Noragami: Fallen Grace

Hiyori stared with enlarged eyes at Hitomu, who one stood infront of her. The silver mask gleaming in the moonlight, a breeze blowing over them. A sly smile coming over his features as he knelt infront of her. His cool hand tpgripping her chin keeping it in place. Tipping her chin up he stared at her observing her. Taking in the fear that clouded her magenta eyes. He loved it. The fear, he lived in this moment just by the fear that was pouring off her.

"Don't worry to much, Half-human, yours just a pawn for today's game" he chuckled out.

Letting his hand slip away from her face, he stood up. Eyes meeting his maid , Tora. No words was spoken, none was needed. She already knew what was to be done. Turning away from them she left the field.

Hitomu watched her leave before looking down to Hiyori. He smiled and snapped his fingers. The lizard wrapped his tail around Hiyori and moved away. A yell coming from her as the phantom walked off with her, followed by Hitomu. A smile curled upon his lips.

"Tonight's game, will really be Intersting" he chuckled.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yato jumped from building tel building, eyes scanning the area. Eyes in searched of the brown hair girl.

"Yato!" Yukine shouted.

Yato came to stop by the river, a breeze drifting by them.

"Yato, do you even have an idea of where to find her?" he asked.

When Yato didn't answer Yukine sighed. He already knew he didn't know. When they went in search of her they already knew the diffucuties of finding her, they can never find her but she can always find them. Yukine sighed, he could feel the pint up frustration coming from him.

Yato.

"Revert!" Yato called out.

Yukine finally stood infront of Yato. His eyes looking down, he felt useless. They been searching for Hiyori for an hour now but with no luck. Yukine had a bad feeling about this. Her disappearing out of that noodle shop with no trace. He knew that Yato knew that Hitomu is behind this.

"Ya-"

"Yukine, stay sharp. Hitomu sent his messenger" he said.

Just then, Tora walked up the path, not a sound was made. Her shoes not making a slacking nose like it should be. She had walked up to them with a fake smiled and bowed, before looking up at them

"My master would like for you guys to join the game" she stated. "Now, please follow me"

She turned and walked away, unfazed by the dark look that to was giving her. Silently they followed her, no more time shojkd be wasted. He wanted to get Hiyori back and into her body again before the night was over. Following behind the silent Tora. Yukine and Yato both made a silent agreement to do anything possible to save Hiyori.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hitomu sat next to the tall oak tree, where an unconscious Hiyori was tied to. She hung from the tree, wrist tied up, separated from eachother. Her head low and a small drip of blood trickled down her face. A smile sitting upon his face.

He watched the girl struggled as the phantom tighten its tail around her waist. A choked cry falling from her lips, tears filling her eyes. She hit the tail weakly. He could tell she will lose conscious soon, commanding the phantom to let her go, he caught her. Her head rolling to the side.

"W-why....ar...are...y..." before she could finished she was already gone.

Unconscious he movined her hair from her face, he smiled.

"You don't need to knwk why in doing this" he whispered. "Just know, I'm gonna kill you an see how far he will go"

He laughed and looked up at the girl. Her brown hair covering her face. The blood that was coming from her wasn't hers. Is was his, but just this look made him excited. Hanging her by her arms from the tree with blood made his stomach turn. In a good way. His eyes wild. He couldn't wait for Yato to see his sweet Hiyori like this. What will he do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yato froze as he stepped into the area. Blue eyes zeroing in on what hung from a tree, his eyes dilated.

"Hiyori!" Yukine shouted from Yato side.

Yato couldn't believe his eyes. There on the tree hanging atlesst four feet off the ground was Hiyori. Ragging was clear on his face as he took a threatening step forward. From where he was all he could tell was that she want moving. His heart froze, a small sting strikes him but he knew why.

"Sekki!" he roared.

Reverting to the sword Yato raced forward just a few feet away before he was hit from his left. Flying a few feet's away he hit the ground withal grunt.

"Now...now." he said. "Yato calm down. Don't be so harsh"

Hitomu stood up, an stared at Yato getting up. Yato eye narrow at him his feature darkening as hitomu shook his head.

"Now, since you here lets get right o it" he clapped. "This is a little game called Save the princess. See right now she is here, tied to this tree. You have to defeat the phantom to get to her. An this phantom is way stronger then it look."

He snapped his finger and the phantom came to him. Placing his hand on the forehead of the phantom, he contuined.

"Last time you and to fight a hundred phantoms within an hour. This Tim you must fight one phantom within thirty minute. If you cannot defeat the ohantim. Then Hiyori will die" he laughed at the face to made.

It was full of anger and the intent to cause damage to someone. A low rumble started in the sky and then the who area flashed with light. Yato striking blue eyes looked mystical in it. His teeth grinding together, rage rolling through his body. Body tense and ridged.

His eyes couldn't leave the hang Hiyori. He could see that her cord tail was fading and that wasn't good. Tightening his hand on the hilt of the sword. He faced the now approaching phantom, pointing his sword at the phantom.

"Yukine, we have to hurry. Everything is on the line right now. Hiyori can't last long" he whisper.

Closing his eyes, he calmed his nerves a little. He had to calm down to fight not just crazy but to fight smart. He only had thirty minutes but he knew deep down he can do it. He and Yukine promised to use everything to save Hiyori. So, every ounce of strength can be used. He opened his eyes, those striking blue eyes staring at the target.

"Yukine, no holding back." he stated. "Use your full force, power"

"Right!"

Yato shot of the ground, sword low before he strikes up. The phantom dodging the strike. Jumping to the side Yato missed the phatom swinging tail. Gritting his teeth Yato kept at it. The dance of dodging was getting annoying, every opening was getting smaller and smaller.

"Yato, Watch out!"
