Hi everyone. Thank you for coming to read this story, first off. Second of all, this chapter was written almost a year ago now but I wanted to hold off on posting it. Then my laptop screen broke so now I am posting it so I can't lose it again. This chapter will be a little confusing but as this story goes on, you will understand everything. Don't worry, I do have a plan. Each chapter will be an episode, yes, an episode, of the Noragami anime, though if I can fit in the OVAs I will. I hope you guys enjoy and leave me a review to let me know what you think!

Naomi Iki sat in her classroom as she did her school work, her face blank as she mindlessly completed her work. While she worked, she stretched her senses out, listening to everything around her as she did so when she heard the wind whisper in her ear.

"The god Yato has released his Regalia, Tomone."

With not so much as a sigh, as this had become a common event, Naomi placed her pencil down and bowed her head, her dark brown curls falling forward to hide her face as she muttered words under her breath. Light briefly flashed before she stood up, now wearing a long sleeve dark green shirt, a dark blue jean jacket, jeans, simple white tennis shoes with green lining and a silver infinity ring necklace with a matching ring on her right ring finger. In her seat, however, was a clone of her, still wearing her school uniform as the clone continued the assignment. With that, Naomi vanished from sight.

When Naomi reappeared, she found Yato sitting on a bench, hugging his bottle of 5 yen coins.

"Another Regalia quit, Yato?" She asked as she stepped into his line of sight, her green eyes seeming to glow as they met his icy blue ones.

"Ch-Chiyo! How do you always show up right as a Regalia quits on me?" Yato whined as he met the shorter girl's eyes.

"Yato, it's my job, remember?" Naomi, or rather Chiyo, answered as a clipboard appeared in her hands and she began to write something down. "Tomone was her name, correct? Well, in the eyes of both you and Takamagahara, you are, once again, Regalialess."

"Do you have to say it in such a dull voice?" Yato asked as he raised an eyebrow at the girl that appeared only 13.

"Yato, you know I have no other voice." Chiyo stated blankly as her clipboard vanished. "Now, I'll see you once you get a Regalia again. I need to meet up with my sister." With that, Chiyo vanished once again.

Once Chiyo reappeared, she was wearing her school uniform again as well as a coat as she took her clone's place and began to run towards her sister and her friends.

"Hiyori!" She called as much as she could. The dark haired girl turned and smiled as her little sister reached her.

"Hey Naomi! How was school?" She asked with a smile.

"Same as always." Chiyo answered, her dull voice discouraging Hiyori as it always did. When she saw the look in her sister's eyes, Chiyo turned to Ami and Yama and asked, "Was she watching martial arts again?"

"Yes." The two girls answered in unison.

"You haven't told your parents right?" Yama asked as she looked at Hiyori.

"Uh, no. I'm pretty sure my mom's head would explode if she found out I'm into this stuff." Hiyori answered as she glanced to the side. If she could, Chiyo would have chuckled.

"Oh my! What a crude hobby!" Ami mimicked the girls' mother.

"You'll bring dishonor on the Iki family name with such unladylike pursuits!" Yama joined in.

"Honestly, dear" Ami started.

"Don't you want to meet a suitable husband?" The two finished in unison.

"Okay stop it! That's just plain freaky, you two sound just like her!" Hiyori cried as she began to wave her hands in the air dramatically. At that moment, Chiyo wished her expression could change. As the four girls started walking, Yama asked,

"Anyway, Hiyori, are there any guys you do like? Besides Tono, of course!"

"Yeah, like someone closer to our age who isn't a famous fighter?" Ami added.

"Huh? Well, um, someone I like…let's see…No, I don't think there is anybody." Hiyori answered when Yato walked past and the two locked eyes. As they did, Chiyo caught a faint hint of red as she kept an eye on the two of them.

