question! do our gifts have to be done, polished, perfect by the 20th? or just anytime within the gifting period?

Nope! It's just the start of gifting week since people are busy and it can take a while for them to get to a computer to post and share! Officially, it ends on the 28th just to so it can still be within the holiday season. Just let your receiver know so they're not wondering!

2017 Noragami Secret Santa is up and running!

Halloween may have just ended, but Christmas is soon and who doesn’t love the holidays and Noragami? Let’s have fun again and make happiness with one another and get gift giving again!

The application process for this year’s will be up this evening (PST) and if you have any questions, please contact through this blog only. It will be open from today, November 1st until November 10th.

Once the applications are in, they’ll be paired up accordingly and you’ll be messaged about who your receiver is. Once you get the name, you can begin messaging them, anonymously! This is a secret santa so stay secret!

Get to know them and have fun! While doing so, you make your gift. What sort of gift? It can be anything! Drawing, fic, song, video, etc.

Rules: • Keep it fun, no negativity towards one another over ships/hc’s/etc. • NSFW is allowed but only if your receiver is open to it. • Try not to make your gift last minute. We know it can be busy at the end of the year, but having someone receive a rushed gift isn’t fun at all, ya know? • The theme doesn’t have to be strictly Christmas, especially since not everyone celebrates it. So you can theme it around something else.

How will the gift exchanging happen?

You will gift your present yourself to your person. It can be either making a post and tagging them, submitting, some other creative way of doing it!

When is the gift exchanging? It’ll be on December 20th and end the 27th. So a whole week of gift giving and merry fun!

Be sure when you’re tagging it to tag it as #noragamisecretsanta2017

Fated-Noragami Fanfic

Sorry for the delay @virtual-profile! I am your Noragami Secret Santa. It’s been a long time since I wrote a fanfic so I hope you enjoy!

“Hiyori?” A voice called softly, almost uncertain

That smell.

“Hiyori!” The voice was full of urgency now.

“…?” The brown haired girl stood in front of the train station in her way to her university when it hit her. It was a smell–something so familiar it felt like home. It was her favorite smell. It was better than fresh baked cookies, and lovelier of a fragrance when sakura began to bloom.

Hiyori began to frantically move her head to search for where the scent was coming from. Her heart was screaming that she needed to find it. Hiyori heard a voice calling to her too. It was a melancholy voice full of hope. She didn’t even realize tears began to stroll down her cheeks.

Hiyori forgot something–that was what her mind was telling her. It was more than she forgot her umbrella at home or left a text book for her morning medical terminology course on her desk when she was rushing this morning. She forgot something so important but she could not even recall what it was.

How could she forget something that was so precious? What was so precious? Her mind began churning on a merry-go-round of emotions–sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, even hope. What was she hoping for?

“Yato…she can’t see us.” A boy’s voice dejectedly spoke; it was younger than the first voice.

“Yato, who is…?” The brown haired girl mumbled to herself. Suddenly, it all hit her at once.

Memories began to pool into her mind. Tutoring Yukine. Being with Daikou and Kofuku’s place eating dinner with her friends. Having picnics by the sakura tree with Bishoman, Kazuma, and the rest of the “Ha” clan. Those blue eyes that made her heart leap every time he glanced at her–Yato. The tears were coming faster now. “Yato!” She cried, Hiyori turned around and there he was with Yukine standing beside him. They were not there a moment before when she looked. It was like someone cleared the fog on a car windshield–the world was suddenly clear again for Hiyori.

Time had not passed for Yato and Yukine they looked exactly the same way they did on her high school graduation day months earlier. Yato was still wearing his track shit with his “fluffy fluff” scarf, as he called it, and Yukine was in a t-shirt pair of overalls that were too long so he had to roll up the fabric. Graduation–that was the last time she saw them. Yato stopped coming around, she stopped writing letters back to Yukine when she began her pre-med courses, and Hiyori’s spirit stopped spilling out of her body as the world of the near shore became fainter to see.

What happened?

Hiyori ran into both of their arms and sobbed like a child. She broke her promise to Yato that she would never forget him, again. How could she hurt him like this for a second time? Yukine and Yato pulled the girl close to them as the god and shinki began to cry along with her.

“Hiyori, I’m sorry.” Yato whispered in the brunette’s ear. “I wanted you to have a normal life, but I can’t. I can’t stay away from you. We need you, Hiyori.” His voice was breaking too as the god wept.

