Notes:
Sorry, I fell asleep yesterday. Anyway, my computer was bugging out yesterday, but today it's working like a charm, so I can actually upload without wanting to throw it against the wall.
I don't have much else to say.

Rei POV:
I put the phone down and looked at it.
"Who were you talking to?" Noshiko asks, wasting no time.
"I don't know, but she's coming here," I said.
Noshiko took a deep breath as if she was going to yell but sighed instead.
"Is it the Kitsune you were teaching?" She asks, calmer.
"She said she wasn't, but she knows who it is. She also knows you and Kira." I explained.
"She knows you well enough to know where your house is," I said, as I never told the girl on the phone the address, but she clearly knew where to go.
About 10 minutes pass before the doorbell rings, signaling that the mystery girl on the phone is finally here.
I was about to get up to answer the door, but Noshiko took the liberty to do it instead as she didn't want to let some random person in her house if they claimed to know her and where she lives and her daughter. She was being cautious, as she should.
But surprisingly, the person, whoever it was, passed all of her tests and was let into the house.
Noshiko had a confused look on her face, as if she didn't understand what this person had to do with anything that was going on. But they clearly knew each other. And for some particular reason, I felt like I knew them as well, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember ever meeting them.
That was something I wanted to get to the bottom of, and if this person had answers, then so be it.
"Ah, hey, Kira!" She waved to Kira.
"You're not a kitsune, Lydia. Right? I thought you were a banshee." Kira said, divulging what kind of Supernatural creature she was.
Because Kira was right, she was not a Kitsune. But a Banshee, which was something special. Kitsunes were rare, but banshees were even rarer to find.
It was kind of a family bloodline sort of situation. It was rare and only happened to a certain few within a particular bloodline. It can skip generations, and it was something that was rare to find, and for Banshee to be here, of all places, where there is a conglomerate of different supernatural species was weird.
This town was getting weirder and weirder.
"Yes, you are right. Anyway, Rei, I'm not the Kitsune you're looking for; I know who it is. No matter who I tell you it is, you're not going to remember them because they were taken by the Wild Hunt. You see, when we came to town a week and a half ago, we came all together, but we had the plan to let our friends get captured by the Wild Hunt so they could try to dismantle it from the inside out. But the problem was that we forgot they existed because of the Wild Hunt, and only with sheer luck and good friends did I happen to remember. But that's not what I need to talk to you about. I finally got into contact with one of them through a process that I'm not even going to begin to explain because it's so convoluted in a weird way; they said that he needs to speak to you. Now, this is where it gets a little weird. They were talking to him for a while, but then they said that something had happened, and he stopped talking, but in the messages that he did manage to send, he said he needed to talk to you. Now, this is a guess after I read some of the messages, but apparently, he can see us right now. I don't know how but apparently, he can see us. This is really hard to explain because I don't understand it. But basically, the kitsune that you were trying to teach is kidnapped by the wild Hunt, purposely but still kidnapped. And he wants to talk to you, and apparently, he can see us and hear us, but he cannot message us like he was doing earlier. So if you need to tell him anything, I don't know if you're going to get a response, but apparently, you can speak to the sky; he can hear you." Lydia rambled.
She was trying to piece by piece information together, but she learned from reading the notes and what Klaus had explained to her.
"Let me see if I can get this right. You're not the kitsune; you're a Banshee. You somehow remember something that I can't remember, probably due to your powers, is my best guess anyway. According to you, the kitsune that I am supposed to be teaching was captured o n purpose by the Wild Hunt, and they are somehow communicating to us, but somehow it's stopped, and nobody knows why. But if I were to look up to the sky, I could speak to them." I clarified.
"Yes. That was a much easier way to say what I just said. Sorry I was having a bit of a rough day." The girl said, looking tired, which put truth to her words.
"I see."
Honestly, even though I clarified what she said, it didn't really help my understanding. However, one thing to note is that this kitsune must be something else. To be captured by the Wild Hunt but still able to communicate with the outside was something else.
Even I can feel the illusion covering this town. If it was somehow created by that kitsune, then I do not know why I am a teacher because that's on a whole other level.
However, if it's the Wild Hunt that is creating the illusion and that kitsune found a way to break through it, that's also something pretty special.
As I was thinking about it, some weird image popped into my head, but I don't know why. I don't know why I thought of it, but for some reason, I saw a bunch of computers with different images on them in different places. But it was only for a split second, like I was thinking about something, but the image disappeared the moment I tried to focus on it. It's almost like I saw a control room. Weird, very weird.
Especially that weird green color that surrounded the image in my mind. I felt like I'd seen it before, but I couldn't possibly remember it at this point. But it seems so familiar to something I had read about a long, long time ago. Huh...
"So if I speak to the sky, presumably, the kitsune can hear me." I repeated, looking up with a frown.
I would be looking pretty stupid if this was all some stupid trick. But I looked up to the sky anyway, and I asked a simple question.
"What do you need to talk to me about?" But there was no response and as the seconds ticked by, I frowned and looked at the girl who made me do the stupid act just now.
