Behind the Ministry…

Tiwa for some reason has the urgency to find Uriel...therefore she’s on a quest to find him….

"I hate to do this...it's so tiresome…" Tiwa complains as she walks pass a hill.

"Come on lady Tiwa...hoot hoot…...You only walked for 5 minutes…the Ministry is just a few steps in the back…" Suma, her guardian spirit owl, says as he flies above her.

"Easy for you to say...you are flying…" Tiwa complains. A serpent appears on her shoulder; " Ssss...Mistress Tiwa...please stay strong...we need his help to find Zuni…"

"You're right Jana...I will keep moving forward…"

Tiwa and her spirits continued to walk in search of Uriel...After 15 minutes of walking up and down some hills….the GPS begam to ring…

(BEEP BEEP BEEP)

"What's this...the GPS is beeping…" Tiwa looks at the device, she looks at Suma and says:

"Suma fly higher and tell me if you see Uriel…"

"Right…" Suma flies higher, he begins to search for a young man but he doesn't see anything.

"I can't find him…"

(BBBOOOMMM)

Suddenly, the ground shakes. Tiwa lands on her behind; "Ouch...what's going on?"

"LADY TIWA, A HILL IS MOVING ON ITS OWN…" Suma flies down, Tiwa and Jana are surprised:

" A hill is moving on its own...that's impossible...unless…" Tiwa stands up and begins to run towards the rumbling:

"There is only one person that can do that…."

Tiwa jumps to a tall hill to see the action. She lands on the peak and sees the hill moving on its own; "There…"

Tiwa jumps down and heads towards the hill. As she approaches the hill, she begins to see someone who is pushing it.

A young man with brown skin, muscular body, blue hair and greenish eyes. He has a scar in the shape of a claw on his left eye.

"I found you…Uriel…” Tiwa says with a smile. She heads towards him.

Uriel pushes the hill, he is covered in sweat and his veins are visible because of all the strength he is putting as he pushes.

Uriel finishes pushing. He breathes heavily as he lands on his back. Uriel pushed the hill to a line that was drawn on the ground.

With his eyes closed, Uriel feels someone is approaching. He opens his eyes and sees Tiwa standing next to him.

"So this is where you were...the nerve…"

Uriel sighs; " I can see your panties…"

Tiwa, who forgot she had a skirt, panics and jumps back covering herself:

"WHAT THE HELL...YOU PERVERT…"

"Why am I a pervert...you are the one who was standing next to me…" Uriel says in a calm manner.

Tiwa controls herself and says; I guess you're right…"

"So...what do you want?"

Tiwa looks at Uriel's body and blushes; "I'll tell.you but first...please put your shirt back on…"

Uriel puts his dark blue shirt on. Tiwa, who is still red, thinks; "I never realized how hot he is…"

Tiwa shakes her head thinking;"No...no...he is the enemy...don't forget that…"

"Answer my question...why are you here?" Uriel asks once more. Tiwa lifts her arm holding the bag and says:

"Here...you mom sent you this…"

“Thank you…” Uriel reads a note that said:

Hijo, here is your breakfast, I will send it with a beautiful young lady. Please be kind to her and give her the second plate. One more thing, be sure to always behave like a gentleman…

Uriel chuckles, Tiwa looks at him weird; “Why are you laughing…”

“It’s nothing...here...my mother wants you to eat this…”

“Hmmpphh...I don’t need you food…” Tiwa looks away acting like a diva.

(GGGRRRRR)

Her stomach growls, suddenly, her face turns red as a tomato. She slowly walks towards Uriel and grabs the plate and the juice box.

Uriel and Tiwa breakfast sitting in one of the boulders next to the hill that Uriel was pushing. The breakfast consists of scramble eggs with bacon and spinach on the side, with a couple of home-made tortillas. They also have a juice box to drink. Tiwa eats with delight; “Delicious, your mother is an excellent cook…”

“Thank you…Hey didn’t you have school today?”

“No...technically, I am still suspended for what I did on the night the Chupacabras attacked…”

“Really? But that was almost a month ago?”

“Yeah, but Principle Lucifugus said that she did not want me in school until March 6th…”

“I see..well, I will also return on that day, it’s probably something they are planning but I don’t have time for that…”

Tiwa is looking at the hill; “Hey, were you pushing that with your own strength...because I don’t sense any mana coming from it…”

“Yeah...I was training to make my body stronger…”

“REALLY, BUT THAT HILL IS HUGE...AND YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE USING BRUTE STRENGTH…”

“Is there something weird about it?”

“Of course it is...I mean you are just a teen, technically…”

“That may be true…I have the body of a teenager but remember…I am not normal…”

Uriel replies, Tiwa stops yelling and thinks about it; “Oh...yeah…sorry”

“So what do you want?” Uriel asks as he continues to eat breakfast. Tiwa remembers and says; “Well, the thing is...I need your help?”

