Chapter Five: Releasing The Nogitsune
Nobody's Pov
Everyone waited for the screen to turn on so they could resume watching but nothing appeared.
Suddenly, Basilia appeared and everyone saw how tense she looked.
"Alright, what I'm going to show next takes place much later in the future. And this is something you all, mainly the ones that have lived in beacon hills, need to see because something is going to come. Something dangerous. And you all need to be ready" Basilia explained.
Her eyes then darted over to Chris Argent and Scott McCall and a small frown appeared on her face.
"Especially you two" Basilia finished.
With that she turned around and walked away, disappearing within seconds.
The ones from beacon hills all looked at each other, concern written all over their faces.
Kurt looked at his husband in concern and Stiles looked back at him with confusion and concern.
Eli, Alex and Claudia shared a look because they didn't know what was going to happen but they can already tell it's not going to be anything good.
"Do you guys know anything?" Liam asked, looking at the three teens that were from the future.
"No, nothing" Claudia shook her head.
Alex and Eli nodded in agreement. It's true, they really don't know anything.
If they did they would've told them but sadly they know nothing since they appeared here just like the rest of them.
The new directions and the warblers were confused and concerned. What did Basilia mean by that?
Burt, Carole, Rachel and Finn looked at each other before looking at the beacon hills gang in concern.
They knew it must have something to do with the supernatural, but what exactly was going to happen?
Nobody said anything and all eyes fell back onto the screen as it began to light up.
As the screen turns on the first thing we see is a symbol of some sort. A symbol that has three swirls on top.
The screen zooms out a bit and we see a jar and the top of it had the symbols that were previously seen.
The pack stiffened at the sight of the jar, knowing exactly what it was.
Kurt stiffened as well and looked at his friends and his husband in concern.
Of course he knew about not only the jar and what was inside of it but he knew about the whole supernatural.
Stiles never kept anything from him after they made it official. He didn't want him to be left in the dark and he was grateful for that.
The camera zooms out more and we see the back of a girl as she grabs another jar before turning around and walking to the counter. She places the jar down and slides a bowl of food towards an outstretched hand.
The person grabs the bowl and walks towards a table and sets it down in front of the person.
The camera moves over to the person that just so happens to be an older Liam Dunbar.
The beacon hills gang eyes widened at the sight of the young beta who now looked so much older.
"Woah! That's me" Liam gasped out with wide eyes.
"Looking good kiddo" Stiles grinned while ruffling his hair.
"Yeah, you look great" Kurt smiled at the boy while patting his shoulder.
Liam blushed at that but sent the married couple that he saw as parental figures a smile before turning back to the screen.
The women, the straight ones, were eyeing Liam up and down because they had to admit that he looked hot.
The warblers, the gay ones, were in the same boat as the women.
Liam said something in Japanese before turning to the girl that was behind the counter.
The girl sent him a smile and Liam smiled back at her and nodded his head.
Liam blushed at the girl. He had to admit that she really was pretty.
Stiles and Kurt noticed and they glanced at each other with knowing grins.
All of a sudden the front door to the restaurant opens and a man wearing a black hood is standing there as thunder is head in the background.
Liam turns to the man and almost immediately his stare hardens and he and the man begin a staring contest with each other.
"Talk about creepy" Santana spoke loudly.
Her wife along with their friends and the warblers nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, the ones from beacon hills were suspicious of the man and wondered who he was.
The staring contest was over when someone called out to Liam in Japanese and he walked away.
The man stepped inside the restaurant and this made all the customers stop what they were doing as they turned to look at him.
"Seems like they know something's up" Derek muttered.
The beacon hills gang simply nodded, too invested on what's going to happen.
The man stopped in front of the counter where the girl was at. He takes something out and places it on top of the counter, revealing a silver bullet.
The girl tenses as she side eyes the bullet but remains calm and continues what she was doing.
"When is a door not a door?" the man asked, his voice sounding rough.
The pack immediately tense at the riddle, the main one being Deaton, as they had a small feeling where this is going.
"Why does his voice sound familiar?" Stiles asked while turning to his best friend.
"I don't know" Scott replied with a frown on his face.
The man's voice sounded familiar but they can't quite tell who he could be.
