"I promise," He whispered, burying his head into my neck.

"The white wolf was exactly where you said it would be," Deaton spoke with my dad on the phone while Allison and Scott stood around him. I, however, was sitting quietly on the leather chair, spinning around in a circle while staring at the ceiling.

Dad was still being held in the Police station for the murder of Katashi. Apparently Katashi also had a prosthetic finger that contained valuable information.

"But we have two problems now. First, the lichen is not a cure. It'll wear off in a matter of days," Deaton continued.

"But while it does work, the Oni won't go after Stiles, right?" I heard dad say as he was on speaker.

"I hope. Eichen House has an unusual history. It might not be all that safe for the Oni there as well," Deaton explained. I kept spinning and spinning, head getting as dizzy as my thoughts.

"What's the second problem?" Dad sighed.

"I checked with your contacts in Japan.
The Yakuza Boss you saw killed by the Oni never found the scroll," Deaton replied.

"What scroll?" Dad asked confusedly.

"A Shugendo Scroll. The Shugendo were the ascetic mystics of Japan. The scroll had information on how to exorcise a Nogitsune," Deaton described. Scott leaned in while Allison was pacing forwards and back.

"So we need to find that scroll?" Dad question.

"Exactly. And I did get a name of the man who last purchased it. Kincaid.
He was with Katashi," Deaton responded.

"Well, I have to go now, think I have an idea which involves Derek," Dad said before hanging up.

"He's the guy who met with Isaac and I to buy the gun," Allison said, while looking at Scott and Deaton.

"Sounds like Katashi wanted the scroll for himself," I mumbled, looking at my nails as I was getting bored of this conversation.

"But Stilinski already told me nothing was found among his things," Scott said.

"And a paranoid person like Katashi would keep it close. Probably on him at all times," Deaton told us.

"What does a Shugendo Scroll look like?" Scott asked.

"Something like this," Deaton pulled out a small piece of paper. I rolled my eyes at where this was going and stood up.

"Are you guys serious right now? This is was this conversation led up to? Deaton pulling out a small piece of paper that looks like a gum wrapper?" I asked sarcastically.

"That small paper has all the information that can get your friend back to himself," Deaton told me calmly. I shook my head and laughed.

"So can we go find one instead of standing here, doing nothing?" I told all three of them.

"Are you okay Kayla?" Allison asked concernedly.

"Are you serious? Of course I'm not f*cking fine! Stiles is at some place that looks like it came straight out of American horror story and you's are all trying to find some Japanese paper!" I yelled getting frustrated.
