I followed after Yukine, and a few minutes later, we were there. Suzuha's tree. Cherry blossoms were blooming and it was an incredible sight. The thing is, everytime Nora visited, I remembered more and more. I could feel myself slowly disappearing into this world, slowly getting dragged away. I wanted to enjoy these last moments I had left with my family, Yato, Yukine, and Hiyori. "I miss (y/n)" I gasped and spun around. There stood a little girl, only about 7 years old. She was holding a picture frame, and her body was shaking in silent sobs. A woman, her mother probably, was holding her tightly. "She hasn't visited us in months." The girl managed to choke out a sentence. "S-she promised." It was just a whisper, but I heard it. "I bet there's nothing to worry about. She's probably just busy with high school and everything." The mother smiled, but there was sadness in the smile. My breath hitched as I walked towards the little girl. A picture...of me. The girl was my sister, and the woman was my mom. My memories came in waves, smashing against my skull. As long as I don't remember how I died I should be alright...right? I sucked in a breath as Yukine finally realized I wasn't next to him. He saw the picture but didn't say anything. We both knew we couldn't stop the memories from coming back. Disappearing on Kai's birthday huh. I fell in love with Kai once before, and I was falling for him again. I was falling for Yukine, but I was going to disappear. A tear rolled down my cheek. I pulled Yukine into a hug, whispered a simple, "I love you," and collapsed into his arms.

No! Not again! Suddenly, Yato appeared next to me. "She's remembering too much, let's go, keep her away from Nora, its all her doing."  Grabbing onto me, Yato teleported us all back to Kofuku's shrine, where Yato's mini shrine stood. Drip. "A few more memories and she's gone. Forever." Nora smiled. "Follow me Yato, Yukine." Kira's life was in Nora's hands, so we did the only thing we could do. We followed her.

"Ah, Yato, so you came." A man with blood red hair and emerald eyes walked towards us. Yato's eyes widened in realization. "Ito." Ito laughed, but his eyes were hard. "Let's finish what we started, shall we?" "Sekki!" I flew into Yato's hands. I was determined to win this. I had to, for Kira. Ito called for Nora and without wasting any time, Yato pushed off. I clashed with Nora, Ito smirking the whole time. I gritted my teeth. Sharper. Sharper. Sharper! I pushed myself. Save Kira. Sharper! Yato managed to cut Ito's cheek. Ito's mouth opened slightly, the only sign of surprised he showed. With inhumane speed, Ito knocked me out of Yato's hands. "Rekki!" A scythe flew into Yato's hands. Kira was fighting for her life. We all were. Ito's smirk only grew bigger. Yato swung Kira around, slashing where Ito stood a second ago. "Impressive." Ito teased. Ito sliced Yato's shoulder, grinning as blood soaked his tracksuit. Yato hissed, but swung Kira again, this time grazing Ito's leg. Seeing that Ito flinched, Yato swung Kira at Ito once again, only to have her knocked out of his hand. "Yukine!" Yato shouted, allowing me to turn back. "Kira!" I slid towards Kira as Yato called her name out. "Sekki!" Yato threw one of the katanas to Kira. Yato and Ito kept jumping and dodging, nothing was working. Suddenly, Kira entered my field of vision and slashed Ito's torso. Ito groaned, but threw a knife at Kira. She gasped and fell backwards. "Yukine!" I ran to Kira, barely managing to catch her. "I-I remember. Everything. Kai, no Yukine, I love you." Kira smiled, but she was disappearing. I choked on a sob. "I l-love you too... (y/n)" Her eyes widened, but she smiled, before disappearing in a thousand particles.