“You idiot! You don’t get to decide that!” Hiyori broke free of the embrace from the god and regalia. “Jungle Savate!” Hiyori yelled the famous wrestling phrase as she kicked Yato into the air.

“I felt someone was missing this whole time and it was both of you! You made me forget you and try to break our ties!” She was crying again but her face was red from anger as her fists clenched. “You’re my god of fortune, Yato! I want to be with your forever!” She yelled, her voice shaking with anger and betrayal. Hiyori was angry at Yato, but mainly herself. Why didn’t she stick annoyingly close to him when he tried to out space between them? Was it because of trying to help with the Iki hospital? Was is the stress of starting college? Why did she just not chase after him either? What happened to make her stay so far away?

It hit her, suddenly. More memories came into play and everything made sense.

The kiss.

___________

Yato was laying on the ground attempting to recover from Hiyori’s strong kick. Her words stung worse than the kick–hell it stung worse than being blighted.

Yukine stood by looking confused and terrified of being the next one to be kicked. Yato told him it was better for Hiyori to forget them and continue on with her life but he was lying. He was scared to have someone so precious taken away from him so he severed the ties himself before he would hurt her the same way he hurt Sakura. The former god of calamity’s heart clenched at the thought of his beloved regalia.

He killed her–that was his gravest sin. Yato feared Hiyori’s presence in the far shore would endanger her life and she would suffer the same fate as Sakura. True once before the god saved Hiyori from becoming a phantom but it was too close to becoming a tragedy for his comfort.

Hiyori had brought so much light into his world. She saved his life countless times, she gave him a shrine, she followed him far longer than any human before him, but most of all she believed in him. Hiyori had allowed him to become a God of fortune and save him from his personal hell of being a god of calamity who only murdered. She was more precious than anything to him so he had to let her go to save her after he realized what their relationship had turned into.

They had fallen in love–which would only end in tragedy.

“I want to stay with you forever!” Hiyori’s words replayed in his mind. Yato could not give her the forever she wanted. He could never truly marry her or give her children or a future. She would grow older and die one day and Yato would appear like a young adult forever. The only forever he could give her would be a world between death and life–a world where she would no longer be Hiyori. A world where she would be his shinki; a world where god’s greatest secret would surely be unveiled, and the past would only repeat itself.

One kiss changed everything in an instant for their relationship.

________________________

“Hiyoriiiiiii!” The god hollered loudly as he waved his arms frantically. Yukine was standing next to him holding a sign that read ‘CONGRATULATIONS HIYORI!’ With little crowns and puffballs drawn all over it.

Hiyori stood several feet away from them outside her school looking embarrassed. She smiled softly and ran over to their sides holding her diploma proudly. “Thank you!” She said while examining the sign.

“Kofuku wanted you to come over soon to have a big dinner to celebrate!” Yukine said excitedly. The blessed regalia looked down at his feet nervously. “Hiyori, I know you’ll be busy with college soon, but please will you continue to be my teacher?” Yukine stuttered as he spoke, his face becoming red.

Hiyori laughed and patted his head, “I’ll be your teacher as long as I have new things to teach you! Don’t worry you can count on me, Yukine.” Hiyori smiled softly at the regalia.

“I took off from my jobs today so we can celebrate, Hiyori! Now that you’re graduated we can get married now.” Yato beamed as he wrapped one arm around Hiyori’s shoulders. Hiyori’s face became red as he did this.

“I can’t marry someone who wears a tracksuit and wastes all his money!” Hiyori retorted while poking a finger into Yato’s chest. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of marrying Yato–she couldn’t help but think of Kofuku tying their plaques together to match them as soul mates. The brunette’s face grew red thinking about it. Yato still didn’t know, it was her secret for now to hold onto.

“He didn’t get any jobs today!” Yukine retorted glaring at his master.

“One day I’ll be richer than Ebisu and have the most followers of any other God and you’ll be wanting to marry me then! Yukine, I had loads of offers you were just asleep when I got them.” Yato yelled as he took his arm away from Hiyori and flashed her a cheesy grin with his tongue sticking out and his signature peace sign.

“You’re full of shit, Yato,” Yukine snapped as he hit him with the post board,” Hiyori you have a habit of being around useless men. We need to find you a good husband.” He motioned towards Yato as he spoke to Hiyori. Hiyori couldn’t help but laugh at Yukine’s remarks.

