Kat bounded in through the hall. Practically hopping.

Meanwhile…

"Allen. Would you be so kind as to go and retrieve her? Maybe show her around a bit then bring her to my office? I don't particularly trust her alone in the halls. She's bound to get into trouble." Allen nodded and went to do his task. But as he walked away he wondered what could be so bad about this girl.

Kat walked slowly down corridor after corridor attempting to explore the new place and get a feel for it. She turned down another unfamiliar hall and ran straight into someone. Landing on her bottom on the cold, hard floor. She groaned and looked up.

In front of her was a boy about fifteen or sixteen with white hair and blue eyes, dressed in an exorcist's uniform. Her eyes widened at the site of his left eye. A pentacle curse mark. So this is Allen Walker. The cursed exorcist I've head so much about, she thought.

"O…oh I…I'm so s…sorry," he stuttered, waving his hands in front of him frantically.

"No. No. it's my fault. I wasn't paying attention. You alright?" He nodded slowly. Kat smiled, standing up and holding her hand out to shake. He blinked at her before taking her hand slowly. Finally focusing on what she was wearing. How many girls dressed like that?

"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Allen Walker."

"I know. I've heard a lot about you." She smiled wide and cocked her head to the side sweetly. Allen blushed slightly. Did everyone know who he was?

"Oh. Well. Umm… Chief Komui sent me to show you around and then take you to him." He didn't mention that Komui had also sent him because he didn't trust her by herself. From what he'd seen she was nice. What was wrong with her?

"Alrighty then. Let's go. I haven't seen Komui in about three or four years. How's he doin? Still doing crazy experiments I suppose?"

Allen stopped walking.

"You know him?!"

"Oh yeah. He came to the headquarters in China where I was stationed a few years back. We became fast friends." She paused holding her hands behind her back. "When he left I was sad. He was only there for a few months but still. It was enough time to miss him when he left." Kat sighed. "I loved pulling pranks on him. And malfunctioning the many robots that he came up with." She giggled at the memory.

Oh. So that's why he doesn't trust her, Allen thought inwardly.

About thirty minutes later, after a short tour of the premises, they met up with Komui in his office.

"Since I know who she is and she's already an exorcist, there is no need for her to be checked by Hevlaska. Allen would you so kindly do me another favor? Go get the other exorcists. I want them to meet her." Allen nodded and headed out the door.

Komui turned to back to Kat.

"It's been a while. At least three years hasn't it?" he asked folding his hands together.

"Hai." she replied, a sly grin working its way onto her face. "You're still making robots right?" Komui cringed.

"Y…yes." He eyes her ruefully. "You'd better not try destroying my Komurin! I've worked hard on that model!" he screeched.

She blinked.

"Calm down. I won't destroy them…all." Komui was about to make a retort when the door swung open.

"I've got them," Allen declared. Lenalee, Lavi, Bookman, Krory, and Kanda walked in behind him.

"Well everyone. This is Kat. She's an exorcist who's just transferred here from the Asian branch." A smile spread across his face. "With a promotion. She's a general."

Kanda pushed the others aside. "WHAT?! He snapped. Kat? As in Katarina Lowinski?"

An extremely proud Kat beamed, walking up to the glaring exorcist with her hands on her hips.

"Well hello there Ka-Chan." A wry smirk formed on her lips.

All eyes in the room came to rest on the two opposing teens.

Kanda's right eye twitched angrily. His hand on Mugen.

"She's an exorcist?! And a general at that?!" he bellowed. "Her of all people. Short, weak, little Kat. Is an exorcist? What the hell is this world coming to?" a vein throbbed at his temple.

The smirk on her face disappeared. A malicious look took over her features.

"I will warn you now. I'm not the same little weakling I used to be. I'm a general and I'm well deserving of the title. Not to sound too high and mighty. But let me say this. If you EVER call me weak or short again," she hissed, leaning toward him, her face mere inches from his. "I'll shove my foot so far up your ass; you'll be spitting shoelaces for a month." Suddenly she pulled away.

"So every one," she spun around childishly. "You all know who I am. What are you're names?"

She grinned. Everyone tensed at the sudden change in her mood. Well. Everyone but Kanda that is. All he did was stand there and glare at her with a look that was dripping with murderous intent.
