STILES AND his father sit quietly beside one another in the teenagers father's vehicle soon arriving at their destination.

Stiles sighs seeing the creepy building ahead of them before hearing the soft hum of a motorcycle approaching and turning off, seeing Scott rushing towards them.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Scott asks looking at both Stilinski's, "Because we wanted to avoid something like this." Stilinski explains looking at his son.

"It's only seventy-two hours." Stiles states trying to sound positive for his best friend's sake.

"This is the same place where Barrow came from. The guy who had a tumor inside him filled with flies. You don't know everything yet." Scott says panicked.

"I know enough. Nogitsunes, mage hybrids, kitsunes, oni... or whatever they're called." Stilinski lists off the names of the supernatural beings his recently learnt about.

"Wow. That was actually all surprisingly correct." Stiles says shocked.

"Scott, I saw an MRI that looked exactly like my wife's and it terrifies me. I'm headed down to LA tomorrow to talk to a specialist." Stilinski states to the true alpha.

"Then why are you putting him in here?" Scott asks confused, "He's not. It's my decision." Stiles explains.

"Stiles, Miah and I can't help you if you're in here." Scott states.

"And I can't hurt either one of you. Scott, the nogitsune wants Miah dead." Stiles states wanting to protect his best friends from himself.

"Deaton's got some ideas. Argent's calling people. We're going to find something and... if we can't.." Scott explains.

"If you can't... if you can't. Then you have to do something for me, okay?" Stiles states looking at Scott who nods.

"Make sure I never get out and protect Miah at all costs." Stiles demands looking at Scott sadly.

Stilinski motions for him to walk into the gates of Eichen House leaving Scott outside alone with his thoughts.

✹

MIAH DIDN'T expect to wake up to an empty bed with a note on her nightstand left by her boyfriend saying he didn't wake up her because she needed the rest but he needed to step out for a while and that he'll meet her at school.

Miah frowns feeling a weird buzz in her body looking around with the paranoia of being watched, choosing to ignore the feeling for now.

Miah gets out of her bed to shower and get ready for another day at school and to see her boyfriend and friend and make sure they're okay after the past few days.

Miah arrives at school beside her cousin seeing Scott walking towards her already needing the immediate comfort of his girlfriend arms wrapped around him.

"You okay, Scott?" Miah frowns feeling his arms tighten around her waist.

"Just worried about Stiles. He said something that worried me, Mi." Scott explains inhaling her scent through his nose from her hair and clothes.

"He'll be okay. We'll all be okay. We'll figure this out." Miah states trying to convince herself.

Scott jumps into the conversation once more explaining what Deaton, himself and Allison talked about last night with Argent and Joel on the phone after he saw Stiles admit himself into Eichen.

⛧°｡⋆ ⋆｡°⛧

CHRIS AND Joel sit at the phone booth at the sheriff station, "Did you have any trouble with Ikeda?" Chris asks the veterinarian.

"Only minor. The white wolf was exactly where you said it would be but we have two problems. Now... first the lichen is not a cure. It'll wear off in a matter of days." Deaton explains to the Argent and Hale in lockup.

"But... while it does work. The Oni won't go after Stiles, right?" Chris asks.

"I hope. Eichen House has an unusual history. It might not be all that safe for the oni there, as well." Deaton explains seeing Allison and Scott looking at confused.

"What's the second problem?" Joel asks, "I checked with your contacts in Japan, Argent. The yakuza boss you saw killed by the oni never found the scroll." Deaton explains.

Joel and Chris both sigh knowing that's not good, "What scroll?" Scott asks, "A Shugendo scroll. The Shugendo were the ascetic mystics of Japan." Deaton states.

"The scroll had information on how to exorcise a Nogitsune." Chris explains in shorter terms, "So, we need to find that scroll?" Scott asks.

"Exactly. And I did get a name of the man who last purchased it. Kincaid." Deaton states.

Allison looks up shocked, "He was with Katashi. He's the guy who met with Isaac to buy the gun." Allison states.

"Sounds like Katashi wanted the scroll for himself." Deaton says.

"But Stilinski already told me nothing like it was found among his things. And a paranoid like Katashi would keep it close. Probably on him at all times." Chris explains while Joel looks around making sure no one is listening to their conversation.