“Come to congratulate your father, Yaboku?” A familiar but unwanted voice abruptly called out. The trio stiffened and looked to find Fujisaki in front of them. Yato held his arm in front of Yukine and Hiyori with a serious look in his eyes. The happy mood quickly disappeared into unease.

“What do you want?” The god’s voice was threatening.

“His name is Yato now, too!” Hiyori exclaimed as she glared at Yato’s father.

“My, my, what a noisy crowd. Yaboku, we’ll be talking soon,” Fujisaki emphasized on the name. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed before pausing and looking towards Hiyori, smirking as he did.“ I heard someone is studying to become a Doctor. What a shame that your name is blackened now from that unfortunate accident,” He paused to watch Hiyori’s face lose color at the mention of the hospital while Yato’s face grew darker with anger, “I’ll be seeing you, Hiyori. Maybe we can go on another date sometime. I heard Capyland is great this time of year.” His grin got bigger as he spoke. He turned from the trio to leave them with the bitter feeling in the air.

“Don’t listen to him! He’s an ass, you’re going to be a great Doctor!” Yukine exclaimed to Hiyori. The brunette smiled softly at her friend.

“I’ll never listen to a word he says. I won’t let him scare me away from my dreams or let him hurt Yato.” Hiyori declared. He grinned at her two companions. Yato smiled at Hiyori. She had always been so head strong and positive. She never let any challenge stop her from achieving her goals and she never gave up on any task. Her determination gave him strength. “Let’s go to Kofuku’s,” Hiyori grabbed both of the boys’ hands causing them both to blush.

________

“Hiyorin!” The pink haired goddess of poverty bellowed. Kofuku stood in the doorway of her home and waved to Hiyori, beckoning for her to come inside. Once Hiyori got close enough Kofuku latched herself onto the brunette. “Congratulations Hiyorin! Daikou and I are so proud of you!” He squealed as she led Hiyori inside with Yato and Yukine following behind her. Inside the home Hiyori was greeted by the explosion of confetti on her.

“Congratulations!” A chorus of voices cheered. Bishamon, Kazuma, Mayu, and Daikou all stood around the table full of food greeting Hiyori with gleeful faces.

“Thank you so much.” Hiyori beamed. It wasn’t long before everyone began drinking (except Hiyori and Yukine) and enjoying food. Bishamon and Yato were bickering over who the winner would be of yet another ping pong match. Yukine and Kazuma were discussing more training for new techniques for the new blessed vessel to learn.

“Hiyorin is growing up so fast! Soon she’ll be whisked away from us by some strange man.” Kofuku whined before taking another swing of her beer.

“A strange man you paired her with! Don’t think I forgot about that. I’m going to find Hiyori a new man that will make her parents proud.” Yato argued pointing at Kofuku with his beer can.

Kofuku giggled to herself. “Hiyori likes my pairing, she had no objections, right Hiyorin?” The goddess elbowed Hiyori and kept giggling. Hiyori’s face grew red.

“I’ll be right back.” Hiyori stood up and went outside. She didn’t want Kofuku to admit to Yato about the pairing and didn’t want to be there to see his reaction if she did. It made her heart ache to think about and she didn’t know why. Why did she stop Yato from serving the match? Hiyori sat down and hugged her knees to herself. She rested her chin on her knees and gazed up at the moon. She sighed softly to herself, “Yato.” She mumbled to herself.

“Yeah?” Yato’s voice startled Hiyori as he sat down next to her. He leaned back on one hand, a beer in the other hand. “You’ve been quiet today. Was it earlier?” He asked. Yato leaned over closer to Hiyori his face inches from Hiyori’s, looking right into her eyes. Hiyori looked right into his captivating azure eyes before quickly looking away, her cheeks flushing slightly. “Hiyori, are you sick?” His voice was full of concern now. Yato placed down his beer and placed his hand on her forehead.

“No, I’m sorry. I’m just thinking about a lot of things.” Hiyori moved away from his touch. Her heart was beating louder now.

Yato moved back to sitting right next to Hiyori. “I’ll listen to your concerns for five yen. I am your God of Fortune you know.” Hiyori moved to grab a coin from her pocket before placing it into Yato’s hands. She clapped her hands together and held them together like she was praying.

