It's a charm. Remember that thing Araragi and Kanbaru tried to stick on the snake shrine in episode 9? Well that.
Thanks, I can remember it now. But what's about Nadeko eat the charm and turns into Kaii? Does it mean she is no longer human and has supernatural power?

Well the charm was suppose to act like a god so I guess Nadeko is now a god? Either way Hitagi is now the only one out of the original 5 that hasn't spend any time as a Kaii.
When does Nadeko stab Shinobu? Also, i doubt Nadeko would be able to kill Shinobu, she'd only let Koyomi kill her, and she's still strong; she still has Kokorowatari right? Or is Koyomi in possesion of it?

I have a bad omen about this. If it turns out that Hitagi is killed by Nadeko and she becomes a ghost/kaii then I'd say that SHIT REALLY HIT THE FAN. <_<
Well, given that Kabuki takes place after Koi, I'm sure nothing too serious will happen.
I wouldn't be surprised if the deal with Nadeko doesn't get solved until the third season.
Anyway, I think it's quite possible that, just as its name seems to suggest, Koi is like the Araragi and Senjougahara's date in Bake - basically just romance but taken to volume length.

Wait, I thought Koi was going to be the end? Or are the novels not in chronological order?

The novels have never been in chronological order. Kizumonogatari for example came out after Bakemonogatari. These last novels all allude to some sort of big event that supposedly will be explained in Koi.
Well, given that Kabuki takes place after Koi, I'm sure nothing too serious will happen.
The chronological order is Kabuki→Shiro/Oni→Otori→Koi→Hana
And in Hana
Nadeko is the only character that dosent get mentioned at all
Kanbaru "wanted to die for what Araragi had to go through" concerning the incident before graduation
It was the third time Araragi cut a girls hair (second is probably Nadeko, though her hair is all snakes now)

Jesus christ this is so confusing can someone post/link to some summaries of what has happened so far?
Since the books aren't in order and because there are so many missing pieces its kinda hard to link them together.
Then, are there summaries of individual novels? It might help as a primer for those who wish to speculate, or simply to know what happens.
EDIT: Spent the last 30 minutes reviewing this thread, found basic spoiler/summary for every book except Nisemonogatari and a good part of Neko. They're old so if someone's read them, mind filling in the rest? And if there's anything important missing, mind adding it?

When Araragi said that if she wanted Hanekawa could still stay in his room (she could have slept on the bed besides him, under the bed if she wished, or even better using him as the bed), Hanekawa declined, thinking his virtue was at risk.

