Chương 15: Chapter XIII: Paid In Full Pt.2

"Tenko, just tell me what's happening." Allison pleaded to him in the gymnasium.

Tenko's phone buzzed. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick text.

"Who was that?" Allison asked curiously.

"My mom... She's always in my business." Tenko replied with a smirk.

Allison's phone then went off. She looked down to see that a text had come in from her father. Tenko looked over and read the text.

"Tell him, that you're in the Gymnasium and that you're scared," said Tenko.

Allison looked at him with a worried face, but Tenko just nodded at her for assurance. Allison then typed away and sent the text off.

"Follow my lead and everything will be okay," said Tenko.

The doors than flew open, but it wasn't the Argents and their hunters.

"Allison!" Scott called out and ran to her.

Tenko summoned his claws and pointed at Scott, warning him to stay away. "I'll take care of her. You just focus on staying alive," said Tenko.

Scott looked confused and flashed his mopey eyes at Allison but she looked away. A moment later the doors flew open again and the Argents lead in a 10 man team armed to the teeth.

Tenko took Allison by the waist and whispered to her again. "Showtime. Don't talk, just listen," he told her.

Allison nodded and Tenko looked at Chris and Kate Argent, behind them were two faces that Tenko knew all too well, the father-daughter duo, Phil and Anisa Harty.

"Chris, Kate. I'm glad you two showed up. But I have this under control, you can go home now." Said Tenko.

Chris frowned. "What the hell is going on, Tenko?"

"You tell me, Chris. The night we talked. You acted as if there was no way the Alpha could be hunting Allison. And tonight, I track the Alpha here, stalking these two on their date. And when they ran, guess who the Alpha targeted?"

Chris tensed up and glanced at Kate. Kate became rigid and looked around the Gymnasium.

"Where is it now, Tenko?" Kate asked.

"In the school, hunting. But it wants Allison. It'll come for her. That's why I have her."

"Bullshit! Tenko you let her go!" Chris raised his silver desert eagle handgun and stepped towards Tenko.

Kate looked at the situation and stopped her brother. "We're here. We can protect her. If the Alpha wants her so bad, let him come. We can end this tonight, Chris. No more bodies."

Tenko felt Allison tense as she watched her Aunt suggest that she should be used as bait.

"Wrong!" Tenko called out. "Three more bodies in the school."

Kate looked at Chris with a raised eyebrow. Chris sighed then turned to his men. "Sweep the school, shoot anything that moves," said Chris.

Chris then moved to Allison to pull her away but Tenko held onto her arm. "I made a lot of promises. And they will be paid in full. Allison stays with me, Chris. You can stick close. But she stays with me." Tenko glared and Chris glared back.

Kate rolled her eyes and walked over to the boys. She knew both men were headstrong and wouldn't cave. And for some reason Tenko had made up his mind to be Allison's guardian Angel. Though she didn't mind, she did wish to be young again.

"Give it a rest! we have bigger problems. What's the plan, Tenko?" Kate asked.

Tenko waited as everyone left the Gymnasium. When the only people remaining, appeared to be, Tenko, Allison, Scott, Chis, and Kate. Tenko gave Kate cold hard eyes and said. "The Truth. The Alpha is Peter... Peter Hale."

"You knew who it was all along?!" Chris snapped.

Tenko shrugged. "I couldn't trust you and I still don't. I follow the hunter's code. You Argents, questionable. I'll kill the Alpha. no qualms. But I need to know, is this killing spree your loose ends?" Tenko asked.

Kate looked at her brother and then at Scott.

"Scott's in training. He isn't the best hunter. But he's alright. I trust him." Tenko spoke nonchalantly. Though, Scott looked a bit confused.

Kate's jaw flexed. "You have to promise, if anything happens, Beacon Hills will be a safe haven for the Argent Family. If anyone comes, you help us fight them," said Kate.

Tenko took a deep breath and nodded with a frown, giving Kate the impression that he agreed.

"Nine years ago, My dad sent me and a team to Beacon Hills to take care of the Hale pack. There was a pack of alpha's running wild in an attempt to build the most superior pack and he believed Talia Hale was their next prospect. So he sent me here to make sure she would never get the chance to join." Kate explained.

