You Go Yukine x Reader Sequel

Chapter 19: The Solution

Your POV:
All week, the gang at Kofuku's had been doing little things to make you feel more at home with them again.
Hiyori painted your nails, Yato taught you how to draw, Yukine spent some time playing video games with you, Kofuku smothered you to death (as usual), and well.. Daikoku just yelled at you.
It was all an effort to make you happy, to make things return to their normal state, but... it just wasn't working.
You still felt like a burden to them, as they were doing lots of things for you. Not only that, but you were still a Nora. That surely didn't look good on Yato's part.

Though the marking above your breast had slowly begun to fade with each passing day, it eventually stopped its decay. It was there on your skin, like an erase mark that had failed to fully disappear. It was a mistake.

You sighed, softly brushing your fingers against the marking on your chest as you limply fiddled with your fork.

Everyone had sat down for breakfast early this morning, all immediately digging in except for you.

"(Y/n)? Aren't you gonna eat anything?" Hiyori asked with concern noticing that your plate was still full of food despite everyone else's being almost empty.

"Yeah, I made this for you so you'd better eat it. Grocery money doesn't come by often these days," Daikoku butted in from the kitchen, the sound of kitchenware clinking against itself other signifying that he was doing dishes.

You continued pushing your food around with your fork, a frown tainting your features. "Sure.. I'll eat something.." You mumbled.

Yukine's eyes patiently looked you up and down as he sipped what was left of his apple juice. "Well.. you're still not eating anything.."

Something deep inside of you twitched in annoyance at that very comment,

I just said I would eat something, don't these idiots listen? A voice in the back of your head remarked, though it wasn't your own.

"I said I would, I just-"

"But you're not." Yato joked, incessantly nudging you in your shoulder.

Your eye twitched as your grip upon your knife became tighter.

Just SHUT UP! I said I would fucking eat it, so leave me alone then!  The voice in your head darkly exclaimed, as you yourself wondered where the sudden irritation was coming from.

Why were you getting so angry? Everyone was just joking with you, it wasn't something new. But for some reason, you were becoming more and more heated by the moment, the irritation deep inside of you boiling with fury.

"If you want something else, I can-"

"I SAID I WOULD EAT IT, SO LEAVE ME ALONE!" You spoke with a morphed demonic voice, as a ghostly white tendril appeared out of thin air, and rapidly whipped itself against Hiyori's cheek without a second thought.

There was a terse moment of silence before an abundance of horrified stares from everyone sitting at the table.

Your eyes widened, as you realized what you had just done. A chill ran down your spine, and the single tendril retreated back into the center of your body.

Hiyori held her cheek softly, a red mark beginning to take form. Her magenta eyes were confused, but for the most part were fearful.

"H-Hiyorinn! Your poor cheek! Yatty go get some medical supplies!" Kofuku cooed her, quickly rushing to her aid.

You began to breathe heavily, questioning what exactly it was that came over you to make you hurt Hiyori.

"I-I didn't mean to hurt you!" You exclaimed apologetically, earning back everyone's attention.
