Kitsuné (Derek Hale Love Story)#4

Memories

"This will blind you for a while." I run the penlight over Stiles's eyes, checking his pupils. I grab ahold of his wrist to check his pulse. "You seem normal physically." Stiles then focuses his eyes at the door. "But I'm scared that I'm not really myself."

Scott helps Stiles downstairs where Noshiko Yukimura is waiting at the door. I see Kira rushing in, "Mom please stop." but it's too late. Two Oni's appear in the living room and quickly grab the back of Stiles's neck.

Their demon's eyes glow firefly yellow and then let go. The Oni vanish as Stiles falls to the ground, I quickly reach for his head before it hits the floor, The back of this ear is burned with the kanji for "self." Noshiko looks up at Scott, "It's too close to dawn now for the Oni to find the Nogitsune, they won't be active until tomorrow night."

After Kira and her mom left our house, I drove toward Chris's Apartment, to make sure he was alright. "What happend here?" Chris picks up the broken wooden pieces on the floor. "He wasn't himself Savannah..Derek's the type of person who keeps anything that's eating him inside...just like you." I reach down and picked up some books, trying to ignore Chris's responce.

"Someone's Here.." I whisper to Chris, I head to the front door. Derek. "..Hi..I didn't expect you to be here." I open the door wider, welcoming him inside. "Well after the little show you pulled off yesterday, I had to see how Chris was doing..You know..My family." I leave Derek in the middle of the foyer speechless, Chris comes out of the dark. "Why? You had the chance but didn't take it, you didn't shoot me."Chris looks back at the door where I left, "We're not enemies anymore. If the Nogitsune was able to pull off a stunt like this...having the werewolves go crazy then I will likely be coming for all of you."

Derek and I head out the door, awkward silence fills the air. I feel his fingers slip into my arm, he tugs be back, hard enough for me to bump agaisnt his chest. His hand stays on my arm, "So you heard..everything I said to Chris." I couldnt find the strength to speak, his eyes burned deep inside me, sending chills down my spine. I manage to throw some words out in the air. "I know I shouldn't be mad at you because you weren't yourself..But I'm mad that you couldn't find control." I broke his grasp, we stood their, in the cold January evening. Our breaths were insync with eachother, nothing broke our gaze. "I didn't mean to say that, I just hold-" I broke him off, "You hold alot of anger in you, but you just can't seem to tell anyone.." I bite my lip, "Because you can't trust." He took off his jacket and walked towards me, "You're freezing..You're scared." Tears wanted to come down my cheeks, but I held them back. Derek grabs both my arms, but I shake my head slowly, looking down at the ground. I feel his lips touch the top of my head, his chest is close enough for me to smell his colone. It's like a breath of fresh air, he guided me into his car and closed the door.

Derek wasn't paying attention, he was too distracted from something, I didn't want to lead into another conversation the could end in tears. I snap my head to the right, "Stop." Derek hits the breaks, 2 gun shots are heard. I see 2 figures running in the woods, following by 4 hunters, "The twins." I leap out of the car, and run, leaving Derek behind.

They run faster as the bullets began to ping off the rocks and trees around them. As I try to catch up to them, they both take several bullets and fall. Aiden hits his head to the ground, a hunter is running ahead of me, I get close enough to strike him with my claws. Ethan takes his fingers and takes a sample of the liquid coming off of Aidens wound, realizing that the bullets are laced with Wolfsbane. He gets pinned down by one of the hunters, I finally catch up to them and knock the hunter out, "Run!" Ethan and Derek manage to get Aiden up and run into another route.

We run into a river, and end in a cliff. "Where to now!" Ethan lets go of Aiden and sits him at one of the rocks, "I think we lost them." I reach to my shoulder and take out a bullet, ".aah" Derek looks at me with concern, "You okay?" I look up at him, he gazes at me then to my shoulder, "You heal quickly." I turn my head back to the front, I throw the bullet to the floor. I bend down and runs my finger down the stream of water, the cool rocks glide against my skin.

Ethan helps Aiden up as we continue to try to find shelter in the woods. Derek runs back to us, picks up Aiden and looks back. "Run! There's more coming!" bullet pass our heads and smash into the trees nearby. We run along the cliff, until we find a cave, "In there!" I point to the entrance. Derek lays Aiden inside while Ethan and I stay to cover, "Come on." We stay inside for minutes, I get a text from Scott. 'Get home NOW! We need you.' I look up at the boys, "Go..I'll keep them safe." I look at Derek one last time, until I run out of the cave.

I ran as fast as I could down the cliff, and into on-coming traffic. Didn't take me long to run down through some short cuts onto my street. Stiles, Scott and Meredith arrived just in time for me to catch up to them, "Hey!" I lean over tring to catch my breath, "What..happened?...why..did you call..me" I finally take one large breath of fresh air and lean back up. Meredith stands right in front of me, her eyes are wide, her pupils dialate. "What is she doing here?" Scott tries to catch me up with the situation but Stiles butts in. "We asked Jord- Deputy Parrish to help us get her out of Eichen House for a while, we told him that you would watch over her while we asked her a couple questions." I return my eyes back at Meredith, who is in aweof my presence. "You are beautiful than I imagined, Your hair is so brown...and your eyes!...wow." I give her a weak smile. "Let's get you inside." As we walk into the foyer, we come to find Agent McCall waiting with Isaac. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?" McCall speaks before Isaac can, "He had a free period at school and came to the home to study."

Agent McCall looks over to Meredith, "Who's the stranger?" We turn our eyes to Meredith, "This is Stiles, and his girlfriend." Meredith looks over at Stiles with a discussted look "He's not my type...He is." When we turn our eyes to Isaac, he was suprised by her responce.Isaac, Stiles, Scott and Meredith beat a hasty retreat to Scott's room while I remain below to talk McCall. "Great." I mumble.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." I cross my arms rubbing my shoulders, the thought of Derek from this evening fills my mind. "C'mon.." Agent McCall takes me to the indent on the floor, "During a drunken argument with your mom, I accidentally knocked You down the stairs. You had lost consciousness for 20 seconds and woke up with no memory of the incident...It was the last time I ever took a drink...That's when I left the next day." We stand there looking at the indent on the floor, I tried to force myself back to that day, but have no memory of it.

I start to grow impatient, after learning the truth. "Look..You see that crack on the mirror, I was playing to rough with Emma and my head hit it, I bled for a couples of seconds but then it stopped. Here is where I left throught the wooden floor be ause I jumped to hard, I fractured my ankle. And this broken corner is where Scott pushed me and my back broke it, I had to get 4 stitches. I healed. I don't need your apology." He wonder to the mirror and then back to the window, he doesn't look at me, but I still burn my eyes onto his suit. "I'll see you at graduation...or whenever you decide to show up again." And leave him standing in the middle of the living room.
