Vol. 2 - Chapter 3: Rhythms in Life

Behind the Hills of the Ministry of San Juan

"Ready begin!"

(BBBBBBBOOOMMM CCRRRAAASSSHHHH)

Kasumi and Uriel charge at the same time clashing their sword with great force.

"What power…." Carlos says as wind blows everywhere causing everyone to panic.

The force causes Kasumi and Uriel to separate and jump back in a blink of an eye.

Kasumi charges first and swings her blade to attack Uriel. Uriel notices her speed and dodges the blade. Kasumi attacks once again making Uriel dodge one more time.

She jumps into the air and charges downward toward Uriel pointing her blade at him. Uriel dodges it causing the blade to hit the ground cracking it in several points.

(BOOOOOOMMMMM)

Kasumi attacks once again clashing with Uriel' sword this time causing a hard wind to blow over the area once again. Kasumi proceeds to kick Uriel's stomach sending him flying.

Uriel manages to stop himself, but with one knee in the ground. He breathes heavily saying:

"This girl is strong and fast, I must keep my distance."

"Take this serious, Uriel!" Kasumi yells with an angry face. Uriel stands up and holds his sword with both hands ready to fight.

Uriel charges at her and swings his sword but Katsumi dodges him. She swings her sword and manages to slash Uriel's arm making a small cut.

(DRIP,DRIP,DRIP, DROP, DROP)

Blood begins to come out of Uriel.

"What was that?" Tiwa asks looking surprised.

"That was Senpai's speed, you see she is not only strong but quick. Your friend doesn't know what he has gone into…"

Katsumi looks at Uriel with anger and says:

"If you don't take it serious, I'm going to kill you."

She begins to jump back distancing herself from Uriel. Rosa and Jairo look at her smiling:

"Kasumi is enjoying herself…"

Shion looks at the fight thinking:

"Senpai looks so cool, I want to be just like her one day…"

They continue to clash swords at great speed making the sisters and Alejandro hard to follow with their eyes.

Uriel jumps into the air, he points the sword down and falls straight at Kasumi, Kasumi dodges the attack and kicks Uriel once again.

"I think it's time to show you that I am serious…"

"Your friend is done for..." Carlos says to Tiwa and Alejandro with a confident expression.

Kasumi slowly begins to take off her glasses. She raises her head and looks at Uriel with a serious expression

Allan who is watching them fight begins to say:

"She is taking it seriously now. She wants to kill Uriel"

Kasumi slashes into the air making several small orange lights appear in the air. The balls of manna take shape of small birds. Kasumi makes a hand sign with her right hand, two fingers coming out like a ninja and says:

" Dangan no tori" (Translates: Bullet birds)

The small light birds begin to charge straight at Uriel. Uriel begins to slash the birds to connect at some; however there were to many that they begin to hit Uriel causing a huge explosion.

(CRAAAASSSSHHHH,BOOOOOOMMM)

"UUUUUURRRRIIIIIEEEELLL!!!!!!!" Fabiola screams out of fear as she sees Uriel fall to the ground.

"Do you think he is alright, he did take a huge hit." Mariana says to Abril. Fabiola turns around with tears and says:

"Don't say that, he is alright."

At the battlefield Uriel is laying at the ground as he thinks:

"Damn this is no good, she really wants to kill me. Come one focus you bastard or you will die."

Uriel stands up once again breathing heavily. Kasumi, who has serious eyes, charges straight at him, clashing one more time. She keeps attacking Uriel multiple times. Uriel only defends himself thinking:

"I guess I have no choice but to get serious myself…"

Kasumi strikes, making Uriel be out of balance and kicks one more time. This time Uriel is sent flying to the barrier causing him to electrify himself.

(CRAAAASSSHHHHHH)

"AAAAHHHHHHH" Uriel begins to feel pain. The three girls close their eyes because of the fear.

"UUURRIIIEELLLLL" Alejandro screams. Carlos smiles thinking:

"That's check mate…"

Katsumi says to him; "It's over!"

She charges at him once again to finish the duel.

At that moment Uriel finally begins to remember a lesson he had with Juan 4 years ago.

*******************************************

October, 4 years ago; Jungle of Jalisco

(CRRRRRAAASSSSHHHH,BBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM)

Huge explosions are heard deep in the jungle of Jalisco and only wind and dust blowed hard causing the birds and animals to flee from the place.

