Chapter Text
- 4/10
Being in a human form was everything but easy. Humans get tired very easily or angered something she despised after all being angry made her irrational, something she hasn’t been for some time now. Granting humanity’s wish was becoming a real trial of her patience… humans never agreed on one sole thing their greed was nearly infinite
…. Iznami thought as she poured hot water for a good morning coffee…although she had learned to be careful as any spill from that boiling water could tear her flesh…very surprising or human flesh was that weak. A pretty unpleasant feeling regardless. Nami shivered for some reason, maybe a deja Vu? …
“I see…it’s time for my shift” Izanami Barely sipped anything from her cup, she checked the time it was already past five in the morning… she needed to be at her shift fifteen minutes before six.. Pretty exigent for such a low wage job. thinking was her favorite hobby but… humans asked for ‘money’ to live so working was necessary regardless of all of her complaints, they were classified as childish.
“So much for a goddess huh?” Izanami muttered to herself, was she really about to go and help people get their fuel?The answer was a simple ‘yes’...it just needed time to see everything start unfolding though she started feeling irritated, she had awakened two humans, gave them two of her aspects yet nothing had happened so far… she was unsure on how to feel about it… maybe disappointed?
“I just need to be patient…” The silver haired girl started changing into her work uniform… “something will happen i’m sure of it” Two awakened people, She even personally spreaded rumors of the midnight channel and nothing… Maybe humanity didn’t need any wish? The rumors thing was pretty embarrassing, she just needed to wait to see her efforts come to fruition! Nami thought of herself proudly as if starting silly rumors was actually helpful
“Ridicuolus” Nami shook her head besides her diligence it seemed people just thought of it like a joke, they did even try it once!?... probably no.
Izanami—or rather ‘Kamiya Nami’ such a nice name could only come from a goddess, Anyway she was a little late to her job maybe ‘manager-san’ would cut her some slack today
No the manager didn’t. The first thing she heard wasn’t a ‘welcome’ or ‘how are you’ it was a harsh scolding “I told you to be on time, Kamiya!” the manager kindly spoke
“Sorry ma’am! I have no excuse!” i’m not about to tell this infuriating woman why i was late…my coffee. Nami gritted her teeth as she kept the happy all jolly act
“Hmph, don’t think this will go unnoticed, this is your second strike of the month Kamiya…” The gas station manager said with a clear tone of threatening “I’ll take this from your paycheck as a result I'll take then thousand yen.” the arrogant woman left victoriously….
Nami clenched her fist in frustration ,she was getting sick of humanity’s greed. Always this always that…, they truly only know how to take. This was truly outrageous, almost ten hours of her salary were taken just because a stupid mistake!
The rest day went on the same as ever, except for some upset customers “Hey i told you to pump in exactly three thousand! You got it for over one yen…”
Is it really that much? You can’t even buy anything with one yen. Nami deadpanned, was the man before her actually serious? “Excuse me?”
“Did I stutter? No get me a refund or…no actually get your supervisor here” the man in the white Sedan, shook his head as if Nami asked a stupid question
You’ve got enough to buy a foreign car but not for fuel? “Sorry sir! I’ll cover the extra yen for you!” This was beyond greed, Maybe the man really needed that yen, Nami thought sarcastically
“Tsk damm brat, learn how to take a hint” The customer spat before leaving. Very disrespectful on his side…
“Have a nice day!” Nami replied to the man’s rude comment
“....” Nami took a long breath… yes this was definitely her last shift in this forsaken store, she had other ways to get income… people still gave her offerings, yes? She hoped that was the case
“W-what do you mean you’re quitting?! We have no staff besides you!” the Gas station manager looked at her terrified, not only was she losing a great employee but in fact their only one! Oh i’ve messed up nonono!
“You heard me…” Nami didn’t need to be cordial anymore, she would leave this forsaken job at once! “You see, I grew tired of dealing with so many people…” Nami gave the manager a glare, she did try to be respectful…but it seemed they had only taken advantage of her in return
“I-i can give you a raise! Just stay please we really need the help” Nami shook her head in denial “H-heck i’ll even pardon your strikes and give you back your ten thousand!”
