Vol. 2 - Chapter 3.5: Awkward Situations After School

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, and suddenly, Marjorie passes by without paying 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 rising; "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."

"Indeed, 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 Marjorie, but 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.

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

Uriel walks through the hallway preparing to leave….

"I wonder if Kasumi or Alejandro managed to gather information." Uriel crosses his arms, and closes his eyes thinking about what just happened. As he passes next to the janitor's closet an arm comes out and grabs Uriel pulling him inside the closet.

"Uriel, it's me…Kasumi…" Kasumi whispers in Uriel's ear.

"Yeah, I heard you, that's why I let myself be pulled here…" Uriel replies to Kasumi. Kasumi turns on the light. Kasumi and Uriel stand close to each other in a very confined space.. 

"Uriel did you find any information?" Kasumi asks Uriel as she holds his jacket. Uriel feeling embarrassed tries not to look at Kasumi's breasts:

"Unfortunately no, I had something else popping up. How about you?" Uriel asks Kasumi. She lowers her head and replies:

"Nothing either, Olivia did not say anything..." 

"I see...For now we must concentrate on the Chupacabras, do you have any clues?" Uriel asks Kasumi as he begins to sweat. The janitor's closet does not have enough air coming through.

"Well for the moment we need to wait, we still don't know when the monster will attack." Kasumi answers as she sweats as well, making Uriel uncomfortable. 

"By the way, why are we in the janitor's closet?" Uriel asks Kasumi as he rubs his forehead.

"Well we don't want anyone to see us talking so I figured this is the only place without cameras, and Olivia wouldn't suspect. Plus I altered the camera pointing in this direction." Kasumi answers as she rubs her forehead as well, she moves closer to Uriel as he begins to think:

"We're too close, it's been a while since I was this close to a woman." 

He replies to Kasumi:

"Well good thinking but next time let's meet up in a café please."

Kasumi realizes that their too close making her blush:

"You're right, good thinking, time to go." Kasumi tries to open the door but she trips with a mop making them fall.

(BOOOOOOOMMM)

Uriel falls to the ground and Kasumi lands on top of him. Both of them see each other and blush. The door suddenly opens:

"Oh wow...now this is unexpected…"

The janitor sees Uriel and Kasumi in that awkward position. He looks at them and laughs; "Sorry for the interruption"

The janitor closes the door. Uriel and Kasumi see each other and suddenly run after him. Kasumi runs in front of the janitor: 

"W-W-Wait it was a misunderstanding, please don't say anything."

The janitor smiles and replies:

"Well Olivia promised me a promotion if I told her these kinds of situations, so, No."

  Kasumi tries to stop him from advancing, Uriel puts his hands in the back of his head and chants:

"Memoria Perdida" ( Lost Memory)

A green light comes out of his head making the janitor stand still looking clueless:

"What was I doing?"

"Thank you for cleaning the coffee, I will try to be careful next time." Uriel comments to the janitor who is still confused. The janitor scratches his head and replies:

"You're welcome, I will go now." 

The janitor begins to walk outside.

"WHEEEEWWW" Kasumi feels relieved. Kasumi looks at Uriel and smiles:

  "That was very smart of you. Where did you learn that?"

"Thanks, I learned it from a friend..." Uriel replies, scratching his cheek. Uriel and Kasumi both agree to meet up at the cafe in one hour and Uriel takes off as Kasumi waves and smiles. She suddenly hears a whisper in her ear saying:

"That was a bold move you made, getting him in the closet, he sure is hot, right?." Johanna whispers to Kasumi making her to react nervously:

"N-N-No it was a misunderstanding, please don't say anything Johanna" 

Johanna Gomez (Age 20) is the highschool's division nurse. She wears a doctor's coat with a short skirt and a tight blouse. She has a well developed body, long straight black hair, white skin and blue eyes.

"If you don't make your move quickly, I will make my move Kasumi." Johanna winks at Kasumi. Kasumi frowns and exclaim:

"I-I-It's not like that and he's too young for us."

"I don't care, besides he's hot so I can make my move." Johanna replies as she laughs. She begins to walk but as she walks away:

"The Chupacabras will attack tomorrow night… At least that is what my superior said… You should do something, I won't because it is not my mission to take down monsters, now take your handsome partner and stop him. You owe me one okay... bye."

Johanna puts an invitation in Kasumi's hand that said:

Mayor Nathaniel Gonzalez' Banquet

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

Alejandro walks down the hallway…

"Oh man…I didn't get any information…" Alejandro feels down. As he walks down the hallway, someone appears in front of him:

"Oh…hello Alejandro…"

Alejandro sees Angela and smiles; "Oh hey Angela…I didn't notice you…how have you been?"