(BOOOOOMMMM)

An explosion caused a tree to fall down creating a smokescreen. Suddenly, Uriel comes flying out of the smokescreen and clashes in a tree. Juan comes out walking with his sword.

The sword is the same as Uriel's, the only difference is the hilt that is golden color.

"Come on muchacho focus, I'm wasting my time with you, come on!!!"

Juan says to Uriel who is lying down on a tree branch. Uriel gets up breathing heavily and with blood coming out of his forehead.

"Remember this muchacho, "Life is full of Songs", you must always here the rhythms of the things surrounding you. Music is very important for us "Charros" that is why I thought you how to play guitar."

Juan says to Uriel as he charges once again.

Juan swings his sword and at that moment Uriel begins to hear a sound coming from the sword. The sound was similar to a guitar chord.

"I can hear the sound!" Uriel screams as he blocks Juan's attack with his own sword; but he is sent flying back at the tree.

"Good Muchacho, you heard my sword now remember the sound and try to predict my movements." Juan begins to attack Uriel multiple times with Uriel thinking of the sounds he is hearing.

"Come on focus, this sounds are guitar chords, yes I got it, now to identify the circle." Uriel thinks to himself as he continues to dodge Juan's attack. Suddenly Uriel blocks one of the attacks and counters it.

(BOOOOM, BOOOOM)

"Good Muchacho." Juan says to Uriel as he is breathing heavily.

"I see you are not as dumb as you look Uriel" Alexa tells Uriel as she walks to them. She continues to explain:

"Remember the chords sequences that Juan thought you in the guitar and apply it into battle, that way you will predict the enemy's movements and find a way to counter attack."

Juan charges at Uriel one final time and says: "Get ready."

Uriel imagines a chord sequence in Juan's movements and begins to counter him until he defeats Juan by getting his sword.

Juan smiles and says: "Good Muchacho, now imagine your favorite song in the guitar and turn it into a special technique. Remember that these techniques are only 20% manna and 80% of body strength. That is why you trained your body for 1 year."

Uriel looks at Alexa and says: "Thank you."

Alexa looks away very angry and says:

"Shut up, I only did it because I want my Father to help me as well." Uriel sighs and Juan laughs.

*******************************************************

A constant clash exchanges throughout the battlefield. Everyone observes with nervousness and excitement as the two continue clashing swords.

Uriel's eyes slowly turn into a reddish color as he says; "Arte del Mariachi" (Mariachi Art)

Uriel begins to hear Kasumi's movements similar to a guitar chord. Images of him playing a guitar begin to flow in his mind as he watches Kasumi´s movement closely.

When Katsumi slashes to the right Uriel hears the chord: "DO" ( C). When Katsumi slashes to the left Uriel hears the chord: "Lam" (Am). She slashes upward Uriel hears: "Rem" ( Dm). Finally Katsumi slashes downward Uriel hears: "Sol 7" (G7).

"I know the chord sequence of the sounds, this is the chord sequence of "DO" ( C) and she keeps repeating it each time, if I calculate correctly the next movement will "DO" (C)."

Uriel thinks in his head and watches the movements of Kasumi as she repeats the movement to the right. Uriel smiles, blocking Kasumi's movement, making her fall back.

"What's going with Senpai, it's like her movements are getting slower." Chelsea says as she licks her lollipop.

"It can't be, Senpai is the strongest…" Carlos looks very nervous.

Kasumi breathes heavily as she knows she's reaching her limit. She smiles at Uriel saying:

"Wow, this is the first time in a long time since I had competition like this. But I'm going to finish this now."

Kasumi begins to slash the air five times creating multiple orange lights surrounding Uriel. The lights take form of birds, Kasumi makes a hand sign saying:

"Tori no dangan: Sen" (Translates: Bird Bullets: One thousand)

Kasumi looks at Uriel and says:

"Well try to avoid this."

Uriel smiles at her saying:

"You're highly skilled, you know that..."

He takes a deep breath as begins to remember Juan's words about the rhythm of the life. The bullets begin to head straight at Uriel. The three girls close their eyes in sign of fear.

Uriel bends his knees, takes a deep breath, and concentrates his energy in only the ears to hear the sound as everything goes black in his mind. He begins to twist a little bit his body with his blade up and begins to spin at high speed saying:

"Arte del Mariachi: Canción de la Luna- Primera Estrofa: Luna Nueva"

(Translates: Mariachi Art: Song of the Moon- First Stanza: New Moon)

Wind begins to blow at fast speed. Uriel's blade releases black manna creating a small dome around him representing a "New Moon."