“Unfortunately that won’t do, I have much important business to take care off” Nami brought her hand towards the manager’s head
“W-what are you-” the manager trailed off as Izanami’s hand reached her head, clouding her mind, the manager showed no sign of resistance or any feeling it was like a literal puppet
“No one named Kamiya Nami ever worked here. You nor anyone who witnessed me here will remember me” The arrogant woman simply nodded, Nami didn’t feel bad for brainwashing if it involved her grand plan, and getting her out of the annoying job of course…
What she didn’t knew was that with this action her fate was changed whether she would find it good or bad was up to her future self. It was an action that would change her principles forever…
“What a day…” Izanami took off the uniform and prepared for bed, once she removed her chest binders Izanami looked at herself in a mirror… she didn’t felt comfortable with what she saw, to be honest she didn’t like to see herself showing too much skin…fearing it would look rotten. Never again…those days are over. Or she was simply shy…impossible. Hmm, my skin is really soft on-.
Ignoring her thoughts about chest and skin and whatnot she decided it was time to sleep. Throwing herself into her mattress felt relaxing despite her…earlier annoyance over tiredness… hmm at least i will be able to enjoy my coffee tomorrow…wonderful
Izanami closed her eyes and expected the same void of black she’s used to see, but instead got something she didn’t expected at all
....
“See that over there, it’s a peachtree” A voice said, Izanami did not understand what was going on or why that voice sounded familiar. No I cannot? Why did you summon me here, who are you? Izanami tried to voice her opinion but found herself unable to do so
“Yes…of course you don’t have to tell me twice” Izanami’s voice answered with a soft and almost comforting tone. Huh? Why do you sound and look like me? Her dream Self? turned herself to give all of her attention to the man speaking
“You see I've discovered that these peaches can grant people’s life back” the voice was familiar, one she knew too well…but that was. I feel sick.
“Bring back from Yomi? I see that very unlikely, husband” Izanami, now understood …this was most likely a memory, something she had thought gotten rid of, along with her useless other self… I don't understand? Why would I keep this specific memory? Husband? The real Izanami felt sick thinking about it…
“Haha…of course not, but i still consider it a great fruit” the voice’s figure was finally revealed to Izanami, it was someone with silver hair like her own, his eyes were gray different from hers…
“Hmm… i could see you getting fascinated over this” her dream self chuckled amused by her husband’s antics. Whywhywhy! I don’t want to see this, stop!
“Nothing too special compared with you” The male voice praised her with such sincerity it was actually starting to hurt, her head hurt, her heart hurt—
The memory stopped there thus ending her dream… but one thing was certain…she hated seeing this, she hated her husband for being a hypocrite… `

“Izanagi!” Nami jolted awake, her hands were gripping her blankets as if it was her lifeline
“...what a stupid dream…that’s not how things happened” her face had some dried tears and she felt ashamed for it… feeling, was stupid and there was no reason for it
Seeing the time Izanami felt even more ashamed….maybe visiting the shrine wouldn’t be bad to distract herself from that nightmare she just had
Taking a stroll in your ordinary everyday town could never be that good…except it was at least for Nami, she was starting to feel less of that uncomfortable feeling she felt before
“Nobody takes care of this place anymore…” Nami muttered with a certain hint of sadness in her tone. And well since she didn’t have anything else to do, why not dust it a bit off?
The task was relatively hard… sorry shrine but it seems it would not get cleaned again…
“Yipyip” A fox jumped off the shrine’s roof and gave her a leaf as a sign of respect?
“Thank you little one?” The fox nodded and continued it’s way leaving Nami slightly shocked
“What a strange creature….” She shook her head and started making her way out, maybe she would get some ingredients from that ‘Junes’ place—
What she saw just outside the shrine left her speechless for a moment, it was a boy of silver hair like her own and his eyes were gray unlike her own…, her heart was racing so too was her anger growing… before all logical thoughts “Izanagi…?”