Angela walks close to him; "I'm doing well…but you know…I've been worried…because I've seen you covered in bandages…"

"Oh this…it's nothing…I just fell down the stairs…" Alejandro laughs nervously. Angela puffs her cheeks:

"That's not funny at all…you could really hurt yourself…"

Alejandro notices her upset; "I see…I'm sorry…" Angela gets closer to him; "Hey…Alejandro…"

"Y-Y-Yes…" Alejandro gets nervous as Angela grabs his left hand; "Do you feel pain…or something weird in your left hand? Do you still have that scar?"

Angela plays his hand, Alejandro gets nervous; "Uhm…Angela?"

(BBBAADDUUMMPP)

"What is this sensation? Why am I getting nervous?" Alejandro thinks to himself as he sees Angela eyes turning hollow:

"Oh yes…I like how your hand feels…it makes my body feel hot…"

"A-A-Angela?" Alejandro begins to sweat; "Why am I feeling scared of her?"

Angela licks her lips as she looks at Alejandro; "You sure are naughty boy Alejandro…going around with this dangerous object in your hand…"

(BBAADDUUMMPP)

Alejandro opens his eyes wider; "W-W-What did you say?"

Angela slowly moves Alejandro's hand and touches her breast. -BBBOOIINNGGG- "WWHHOOAAA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Alejandro panics as he squeezes one:

"Oh no…my hand is acting on its own…but I like it…"

"Oh you're so naughty…" Angela chuckles; "How would I like to cut this arm off…"

(BBAADUUMMPPP)

Alejandro takes a step back; "Angela…what are you talking about?" He notices a strange aura coming out of her. Angela lifts her arm; "One day…one day…I will…"

"ALEJANDRO!" Walking down the stairs, Tiwa notices Alejandro; "What are you doing?"

"Tiwa…we were just…" Alejandro turns around and notices Angela missing, he opens his eyes wider; "What the…where did she go?"

"Who are you talking about?" Tiwa looks at the empty hallway. Alejandro rubs his eyes; "I guess I am just imagining stuff…" Alejandro looks at his hand and moves it around:

"This sensation…it felt so real…"

Tiwa walks next to him; "Anyway…we must find Uriel and the others…" She looks at Alejandro distracted; "HEY ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!"

"Oh sorry…I guess my mind is off today…" Alejandro scratches his head. Tiwa crosses her arms:

"You know…my familiars did some investigation and I saw strange movements in the student council…especially those three girls…"

"You did…what did you see?" Alejandro grabs both of Tiwa's shoulders; "Tiwa gets nervous and avoids looking at him; "W-W-Well…Jana couldn't see much but I felt strange mana coming from it…I decided to keep my distance…"

"I see…" Alejandro lets go; "I guess…maybe what I saw was real…"

"Anyway…" Tiwa grabs his arm and pulls him; "Let's go find Uriel…" Both of them head to the exit. 

Behind them, Angela looks at them with a sinister smile; "One day…one day…you will be mine…"

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

Uriel walks outside to the meeting point. At that moment someone grabs Uriel's jacket and pulls him. Uriel turns around to see it was Marjorie who was pulling him...

"M-M-Marjorie, what a surprise...Do you need something?"

Marjorie is embarrassed, she looks at Uriel and whispers:

"U-U-Uriel can you walk me down the street, I need to talk to you about something."

While Uriel and Marjorie walk down the street Uriel asks Marjorie:

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

Marjorie looks spaced out, Uriel feels that she isn't listening. He touches Marjorie's shoulder, she reacts nervously.

"..." Marjorie avoids looking at Uriel. Uriel suspects about something and asks:

"Marjorie, is there something wrong with you? Please tell me what's going on."

Marjorie stops looking down, suddenly Marjorie looks at Uriel in this eyes:

"I wanted to apologize about what I said moments ago, I know that I did wrong,I'm sorry."

Uriel sighs with his eyes close:

"Marjorie, that's something that you need to talk about with Alejandro, not me..."

Marjorie lowers her head with her face red. She speaks to Uriel with a low tone:

"Thank you, I think that he sometimes may be a fool, but I have known him for a long time now and I know that you could trust him."

Uriel holds Marjorie's shoulder and claims:

"If you need to say something else just tell me okay."

Marjorie smiles; she puts a serious face afterward and conveys:

"The thing is I don't want to be Aleister's girlfriend anymore."

Uriel opens his eyes wider. Uriel asks with a serious tone:

"Why don't you want to be his girlfriend?"

