"You want to bite him?" Scott asked.
"You said it yourself, he can´t be a fox and a wolf at the same time." Lydia said as she looked over at Scott.
"Is he in there?" Peter asked as he walked into the living room to find Stile staring at him with an angry look on his face.
In side the kitchen Scott and Lydia, Alan, Melissa stood around the kitchen counter." Do you really thing he going to help?" Scott asked as he looked towards Lydia.
"I don´t know." Lydia said, feeling bad that she had to lie to her friends, but if it helped Stiles. It was what she had to do." But we are running out of time to come up with another plan."
Scott turned his head over his shoulder before walking into the living room to find Peter walking around the couch before stopping on the side of it as he leaned his head to the side.
"He doesn´t look like he would survive a slap across the face, much less the bit of a werewolf." Peter said as he walked over to stand in front of Stiles, and he frown as he finds Stiles staring back at him like he doesn´t have a care in the world.
"You don´t think it would work?" Scott asked.
"This is more a war of the mind than the body." Peter said as he bowed down to Stiles eye level as he searched his eyes for an answer.
"There are better methods to winning the battle." Peter said as he stood up so he was looking down at Stiles.
Alan took a step closer to Peter." What kind of methods?" He asked.
Peter started at Stiles as he reached out for Scott´s hand and pressed down on his hand so his claws came out in front of Stiles face and smiled behind the tape before looking towards Scott with and raised eyebrow, like he was daring him to do it.
"We are going to get into his head." Peter said.
Scott turned his head as he hears Lydia and Peter walking back into the living room.
"So do we have a plan?" Alan asked.
Peter put is hands on the back of the couch as he leaned forwards on his hands." Scott is going to try and dig through pale and sickly evil Stiles mind." He said as he looked down at the back of Stiles head before looking back up at Scott." To unearth pale and sickly real Stiles. Then gide him back from the depths of his own subconscious. But he is not going to do it alone."
"What do you mean?" Scott asked with a confused look on his face.
"Somebody need to go in with you." He said as he turned his head towards Lydia.
Lydia walked around the couch and sat down beside Stiles as she nervously placed her hands on her lap.
" So what do we do if we find him?" Scott asked as Peter placed his claws on the back of Stiles neck so he could enter his mind.
"You are going to have to guide him out somehow." Peter said as he took Scott´s other hand and placed the claws like he had done on Stiles." Try to give him back control of his mind, his body."
"Could you elaborate on the somehow?" Lydia asked letting out a scared sigh." It´s not feeling very specific at the moment."
"Improvise." Peter said as he walked backwards away from Scott.
"What if it is another trick?" Scott asked.
Peter let out a laugh as he looked towards Scott." When are you people going to start trusting me?"
"I ment him." Scott said, looking down at Stiles.
"Scott, we are running out of time, not just for us." He said with a pointed look on his face and he knew Scott know what he was talking about when he nodded his head back at him.
Scott closed his eye, letting out a deep breath before opening his eyes and his once brown eyes were now bright reed as he stood there taking a couple of deep breath as he got himself ready to enter Stiles mind.
Melissa and Alan, Peter stood there watching and waiting until Melissa sees the blood running out from Lydia´s nose.
"Look at that. Do you see that?" Melissa said as she pointed towards Lydia." She is bleeding."
Peter and Melissa both walked towards Lydia, but Alan reach out his hand to stop her as Peter got down on his knees in front of Lydia.
"I don´t think that is a good idea." Alan said as he watched at Peter placed his hands on Lydia´s cheeks.
"What is happening? What is happening to her?" Melissa yelled.
Lydia. Lydia, can you hear me?" Peter said as he softly shook her face." Lydia you are stronger than this. You need to concentrate." Peter said as he moved his hand down to the top of her shoulders." Lydia." He said shaking her shoulder and when that didn´t work, he yelled out her name as loud as he could.
The three of them stood there for a few more minuet before they heard Scott gasp for air as his and Lydia´s eyes opened.
"Did it work? Did it work!?" Scott asked as he walked around the couch so he could get down on his knees in front of Stiles.
"What happened?" Lydia asked as she held a hand on the back of her neck." Why didn´t it work?" She asked as she turned her head towards Peter.
"Because it is not science Lydia. It´s supernatural." He said as he took a hold of her arm and leads her behind the group." I did my part. Now give me a name."
" What name? What are you talking about?" Scott asked as he looked towards Peter and Lydia.
Lydia turned towards Scott with a frown on her face, but Peter made her glance back at him." Lydia, a deal is a deal. Even with me."
Lydia let out a sigh as she tilted her head and whispered into Peter´s ear" It´s Malia"
Stiles let out a gasp as he moved back against the couch as he pulled the tape off his mouth and stick a finger inside his mouth pulling at something. He pulls harder as his body fall down of the couch making him fall forward onto his knees as he started to pull gauze out of his mouth, he started to choke and gags as he kept on pulling more and more gauze out of his mouth, a few second later a black smoke leaves his mouth as he throws up the rest of the gauze, making him fall back against the couch as he breaths hard. His eyes goes wide as he sees a hand materialize out of it.
"Oh, my god." Melissa says as she sees the hand propping itself up and out.
They all see the gauzed hand, but their eyes goes wide as the sees what looked like a leather jacked arm moving up and a second he pushed his head up through as well and he was gasping for air as he pulled out his other arm, slamming it onto the floor and pushed himself out.
Scott and Alan moved in front of Melissa and Lydia as the watched what the though was the Nogitsune was looking down at his hand like he was checking it over before he brought it to his head as if he was trying to take it off and when he realized he couldn´t do it , he took a step towards them and Alan pushed Melissa and Lydia behind him as Scott and Peter grabbed the Nogitsune by the arms, pinning him down by the couch.