"Ohhh! There you are!" Yato suddenly cried and both Hiyori and Chiyo stopped and turned to see him jump into the street as a cat, Milord the poster had said, ran across it. "Hey! No! Come back! Don't you run off! Milord, wait!" Suddenly, Hiyori ran into the street and pushed Yato out of the way of a bus that hit her instead. Chiyo's expression didn't change as she quickly made a clone that ran towards her sister as Yama yelled,

"Hiyori!" The real Chiyo, however, ran to Yato and the other Hiyori, the one who now had a tail.

"Running into the street like that?! What kind of idiot are you?!" Hiyori yelled at Yato. "You realize you could've been killed?!"

"Yeah, aren't you missing something?" Yato asked, looking a little nervous.

"Hiyori, look." Chiyo said as gently as she could as she placed a hand on her sister's shoulder, showing her her body and Chiyo's clone as the clone and Yama shook Hiyori's body.

"Huh? Huh?! HUH?!" Hiyori cried as she watched her body and the people around it.

Chiyo stood beside her mother at her sister's hospital bed as the two of them, her father, Ami and Yama waited for Hiyori to wake up.

"Hiyori? Please be okay! Hiyori!" Her mother cried. "Her eyes are opening!" And sure enough, her sister's pink eyes were open, staring at the five of them.

"Thank goodness you're awake, we were so worried." Her father smiled.

"How do you feel? Are you in pain? Don't just stand there, dear, examine her!" Mrs. Iki cried worriedly. Mr. Iki examined his oldest daughter and smiled as he finished.

"Good, everything looks normal." He said.

"Unbelievable!" Ami and Yama cried as they hugged while Mrs. Iki sighed in relief and Chiyo let out a sigh of her own.

"So I'm okay, Dad?" Hiyori asked.

"Well, your CAT scan looks just fine and your EEG appears normal too. Considering you were hit by a bus, it's a miracle you only have a few scratches." Mr. Iki answered as he petted her hair.

"A bus hit me?" Hiyori asked.

"Whatever the tests say, I'm still worried. If anything should happen to our precious Hiyori or our precious Naomi." Mrs. Iki wrung her hands together nervously as she spoke. "We should keep her here for observation, it is our hospital!"

"Calm down, dear. There's a list of patients waiting to be admitted." Mr. Iki reasoned.

"Even so-" Mrs. Iki started.

"What about the other guy?" Hiyori asked. Chiyo tried her hardest not to stiffen at those words. "What happened to him?"

"Yeah, another person…I think I saw someone." Yama said thoughtfully.

"What? Nobody else was there though!" Ami contradicted. "Hiyori was just suddenly lying in the street!"

"Are you sure?" Yama asked. "What do you think, Naomi?" Chiyo simply bowed her head, her curls hiding her face.

"You've been through a trauma. Maybe your memory's still a little hazy." Mr. Iki reasoned.

"I'm sure there was somebody there!" Hiyori cried when her eyes suddenly began to droop.

"Oh, my poor dear, you must be exhausted." Mrs. Iki soothed. "Why don't you get some rest?" As she walked out of the hospital room with her family, Chiyo couldn't help but wonder just what fate now had in store for Hiyori.

As soon as she could, the girl teleported to Yato and demanded, as much as she could, that he go check on Hiyori. He agreed, though he admitted he was going no matter what, causing Chiyo to roll her eyes the slightest bit.

When Hiyori was released from the hospital, Chiyo made both Ami and Yama promise to keep an eye on her sister since she wouldn't be able to, though she didn't tell them the full reason, which was that she had paperwork to fill out, paperwork they couldn't know about. So, Chiyo spent the day away from her sister, simply teleporting home so she could fill out the paperwork she was given sooner.

As the frog-like Phantom jumped in front of Yato and Hiyori, the girl freaking out as it did, Yato yelled,

"Chiyo!" Instantly, Chiyo appeared in a flash of light.

