Author Note: This is my very first fan fiction, I'm sorry if it's not that good, I'm trying my best to get the hang of how things work.

Ever since Hiyori decided to teach Yukine, she would come over to help him every day. During this time Yukine would work on math problems or practice writing while Hiyori watched and guided him, while they were working, Yato would sit on the bed and just watch them. Well he wouldn't really watch them as much as he'd end up staring at just Hiyori.

"I don't understand this, Hiyori," Yukine said, hitting his head on the notebook in front of him. Hiyori looked up from her own homework and glanced at the problem he was trying to solve. Yato sat up from the bed and shifted his gaze over to the two hardworking students.

"Oh! Well if you look at this…" she began pointing to a few numbers in the problem. Yato's mind immediately began to wander as he found himself unable to avert his eyes from Hiyori.

"Oh Yato, how could I ever deny my feelings towards you?" Hiyori cried, throwing herself at him. Yukine just sat and stared at the scene that was unfolding in front of him.

"Eh?" was the only response she got

"Yato, I've been a fool! You're the most amazing, talented, and not to mention handsome god in the entire universe!" she went on, her arms wrapped around his legs as he sat at the edge of the bed.

"Hiyori, are… are you alright?" Yato could not believe what was happening as he looked down at the beautiful girl with pink doe eyes that was fawning over him

"I'm not alright Yato, I'm in love!" she stood up and took his face in her hands. They were inches apart and immediately Yato's face began to burn and he tried to look to Yukine for answers, but all he got was a wide eyed expression of disbelief. Yato was forced to look back into her beautiful eyes, which were now even closer. She moved closer to him and he was able to feel her breath on his lips, without even thinking, he went to close the miniscule gap between them.

"Yato? Yato! Earth to Yato!" Hiyori waved her hand in front of his kissy type face. Yato's eyes shot wide open and flew back onto the bed, trying to hide his embarrassment, "That must've been quite a dream," Hiyori said, smiling her usual innocent smile at him

"Ah… uh, yeah, um it was about fish! And…" Yato bumbled around with his words as he avoided eye contact with the gorgeous brunette that stood peering over him.

"How exciting!" she giggled, unaware of the true nature of the dream, Yato let out a sigh of relief as Hiyori packed up her bags, "Well I'll see you both tomorrow then," she turned as she got to the door, "Be sure to study Yukine! Goodbye Yato!" she called. At the sound of his name, Yato almost turned into a puddle on the floor. All he could do was give an awkward wave back as she walked out.

The Next Day

"It's been over an hour, where's Hiyori? She's never late. Do you think she forgot about us? What if she did and we'll never see her again?" Yato sat anxiously on the edge of the bed and continued to ramble on to Yukine, "Maybe she went to pick us up food. But why didn't she reply to my texts? Or answer my calls? What if sh-"

"Yato!" Yukine interrupted, unable to handle his lovesick attitude anymore, "Why don't we go out and look for her instead?" all he got in reply was a nod and pretty soon they were running out the door. Not too far away from Hiyori's house, they heard a loud scream and raced to the source of the noise. There they found Hiyori in an alley surrounded by three extremely large phantoms.

"JUNGLE SAVAGE!" she screamed with a flying kick, trying her hardest to defend herself with no avail. The three phantoms moved their way closer and closer to the terrified girl that cowered below them.

"Sekki!" Yato yelled and instantly Yukine transformed into a shiny, extremely sharp, blade. Yato jumped at the first phantom, slicing it in half with no resistance. The two phantoms stopped advancing towards the girl, who was now sobbing on the ground, and turned to face Yato. With a yell, he ran full speed at both phantoms, and because of Yukine, he was able to cut all through the both of them. A hideous cry rang out before both phantoms vanished. Yato dropped his sekki with a tiny clang and ran to Hiyori. He knelt on the ground in front of her, and without even thinking he threw his arms around her and hugged her tightly. When he went to pull away, he was shocked to find that she was holding him just as tight and crying into his jersey. With every little sob that escaped her lips she breathed in his wonderful smell that she found so comforting.

"Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you cry for help?" he asked, pulling away to stare into her tear filled eye

"I… I thought I could handle it on my own," she whimpered, looking into her lap, "I was wrong," she started to bawl again and Yato drew her back into his arms.

They sat like that for what seemed like hours, long after Hiyori stopped crying. Yukine, back in his human form, watched from a distance as they were frozen in each other's embrace. Yato carried a sleeping Hiyori back to her body in her house and laid her in bed.

"Ya…to?" a drowsy Hiyori questioned as he was about to climb out the window

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry… for all the trouble…" she yawned, closing her eyes. Yato stepped over to where she lay sleeping

"It's alright my goddess," he whispered, "just promise me you'll always call if you need help,"

"I promise," she sleepily replied, unaware of what she was even promising to. Yato just smiled and kissed her on her forehead.

"Goodnight, Hiyori," he said before vanishing into the night.

I hope you liked it and I'm sorry if you didn't! :)
