Disclaimer: As always, I own nothing but what you see here! Follow up to chapter 22.
Summary: Rafael's about to get those answers, answers he just may not be ready for!
After leaving the abandoned base, the group headed towards Scott's house where his mother, Ken Yukimura, the Sheriff, and the surprise inclusion of Malia Tate were waiting on them. Derek, the twins, and Peter were no where to be seen and Scott wasn't sure if they were inside or busy elsewhere. Though he really would have preferred if Peter was somewhere very far from his house! Malia had actually been pretty concerned over Stiles and helped Scott bring him to his room and lay him on the bed and watched as Scott placed a cover on him to help him stay warm. Lydia opted to remain in Scott's room with Stiles as she wasn't too sure of the Werecoyote's motives even if the girl had been showing some surprising concern for her friend. Scott then returned to the living room where his dad was pacing about back and forth while the Argents and Isaac stayed close together with him and Allison holding one another's hands tightly. Allison herself was still a bit shaken up by the fact she'd nearly been impaled by that Oni's sword and would have very well likely have been if it hadn't of been for Scott's dad! "How's my son?" Asked the Sheriff immediately once his second son for all intents and purposes was in the room.
The only reason he was currently there and not in the room with his son was cause he wanted to hear what was going on first before being with his boy. "He's… About as okay as he's gonna be until we can stop the Nogitsune. Lydia and Malia are up there with him now."
"And is there a plan on how to stop that thing yet?" Asked the man seconds later.
"As I've said, I do not believe there is a way to destroy something like the Nogitsune." Spoke up Noshiko.
Stiles' father just looked right her with a mild glare on his face that she met head on. "You don't know these kids then. If they can find a way, they will do it."
"I truly hope you are right Sheriff, I truly do. I only wish it could be me who ends it considering I am the one who brought him here many years ago."
Ken put a hand of comfort on his wife's shoulder and she squeezed it in appreciation. "We do know that if we change the host to something else, it'll stop the Nogitsune." Spoke up Scott and catching the annoyed scent from his dad.
Not that he particularly cared at that moment as there was more important things to be worried about. Isaac was about to ask about that whole thing when Rafael jumped in, tired of not knowing a damn thing! "Alright, enough! What the Hell is a Nogitsune? How the Hell could you have been involved with it over seventy years ago? And Scott, why are you and your friends even involved to begin with!? This is not something for kids to be dealing with damnit!"
That got him multiple looks of annoyance from everyone present. "We're involved cause we can handle this. Because we have the means to be able to." Answered his son even though it didn't really tell the older man a damn thing!
"A Nogitsune is a type of dark Kitsune or Fox if you prefer and is one of the Thirteen types of Kitsune. One who has forsaken the path of good for the way of evil and all that it entails. I am involved because I am the one who summoned it seventy years ago for vengeance upon those who hurt me and those I cared for. I for example am a Celestial Kitsune and because of my heritage I am the oldest in this room by nearly 900 years." Informed Noshiko in a no nonsense tone of voice.
Rafael had a very hard time believing a word of that and honestly thought the woman insane. "The kids aren't alone in this as they have us when they need us." Added Chris seconds later.
"Do you have any idea how insane that is!? Its practically against proper parenting!"
"Maybe, if my daughter didn't have the means necessary to defend herself. Your son, Isaac here, Kira, Stiles in his own way, and Lydia when she finally is able to learn control each have their own means of being able to defend theirselves. And when they can't do so, they have each other to rely on for help."
That got several nods of agreement from those present. "The black beings they fought against tonight are known as Oni, Oni that are now in the Nogitsune's control but thankfully we know of a way to defeat them." Continued Chris and Allison stepped forward.
"I made five silver arrow heads in total as part of my graduation to a full Hunter and I've already used one. The others will be used against the remaining Oni."
Ken let out a sigh and stepped forward. "I would like to offer my sincerest apologies for having allowed the Nogitsune the opportunity to be able to control them."
"Dad, that wasn't your fault! He forced you into telling!" Defended Kira adamently.
He smiled at her in appreciation. "I know sweetheart, but I still feel the need to apologize."
"Don't worry about it Mr. Yukimura, some times things happen that we just have no control over." Spoke up Scott firmly.
"If you are sure..."
"Well, you could always give all of us A plus' on our next big test if you really want to make it up to us."
"Nice try Scott." Responded the man with a grin that was met by Scott's own.
