A/N: This is a filler. You don't need to read it if you don't want to, but it introduces Charles. Is his job really what Leigh thinks it is? Does he know about Exorcists? Read and find out! Takes place after he calls Leigh in Chapter 5

Charles POV

I sighed as I clicked the disconnect button on my iPhone. I held the recently developed device that could translate words to one's native language as one hears it, and translates the words to another person's native language as they left your mouth. I wanted to tell her that I could be transferred to the Japan branch of my Exorcist weapon manufacturing company, but she's still pretty touchy about my…erm, bad habit, and the fact that I always blow her of for my friends. The cover for my company was a developer of medical equipment. Everyone thought I was working on a self-cleaning feeding tube, when I was really working on which dimensions of knives cause better balance, and which bullets kill demons faster.

I missed her so much. There's nothing to do back home without her to go shoot with, play guitar with, play catch with, or even listen to music with. I even missed the rock tone to her voice that came out when she would sing Bayside or Brand New. I would call her again later. "Hey, Boss!" I yelled to one of my managers.

She came over to my computer. "Yes. What is it, Mr. Smith?"

"I'd like to ask permission to transfer to Japan."

"Why?"

"My sister goes to school at True Cross Academy. She's a first-year there. Her name is Leigh Nicole Smith, but she uses the surname Schmal."

She looked at the tablet she always carried muttering under her breath. "Schmal-Smith." Then louder, she said, "Here we are. Yes, you're right. She attends the advanced classes with Middle First Class exorcist Yukio Okumura, attends the cram school, where she is a top student, is aiming for the Meister of Knight, and is currently an ExWire."

I couldn't believe it. Attending cram school? She could get hurt! "Sh-she's in the cram school? Are you sure?"

She turned the tablet to face me. Her wavy brown hair was now black with blood-red streaks, but it was definitely Leigh. "Is this your kid sister?" I nodded. "Well, if you want to transfer there to be closer to her, I'll get the paperwork. When you're an exorcist, you need someone to remind you that you have something to live for, especially if you're a Knight." With that, she left. I mentally groaned. Why did she have to go for Knight? She could have been a fair enough Aria, a pretty good Dragoon, or an excellent Doctor with that blood of hers. Then I remembered. Two years ago, that knife that came out of nowhere. She always read books where the hero carried a knife or sword; she always took her fights head-on. I suppose Knight fit her, even though they have the highest fatality rate. I knew I should go to Japan. I was the only person she could talk to about her…gifts.

I worked for another couple of hours, playing out all of her different reactions in my head. I wouldn't tell her for another week or two, so I could have a definite answer.

I simply looked forward to the day I could see my little sister again. Even if she could beat me up now.
