Chapter VI

Tenko stayed true to his promise. When Scott touched the field at practice, Tenko brought him nothing but pain.

On Saturday, the game came and went like a breeze. But it was a good day for Tenko. He had caught a stalker and Derek was released from jail.

" She was stalking you? What did she say when you caught her?" Derek asked as he handed a straw to Tenko for his soda.

"She wants to help find the Alpha," Tenko replied.

"But she tried to kill you." Derek Protested.

"She was distraught and.. certain things have happened. I think I should start building my pack. And every real pack has a druid emissary." Tenko explained.

"I thought you said she was a Darach?"

"No, keep up. I thought she was a Darach. But she doesn't have a second face."

"Second face?" Derek questioned.

"You don't know shit, do you? Darachs are corrupted by the magic they wield. It transforms them, but glamour magic keeps them pretty." Explained Tenko.

Derek bit into his burger. "Hmm. Well, Druids know all kinds of tricks, How long did it take you to sniff her out?" he spoke with his mouthful.

"I didn't. I heard her in the woods. One of those tricks can remove her scent. But she offered some...advice and I think it was pretty sound advice."

"What did she advise you on?" Derek asked.

"None of your business. It's a potential pack matter. What are you going to do about the teen wolf and finding the other's if there are any?"

"I think the Alpha is about to make a move. Scott's been doing a lot nighttime shifting. The Alpha's pull is getting stronger. "

"Then you stay on him. When the Alpha pops his head up, we nail him. "

Derek smiled and put his soda up and they drank in agreement.

___________________________________________________________________

"Hello?" Tenko answered his phone.

"No, I'm not at school. What's up?" Tenko replied.

Tenko frowned. "Alright. Stay put. Scott will probably be looking for you. He and I really don't mesh. "

"How do you know he will come looking for me?" Derek asked.

"Got a hunch." Tenko ended the call and got dressed.

____________________________________________________________

Before Tenko pulled up to the school. He called Mareth to rush to the hospital. Derek had told him about the attack on the bus driver. He had to fight him off to keep him from killing Scott last night.

Tenko figured, If Mareth wanted to help, she could handle the questioning before the bus driver succumbed to his wounds.

Tenko was now walking through the Cafeteria when he spotted Scott sitting at the lunch table with a whole host of friends. When he got to the table he looked over at Lydia for a moment before turning to Scott.

"Scott. We need to talk," he said.

Scott stared at him and then at Stiles.

"Stiles has nothing to do with this. Come on." Tenko then walked away.

Scott followed a few moments later and Jackson mugged them as they left.

"Well, I think I've just lost my appetite," said Lydia.

Allison was also at the table. She looked at Lydia but decided to ask Stiles. "Who is that? He's on the Lacrosse team, you should know him?"

Stiles simply replied, "Trouble." before stuffing food in his mouth.

Allison looked a little annoyed with the lack of answers. She was aware of who Tenko is, she just didn't know Tenko like she knew Stiles or Lydia. She felt odd that she didn't know the one guy that all three of her new friends seemed to know.

Jackson noticed the look on Allison's face and got a quick idea to stir up trouble. "Tenko Nakashige. And he is trouble. The first day here, he meets a group of girls and starts up with them. But only Aria Fuentez was his girlfriend, she just didn't mind sharing her boyfriend with her best friends. They were all quiet, innocent girls before Tenko showed up."

Lydia scuffed without thinking. "They weren't innocent. Especially, Aria."

Jackson's jaw flexed, he thought of Lydia's input as a defense for Tenko.

"The point is, all the girls end up dying a week later..."

"Sam Whitaker didn't die. She's safe at Eichen house, recovering. She witnessed a brutal animal attack." Lydia spoke again.

This time everyone at the table felt a little uncomfortable and avoided eye contact. But Stiles smirked as he remembers Lydia and Tenko in the locker room.

Jackson continued. "But his mom, of all people, finds a catanotic--"

"Catatonic" Lydia corrected him.

"A catatonic, Sam. Lacy and Aria were torn to shreds. Then I hear that he was with Derek Hale when the guy was arrested for his sister's murder. And immediately afterward, his car explodes and he pops up out of nowhere as if nothing happened. The guy isn't right. And if McCall is with him, McCall isn't right either."

