Author's Note:

So I just recently finished the anime version of Noragami and got hooked. I read the manga up to the latest one and can't wait for an update!
Also, Bishamon x Yato has more chemistry. Hahahah. I just love their banter.
Here's my first story for Noragami. Hope it's okay.

Note: Chijo = Crazy Chick/Pervy Chick

Reluctantly, Yato made Bishamonten's lead shinki as his own, named him Kazune, although he still insists on calling the latter Kazuma. Kazuma in turn, drowned himself in alcohol, because for him, this was the ultimate betrayal, and he's pretty sure Veena won't forgive him.

No matter. It had to be done.

With Yukine now in the hands of Yato's father, there's no time to waste. Kazuma assured the god of calamity that Veena will make it so Yato made up his mind. Even if he disappears, as long as Hiyori or anyone — human or God realm — would remember, then that would be enough.

Kazuma is also set on completing the mission, somewhat bent on the notion that this would redeem all his sins and as a last-ditch effort to beg for forgiveness. They were ready to go.

Before that though, Yato asked for Bishamon's location and Kazuma, despite his earlier reservations, gave it to his new master.

Bishamon lay there unconscious but visibly healed thanks to her lead shinki's actions.

"Oi, chijo," He started as he sat on her bedside "How long are you gonna stay in dreamland? Everyone's worried about you."

Of course, she doesn't respond so he continued "I know you can hear me. I'll apologize to you now because I may not be able to in the coming days. I'm sorry about Yukine. He wasn't supposed to strike you but he did out of concern for me. He's with the same ailment as that of Tsuguha and..." Yato sighed, "He's a nora now, just like your Hafuri, Kazuma. I didn't want to — and I told him you'd probably murder me senseless — but I'm just out of options and he insisted rather forcefully. This I swear to you: I'll release your lead shinki at the last minute so if you're so inclined, please take him back, and take Yukine as well. I know I've already asked for two people, but if you can watch over Hiyori, too."

Yato reached for Bishamon's hand and gave it a firm squeeze, "I wish we could have had one more drink, you know. You're the best drinking buddy I've ever had."

Yato couldn't believe he'd have to face Yukine this way. He was his son by all accounts. But, he'd seen the bigger picture and he'll do whatever's necessary to make it right. So he calls forth his new shinki, Kazune, and fought with all their might.

Yato had his father trapped in an embrace and was ready to give the final blow when someone interrupted. Blonde hair, violet eyes, revealing clothes, of course, it had to be Bishamon.

"Chijo? What are you doing here?"

"There has to be a better way. We can trap him forever."

"No. That won't do. His connections are vast and someday he'll get out and exact revenge. I don't want that. I want it to be over."

"Wait a minute, you idiot! There are people waiting for you." Vaisravana pleads. She doesn't understand why she's begging. If anything, this would have solved the matter of Ebisu's wrongful death.

"Oi, oi. Listen to the lady will ya? I promise I'll behave, Yaboku, my son."

"It's alright, Bishamon," And he trusts his sword right into his father's heart as he uttered the divination prayer to allow for the latter's soul a new slate.

Yato felt his essence vanishing but as promised, he released the now unconscious Kazuma as well as Yukine. Whatever hold 'Fujisaki' had on the young Hafuri vanished as soon as he got reincarnated.

"What have you done?!" Bishamon yells her head off, furious at the actions of the stray god as she breaks his fall.

The Goddess of War settles Yato on her lap, watching as the light in his eyes slowly fade away.

"You're so stupid. Do you think Yukine would like this, huh?" She's not angry anymore if her tone were any indication. She thought she would have enough time to make up for all those years that she hunted him down like a criminal, when all the stray god ever did was save her life. And now he has saved everyone at his own expense.

"It's okay, Bishamon. This is how it's supposed to end. But, why the hell are you shedding tears for me?"

Why indeed? She asks herself.

"As you said, we're drinking buddies,"

"Well, that doesn't explain anythi—" His voice was cut-off when the blonde covered his mouth with her hand and touched her lips on the surface like he did that day.

"Shut up." The Goddess of war says tearfully as she gently removed her hand "You talk too much."

Yato gave her a genuine laugh this time, understanding the debt (that indirect kiss) has been repaid in kind. Although it's not something that he expected.

"Your request has been heard loud and clear, Yato-gami."

"Good. Thank you."

Yaboku vanished from her arms as she wept out of sheer frustration, knowing that there was nothing else she could have done.

Yukine and Kazuma were placed in a recovery room in the mansion, and now Veena is dreading the next hours on how she's going to break the news to his friends. Especially to Yukine who's now free of the curse.

Bishamon gathered the gods in the meeting room to tell them what had occurred, and what Yato had done to resolve that matter at hand.

"Thank you all for coming today. I regret to inform you all, that Yato-gami passed on after killing the sorcerer who was also his father."

No one made any comment because they knew it would come to this sooner or later. It wasn't a secret that the perpetrator had been Fujisaki nor the fact that Yato would meet the same fate should the perpetrator die.

Still, Lady Kofuku could not withhold her tears.