(BOOOOMMMM, BOOOOMMMM)

The bird bullets clashes with the orb disappearing instantly. The thousand bullets were defeated by Uriel's attack. Kasumi is surprised by Uriel's attack.

"WOOOOW HE'S SO COOL!" The two girls scream. Fabiola hits their heads saying "Shut up" but thinking inside: "Yes he looks cool"

Allan says; "Yes this is the guy we are looking for."

Kasumi holds her sword up and lifts it preparing to make a downward slash. Uriel concentrates his energy to his legs and appears in front of Kasumi without noticing him, Uriel holds his sword down preparing to make an upward slash and says:

"Cancion de la Luna- Segunda Estrofa: Cuarto Cresciente."

(Translates: Song of the Moon- Second Stanza: First Quater Crescent)

Uriel slashes upward but at the moment he's about to make contact with Katsumi's sword, the sword releases a gray manna.

Uriel turns the blade of the sword from its pointy part to the flat part of the blade. The swing of the sword makes the shape of the moon.

(Swwwwiiiiiinnnnnggggggg)

Uriel hits Kasumi's bottom part of the hilt causing it to fly away from Katsumi landing a few meters behind her. Kasumi begins to fall backwards, but Uriel holds her from her hip and lifts her up and gets in a tango position. Uriel points at her with a sword saying:

"I WIN"

There is silence in the air. No one believes in what they are seeing.

Allan is satisfied with the match's result and he lifts his arm and says:

"The match is over, the winner is Uriel"

(Clap, clap,clap, clap)

"Yeah, you did it, Uriel!" Alejandro screams with emotion.

"It can't be...Senpai lost?" Carlos says with a shocking expression.

"That boy has potential…" Jairo says with a smile with Rosa nodding in agreement.

"Splendid, that was awesome…" Father Clemente cheers with excitement, Sister Carolina only shakes her head feeling embarrassed for the Father's behavior.

The three girls applaud at Uriel, happy with the result. Uriel smiles at Kasumi who is blushing saying:

"Can you please let go of me, this is embarrassing."

Uriel makes his sword disappear and lifts her up saying; "I-I-I'm sorry"

Uriel turns around but before he walks away he says:

" You Are very strong, Ms. Miyazono, I like strong women…"

(BADUMP)

Kasumi blushes and falls to her knees. Shion runs to her aid.

"Senali, are you alright?"

"Y-Y-Yes, I'm alright…"

Allan looks at Uriel:

"These are the notes that your father left, in here, he describes his son with the same characteristics as you...that's why we knew...do you want me to give the to you?"

"No...the person who my father describes is dead...I am my own person but thank you for clarifying that…"

"Will you work with us?"

"Just this once, I will work with you…"

"Excellent, than I will await results…" Allan's hologram disappears.

"URIEL" Alejandro and Tiwa run to his side.

"What was that? It was as if you were dancing…" Tiwa asks Uriel, Uriel begins to walk as he says:

"That was my art, the Rhythm sense of life…"

In his office, Allan sits at his desk. A red haired woman enters the office and says:

"So is he with us?"

"Yes my dear he is willing to help us."

Allan says as he begins to write on the computer. The woman leaves a paper in his desk and says:

"Well, one of the four is better than none right." Allan nods at her in sign of agreement.

"I'm surprised he managed to beat one of our elite "Roots"

Allan says as he begins to read the paper.

************************************************

After the duel ended. Carlos, Chelsea, Jairo, and Shion decided to return home. Rosa stayed to help Carolina by preparing dinner for everyone. Uriel and Kasumi also help with the dinner. They were instructed to prepare "mole". The "Mole" consists of chicken bathed on a special chocolate sauce "Mole" and sometimes people from the southern regions of Mexico add spices to make it more delicious. Uriel and Kasumi have a small talk before dinner:

"You are very skilled in preparing rice Ms. Miyazono." Uriel says to Kasumi as she is stirring the rice.

"You think so, well your mother was the one who taught how to cook Mexican food." Kasumi says to Uriel as he stirs the sauce. He turns around and says:

"Wait, so how long have you known my mother and father?"