"As I said, I've lost my appetite. I should probably go finish my assignment, my new Latin partner is rather, unimpressive." Lydia then left the table.

Allison became even more suspicious when Jackson mention Derek Hale. She also began to think that Scott was being straight with her about certain things. But for now, she got up and went after Lydia.

______________________________________

In the hallway, Tenko asked one question. "What were you doing last night?"

Scott tensed at the question. "I was at home sleeping."

"You sure that's all you did?" he asked.

Scott opened his mouth but said nothing. his brow then furrowed and he looked at Tenko nervously. "I don't...I don't remember."

Tenko nodded and replied with a smirk. "Then maybe you should start asking for help. What happened at the game can't happen again. I don't like you, but, You don't need to die young. Go see Derek."

"Derek? I sent him to jail and you... beat me up" he whispered the end of his sentence. "Imagine what Derek would do to me?"

"Derek has a soft heart like most of us. I'm just impulsive and have I had a rougher up bringer. Go talk to the man. Oh, and turn your phone's GPS on. Just in case you decide to sleepwalk tonight."

______________________________________

"Lydia! Wait!" Allison reached out and stopped the Strawberry blonde.

"Talk to me. What's going on with you?" Allison asked.

"Nothing. I'm fantastic, as always. You seem to be the one with a lot on your chest." Lydia changed the subject from her.

"No. You have problems. You and Jackson don't but heads in public. You overhaul your class schedule. And we both know you finished Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday's assignments this weekend. " said Allison.

"Well, aren't you observant. But if you must know. I've had a lot on my mind recently. A lot of new experiences and I'm just working through it."

Allison pursed her lips and sighed. "Well if you need to talk, we're friends arent we?"

Lydia smiled. "Yes, we are friends. Now I have to go be somewhere else, where 'he' isn't." Lydia gestured to in Tenko's and Scott's direction.

Allison looked at Tenko and Scott quietly speak and then turned to see that Lydia was already walking away. And like that Lydia had become another person that she felt was hiding things from her.

Mareth knocked on Tenko's door and Mrs. Mason answered.

"Another one?" she sighed. "Tenko! It's for You!"

Tenko went to the door and saw Mareth waiting in a red lace trim skirt and a blacktop.

"Not exactly a dress, but close enough right?" Mareth asked.

Mrs.Mason raised an eyebrow then turned around and took another look at Mareth. "How old are you again?" she asked.

Mareth didn't miss a beat and replied, "19 years old, 2 weeks ago"

"Hmm. The one's you age don't cut it anymore?" She asked her son.

Tenko shrugged and Mrs. Mason just walked back to the kitchen.

"Come on, we can talk up the stairs."

a few moments later.

"So what did you find out?" Tenko asked.

Mareth looked around Tenko's room. Looking at the Japanese paintings on the wall. "You collect paintings?"

"No, I painted them. It helps to learn new skills," he said. "Now tell me what's up."

"Talented. So, does a pretty nurse sound familiar?"

"Huh?"

"The bus driver said, a pretty nurse took him on a date and he woke up on the bus. Then men with glowing eyes attacked him."

"Did he say where the date was?" Tenko asked.

Mareth smiled at him, "How is your little coyote doing?" she asked.

Tenko squinted. "Fine,"

"Well, you know mating season only lasts until February. so today's the 25th. you better get on it." she said.

"I appreciate your concern. Now about that date?"

"Little Ireland..."

"Then we can find her. "

"But you need a pack. Get the coyote, Tenko. I'll find the nurse. And here's the hunter dossier you requested. " Mareth tossed a manila folder on the bed.

"Alright, while you hunt the nurse, I'll pay our local poachers a visit. " Tenko picked up the folder and frowned when he opened it.

"Two people?" he asked.

"That's all you know need. Trust me," she replied.

______________________________________

Tenko showed Mareth out and went to get dressed for his night raid. He wore all black combat pants, a long sleeve black shirt, and an all-black flack jacket with a mask that covered half of his face.

