Dear Mocha

第43章

Cupi didn't want to move. She stared at her friend, wide-eyed. Clenching her fists. "Why does it matter, it's still my name." She gritted her teeth.

"I overheard Yakei speaking about your last name, the school said such name doesnt exist in their records," Cupi gulped, before sighing. "Why don't you want anyone to know?" He asked, confused.

Kae turned around. "If you don't tell her, I will gladly." He mentioned, before walking off. Cupi rubbed the back of her head, irritated. So much is happening and she doesn't know why.

Her name was famous for thievery, as a kid, her father and her used to steal from other people. Obviously, they didn't have a proper job, so they had no choice.

He was then wanted, and eventually, she was too. Their last name was unknown, and so they used it to hide their identities. Cupi had to dye her hair white, to prevent anyone from knowing it was her.

Her father changed his hairstyle, and made himself look like another person. The hair dye soon became permenant, and she couldn't get her natural blue hair again.

Ever since her parent's death, and she didn't use her name. Just Cupi, she manipulated Mocha into naming her Cupi, and she tricked Kae for some time that her name was Cupi.

It wasn't, though.

Her name, it was Kyo Sutorimu Cupi. She was the daughter of the infamous old "Wind Theif" and she decided to keep it hidden. Forgetting about everything, she morphed into a cat, before  sneaking into her and Mocha's bedroom.

She wanted to walk, so she morphed back and wore cozy and warm clothes to keep her body temperature stable. Then, she took the Charm Mocha always used and slid it into her pockets.

She morphed back into a cat and jumped out of the window, parkouring her way down to the streets. She made her way unnoticed to the snowy town square.

The incident about Shi twenty-nine and High Lunarity two was the hot talk of everyone. Decorations were hung up, colored in vibrant yellow, blue and grey.

Many people were building cosmetics, or painting on boards, or hanging up ornaments around the buildings and shops. Kyo, who was confused, looked around admiring all the new additions.

She morphed back into a human, gasping in awe. Her short hair flowed back, letting the spikes rest at ease. She then walked over to one of the people who were decorating, watching the man pin the board on the wall.

"Excuse me, why are you putting up boards and decorations?" Kyo asked, waiting for his answer. "Eh? You're not from here, kid?" The man asked, a bit startled by her sudden question. He should have expected it, due to the fact many tourists and outsiders are coming.

"No, I've recently moved here. I'm from the Northern side of the Wind Kingdom." She said, as she shook the mans hand. The man threw the hammer into the tool box which was next to the ladder he was standing on.

"The traditional Winter Calivari is on the twenty-first of December, all Kingdoms will celebrate and this year, our kingdom is hosting the grand show. Azure Academy students will be participating." The man explained, reaching down to take another tool.

Winter Calivari?

Kyo nodded, before walking off. So her school will be hosting it? They didn't recieve anything yet, since it's only the eleventh of December, and the ceremony will be in at least ten days from now.

Kyo walked down the district, watching everyone have fun and help decorating. It's peaceful, and she's happy about it. Though, she has to focus on Lady Kinoko right now. The enemy she has to plot against.

The thought of it made her think about Hunter, he'd be angry and upset if his idol dies. Though there's probably no way she'd be able to kill her, since she's pretty strong.

She's heard that she is probably strong enough to be a Ichigomori Shi member. This shouldn't stop her though. There is a poison she's not immune to. Misfit Valley has a good amount of it.

'I have to encounter Shis then.. or Banshees the very least.' She reminds herself, sighing in anger.   Cupi frowned, clenching her fists, thinking hard. Should she encourage Mocha to come? Or should she go herself?

Everyone would notice if she went missing, so she can pretend she's going to help find the book. But secretly look for the poison. It should be in special trees which have proper access to moon light.

Kyo breathed. "I haven't seen my parents as ghosts yet." She claims, which means they probably didn't make it as ghosts. She then turned around, when she bumped into a familiar boy.

"Oh — sorry, Cupi." The voice chuckled, she pat her head while muttering curses at whoever bumped into her, before looking up. None other than the creep, Zayn.

"What got you here?" He asks, smiling cheekily. "Taking a walk, you?" She says casually. He picks up a jar with a bueatiful looking snow flower. "Geo wanted a Fuyunobara, and they only grow for one week in winter! Gonna surprise him with it." He explains, tapping the jar.

Kyo hummed an 'Oh.' Before excusing herself to go. "See you another time?" He said, smiling. Cupi nodded, walking off while not giving her attention. She has to put her studies and entertainment aside.

Now, her current priority. Blaze Kingdom's moste 'Beloved' queen, Lady Kinoko. The poison  should be enough and she can lure Kae into helping her kill that woman. Hunter's feelings don't matter right now.

Avenging the refugees and her parents? That's what she has to do. Alongside the plan, she has to think of a way to not be suspected. She can make it as if it wasn't her fault. She can put the blame on someone.

But who, you ask?

None other than the queen. She'll make everyone think the queen attacked her. The lie would work. Hoping that the queen would be violent enough for everyone to believe.

Cupi or Kyo — smirked, happy of how she has everything planned. 'Soon, Mother, Father'
