Fics like Six Times Tobirama Met Yato

The first time they meet, Tobirama is nine and the god is drunk. Tobirama has little background knowledge on the supernatural. Gods and youkai are outlandish and civilian. What he does have - bedtime tales of woman in fox's clothing and dangerous contracts - explain exactly nothing on why a spirit would choose to kill four Water-nin and then prevent Tobirama from sure death. Is it because he's a child? Do spirits like children? Is capriciousness a characteristic of youkai-kin? No answers are forthcoming. Very belatedly, it occurs to Tobirama the...whatever the man is, might not have killed the Water nin. The thought hadn't presented itself earlier, even though lack of weaponry should have been clue. He has no scroll or pack or even an extra hair-tie, and the Water-nin were killed with a sharp, long edge. No blood from what should have been arterial spray, on man or girl. But the thought of it, that this - man, creature? - doesn't kill, screams wrong from gut-deep instinct, like touching water and saying it's not wet, like saying fire doesn't burn.