"When you remind me of him more and more, every day. Should I get dressed too?" his mother asked.

"No. I can do this by myself. I should be back by the morning. " Tenko replied as he put his ninjatos on his back.

Mrs.Mason inhaled sharply and pursed her lips. "Right. Be safe," she said.

_________________________________

Tenko lept from his window. The woods were the best way to cut through Beacon hills and avoid detection. When Tenko made it to the main street. He stood across from a nice two-story house with two cars parked in the driveway.

Tenko kept to his usual method of operation. He started by flattening the tires on the vehicle and the shorting the car battery.

With a bigger surge, Tenko killed the power in the house. And broke in. The first target in his mind wasn't a hunter, but the hunter's daughter. But as such, she could still be dangerous.

Tenko crept into her room and snatched her from the bed. He moved to the next room and then another making sure they were all clear. His last stop was the master bedroom. But when he got there, the bed was empty. Tenko listened to the house and the surrounding area. All he could hear was the breathing of the hunter's daughter struggling to get free.

Tenko walked back into the girl's room and knocked her out. When she woke up thirty minutes later she found herself naked, tied up, and gagged. Her arms were tied in a Tengu Shibari and her legs were individually frog-tied.

She began to panic and fought against the ties that bound her. She whimpered through the gag and Tenko watched silently in the dark corner of the room. At first, she fought hard, but the way the Tengu Shibari tie gripped and pulled at her nipples affected her in erotic ways.

She began to sit still and just whimper. Still, Tenko sat quietly in the dark. He left her alone with her thoughts. His mother taught him that people would break themselves once they discovered resistance was pointless. When escape was no longer an option, a person would brake themselves and they would become three types of people. The pleaser, the traitor, and the kamikaze.

The Kamikaze was a Japanese special unit that initiated suicide attacks against the enemy. People who become the Kamikaze, attack with the hope of being killed or finding a way to kill themselves to protect crucial information.

The Traitor, a person who betrays their friends, family, lover, country, and so on. This person will tell everything, including lies, to save their lives. They are cunning and quick-witted, but mostly cowards.

And finally, The Pleaser. This type will express low inhibition and a lack of self-respect. The level of their confidence is what the captor allows. Like the traitor, the pleaser has a thirst for life. But unlike the traitor, the pleaser just wants to live and is willing to give up everything to their captors. Lies and schemes displease the captor, so they tend to stay with the truth and stay docile as to not send the wrong message to their captors. This type could be the precursor to Stockholm Syndrome. Every interrogator's wet dream.

One then two hours passed. And the hunter that Tenko was waiting didn't show. So he decided to work with what he had. A potential pleaser and a house full of information.

"Hojojutsu. The art of binding a prisoner with rope." Tenko spoke softly but the girl snapped to attention and became fidgety as she tried to look around.

"Kinbaku. The kinky bondage shit you watch on your favorite site comes from this art. I was going to just tie you up and use you as leverage. But my informant is so good, she followed you as well. She learned of all your likes and dislikes and she did the same for your father. So I've decided to use all of the research that she worked so hard to get."

The girl began to whimper again.

"Stop whining. It won't help. You're naked and tied up all pretty because it's what you like. But the reason I did the stripping and tying against your will is that your father took the wrong job. Anisa, right?"

The girl nodded her head as she cried.

"That's a pretty name. Anisa, do you know what your father does for a living?"

Anisa nodded her head again.

"Yeah, dangerous job. Are you getting into the family business? Is that why after three years, you finally decided to leave your mother and stay with your dad?"

Anisa stiffens before nodding her head again.

"Well since your neglectful, no-good father, decide to stay out all night. You have to take his place. Pay for his deeds. Do you know how this ends, Anisa?"

Anisa became distraught and cried harder.

"Answer my question, Anisa."

Anisa nodded.

"But you can change the ending. Take a moment to think, while I take a walk." Tenko got up and left the room.

He heard her cries for a while after he left. Besides, Chris Argent, this was the only hunter with family in Beacon hills. Mareth had only researched him, Phil Harty. Phil was targeted because he would brake for his daughter, at least that was the assumption. While Anisa had the makings of a Pleaser, Phil had the makings of a Traitor. While Chirs and his wife were definitely Kamikazes.

