Skye's POV

I tossed around on my bed again still unable to get comfortable, I'd finally forgiven my dad and moved back home even if he was still talking about wanting to move to Miami and because I didn't have much a choice given that Derek was still in lock up at the Sheriff's station for some Katashi guys murder.

I tossed around again hitting my pillow in hopes it'll feel better but going from sleeping in Derek's arms to my old worn out mattress and pillows again it was taking it's toll on my sleep, I groaned rolling onto my back staring up at the ceiling but then I heard three taps against my bedroom window making me sit up and look over to it seeing Scott perched on my roof.

"Scott?" I jumped up and slid the window open.

"It's Stiles, he's checking himself into Eichen house" my eyes widened then quickly grabbed some jeans throwing them on then grabbed Derek's leather jacket that I'd taken from his loft so that I had his scent around me then pulled on a pair of sneakers and followed him out of my window jumping down to the ground then followed him over to his bike jumping on behind him.

We pulled up just as it looked like Stiles and his father we're about to go inside so we thankfully caught them before it was too late, I jumped off the bike and ran up to Stiles pulling him into a hug before stepping back and glaring at Stiles because this plan was idiotic.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Scott asked confusing me since he was the one who told me about Stiles' doing this so who the hell told him.

"Because we wanted to avoid something like this" Mr Stilinski replied.

"It's only 72 hours" Stiles added shaking his head.

"But this is the same place where Barrow came from, the guy who had a tumour inside him filled with flies" I cut in feeling like I was about to cry.

"You don't know everything yet" Scott added looking at the Sheriff.

"I know enough, Nogitsunes, Kitsunes, oni or whatever they're called"

"Wow that's actually all surprisingly correct" Stiles cut in and I shook my head at him because that wasn't really important whether his father said the right words.

"Scott, Skye I saw an MRI that looked exactly like my wife's and it terrifies me" I sighed playing with the ripped sleeve on Derek's jacket as I fought back my tears knowing very well how Stiles' mom had died and it terrified me to that Stiles might be dying the same way. "I'm headed down to LA tomorrow to talk with a specialist"

"Then why are you putting him in here?" Scott asked him.

"He's not" Stiles spoke up making us turn to him. "It was my decision"

"Stiles we can't help you if you're in here" I replied forcing back the tears that desperately wanted to fall.

"And I can't hurt you or you" Stiles replied looking at me then Scott, I'd heard about what happened at the animal clinic and frankly it scared me that Stiles had done that but I kept reminding myself that it wasn't Stiles.

"Deaton's got some ideas, Argent's calling people, we're gonna find something and if we can't…"

"If you can't" Stiles said cutting Scott off then stepped forward leaning into our faces. "If you can't then you guys have to do something for me okay, make sure I never get out" I frowned shaking my head as he stepped back the nodded at his dad.

"Come on" his dad nodded towards the gate.

"Stiles" I crashed into him again wrapping my arms around his neck. "Be safe okay" I leaned back and looked into his eyes. "Please" he nodded then quickly hugged me back before they finally disappeared inside leaving Scott and I standing outside helplessly watching our best friend disappear.

The next morning I was standing in Deaton's office at the animal clinic with Scott and Allison talking on the phone to her dad with Deaton trying to figure out some kind of plan that was gonna help Stiles.

"Did you have any trouble with Ikeda?"

"Only minor" Deaton replied to Argent's question as I sat in the corner. "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"

"But while it does work, the oni wont go after Stiles, right?" Argent asked him.

"I hope, Eichen house has an unusual history, it might not be all that safe for the oni there as well"

"What's the second problem?" Argent asked as I stood up and started pacing finding it hard to sit still these days.

"I checked with your contacts in Japan, the yakuza boss you saw killed by the oni never found the scroll"

"What scroll?" I asked confused as I stopped pacing and walked up to the desk to stand next to Scott.

"A Shugendo scroll, the Shugendo were the ascetic mystics of Japan" Deaton explained.

"The scroll had information on how to exorcise a nogitsune" Mr Argent added.

"So we need to find that scroll?" Scott asked them.

"Exactly" Deaton replied nodding at him. "And I did get a name of the man who last purchased it, Kincaid" I saw Allison look up.

"He was with Katashi, he's the guy who met with Isaac to buy the gun" she cut in talking towards the phone to her father.