"I said he may not answer. But if he wanted to talk to you, it must have something to do with him being a Kitsune. Because he's smart enough to figure out most things on his own. Except about being a Kitsune because that's why you're here." The girl said.
Her logic made sense. What other things would he, whoever he is, ask me if not about being a kitsune? Drawing my own conclusions, I could come to the idea that he probably is trying to figure out how to use his powers as he's clearly using them right now or was using them to send messages.
Whatever it is he's doing is using his powers but I don't think he knows it. If he was competent in his skills and he had found a way to send messages there would be no limit to his power.
If he could send one message to one person, he should technically be able to send them to anyone else he wants to, but the fact that he's not able to by way of not responding could be he's just too inexperienced.
"I assume you're having trouble sending messages. But if you did it the first time you'll be able to do it again. Think of it as your power as a Kitsune channeling through something else. You're not physically handing people messages obviously. But the messages are getting to us. Your powers may be helping you break that physical barrier. It's probably going to take you a while, but since you've already done it once it shouldn't be too hard. Whatever you did the first time you sent a message do it again. But this time, I realize that it is your power that is making these messages transfer to us. There also could be..." I look at the girl.
"Did the messages he send go to family or childhood friend or best friend or something with a strong bond between them?" I asked.
The girl thought for a second,
"I guess you could consider Peter that way...actually, probably now that I think about it." She said, nodding.
I sighed, okay well that made sense.
I looked up to the sky again,
"Okay, since you sent the first letter to someone you're very close to it was probably instinctively done and not on purpose. There's probably a reason why you sent that person a letter but you may not be able to figure it out which is fine, but if you can channel whatever that feeling is that made you get into contact with that person you may be able to stimulate the process of it happening again. So whether you were feeling angry or sad or whatever other emotion that led up to you sending the message may be a clue into doing it again. Also it could have to do with the person you were sending the message to. Either way if you want to send more messages you have to get in touch with your inner fox, every Kitsune has a different way of doing this. Some people see a physical fox while others just talk to themselves in a way. Whichever one works for you, you'll have to figure it out on your own. But whenever you get into that state where you and the fox are one and the same, that's the prime time to start trying out your powers. This is difficult because I don't remember you at all nor do I remember what kind of fox you are but unless you're something totally out of left field it should be fundamentally work the same for every kitsune." I explained.
Some Kitsune's could have an easier time going through this if their type was stronger. However some would have a harder time doing this if their type was weaker.
Since I'm in Ocean Kitsune, my type is a little bit more fluid, has to do with the water aspect and everything but it gives me a lot more options and allows me to do things I may not do if I didn't have had a good imagination.
But I don't know what type he is.
It would be perfect if he was a light type or a dark type. Those two kinds can do things much more easier because they are stronger than most others.
There's a type that's even stronger but I wouldn't be teaching a Nogistune so that's out of the question, but they would have the easiest time.
Either way I can only teach up to a certain point. No matter how much I give theory or teach this kitsune a finding their inner Fox and putting their powers to use is something they have to accomplish on their own. So hopefully, my message to the sky went to the right place.
"Well that's that." I said, clapping my hands.
I look to the girl.
"Did I happen to bring anything with me?" I ask as I have nothing, but if I had planned to come here, I would've brought something.
"Uhhh yeah, I put it in my closet when I forgot why I had it, but I kept it. You can stay at mine if you need," She offered, and I was keen to take her up on it; I have nothing against Noshiko and her kid, but I realised that this place was more dangerous than I had imagined, I needed to screw my head on straight before I get attached to people here.
"Yeah sure. Thanks for dinner Noshiko, I'll talk with you later." I say briefly before heading out the door with the girl as we head to her place.
And maybe I can make her tell me more about what exactly is going on. As she seemed to have the answers I needed.
Klaus POV:
Elijah went about 5 hours after he came over with me. While he thought the situation was interesting, it wasn't interesting enough. I also felt like leaving. But I was curious about the Post-it notes.
I mean, the Post-it notes themselves are kind of old and look like they were a faded yellow color of what they once used to be. But the fact that they were messages from Stiles was rather interesting. Considering he was in California and he was doing this either telepathically or magically was cool.
What was even cooler, I guess, was the fact that he was currently captured by whatever it was, wild-something or another, and he still got these messages through that.
I guess he's not a hybrid for nothing.
I was hesitant to leave Peter alone. But the more I thought about why I felt hesitant, I started getting angry, and I just decided that I probably should leave. I don't need to dig into those types of feelings about family and packs and stuff that I don't need to think about.
Getting too close to people made it difficult because I have so many enemies, so it's better if I just deal with Elijah, and when Stiles comes back, they should all be easier to digest, especially since he'll remember everything then, presumably.
So I said goodbye to Peter and that I'd probably be too far away to come if he was calling this time. I had to go fish out a particular coffin for my brother.
And then I could go do whatever I wanted finally.
I have some werewolf business to take care of.

Notes:
Another chapter after this. Uhh, but I gotta see for the last one cause I have a sneaking suspicion I didn't finish it, lol.