The girl looked at him with a confused smile, "sorry?" she asked.
"When is a door not a door?" the man asked again but this time he sounded annoyed.
Liam glared at the man for disrespecting the pretty girl like that.
"Asshole" Blaine huffed while rolling his eyes.
"Takes one to know one" Kurt scoffed.
Blaine shot him a shocked look while Stiles and the twins tried to hold in their laughter.
Liam walks behind the counter, throwing the towel he was holding onto the counter, as he stood next to the girl.
"She doesn't understand" Liam told the man.
"Well, it's a riddle. I think she understands perfectly. So I'll ask one more time. When is a door not a door?" the man asked.
The pack along with the adults of beacon hills had a really bad feeling as to where this was going.
Kurt, along with Burt, Carole, Finn and Rachel looked at each other before looking at the others in concern.
"Seriously, why is this man talking about riddles?" Sebastian asked in confusion and annoyance.
"We don't know, meerkat. So just shut up and watch" Santana rolled her eyes.
While she might've forgive him and gotten over what he had done in the past, it doesn't mean she likes him.
"When it's ajar" the girl replied, slowly getting annoyed herself.
"Like one of those" the man said, gesturing behind them.
Liam and the girl turn around to look at the jars before turning back to the man.
"Oh please don't tell me" Melissa muttered under her breath in worry.
"The jar I'm looking for has a special symbol on it, a triskelion, three spirals connected" the man told them.
"We don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you should leave" the girl told him.
"Yeah, leave and never come back" Eli scoffed with a glare on his face.
He was getting a bad feeling about this man along with everyone else and all he wanted was for him to get lost.
"Oh. It's a very special jar, actually. It was made from the wood of a sacred tree and used to capture a dark Kitsune. A trickster spirit called Nogitsune" the man explained to them.
The pack tensed at that and glanced at each other in realization and concern.
Stiles gritted his teeth and clenched his fist at his sides as he fully remember that fucking spirit that possessed him and made him do awful things years ago.
Kurt wrapped his arm around his husband's waist and held him close, knowing how hard it was for him especially when it involves the nogitsune.
Alex and Claudia frowned and looked at their dad in concern.
Meanwhile, the new directions and the warblers were confused.
"What the hell is a kitsune?" Kitty asked in confusion.
"What the hell is a nogitsune?" Tina asked with furrowed eyebrows.
Neither of them received an answer.
"Well, all these jars contain are teas and spices" the girl told him.
"So whatever it is you came here looking for..." Liam trailed off.
"You know exactly what I came here looking for, Mr. Dunbar" the man told him in an aggressive tone.
"Why do I sense something is about to go down?" Alex asked his sister.
"Because it is, idiot" Claudia rolled her eyes, never taking her attention away from the screen.
She and her brother knew about the supernatural due to their parents tell them everything when they were old enough to understand.
And the fact that Eli's father is Derek Hale and that he himself is a werewolf.
But neither of them knew anything about the nogitstune.
It's something their dad refused to talk about, always changing the subject whenever one of them asked about it.
Liam and the man began their staring contest from a few minutes ago and clocks of guns could be heard.
The girl eyed the customers just as they all stood up from their chairs.
"You all do" the man said.
He took his gun out and fired along with everyone else.
Everyone jumped at the sudden attack as their eyes widened in surprised.
"What the hell?!" Quinn yelled as Puck held her protectively in his arms.
Claudia and Alex immediately held onto their parents and they held their kids close to them, never taking their eyes off the screen.
The girl rushed over to get the jar just as Liam roared, his eyes glowing gold and his fangs and claws coming out.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" screams were heard from the new directions as well as the warblers.
Hell, even Sebastian Smythe himself looked shocked and downright scared at what was being shown.
The beacon hills gang, along with Kurt, Burt, Carole, Finn and Rachel, flinched at the screams.
They completely forgot that nobody from Lima Ohio knew about the supernatural.
Santana jumped up from her seat and her attention was now on Liam as she extended her arm out in his direction.
"What the fuck was that?! What the fuck are you?!" Santana screamed.
And yes, fear was clearly evident in her tone.
Liam shifted uncomfortably in his seat and looked at the others, mainly Scott and Stiles, for help.
The two of them glanced at each other and sighed but before they could respond a loud shout was heard.