"Well around 15 years more or less." Katsumi replies as she begins to serve. She continues to explain:

"I came here from Japan as an order from my father when I was 11 years old. Your father was a full fledged member of Yydrasill at that time. He became my master, and he helped me learn the culture and language of this area. Your mother also welcomed me to your house, you were very little when we I met you and your siblings."

"I see, sorry but I can't remember…"

"Of course you don't, say, Uriel, is your family…"

"My father died that day, but my mother and siblings are alive...They are in Tapatio however, I haven't spoken to them for more than a year."

"I see, that's a relief…" Kasumi begins to shed a tear as she continues to speak:

"I always regretted not being able to help you that day, I know I was young but I know I could've helped my master somehow."

"Don't worry about it, it was fate that those events had to happen. On that night, Uriel Vazquez died...but Uriel Di Fiore was born…"

"I understand now…"

Uriel turns around to serve the plates and says;"So what is this Yggdrasill organization?"

"Well as Allan said before, we protect people from monsters and evil entities such as the one you encounter. I am a "Root" from the organization making me a leader if you put it in simple words. " Kasumi replies as she begins to serve the rice. Uriel begins to pass the plates with the "Mole" on it and asks:

"So what are these divisions you said before, how many are there?"

"Well the first division are the leaves, then the branches where Carlos and Chelsea belong. Then the trunks which are divided into the upper level where Rosa belongs and the lower level in which Jairo belongs to. We have "Elite Roots" which are the ones in charge of regions such as Allan Carter who is in charge of the American region but he is special. Finally we have the "Primary Roots" who are in charge of the whole organization. My father is one of them." Kasumi finishes the explanations as well as serving the plates.

In total they made 30 plates for all the staff members that live nearby. Uriel sees Kasumi and asks:

"Why did your father send you to this region?"

"Well its complicated, you see I…" Kasumi was answering the question when she suddenly stops as she has "flashes' ' of her past consisting of images of blood and fire.

Kasumi begins to shake and Uriel begins to say:

"I'm sorry that was too personal, please forgive me."

Katsumi comes to her senses and smiles at Uriel saying:

"Don't worry the past is the past right? Besides you don't remember yours either."

Uriel makes a small smile causing Kasumi to blush.

As the two smile at each other, Fabiola stands between them with a furious face clearing her throat and says:

"Sister Carolina asked if you were ready, and as I can see you are."

Uriel looks at her and says:

" Yes we're ready."

"Good I'll start serving the plates." Fabiola says as she smiles with a "red aura" coming out of her. Kasumi only smiles at her as Fabiola thought to herself:

"Why do you smile at me you witch"

The two sisters who were outside of the kitchen were whispering; "I think Fabiola is jealous, she must have fallen for Uriel, and this is fun."

************************************************************

Alejandro sits outside looking at the stars, suddenly, Rosa appears to talk to him:

"Hello Alejandro dear...I hope we can have a little chat…"

Alejandro looks at her and nods in agreement. Both of them look at the sky as Rosa begins to speak:

"Alejandro, I must apologize for not telling the truth but it was a secret…"

"I see, but you don't need to…"

"I do...you see, 5 years ago when I first met you, I immediately saw you as my child. I never had children because my husband died when we were young. He was an agent who was killed in the line of duty."

Rosa begins to cry as she continue to speak:

" I accepted to come here in order to forget about my husband and when I met you, I felt as if I could move on. I think of you as my son, and it breaks my heart seeing you angry at me, so please...forgive me…"

Alejandro doesn't say a word and walks forward.

"You know, I never met my parents, my sister is always busy, I haven't seen her in four years and I lost both of my grandparents. Then my friend disappeared from existence. I felt lonely and without hope. However, when I met you, you helped me stand up once again and continue pursuing my friend. You never left me alone and for that I thank you…"

Alejandro looks at Rosa and smiles:

"Yes, I felt anger for not telling me but I won't stay mad forever, please continue to watch over me, Ms. Gutierrez."

Rosa cries and hugs Alejandro tightly.

"Thank you Alejandro, it seems we both learned from each other…"

"Yeah, now let's go and eat…"

Both of them head to the dining hall and eat.

****************************************************************

In the Dining hall, Tiwa sits there feeling left out, Father Clemente sits in front of her and says:

"So, young child, I know you feel left out, but don't worry, you play an important role here…"

"Who said I feel that way, in fact I feel fine…" Tiwa says looking away blushing.