"What is that thing?!" Hiyori yelled and before she could question her sister's sudden appearance, the Phantom's tongue shot out, forcing the three to jump around until Chiyo began to float in midair and held her arm out. As she moved her arm up and down, the Phantom followed, due to her telekinesis, and crashed into the ground. Hiyori, scared out of her mind, ran at the Phantom, yelling, "You want a piece of me?!"

"You idiot! Don't-" Yato yelled when the Phantom grabbed Hiyori's leg.

"Hiyori!" Chiyo cried as much as she could. Hiyori screamed for a moment before she came to her senses.

"Let go! JUNGLE SAVATE!" She yelled as she kicked the Phantom hard enough that it both let her go and went flying, leaving Yato in wide eyed disbelief while Chiyo's mouth opened in shock, even if her expression was still blank. "Oh, it worked! The great Tono has blessed me with a fraction of his power! Oh, I'll be your devoted follower forever, my lord!" Hiyori cried as the Phantom got back up. As the Phantom charged again, Yato ran forward, grabbed Hiyori and jumped with Chiyo right behind him. As they were in the air, Yato adjusted himself so he held Hiyori bridal style and Chiyo clapped her hands, causing the earth to rise up and hold the Phantom still as she and Yato landed on it to jump again. As they flew, Chiyo released the Phantom, knowing another god would get it.

"I think we finally lost it." Yato said as he peeked out from behind a vending machine where he, Hiyori and Chiyo were hiding.

"Naomi, what did you do back there?" Hiyori managed through her panting.

"I'll explain later, it's rather complicated." Chiyo answered. Accepting that answer, for now, Hiyori stood up and faced Yato.

"I'm glad I was able to track you down, Yato. I have a lot of questions to ask, you know, but you just suddenly ran off on me! No dodging my questions this time, I want some straight answers." Hiyori stated as Chiyo pushed herself up to join the two.

"Uh, sorry, but your soul, it slipped out." Yato answered.

"What?" Hiyori asked as she looked at her pink tail. "Huh?"

"If you want your body, it's back over there." Yato added as he pointed at the sleeping body that was hanging on a fence.

"How did you manage that, anyways?" Chiyo asked, referring to the body's position.

"I don't know! How's that possible?" Hiyori asked Yato, obviously mistaking the question for how her soul slipped out. Yato walked over and carefully laid Hiyori's body down. "What happened?! Does this mean that I'm dead?!" Hiyori cried as Chiyo knelt beside her body and laid her hand on it, checking for injuries as her hand glowed a soft green.

"That's not it exactly." Chiyo answered. "It's more like your body's taking a nap, so to speak." Hiyori suddenly glowed before her soul fell back into her body. Chiyo sighed as she shook her head while Milord popped his head out of Yato's tracksuit jacket.

"Look what you've done." Yato said to the cat. "I thought black cats were supposed to be unlucky."

"We'd better get both of them home." Chiyo said as she motioned to both the cat and the sleeping girl.

"You do realize your secret life's been blown now, right?" Yato asked as he gently picked Hiyori up, giving her a piggyback ride.

"Yes, but it's not a huge deal. It just means when I have duties as the Goddess of Eternity, my human life will be covered by Hiyori." Chiyo answered as the two began to walk. "I just hope she doesn't go insane first."

"Nah, she already knows I'm a god, I think we're okay." Yato smiled.

"You better hope so." Chiyo muttered.

After the two dropped Milord off, they began the trek back to Hiyori and Chiyo's house when Hiyori woke up and yelled,

"Hey, what're you doing?! Put me down, you creep!" Yato released the older Iki sister as she hit him.

"I'm not a creep, I'm a god! And so's your sister here, you know!" Yato cried.

"Yeah, about that, why do I have a-? Hey, it's gone!" Hiyori cried as she felt for her tail. "I swear I had a tail! Was it all a dream? That has to be it! What's going on with me? I don't understand any of this."

"It must be a result of the accident." Yato said as he put his hands in his pockets. "There's the Near Shore, where the living reside, and there's the Far Shore. Somehow or other, you've wound up in the divide between them."