"What does a Shugendo scroll look like?" Allison asks, "Something like this." Deaton states showing both Scott and Allison a large scroll of paper.

"Do they come in different sizes?" Allison asks, "Any size." Deaton confirms.

"Then I think I know where it might be. W're going to need everyone's help. Including Miah." Allison states looking at Scott who nods agreeing with his ex girlfriend.

✹

MIAH LOOKS at Allison across the courtyard nodding at her that she's in for the next part of the plan, "The Nogitsune wants you dead, Mi." Scott says out of nowhere.

"Wait what?" Miah asks looking at her boyfriend shocked, "Yeah. Stiles explained it to me last night before he and his dad walked into Eichen. I think it might be for your power." Scott explains nervously.

"Well that's alarming." Miah mumbles shocked from the sudden news.

"We'll meet at Allison's later. I'm going to see Lydia and Allison over there." Miah explains nodding at the two girls across the courtyard smiling at her.

"Okay. See you later." Scott says quickly pecking the girls lips leaving her a little shocked before walking towards Allison and Lydia motioning for them to walk.

The three leave the school going to Allison's apartment to go over the plan between one another until the boys get to the Argent Apartment after school.

✹

JOEL, DEREK and Chris all sit in separate cells as the two werewolves try to listen for any news about their release or anything in general.

"Still nothing?" Chris asks not receiving a reply from both Hale's, "Derek? Joel?" Chris asks once again.

"Hold on." Derek mutters listening to the conversation in the lobby of the sheriff station.

"So, the Katashi murder is now a federal investigation. Everything here that wasn't blown up needs to be placed in lockup." Parrish states.

Joel and Derek snap out of their zones, "You were right. They're moving all the evidence." Joel explains looking at Chris.

"Was there anything about the murder itself? Any other details?" Chris asks.

"Just about putting Katashi's things in a federal lockup. And something about Stilinski being out for the day." Joel explains tapping against his leg bored out of his mind and worrying about his daughter after what Scott told him last night.

"You know... if all of this is true. People are dead because of Stiles." Derek states.

"But is it really Stiles? Remember. We've had this problem before." Chris states.

"But we got lucky with Jackson. What happens when you don't get lucky?" Derek asks with his back leaning against the cell Chris is in.

"I guess it depends on how much or how little of Stiles is left." Chris states, "You ever heard of the Berserkers?" Chris asks both Joel and Derek.

"Been there. Scary as shit." Joel mutters, "Germanic warriors. They wore the skins of bears to channel their ferocity." Derek nods.

"They didn't just wear them. They became them." Chris states.

"You know. A couple years ago, a family came to us for help with their son... this group of teenagers. They were doing all sorts of rituals with animal skins. Somehow... they tapped into it. But, with Berserkers, the human side doesn't last long. They're not tempered by the moon." Chris explains.

Joel nods remembering that time, "He killed people?" Derek asks.

"He tore them apart. Eventually, I had to tell the family their son was gone. It took three of us to take him down. Almost every bullet we had and... when it was over. I felt no remorse. None. I knew that kid was long gone." Chris mutters.

"Would you feel any remorse putting Stiles down?" Derek asks, "Stiles? Yes. But not a Nogitsune." Chris explains.

"Amen to that. If anything happens to my daughter... I will put them through hell. I just got her back." Joel mutters.

Derek nods agreeing with his brother, "I'll help. If anything happens to her. No one will wanna stand in our way." Derek states protectively of his niece.

✹

LYDIA WATCHES as Miah bites her nails anxiously, "Okay seriously. Memi, what's up?" Lydia asks snapping Miah out of her overwhelming thoughts.

"The nogitsune wants me dead." Miah explains getting straight to the point shocking the strawberry blonde.

"We will not let that happen." Allison states looking at the blonde mage hybrid confidence laced in her tone.

"I know." Miah nods hearing a knock on the apartment door.

"My father and Joel said all of the Katashi evidence is being moved to a federal lockup by armored car tonight. Probably within the next few hours." Allison states getting straight to the point answering the apartment door seeing Scott, Aiden and Ethan waiting outside.