Father Clemente chuckles and replies:

"Young girl from Ysleta, I know that you and your ancestors will protect this land…"

"HHmmmpphhh, of course I will…."

Everyone eats dinner at the dining hall. After the finish eating, the three sisters and Father Clemente decided to go to bed. In the dining hall, Uriel, Alejandro, Tiwa, Rosa, Kasumi and Sister Carolina have a conversation:

Kasumi stands up and says:

"Well now that we are going to work together, I will inform you about the situation we are in. The monster we encounter the other night is the legendary "Chupacabras."

Kasumi continues with the explanation: "The Chupacabras is also known as "Ales" and it is a mythical creature that roams around the central and southern part of the American continent. It was created by one of the 5 great witches: Isabella."

Tiwa and Carolina make a surprised face as they learned about the witch's name:

"Isabella the Witch of Red?"

"Yes that Isabella however, we don't know much about her, only that she lives in the center of Mexico."

Uriel begins to remember that name from Juan de la Trinidad who mentioned her many times before. He sits down looking at Kasumi and says:

"Please continue with your explanation" Katsumi nods and replies:

"That monster is controlled by "El Muerto", the Chupacabras is a type of monster that only attacks animals to feed itself; however when "El Muerto" appeared 6 months ago, the monster began to attack humans."

"That explains why it was targeting everyone in sight…" Alejandro thinks out loud.

"So we need to stop this monster, however, when would it strike?" Tiwa asks Kasumi and she replies:

"Well the attacks have been happening more constantly. At first it was one or two per week. Now the numbers went up to 5-6 people this week."

"So the monster is attacking every night?" Carolina says with a worried face.

"Yes but the problem is that I don't know at which location." Katsumi replies, making the others feel worried. Uriel closes his eyes to think. He opens them again and says:

"Very well, starting on Monday, we will begin to investigate who El Muerto is."

Kasumi nods and says: " I think it has to do with Darius."

Uriel gets mad as he knows that Darius is his target. Alejandro stands up saying:

"So it had to be him huh...Uriel, if that's the case, then I will investigate Aleister."

"I don't think that's a good idea...Aleister hates you and he will not cooperate…"

Alejandro looks at Uriel with a serious expression; "Trust me on this one pal…"

Uriel sighs and replies; "Very well…."

Kasumi looks at Uriel and says: "I will investigate Olivia to see if she has something to do with this."

Uriel nods in agreement. Tiwa stands up with excitement and says:

"ALRIGHT, ON MONDAY, WE WILL KNOW WHO EL MUERTO IS…"

Uriel walked outside to see the stars:

Uriel and Kasumi stand outside. Kasumi looks at Uriel and aks:

"Hey, Uriel, what did you mean about having a rhythm?"

Uriel extends his finger and slowly moves it down, Kasumi begins to hear guitar strings. Suddenly, musical symbols begin to appear in the air.

-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-

Uriel begins to play the strings as if he was playing a guitar. The musical notes float around the Ministry with many colors.

"You see, everyone has a rhythm, even manna is made of rhythm, what I am playing now is the rhythm of my soul…" Uriel explains to Kasumi as is in Awe for what she is seeing.

"Wow, so pretty" the girls who are in their bedroom say as they see the notes floating outside the window.

"Incredible, I have never seen something like this…" Tiwa says as she and Alejandro walk outside.

"Uriel, you are full of surprises…" Alejandro says with a smile.

"Maria, your son has pure heart…" Sister Carolina says as she looks at Uriel.

"So what do you think, Ms. Miyazono, did I answer your question?"

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Kasumi blushes and turns her head.

"Y-Y-Yes, you answer it…"

Kasumi touches her chest thinking; "What is this sensation? My heart keeps pounding non stop…"

Uriel stops playing as he begins to walk forward:

"You see, that is the rhythm of life...my master taught it to me...and that's how I will live on, by hearing these rhythms…"

Uriel turns to look at Kasumi. She feels pain in her chest, she smiles as she knows what is happening to her:

"I understand...This feeling is…."

************************************************

During that same evening, on Marjorie's mansion, three girls have a sleepover:

A beautiful girl with orange hair and glasses, she is wearing orange pajamas and eats ice cream with two other girls.

"My first kiss?"

The girls stops eating and puts a gross face as she remembers a chubby boy.