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

"But Stilinski already told me nothing like it was found among his things" Argent replied making me frown. "And a paranoid like Katashi would keep it close, probably on him at all times"

"What's the Shugendo scroll look like?" Allison asked looking up at Deaton who went to a small draw behind him and pulled out an old looking scroll.

"Something like this" he replied handing it to her.

"Do these come in different sizes?"

"Any size" Deaton replied looking at her.

"Then I think I know where it might me, Katashi's silver finger" I raised an eyebrow but chose not to ask and sat back down listening to them work out a plan before I left them to it and walked out to my bike then hopped on and drove towards the Sheriff's station really feeling the need to see Derek.

I walked in and saw Deputy Parrish at the front desk, he looked up and sent me a smile so I did my best to smile back innocently as I leaned forward on the desk and battered my eyelashes at him.

"Hey Parrish, my dad in?"

"No sorry he's out on patrol did you need to see him about anything in particular" I frowned because I was hoping my dad would be here because he would have let me back to see Derek, guess I was going with plan 'B'.

"No I was actually just wondering if I could see Derek Hale?"

"Derek Hale, you know him?" I smiled.

"Uh yeah old family friend" he sighed then looked up into the main office.

"Be quick" I nodded smiling and gave him a dazzling smile as I quickly followed him back into the holding cells. "I can only give you five minutes" I nodded then walked through the door and saw Argent and Derek sitting back to back each in the respectful cells.

"So what are you boys in for?" I asked smiling and saw them look up, Argent surprised, Derek not so much since he probably heard me talking with Parrish, I walked up to Derek's cell and he stood up to stand against the bars.

"What are you doing here?" he asked me.

"I needed to see you" I laid my hand over his on the bars.

"How'd you get in here, they refused us visitors" Argent asked me so I turned to him.

"All these guys have known me since I was five and Parrish is easy to flirt with" Derek growled low in his throat making me laugh as Argent made himself as scarce as he could in a cell giving us a little privacy.

"Are you okay?" Derek asked me leaning his forehead against the bars.

"You're the one in a cell not me" I replied leaning my head against his.

"Skye" he warned quietly his voice barely above a whisper.

"I'm okay, a little tired since I miss my pillow but I'm okay" he smiled at the pillow comment.

"I miss you to" I squeezed his hand. "How is it back at your dads?"

"He's still trying to convince me that moving to Miami is the best thing for me but at the moment it's easy to convince him that right now Stiles is more important and getting him back to himself" he nodded then sighed. "I miss you so much"

"I know but hopefully this will all blow over soon and then you and me we'll go somewhere just us two" I smiled intrigued by that idea but I wasn't just going to take off leaving everyone else to help Stiles not when he's my best friend before any of them. "After we figure out how to help Stiles obviously"

"This is why I love you" I replied.

"Just this" I rolled my eyes.

"Okay maybe a million other things but your heart is what I love most" he smiled then pressed his lips to mine and we kissed slowly before we both parted hearing footsteps approaching the room and I knew my time was up.

"I love you Skye" I nodded stepping back after one final squeeze of his hand just as Parrish walked in.

"Times up Skye, Agent McCall will have my job if I give you any more" I nodded then left with him.

"I love you to Derek" I whispered just before the door closed knowing he'd hear me. "Thank you Deputy Parrish I'll owe you one, one day" he smiled and nodded so I walked back out and left heading home feeling a little better but until Derek was free I'd never truly be settled.

I stood with Scott and the twins the next morning outside Allison's apartment waiting as Scott knocked and listened to her walk toward the door inside before she opened it and let us in, I really didn't want to be apart of this but if it was going to help Stiles I was willing to do anything if it meant we could save him from this nogitsune.

"My father said all of the Katashi evidence is being moved to a federal lock up by armoured car tonight, probably within the next few hours" Allison explained as we followed her down the hallway towards her father's office where Lydia was standing in the doorway.

"We're gonna rob an armoured car?" Ethan asked her.

"Well we're going to try" Lydia replied with a small mischievous smile, I rolled my eyes because she reminded me a Stiles since this I'd be something he'd be totally down for if he was here and not locked up in a nut house on his own accord.

We moved into the office and the two girls started to explain then plan they'd already worked out together before we got here and I already knew I didn't like it as it didn't leave much room for error and that wasn't exactly our strong suit since nothing ever went the way we planned which is why we relied on Stiles to have the plan 'B' but we didn't have that this time.

"This is a really bad plan" I spoke up once they were done explaining.

"It's not that bad" Lydia replied being the optimistic one right now.