Tenko searched Phil's study and besides his personal bestiary, that Tenko pocketed. There was no information of use. Suddenly the front door opened and Tenko smiled. He calmed shut the door to Phil's study and walked back to Anisa's room.

When he got there, Tenko whispered to Anisa, "Be loud. Call for daddy. he just got home."

Tenko removed her gage and she began to scream. Tenko could hear Phil's heart racing as he ran upstairs and kicked the door in. As soon as Phil's pistol crossed the threshold, Tenko disarmed him and whacked him across the face.

"Get up, Phil. We need to talk." Tenko ordered.

A moment later, Phil sat in a chair next to his daughter's bed. The lights were finally on and Phil could see his little girl in all her glory. It tore him up on the inside to see her in such a position.

"Hey. Focus Phil. This can end with one death -yours or Anisa's, you can both die, or you can both live. 1, 2, or 3?"

"O-option three," said Phil.

"Good. Tell me why you're here in Beacon Hills. And start by telling me who issued this contract. If I think you're lying, your daughter and I are getting acquainted. And Anisa, every time you call out your father's bluff, I'll undo one knot and in the end, you can go free. Now let's begin..."

Like Tenko guessed from Mareth's file. Phil was a Traitor. And traitors lie. and every time he lied, Tenko heard it. He ripped a cord from the lamp and he whipped, Anisa. And then he used the toys that she had in her room and the two of them became very close.

Phil was now red and all of his tears were spent. Anisa sat on her wet sheets, tender and panting, bound in loosened but restrictive ropes. She didn't know much but she told what she knew after the first few deceits from Phil were detected. Anisa and Tenko got acquainted, on the third lie, Anisa sang like a canary. She became the pleaser to win her freedom.

"Phil. You eventually told me the truth, but it's almost 4am. But you're still holding back. I know your daughter enjoys it. But how much more can she really take? Are you that loyal to the Argents?"

Phil bit his tongue and didn't reply.

"I think your hiding something. So I'm going to turn up the heat." Tenko pulled out a few senbos from his flack jacket pouch and prodded Phil.

Tenko's hand's sparked and he could smell the fear permeating from Phil.

"He's not going to tell you" Anisa spoke from the bed.

"Oh, somebody's awake. Are you ready for more? " He asked.

"I- I can't. I'm at my limit. Any more and I'll lose my mind." Anisa responded.

"Then hopefully, your father starts to think with you in mind. So, Why won't he tell me, love?"

"It's Gerard... Argent. Dad butts heads with everyone, he's an asshole, it's why mom divorced him. But do you know who he doesn't talk shit too?"

"Gerard Argent" Tenko answered and looked at Phil who was staring at his daughter.

"Don't look at her, look at me, Phil. Tell me what your hiding or I'll light your ass up and sell your daughter to the triads in San Francisco."

Phil's heart literally skipped a beat. "He'll kill us both," Phil whined.

"He doesn't have to know. But I want the information. And if you ever need help, hang a red towel on the front porch. Now work with me or you're going to find out what it's like to get hit with a bolt of lightning and fry from the inside out."

"Kill the wolves, Capture the Alpha no matter what. When Kate Argent gets to town, we take orders from her. If Chris tries to stop us, we have kill orders. After the capture of the Alpha, we send the code up the wire and Gerard is waiting with the rest of the Argent Group. He wants to take over Beacon Hills."

"Well, I'll be damned. Well. You're free to go" Tenko moved and cut Anisa free. "This our secret now, Phil. A colleague of mine will be dropping by. She's going to give you some information and in exchange, I want a list of every hunter in town, Active or not. And I want addresses. I don't care how you do it, just get it done. And Anisa. You be good."

Tenko left the house and vanished into the woods. The Father and daughter pair would never be the same after that. But Tenko didn't give a shit. It was a war.

__________________________________________________________________

"You smell like pussy," Said Mareth with a smile.

"Yeah, gotta have fun with the interrogation. And sometimes the fox likes the fucked up shit." Tenko chuckled.

"So, what did you find out?"

