Hello, people of this fandom! I fell in love with Noragami and decided to write this! Now, this is my first Noragami fanfic so if I get something wrong, sorry!

Living with a Phantom inside Me

Chapter 1: The Day I Died

I laughed alongside my two friends, tugging them to my favorite video game store which made them both groan in unison. Ignoring their complaints, I let go of their hands and grinned widely at the large selection of games. I was like a blur looking at the games, going from the Wii games to the Play Station, from the 3DS to the Xbox. They had a hard time keeping up since I was just so hyper. Eventually they stopped and sighed, giving up.

"Ruffles, come on! We'll be late to the theatre!"

"Yeah, I want to see if it's as good as the rest of the people say it is!"

"Oh, shut up. Frozen can wait!" I waved off carelessly. "It starts at 3:20 and it's only 2:54! Besides," I glanced teasingly at the boy, "I didn't know you wanted to watch it so bad!"

Yep, that's me. Ruffles, like what my friends call me. I never favored my real name, so I switched it to Ruffles because of my ruffled, silver hair. I was always so hyper because I ate junk food almost every single day (my mom had to stop me yesterday) and I loved games. I have silver hair- as mentioned before- and green eyes that some people say look like cat eyes. Why, I have no idea.

Today, my friends and I were going to the movies to watch the ever so popular movie "Frozen." Why? Because we wondered what was so good about it. Especially the little tike I like to call my son. Or, my male friend. I call him that because it makes him blush and whenever he blushes, it's adorable.

Speaking of which, he blushed his adorable blush, making me almost want to pinch his cheeks, and retorted, "So what? I want to see if it's good!"

"Denial~!" I sang, tapping his nose.

Throwing my arm around his shoulders, I pulled him to the games and promised, "Hey, how about after the movie, we can play any martial arts game you get from here? I promise!" I showed him both hands in case he thought I was crossing my fingers behind my back.

His eyes brightened up immediately and he scanned through the selection of games in front of him. In a few seconds, he had a game in his hands, shoving it in my face. Laughing at his eagerness, I took it to the clerk and bought it with my money. Smiling a thank you to the guy, I ran over to my friends, grabbed them again, and dragged them out.

Stumbling from my speed, they yelped in unison which made me laugh. "Since you two are so persistent, we'll go to the movies. Okay?" Before they could reply, I challenged, "Race ya there!" I zoomed off before they could say anything else.

After the movie, I was twirling around sipping my soda gleefully. My male friend was still blushing when he snapped, "Why did you cover my eyes when they kissed!?"

I giggled, leaping gracefully to him and tapping his nose affectionately. "Because, my little tike," I chuckled, "I don't want your pure, innocent mind tainted! I wouldn't like that one bit!"

"I'm not your little tike!" he shouted back in reply, cheeks puffing when I twirled around him with a delighted expression.

Then I glomped him, rubbing my cheek against his and purring, "You're so cute when you're in denial, my son!" His cheeks turned redder than ever and he struggled to push me off but I hugged him tighter to make sure he wouldn't get out my grasp. He was just so adorable~!

"I'm not your son!" he whined, giving up since he knew I wouldn't let go until I wanted to.

At last, I let go of him, humming a tune while spinning around. I would've spun him around with me but I could see his annoyance of how I teased and pestered him. I don't know why I called him my son; we look nothing alike. But it was so worth it to see him flush. Have I mentioned he's adorable?

My cellphone rung in my pocket, shattering my pleased trance. I stopped spinning and plucked my phone out my pocket, flipping it open and answering, "Yello?"

"Hey, honey! Is the movie done?"

"Oh, hey mom!" I greeted, smiling brightly, settling to a skip of delight. I never actually bother to look at the caller ID. I just answer it even if I don't know the person. I really don't care. "Yeah, the movie's done."

"How was it?"

"They sung every damn time they were on screen. It was annoying." I deadpanned. Hey, who said I couldn't dislike things? I may be happy-go-lucky but I hate things like what happened in Frozen where they sung in EVERY GODDAMN scene.

"…so it wasn't good?"

"Well, other than that, it was pretty good, I must admit. It was cliché but it wasn't so cliché that you knew exactly what would happen. The graphics are amazing also. I understand why a lot of people like it." I explained, looking left and right before jumping off the curb. I wasn't exactly paying attention to my friends.

"Oh really? That's good. Did you have a fun time?"

"Of course I did! When would I not? Before the movie we went to Game Stop and bought this fighting game. Is it okay if they come over? I promised to play it with them since-"

A honk and loud screech cut me off. Something large rammed into me from my side, causing my body to fly onto the ground. My cup and phone flew out my hand onto the concrete beside me. An enormous amount of pain jolted through my body and I screamed at it. How fast was that car going? Wait, where the hell did it come from? I thought I checked the streets before crossing!

"Honey?! Kotone, what happened! Kotone!" My phone beeped after mom's shriek of despair, signaling that she hung up. What happened? Why did she hang up?

Because of my slowly blurring vision and people starting to crowd around my body, it took me a while to realize a part of my green shirt was hanging off of the bumper. My eyes widened in fear; they would see it! I can't let them see it! They would freak out and think I'm a demon or something like that!

But they never noticed. My injuries were what they cared about. They were all strangers but I recognized my female friend amongst the horde, trying to reach me. But where was he? My little son?

Spotting his unique hair that stood out from the rest of the people, I smiled in relief. He was staring at me in horror, shock, and… I knew he didn't want me to die. But what was the horror for? Did the car hit me that bad or does he… does he see it?! No, not him! Don't let him see such an ugly thing on my body!

More fear rose up after I thought that. A seemingly sweet voice suddenly cooed as if it was near me, "Oh, but too bad, little girl. He sees it. He's horrified. He won't be your friend anymore. If you are going to be alive though! That injury is very brutal, and with your already weak body, you have no way of living!"

"Shut up…" I muttered, glaring at the transparent figure that appeared from nowhere. It looked like a harmless cat doll in a frilly little blue silver but its eyes and mouth proved wrong. The eyes looked like they were gouged out mercilessly and the smile on it was supposed to be an encouraging one but instead it was more maniacal with razor sharp teeth.

"He sees me… He sees everything that's happening to your body! It's spreading! Soon, you'll be just like me! All you need to do is think of another negative emotion, and BAM! We'll be alike! Won't that be great?!"

"No…" I murmured, jerking when more agony swept in. Why was I feeling a lot of pain? Normally if you got hit, you wouldn't be feeling a lot of pain. Sure, it would be close but- My eyelids were as wide as they could get. It was right. It was spreading. It slowly approached my chest, making me suffer in the agony and when it did reach my chest, it pierced my heart. A fountain of blood came rushing out from my mouth as my last breath slipped away.

And there you have it! The first chapter of "Living with a Phantom inside Me"! So what do you guys think? Please tell me in a review!