"It's not that good" Ethan added seconding my opinion.

"None of us knows the route they're going to take, if Allison can get one of her dads GPS trackers on the armoured car then we follow it"

"So when it gets here-" Allison added pointing to the Roosevelt Bridge.

"We attack them?" Aiden cut her off and I looked up at him with a small growl because we weren't attacking anybody especially innocent Deputy's.

"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…"

"We attack him" Aiden repeated.

"NO!" Lydia, Allison and I yelled at the same time.

"You'll distract him while Scott and Skye will break open the back door"

"We hope" Scott and I muttered at the same time.

"And you will get Katashi's finger" Lydia added looking up at Ethan.

"It's not his actual finger is it?" I rolled my eyes at Ethan's question.

"You are so out of our league" I replied shaking my head and seriously missed Stiles right now, sarcastic remarks and all.

"Why aren't we just going to Stilinski for help?' Ethan asked then turned to me. "Or your father?"

"Because if either of them got caught then it'd be the Sheriff and a Deputy tampering with federal evidence" I replied glaring up at him because I was not putting my dads job on the line or my best friends fathers, this was up to us and us alone.

"Guys this is going to work, we can do this" Allison cut in and I scoffed at her hope speech as the moment didn't really call for one especially from her. "We're losing Stiles, my dads in jail for murder-"

"And Derek in case you forgot" I remarked cutting her off and glared at her. "Or care" Scott looked up and sent me a look telling me to stop but Allison and I would never get back to be actual friends, not after she tried to kill Derek and nearly killed me in the process. "She's right though, we need to do this" I added sighing and looked around the room at everyone.

We all separated and went about preparing for what we needed to do, I headed to the Sheriff's station and staked it out from afar keeping an eye on any premature movement but so far there wasn't much action so I focused my hearing on inside and tried to separate the noises looking for the one I was seeking out and finally heard him.

Derek was pacing in his cell and I could tell he was alone which meant Argent was probably speaking with a lawyer or something and I really wanted to just sneak my way into the room but right now the armoured car was more important and by the looks of things it'd just arrived and they we're finally starting to load it up with the evidence so I called everyone and told them it was time and it didn't take long for Allison, Scott and…Kira to get here.

I raised my eyebrows in question towards Scott as to why he'd brought Kira into this since she wasn't one of us or even cared about Stiles and because her mother was the one trying to kill Stiles with the oni so how did we know she wasn't a spy, I kept my mouth shut though and bit my tongue because now was not time to voice these thoughts.

Allison was keeping an eye on the Deputy's loading the evidence into the armoured car through her scope attachment on her crossbow then she lowered it and turned to Kira.

"You're up" Kira nodded then ran towards the armoured car with amazing speed that must come from being a kitsune

We watched as she made it to the car and clipped it to the back then smiled smugly back towards us but then Deputy Parrish came out and she had to hide behind the van, Scott started panicking so I grabbed his arm to stop him in case he tried to run to her but then Parrish un-holstered his gun and started walking towards the back doors.

"We have to do something" Scott spoke up as Parrish was getting closer to discovering Kira but before we could even move a really big guy burst out from the back of the van and knocked out Parrish which pissed me off really because he was a pretty nice guy.

"Who the hell is that?" I asked glaring towards the hulk of a man.

"Kincaid" Allison replied and I growled because this guy threatened Isaac during that gun buying thing the Argent's took him on and that was enough for me to already hate the guy, we quickly stood up and walked towards the van as the guy found the metal prosthetic and held it up.

"We need that finger" Scott spoke up making him turn to us as Allison raised her crossbow at him.

"Why should I give it to you?" Kincaid asked us with a small smile.

"There's a briefcase in there with $150,000 in it" Allison replied.

"The scroll inside this prosthetic finger is worth three million" my eyes widened a little bit in shock but quickly hid it as I growled towards this guy because I wasn't leaving here without that scroll.

"Give me the finger" I growled at him and he raised his eyes at me making me realise how that could've been taken. "You know what I mean"

Kincaid looked at us without moving but then Kira leapt off the top of the van straight onto Kincaid's back but it didn't even faze him and he just flipped her onto the floor then his fangs extended and his eyes glowed blue which made me even angrier towards him as I knew what the meant and doubted it was the same story as Derek's.

I was the first to react, flipping out my claws and flashing him my own eyes and fangs before I charged towards him with a growl and got in two good punches that didn't even seem to hurt him before he pushed me back sending me flying through the air and land in a heap groaning in pain.

