NORAGAMI: Fates Intertwined [Yato x Reader]

-017- [BACK DOOR]

"In every loss, in every lie
In every truth, that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide."

A god was silently stood at the top of a post, eyes searching on each person's face like an eagle. Then there he saw a familiar male god laughing with a half-phantom brunette girl. He indeed found this amusing. A god of calamity showing affection to a human, the irony. Last time he checked, this god is slaying countless pathetic humans. Now look at him, weak as ever because of that being. He never even guessed he'll fall with that half--phantom. If he fall for the goddess he knew, he won't be even shocked... but with this? What has gotten to his mind?

He was about to jump in but was kicked off and teleported to somewhere else.

He got back to balance then looked at the culprit of a such disrespectful manner. He let out an amused laugh as he saw the person. "Ah, fancy meeting you here Ellie." He said as Ellie called for her regalia to change into two guns. The male god smirked then stood back on guard. He had left his regalia so he is completely naked right now, completely defenseless. "What are you going to do, Ellie? Kill me? Oh I forgot, you're a God of Tranquility. You don't do those things." He provoked.

Ellie only hummed on this then pointed her guns on him, "Let me make you rethink." She started to shoot on him, shocking him nonetheless but managed to dodge her attacks. Ellie quickly moved and teleported everywhere to just hit him which she succeeded at, hitting him on his shoulder. "Why are you spying on Hiyori, Rabo?" Ellie asked, pointing at his head with her gun.

"Ah, so Hiyori's her name?" Rabo said then backed away from Ellie who had a dangerous glint on her eyes.

"Nothing, just taking a quick stroll then spotted an old friend. Not expecting him having a 'sweet' time with his human girlfriend." He said then teleported out of the area. Ellie clicked her tongue then reverted her regalia back to her human form. Yukari looked at her master then asked, "Who is he, Ellie-sama?" Ellie sighed then started to walk, her regalia following behind still waiting for her answer. "He's Rabo. A god of calamity. An enemy."

A few days after that incident, Ellie spent more time with Hiyori. Even though she hated the guts of that Yato guy, she had no choice, she had to look over Hiyori seeing Rabo might be targeting on her. She knows Yato can take care of her but she just needs reassurance. "Hey, Ellie. Where's [N/N]?" Hiyori asked, writing on her notebook. Ellie missed going to school but she have more important tasks to do than that. Being a god is sure hard.

"Doing godly duties. Somewhere." Ellie answered then let herself fall on Hiyori's head, the bed creaking because of the impact she made. Yukine hummed as recognition as he also write on his notebook; He is currently studying Algebra. "Really? What kind of duties?" He asked, turning his attention on the goddess. Getting caught up on the topic, Yato's ears perked up.

Ellie sat up while stretching her limbs, "Bunch of meetings with other gods, and slaying phantoms."

Yato raised an eyebrow at her, "Meetings? Then aren't you supposed to be there too?" Ellie huffed then glanced at the smirking god, "I had gone the other day, and its their turn now. Why are you curious with this anyway?" She spat back, now it's Yato's turn to huff. "It's your fault for making me so curious in the first place."

"So you're still thinking about that? How stupid can you get? I almost gave you the answer!" Ellie exclaimed, using her hands in emphasizing every word she says. Hiyori closed her notebook then glanced up to the two who is now on a heated argument. [N/N]'s now gone, then Ellie replaced her in arguing with the childish god. Before their argument could continue further, a god suddenly entered on Hiyori's window.

"Bisha?!" Ellie exclaimed then stood up to approach Bishamon who had a perplexed expression on her features. Judging from what she's wearing-- a kimono only used for meetings, she has no time to change at all. "What's going on?" Yukine asked, glancing at Yato then back at Bishamonten. The blonde god bit her lip in anger then took a deep breath to calm down. "Rabo."

That's the only word that Ellie needed. She already rushed outside and teleported leaving her friends who is calling her name desperately.

"So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide"