Nami saw it, the boy was very flustered by her appearance but seemed hesitant? Have you come to apologize? She kept her facade perfectly intact
"o-oh uhm sorry i-i was just muttering some nonsense" i didn’t even heard what you were muttering
"hmm...no, it's okay i myself might have mistaken you for someone else" Izanami shook her head, there was simply no way that could be true… surely he looked exactly like him… but was it just that or did it extend to his personality as well? She was lost in thought
ahem...anyway i'm new here..and i would like to know your name yes?" it hurts…she thought of course it wouldn’t be him, but it hurt to see his face and voice not even acknowledge her. Deep down she knew that was for the best, for her role then why…
"h-hey isn't this a nice shrine-" Did he notice?! Bastard so it’s really you trying to act dumb, do you thinkyoucanjusthaveastartover—
"Yes, but that's not what you asked" Izamani said harsher than her facade should allow… she just didn’t want to have him around… it was starting to get sickening, then why…
"ahem, pardon me..., Welcome to inaba although i'm quite new myself" Calming down was the best decision… "And my name is...Nami"
"a-Nice to meet you Nami! I am Narukami Yu" Nami hated that her face smiled involuntary…why was that?...even her didn’t know everything, and what was with that name,It was way too literal for her liking
"W-well not that i want to sound rude but i..gotta go BYE!" Yu abruptly ran off leaving Nami to her thoughts but that was what actually snapped her patience
“Damn you, always running away" Nami grinded her teeth with boiling anger why? It reminded her of that memory she did not desired for… ihateyouwithallmyself! Despite her thoughts that was not true, she felt confused, angered, saddened even
Good thing I left my previous job…that uniform was from Yasagami right? …I will leave the meaningless tasks to Ameno and Kunino. I myself will deal with this threat. Sure the sudden the decision was rash but since a long time Nami felt intrigued
Nami thought while following the path Yu had run off to, she would find a way to be closer to him…
As soon as Nami walked into the south side of the district Nami felt something off…and it bothered her, it was a brat with black hair. For some reason she couldn’t stand her at all…
“Hey, you what’s your problem” it seemed the sentiment was mutual as the black haired brat, rudely questioned her, she was simply staring
“Oh, my apologies I… got distracted” the black haired brat shook her head, it seemed she was even scowling “Is something wrong? If you need anything you can tell me…” Nami did not liked this brat, but she wasn’t as rude as the black haired brat to scowl… or openly show disgust
“Don’t need anything from you” The punk looking girl curtly said “you’re a weirdo… you shouldn’t meddle in stuff that doesn’t concern you” for some reason the brat’s words were more irritating than usual…
“Excuse me?” Nami stepped closer to the scowling girl, but she was not faced at all the black haired girl even took a step upfront
“Just like I said, don’t meddle into people’s business” Nami tried with all herself to stay calm and composed. “not everyone needs constant help, that’s stupid, people can think for themselves you know?” Why were the brat’s words feeling like personal attacks?
“That’s… an interesting way to see things” Nami chuckled to herself, why was she getting mad at his naive girl? “However I do think that humanity itself would be much better with some help of sorts, to fulfill their most cherished wish.” Nami stated more to herself than the brat, after all she would not understand her burden
“Nah uh, that still sounds pretty stupid” the brat did not elaborate and simply rejected her view of things it was obvious the girl was a—
“Of course, I did not expect you to understand…” Nami hated this child, not only because of her nonsense…. There was something inexplicable, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly why
“Don’t try to act all so smart now… you’re just weird” the brat huffed much to Nami’s annoyance “big words don’t make you smarter you know?” the girl pointed her finger towards her very boldly “And your dress is pretty…ugly” ….an awkward silence appeared out of nowhere
“WHY you little” Nami snapped and closed the gap between them. How dare she speak of my Yukata?! Nami fumed after all she dressed nicely and most importantly properly “what did you say…please repeat it.” It wasn't a question, it was a threat!
“I said it’s ugly… white looks so bad on you” that was it this excuse of a woman was going to get put in her place!
“I’m gonna teach you a thing or two about respect!” Even herself was surprised at how things quickly escalated!
“Oh really! Come on then” the black haired brat didn’t back at all “all i did was voice my opinion and this is how you get? You childish excuse of wo—” A nervous detective ran up to the two
“Hey break it up you two!” the man in question was barely noticed until he was in between them “O-or i’m taking both of you to the station-”
“Do not touch me imbecile!” Nami slapped the heck out of the detective… she felt disgusted by the man…
“Oww…this is…” the detective groaned in annoyance. It was obvious he did not wanted to be there. Come on, all i did was try to help damm it!. The man cursed internally
“Hmph i’m leaving…” both women looked at the detective with mild and extreme disgust… what the fuck. The man may have broken the cat fight but his self esteem was crushed to nothingness. Damn this town…
“...” Nami simply continued her way, after all arguing with a child was a waste of her time… speaking of which, where was Yasogami located? She decided to forget about the incident for now…that brat was a foe now.
Nami made her way to school and simply said she was a transfer student…not that she brainwashed anyone to get accepted on the spot, she was simply that great…, really all she had to do was to say ‘she had forgotten to finish her enrollment’. She enrolled herself as Kamiya Nami…
“Ahh… this complicates things” Nami did not only sensed potential within ‘Narukami Yu’ but actual raw power and it was dangerous… Neither Kunino or Ameno would stand a chance… and that was a real problem… she would have to personally confront him… she did not like what that meant
“Maybe…i could talk to him…” usually people would need a ‘TV’ to enter her own realm she of course only needed to think it, Yomotsu Hirasaka. I need to summon him….let’s see. It was easy to find him due to his potential and power… I hope you do not disappoint.
