After getting a quick rundown from Kira on how to embrace her inner 'fox-i-ness', Nokomis sent Liam a quick text asking if he could meet her at her locker. It took him a minute to reply, but once he finally did – she got up from the table and headed back into the school, a few words of encouragement being spoken from the others as she went.

Thankfully, she had beaten him there and had just enough time to check herself out in the mirror that she'd setup on the inside of her locker door. Sure she could have put on a bit more make-up this morning, but overall she felt that she looked pretty darn good.

Satisfied, she closed the door. Although she still wasn't okay with having to trick Liam, she knew it was the only chance that they had to keep him from hurting or even killing someone during his first full moon… which just so happened to be tonight.

"Nokomis, what's up?"

Looking to her immediate left, Nokomis smiled up and into the blue-eyes of Liam as he walked over to where she was and leaned up against the lockers beside her own. "Oh, I didn't realize that I had to have a reason to you?" Her voice soft and melodic, she rested a hand on her hip while the other twirled a lock of blonde hair.

This seemed to have surprised him, because he acted as if he were about to step back (in order to make sure he wasn't just seeing things) but quickly thought better of it and instead raised his brow in question – a slight smirk on his face. "Good point… wait-wait-wait, are you flirting with me?"

"And if I am?"

"Then I might be inclined to flirt back."

Unable to help the heat that rose in her cheeks, Nokomis had to look away before she turned as red as that one girls hair in her 4th period History class – but as it would seem, Liam had other plans.

Closing her eyes as his hands came in contact with either side of her face and created a fiery sensation that quickly spread throughout the area in which his thumbs softly caressed. "You're cute when you blush, but then again… you're beautiful regardless."

Okay, wow… this just complicated things.

Unable to fight back the rising feelings within herself any longer, Nokomis gave in to temptation and fell into Liam not even bothering to open her eyes and guide herself to the point of which she was most interested in – she knew he'd be there to catch her, and indeed he had.

Slipping her hands around his waist as their lips moved in sync (yes this was taking place in the middle of the hall… did either of them really care though – not really) the world began to fall away and it was basically just the two them. Well, until Mason had to interrupt that is. Hmm, was that a growl I just heard? She wondered, swearing that a rumbling sound had been forming within Liam's throat as they pulled apart.

"Umm, what exactly is going on here?" His question as Nokomis and Liam jumped back from each other, his face wearing that of joke-ish accusation – a smirk pulling at his lips.

Nokomis was far to flushed with rampant emotions to answer him, so after sharing a look with Liam who seemed to understand that words were not fixing to come from her he turned back to their friend and went about giving him an explanation… of sorts, "well you see, when two people like each other they sometimes express that b-" but Mason quickly cut him off however, obviously not interested in the intimate details which made Noko laugh – and then abruptly remember why she had meet with Liam in the first place.

"I guess I better be going, but before I do – would you like to come to a party with me tonight?" She nervously etched out the words, her fingers playing with the hem of her shirt as she bit her lip in anticipation for his answer. Once seeing him light up at the idea, she calmed herself.

"I'd love to!" He said while giving her a toothy grin. Oh my god, he is so cute.

"Great I'll text you the details, yeah?"

There was absolutely no way that this was going to work out where there was a positive ending for the two of them, but at least things wouldn't turn for the worst considering that the worst scenario had been by passed when Scott had hidden her from Liam's sight the night that he had kidnapped and duct taped him. But now there was the fact that she had admitted to herself that the she actually had feelings for him.

Making a note to herself that she needed to call Stiles when she got home in order to collaborate the perfect plan that caused the least amount of damage on her relationship with Liam (whatever kind of relationship that it was), Nokomis reached up on her tip-toes and gave the blue-eyed boy a kiss on the cheek before hurrying off – a sort of promise that she'd see him later.

"Thank you so much for driving us!" Nokomis gave her fellow kitsune and friend, Kira, a sweet smile as she tried hard to hide how anxious she was to the one whom sat beside her in the back seat of the Asian's car.

It wasn't because she was nervous about the upcoming 'party', she was actually pretty confident in what they'd all put together as their plan. No, she was absolutely panicked because this was her first date with Liam (or at least she counted it as a date… well, until the crazy stuff went down when they made to Lydia's lake house) and he was kind of holding her hand at the moment which increased the difficulty of keeping herself calm and trying not to generate sweat within her palm.

Noticing only a nod from Kira, Nokomis shifted her gaze to the window. They were currently traveling down the longest road ever with most eerie looking trees looming over them that she'd ever seen from all around. "You okay?" Liam asked, concern written on his face and in his voice. He must have took notice of her jumping leg.

"Yeah, I'm perfect. Just a little cold is all." She lied horribly, but he seemed to have bought it considering he let go of her hand and moved his arm to rest over her shoulders – pulling her into his side.

"How about now?" He asked.

"Th-this is good. I feel one-hundred percent better." She said as she awkwardly rest a head on top of his leg, unsure of where else to put it.

Surprised by his laughter, Noko turned her head up so she could give him a stern look which she was unable to hold for far too long before she was laughing along with him. He'd obviously known what was going on the whole time, only putting on a show in order to make her feel better… and it had worked.

Eyes meeting, she was just about to lean in for a kiss when all of a sudden he jerked away – his hands clamping tightly over his ears. "Can you turn the music down?" His voice sounded panged, but somehow Kira misheard him and turned the music up instead.

Heart just about ready to burst from her chest, she did the only thing that she thought would work in this situation. She put her lips to his neck and pretty much stayed like that for a good while until finally she felt his arms drop. With a soft sigh escaping from his mouth, she pulled away and gave him a wink – but still her heart beat wildly as they pulled up and parked in front of Lydia's lake house.

"Who'd you say was coming to this pary?" He asked her but she had no answer for him and instead looked to Kira who thankfully saved her by saying, "don't worry we're just early."

Climbing out of the car, Nokomis accepted Liam's out stretched hand and guided the two of them towards the door. Upon entering, she put on a face which greatly resembled Liam's own and turned back to look at Kira as she closed the door behind them. "Sorry?" She shrugged her shoulders apologetically.

Please let Stiles' plan work. She thought as she turned back to the group that had lined up in front of them, her arms wrapped around the one she'd been holding previously of Liam's with a tightened grip in order to express fear towards the situation they'd just entered.