The man felt grateful that no one present was holding the incident over his head and he privately hoped his little girl held on to Scott for as long as possible for he is a good one! Kira was just happy that Scott had managed to get through to her dad and even manage to lighten up the mood in the way he had. The good mood was broken however when Rafael let out an agitated noise that got everyone looking his way. "None of you are taking this as seriously as you should! I still don't get how Stiles is able to be in two places at once so quickly!"
Scott just glared at his dad. "Well, not like all of us can be super important FBI big shots who take their job seriously now can we?" That bit of heavy handed sarcasm and scathing got him looks of surprise from everybody present as that was not really something he would even do!
"As for how my best friend is in two places, is cause the Nogitsune stole his look for his own when he escaped from Stiles' mind and body. Which would probably make him his own personal Joker or somethin' like that."
Everyone noticed how Scott looked oddly proud of himself for making that comparison. "This thing managed to even trick us into believing that Stiles had Frontotemporal Dementia when they were still in one body. Imagine what he could do now that he's got his own body." Spoke up Melissa worriedly and making Rafael frown as he was having a very hard time believing this.
"Mr. Lahey, did this… Nogitsune experiment on you? Is that why you were looking… Different during that fight?" If the kid said yes, it'd be just one more reason to drag the manipulative bastard in for questioning!
"Uhh no. That's not even closely related." Well, its Supernatural related but whatever.
"So if Stiles' twin didn't do it, then who did?"
"That'd be Derek Hale when he Bit me. A real life changing event for me that's for sure."
The fact Isaac said that so deadpan like had several in the room grinning in amusement. "I'm sorry… But what? Are you saying that Hale, Derek Hale did this to you with a bite!? Did he experiment on himself or something and decided to try and pass it on to you?"
Why the Hell was his son hanging around a man like that!? For that matter, why hadn't Stilinski arrested him!? Words needed to be had with quite a few people damnit! A low soft growl could be heard after that, making for everyone to look Scott's way who's eyes were glowing bright red and he looked quite annoyed. Making for Rafael to gape on in shock at the sight! "Dad, there was no experimenting alright? What happened was a completely natural thing and with consent on Isaac's part. It happened to me too, just you know, without the consent but Derek didn't do it but the person who did do it is no longer able too for reasons I'm not goin' into right now. But again, I repeat, there have been NO experiments."
Scott watched as his dad looked at him in stunned silence while completely missing Noshiko giving a nod of approval for how he had just taken control of things. "Now, if you don't mind. We need to start planning our next move."
"Next move!? What next move!? There is no next move son! As this is clearly something for the proper authorities to handle! And how in the absolute Hell can something like whatever it is you and Mr. Lahey are be natural!? As I've sure as Hell never heard of it happening!" Burst out the man after his boy's words had caused him to break free of his stunned silence.
"Well, Werewolves don't exactly tend to advertise what they are." Spoke up Allison.
Rafael just looked at the girl like she was crazy. "WE ARE the authorities on this kind of matter Agent McCall. So I would advise you to stay out of our way and let us handle this as we know what we are doing." Said Chris firmly before the man could say anything to his daughter.
"I trust them to handle everything and I will only get involved if needed. Same for Melissa. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and be with my son for awhile." Threw in Stilinski and made his way up the stairs quickly.
Unfortunately, Rafael wasn't about to be deterred from this and would argue with those still in the room. Making for some very loud voices to be heard as the arguing continued onward. Culminating in Scott eventually slamming his own father rather hard onto the floor with an angry look on his face as he yelled at his dad to stay the Hell out of the whole thing until they had it taken care of. Something that did NOT please the man at all but some fast talking on Melissa's part got him to grudgingly accept the fact it would be a bunch of kids dealing with something they shouldn't be dealing with at all. Of course she refused to give him any pain killers for his back since he'd been such an uncooperative ass until he'd gotten his ass handed to him by his own son. The man could only hope and pray that his kid and his friends could somehow pull this off as he did not want to come to regret it.
To also further keep him from getting involved, Scott made sure he had no way to make any phone calls or make use of email to try and get his fellow agents involved in the whole thing. Something that annoyed him a lot and for Isaac and Noshiko to smirk at him in amusement. Hell, Noshiko was even proud of the boy for thinking of that as it was a tactic even a trickster would like! Unfortunately for everyone involved, while they had finally been able to stop the Nogitsune and his Oni at the high school, something that confused Rafael as it was such an odd place to have a confrontation in. Aiden however had ended up in a coma due to a strike from an Oni's blade and only Scott's warning growl kept his dad from making any remarks about it. Though he certainly promised to speak on the subject once things weren't as tense!