He seems quite familiar… Does it give him Deja vu as they say? Izanami oversees how easily Yu found her exact location
"i see, so you're the one who pursues me… even through all of this fog. you should turn back" Izanami did not want that but being too direct could cause her some trouble…
Izanami saw as a card floated down to Yu and…he seemed pretty confident. "Yes that's me....and you will reveal yourself to me!!" the young man had turned the conversation violent
It hurt?! She knew he was strong but that lightning struck her harder than she would’ve liked
"oh...so it did carry over" Yu muttered but Izanami heard it clearly, giving her more and more questions and she hated it. Carry over? How are you so powerful? Theories flooded her mind yet she concluded at nothing feeling actually confused…why are you interfering?
"I-i S-see indeed very interesting information" she did not like stuttering but it had hurt badly…
"oh?i didn’t expect you to be this weak" Yu mocked her… she had to do som-”Cross slash!” the multiple slashes caught her off guard, she quickly raised the fog to a higher
"E-enough with y-your disrespect" Izanami had enough, not was only him insulting her but being really violent when all she wanted was to talk
“Did i pissed you off? don’t bother answering i already know…you are the Mastermind behind everything not Ameno or kunino” this was an actual problem now, he knew about her aspects…there was no use in hiding it anymore then
“I see, so you know about them” Izanami calmed herself, despite Yu’s vast knowledge he still did not seem to recognize her or her relations to the Sagiris…Foolish man “and yes i am the one behind everything…we shall meet at another time Narukami Yu” before it could escalate any further she sealed off Yomotsu hirasaka.
Izanami woke up on her bed with a cut on her arm even though she had not taken this much damage before. Her arm had a nasty bruise “...i need to be extremely cautious around Narukami…” she muttered as she looked at the bruise, but that wasn’t the most concerning of things, he knew about the Sagiri… he probably knew they we’re into Adachi and that Namatame guy as well, Nami theorized …. But one question remained.. How did he know?
…..
- 4/12
The goddess in disguise woke up to a relaxing sound… almost soothing, water drops against the ceiling of her home. It was raining “hmm… i’d rather stay home but…” she might not work anymore but had school… she should get ready
Her uniform …was tight and very uncomfortable, worst of all was the skirt. Are women really this bold now? How disrespectful. She hated the school attire. In her opinion it was something shameful, even lewd…
Regardless, she had committed to attend Yasogami, an interesting name she might add. Once she was ready she realized a little detail… she had no umbrella to cover from the rain, will she not go? No. not like anything would happen due to some water, Nami stepped out of her home with high confidence
Said confidence started to waver once she felt the full extent of the rain, her hair was getting awful much to her dislike, a little child passed by her… she sighed even kids had umbrellas…she would get one.
The little girl waved back at someone, said someone was- “Going to school, Nami?” why’s he looking at- Nami immediately hided her bruise either from shame or being cautious
“O-oh good morning Yu” gah… i used his first name! Nami internally flustered, how shameless of her! It was done then, first name basis… she managed to recover herself
"yikes? Did something happen? Perhaps you fell while going to the riverbank" Nami couldn’t believe what he was saying. Does he think so little of me? She felt offended but more by the fact that it was his fault when all she wanted was to have a conversation. Barbarous man.
“No” Nami tried her best not to hiss, but unlike that violent man she wouldn’t drop herself to that level…, now thinking about it. Was Yu really the coward man she is thinking of? The resemblance was a bit unsettling, arguably even his personality. That would explain why was he so strong to begin with…or it could be something else-
“I had a little accident that i did not foresee and.. ended up slipping in the staircase last night” she lied testing his wits… for now he didn’t show any disbelief but it seemed that he was mocking her to think he wouldn’t even hide is intentions irks me… that was somewhat truth…yet she found herself getting closer to his side it’s only to avoid the rain
"o-oh that 's… kind of funny but you should be more careful” Nami understood his tone. It wasn't really amused… it had a hint of wariness, something she found annoying. How come he finds me suspicious? I have been careful, not only that im a stranger Nami wondered, either she was being really obvious or Yu was simply a genius
Nami wouldn’t say it straight out but she was starting to respect Yu… his face is really…. "it's okay...i’m sure i won’t fall like that again” trying to regain some composure, her face straightened. He’s an actual threat, high intelligence and power to back it up.
