A Werewolf and a Human [2] Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 24: The Divine Move

++++++

Stiles was sitting with Kira in their home. He kept glancing every so often towards the door of Kira's bedroom where his girlfriend, Sabrina, was currently resting. She had not woken up yet, and he was deeply worried. Kira offered him to stay with them tonight and he immediately agreed. He wanted to be there for Sabrina when she wakes up. 

Noshiko then came into the room with a pot and mug. She then went and poured some contents from the pot into the mug and handed it to him. "Here, it'll calm you." 

"What is it?" Stiles mumbled as he half wondered if it was poison. "Tea," she told him. "What? Like magic tea?" She let a small smile loose. "No, chamomile tea. Drink it." Stiles sighed before he reached and took a small sip.

Kira's father then walked over to him. "He's not safe here." "He's not safe anywhere," Noshiko countered. "But Allison killed one of them," Kira pointed out. "Doesn't that mean something? She killed an Oni." "Is that even possible?" Mr. Yukimura asked his wife. "I'm not sure how." "But she did it. She killed one of them," Kira told them.

"Yeah, and then they killed her. Allison's dead," Stiles whispered.

"She's what?"

Mr. Yukimura, Noshiko, Kira and Stiles all looked up to see a week, looking, Sabrina, leaning against Kira's door. "Allison's dead?" she asked, her voice cracking. Stiles immediately stood up from his spot on the couch and engulfed her into a hug. Sabrina wrapped her arms around him and breathed in his scent. This was her Stiles. He was back.

Stiles pulled her closer to him and breathed in her familiar vanilla scent and knew she was back. He kissed her head before pulling away and looking into her teary eyes. "Allison is dead. I'm so sorry," his voice cracked. "Stiles, it wasn't your fault. It was the Nogistune." 

"She's right," Noshiko said, making Stiles and Sabrina look over at her. "He made a powerful move by splitting the two of you." 

"So what's our move?" Kira asked. Her father sighed. "At this point, you need a divine move." "What's a divine move?" Stiles asked. 

Noshiko looked up at her husband. "In the game of Go, it's what we call a truly inspired, or out-of-the-box move. The Nogistune has center the advantage, until this point. What you need is a divine move in order to turn the game around."

"Okay, so is anyone feeling divinely inspired?" Stiles then asked the room. Kira narrowed her eyes. "Mom, you said that you trapped it in a glass jar, right?" "It wasn't the jar that trapped it. It was where I buried it," she told her.

"The Nemeton," Sabrina realized. "A place I don't know too much about," Noshiko said to her. "Then who does?" asked Kira. Stiles knew. "Deaton. Deaton does."

Scott got off the  phone. He was at the Clinic with Lydia and Deaton. "Derek has the triskele box. He's going to meet us." 

Lydia then found herself feeling lightheaded and almost fainted but Scott quickly caught her. "What's wrong?" Deaton quickly asked her.

Lydia straightened herself up. "Something's happening. I had this sudden rushing feeling, like we're running out of time." 

"Yeah." The three of them turned to see that Stiles was there as he was being supported a bit by Kira and Sabrina. "Yeah, I kind of got that feeling, too." 

Lydia and Scott let out a gasp as they saw Sabrina by his side. Lydia did not hesitate as she ran toward Sabrina. Sabrina let go off Stiles and let out a shaky laugh as Lydia hugged her tightly. "I've missed you too, Lyds."
