Cold Sweat (Chapter 11)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Its eyes looked at me curiously not judging nor approving as if my short moment of hesitation was all it wanted to see.

"Yeah, it's for all Mokke. Sorry, it was wrong for me to think that you might only be doing this for yourself."
The mokke said looking down

"Chin up comrade! This is not the time to sulk, what do we do next?"
I ask making it look up at me

"While we are waiting for them to separate so we can catch Akane alone let's investigate his crush Aoi."
Mint answers making me raise a brow

"Are you suggesting we take her hostage too?"

"Possibly, if he really is willing to do anything to protect her. It might be enough to tell him that she will get hurt if he doesn't do as we tell him to."
The Mokke explains

"That seems like a dangerous bluff. If we do that he might get Teru to protect her which would be our end."
I answered shaking my head when suddenly a flash sparked in me

"Ohoho, I think I know what to do~ Does Minka make love potions? Let's tell him that if he doesn't do what we say we'll make her fall for me?"
I say my grin looking eviler with every passing moment

"Ah! Great idea but allow me to add to this plan. Did you know- that Akane doesn't really like Teru? If you get what I mean~"
Mint cues its Aura darkening
"Ohoho making her fall for his enemy, I like how you think!"
I say, Mint answering soon after
"BuuuUuut- is he going to believe us that we have a love potion?"

"You know what it takes to be a good scammer...CONFIDENCE. Let's just say 'fuck around and find out'. Do you think he'll take the risk?"
My voice was filled with mischief as Mint looked at me before taking a few steps back.

"You sometimes are really, really horrifying for a Mokke. Remind me to stay on your good side...also use less f-words!"
It scolds as we continue to follow Teru and Akane.

Hours passed as we stayed in the shadows waiting for them to separate but they stuck together. Every time they were about to leave each other's site the world seemed to throw them together again.

"Careful Mint they'll see you!"
I whisper as we hid in an empty classroom in front of the student council.

"Yeah yeah. Also, the last hours I've been thinking don't you think it's stupid to tell Akane directly if we could just do it per letter."
Mint outed its concern as we continued to observe our targets.

Teru and Akane were entering the council room when out of nowhere the door to our empty class creaked open.

Yashiro entered oblivious to our presence as she sat down at one of the desks, taking out papers and a pouch.

Mint and I gave each other a glance knowing exactly what to do. I slowly snuck up to her desk before flicking her head
"Boooo"
I cued as she flinched releasing a loud shriek making me put a hand over her mouth before anyone could hear her.

"Hey, hey don't yell. It's me."
I whisper taking my hand away from her warm face

"That's reason enough for me to yell! What's it with you supernaturals always wanting to sneak up on me."
She grumbles with furrowed brows

"Ahaha isn't it the job of a ghost to spook people~"
I smile wiggling my hands creepily

"Plus I'll need you to do something!"
Upon hearing that Yashiro frowned

"You aren't going to make me do something horrible are you?"
She asked concerned, making a smile appear on my cheeks

"Nooo! Why would I ever do that~ I just need you to hand a letter to Akane as soon as Teru isn't with him anymore. "
I explain as she continued to give me a mistrusting look

"Do I have a choice?"
She asks making me shake my head in reply.

After that Mint and I started writing a letter for Akane. Threatening him to do as I say if he didn't want us to make Aoi fall for Teru with the help of a love potion. We also made sure to clearly advise for the letter to be destroyed after reading, preferably burned and for him to not say anything about me or this letter.

Yashiro quickly folded an envelope for us as we wrote. I made sure to not let her read any of it. Finally, it was done and we handed it to Yashiro who sealed the envelope with a piece of washi tape.

It was clear that Yashiro understood that we were threatening Akane however she knew she couldn't do anything about it. Not knowing that we were putting her best friend at risk she held the letter refraining from reading it.

My sleepiness was immediately ripped out of me as we heard footsteps pass the classroom. Ducking down to not be seen through the window I caught a quick glance of blond hair, Teru must have finally left.

The footsteps soon faded out of hearing range making Yahiro leave the classroom. As she did Akane too entered the hallway his phone pressed against his ear.

I observed from the classroom as Mint who wasn't one of the fastest and sneakiest Mokke for nothing went to the end of the hallway to warn us in case Teru came back.

Akane didn't say anything as he continued to listen to the caller while leaning against the wall.

Yashiro approached him nervously, my anxiety rising with the second. Something didn't feel right I realized as a discomforting shudder ran down my back.

"Uhh, um Akane?"
She mumbled as Akane looked at her bored still on a call with someone.

Awkwardly fumbling in her pocket she pulled out the letter
"This is for you but don't misunderstand! This letter isn't from me."

"Alright, they are here."
Akane finally spoke. It took me a second to understand the meaning of the sentence but as it slowly became clear my body started breaking out in a cold sweat, this was a trap.