“Something in my face Nami?” his flustered act wouldn’t fool her anymore, she waited… expecting him to drop the act… since he didn’t she herself started feeling flustered. O-oh so that’s how you’re going to act
"oh nothing, i must say you’re quite handsome? i assume you’re ‘popular with the gals’ “ Nami moved even closer to him… she could see him stiffening at the closeness but didn’t push her away, she herself felt her face heating up did i really said that? So shameful. All of those thoughts were hidden behind a mask of stoicism
"Nah i’d said i’m above average though” Taking it up as joke the boy shrugged her comment off, making her feel less embarrassed “but anyways i’ve never been interested in that kind of stuff anyway”
She could agree on that… she wasn’t one to have-no she did not even remember any of that anymore, that dream was nothing but that a dream…
She kept her best facade and replied to his statement “Well i’m sure you will find someone one day or maybe not” Nami could not care if Yu finds a lover or not she was only there to monitor things personally…
“You might be right” Nami nodded feeling a sense of pride welling up… it was nice to have one that shared the sentiment great minds do think alike…did i said that right?
"well if you’re free, Maybe we could get to know each other as they say” she would not take a no for an answer… regardless her reasoning wasn’t for any ulterior motives… her curiosity for him was enough to make her bold
“Well…i actually wanted to say the same thing, sorry for leaving all of a sudden last time” Nami felt even more proud, nodding to herself she replied
“I agree that was extremely rude of you” and inconsiderate, foolishihateyou- Nami greeted her teeth she did not like when she would have those bursts of words
“Hopefully this time you won’t run away” Nami didn’t knew why but she wanted to leave as fast as she could…why did hate it? Those feelings…why did it angered her each time he ran? She purposely had thrown away all of those painful memories…
Her pace quickened, all of those thoughts just vanished. She didn’t feel anything “Well see you after school?” Naive
“No, I suppose it will have to be some other time” Izanami replied a few steps ahead. Memories, truth? Those were unnecessary, all that mattered was her mission… even with the appearance of that man she must not falter
…….
The rest of the way was full of quietness…. Something Nami would usually enjoy, but… something was wrong she was feeling strange not like herself, and that bothered her
Her introduction to her class was… just strange, that man. Morooka, he was very rude toward his students, and even Yu was slandered… Nami found it funny, and it did not help when Yu replied sarcastically to the teacher…
A strange, attired girl interrupted the rude teacher, just to ask if Yu could sit next to her “I am Kamiya Nami…” Nobody paid attention to it…she was almost forgotten…since nobody cared Nami sat behind him… not really trying to listen but sure the weird short haired girl liked to talk a lot…
Staring into his back was the most she found interesting of today’s ‘class’, it looked very stableable…. Can this girl shut up for once? Nami’s nicest thoughts were interrupted by a constant blabber from the stranged dressed girl
After a long waste of time classes ended just for a vague announcement to be made, though Yu looked troubled, she stood up alongside him-
"oh i nearly forgot! I'm Chie Satonaka. We just talked, remember?" the noisy girl said as if she hadn’t been talking all day with Yu….
"Why wouldn't he remember?" Nami said with the blankest expression she had… it seemed the girl wasn’t the brightest of minds…what a group of idiots Nami genuinely felt like in hell, as she watched the group of Yu’s friends kick and cry…she was done
"I think mine's cracked too....critical hit to the nads...." Yes she wanted to leave this circus as soon as she could
"you should leave him be” What a bunch of imbeciles, except Narukami, Nami had started theorizing…his personality could be an act, there were moments that unsettled her it was if Narukami knew what was going to happen…it simply didn’t make sense
"You should hurry, weren't you invited to walk along them? Regardless, I'm going home" she was busier with more important things than watching these clowns…
"Yeah, don’t forget what you said earlier" The boy named Yu called her out, not that she was forgetting about it… she would ask him at the appropriate time “Yes…i will tell you when…”
- 4/13 Nighttime
Someone had appeared on the midnight channel after the disaster that was last time- Yes last time, she did not expect such violent use of her tools… truly each aspect represented their ideoliese… There was Despair, Emptiness…. Only negative aspects, then there was Yu, the young man had potential…though what aspect he represented that she could not tell…
Anyway the figure within the TV, writhed in whatever feeling it felt, she felt disgusted by it to care…, i wonder how did you react to this? Nami mused, she had heard him agreeing to watch the midnight channel, then again this was her opportunity to see if the boy was just super perceptive…that still wasn’t a valid excuse of knowing about the sagiri, he probably knew where they were snuck into as well
Her eyes watched as the Midnight channel turned itself off… She had things to confirm the next day, but most importantly she felt tired…school was worse than any job she has had.