Scott and Chris's eyes went wide with shock. Allison was still a bit confused until Tenko asked, "So you burned the whole family down. What about the ones that weren't werewolves?"

Kate shrugged. "Who's to say they wouldn't give birth to wolves in the next generation."

Allison felt a tingle down her spine. She looked at her aunt and she saw some that she didn't recognize. A murder.

Tenko nodded with pursed lips. " Even without the kids and human adults. You broke the code, Kate. We'll take care of the Alpha now, but you'll have to give yourself up or your whole family pays the price."

"That's if you tell," Kate smirked.

Tenko smiled and made a zipped lips gesture. Kate gave him a wink and Tenko then explained how he 'Cut' the alpha with a wolfsbane laced dagger. Tenko concocted a story with ease and gave the impression that the Alpha was alone, injured, and hiding just above the ceiling panels somewhere in the school.

"That's why you moved to the Gym. No basic ceiling panels. The Alpha can't ambush you." said Chris.

Pah pah pah. Guns fired and interrupted their conversation. Pah pah pah. the shooting continued and it was a lot more shooting then Chris felt was needed for a wounded Alpha.

"What kind of wolfsbane did you use?" Chris asked Tenko.

"Regular wolfsbane. Nothing special, but it'll work, eventually." Tenko replied nonchalantly.

A moment later Phil and Anisa ran into the gymnasium with claw marks and bleeding wounds. "They're dead, they're all dead" Anisa cried out.

"What do you mean they're dead?" Kate asked.

Tenko smiled at the battered hunters. "Finally..." he sighed.

Chris and Kate looked at Tenko confused.

Tenko smirked. "My moms here. I kind of told her I was in danger." Tenko laughed as he spoke.

"You guys can come in now!" Tenko shouted.

Since the hunters arrived in the Gymnasium, Tenko could smell Peter and Derek were waiting. He even heard their conversation. Derek telling Peter to wait, that Tenko had a plan. A plan that he and Tenko cooked up when they met in the basement, a plan with the best outcome.

Derek, Peter, and his Beta walked into the Gymnasium. Peter was holding a still injured Derek and the Argent held raised their weapons. Ready to gun Derek, Peter, and the beta down.

"Mareth!" Tenko shouted.

The Argents suddenly felt a strong telekinetic pull and their weapons flew from their hands.

"Take care of the Harty's" Tenko order.

Anisa and Phil suddenly fell unconscious.

"Tenko, Rhapsody," Mareth replied.

To everyone it made no sense. But between Tenko, Mareth, and Nikita, it meant that Mareth had used too much power and couldn't push herself much further without injury or sacrifice.

"Drop the cloak and take a rest babe!" Tenko replied and Mareth appeared from thin air, shocking everyone except Tenko and Derek.

The gymnasium doors were then kicked open and Nikita walked in with an unsheathed Katana.

"I'm glad you decided to be a Kitsune, Mother. This wouldn't have worked without." Tenko spoke.

Nikita rolled her eyes. "We still have things to talk about. So for now. I'm here as a mother. " she replied.

Tenko jaw tightened and he exhaled heavily. "So be it, mother..." Tenko spoke with a little contempt.

The Argents listened to the conversation and remembered the night when Tenko fought with two ninjatos and wave of enlightenment washed over them. Kate put on a face of wow and looked at Tenko. "You're a kitsune," she said.

"Guilty." Tenko replied, "You murdered my friend's family." Tenko quipped.

Kat and Chris suddenly felt a sense foreboding and remembered Tenko's words, 'you'll have to give yourself up or your whole family pays the price'

"So what now?" Kate asked.

"It's up to you, Kate. Peter here wants to rip your throat out" Tenko replied and Peter moved with a purpose and grasped by the throat and raised into the air. Chris looked on helplessly.

Tenko chuckled and his chest bounced. "Easy Pete. I know how you like to tear people apart. So what's it going to be, Kate?! Peter lost a daughter in that fire! Will you give Allison up in return?!" Tenko asked.

