[ Tossing Yato his tantou was a good decision. Were he not fueled by fear, then a wave of relief, he's glad that Yato listened. It means a lot, okay! But also yes, it proves to be an illusion of the fog than either Anya or Aki... Geez, whatever this is aimed low, doesn't it? But Yato bought it, Yanagi did a bit too. A risk saved them both from a crazy lady

Yanagi gets up partway, watching the kimono and hair dissolve under him and Yato. ]

I'm alright.

[ At his feet now, he goes over to grab Yato's sword from the ground and then his sheath. He scans around for any trace of the crazy imposter apparition lady, like there might be anything left. Or really anything in the fog. They'd both be armed, but a full-sized katana is a bit much for a kid. ]

Who's Anya?

[ A different topic from the fog stuff? He figures that might go better. ]

[ Yato stands slowly and offers Yanagi his dagger back in exchange for the katana. He would ask why a kid as young as Yanagi has a dagger like that on his hands, but 1) this is Recolle and 2) this is Aki's brother.

This would normally be Yato's chance to gush about Anya for 2000 words, but he's tired and this isn't really the time for a rant, so how to put this succinctly? ]

She's my friend. An important one...

[ "Friend" sounds like too mild a word for their relationship, but there you go. ]

Maybe we both saw the people important to us.

[ Yanagi takes back his knife, swapping out the yato-katana for it. Since it's a regain, he's oddly... content to have it back. Not that he minds at all lending it to someone in need. ]

Okay, I figured. You wouldn't let me hurt her at first, after all.

[ One day, whem Yato is less tired he can go on and on about precious friendships. Thank you dear friend in arms for it all thout. He's glad to have it when things get messy like this after all, even if getting a dagger is indeed odd for a kid. It's like, fancy-ish too. ]

I bet we did, and that's how she snares her victims... I mean, Aki-nee would never wear a kimono like that. Too girly, and too revealing, right? So... maybe that was a demon or something.

[ How were Anya's idol legs? Yanagi can only laugh at how skinny his sis was. ]

[ Anya's idol legs are probably deceptively strong with all that dancing she has to do...

A memory comes on suddenly, the way memories like to do. This time he's somewhere dark -- a cave? -- and the hair is digging into him again. A skeletal face, a ruined kimono. And then a mighty cord rips through the cave, writhing and destructive, and a familiar voice bellows as its owner makes her entrance in radiant armor.

"I am one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, Bishamonten! I will be taking Yatogami back with me, if you please!"

In the present, Yato blinks and shakes his head, surprised. Wasn't Bishamon supposed to hate his guts? ]

... I remember now. That was Izanami, a god of the underworld.

[ Yanagi sheathes his sword, playing with the ribbon tied to the sheath. ]

Really?

[ He doesn't sound all that much in disbelief, that's the best part of being young and generally accepting of... well. This stuff. Otherwise he'd go nuts. She didn't look the part, but the myth does mention the "illusion" she had before Izanagi got a good look at her, trying to drag her out of Yomi ]

What are you... were you, a god? I think only they'd recognize Izanami if they saw her.

[ Yato straightens and plants his hands on his hips defiantly, ready for rejection toward what he's about to say. It's an unconscious thing by now. ]

I do happen to be one both now and then, thanks. I'm a god of war. And I'm pretty sure Izanami looks like whoever you wanna be with most.

[ It was that Hiyori girl in his memories. It seems like she really was that important to him... Anyway. Yato points at the short sword in Yanagi's hand. ]

That from Restrospec? You know your sister got a sword in the mail too?