"ELI!"
Everyone turned around and saw Eli lying on the ground, unconscious, with Claudia kneeling next to him as she checked on him.
"What happened?!" Derek jumped to his feet almost instantly.
Braeden didn't waste time shooting up from her seat and rushing towards her son and, as gently as she could, gathered him into her arms.
"What happened? Is he ok?" Braeden asked in concern for her son's health.
Claudia didn't respond and simply stared at Eli with concern in her eyes, never letting go of his hand.
"What happened?" Derek firmly asked, glancing between the twins.
Alex, knowing that his sister won't reply, let out a sigh before turning towards the concerned father.
"To keep it simple, Eli has a fear of werewolves" Alex told him.
"How?! Sourwolf is literally his dad" Stiles asked in disbelief.
Derek glared at him while Kurt chuckled while shaking his head in amusement.
Claudia reluctantly looked away from Eli and looked at his parents.
"Eli only told me half the story. Apparently something happened when he was a kid and that's what caused him to be scared of werewolves" Claudia explained.
The parents of the teen Hale frowned in concern for their son.
But before any of them could speak someone beat them to it.
"Look, can we all please get a fucking explanation as to what the hell we just witnessed?!" Puck yelled.
Quinn nodded in agreement while clutching onto his arm, still in fear at what she and the others had seen.
By now all the new directions and the warblers were waiting for an explanation as to what they had just seen.
Especially since some were still in shock or in fear.
Almost instantly, all the packs heads snapped into the direction of Stiles and Scott.
Hell, even Derek and Peter were looking at them as they wanted those two to explain everything.
The two best friends sent them deadpan looks before looking at Kurt for some help.
Kurt sent them a cheeky grin before raising his hands in surrender, shaking his head as a way to say 'don't drag me into this'.
Stiles and Scott glanced at each other and sighed before turning to the others.
"Alright, so it started when I dragged Scott into the woods to see a dead body..." Stiles trailed off.
This was going to take a while.
An Hour Later
Silence filled the theater room once Stiles and Scott finished telling the others everything.
And by everything, I mean literally everything.
From beginning to all the way to the end.
The new directions and the warblers sat where they sat blinking in unison.
While Stiles, Scott, their pack and the adults of the beacon hills calmly waited for someone to react or ask something.
Finally, the one to snap out of it and break the silence was Kitty.
"So lets get this straight. Werewolves and other supernatural beings exist and that's what most of you are?" Kitty asked.
"Yep" was what was heard from the pack members.
"And the jar contains the nogistune that happens to be an evil spirit that you all sealed away years ago?" Brittany asked.
"Yes" Stiles sighed.
He only told them what they needed to know.
None of them, not even his kids, had to know that the nogitsune possessed him and made him do awful things.
"Wait" Blaine spoke up and all eyes were on him.
He turned his attention towards Kurt, Burt, Carole, Finn and Rachel.
"None of you look shocked. Does that mean you guys knew about this?" Blaine asked.
Now all eyes were on them.
Kurt let out a scoff before replying, "of course we did. For starters, I'm married to someone that's just as involved in the supernatural as the others".
Stiles chuckled slightly at that before wrapping his arm around his husband's shoulders and leaned in to kiss his temple.
"And since Kurt was informed, so were we. At least after Kurt was told he could tell us" Burt shrugged.
Finn and Rachel nodded.
They were a bit surprised that werewolves and other supernatural beings exist, Carole was in the same boat as them.
But after getting to know every single one of them they knew that they were good people and they weren't scared of them, not even when they transformed.
Besides, they had to admit that it was also pretty cool.
The new directions were shocked at this and because of it they weren't able to ask any questions.
Blaine, however, frowned and looked towards his ex-fiance.
"You knew and never told me. Why?" Blaine asked in confusion and sadness.
Kurt scoffed and, for the first time since he got here, managed to look at his ex-fiance in the eye.
"You and I were already broken up and I was already moving on with someone else. Someone better than you ever were" Kurt rolled his eyes.
Blaine opened his mouth to say something but someone beat him to it.
"And it was none of your business, helmet head" Alex rolled his eyes.
Stiles laughed loudly at that and soon Santana followed his lead.
