NORAGAMI: Fates Intertwined [Yato x Reader]

-010- [MYSTERIES, MYSTERIES]

"Truth is like the sun; You can shut it out for a time but it ain't going away."

- Elvis Presley

Shizune held back [N/N]'s hair as she puked on their toilet. Having no other choice, the god ended up telling her secret to her whole household since they are the ones with her everyday anyway, and plus she really needs help. Soramaru came back to where they are then handed his master a glass of water to wash her mouth with. [N/N] took it with a shaky hand, then gargled it to remove the nasty thing on her mouth that tastes like shit.

The door from their shrine was opened by Hanamaru; Her hands full of foods that [N/N] told her to buy even though Hana told her not to eat a lot of those.

"I got them. But you need to eat something first before you eat these sweets." Hana said sternly, then walked beside [N/N] who looked like a sick person who was sat on the bathroom's floor with Shizune. "Okay..." [N/N] said then stood up, heading for her bed then went to lie down once again. Shizune walked beside her then sat on the edge of her bed. "[N/N]-nee... You can't just hide here throughout the day. Ellie-sama will notice something's wrong." Shizune said matter-of-factly making the goddess groan. Hana sighed, stopping the urge to hit her master on the head knowing she's very emotional on this kind of state.

As if on cue, Ellie entered the room. [N/N] immediately stood up and greeted her cousin who looked at her weirdly, "Hey." Ellie greeted, placing a hand on [N/N]'s forehead, checking if she has a fever since she is acting weird today. The god of tranquility flickered her gaze to the four people on the room in accusation, feeling there is really something off but shrugged it, thinking it might just be her imagination.

"You haven't gone out of your shrine to have an argument with Yato today, which is so... new?" She said, raising an eyebrow at her cousin who frowned at her. "So you really think I'm a troublemaker?" [N/N] scoffed then glanced at Hana with teary-eyes, "Even my own cousin thinks I'm a troublemaker!" Hana sweat-dropped then went to comfort her somehow 'emotional' master who started to cling on her. Ellie's eyes blinked in surprise. Her eyes narrowed at [N/N]'s three regalias, demanding them to tell her what's going on. The three gulped then shook their head in panic as sweat started to drift of on their backs. "Nothing! I think she just woke up from the wrong side of the bed." Hana reasoned out.

Ellie hummed then dragged her cousin away, teleporting them on some food stalls she found while roaming around Tokyo.

[N/N]'s eyes lightened up as she caught a glimpse of foods that are coated with chocolate. She happily dragged Ellie to that stall, shocking the younger brunette. The god pointed several items to try which confused the god of tranquility more. "When did you get this... addiction with chocolate?" Ellie asked, eyebrow raised knowing something must be up. Chocolates might be so addicting because of its contents and taste but she knew [N/N] is avoiding them as much as possible, so she wonders why.

Ellie sighed seeing her cousin is unaware of what she just asked because she's so busy trying this bunch of sweet stuff.

A few minutes of being dragged by [N/N] to try different foods, Ellie is now regretting bringing her here. She let out a tired groan. To make the things more interesting, the trio had came up as well making her curse under her breath. "[N/N]! ELLIE!" Hiyori called up, running to them with a big smile on her face; Yato and Yukine following behind her quietly.

"Oh hey... Hiyori!" Ellie greeted and was pulled into a hug by Hiyori. Hiyori pulled away and looked around with a confused expression; her eyebrows are furrowed and she had a slight puffed cheeks. "I swear I saw [N/N] here, where is she?" She asked making Ellie also grasp the situation, looking around them as well. She let out another tired groan, massaging her temples as she started to find for her cousin, who is definitely acting weirder than normal. The trio, who is now also confused, came along with her and started to find the childish goddess.

"[N/N]-ANEKI! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! I SWEAR I'M NOT GOING TO BRING YOU ON A PLACE LIKE THIS AGAIN!" Ellie called out, her eyes flickering from one person to another to check whether it's her cousin or not. Hiyori sighed, getting tired of all the walking but her face lightened seeing the girl that they are trying to find. They approached her with an amused expression, as she played with the crane where you put tokens to be able for you to have a chance getting a stuffed toy.

[N/N] had her tongue out as her gaze never left the stuffed toy she has her eye on in concentration. The crane slowly went down to pick up the toy, and it is successfully been lift up but fell down instantly making the girl whimper in frustration. "This game sucks! This is unacceptable! So rude! I will sue you!" [N/N] ranted out as she is being held back by a laughing Ellie.

"A-Aneki! I swear! There's something wrong with you!" Ellie laughed at [N/N] who was sat on the ground with a defeated expression, Yato laughing on the background as well. The goddess stood up then faced Yato, her eyes teary as she pointed at Yato accusingly shocking the male, and the other three as well. "You're so rude, Yaboku! A MEAN LAZY RUDE GOD! HIYORIII~" She sobbed out then hugged Hiyori. Hiyori looked at her in shock then turned to glare at Yato who had a baffled expression on his features. The half-phantom raised an eyebrow at the god who let out a defeated sigh then apologized to the over-reacting female who already pulled away from Hiyori to look at him.

"I don't want to see you again. I'm going home." [N/N] said tiredly, then teleported back to her shrine; leaving the four who is shocked on what happened, clearly not understanding what's happening to that female. "Ellie, what happened to her?" Hiyori asked curiously. Ellie let out a sigh then shrugged, following her cousin back on [N/N]'s shrine.

Ellie spotted her cousin sprawled on her bed, talking with Hanamaru and Shizune. Knowing she is not known to be there, she listened to their conversation carefully from behind the slightly ajar door.

"[N/N]-sama, I guess you should take fruits instead. And have a plenty of rest." Hanamaru suggested, pulling the sweets away from the craving goddess who only whimpered at her and tried to get her sweets back. "Do you want me to tell Father?" Shizune asked, patting the hair of her 'older sister'. [N/N] sat up, looking at Shizune who is kindly waiting for her answer. "Why?" She asked. Shizune sighed, "Well, since Yato's our family, it's our responsibility to take care of the upcoming child of yours and Yato's, even though he still doesn't know."

Ellie's ears perked up because of that, then felt her blood boil. She angrily opened the door shocking the three occupants of the room. She fumed, "YOU ARE CARRYING YATO'S CHILD?!!!"

"Uh... No?"