"Hold him down!" Peter told Scott.
" I am trying." Scott said as he tried to push him back as the Nogitsune kept on trying to move the gauze from around his face.
" Wait!" Scott yelled as he pushed Peter back with one hand as he reach out the other to move some gauze away and his eyes when wide as he sees Stiles was underneath the gauze.
A tearful Stiles looked back at Scott with a shocked look himself." Scott!" Stiles said not believing that he was really seeing Scott.
"Scott!" Alan whispered as he looked towards the now open door.
Scott turned to see the other Stiles were gone and as he turned to look around the room, he realized Lydia was gone. " Where is she?" Scott asked as he ran towards the door, calling out Lydia´s name.
Sometime later. Stiles were lied on Scott´s bed, staring up at the ceiling before looking to the side to see Melissa was reaching out for his wrist, but paused before pulling it back, stiles sees this and he lifted his hand towards her with a sad smile on his face. Melissa slowly placed her point and middle finger on his wrist as she looked down at her watch for a few second.
"Well." She started to say as she let go of his arm." Medically, you seem okay. You are definitely a real person."
"Okay, so i am real, but.. am i really me?"Stiles asked as he heard foot steps out side the room. Stiles and Melissa looked towards the door , to see Scott walking in and he cleared his throat as he looked down at Stiles.
" Is she here?" Stiles asked.
Scott nodded is head." Yes."
Stiles let out a sigh."Okay, let´s do this." Stiles said as he moved off the bed, but as he placed his feet on the floor his lags gave out underneath him, he was about to fall to the floor, but before he could he felt arms around him.
"I am okay." Stiles said as he looked up at Scott.
"You sure you are up for this?" Scott asked worried.
"No, but we have to do this." Stiles said as he quickly looked towards Melissa before looking back at Scott." I need to know."
"Okay." Scott said as he helped Stiles out of the room and down the stairs, and as the rounded the corner the both stopped seeing Kira´s mother standing there, looking at them. Her eyes fell on Stiles, nodding her head at him.
"Do you recognize me?"
Stiles nodded his head nervously as he took a step closer to her, but he stopped when he sees Kira running into the living room.
"Stop!" Kira yelled as she sees her mother putting her hand out to stop her.
"It is okay." Stiles said as he walked closer to Kira and her mother." I am the one who asked her to come."
"You are one whos going to get stabbed with swords." Kira turned to look at her mother." Mom, don´t do this to him."
"It´s already done." She said as she sees Stiles tilted his head towards her, confused as an Oni appeared out of the corner of Stiles eye , and he turned around just as two more appeared and made their way towards him.
Stiles took a step back as one of them walked closer to him, it stopped in front of him and reached up and placed his hand on Stiles cheek. Stiles closed his eyes as he let out a sigh of pain as his body started to shake from the pain his body were feeling. A few second later the Oni moved his hand away from his face, making Stiles fall to his knees.
"Check behind his ear." Noshiko said as she looked down at Stiles.
Scott moved down on his knees beside Stiles as he check behind his ear, letting out a sigh of relief as he sees the mark of the Oni." It worked." He said as he turned to look at his mother and Alan before looking back as he helped Stiles to stand up.
"So, i am actually me?" Stiles asked as he leaned on Scott as he tried to stand on his feet as he looked at Noshiko.
"More you then the Nogitsune." She told him.
"Can the Oni find him?" Stiles asked.
"Tomorrow night, It´s to close to dawn now."
"Can the kill him?" Stiles asked as he grabbed a hold of Scott arm as he felt his lags give out.
"It depends on how strong he is." She nods and quickly look at Alan before looking back at Stiles.
"What?" Stiles asked as he looked between Alan and Noshiko." What is it?"
Scott saw the look that was past between Alan and Noshiko and he had a pretty good idea what they both were thinking.
"What is it?" Stiles asked nervously as he to sees the look past between the to grown ups.
"What about Lydia?" Scott asked quickly as he moved closer to Stiles." Why would he take her?"
"He would only take her for an advantage."
"You mean for her power." Alan asked.
"The power of a banshee." She nodded her head, before she leaned it to the side, because she just realized she didn´t see Hanna anywhere.
"Where is Hanna?" She asked.
"Hanna?" Stiles asked as he turned his head over his shoulder to look at Noshiko." You talking about the crazy girl from Eichen house? Why would she bee here?" He asked confused.
"She is with the sheriff." Alan told her.
"Why is she with my dad?" Stiles asked as he looked between Alan and Noshiko.
"Come with me." Alan said as he held out his hand to Noshiko and the walked out of the living room together.
"What is going on?" Stiles asked as he turned to look at Scott." Scott?" Stiles looked at his best friend begging him to tell him what was going on.
"What do you remember bout Hanna, before the Nogitsune took over?" Scott asked.
"Nothing much." Stiles said as he ran a hand down the back of his neck." I only saw her a few times. Why?" Stiles asked as he sees Scott looking towards his mother before looking back at him.
"The Nogitsune took her with him when he left Eichen house and for the last two days, he has been trying to find his way back to her." Scott said before he paused.
"What?" Stiles asked not liking where this were going.
"I thinks he loves her." Scott said with wide eyes like he just realized something." He loves her."
"What is it?" Melissa asked.
"I think i know where he is going." Scott said as he walked over to move his arm around Stiles." Let´s go." Scott said as he helped Stiles out of the living room.
"Where are we going?" Stiles asked confused as Scott opened the front door and leaned them down the stairs.
"We need to go see your dad." Scott said as he walked towards his mothers car.
