《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 24: Secret Identities part 3
Advertisement
Ever since the night of the attack, Kasumi has been avoiding both Alejandro and Uriel. She agreed to be an advisor but she hasn't been in the room for days...Now, Kasumi and Uriel walk in the hallway…
“So then, where are we going? Your office is the other way…” Uriel says as they walk down the hallway.
“Well I figure that it’s a nice day outside so I decided for us to go to the roof. There we can speak in peace.”
“Whatever you say...so, I wanted to ask how do you know who I was? We never even met before…” Kasumi gets nervous and tries to answer; “Well you see...I-I-I...can’t tell you that now...it’s embarrassing…”
Kasumi replies nervously.
“Okay...changing the subject, why have you been avoiding Alejandro and me lately…”
Kasumi sighs with her eyes closed as she responds; “Mr. Di Fiore, I would rather not speak until we are outside…”
Meanwhile, there is a conversation that it’s going on as Uriel and Kasumi climb the stairs…
“Hey, Senpai is going up, I hope you are in position…”
A girl who is licking a lollipop says as she lies on her stomach with a sniper rifle.The rifle consists of a small telescope lens, it has a pink color and black flames on the side.
The sun points down creating shadows that cover the girl’s face, only her pink eyes are shown as she looks through her lens.
“Yeah, yeah...I am in position, just concentrate okay…”
A boy who is in the shadows eating a chocolate bar. He is relaxing near a wall as the shadows cover his face, only his blue eyes are visible.
The door opens, Kasumi crosses the door as she continues to walk. Uriel also crosses the door. The door closes on its own.
"I see, we are surrounded by a forcefield…"
Uriel smiles, he continues to walk. The roof is surrounded by a rectangular green forcefield.
"Now then...since we are here..I have something to ask you…"
Kasumi turns around, she takes off her glasses. Kasumi looks at Uriel with a serious expression and asks:

"Uriel, were you the one who fought the Chupacabras the other night?"
Uriel chuckles thinking:
"Her personality changes the moment she takes off her glasses?"
Uriel looks at Kasumi replying:
"That's right...it was me…"
"So then, answer me another question; are you El Charro Negro?"
"There is no point of lying to you since you already know...Indeed, I am El Charro Negro…"
For an instant, there is a silence in the roof with wind blowing making the only sound. Kasumi makes a katana appear on her hand.
"Uriel Di Fiore, as you already notice, we are in a special force field that prevents anyone from noticing us…"
She draws her katana and points at Uriel.
"I have the mission to eliminate any hostile spirit...judging from your response, I might take action…now tell me; why are you here?"
"..." Uriel does not respond, he smiles at her first and replies:
"Kasumi, I have no obligation to answer your question...I know that you do not plan on letting me go."
Uriel walks close to the point that the katana points at the middle of his face.
"I know that there are others involved, one is behind me and the other is also in a building 2 blocks away…"
Kasumi opens her eyes wider thinking; " How did he know?"
Camouflaged, Jana the serpent observes everything as she asks:
“Mistress are you watching?”
Tiwa says with her eyes close:
“I do, stay hidden, I have a good view here…”
Tiwa is able to see everything thanks to her familiar ability. She is sitting at the table with Alejandro on her side.
“What do you see, come on, I want to see too…” Alejandro moves Tiwa around.
“Stop it, I can’t concentrate when you move me around like that…”
Tiwa puts her forehead together with Alejandro causing him to blush.
“Ahh… what are you doing?”
“Close your eyes and concentrate, you will be able to see too…”
Alejandro closes his eyes and begins to see Uriel with Kasumi.
“Incredible, so this is magic huh...using mana is amazing…”

“Shut up and concentrate…”
“Right, sorry…”
Meanwhile….
"How did that happen? We are using stealth mode…" The girl with the sniper rifle says nervously.
"Chelsea, I have no choice but to make my move…"
"Wait Carlos, we must wait for the signal…besides he is just bluffing...don’t worry"
-TCH-
“How do you know? Are you using magic?” Kasumi asks with suspicion.
“No, I just heard the “Rhythm” of your souls…”
“The Rhythm?”
“That’s right...I know that there are five others that are working with you judging from their rhythms...Shion is one of them…” Kasumi opens her eyes wider.
“That’s it...I’m going in…”
The boy behind on the other side of the wall releases his stealth mode making him visible. He is revealed to be a boy with black hair, white skin and blue eyes.
“Wait Carlos...the signal was not launched.”
Uriel notices Carlos charging at him. Uriel jumps back, away from Kasumi. Kasumi is surprised as she sees Carlos advancing:
“Carlos, that wasn't part of our plan…”
“I know, but I will dispose of him quickly…”
Carlos makes two kunai knives appear, and proceeds to attack Uriel.
“So you’re one of them…” Uriel, with great speed, kicks Carlos’ hand and sends the kunai to the air. As the kunai spins in the air, Carlos tries to attack with the kunai that’s on the other hand.
Suddenly, Uriel disappears from his sight…
“Where did he go…”
“Behind you…”
Uriel appears behind him, Chelsea, the girl who has a sniper rifle screams; “I got you…”
(BBBBUUUMMM)
She fires her rifle, the bullet travels at high speed aiming at Uriel. Uriel smiles, the kunai that was in the air falls at high speed, blocking the bullet.
Chelsea, surprised at what happened exclaims; “My bullet, how did he…”
Uriel grabs the kunai and throws it at Chelsea. The kunai passes next to Chelsea, leaving her in shock.
“He knew my location all along? He wasn’t bluffing at all…”
Uriel grabs Carlos’ hand with the kunai and with force makes him move it to his back and makes him point at himself. Uriel’s other hand grabs Carlos' neck.
Carlos who is in shock thinks:
“Was he that fast? I couldn’t read his movements at all…”
-TCH- “Kill me, I lost…”
Uriel chuckles; “And why would I do that? You’re someone who is not worth killing...besides…”
Uriel moves his eyes and notices that Kasumi is in a battle stance behind him ready to attack.
“She wouldn’t let me…”
“Uriel, let go of him or I will kill you…”
Uriel chuckles once again; “You sure are confident...relax...I won’t do anything...I was just about to let him go…” Kasumi notices that there is a lance made from the roof’s materials pointing at her stomach.
“Did he read my movements too? I must be careful…”
Uriel makes the lance disappear and lets Carlos go, he begins to walk away. Kasumi holds Carlos asking; “Carlos, are you alright?”
Carlos notices Kasumi’s breast next to him. He panics and exclaims:
“WWWAAAHHH’
He makes a small cough and responds:
“I’m alright, sorry senpai, he was just too fast…”
“I know, don’t worry...Chelsea, come back at once…”
“RIGHT…”
“Well, things got out of hand, but now that I know that you people are serious, I have a request for you…”
Kasumi looks at him confused; “What kind of request…”
“You see, we are being watched by people here...if we were to talk then everyone will notice...Come tomorrow morning to the ministry of San Juan and we will talk there…”
Carlos gets angry and exclaims; “Who do you think you are? Senpai don’t…”
“Very well, I will go tomorrow…” Kasumi accepts Uriel’s petition.
“No, I want the six of you to go...otherwise, I will have to hunt all of you down…” Uriel says with a serious expression as the sun sets creating a shadow on the roof.
“Uriel is dangerous, if I don’t do what he says, the whole mission will be at risk…”
Kasumi puts her glasses back on and replies; “Very well, I will bring my team tomorrow to the ministry…”
