Scott figured out where the Nogitsune was keeping Lydia, so Isaac, Scott, and Stiles rode together. And my mother, brother, and I decided to tag along, so we followed them.

~Camp Oak Creek~

Everyone arrives at Oak Creek; Mom, Sam, and I meet up with everyone. "What are you guys doing here?" Scott asked.

"We weren't going to let you guys do this alone," I told him. He responded with a smile and he started giving us all a pep talk before going in.

"We've done this before, guys. A couple of weeks ago, we were standing around, just like this, and we saved Malia. Remember? That was a total stranger– this is Lydia."

"I'm here to save my best friend," Allison said readying her weapon.

Scott nodded, "I came to save mine."

"... I just didn't feel like doing any homework," Isaac admitted.

We all head in to be stopped by Noshiko and her pack of Oni.  "Kira, turn around and go home. Take your friends with you."

"I cant. When I looked at the game, I realized who I was playing– you."

Stiles and Scott take off and run into the compound, Scott hears Lydia's heartbeat. Allison aims an arrow at Noshiko, "Call them off." she ordered.

"You think you could take him alive? You think you can save him?" Noshiko asked.

"What if we can?" asked Kira.

"I tried something like it seventy years ago. Your friend is gone."

"Are you sure? Or what if Stiles doesn't have to die, maybe Rhys didn't have to die, either?" Kira tried to get her mother to understand.

"I see I'm no longer the Fox now, Kira– you are. But, the Nogitsune is still my demon to bury." The Oni behind her disappeared.

Noshiko opens up her hand moments later, the firefly that she was gripping disappears. She looked down in fear, "Mom? What is that? What does that mean?" Kira questioned.

My mom grabbed Sam and me, pushing us behind her. "It means there's been a change in ownership... Now, they belong to me."

A fight breaks out, Kira is fighting two Oni at once. Isaac and Sam slashed at the Oni that got closest to them. Allison fires her arrows but was no use because the Oni chop them out of the air. Mom was going crazy, but no matter how much she tried to kill them they kept coming. An Oni threw Isaac against a barrel.

"How do we stop them?" Isaac asked.

"You can't!" Noshiko yelled.

An Oni slices Isaac across the middle of his chest. I strode over, as the Oni was about to slice Isaac's head off. I grabbed the sword and the back of the Oni's neck, holding him in place long enough for Allison to shoot an arrow into his chest. The Oni dropped his sword, a green glow emitted from his mask, and the hole in his chest before he disappeared. The Nogitsune didn't look too happy. Allison and I shared a smile, but it didn't last long. Another Oni stabbed Allison through the stomach with its sword.