"The Near Shore and the Far Shore?" Hiyori repeated, confused.

"Yeah…the Far Shore's like what you humans call the afterlife." Chiyo answered.

"Aren't you human, Naomi?" Hiyori asked.

"Actually, I'm half human and half god. I'm known as Chiyo, the Goddess of Eternity, or time is another way to say it I guess." Chiyo answered. "I'll explain more about myself later."

"Okay…but what do you mean, I'm in the divide between the Near Shore and the Far Shore?" Hiyori asked.

"See, you're still technically alive, but you're also a Phantom." Yato explained.

"What's a Phantom?" The half-Phantom asked.

"Basically, they're incarnations of emotional energy." Yato explained, "They possess people and cause a lot of trouble."

"So that giant frog earlier, that was one of these Phantoms?" Hiyori clarified.

"Yeah, that's right." Yato answered.

"Ahhh! You mean I'm like that thing?!" Hiyori yelled.

"Not exactly." Chiyo cut in and her sister's yelling ceased. "Actually, you're more…what is it I'm looking for, Yato?"

"On the fence, I think." Yato answered.

"And that means what?! All this is way over my head!" Hiyori cried.

"Well for one thing, you'll probably lose your body a lot." Yato pointed out.

"Okay, and how do I make that stop?" Hiyori asked after a pause to let the information sink in.

"Well, I'm not sure you can." Yato admitted. "This is just the way you are now."

"I've never heard of a case like this, sorry." Chiyo shrugged.

"Best accept it." Yato added.

"Accept it?! I can't live like this! It's not fair! Turn me back!" Hiyori cried as she ran up to Yato and grabbed his arms to shake him. "You keep saying you're a god, right?! So help me!"

"Alright, pay up." Yato stated as Chiyo sighed, knowing what was coming.

"Gods charge money now?!" Hiyori cried.

"Of course we do! Nobody's gonna grant a wish for nothing!" Yato said as he looked away before he held up his whole hand with a smirk. "This is the going rate for one wish."

"What?! 550,000-I can't afford that much!" Hiyori protested.

"Stupid mortal! I am a god, you know!" Yato said, "And what do you offer when you petition the gods? That's right! A 5 yen coin!"

"What? 5?! Uh, okay!" Hiyori agreed as she dug 5 yen out and gave it to Yato. Flipping the coin in the air, Yato said,

"You've made a wish and it's been heard loud and clear. Hiyori Iki, thus it is done, may our fates intertwine."

Later, Hiyori sat in Chiyo's room as the half-goddess locked the door.

"Are you going to explain yourself now?" Hiyori asked.

"Yes." Chiyo stated as she sat on her bed. "I was born from Izanagi along with Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. I came from Izanagi's mouth and I am the youngest. I was known as the Goddess of Eternity until something happened. I made a choice that the Heavens declared needed Divine Punishment. As such, they made me half-human and took my emotions away from me. Now, I am known as the overseer of the gods and keep track of everything that goes on in Takamagahara."

"That's it?" Hiyori asked as her sister fell silent.

"That's all you need to know for now. You shall learn more when it is time for you to know." Chiyo stated. Crossing her arms and pouting, Hiyori huffed,

"Fine!" Chiyo allowed the only smile she could do slip out when Hiyori asked another question. "Is there a way for your emotions to return?"

"Yeah…but I don't think you need to know what it is exactly yet." Chiyo stated.

"But Naomiiii!" Hiyori whined. Chiyo shook her head as she jokingly turned away and her sister reluctantly agreed. They spent the rest of the night talking and, for the first time, Chiyo actually felt close to her sister.

Just so you know, Chiyo is a made up goddess, her myth does not exist and is simply the product of my imagination. The other gods I reference until they show up I will make sure I reference properly. More involving Chiyo and her story will be explained in the chapters to come. I hope you enjoyed! Later!