Allison shot off a few arrows but he dodged and caught them effortlessly then Kira tried to have a go but Kincaid deflected her attacks and grabbed her by the throat lifting her feet off the ground then he threw her to the side into the brick wall before knocking Allison aside to which finally seemed to push Scott into action.

He punched Kincaid in the face but again it was as if he was made of steel because he barely flinched even when Scott hit him in the gut before trying to punch him in the face again but Kincaid caught his arms then bent them down towards the ground breaking bones before headbutting Scott sending him stepping back before he tried again but again Kincaid easily dodged his attacks before kicking Scott to the ground.

I stood up and charged again but he saw me coming and grabbed my arm twisting it back and I felt the shoulder pop out of his socket for the second time within a matter of a week and I howled in pain before he threw me into the brick wall hitting my head and everything blurred as I reeled from the pain of my arm and head, Kincaid then went back towards Scott who was groaning in pain clutching his stomach.

"You have the eyes of an Alpha but where's the strength?" I growled as I tried pushing my body to heal.

"Up here!" we all heard and looked up seeing the twins on an old fire escape before they roared and jumped down starting to fight with him.

Lydia run up and helped Allison stand before grabbing my better arm and helped me up to lean against the hall as we watched the twins get the better on Kincaid finally bringing him down and for the first time I was thankful for the twins.

"Stop Ethan, Aiden" Scott spoke up looking up at the twins as they jumped down to where they'd just thrown Kincaid.

"Stop!" Lydia added running towards them and the twins stopped.

"You want him to come after us?" Aiden asked her pointing down at Kincaid.

"Scott we've seen guys like this, trust us he's dangerous" Ethan added backing up his brother.

"So are we" Scott replied shaking his head at them. "And he looks smart enough to remember that" Scott reached into Kincaid's jacket and grabbed the silver finger out of the pocket then shook the scroll out of it and it was so tiny it barely filled up Scott's palm, Scott then smiled at Allison "We're here to save a life not end one" the twins looked at each other and Kincaid looked shocked like he had never seen a werewolf resist killing another, Scott dropped the finger and it landed with a metallic clang.

I sighed in relief even if that went horribly wrong like just about everyone one of our plans but we had the scroll and quickly left the Sheriff's station to take it to Deaton for translation since it was in Japanese and none of us knew Japanese.

Just as we we're about to walk into the animal clinic my phone started ringing surprising me as I looked down and saw it was the Sheriff's station so I waved Scott forward then answered the call quickly.

"Hello?"

"Skye are you okay?" I heard Derek's voice and I sighed closing my eyes briefly comforted by his voice.

"Uh I am now, why?"

"I heard you outside and heard your roar of pain, what happened?"

"Long story short, tried to get the silver prosthetic finger, big werewolf showed up first, got into fight he dislocated my shoulder, the twins showed up and beat him, we got the finger and are now getting Deaton to translate" I explained as quickly and as best as I could and heard him growl at the dislocated shoulder part. "I'm okay now, I popped it back in and it's healing so don't worry about me, are you okay?" he sighed. "How are you calling me by the way?"

"Your dad" he replied and I laughed shaking my head. "And I'm okay I guess, still sick in tired of sitting in a cell falsely accused of murder yet again"

"I know, I've been trying to figure out a way of getting you exonerated again but so far that's been harder than I thought"

"I know Skye but you should focus on Stiles and getting him cured, I'll be fine and I'm sure this is all going to blow over soon as the evidence is gone now so I guess that means no case" I laughed a little.

"I got to go but I'll try and come see you again soon" I replied hating hanging up on him but I wanted to know what the scroll said. "I love you Derek"

"Love you to" he replied sighing and I knew he was just as frustrated as I was from being separated this long. "Be safe please"

"I will" I answered then hung up and headed inside quickly.

"…but it appears to say that one method of expelling a nogitsune is to change the body of the host" I heard Deaton say as I walked into the back exam room.

"Change the host?" Scott asked him confused.

"Which begs the question, how do we change Stiles' body?" I frowned knowing where he was going with this and didn't like it at all.

"By turning him into a werewolf" I replied stepping up beside Scott and shared a look with him because we both knew Stiles' choice on the matter and this is going to be harder than we thought because Stiles never wanted the bite and had already refused it once when Peter had offered it to him when he'd been Alpha.