Allison jerked but Tenko grasped her waist and held her close. His griped eased and turned into a gentle caress, Allison's body relaxed and Tenko's words came to her mind. 'Follow my lead and everything will be okay' she remembered his words and her shoulders eased, her breath became steady. Chris noticed his daughter's reaction and stared at Allison. Allison glanced at him and quickly looked away. Chris finally realized what was happening. But Scott took the situation the wrong way and only felt jealousy. His heart began to race and he released a low growl.

Chris hear the growl and turned to look at Scott. Scott threw his head down to hide his canine teeth, his hand was balled in a fist to conceal his shifting claws.

With mean eyes, Chris turned back to face Tenko. "He isn't hunter isn't he?" he asked.

Tenko shook his head with a smirk.

"He's the other beta." Chris laughed to himself and remembered all of the times Scott was in his house and at his table.

Allison stared at Scott with shock and he put on a sad puppy face.

"Okay! No teen wolf drama. Kate! what's it going to be?" Tenko asked.

Kate didn't speak and her face was extremely calm. Chris sighed and took a step closer to Allison.

As fast as she could, Kate pulled out two knives and stabbed them into Peter's arm. Peter released her when pulled his arm back and roared to the ceiling. every Beta in the room felt the pressure to attack. But Tenko didn't worry, as Kate ran for the closest locker room door, Mareth gave one last push and broke Kates legs causing to fall face first in excruciating pain.

Peter morphed into his feral form and lept over to Kate. He turned around and clawed her throat out, nearly beheading the woman. The moment Peter ended Kate. The snap of a kneck sounded throughout the gym.

Peter turned around to see that Derek had killed his beta. He then felt his instincts flare when Nikita threw her Katana at him. bouncing to the right, Peter dodged the Katana, but not the actual attack.

Tenko had jetted forth and snatched the Katana from the air. Tenko moved with quick precision and all of his built-up rage.

Shing! Shplat!

"Rroooaaaarrrr!" Peter roared as his left leg was cut smooth off.

Tenko jabbed his foot to the floor and spun low slicing open Peter's stomach. Tenko didn't pause to watch the man's guts spill to the gym floor. He quickly moved to decapitate Peter and a telekinetic force stopped. All Tenko could do was see red, flashes of Aria and Lacey, the pain and guilt Derek felt for his Laura.

"Tenko! Son, you honored your promise. I watched you gut the man that killed Aria." Nikita called.

"But promises have to be paid in full. You said that. And you're a man of your word, that's the Alpha I choose to follow." Mareth Added.

Tenko turned to shout at Mareth until the sight of blood seeping from the corners of her mouth made him drop the Katana. When the Katana hit the floor with a clang. Mareth relaxed and fell to the floor herself. She had used power beyond her limit.

Tenko repeated the words that he once told Derek. "I'll gut him and you can rip his throat out!" Tenko barked.

Derek's eyes shined cold steel blue. He limped over to Peter and grabbed him by the back of his head. "This is for Laura, and my mother, who you betrayed when you decided to kill her daughter and still the power that she left to her."

Derek's claws dug deep into Peter's throat. The man began to choke. When Derek's claw finally touch Peter's neck bone, he produced a savage growl and tore Peter's throat out, along with everything that made up his neck and the piece of the spine that connected the man's head to his body. The hand the was holding Peter's head was pulled in the opposite direction, leaving Peter's headless corpse to fall to the floor.

Derek heaved and eyes turned crimson red as he inherited the Alpha spark. Derek shifted and released his first howl as an Alpha, shaking the school and the trees surround it. His howl then traveled across Beacon Hills and all of Beacon County, signifying that Hales Pack had returned.

Tenko smiled at his friend, then looked over to the Argents. Allison stared at her dead Aunt and Peter's headless corpse. Chris stared at Tenko with a will ready to fight him to the death.

"Relax Chris. Peter and Kate had to die. Derek needed to become the Alpha. It had to be this way. Peter kills Kate, we Kill Peter, no more bad blood. But then again, we both know who's coming now."

"We could have done this a different way. Now, my men, innocent men are dead, and Gerard will have blood." Said Chris.

"Fuck Gerard, he's the reason this shit is happening. And they weren't your men. They were Kate's, the moment she arrived and you know it. It's what Gerard ordered." Tenko replied.

Chris remained silent, he knew the truth, he just wasn't sure how Tenko knew.

