Yato X Reader (Regalia) Part Two

Part 9: Day 2

Yato's POV:
I couldn't leave the girl there, knowing she was a friend of Hiyori's. Her name was apparently Umi, and she had a pretty normal life, well... Up until now. (Y/N) and I brought her back to the shrine and she hadn't woken up till the next morning. The only thing was, she didn't remember a thing. But... She could see me, which was the strange thing. So, I told her to dial Hiyori's phone to come pick her up. Hiyori had arrived... And... So did her other friend... So, I told (Y/N) to follow me out of the shrine.

Hiyori Iki's POV:
Umi-chan had called, saying she woke up at some shrine. Y-Yato... Had brought her there. So, I walked over there with my boyfriend Satsuki, and she immediately began telling us what happened. She pointed towards the direction of the gate and tears threatened to fall. And I let them. There was Yato, slowly fading away as he walked away. "Y-Yato!" I cried as I jumped over the gate trying to grab his shoulder. His head tilted back to look at me. I felt the softness of his tracksuit before it was gone and I fell on the ground with a loud thud, tears dripping down my cheeks. "Y-Yato.." I whispered. "Hiyori! Hiyori?! Are you alright, love?!" I heard Satsuki ask me. He ran over to me and helped me up. I began sobbing into his shoulder. Why did I have to do that? Why did I leave him? Why didn't I just learn to cope with being an half-ayakashi? I left Yato and Yukine. And now... We were both suffering.

Yato's POV:
(Y/N) and I were walking out, when I heard my name being called. A hand grabbed my shoulder and I looked behind me to see Hiyori. Tears stained her face as she looked at me, until she dropped to the ground sobbing. (Y/N) looked at me worriedly. "Y-Yato, is that..." I nodded. I had severed our ties years ago... How does she still remember me? I looked to the ground to see a tiny red string... How did I not notice that... I picked it up and it led to Hiyori... I guess I didn't sever our ties enough.. This string was her memory of me... But I severed the tie that let her see me... How could I be so careless? "Yato... Are you gonna sever that tie?.." I heard (Y/N) ask. I thought about it... If Hiyori would know that I'm here, but she didn't see me, she could grow into a state of depression... The Ayakashi could torment her, then.. She'll commit suicide.. I looked down at the string in my hand, my hair covering my eyes. "Come, Sekki..." I muttered, tears threatening to come out any second. (Y/N) went into the palm of my hand. I looked at Hiyori for one last time. Goodbye, Hiyori. I looked away and sliced, the tie was cut.