“My help? That 's weird...didn’t you tell me the day we met that we were enemies?”

“Of course you are...we are mortal enemies because El Charro Negro destroyed my tribe….”

“But that wasn’t me...it was one of my predecessors.”

“Yeah, I know duh...but you are still El Charro Negro…”

“You got a point…”

“So, about my request, I need you to help me find something that was stolen from me…”

“What was stolen from you?”

“It’s just that it wasn’t really stolen, it’s more like I lost it…one of my mediums…”

“Your medium?”

“Yeah medium...you know the object I use in order to focus my power with my guardian spirits...as a Shaman priestess, I have the ability to do it...don’t tell me you forgot?”

“Yeah, I did…” Uriel drinks from his juice. “DAMN YOU!” Tiwa screams with anger. She calms down and Uriel looks at her and asks:

“So you lost your medium, but what does it have to do with me? I didn’t steal it, you know?”

“Yeah I know...it’s just, during the dance, a tube from the air conditioner fell and I was hit with it losing consciousness. It was then when I lost my medium…”

“And I am responsible because…”

“Because I was impersonating you, remember? If it wasn’t for you...I wouldn't have lost it…”

“I see...well I guess I have no choice…” Uriel stands up, Tiwa looks surprised as she thinks; “That was fast…”

“So are you going to help me?”

“Yes…”

Tiwa smiles and says; “Thank you…”

“However, I need to go to my house to get change…” Uriel extends his hand and focuses on mana. Suddenly, a red portal opens, Tiwa looks surprised.

“What are you doing?”

“I am opening a portal at the front of the ministry. Take my hand and let's go…”

“Ehh??” Tiwa blushes, “W-W-Why should I grab your hand?”

“Because I am the only one who can pass through the portal...come on”

“No I refuse...I would rather walk…”

Tiwa crosses her arms and avoids looking at Uriel. Uriel sighs and with great speed carries Tiwa; “Hey wait…”

“I don’t have time for that…” With great speed Uriel and Tiwa cross the portal towards the Ministry.

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

After returning to the Ministry...Uriel took a bath and changed his clothes. Uriel’s outfit consists of blue jeans, a red shirt and a black jacket...As he finished tying his shoes, Maria, his mother entered the room…

“Are you going out, Uriel?” Maria asks with a worried expression. Uriel finishes tying his shoe and stands up; “Yes mother, I promised Tiwa I would help her look for something she lost…Where is Valerie?”

“She went to Sun City…”

“I see…”

“Uriel, I don’t mind you helping her, but I must ask you to please be careful, it pains me seeing you injured like that…”

Upon hearing those words, Uriel looks at the ground thinking; “She...is worried about me…” Uriel decides to walk through the door and says; “I’m heading out…”

Maria smiles; “Be careful, hijo”

Uriel walks in the corridor thinking about Maria’s words, Father Clemente appears from the other corridor and says; “Uriel, can I speak with you for a moment?”

Uriel nods in agreement, Father Clemente begins to speak; “Uriel...I understand that you have your mission and that you are strong enough to protect yourself...however…”

Uriel hears his words, Clemente continues to speak; “Uriel, you are not alone anymore...please don’t try to do things by yourself...you may not care but you make your family worried and that includes me…”

“You father? But I am an agent of evil…” Uriel tries to test Father Clemente and hear his answer; “That may be true, however, you are also part of the Ministry of San Juan, meaning that you are my family as well…”

Uriel looks surprised upon hearing those words; “Is that so?”

Father Clemente grabs his shoulders and says; “Uriel,when ever you are in trouble, don’t hesitate in calling me...I won’t hesitate in giving you a hand, I don’t care if you are El Charro Negro…”

“I see…” Uriel begins to walk the corridor again, he stops and says; “Thank you...Father…”

Father Clemente smiles and continues to walk in the other direction. Uriel goes to the kitchen and sees Tiwa. Tiwa blushes to see his outfit.

Uriel looks at Tiwa and says; “Sorry to keep you waiting...now then, shall we go?”

“Y-Y-Yeah…” Tiwa agrees, and Uriel and Tiwa walk out of the Ministry. Uriel looks at the sky and thinks; “It’s going to rain…” He looks at Tiwa and asks; “So, Tiwa, where do we start looking?”

“We need to look for a person…”

“A person?”

“That’s right...I know her location...but I need your help…”

“Her? You mean you already found her? So why do you need my help?”

“Well, she has a crush on you...so we are going to use that advantage…” Tiwa chuckles, Uriel looks at her suspiciously and asks; “Who is that person?”
