Yato's eyes sparkled as the woman before him nodded, a smile on her elegant face. His hand was held in both of hers and he couldn't help the giggle that escaped from his lips and it wasn't just because her soft fingers were tickling him. No, there was a different tickle that was making him giddy and that was the prospect (though he knew this was a fact before today) that his dreams would indeed come true!
"So that's all that I have to do?" he asked excitedly.
The woman nodded.
"That seems easy enough, just rescue the princess from the tower and I'll have everything I can wish for?!"
Yes, he could now imagine it, his throne in the large mansion at the center of the town as everyone worshipped him, begged him to take them in under his wing. Maidens would flock to help him relax, some would massage his feet, others would fan him, and a few would feed him fruits. He needed at least two for each task. And they would all have brown hair and golden eyes. He giggled once more.
Beer every day, worshippers! A fountain of five yen coins, he'd be the envy of every god.
A gleam entered his eyes and he pumped his fist in the air, "Alright then! I'm headed off to that tower!"
The woman only smiled at him mysteriously and gave out one warning, "Yato-san, just be warned that on your journey there will be mischief a plenty and do remember, it must be the princess that you bring back and no others. Until then I await your arrival."
But by this time Yato was no longer paying attention as he caressed the bottle of coins he always carried around in his jersey. He would need to buy a bigger container! Surely with everyone worshipping him and giving him five yen coins at every hour he'd need something bigger. Perhaps a pot, a round one that would even fit him inside or perhaps a large vase with intricate designs. One personally made by him, the design that is. It could depict his heroism as he saved this Snow Princess and then he could get it replaced later on with that fountain! A gold one would be his best bet!
A smirk covered his face as he shut off his phone.
This mission would be his top priority. He set off on his journey with only a turned off cell phone, a half-empty five yen bottle, a jersey suit, and the information that the fortune teller had just told him.
A tower in the forest that held a sleeping maiden, a princess that would be so grateful for his services that she would reward him handsomely!
A/N: I'm thinking about a crossover with SnK, any thoughts on this? Just to have some side characters...hmm...
Hope you enjoyed!