Some of the new directions were laughing with them while the others tried to hold in their laughter.
Some of the warblers were shocked by what the boy said while a few others were laughing quietly.
They had to admit it was funny.
Blaine gaped at the boy but Alex simply huffed before hugging his papa close to him.
Kurt chuckled in amusement before wrapping his arms around his son, hugging him back, while leaning down to kiss his head.
"Oh, nice one buddy" Stiles grinned while ruffling his sons hair.
"Thanks, dad. You can thank auntie Tana for giving me some nicknames to call him" Alex grinned.
Santana beamed at that while Brittany laughed softly and shook her head.
Kurt rolled his eyes but didn't complain since he knew one way or another Santana was going to teach their kids what she knows.
Starting with nicknames.
Blaine, on the other hand, couldn't believe that that boy insulted him and what's worse was that Kurt didn't even defend him.
Braeden, with Derek's help, had sat her son back into her seat but kept her arms around him and held him protectively.
Once everyone calmed down and was filled in on the supernatural information, they resumed watching.
Liam leaps over the counter to attack the man to give the girl enough time to run with the jar to prevent him from getting it.
The camera changes to the girl running through the back door with the jar clutched tightly in her hands. She makes it outside and starts to get wet due to the rain but that doesn't stop her from running.
The man walks out the back with a gun in his hand and makes it outside.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry" Stiles muttered.
He wanted that girl to continue running. Whoever that man was he was going to release the nogitsune and he can't have that happening.
None of the pack wants the jar to be open.
The man aims his gun at her and pulls the trigger and he manages to hit her in the leg, causing the girl to fall to the ground with the jar dropping to the ground a few feet away from her.
Liam gritted his teeth at the sight of the girl getting hurt, a glare settled on his face.
"Damn, he's got good aim" Thad muttered.
"Shut up, not the time" Sebastian told him, never taking his eyes off the screen.
He'd never admit this out loud but he was curious to see everything play out, especially since lady hummel is basically apart of the supernatural life.
The man walks closer to the girl just as she turns her head to look at him and her eyes flash yellow.
"A kitsune?" Scott asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Most likely" Peter nodded.
The man continues to walk towards her with his gun aimed at her and ready to shoot.
But just before he could a loud yell of "Hikari!" is heard from behind him and he turns around to see Liam running towards him.
"Well at least we know her name" Braeden muttered, still holding her son close to her.
Derek nodded and spared his fiance and son a glance before turning back to the screen.
Liam roars at the man before leaping into the air, ready to pounce, but the man is quick and he aims his gun at him and shoots.
"LIAM!" Hikari screams as she watches him fall to the ground.
"LIAM!" the beacon hills gang scream in worry.
"Uncle Liam!" Alex and Claudia yelled in worry.
Scott growls lowly and his eyes begin to flash red at the sight of his beta getting hurt.
"Holy shit" the new directions and the warblers yelled in shock.
"When I find that piece of shit I swear to god" Kurt scowled angrily under his breath.
Liam was basically like a son to him ever since he and Stiles started dating and he introduced him to his friends, his pack.
And when he met Liam he started to think of him as like a son. He and Stiles saw him as their son.
Seeing him get hurt hurts him and he's going to find that bastard and make him pay.
The man nods before putting his gun away and turning towards the girl, whose name we now know is Hikari.
"No!" Liam yells as he tries to get up but failing.
"Get up you idiot" Liam muttered while glaring at his onscreen self.
He has to push past the pain and get up and stop the man from getting his hands on the jar.
"You don't know what you're doing!" Liam yelled.
"I've been searching for this for years. I know precisely what I'm doing" the man says without looking at the beta.
He walks past Hikari as the girl tries to get up herself but failing as well.
"You can't control it" Hikari told the man.
"Damn right. He nor nobody else can control it" Stiles nodded.
He would know better than anyone since he was the one to be possessed by the stupid spirit.
"I don't want to" the man told her as he walks closer to the box.
The box moves by itself and stands straight. The man crouches in front of it and grabs the box.
"Set me free" a voice from inside the box demanded.
"Did that box just talk?" Sam asked with wide eyes.
"Yes it did" Mercedes muttered, her eyes wide and her jaw open.
