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 will play an important role here…”

“Who said I feel that way, in fact I feel fine…” Tiwa looks 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….”

“Dinner is ready…” Sister Carolina informs the others with a big smile; “My, we have a lot of new people at the table...everyone, let’s pray for our dinner…”

Everyone eats dinner at the dining hall. After they finished 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 encountered 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?”

“That’s right... Isabella however, we don’t know much about her, only that she lives in Mexico.”

Uriel drinks water and comments:

“Please continue with your explanation”

Kasumi 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 a couple of 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 as fast as we can...the question is, when will the Chupacabras attack?”

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?” Sister Carolina asks with a worried face.

“You are correct, 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; “That’s a great plan, although it might have something to do with the Lucifugus...”

Uriel gets mad as he knows that Darius is his target; “So you know about them?”

“Of course, Darius Lucifugus is a dangerous man...however, he will not do anything at plain sight in fact...I think…”

Kasumi feels a shiver, she looks at Uriel with his crimson eyes feeling rage; “Hey...Uriel?”

“Enough, Uriel, I think you’re feeling a little too excited…” Father Clemente enters the dining hall and looks at Uriel. Uriel immediately apologizes as he calms down:

“I’m sorry…”

Father Clemente walks towards them; “You guys are forbidden to go near Darius Lucifugus...that man is way too dangerous for you...if you go there, you will be killed…”

“I know that Father, but still…” Uriel looks down feeling enraged. Alejandro sighs and stands up:

“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: “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:

“Do you mind if I join you?” Kasumi walks outside with him. 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 mana is made of rhythm, what I am playing now is the rhythm of my soul…” Uriel explains to Kasumi as she is astonished by 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 a 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, it's….”

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

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 girl stops eating and puts on 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 excitedly. 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 you 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 exclaims, 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 at Angela, she smiles and says:

“Thank you…”

“Alright, then the code says, we will compete to see who Uriel chooses…”

“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 replies:

“I’m doing well child.”

Kasumi sits down and tries to create a conversation:

“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:

“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 your free time and those kinds of stuff...or 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, aside from Aleister, I have one daughter and she also studies on this school.”

Kasumi acts like she’s surprise and says:

“Seriously and who is your daughter?”

“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 apologizes:

“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 onto Darius. I must tell him.”

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

“Failure…”

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