“I feel nervous about my future. I want to be a great doctor and help the Iki name be restored to its former glory.” Hiyori spoke slowly keeping her eyes closed the whole time as she did.

 “You don’t have to be nervous. Your wish has been heard loud and clear, Hiyori Iki. Your wish will come true. You just work hard and keep following the path you know is right. You always make the right decisions.” Yato smiled at Hiyori as he spoke. He put an arm around her to bring her closer to him to comfort her. Hiyori’s eyes snapped open, her face growing red again. Her heart began to pound again. “You always can come to me about anything. Recommend your friends to me too for advice.” Yato grinned sheepishly at Hiyori.

“Yato,” Hiyori said softly

“Hmm?”

“About Kofuku picking my soul mate…” Hiyori trailed off. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears. What was she doing? She couldn’t stop herself anymore she needed to tell him and understand her own feelings about Yato.

“Don’t worry I’ll server that tie! Any pairing she makes will be a disaster. I’ll find you someone who isn’t a scumbag. Don’t forget my marriage offer though once I’m the most famous God in Japan I’ll make you the happiest wife and put Yukin through college!” Yato cheered as he punched a fist into the air. He was off in his world of fantasies again.

“Yato,” She was almost whispering now. “It was you.” She looked up now at Yato, her eyes glazed from the tears that began to well in her eyes. Yato dropped his arms to his sides and looked at Hiyori dumbfounded.

“Kofuku tied us together?” Yato asked breathlessly. He looked stunned. Yato gazed to the moon as if the answers to all his questions where hidden in its carters.

“You can sever it if you want,” Hiyori bit her bottom lip before continuing, “please don’t, though.” She said gently. Her chest ached as she spoke as she began to finally understand her feelings. That was her confession, her plea not to separate them, she loved Yato. She had loved him since she locked eyes with him on the street before leaping out to save him from a bus that wouldn’t even hurt him. Hiyori never understood her strong pull to Yato until now—it was fate.

“Hiyori?” Yato looked at her now with widened eyes. The god didn’t know how to respond. He closed the distance between them, Hiyori moving closer to meet him. Their lips lightly brushed against each other. This kiss was different from Fujisaki. Firstly it was wanted, but mostly is was full of a tenderness Hiyori had never experienced before. It was kind, warm, and full of a yearning for each other. Yato broke free from the kiss before it got deeper and pulled Hiyori into his arms. “I won’t ever sever it.” He whispered into her hair. Hiyori wrapped her arms around Yato’s waist and buried her face into his chest—engulfing herself in the scent and man she loved. They stayed like that for a while just enjoying their presences with each other before returning to the party.

After that night Yato had begun to see Hiyori less and less, calls and texts became fewer and fewer. He pushed her away without a single explanation. Hiyori threw herself into her studies to forget the clear rejection to her vowing to return back to Yato and Yukine’s sides when she felt less awkward. She wrote notes and looked at pictures every day to help herself remember them—but somewhere along the lines her memories vanished. Life became that of a normal eighteen year old girls, though, she felt she was forgetting something every day but was never able to figure out what it was.

___________

“Hiyori, forgive me. “ Yato stood up now and came closer to Hiyori. “After that night my father met me and kept mentioning you. I had to stay away to keep you safe.” He was pleading with her now. Hiyori just looked down at the ground as he spoke, tears falling down her ivory cheeks as she shook her head at him.

“You can’t make these decisions alone, Yato!” Hiyori yelled. She looked at the god straight in the eye. “Your decisions affect other people—like Yukine and me.” Hiyori motioned to the regalia who was awkwardly standing away from them.

“I’m still learning. I don’t know what to do.” Yato said softly.

“Then you ask for help! You’re not alone anymore, Yato. Let us carry some burdens too,” Hiyori grabbed the God’s hands. “We’ll figure out your father together.” She motioned with her head for Yukine to join them. He teen walked over to them and placed his hands on top of Hiyori’s.

“We’re like a family. We stick together.” Yukine affirmed with a sheepish smile.

“You’ve made me miss my train now so might as well go get something to eat. We have a lot to talk about. I’m still mad at you too, Yato.” Hiyori sighed and rubbed the back of her head and motioned for the two to follow her to a café.  Hiyori was mad at Yato still, but her heart would soon forgive him, he was her soul mate after all.
