Sun City International High School:
A few minutes before...Uriel’s side…. The HISTOREA Club just finished talking to Aleister. After hearing Shion's news about Valerie...Uriel decided to search for her….
As Uriel heads down the stairs, he notices that Angela is waiting for him to ask him a question:
“H-H-Hello Uriel, I was wondering if I could talk to you...”
Uriel sighs, he is in a hurry but he doesn’t want Angela to feel bad.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“Well, I have a question about Algebra and I know that you are smart...so...could you..”
Angela makes puppy eyes, Uriel has no choice but to agree:
“Very well, I can help you on my way out as we walk in the hallway okay” Angela nods with joy.
Uriel and Angela walk in the hallway, Victoria walks towards them. She wears cheerleader outfit, she begins to frown and thinks to herself:
“That Angela she wants to take advantage of me, well I’m not going to lose”
Victoria runs towards Uriel and tackles him from behind. This surprises Uriel and Angela. Victoria makes a cute face and with a seductive tone:
“Uriel, I also have some doubts on the homework can you help me please”
Uriel thinks to himself; “Damn it, now of all times…”
Uriel sighs and agrees; “Of course, however I have some business to do so I’ll help you both while we walk to the exit.” Victoria nods with a smile.
Uriel answers the questions of Victoria and Angela while they approach the exit. However the two girls began to argue because they wanted Uriel’s attention. Meanwhile, Marjorie walks down the hallway as she thinks:
“Why did Uriel have that angry expression, did something happen? I asked Alesiter but he didn’t respond.”
At that moment, Marjorie sees Uriel accompanied by Victoria and Angela.
“Uriel…”
Marjorie puffs her cheeks and she begins to get jealous. She stands in front of them before Uriel reaches the exit and says with a big smile:
“What do you think you are doing girls? Aren’t you too close to him?”
Victoria and Angela begin to stare at Marjorie and Majorie returns the stare challenging them; “I won’t lose to you”
Uriel sighs with his eyes close, thinking:
“Valerie, where are you?”
At the same time… Valerie and Alejandro reach the front gate…
Wow, that was fun...thank you Alejandro…” Valerie says with a cute smile.

Alejandro’s face turns red and steam comes out from his head.
“Y-Y-You’re welcome…if you like...maybe we...”
“Wow, check out that cute chick…”
“Is she a student…”
“She’s hot…”
In a blink of an eye, Valerie is surrounded by boys.
“Where did Alejandro go?” Tiwa, Carlos and Chelsea decided to look for Alejandro.
“I don’t know, that guy sure is fast, when he runs away…” Carlos chuckles, Tiwa glares at him.
“Calm down, it was just a joke…”
“Hey guys, what’s the commotion over there…” Chelsea points at the group of boys at the front gate. At the same time, Uriel goes outside, he has the three girls fighting for him.
Kasumi, Shion and Johanna observe from the second floor. Kasumi is furious, Johanna looks at the group of boys and asks:
“What’s happening down there?”
In the group of boys outside the high school there was Valerie who was waiting for Uriel. Many of the boys were asking her out, and trying to get attention. Valerie only smiles, but in her mind she was furious at Uriel saying:
“This is annoying, where is my brother...”
“What’s happening over there?” Uriel and the girls stand next to the group of boys. Suddenly, Uriel opens his eyes wider, in the middle of the circle, Valerie notices Uriel.
“UUUUURRRRRIIIIIEEELLLL” Valerie passes all the boys and runs towards Uriel.
“Valerie…”
Valerie hugs Uriel, paralyzing everyone in the front yard.
“Uriel, I missed you so much…”
“Valerie, it’s been a long time…” Uriel hugs her back, and pats her head. He makes a sincere smile, the girls look at him with shock.
“Uhhmm...Uriel, who is she?” Marjorie asks Uriel with a worried expression.
Valerie sees the group of girls behind him and she begins to smile with a “sinister aura” behind her, thinking:
“This is going to be fun.”
“She is…”
“Shhhh…That’s a secret…” Valerie stops Uriel from revealing her identity by putting her finger on his lips, causing Marjorie to panic. Alejandro is in shock feeling jealous.
“Let’s go...They are waiting for us….” Valerie pulls Uriel from the arm and they begin to walk down the street. She hugs Uriel’s arm and begins to laugh.
“What’s so funny Valerie and why are you hugging me like this, it’s uncomfortable”
“Clueless as ever I see Uriel, don’t worry I’ll let go as soon as we turn to the next street.” Valerie chuckles to a clueless Uriel.