- 4/14
It was raining again, and Nami was ready this time with her own umbrella! Now that she wasn’t being bothered by the rain she finally relaxed under the silent-
“It’s relaxing isn’t it?” Nami recognized that voice, it was Yu although….he seemed to have a partner… Humans bond pretty quickly…
“I must agree” Nami replied like a robot prompted to do so, Nami eyed the talkative girl…she did not like her already but now… it bothers me, is it because of her closeness? Nami felt like just shooing the girl and have a proper talk with Yu, though choose against it…she wasn’t a salvage, but she would if the girl gets closer, .w-what i’m saying??
“Ahem, I must hurry and you should too” Nami wanted to be out of his sight, and damn that Satonaka girl…
“H-hey wait so when are you free?!” Narukami basically whined…no actually he didn’t, Nami frowned and moved faster, imbecile…
Nami’s rest of the day was thankfully quiet, until Yu shared his experience with the midnight channel.
“I’m telling you, I really pushed my hand into the TV!?” By the exaggerated tone she could tell he was lying… So I was right! He knows of events yet to happen…
“Even my head!” or maybe not. Yu’s voice sounded too genuine…perhaps he’s a ‘pro’ lying, that’d be another similarity he had with that excuse of man
“Come on i’m not believing that, you HAD to be dreaming” the pervert-Hanamura spoke as if judging a person that has gone insane… “sticking your hand and all you say…” Should i say something?hmmm. Nami wanted to speak to keep Yu from embarrassing himself anymore
After thinking for a couple of seconds, she agreed to intervene…just this once, after all it benefited her more than Yu, simply logic “People when are bored really like to make stuff up no?, although i’m quite interested myself” Nami’s eyes widened at the little jolt Yu had. What’s wrong with this man? Anyway she did not liked that little flinch
“Well it’s no lie… you can see it for yourself” Yu said with a certain tone, his suspicions are quite noticeable….
Though things soon turned into some stupid bickering… A being wanted to pop out on Nami’s forehead, she didn’t like all of this unseriousness
“Guys! Come on, I'm not playing, let’s get going” hah! Even him understands now it’s not the time. Nami internally praised Yu
“Are you coming?” Yu stood up from his spot and looked at Nami…
“Of course…” there was no need to negate her feelings of happiness right now…. As things should be “i may not believe you yet” Nami followed his trail
“But it does seem interesting” it was just an excuse, Nami wasn’t really planning on getting this involved but…there was no way back from it now
……
“Wow, it's huge! Looks pretty expensive…” Satonaka gasped like an uneducated child… Nami simply ignored them, it seemed even Yu was sick of this farce
“Perfect then! This should fit the bill” dumb pervert said some nonsense Nami did not understood
“Fit the bill??” i’ll have to check the dictionary later. Nami’s attention shifted completely as she beheld Yu sticking his hand into a TV
“It’s an expression, not literal” that makes sense, wait wha-. “I’m going even further.” no this didn’t make any sense, Izanami was supposed to give access but it seemed that did not concerned Narukami as he simply decided to go in…
“That would be foolish you don’t know what’s in there” regardless, going unprepared and with these morons….it could turn dangerous very fast, not that she was concerned…
“Yeah w-what she said!” Satonaka agreed with Nami, no don’t agree with me now…. It felt degrading for some reason
“Hold up, hold up!” Hanamura and Satonaka panicked as Yu went further into the TV
“G-go where anyway!” to the grocery store you m-. Nami’s trail of ‘nice’ thoughts was interrupted by Yu’s voice
“As far as I can make it” hmm too nice i would’ve retorted sarcastically. Nami hummed to herself as if judging Yu’s every action
“I assume you’re not going to listen” he’s very stubborn i think it’s entrailing? Was it? Anyway it was something along that “but still it-” she was about to say something probably to sound smart but… Yu had reached for her hand, it felt soft yet it was a solid grasp
“W-what are y-you-” a-ah you’re going to take responsibility r-right? Nami gritted her teeth, damn human body reactions! She excused her feelings to her body…reasonable but not so much when it’s only holding hands for literal seconds- her thoughts her interrupted by a scream as all of them fell in.