"The only other way for justice was to kill Peter and call the Gilberts. And you don't the Gilberts in on this. Those fuckers are old testaments and they like to destroy families that tarnish their order. They make the fucking Calaveras look like preschool teachers." said Tenko

Chris swallowed the lump in his throat at the mention of the Gilberts. The Argent family was old, but the Gilberts are older, Originally named, The House of Nyctimus. The first werewolf hunters. It also didn't help that he was currently out numbered.

"Compromise?" Chris asked

Tenko nodded. " If Gerard comes, he will come with an army, I know this. You can't stop him, he's worse than those things he created over there on the floor. So for now, let's call a truce. Or I can finish what I started."

Chris looked at Allison and then held out his hand towards Tenko. When they shook on it, Chris said. "Promise. Promise that you'll let Allison live if Gerard comes to start a war."

"I swear. But if she aims a weapon at me and mine. I will cut her down with extreme prejudice." Tenko replied.

Tenko then moved to pick up Mareth before leaving the Gymnasium with Derek and Nikita.

"So what was the purpose of having Scott there?" Derek asked.

"Gerard will be coming for our heads. We killed Kate, his daughter. You want Scott in your pack, so he had to see what war will look like with Allison's family. Hopefully, he straightens up now that his mom is also on the line." Tenko replied.

The group walked through the hallway of bodies. Blood ruined their shoes and Nikita looked satisfied with her work.

"What do you mean, now that his mom is on the line?" Derek asked.

"Peter left a going-away present. He bit Melissa before all of this started."

Derek didn't look surprised. "He did say, wolf mommy or dead mommy. That guy was fucked up."

"Yupp."

When the group made it to Nikita's car. Derek and Tenko talked a bit about what happens next. But Derek couldn't help but get sentimental. He pulled Tenko into a hug and thanked him.

"Yeah, no problem, guy. And I'm glad Peter didn't kill you, you're like one of my only friends." Tenko replied.

Nikita sat in the car smiling to her self.

_______________________________________________________________

On the road from the high school, Tenko pulled out his phone and dialed out.

"Beacon Hills Sheriff Department." A feminine voice answered.

"Rhapsody... I would like to report a shooting at Beacon Hills High school. Please come quick." Tenko ended the call.

"Who was that?" asked Nikita.

"Our cop friend. She has a little girl that needs medicine, which means she needs the money." Tenko replied.

"So that's how the cops stayed away?"

"She's dispatch. Snuff a few calls as long as she can or until I give her the safe word," said Tenko.

"Well, I'm glad to see you've been working hard. What do we do with, Mareth?"

"We take care of her until she wakes up. She says chocolate helps with the fatigue. So, I'll get her some Chocolate."

"And do you really trust Derek to be an Alpha?"

"Yes! Mom! Goddamn! What's up with all of these questions?" Tenko asked.

Nikita smacked Tenko in the chest. "Watch your mouth when you're talking to me. And I'll ask all of the questions I want. If you haven't noticed, you've been making questionable moves lately. I need to know how you are feeling, your thought process, Tenko. You are an Alpha, but even Alphas have mothers, so spare me the bullshit."

Tenko scuffed and looked out of the window.

"Is it the fox, hmm? What is it, lightning, astral projection, illusions? Tenko?!"

"It happened after I pulled Mareth to the Astral Plane. It was my first time. Then I met a Werecoyote, Mareth suggested I take her to the Astral Plane to help her shift back. She's trapped in her coyote form. So I started practicing..." Tenko explained.

"Then what?" Nikita asked.

"I pulled Allison Argent on to the Astral Plane. It was the longest I ever last. I even surprised myself. Then I showed her my fox."

"You manifested your fox on the astral plane?" Nikita asked.

"Yes... I can feel it now. I've been feeling it ever since. The fox, beating at the door." Tenko replied.

"This isn't good. What you pulled tonight is just the beginning. Your fourth tail is coming soon, that mean's Kitsune maturity and with it, everything it means to be a Kitsune. And I have no idea how the Alpha spark will affect this." Nikita explained.

Tenko just stared at the passing scenery as he smelled the stress coming from his mother. He felt that she was overreacting, but he didn't know that his mother was worried about a lot more than just fox puberty.