"Pssh, jack shit about the alpha. They don't know who it is, either. They also suspect that Alpha killed Laura to become an Alpha. But here's the thing, The picture of the dear with Vendetta spiral, popped up on the Argent radar a few weeks before Laura came to town. At that time the werewolf activity in this town was nonexistent since the Hale pack was decimated. We need Laura's stuff to find out who sent that photo. But I also got information on safe houses, armories, secure networks, And that Kate Argent is coming to town." Tenko replied.

"What the fuck did you do to him?" Mareth asked.

"I can't take all the credit, his daughter helped a lot. But we protect them from now on. I gave them my word and I keep my word. So until this Alpha business is done, we keep an eye on the house. A red towel on the porch means distress."

"You flipped them. I thought you'd kill them."

"No. And right now, the only family bond between those two is the daughter's birth certificate. Even blood won't be acknowledged. I won't be surprised if she runs back to Arizona for her mother."

Mareth looked a bit skeptical. "Next time, I'm tagging along."

"Haa by all means. So, what did they say at the bar? " Tenko asked.

Mareth bit her lip and looked to the ceiling. Her eyes then fell to Tenko before leaving her chair to straddle his lap. She then cupped his face and Flashes of a red-haired white woman was injected into his mind.

Tenko exhaled heavily and looked at Mareth with wide eyes of shock.

"Can you draw her?" she asked.

Tenko nodded and said, "Yeah"

"Then Let's get to it. You have school and a Coyote to tend to," said Mareth.

Mareth tried to get up but Tenko grabbed her waist. Mareth frowned and said. " I will fucking burn you. Let me go!" she ordered.

Tenko smirked and sent a small shock into her body. It traveled along her nerves and rocked her like an intense orgasm. Tenko felt his lap become soaked but the scent was everything he thought it would be and sweeter.

"I thought you would have more endurance that." he teased.

Mareth laughed put her head on his shoulder. "Fuck you!" she panted. "I wasn't really going to burn you. I was taught that alphas were aggressive but I never expected you."

"Am I too aggressive? I'm still learning." Tenko replied.

Mareth lifted her head up. "No, you're perfect. " she giggled. "And After we get that Alpha, I want to stick around. If you'll have me."

Tenko rolled his eyes. "I guess you're useful. Why not?"

Mareth punched his chest. "I am the best druid in Paranor. But luckily fate has brought us together. I could have easily met you as another pack's emissary."

"Paranor's a Myth."

Mareth smirked. "Alpha Kitsunes are Myths."

"No, Just rare"

"As rare as meeting a druid of Paranor. Look at that...Two myths coming together. It must be fate."

Tenko chuckled and smacked her ass. "Get up, I have to get going. I'm already late. "

Mareth stood up and slide her drenched panties off. "I see why you like dresses and skirts. Easy to work with." Mareth quipped as she tossed her panties to Tenko.

"You know being in the pack doesn't mean free for all," Tenko told her.

"In the wild it does. Especially if the population is low, the Alpha can and sometimes does mate with multiple females in the pack. And that's what this is, Tenko, a wild pack with a strong Alpha to keep us contained when we need it. Own it." Mareth educated him before she walked to the door.

"Oh, and Tenko? You should have the geeky friend of that Omega talk to his dad." Mareth called as she opened the door.

"Why?"

"To look into the dead bus driver. He died last night, succumbed to his wounds," she replied.

"I'll make it happen. And I'll be in the preserve all night."

"The coyote?" Mareth asked.

"Yes. The coyote."

Mareth giggled as she left Tenko's house. He then got up and cleaned the table. He and Mareth had breakfast together while they talked about Lacy. Mareth was dead set on revenge, but all the other feelings that she had about losing her sister weighed on her. She couldn't trust Deaton so she took a leap of faith and opened up to Tenko. She was surprised by how receptive and attentive he was to her feelings. The meal naturally went on longer than they expected, but they were both pleased with the level of familiarity they had for each other by the end.

When the Kitchen was clean. Tenko sent Mareth's phone number to Derek. With a short message that asked for the things, Laura left behind before she left for Beacon Hills.