"Well, that's something I don't like to remember but his name was Fernando?"

"Fernando?" The girls that are next to her ask.

"Yeah, it was when I went to Spain with my dad...But I don't like to talk about it…" The girl trembles, the other two laugh at her.

"Now tell me Marjorie...who was your first kiss? Was it Aleister?"

A beautiful girl with silver hair and blue eyes, she has black pajamas as she blushes putting her pillow covering her face.

"Well no, in fact, it was with someone else?"

"Really? With who?" The girl with the glasses asks excited. Marjorie tries to remember but her memory is fuzzy.

"I can't remember, only that he had blue hair….what about you Angela?"

A girl with black hair and purple eyes who is wearing blue pajamas says with a shy voice:

" I haven't kissed anyone yet...I am not like you Victoria…"

"What do you mean by that?" Victoria puffs her cheeks causing Marjorie to laugh.

"Well, who do want to have your first kiss with?"

Angela thinks of Alejandro and blushes, she turns away saying:

"I can't say…"

Victoria sighs, she remembers Marjorie's words and she begins to say:

"Speaking of blue hair. So, like, I think Uriel is a real hottie….Don't you think so Marjorie?"

"Well he is handsome, plus I haven't thanked him properly for saving me the other day…Victoria"

"Aww, I wish it would have been me, I bet he has muscular arms right? Plus, that scar on his face makes him look so wild…" Victoria says with a luxurious tone.

Angela thinks about Uriel; "You know, I heard he is skilled with his guitar and good at sports…"

"Angela don't tell me you like him too?" Marjorie asks Angela, Angela turns red and looks away.

"That does it...I decided to make him my boyfriend…" Victoria says with determination.

"What?" Marjorie and Angela look at Victoria surprised.

"Well, I don't think I would have a problem, I mean I'm a hot babe with huge boobs...no one can resist my charms."

"Hey, that's not fair…" Angela says puffing her cheeks.

"She's right, we promised that if we liked the same guy, we would compete." Marjorie exclaims to Victoria.

"Hhmmpphh...I recall you already have a boyfriend Marjorie…"

"Yeah but…"

"Then you shouldn't be making the moves with someone if you are already taken…"

Marjorie is left speechless, she lowers her head, Angela stands up saying:

"Marjorie has the same right as us, she is not married to Aleister so there is no harm in trying…"

Marjorie looks Angela, she smiles and says:

"Thank you…"

"Alright, then the code says, we will compete to see who will Uriel choose…"

"We agree…" The three girls put their hands together as a sign of a pact.

(RRRIIINNNGGGG)

Victoria's cellphone rings.

"Hello?"

"Mi niña, I will work late tonight, please stay safe, I will pick you up tomorrow morning…"

"Okay papa, please take care...stay safe…"

Victoria hangs up and she has a worried expression.

"Is your dad going to work? I heard that all of his team died the other night…" Marjorie says with a worried expression.

"That's right, he said he was saved by a young man...I wonder who it was?"

Victoria changes her expression to a fake smile:

"Well, let's change the subject, and sing some karaoke…"

"Okay…"

The girls sang karaoke all night...

************************************************

February 4th; Sun City International Highschool

The next Monday, everything went as planned...Everyone did their normal lives as if nothing happened on Saturday. However, as the last period ended, the Historical Research Association began to investigate.

"Good afternoon Principal Lucifugus, how are you?" Kasumi asks Olivia with a smile.

Olivia with a suspicious face looks at her and says:

"I'm doing well child."

Kasumi sits down and says:

"It's been a long time since we spoke casually, so I wanted to know what was happening in your life?"

Olivia begins to read a paper, pretending she did not hear Kasumi and says:

" I don't know what you're planning Kasumi , but this is not like you."

"W-W-Well I'm not doing anything, I just wanted to know more like if you have any children?"

Kasumi asks nervously to Olivia. Olivia finishes reading the paper, looks at Kasumi and replies:

"Well if you want to know I have one son and one daughter and they both study in this school."

Kasumi acts like she's surprise and says:

"Seriously and who is your son?"

"None of your business Kasumi , now you may leave because I'm busy."

Olivia replies to Kasumi as she reads her paper once again. Katsumi feels bad for Olivia's answer and says:

"Sorry to bother you, I'm going now."

