Vol. 3- Chapter 2.5: My Little Sister

Sun City International High School

Kasumi and Shion head towards the HISTOREA club room:

"Senpai, are you alright?" Shion asks Kasumi, Kasumi has a worried expression as she thinks:

"Did I underestimate Olivia?"

"Senpai?"

"Shion, we need to make a plan, if Olivia's words are true, then everyone is in danger…"

"Right…"

Kasumi and Shion arrive at the room, Kasumi opens the door and sees her students and Valerie in the room.

"Oh, Senpai...there you are...where were you at lunch time?" Chelsea asks as she and Valerie are eating cookies. Kasumi looks at Valerie and makes a fake smile:

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

Valerie points to herself acting clueless, Kasumi nods in agreement as she smiles with her eyes closed. Valerie smiles and replies:

"My name is Valerie, Uriel asked me to come here…"

"Uriel asked her?" Kasumi thinks to herself in shock. Kasumi looks at Uriel and asks:

"Uriel, may I ask why did you bring her here? I am afraid I need to ask her to leave.."

"Aww, no fair, I want to be with Uriel…" Valerie runs and hugs Uriel's arm. Kasumi gets angrier.

"Valerie, you're too close…" Uriel pushes her back. Carlos cries out "blood" thinking:

"Oh man, I'm so jealous."

"Uriel...I don't know why you brought her here, but your girlfriend needs to go right now!" Kasumi has an irritated expression.

"She's not my girlfriend, she is my…"

Valerie laughs, causing Kasumi to ask; "What's so funny? I am giving you an order as a teacher…"

Valerie stops laughing; "I am glad you have people like Ms. Miyazono who cares about you, Big Brother…"

"BIG BROTHER!!!" Kasumi, Shion, Chelsea and Carlos say at the same time in a surprised manner. 

"That's right...I am Valerie Di Fiore...Uriel's younger sister...nice to meet you…"

Kasumi feels as if a "rock" hits her back that says; "LOSER." 

"Oh, so that explains some things...nice to meet you Valerie…" Chelsea nods with a smile. Carlos looks nervous as he thinks:

"Man, she's so pretty…"

"Hey, back off man, I saw her first…" Alejandro clashes with Carlos as both of them stare at each other. Shion walks forward:

"I am Shion Saito, the secretary of this school...we met before but I wanted to introduce myself properly…"

"It's a pleasure…" Valerie looks at Kasumi and makes a smirk thinking; "So, she definitely has a crush on my brother" 

Valerie looks at Kasumi who is embarrassed and smiles:

"It's a pleasure Ms. Miyazono…"

Kasumi bows her head and apologizes; "I'm sorry for being so rude...I am Kasumi Miyazono, I am the teacher in charge of the HISTOREA club."

Valerie gets closer and teases Kasumi; "My brother is hot right? If I were you, I would make my move quickly because the nurse also wants to seduce him…"

"Ehh?" Kasumi gets mad as she thinks; "Johanna, you witch?"

Uriel clears his throat and begins to explain; " Now then, let's begin...apparently, Tiwa will arrive later but we need to speak about our current situation, referring to Alejandro…"

Kasumi and Shion look at Alejandro with bandages and ask; "Alejandro, what happened to you?"

Uriel decided to explain the situation to Kasumi and Shion. He explained how Alejandro was brutally beaten by Ian, and the plan they have with Valerie.

"I see..So basically, Valerie is going to be Alejandro's partner? But Uriel, is it okay to explain to your sister what is happening? Even involving her?"

"Of course, Valerie is someone that I trust...and I know that she is going to be useful…"

"Aww, thank you Big Brother…" Valerie gets closer to Uriel, making Kasumi jealous.

"Well I don't…" Carlos stands up with a serious expression; " We from Yggdrasil are more than capable of handling this situation...Kasumi Senpai, I think letting this weak girl help us will only be more trouble…"

"Weak?" Valerie gets angry, she walks towards Carlos and with a raging smile:

"You think I'm weak huh...well then how about we settle things with a duel…"

Carlos chuckles; " I'm not going to fight a girl…"

"Carlos that's enough…" Kasumi tries to cool things off but Uriel stops her.

"We are not going to fight…" Valerie sits on the big desk and raises her arm; "We are going to arm wrestle"

"Arm wrestle?" Carlos asks with a joking tone.

"That's right...simple, we arm wrestle, if you win, I'll leave and if I win, I will join in your operation...do you agree or are you a chicken?"

"Chicken?" Carlos sits on the other side and puts his arm into position to wrestle; "I am not a chicken but don't cry when you lose…"

"I won't…Alejandro please be the referee…" Both of them get into position. Alejandro gets in the middle:

"Okay…"

Chelsea whispers to Uriel; "Hey Uriel...is this okay. Aren't you worried?"

"Well, I am worried that she will overdo it…"

"Wait,what?" Chelsea looks confused.

The two of them are in position, Alejandro grabs both of their hands. 

"Ready...Go!" Alejandro lets go. The two of them begin to compete.

Carlos has the upper hand and begins to beat Valerie; "I got this in the bag…"

"Oh, do you? I think you are strong...however…" Carlos notices that Valerie's expression has changed into a more serious one, her eyes turned hollow and she is expressing a killing intent.

"What's with this chick?" Carlos gets nervous, suddenly, Valerie gets the upper hand and slowly begins to move their hands in her favor. Carlos struggles:

"Her physical strength is incredible…"

(PPPUUMM)

Valerie beats Carlos with her strength , breaking the desk, and makes Carlos fall. Alejandro lifts Valerie's arm:

"The winner is Valerie…"

"Woow, she's strong!" Chelsea looks surprised. "When it comes to brute strength, Valerie is stronger than me…but she overdid it and broke the desk" Uriel explains to Chelsea. 