“is this…?” Yu’s act was starting to get on her nerves… it was so obvious this wasn’t his first time here, if i remember correctly he used his other self in a lower floor of Yomotsu hirasaka…
“don’t tell me…we’re inside the TV?” Satonoka girl commented like the idiot she is… Nami scolded herself for picking rude nicknames, even if deserved in her opinion
Another worthless argument started but as usual Nami completely ignored it. Yu? What are you doing…? Nami wondered as she saw the young man, Yu. stretch his hand towards the fog…he seemed to be entrailed by it as if someone was calling him, to that she did not had an answer
“Are you feeling unwell perhaps?” Maybe this will distract him. Nami placed her hand over his shoulder gripping it softly… hmm it feels good once again i am being irrational…i need to purge this needs. No elaboration needed when a girl says this…
“No i…just thought i saw something familiar” if Yu says so, then it must be true. She didn’t agreed just because, she too felt something wrong with this place, something seemed to be pulling the whole place downwards…she would check up on this, Nami eyed Yu suspiciously perhaps….
Her suspicions intensified as Yu ‘followed’ someone that had ‘fallen’ in here, that until an abandoned building? It looked like her apartments…not the time for complaints!
The interference is much weaker here, it seems it could just be an insanely strong shadow… to think it would make the realm being pulled down… that’s some distortion there…
“A-are we allowed inside?” Satonaka halted in front of a pair of stairs to which Yu had ran off.
“Is it really the moment to be asking that?” oh how would’ve she liked scolding her much more… but Yu seemed extremely agitated
“What is this p-place!” Satonaka whined, scared of a noose and a chair… pretty disturbing indeed
“hey , hey this is a creepy place we’re in…” Hanamura was right but that wasn’t what interested her, Yu was not bothered at all if anything he looked reminiscent
“H-hey do you hear it?” Satonaka ‘subtly’ closed the gap between her and Yu… i clearly didn’t, move now
“What is THAT? A monkey bear!?” Satonaka hung to Yu’s arm—and it was REASONABLE, what was that! D-disgusting! Nami backed at the monstrosity
“I-it must be a beast!” Izanami was ready to lit that thing on fire! W-what kind of abhorrence is this! This… ‘thing’ had what it seemed to be one of her aspects? Unknown. But was it a shadow? There was no mistake, it was a shadow…
“W-who are you?” Nami deadpanned… it sounded funny it even looked scared of them, wise. Yu or herself could eradicate it with no issue whatsoever but-
Nami’s trail of thoughts were interrupted by what she could only interpret as stupid! “That’s not a wise choice what are you-” Yu, what are you doing!
“Did you happen to see a girl around here?” What was he even doing? There was no one else but them and that bear thingy…
“Dude why are you talking to it…” Hanamura groaned as always
Something is off, this realm wasn’t empty it was full of filthy… shadows, so it was weird that it was so calm and quiet- and then it happened a shadow broke into the room they were in.
“Let’s get out NOW!” Yu screamed prompting his friends to start ru- h-huh did he just grabbed my hand…again? Nami cursed herself again for acting like a schoolgirl each time they had contact… ridiculous
“Come on, don't stay frozen!” his face is so… entrailing to see. Oh how i would like to- Nami blinked and returned to her usual self
“Oh…okay it seems I got distracted…” Good thing everyone was panicking to notice her blush, Nami clenched her hold on him. His hand feels really good. Nami scolded herself
Satonaka was licked by one of the shadows…now she really tried to not feel amused by it- that wasn’t important right now. Izanami’s eyes widened as she heard a familiar yet voice. It was Yu’s?
“Has thou finally accepted thy path?” What do you mean? Who are you speaking to? Who are you? Nami wanted to say, but she found herself unable to express herself
“Very well then.” It’s statement was final. I-i really tried to deny this…but it’s obvious now. She really wanted to get along with Narukami…but if this was the case then-
“I’m Thou….Thou art I.” Izanami’s head hurt, what was the meaning of all this…of all people why him? T-this can’t be…
Izanagi? Appeared bathed in a graceful golden light. She had already experienced the persona’s attack…but seeing it up close was another thing. His name. His looks. His personality….
Izanami should’ve expected it after all… a persona is basically your other self. So i really just wanted to pass it off as a coincidence… shameful.
Naru…kami. What a joke it was so obvious…. Why did you leave me then…? Her head hurt even more, she wasn’t supposed to remember any of this. I-i told you to not see. Nami didn’t even knew how to take it… those painful memories just kept coming back did they even happen? It must be a fabrication. SHUT UP! I don’t understand any of this.. I don’t want to either! My sole purpose is to grant humanity’s wish!
