You know what? I don't know how you guys do it. You're all so strong. You're fearless. Hell, you even manage to keep your grades up!
...I'm failing Econ.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
I'm not... fearless. I'm terrified. [She starts to cry] I'm always terrified. I-I act like I know what I'm doing, but I don't. I don't know if Isaac is dying right now. I don't know if I made a mistake with Scott. I don't know what my dad is thinking. I don't know if we should trust Derek. I don't know... I don't know anything!
[She starts to sob, and Sheriff gives her a comforting hug]
[smiles] You know what's funny? You sound just like a cop.
The gunfire nearly killed me. I don't know how many bullets made their way into my body, but I fought every one of them. It left my body so weak, my heartbeat so slow, it appeared as though I was dead. But, even then, I was still better off than Rhys. His screams could be heard throughout Eichen House, echoing through every room, every hallway. He died in agony. The doctor, it seems, had also sold the morphine.
But, I could not die knowing they would get away. So, I called out to our ancestors for kitsune-tsuki-- possession by a fox spirit. For a powerful nogitsune, one that feeds off chaos, strife, and pain, to take control of my weakened body, imbue it with power, and use it as a weapon. But, calling on a trickster spirit is a dangerous thing. They can have a very dark sense of humor. Because, while the nogitsune did come to possess someone, it wasn't me.
Coup de foudre. The literal translation is "a bolt of lightning." In French, it can also mean, "love at first sight." But, a bolt of lightning happens to be exactly what we need right now.
For what?
Excising the nogitsune from Rhys' body shattered the katana. But, you can put it back together.
Why don't you just do it yourself?
Because I'm not a thunder kitsune. Do you trust me?
I just found out you're nine hundred years old. I don't think I'm ever gonna trust you again.
Trust me on this.
You see? It gives you balance. My power is yours, now, Kira. If the oni can't stop Stiles, you have to. The same as I did.
[to Noshiko and Ken about Stiles] There's a way to save him. There has to be.
I'll take it somewhere safe.
That's not what I'm worried about. History has not done well with making children into killers.
These children played their part in it long before we came back to Beacon Hills. I buried the jar deep within the roots of the Nemeton. It was their sacrifice that brought its power back. They let the demon out of its cage.
[whispers] Strife. [When nobody reacts, she speaks louder] Stop! Stop it! This is what he wants. This is exactly what he wants!
NSNogitsune/Stiles
Not exactly. I was kind of hoping Scott would be here. But, I'm glad you all have your guns out, because you're not here to kill me. You're here to protect me.
[The sun goes down, and four oni materialize in the loft. The pack moves in front of Stiles/Nogitsune]
NSNogitsune/Stiles
Why that kanji? Why "self?"
To signify that he died as himself. Because Rhys wasn't a monster. Not like you.
NSNogitsune/Stiles
If I'm such a monster, why'd you call off the oni? What happened to the woman who called out for chaos, strife, and pain to descend upon everyone and everything? What happened?
I don't want that anymore.
NSNogitsune/Stiles
I do.
[horrified] What have you done?
NSNogitsune/Stiles
Chaos has come again.
[The nogitsune's flies swarm out of his stab wounds and fly around Beacon Hills]
Were you really gonna pull the trigger on Stiles?
To be honest, I'm not sure.
...I'd check the firing pin.
[confused] You removed it? [Allison smiles] That's why women are the leaders in our family.
Back in his room, Stiles had a board with my name on one of the pieces. If this is a game to him, then I need to figure out the plays.
Not so easy to do when it's a game without rules.
[frowns] What does that mean?
You're dealing with the kind of spirit that's lived too long to play by human rules. It's a fox spirit that chose to become human. And supposedly, that's something that can do only after about a hundred years. If a kitsune is an annoying pain in the ass, then a nogitsune, which is a dark kitsune, is a freaking disaster. Besides, chess is Stiles' game. It's not the game of a Japanese fox.
NSNogitsune/Stiles
[to Scott] Oh, I hope he gets there in time. I like the twins. Short tempers, homicidal compulsions... they're a lot more fun than you bakemono trying to save the world every day.
NSNogitsune/Stiles
Really, Melissa? I shed one tear, that's all it takes? Come on. You can't crumble that easily. How are you going to hold up when Scott knows the truth?
[confused] What?
NSNogitsune/Stiles
When he finds out why his dad really left? You know he overheard it, right? [beat] You had no idea! You called Stilinski right after it happened. You didn't tell Scott, but you told the Sheriff. Hmmm. But, Stiles overheard it, like he hears everything. But, you want to know why he never told Scott? Because he knew Scott would never forgive you. He knew how much he would hate you.
[trying to hold back her fury] This isn't you, Stiles.
NSNogitsune/Stiles
[smirks] It is now!