They were still trying to wrap their heads around the whole supernatural stuff and now they were trying to wrap their heads around a talking jar.
"Not until you make me a promise" the man said.
"What fool would ask a promise from a trickster spirit?" the voice asked.
"Call it a mutually beneficial arrangement. If you're as all powerful and omniscient as they say. Then you already know what I want" the man tells him.
"You want retribution against him, his friends, and everyone he loves" the voice said.
Scott's eyes widened in realization. The man is after him and his pack.
"Are you kidding me right now?!" Scott yelled out in anger.
The pack look at him and soon their eyes widen in realization, fear and anger.
"Wait but who is that freaking man and why does he want you to suffer?" Kitty asked in confusion.
"I don't know. I've made tons of enemies in the past but most of them are gone" Scott sighed while running his hand through his hair.
"We all have" Derek muttered.
Peter nodded along with the rest of the adults of beacon hills.
"Set me free and we'll play a new game, a game of chaos, strife, and pain!" the voice yelled evilly.
The man slowly stands up from the ground and nods his head before taking the top off of the jar.
"NO!" the beacon hills gang screamed with wide eyes in shock and fear.
"Oh god, this is bad" Noah muttered under his breath.
Everyone jumped when a loud noise was heard and turned around to see Stiles glaring at the screen.
They look down and see a broken lamp, where did that even come from, scattered all over the ground.
They look up and flinched back at the sight in front of them and that just so happened to be the sight of an enraged Stiles.
"That fucking idiot! Does he not realize what he's just done?!" Stiles yelled in utter rage.
Who the hell does that idiot think he is? What does he want?
Who is that idiot? And why the hell did he release the spirit in the first place?
Alex and Claudia gulped. Their dad was scary when he was angry, not as scary as their papa but very close to his level.
"Stiles, calm down!" Kurt yelled as he stood up and walked over to his husband.
He placed his hands gently onto his husbands shoulders and began to rub them in an attempt to calm him down.
Even though he himself was enraged at the idiot for releasing the spirit he has to remain calm and help his husband.
"Kurt, that-" Stiles started but was cut off.
"I understand you're angry. Believe me, I am too. But you have to remember that none of this has happened and it won't. Not if we have anything to say about it" Kurt reminded him.
Stiles felt a presence behind him and turned around to see Scott.
"He's right, buddy. As soon as we get out of here we're going to find that man one way or another and stop him from getting the jar" Scott sternly said.
He looked towards the other members of his pack and they all nodded in agreement.
They weren't going to let the nogitsune get free. Not on their watch.
Stiles said nothing as he pressed his lips together before slowly nodding his head, feeling himself calm down slightly.
He sat back down in his seat and Kurt did the same thing, wrapping his arms around his husband and leaning in to kiss his temple.
Blaine watched everything with a glare before rolling his eyes and looking away.
Lydia frowned and looked away from the scene.
She should've been the one to calm Stiles down. Something she had always done in the past.
But now the one to calm him is his husband. That's Kurt's job now, not hers.
The man looks up just as the firefly flies out of the jar and up into the sky.
Liam and Hikari look defeated knowing that they have failed and now the spirit was released and who knows what it was planning on doing.
The screen turns black and everyone releases breaths they didn't know they were holding.
"Well shit" Mike muttered under his breath.
"Shit indeed" Santana nodded in agreement.
The pack said nothing as they were simply filled with suspicion, anger and fear.
Alex and Claudia hugged their parents close and let small smiles appear on their faces when they hugged them back.
Braeden felt movement in her arms and looked down and saw Eli beginning to wake up as his eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Oh, thank god" Braeden sighed in relief.
She leaned down to kiss her sons forehead just as Eli's vision cleared up and the first thing he saw was his mom's beautiful face.
"Hey mom" Eli managed to say.
"Hey, sweetie. God, you scared me" Braeden told him.
"Sorry" Eli chuckled softly.
Braeden helped him sit up and Derek passed his fiance a bottle of water who then handed it to their son.
Eli took small sips from the water bottle before closing it once he was done.
Eli let out a hum before looking at his parents, "so did I miss anything?" he asked in curiosity.
The engaged couple looked at each other before looking back at their son.
"Alot" they said in unison.
And it wasn't a lie. Their son missed alot while he was passed out.