Izanagi destroyed the immense amount of shadows that had surrounded them with ease. As the shadows faltered so did her will, after all what was the point of it all if she could just have him back…
The same kinds of thoughts continued for a second, until Nami regained her conscious from the shock…she called it. It wasn’t good. She didn’t felt good
“Who are you exactly?” Hanamura asked, amazed by the spectacle. Izanagi, Narukami. Is very easy to understand Nami replied internally…she didn’t want to say it out loud though
“I already told you, Yosuke.” why are you looking at me… Nami pretty much ignored everything else…but he did looked handsome right now
“That…was” Revealing… She had an idea of what she was dealing with now… that would explain why he never needed her help to enter the TV world. In a sense it could make sense, and it seems this place is being affected by something else…i wonder She looked at him while Yu talked with Hanamura.
“Come on let’s get out of here, Yosuke, Nami” that was was the best course of action, she nodded.
“Yeah of course sensei!” that creature seems to have a lot of respect towards Yu, perhaps it knows something. Another thing on her list. Confirm the creature’s identity and functions, most importantly what it was- H-huh why is Satonaka on his arms. Her eyes stared intently at the revolting scene, at least for her.
“Why not wake her up” This was logical, carrying Satonaka made her an unwanted burden. “It would be easier, no?” It only made sense… Nami narrowed her eyes, this felt wrong…
“Well it seems she got way too scared she even passed out” Yu hummed “waking her up right now could cause negative reactions…” It made sense. It made sense. It made sense. This is why she hated any kinds of feelings…they made her uncomfortable for nonsensical things.
“I’m so thrilled to tell her this though ‘you got carried like a princess’ hehehe” Hanamura obviously muttered out loud. No, it was nothing like that, it's barely carrying, if anything Satonaka is more like a sack of potatoes than a princess- Hanamura was on her blacklist now. Clowns are not allowed around her.
“Guys were here!” The annoying bear announced and made some TV’s appear. Maybe i should distract myself a little
“Do you have a name creature?” She could see the thing’s eyes lit up. She added it to her list instantly. No hesitation…
“Yeah of course! My name is Teddie and I'm a very busy bear!” Nami blinked that name didn’t sound like anything from here… that’s a weird name, is it foreign?
After Satonaka embarrassed herself in front of everyone the girl slowly shrinked “Oh…oh…” Nami shook her head “C-can we leave?” Satonaka said soon after
“Agreed it’s getting late” She had to agree with her though, Nami couldn’t wait to get herself a good cup of black bitter coffee. “and aren’t you tired?” and well Nami was concerned about Yu…
“If i’m being honest…i feel like a corpse right now” Yu says jokingly. That’s an insensitive joke.
“Well after the show you made…i would be scared of you if you weren't tired” Nami completed ignored the comment and gestured towards the exit
“Well you should rest then” even if your joke was one…of bad taste. “try not to exhaust yourself like this” Nami reached for his hand, it seemed he had the same in mind as his reached for hers as well… maybe i could get used to this. They stared at each other for a few seconds perhaps minutes
“You guys should get a room” Satonaka said with…honestly Nami didn’t knew what that meant? Sleep together? Well it wasn’t anything weird so why…
“Get a room?” She had to ask what that meant just in case. That was shutdown immediately by a panicking Yu.
“Let’s just go” Yu pushed them all out of the TV world but his blushing didn’t go unnoticed by Satonaka and herself
Nami’s way back home, or rather apartment was quiet, no one was outside at the time. For her this was a blessing in disguise.
“Damnit…” An annoyed voice commented, said voice came from- wasn’t that Tohru?
“Damnit it all…why do i have to deal with this now…” The man sighed tiredly
“O-oh aren’t you that girl causing trouble at the shopping district last time?” His tone became more relaxed almost plasticly fake
“Ah…a shameful action but yes.” Nami kept her distance, she did not liked the man named Tohru. “I was merely teaching some respect…”
Tohru hummed clearly uninterested. “I can understand that…teaching respect” Tohru shook his head “But violence is never the answer!” he said in a cheerful tone, he almost sounded like a proper officer of the law
“You might be right” Nami was just as uninterested, so she hurried her pace, her unit was just upstairs
“Yeah…” Tohru stopped, it seemed he had found his destination. “That’s not how to start a bond huh…” Tohru muttered to himself. Nami did not care what it was she hurried home “i will try again…someday after all that old man said it was the power of something” Adachi scoffed as if it was true… an old man with a long nose? Yeah no.