"It's because lately all we do is fight for everything, but especially when he sees me talking to you or Alejandro." Marjorie makes a comment, Uriel begins to think:

"So that guy is a jealous type."

"I feel that it was my fault that Alejandro stopped talking to me...you know, he was my friend but I ruined it."

Marjorie begins to shed tears. 

(BBBAAADDUUUMMMPPP)

"What is this feeling? Seeing her cry…" Uriel thinks as he feels his heart beat faster.

"N-N-No, no it's not your fault; in fact I'm very happy you came because you look like the person I once lo…." 

Marjorie's face turns red as a tomato and steam comes out of her head as she looks down in embarrassment. Uriel sighs thinking; "What am I thinking here?"

Uriel apologizes; "I'm sorry"

Marjorie makes a little smile and replies; "Don't worry...Thank you!"

(HONK,HONK)

A black car arrives to pick up Marjorie, Marjorie looks at Uriel and says: "Well my butler is here, thank you for listening. I'll see you tomorrow."

Uriel waves as he sees Marjorie take off in the black car. He continues to walk home, however he looks back and says: "You can come out Aleister, I know you have been following us"

Aleister comes out from the corner and says; "Well you knew I was there since when?"

"Since the moment you were in your mother's womb." Uriel provokes Aleister with a menacing tone. Suddenly his cornea turns black, a powerful aura begins to come out. Aleister notices and takes a step back:

"You are a demon… Di Fiore, but I am not afraid so I will just say this once: Stay away from Marjorie or face the consequences, she is mine, and I rather see her dead than seeing her with you." 

Uriel makes his sword appear and points it at Aleister. With rage, Uriel declares:

"If you lay a hand on her, I will kill you!"

Aleister, feeling nervous, begins to laugh; "It was a joke Uriel. I wouldn't do anything to her, relax, just stay away from Marjorie please." 

Aleister begins to walk away and turns to the corner. Uriel begins to walk as well.

"Hey you're late man...did something happen?" Alejandro asks Uriel. Uriel shakes his head as he reaches the meeting point; Alejandro, Tiwa, Shion and Kasumi wait for him. They prepare to move to the next location. 

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

Jairo's Cafe…

The sun begins to set, Uriel's group head to downtown Sun City. Between the tallest building, a small cafe is established with a sign that says:

"Jairo's Cafe"

"Jairo, we've arrived…" Kasumi opens the door, Jairo and Rosa are waiting for them. The store is closed for the day with a "Close" sign at the door.

"Good, well Alejandro, it looks like you came after a two week absence. I hope you didn't forget that you still work here right?"

Alejandro apologizes with tears in his eyes; "I'm sorry, I thought I was fired…"

  "Well you are not, remember that this job is a lifetime…" Mr. Jairo pats Alejandro's head. Alejandro smiles:

"Thank you…"

"There is also a job for you Tiwa and for you too handsome…" Jairo winks at Uriel, Uriel replies politely:

"Thank you, I will consider it…"

Kasumi feels jealous and clears her throat.

"Jairo, let's go to the base for now…"

"Right, sorry Kasumi…"

Jairo and the others go to the back of the coffee shop where the kitchen lies. He stands at the door of an abandoned fridge located at the end of the kitchen. He moves the handle and a keypad appears. He enters the code and the refrigerator begins to slowly open.

"Holy cow, that's a secret passage, just like the movies!" Alejandro shouts with excitement.

"You work here and you never suspected it?" Tiwa asks with a disappointed expression.

"Well, I always thought it was a decoration, but looking at it now. Everything makes sense now…" Alejandro laughs nervously as he scratches his cheek.

"You are correct, but remember you three that this is a secret…and if you say something, you will die…"

Jairo puts on a serious expression, causing Alejandro and Tiwa to feel nervous. Jairo switches his expression:

"Just kidding…"

As they walk down the stairs, the lights begin to turn on, Alejandro looks with wonder as he thinks:

"Man, this is like a Batcave, I wonder if I can meet Batman…"

They reach the hideout, the hideout consists of a room with a large computer, it has hearts and rainbows everywhere, and Unicorn figures at the size of a german shepherd.There is a large sofa with two small couches on the side.

"WELCOME TO MY BASE OF OPERATIONS...WONDERLAND…" Jairo presents the base with excitement.

"Jairo is a lower trunk member, he is an expert on technology...he is our eyes and ears in this city." Kasumi explains to Uriel, Uriel nods understanding the situation.

"Now then, Carlos and Chelsea are currently on a mission hunting down some Kage on the north eastern part of Sun City. Right now there are no signs of the Chupacabras."

"I see, well then, let's wait for the report. For now, let's go over what we know about the Chupacabras."