"We're going to rob an armored car?" Ethan asks surprised seeing Miah and Lydia standing at the offices doorway together, "Well." Lydia mumbles.

"We're going to try." Miah states looking at the werewolves standing in front of her staring at her with shocked faces.

Miah leads them into the office as Allison begins explaining the plan, "This is a really bad plan." Scott states, "It's not that bad." Lydia says offended.

"It's not that good." Ethan shrugs, "None of us knows the route they're going to take. If Allison can get one of her dad's GPS trackers on the armored car. Then we can follow it. So, when it gets here..." Miah explains.

"We attack em?" Aiden interjects, "No. Your bikes will be in the middle of the road... looking like you guys got into an accident. And, when the driver gets out to help." Lydia explains.

"We attack 'em." Aiden states, "No!" Miah, Allison and Lydia all simultaneously shout.

"You'll distract him. And Scott will break open the back door." Miah explains looking at her boyfriend.

"I hope." Scott mumbles, "And you'll get Katashi's finger." Lydia states.

"It's not his actual finger. Is it?" Ethan asks disgustingly, "You are so out of our league." Lydia scoffs.

Miah chuckles before looking at the floor seeing Ethan and Aiden glaring at her, "Why aren't we just going to Stilinski for help?" Ethan asks.

"Because... if he gets caught, then it's the Sheriff tampering with federal evidence." Scott explains, "Guys... this is going to work. We can do this." Allison states.

"We're losing Stiles. My dad and Allison's are in jail for murder with Derek. We need to do this." Miah demands urgently looking at her boyfriend who immediately nods from the eye contact he's sharing with his gorgeous girlfriend.

✹

DEREK WATCHES as Joel and Chris are taken into a room together, "Fan-fucking-tastic." Joel mutters seeing the person in the room.

"They told us that our lawyer was here. So, either I'm going to congratulate you on recently passing the bar. Or I should be worried about something." Chris states looking at the woman sitting at the desk.

"Hello, Christoph... Joelseph." Araya states nodding at them, Joel groans hearing the woman's voice seeing Araya smirking at him.

"Kill me now." Joel whispers sitting beside Chris at the interrogation desk.

⛧°｡⋆ ⋆｡°⛧

SCOTT AND Miah walk into Scott's house together holding hands before walking upstairs to the males bedroom getting things together for tonight's plan.

Miah frowns seeing Kira waiting in the living room looking at the blonde mage hybrid nervously.

"Ki-Ki? You okay?" Miah asks hearing Scott rushing down the staircase after her.

"What are you doing here?" Scott asks, "I want to help." Kira states, "I'm not sure it's such a good idea." Scott mumbles and Miah frowns confused.

"Because of my mother?" Kira asks, "No. I know that's not your fault." Scott explains.

"Yeah. But it still feels like it is. And... if I can help, shouldn't I?" Kira asks seeing Miah nodding at her behind Scott.

"People who help us usually end up getting hurt. Badly." Scott states before turning his head seeing Miah stop nodding at her and look at him before blushing.

"Okay. But I've been practicing." Kira explains, "Oo. Yes!" Miah jumps excited knowing the brunette has been practicing her katana moves.

"Practicing what?" Scott asks, "I've been picking this up really fast. Like crazy fast." Kira states unsheathing her katana.

Nearly slicing both Miah and Scott in the process.

"Woah." Miah ducks gasping seeing Scott looking at the katana wide eyed.

"You sure about that?" Scott asks helping Miah up from the floor.

"Sorry. Watch." Kira nods showing off her new skills with the katana and doing a few tricks shocking Scott and Miah.

"Okay. You're coming. She's coming." Miah nods looking at Scott who nods agreeing with his girlfriend, Kira smiles at the couple happily.

After a while of waiting watching the vehicle that's taking the evidence into lockup.

Miah looks at the Allison watching through her weapon before using her mage ability to see clearly.

Walking towards Aiden and Ethan ready to team up with them just this once.

"This does not mean either of you are forgiven. But let's kick some ass." Miah states looking at the former alphas who nod at all waiting for the cue to make themselves known.

✹

JOEL AND Chris sit beside each other looking at the female hunter ahead of them, "You want to talk about the code?" Chris asks.