Spoiler:
The story starts out with Hanekawa doing an opening speech to the readers about how she sees herself. One interesting thing we find out is that she sometimes write out "Araragi Tsubasa" in her notebook. The story then truly begins with Hanekawa waking up for the first day of the second semester. We are shown that she actually sleeps in the hallway of her house and unlike Araragi who have sisters to wake him up, she gets waken up by one of those automatic vacuum cleaners hitting her head. She calls it Runba. She goes downstairs and prepare breakfast for herself. The "family" isn't close at all, they each cook food for themselves and almost never talk to each other. While going to school she suddenly meets Hachikuji who tells her that shes looking for Araragi. It turns out that he kidnapped her the other day to his house and when leaving she left her signature backpack at his house. Afterward they go their separate ways but not until Hachikuji spills out that what happens next with her and Araragi would be the next book. Hanekawa retorts that it is pretty much an advertisement. She continues on her way to school but then meets a tiger, not just any tiger but one is that able to talk. After saying something it walked pass her and disappeared. When Hanekawa got to school she instantly went to Senjougahara to talk about the tiger. They talk for a bit but then see their classmates gathering up near the classroom window. They look out and it turns out Hanekawa's home caught on fire. She went to the site and sees that everything has been destroyed. She tells her "parents" that she's going to stay with a friend and they go live in a hotel. However it turns out she's not actually planning on going to a friend but rather she's going to the cram school ruin that Oshino used to live. She stays there for a night but gets waken up by Senjougahara. She gets slapped and Senjougahara starts crying while holding her. It turns out that Senjougahara has been trying to find her for the past night. She initially didn't want to bother her since she thought Hanekawa would be grieving but decided to check up on her just once. When she tried to contact her Hanekawa's cellphone was off so she contacted pretty much everyone else including Hanekawa's "parents." From the very beginning she had a feeling that she would be at the ruin but she refused to believe that a girl would do something like that. When she found her she pretty much had an emotional breakdown. She took Hanekawa to her home and they stayed there for the next full day. They did things like eating together, bathing together and sleeping together. While asleep Black Hanekawa appears and it turns out that every time "she" appears its actually a different version of her. The reason she appeared this time is because subconsciously Hanekawa is actually stressed out by the fact that the home she has lived in for the past 15 years is gone. She goes outside and hunts down the tiger. She threatens it that if it messes with Hanekawa she'll kill it. The tiger however responds that the problem lies in the fact that Hanekawa saw him. It stared right at her and she jumped back so far she landed outside of town but to no avail the tiger reappeared in front of her. The event remained unexplained and she returns to Senjougahara's home. Senjoughara was awake and they meet for the first time. She wanted to shake hands with Black Hanekawa but the cat warned her that her powers will drain her dry but Senjougahara still wanted too. They did for an instant and Senjougahara pretty much got weak knees from it. All in all Senjougahara underestimated her powers. Hanekawa "wakes" up and starts to make breakfast for her and Senjougahara. When eating Senjougahara starts to criticize her when it turns out Hanekawa doesn't put any toppings or sauce whatsoever on her food. Senjougahara basically describes Hanekawa as being inhuman and that they way she acts is abnormal.

It turns out that the tiger was a manifestation of Tsubasa's jealously towards the people around her. Just like Black Hanakawa, "Kako" which is the name Tsubasa gave to the tiger, is also a new type of kaii. In the end Tsubasa reabsorbs Kako back into her body and fully accepts Black Hanekawa as a part of her. This leads to half of Hanakawa's hair becoming white and forming a strip-like pattern with her hair. This causes her to dye her hair black every mourning.

-With no where to land Shinobu grew wings and kept both of them in the air until sunrise

-She then reminds him that June 14 was when Black Hanekawa v.2 came out, when Oshino left and when she ran away from the ruin
-She tells him that had he not found her that day she would have destroyed the world
-Her theory is that since he never met Hachikuji in this world, she never told him that she saw Shinobu at Mr. Donut and he never found her
-Araragi on the other hand doesn't believe so since he figures that he would have found out that she ran away sooner or later that day
-He however did believe that he never found her that day and wasn't able to ask for help when Black Hanekawa was on the verge of killing him
-It seems that if Araragi dies then Shinobu would become Kissshot again
-They promised each other that they'll die together but since Araragi died first she destroyed the world

-This Oshino had been searching around town for information about Kaiis since he got here and heard about how a mysterious higher schooler saved Hachikuji 11 years ago
-He also heard from office workers that were middle schoolers back then and a former street officer about this mysterious high schooler with a blonde girl
-He became an urban legend but Oshino knew it was him
-He concluded that Araragi traveled in time in order to save Hachikuji
-It seems that they didn't travel in time per-se but rather traveled to a travel timeline
-In this timeline Hachikuji is capable of being saved
-The Kissshot of this timeline is also still alive

-They prepare to battle Kissshot X and goes to the shrine
-They call her out and she appears but she looks like a mess with burns all around her

