Kami no Hāto

Astonishment of a God

Many months have passed since the death of Kureha and the jersey wearing God had been quite restless. Everyday he would been seen at her grave under the cherry blossom tree paying his respects to the woman he loved more than anything. But he would not be alone. By his side was his new regalia Tsukine. Or the name taken by his late mistress. Tsuya. Like Yato,Tsukine struggled with the realization that her mistress was gone. Such a promising and beautiful life had been taken. A life that Tsukine was proud to be a part of. But it was also a curse in its own. She desperately missed Kureha and so did Yato. The two would sit at her grave for hours,silent tears rolling down their cheeks which showed their infinite sorrow over her death. Yato knew she wouldn't want this. He knew Kureha would have wanted them to move on. To be happy without her. But how could they? How could he? How could he smile everyday without her by his side? Yato needed her,he needed to hold her in his arms,to feel her flesh pressed against his own. To hear her whisper his name.

Just one more time. But Yato knew better he knew if he saw her once again. He knew that he could never allow himself just a mere touch a mere kiss. No. He wanted to be greedy he wanted her. All of her,now and forever. Even if he had to wait centuries,Yato would wait no matter how long for her return. And today was no different. With Tsukine by his side,silently paying respects for Kureha;Yato's phone rang signalling he had another job. Biting his bottom lip he answered the call. Answering as the happy go lucky jersey wearing God he was.

But on the other end of the phone the voice belonged to a young woman. Who from what he could tell was in desperate need of help. "Please help-! They are after me!"She cried before the phone went dead with only the dial tone echoing in the background. Regretfully Yato rose to his feet as did Tsukine who knew what they needed to do. Drying her tears she and Yato teleported to the sight of the job. Which appeared to be a highschool,which was bustling sigh students. And a large mob of phantoms.

The phantoms came in all shapes and sizes and appeared to be chasing after a female student. She ran as fast as her feet could carry her,until finally being cornered against the wall by the menacing Phantoms. The young girl yelped as one of the phantoms bared it's fangs at her. "You smell nice" "You smell nice" The phantoms mimicked as the young woman gripped onto her head hoping to stop their constant chatter."S-Stop it...Stop it!"She shouted as Yato swooped down before her,along with Tsukine who was now in her weapon form.

He aimed the blade towards the Phantoms before speaking to her. "Your safe now-"He began before tilting his head back towards the woman but stopped in mid sentence. The person he saw before him was someone he believed would be gone for a very long time. But it was her. The woman he had wept for,the woman he had come to love so long ago. "N-No way."Yato whispered completely in shock as was Tsukine who couldn't take her eyes off the woman before them. "M-Mistress?"Tsukine whispered as the phantoms lunged towards them.

The woman didn't know what came over her,but she found herself pushing the man out of the way. Daring to allow herself to be harmed by the monsters before her. "Stay away!"She shouted as a brilliant azure light ripped around the phantoms lashing out towards them until nothing but thin air remained. The woman stared towards the man behind her before stumbling to her knees completely out of breathe. She was exhausted,but the more she looked at the man. The more she couldn't help but to cry. In her heart she knew him. No. She felt that she knew him.

She soon found herself stretching her hand out for his. Taking his warm hand in her own. She liked this. She liked this feeling,and she recognized this soothing warmth. All she wanted to do was hold his hand forever. But the moment his handsome blue eyes landed on hers,the woman couldn't help but to gasp as images of the man along with many other people seemed to invade her mind. She gritted her teeth at the sudden intrusion before the final image of the man with tears in his eyes haunted her mind. He loved her. And she knew why.

Because she knew him,and deep down she knew she could never forget him. Not him. Not her dear Yaboku. Tears of happiness made themselves known to her as the woman hugged the still in shock Yato who welcomed her warm touch. "I'm back! I'm back Yaboku."The woman cried bringing tears to Yato's eyes and Tsukine's. She was back. She was his love. His Kureha. And he would never let her go. Even of they were to face many hardships he refused to lose her again. The two couldn't help but to smile towards one another before sharing a well deserved passionate kiss.

The Jersey Wearing God and the once tainted Celestial Being were reunited once again. And they were determined to remain together for the rest of their days as it should have been so long ago. Because they deserved it more than anyone.