Carlos lies on the ground thinking:

"She beat me...I thought she was weak...but…"

"That was fun...you are strong...we should arm wrestle again...some other time…" Valerie stretches her hand with a beautiful smile.

(BADUMP)

Carlos blushes; "Sure...why not?" He grabs her hand and stands up. Alejandro looks at him with killing intent:

"SHE´S MINE!!!"

"I guess the Di Fiore are really strong huh Senpai ?" Shion asks Kasumi. Kasumi nods in agreement; "She is...she must also be my Master´s daughter…"

Shion walks forward; "Now that you explained our situation, I will also say what happened during the faculty meeting…"

Kasumi begins to remember what happened during lunch…

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

During the lunch break, Kasumi has supposed to have a reunion at the faculty lounge…

"What's going on here?" Kasumi is in shock as she enters the room. The room is dark, all of the faculty members, except for Shion, are unconscious. At the end of the desk, Olivia sits next to someone who is standing next to her:

"Ahh, Kasumi, please take a seat…"

Kasumi sits next to Shion, Olivia begins to speak; "Now then, the reason why I decided to make everyone fall asleep was because of this…"

The person who is next to Olivia walks towards Kasumi and gives her a paper. 

The Person who is next to Olivia is the Vice-Principal called; Barbara Mora. She is a beautiful woman with blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. She is wearing office attire. She has a well developed body and curves. She is Olivia's servant as well.

Kasumi and Shion look at a torn up paper in the table that is written in blood, a letter that said:

Hear my warning, on Valentine's Dance, everyone will die...Sinners must be punished...

"Principal, why are you showing us this?" Kasumi asks as she and Shion look at it nervously. Olivia chuckles; "Kasumi, you and I know that this is your fault…"

"Why do you say that?"

"Simple...if Yggdrasil hadn't failed to kill the Shadow-tamer,then my school wouldn't be in danger...now the Shadow tamer is after my school and that makes me mad…"

"Who gave you this message?" Shion asks Olivia.

"We don't know...when Barabara arrived at the school this morning, that was on the school gates…"

"Unfortunately, I couldn't see who put it on but this is a problem…" Barbara replies to Kasumi, Olivia stands up and says:

"Kasumi, I know that you don't believe me, but I do care for my school and I don't want my students to perish...so I am going to leave this to you…"

-TCH- Kasumi and Shion look at eachother; "Very well, I…"

"I have one condition though...I don't know how you will do it, but you, Shion and your students who are involved with your group are forbidden to leave the building…"

"What?"

"You heard me...you are part of the school, therefore, you are not permitted to fight, that includes Uriel Di Fiore, Tiwa Smith and Alejandro Sanchez…" 

Olivia and Barbara begin to leave the room:

"Barbara will be there, she will keep a close eye on you...if you disobey then I will personally kill you…"

(BBBAAAADDDUUMMPPP)

Olivia releases a powerful mana in the room; "I'll be counting on you…"

Olivia leaves the room, Kasumi and Shion are left paralyzed as they know how strong Olivia is.

Shion takes a deep breath and looks at Kasumi:

"Senpai, what will we do?"

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

Back to the present…

"I understand the situation…" Uriel looks at Shion. He stands up and walks towards the window:

"So they will attack on the dance, that's perfect...I need to know what the Shadow tamer meant that day…"

"But Big Brother, how are you going to defend the school without leaving it…" Valerie asks Uriel. The room goes silent, as everyone tries to think of a solution.

(KNOCK KNOCK)

"Excuse me, is this the Historical Research Association?" A Beautiful girl with white skin and black hair enters the room, she has greenish tone eyes, Alejandro and Carlos admire her beauty.

"Y-Y-Yes this is the place... are you looking for someone specifically?" Alejandro asks the girl, the girl acts shy:

"Well, I am actually...looking for…" The girl points at Alejandro, Alejandro is in shock as he asks; "Me?"

Everyone is in shock, Uriel sighs with his eyes closed; "How long are you going to act, Tiwa?"

"TTTTIIIWWWAAA!!!" Everyone acts confused. The girl smiles "I´m sorry but I don´t what you´re talking about?"

Uriel smiles; "You may fool the others but not me…" The girl gets mad and suddenly transforms into Tiwa; "Ssshheessh Uriel, way to ruin my surprise…"

"Oh sorry…" Uriel apologizes as he does not understand. 

"WWWOOOWWWW THAT'S SO COOL!" Alejandro shouts with eyes full of enthusiasm, Kasumi walks forward and asks:

"Tiwa, what technique was that?" 

"That was my spirit Zuni, the coyote...with his help, I can transform into anyone I choose…" 

Tiwa makes the coyote appear; "Greetings, I am Zuni…"

"He's your familiar huh...impressive…"

Tiwa nods in agreement; " I want to help Alejandro, this is why I decided to use my spell and transform myself into another girl...genius huh?" Alejandro looks at Tiwa; "That's a great idea...however...I already have a date…"

Tiwa looks in shock; "WWWHHHAATTT?"

Valerie steps forward; "That's right...I'm his partner...Valerie…"

"Ehhh? And who is this girl? Why is she here?"

Uriel sighs and answers; "She's my sister...and she will help us in this operation…"

"HHHUUUHHH?"

Tiwa looks at Kasumi; "Teacher, can you explain the situation?"

Uriel walks towards Tiwa; "This is why I told you to come early...but...you just gave a great idea...and you will be vital for this operation…"

Everyone looks confused upon hearing Uriel's words.