-She runs into the middle of the street and Araragi narrowly saves her by grabbing her and jumping onto the other side of the road
-She tells him she's looking for her mother's house and Araragi decides to take her there
-After that they go back to the shrine and travels forward in time
-When they got back they realize that no one is in town
-They go back home and searched the house for any clues as to what happened and where in time they are
-They agree that its the apocalypse
-The last newspaper they have was on June 14, something happened between June 14th and June 15th
-They decide they need to travel back to June 14 to figure out what happen
-When they got to the shrine Shinobu realize all the energy in the area is gone
-Araragi sees that the ofuda he and Kanbaru came to place is different
-The one here sucks away all the energy around it
-He tries to take it off but gets bounced away and also charred his finger
-While all of this is happening night has already came and zombies start coming out
-They get surrounded but since the ofuda is here they can't get near
-They escape by having Shinobu carrying Araragi and jumping away with one big leap
-They see the whole town is fill with zombies and Araragi blames himself for causing this because of the time traveling
-Shinobu then tells him its actually her fault and tell him all those zombies are vampires created by her
-With no where to land Shinobu grew wings and kept both of them in the air until sunrise
-Shinobu is afraid he'll get mad if she told him the truth but he assure her that they'll always be together no matter what
-She then reminds him that June 14 was when Black Hanekawa v.2 came out, when Oshino left and when she ran away from the ruin
-She tells him that had he not found her that day she would have destroyed the world
-Her theory is that since he never met Hachikuji in this world, she never told him that she saw Shinobu at Mr. Donut and he never found her
-Araragi on the other hand doesn't believe so since he figures that he would have found out that she ran away sooner or later that day
-He however did believe that he never found her that day and wasn't able to ask for help when Black Hanekawa was on the verge of killing him
-It seems that if Araragi dies then Shinobu would become Kissshot again
-They promised each other that they'll die together but since Araragi died first she destroyed the world
-Black Hanekawa was probably the first victim
-Subordinates created by a vampire is more or less a clone of the master meaning if the master wants to destroy the world then the clones would want to do so too
-Shinobu gave Araragi freedom of this when he turned
-The zombies became this way because their vampire blood went berserk
-The next night they traveled to all sorts of famous place in order to find a energy hotspot but to no avail since they were all sealed
-They go to a supermarket to find food, they also picked up some fireworks
-They plan on using the fireworks as an SOS signal to see if there are other humans around
-Three days later they execute their plan
-The fireworks attracted the zombies and since it was cloudy they came out even though its day
-The zombies are weaken but so are Araragi and Shinobu so they can't fly away
-Then suddenly white rice started raining on the zombies
-The zombies scatter and they see only one figure
-It was a human woman carrying a backpack and an army knife
-Araragi asks for her name and she says Hachikuji Mayoi
-She confirms the spelling of Araragi's name and it turns out she has a letter from Oshino to him
-The letter explains to Araragi what happened
-The Araragi in this world is confirmed dead
-This Oshino had been searching around town for information about Kaiis since he got here and heard about how a mysterious higher schooler saved Hachikuji 11 years ago
-He also heard from office workers that were middle schoolers back then and a former street officer about this mysterious high schooler with a blonde girl
-He became an urban legend but Oshino knew it was him
-He concluded that Araragi traveled in time in order to save Hachikuji
-It seems that they didn't travel in time per-se but rather traveled to a travel timeline
-In this timeline Hachikuji is capable of being saved
-The Kissshot of this timeline is also still alive
-He says that Hachikuji is a strong girl but wouldn't be able to protect herself forever so he asks Araragi to save Hachikuji again
-Hachikuji offers to teach them some survival lessons but they refuse
-They prepare to battle Kissshot X and goes to the shrine
-They call her out and she appears but she looks like a mess with burns all around her
-She starts crying when she sees that there exists a world where she can be together with Araragi
-She offers her body to Shinobu so they can go back to their timeline, but before that she asks Araragi to pat her head as a final request
-They get back to their timeline and they leave the shrine
-When Araragi got to the bottom he runs into Hachikuji who is looking for him because of her backpack
-They go back to his house so they can get her backpack
-He asks Hachikuji Ononoki's question and she says that she's not happy about being a ghost but is happy about meeting Araragi
just how much does hitagi know about the circumstances linking both araragi and shinobu with each other?
"To me, an/the ex-vampire loli means nothing, but that girl is Araragi-kun's treasure. There would be no point in keeping him alive if she is dead"
And then goes on about the order Nadeko should kill, so Hitagi knows the whole extent of their relationship apparently
