Yato: neh!! Yomi!! Look what I've bought!!

Yomi sweatdrop" what rubbish did you buy again?"

Yato: I bought a mirror!! The lady says it will bring us a lot of money!!

Yomi: and how much money did you spend?

Yato: well...

Yukine: daijobu. Hiyori!!

Hiyori takes the mirror and throws it into the air.

" Don't!!!" Yomi jumps into the air and catches the mirror " safe!!!" 

"jungle savate!!" hiyori kicks yomi and yomi flies hitting against the wall.

Miyuki: Master!!!

Hiyori: gomenasai!!!

Yomi: don't spoil it.

Yukine sweatdrop" you erm... believe this?"

Yomi: of course not. But... *devil eyes* humans will. We'll earn back our loss.

Hiyori: it's real.

Yukine: scummiest of scum.

" Oh!! Good idea!! Yomi!!" Yato hi fives with her.

"Anyone in?"

Hiyori: this voice...

A woman walks in " yomi. What did you want? After disappearing for so long. Daijobu?.... hiyori?"

Hiyori: mama...

Yomi: seat seat yurashi.

Hiyori: you both know each other?

Yomi: don't you ever wonder how come you can get out of your body so easily?

Yato: it's not because she met me?

Yomi: well... that's a reason. But that was just a trigger. Even if you sever your ties with her, her soul will still detach when she meets a god.

Yukine: then why...?

Yomi: yurashi.

Yurashi: do I have to?

Yomi: hai.

Yurashi: I'm a shinki.

Hiyori: what?!!

Yomi: with that... I can ask one question.

Yurashi: you can't drag her into this!!

Yato: yomi!! What are you planning?

Yomi: can you...

The tension becomes high...

"what is it that's so serious?" Yukine thinks .

Yomi: buy this mirror!! It can bring you lots of fortune you know!!

" What the hell..." hiyori, yukine and miyuki sweatdrop.

Yato: exactly!! Buy it!!! It's really rare!!

Yurashi: really?!!

" Don't get cheated!!!" Hiyori runs and does a flying kick. Yomi raises the mirror and Hiyori misses.

Yomi: safe!!! Let me make her into a shinki.

The whole aura changes and becomes cold.

Yurashi: no!!! She shouldn't be involved!!! Let me be it!! I'll come back!!

Yomi: I let you go!! You have a family now. You won't be able to let go whatever you have now. You're not that kind of person. Just like your daughter.

Yurashi: why now?!!!

Yomi: war is coming. She's important.

Hiyori: sumimasen... but... how am I important?

Yurashi: my ability as a shinki... is that I have healing abilities.

Hiyori's eyes widens " healing..."

Yomi: this is not your decision to make yurashi. Hiyori. Do you want to help?

Yurashi: don't say yes!!

Yomi: I can promise you. Only when you die. I'll ask you again. It's your decision.

Hiyori clenches her skirt " I..."

Yurashi: don't...

Yomi: well... think about it. I'm going to shower.

Yomi leaves... she stops at the door " think really carefully. Shinki... are invisible to humans. That's the price of re-living. " She continues on her way.

Hiyori: shinki... is it that difficult to be? Yukine.

Yukine: hiyori...

Yato: why did you make that request to hiyori?

Yomi: she's needed.

Yato: if she says no. You'll let her go right?

Yomi:..... hai.

Yato: you hesitated. Promise me!!!!

Yomi: you like her don't you?

Yato: what are you talking about?!!

Yomi: I saw everything in her. I know what she feels... I never looked into you... I'm scared to find the truth...

Yato: this and that are two different things!! PROMISE ME!!!

" I... promise..." tears flowed down her eyes.

The door slides open and he walks out when he sees yukine and Hiyori standing outside in the backyard overhearing by accident.
