Stiles' P.O.V.
My fists clenched at my sides as I watched the Nogitsune stumble toward me.
"There's no use fighting anymore, Stiles....I've captured almost all of the territories on the board...The hospital, the police station, and now, the animal clinic...." He was right; he was winning the game. I don't know what I was supposed to do now.
"How do we know this isn't just a trick?" Valerie asked the bandaged demon.
"No more tricks, Valerie....It's too late for that. And now, everyone you love is going to die....Everyone touched by an Oni's blade...And Scott.....Scott. You will became Stiles' koshakuné...I'm going to make your best friend kill you Stiles...And you're going to let him!"
"Why? Why are you doing this?!" I asked, shaking with anger.
"To win the game of course...." The Nogitsune stepped back and the Oni appeared behind him, bearing their swords. Kira and Scott began fighting the Oni themselves as Valerie pulled me back towards a large rock to hide me. This was all my fault. I don't want them to give up anything for me. Kira katana clattered to the ground and I crawled away from Valerie to scoop it up in my shaking hands. I gripped the hand tightly as I held the tip to me stomach. The Nogitsune breathed in satisfaction.
"Stiles, no!" Valerie yelled.
"What if it saves you, what if it saves all of you?!" Valerie bit her lip and Scott just stared at me.
"You have no moves left....DO IT!" The Nogitsune urged. I frantically looked around at everyone, who looked absolutely terrified. There really was no way out of this. I took a deep breath and stared at my reflection in the sword. But then, I saw something. A book? I turned around and saw a history book on the ground, next to a desk. This wasn't real. It was an illusion. A trick to get me to kill myself.
"You're wrong." I said confidently as I tossed the katana back to Kira.
"What?"
"I have one move left. A divine move." The Nogitsune growled.
"Guys, this is an illusion. It may look real and feel real, but you've gotta trust me, it's an illusion." Scott, Kira, and Valerie all looked at each other and nodded. Kira and Scott stepped up to the Oni and began to make their way through. An Oni hissed and slashed Scott's side, creating a large gash. He roared in pain, but miraculously, he kept going. Kira paraded through as she was covered in slashes, she cried out in pain, but kept stumbling through. The Nogitsune tilted his head in confusion as Scott grew closer and closer. Valerie led me through while the Oni fought Kira and Scott.
"No!" The Nogitsune roared in fury. Scott grabbed both of his arms and pushed him back. My sight became swallowed into a blinding light.

We pushed through the doors and stumbled out and into the hallway. We were okay.
"Guys, we did it. We're okay, we're ok-" Scott began, but was grabbed by a pair of hands and slammed against the lockers by an unknown force. Kira turned around and stumbled back as the Nogitsune's empty eyes narrowed at her. He smirked before knocking the katana out of her grasp. He grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Valerie held on my arm as she stared up at him in terror. The Nogitsune turned his bloodshot eyes to us.
"This was my game. You think you can beat me at my game?"