Kasumi leaves the office shutting the door. Olivia thinks to herself:

"That girl is very suspicious; I bet Yygdrassill is on to Darius. I must tell him."

Kasumi walks disappointed as she feels a rock falls on top of her saying:

"Failure…"

Kasumi's attempt to find information….ended in a failure….

*******************************************************

Meanwhile, Alejandro tries to gather information from Aleister:

"Hey Aleister, can we talk for a second?" Alejandro stands outside the Student Council. Everyone in the student council glares at Alejandro.

"Be careful Aleister, Alejandro might want to hit you again…" Victoria jokes with Aleister. Alejandro laughs nervously, Marjorie looks at Victoria with anger:

"That was not nice Victoria…"

"Marjorie…" Alejandro looks at Marjorie, Marjorie avoids looking at Alejandro as she remembers what happened the other day.

Aleister sees Marjorie and kisses her saying:

"I'll see you later dear."

He sees Alejandro who has a serious face and smiles knowing he madeA. Alejandro is jealous.

Aleister walks outside and closes the door. He looks at Alejandro and asks:

"So, what did you want to ask me?"

Alejandro trying to act calm, but he is nervous asks:

"I wanted to ask you...uhhmmm…"

Aleister notices that he is nervous and begins to say:

"Did you want to ask about my father, about my mother, about the Chupacabras or how well Marjorie kisses?"

Alejandro gets angry; "What did you say?"

"I must say that she is a really good kisser...it's too bad that she chosed me and not you…"

"Damn you…" Alejandro is about to walk forward but he stands still thinking:

"Wait, you promised Uriel, that you wouldn't lose control…"

Alejandro takes a deep breath and makes a fake smile:

"No, I just wanted to ask about the attacks on Rio Grande City. You know I like supernatural stuff, and since your dad is the mayor of Sun City, perhaps he might know something?"

-TCH- "You're no fun at all...I don't know or care about that so do a favor and don't talk to me again and stay away from Marjorie…"

Aleister enters the room and closes the door. Alejandro takes a deep breath and walks slowly away from the student council.

(BBBOOMM)

He hits the wall with his left hand.

"Damn it, I can't stand that bastard…"

Aleister sits on his desk as he thinks:

"So, the information was accurate. Alejandro and those idiots from Yggdrasil are making a move. Well then, I think I will play with them today…"

Marjorie touches Aleister's shoulder asking:

"Is everything okay?"

Aleister smiles and replies; "Yes, everything is fine…"

***************************************

Uriel decided to wait if there were any results on Kasumi's and Alejandro's investigation so he decided to step back. However, Uriel was about to face a new problem:

Uriel walks down the stairs reading a book, suddenly, Marjorie passes by without putting attention.

(BBBBOOOOMMM)

"Ouch!!" Marjorie falls, Uriel notices Marjorie and helps her get up.

"I'm sorry, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't watch where I was going…" Marjorie stands up with the help of Uriel. She looks at Uriel and opens her eyes wider.

"Uriel, I didn't notice it was you?" Marjorie asks nervously; "So, how've you been?"

Uriel amazed by her beauty feels his heart beat raising; "I-I-I've been doing well, and you?"

"I've been doing great, so, I've noticed that you made a new club with Alejandro and Tiwa."

"Yeah, the Historical Research Association."

"That sounds nice, I must say, thank you for being with Alejandro, he could be a little…bit weird...you know if you want, you can come and hang out with Aleister and me sometimes..."

Uriel sighs with his eyes close and thinks:

"I see, so you are under Aleister's influence."

He looks at Marjorie and turns around; "I'm sorry, but Marjorie, Alejandro is a normal person, the ones who are wrong are you guys…"

"Oh….I see…"

Marjorie is left speechless, Uriel begins to walk away, suddenly a girl with large breast and orange hair runs towards him:

"UUURRRIIEELLL"

Victoria runs and hugs Uriel, Marjorie gets jealous and Uriel looks at her thinking; "Oh great another problem."

"Hey, I was wondering if you could help me with some math problems from our class…"

"Denied, I'm sorry but I am busy today…"

Uriel begins to walk away from her; "HEY WAIT...I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU…"

"But I don't want to talk to you…" Uriel continues to walk away. Marjorie walks closer to Victoria.

"Are you alright Victoria?"

"That was the first time I got rejected...but I don't feel bad about it...in fact…"

Marjorie is surprised as she looks at Victoria blushing.
