Dear Mocha

第41章

"It's been six months, Kae..." Mocha said, her eyes glassy with tears. She rushed to her friend, hugging him tightly. Kae ruffled her hair, looking at the shorter one. He chuckled lightly, before looking at Cupi.

Cupi angrily exhaled, slapping Kae in the face. "You dumbass jerk!" She cried out, hugging him tightly, he hugged her back, his head resting on her shoulder, since she was about his height. Hunter watched quietly, clenching his fists.

After they broke from their arrival, they welcomed him in with happy smiles. Kae looked at everyone in the place. All of them stared at him in confusion. Cupi motioned him to sit down.

Mocha rushed to sit with him to fill him in on everything that happened, and in return, he would tell her everything. Kae wouldn't tell anyone other than his two friends, just to keep Seliana safe from all the trouble, he can tell, she has changed.

Cupi rushed into the hallway past the living room, banging on Yakei's bedroom, where he and Hayen usually sleep. He was probably napping after the meal he had, but she couldn't let him sleep just yet.

"SIR YAKEI! HAYEN! WAKE UP!" She cried out, exasperating furiously as she screamed for them to come out. "Damn Cupi! Relax." Hayen said, appearing behind her. She jumped, clawing his skin. "Shoot! Sorry!" she apologized, rubbing the back of her neck.

"What's all this noise for anyway?" He grumpily asked, dull eyes stared down at Cupi. "He's back, Kae, he's back." She informs him, and Hayen raises his brows, before disappearing once again.

"MISTER YAKEI!" She began calling once again, knocking on the door multiple times. She hoped he can get up and answer her calls. Which won't happen since Yakei's an extremely deep sleeper.

"You have magic?" Kae said, amazed by the new accomplishment they managed to achieve while he was gone. So much stuff happened in a span of six months. "That's something. You're not from Arcania though," He muttered, stroking his chin.

The people who had arrived were Geo, Camilla, Ruki, Aston, Mocha, Cupi and Zayn, and two other people he forgot to introduce Mocha and Cupi too. Mocha took notice of everyone staring at Kae as some weirdo and cleared her throat.

"Uh, this is Kae! Our friend! We didn't seem him in a while, so we wanted to introduce him to everyone!" She nervously said, nodding quickly. Kae smiled goofily, waving at everyone.

Camilla smiled, waving back, Geo and Hunter shared a look then shrugged, and Aston and Zayn talked among themselves about the newcomer. Ruki rushed over to Kae and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Kae!" He happily said.

Kae shook hands with him, before Ruki sat next to him on the couch. Mocha got up and walked past everyone. "Make him feel welcomed, Hunter." She firmly said, eyeing him. Which surprised him since he never saw this side of Mocha.

He glanced at Kae who happily introduced himself to the others, he must be dear to them, especially Cupi, he bit his bottom lip, before shaking his head. This was great, too great for her, what was it for him though?

"Tell us, what school are you in, Kae?" Camilla asks, clasping her hands together as she questioned hum. Her brown hair fell over her shoulders as she bent down to Kae's level. "I'm in Azure, first yearer, though I'm a late transfer." He mentions.

"Late transfer? So, you'll be joining us soon?" Ruki says happily, his deep-forest eyes stared into Kae's heterochronic eyes. His calm black hair felt wet (it wasn't.) and his bangs went down to his nose, spiky, with spaces between each strand for his eyes to show.

He was light skinned, and he had pure white teeth. "I guess so?" Kae said, laughing nervously at the close contact. Ruki retreated his head, smiling. "Nice to meet ya! I'm Ruki Yamada," he said, as both shook hands together.

"Kae." He answered, uncomfortable sharing his last name. Ruki reminded him of someone, a little girl who had a huge impact on his life. She was probably gone now, as he had no idea what happened to her.

"I'm Camilla, this is Hunter, (She pointed at the redhead that stood by), Zayn, Aston, Geo, and three other friends of hunter." Camilla introduced them, pointing at Zayn, Geo, Aston as she told him about everyone.

Kae nodded, smiling. They talked a bit more, before a ghost stepped in the room, stretching his arms. He soon looked around, before seeing an unfamiliar person Hunter didn't inform him about.

'Must be him then.' He thought, before walking past everyone to be in front of Kae. "Nice to meet you, Kae?" He shook hands with the taller boy, smiling in the process. Kae's skin shivered but he smiled back awkwardly, before answering.

"Nice to meet you too,". "I'm Hayen, I was helping your friends find you over the past few months." He informed Kae, before taking an empty seat next to the brunette boy. Kae nodded, appreciative.

"You'll be attending starting next term?" Mocha asks Kae as they all sit with their pajamas on while sitting on the roof, allowing the soft breeze to flow through the quiet and lovely atmosphere.

Kae sat cross-legged, fiddling with his fingers as he nodded. "Amazing!! we can show you around then!" Cupi happily notes, wrapping her arm around his neck. Kae smiles, nodding. "I guess." He shrugs.

"Anything aside, I need to tell you both something really important." Cupi says, her expression shifting to an upset one. Mocha and Kae share a look before turning to Cupi. "YOU SAY WHAT?" Mocha yells, half raised from her position.

Cupi nodded, her head hanging low. She didn't make her final decision yet, but this is what she wanted for the time being. Kae is returned safely, and Mocha learned magic, everything's perfect.

Mocha crawls and sits next to Cupi, putting her hands on Cupi's shoulders. "What's the matter?" She asks, trying to force eye contact with her closest friend. "I want to kill the queen of the Blaze Kingdom." She stutters, clenching her fists.

"She turned my life miserable after my kingdom got attacked when I was a kid." She looks up to Mocha, who was surprised, she never saw this side of Cupi, and she didn't expect this from her the very least.

Kae, quietly watched, knowing one of their friend's is a Blaze citizen, he didn't know how to react. Killing? A queen? Cupi must be nuts, since the royale families are usually very strong and deadly.

Suddenly, they heard something drop to the floor, coming from the entrance to the roof. They all quickly turned to the source of the noise, Hunter stood there, wide eyed. He apparently heard what Cupi said.

He exhaled his nostrils, before angrily turning back, climbing down the hatch once more. "Hunter! Wait!" She yelled, getting up and running right after him into the hatch. Mocha and Kae watched quietly, before turning to the sky.
