Dear Mocha

第66章

It has been a few days since they all returned from the Misfit Valley. It was currently eight fifteen in the evening, on the 31st of December. Mocha was busy get dressed in her and Cupi's shared room, as the other had already finished getting ready. 

The girl was wearing a plane yellow kimono, and white obi sash and a lotus flower hairpiece. Her hair was down, and she was just adjusting her kimono. She had some blush on her cheeks and nose. She was wearing geta sandals. 

"Mimi, HURRY UP! We'll be late!" Kyo yelled from outside the door, as Mocha chuckled, looking back at her. "Okay, okay! You're the one to talk!" She said, rushing to the door. She opened it, revealing her best friend who had a smile. 

Kyo's short messy hair was left messy, and she was wearing a green kimono with white and blue symmetrical shapes and designs. She had a white shirt under, which peeked from under her kimono, and she was wearing tabi shoes. She had a checkered red and white obi sash wrapped around her waist. 

Kyo and Mocha bid good-bye to the others, before leaving to head to the Kingdom central, where the class was supposed to meet. As they walked down the streets, their eyes flashed at the colorful traditional painted lanterns hanging in the sky.

Many traditional sun decorations were flourishing the kingdom, with more poppies blooming. Usually, poppy flowers bloom in spring, but Mocha guessed the logic in Arcania was different. They walked down the pathway as their shoes clicked on the ground. 

"Seriously, I missed their stupid faces." Cupi breathed, as Mocha laughed at her. They haven't seen their classmates in a while, and it would be a good thing to see them again. Hayen was sad they wouldn't spend new years with them, but he didn't mind that much. 

"I do too, I can't wait to see them for the last time before we get back to studying, I can't believe the vacation will finish in a week." Mocha said, reminding Kyo to grown in annoyance, who didn't want to remember the painful memory. 

"Right, right, you had to remind me, didn't you?" She said, as they arrived to the entrance of a highly lit festival. The entrance had a large metal doorless frame, which was decorated with paint, sun-themed decorations and text.

They stepped inside, and the party of lights greeted them. The hundreds of lights and lanterns showed every prestige detail put into this festival. Many food stalls were set up, carnival games, and the place was packed.

Mocha was wide mouthed, surprised to see all this. She held Kyo's hand, so they wouldn't be lost in this tremendous crowds. Many people dressed up in kimonos, and other traditional clothing which she didn't familiarize with on earth. 

"Oh my God, this is spectacular!" She said, surprised by all this. The girl dragged Kyo deep into the festival, as she looked at the stalls which sold food, toys, clothes, etc. Her eyes brimmed with joy. She didn't go to many festivals, so this was a nice change. 

"Calm down, village girl. Let me see where Ruki and the others are." She said, grabbing Mocha by her arm before she can drift into the crowd and admire the scenery. Mocha groaned, remembering they were here to spend the night with others. 

Mocha stood there, looking at the passing people in awe. Some gave her odd stares, and most ignored her presence. Kyo was standing in the middle of the path's traffic, which annoyed some people. After minutes of waiting, Kyo began moving, leading Mocha.

They reached the center, where a large fountain was. It was the fountain Mocha had seen the first time she came here. (I don't remember if I included it in the book ha-ha, so I won't give any descriptions.) There, was a group of people.

One of them noticed them and rushed up to the two girls. She had long, coffee-brown hair, light skin and light brown eyes. She was wearing a pink kimono, and had fuchsia waves all over it, with a green obi sash, and normal white sneakers. 

"Cupi! Misaki!" The girl beamed, holding their hands. Mocha held her hands, back before pulling the girl into a deep passionate hug. "Komuki, it's amazing to meet you again!" Mocha said, as they broke the hug.

Komuki then hugged Kyo, before chatting a bit with them. Komuki Natsuo was a member of their classroom. They didn't speak much with her, until the trio teams came in place. Mocha was paired with her and Daichi Tsumo, another member of their class. 

After they got fourth place in the event between all the first-year classes, Mocha introduced her and Daichi to Kyo, and the latter was pleased to meet them. Komuki used the light element, like another member in their class called Nagato Yuuma. 

They went to the group, which was already formed, it appeared not all of them were there yet, which annoyed Kyo. Ruki was present, Komuki, Daichi, and four other people were also present. The first was a tall, with dark green hair. It was Takumi Naba.

"You never bother to brush your hair, right Takumi?" Mocha sighed, as the older male shrugged. He was wearing a black jacket, white shirt and jeans. He didn't bother to show up in formal attire, how rude.

Diachi was wearing a white Haori with green patches all over, white shirt, a belt, and grey Hakama pants. He had a candy apple in his hand, and he was eating it slowly, not bothering with the group. 

Another was a girl who was slightly taller than Mocha, but still shorter than Cupi. It was Lumei Ochiku, a Lunar Kingdom student. She was quiet, and never bothered to engage much. She wore a simple purple kimono which was cut short till below her knees, and she wore white ankle-socks with geta sandals. She had an orchid in her dark purple hair, which was styled into a bun. 

She waved at them, and they waved back. Ochiku was a respectful and strong young lady, they liked her presence. Ochiku's purple eyes twinkled under the moon. The person standing next to her, was another student called Shota Kitoki.

He had given the two a soft smile. He was also a Lunar Kingdom student and was good friends with everyone in the class. He had black hair and brown eyes. He wore a black shirt, black haori and navy-blue pants. He was wearing sandals for males though. 

"Shota!" Mocha shook hands with him, before turning to the last person who was present, it was Yukimura Yoshimetsu. He was another Wind refugee like Kyo, and the two grew attached to each other and became good friends. 

He had white messy hair, green eyes and dark skin. He was wearing a green shirt with a white Yukata on, and black hakama pants with an obi sash around his waist. He was wearing tabi sandals, and he grinned when he saw Kyo. 

"Cat kid!"

"Wind pig!" 

The two pulled each other in for a hug, as they laughed amongst themselves. "Hey, MM," He said, flashing a smile at her too, as the girl smiled back. This night had just started, and she knew it would be tiring.