As soon as Valerie and Uriel disappear from their sights the whole school begins to talk because of the confusion believing that Uriel and Valerie are dating.
“This can’t be. She’s gorgeous even more than you Marjorie.” Victoria exclaims with sweat in her forehead.
“H-h-heyyy…” Marjorie exclaims.
“M-M-Maybe they are related?” Angela says with a low tone.
“Don’t be ridiculous you saw how Uriel smiled at her. DAAAAMMNNIITT” Victoria screams with the other girls talking about it as well.
“Uriel, that smile, it was so sincere…” Marjorie says feeling something in her heart.
“What just happened?” Tiwa asks Carlos and Chelsea, who look confused. Alejandro is in shock, he gets angry thinking:
“Uriel, you never mentioned you knew someone like her, Valerie never mentioned that...I see, I was being fooled…”
Alejandro decides to follow them; “I must know the truth…”
As soon as Alejandro turns to the corner, he sees that they are gone. He sees a paper that says; “Go to the Ministry…”
Alejandro destroys the paper and begins to run towards the Ministry; “ I must know the truth.”
On the second floor, Kasumi is “turned into stone” after seeing Uriel leaving with Valerie.
“That girl sure was pretty, do you think they are related or are they lovers?” Johanna teases Kasumi who is still a “stone”
“Senpai, get a hold of yourself, we need to finish our work…” Shion moves Kasumi’s shoulder trying to make her come to her senses.
“Uriel...is cheating on me...he is…”
Shion sighs with her eyes closed; “Senpai, you’re not dating him...please...this is embarrassing…”
“Fufufu….well then, I guess I will see you tomorrow, good luck Kasumi...Shion…” Johanna leaves the room, Kasumi screams of rage:
“Raaww...I need to learn the truth… and even if it means that I must go to war!”
“Flames” come out of Kasumi who is inspired, Shion feeling embarrassed shakes her head thinking:
“Senpai...again...this is embarrassing…”
******************************************************************************
Ministry of San Juan
Heading to the Ministry, Valerie and Uriel walked uphill….
The sun begins to set, Valerie walks alongside Uriel, Uriel carries many boxes and Valerie carries a paper bag filled with food.
“That sure was fun, right Uriel?” Valerie expresses her happiness
“Valerie, why are you here? Is Daniel here as well? I thought you two were in France...why did you come here?”
Valerie puffs her cheeks; “Sheesh, you ask too many questions, look we were in France until yesterday, Daniel is here too…you should be glad that we came here to see you”
“I see…” Uriel says without any expression, Valerie looks at Uriel’s scar and asks:
“Uriel, does your scar still hurt?”
Uriel touches his face, and makes a little smile; “Of course...but I got used to it, what about yours?
Valerie has a scar on her back, the claws of a beast in the upper part of her back. However, thanks to Maria, it is invincible on normal eyes.
“A little, but mine isn’t visible...I’m sorry…because of us...you…”
Uriel interrupts her by patting her head.
“Don’t worry about it...the most important thing is that you are alive…”
Valerie feels relieved and a tear comes out of her eye, she smiles:
“I think you look cool with that scar…”
“You think so?”
“Mmmhhmm…” Valerie nods in agreement.
“Here we are, Mama is waiting for you…” They arrive at the gates, Uriel stands still observing them.
“What’s wrong?” Valerie notices Uriel nervous. She makes a smirk and teases him:
“Oh, don’t tell me that you are scared of Mom, you took down the Chupacabras, a legendary monster and you are afraid of your own mom? Sheesh...you’re so lame…”
“It’s not that...it’s….”
"He's ashamed because he hasn't contacted mama for over a year and a half right?" Daniel walks towards them. Uriel looks at him, he makes a little smile:
"You've grown, Daniel…"
"Of course I did...and you look cooler, did you change your lotion or something…"
"Of course I did…" Uriel chuckles, both of them do a fist bump.
"Uriel let's go…" Valerie pulls from his arm, "Valerie, I can't…"
"Come on, Mama isn't mad at you…"
"Valerie, leave him alone, you’re feeling guilt...aren't you…" Daniel looks at Uriel, Uriel once again repeats:
"It's not that…"
"Then, are you just going to avoid her? You left without saying anything…"
"I know that and I am going to apologize but the reason is…" Uriel touches the forcefield:
“This holy barrier is not letting me enter”
Valerie and Daniel notice that and feel embarrassed; “Oh...right…”