"Ours is more than a code of behaviour. It's a code of honour. These things bind our families. You don't abandon such things lightly." Araya explains earning a scoff from the Hale man.

"Where in the code does it say my wife had to be killed along with my son and up until a few months ago. I thought my daughter was dead too. And Chris's wife to kill herself?" Joel snarls at the older woman.

Although the man was born a werewolf, he became a hunter at the young age of nine.

Being brought in by Araya and the rest of the hunters until he met his soulmate at the age of fifteen.

The two ran away together and had two children, up until his families death.

Joel made himself known once again, "Your wife honored us with her dying breath, Christoph. And Joelseph... we didn't kill your family. Someone else did that." Araya states shocking the Hale man.

"Both of your families are very complicated though. Aren't they?" Araya smirks.

"What do you really want to know? Is this about Allison or Miah? What are you fishing for?" Chris asks pissed.

"I don't fish, mijo. I hunt" Araya taunts; "Hurt a single hair on my daughters head, Araya. You won't just have me after you." Joel snarls at the woman walking out of the small interview room leaving the two men snarling at the retreating figure.

"I fucking hate that woman." Joel mutters looking at Chris who nods agreeing with the Hale man.

✹

AIDEN, ETHAN and Miah all hear the grunts and groans coming from the armoured vehicles.

Miah looks down seeing her boyfriend being beaten by Kincaid which only angers her more seeing Allison, Lydia and Kira all huddled together on a nearby wall.

"You have the eyes of an alpha. But where's the strength?" Kincaid asks smirking before feeling a liquid running down his face from his nose, "Up here!" Ethan calls out.

Miah smirks twinkling her fingers in a hello motion before sending the werewolf into a nearby wall with her chaos magic.

Aiden and Ethan both jump down helping the mage hybrid fight on the ground.

Miah growls at the werewolf that hurt her friends and her boyfriend before sending him into the ground.

"For a werewolf. You're pretty weak. Being beaten by a teenage girl." Miah snarls before knocking the man unconscious knowing the twins want to kill him.

Miah shares a look with Scott nodding at him that he's okay and alive, she just knocked him out cold.

Throwing the silver prosthetic towards her boyfriend who immediately catches it smiling at how badass his girlfriend just was, however their smiles drop.

Miah grows pale bleeding from her nose and stumbling forward, "Oh no," Miah mumbles wiping her nose.

"The Nogitsune's back." Miah mumbles before falling unconscious receiving wide eyed looks from everyone around her.

"We have to get her to Deaton!" Scott urges picking his girlfriend up and driving them to the animal clinic so Deaton can help the blonde mage hybrid and the girl he loves.

Deaton watches as Scott brings the unconscious blonde into the animal clinic, already prepared Deaton injects something in the blondes blood system.

Miah sighs out in relief not in pain anymore for whatever reason, "She's okay. Just drained." Deaton explains seeing the look of sadness cast over Scott's face.

Scott looks up handing the small sheet of paper to the man who frowns at what the paper says.

"There isn't much here... unfortunately." Deaton explains nodding at Miah who's sitting up slowly with her hands holding her head.

Scott rushes towards the blonde before looking back at the man, "Does it say anything?" Scott asks.

"My Japanese isn't great. But, it appears to say that one method of expelling a nogitsune is to change the body of the host." Deaton explains confusing the couple.

"Change the body?" Scott asks, "Which begs the question. How do we change Stiles's body?" Deaton asks.

Hearing Miah inhale deeply beside him sharing the same look.

"By turning him into a werewolf." Scott states looking at Miah who nods softly.

✹

SCOTT HELPS Miah lay down on her bed due to the blonde mage hybrid feeling weak and slow, "What's happening to me?" Miah whispers.

"I don't know Mi. But I'm guessing it has something to do with the Nogitsune coming back." Scott explains gently feeling pain radiating up his arm, he sees the blackness in his veins begin to fade.

Scott sighs seeing Miah exhale in relief from the loss of pain, "Get some rest, gorgeous." Scott says softy sending Miah into slumberland.

Unaware that Scott is looking at her with genuine fear in his eyes, he has never seen Miah this weak before and if the nogitsune gets any stronger.

Could he be draining the power from Miah and slowly killing her?
