Third POV

"So you are going to leave?" Sho looked at his brother, who was barely holding his tear.

"Yes, I am."

"Kaho will be sad." He sighed as he remembered his little sister reaction to everything.

A three year old girl too attached him, so much so she passed out crying after understanding I wouldn't be around.

"And you?" And the dam broke, Sho patted his brother's head as Genshirou embraced him.

His twin brother, older by a few minutes, Saji Genshirou. The future Black Dragon King, the host of Vritra and the pawn of one Sona Sitri.

He and his sister were among the primary reasons he wanted to do this. He knew Saji would become a devil, but at what cost?

Would he have to die as well before becoming one? Or will something happen to their family?

Sho shook his head removing this thought, that could be changed.

They will have a life in accordance to their will and desire.

"Don't worry, I will return at any available time. I will not be gone forever." Sho assured his brother, and if he could feel it right Genshirou nodded his head.

Sho then turned toward his parents, his father was trying maintain a strong front, believable if not for the tear in his eye, while his mother was crying as she looked at him.

Touji had convinced his parents after explaining to them the power he was born with and his possible future. Both good and bad, and left them to make a decision.

After hearing their positive response Touji alter their memories to make to it look like he was going abroad for studies.

'Maybe it's because he himself is a father, that he heard their response first.'

"Make sure to listen to your elders. Make to call us if something happens or if you need something." His father said stepping forward, as he hugged both his sons.

An action which prompted his mother to rush in as well, tears running down her face, in a family hug.

"I will." That was all Sho could say, the more this went on the more his resolve to leave was weakening.

Sho turned behind to look at Touji Shidou and nodded his head.

"I deeply apologise to interrupt this moment, but it's time." Touji stepped forward and placed a hand on Sho's father. "The flight will leave soon."

His family slowly seperated from from him, an action that gave Sho some time to calm himself.

"Please look after my son." Touji assured his father that the church would look after his son.

The duo of priest and the boy, gave their goodbyes and prepared to bord their plane.

"Are you sure you don't have anything more to say?" Touji asked the boy one last time, before they left.

"I have a lot to say, but if I do I am not confident I can leave them." Touji saw the child smiling as tears filled his eyes.

"Shido-san? Could I ask you a question?"

"Ask me anything you want, don't hesitate." Touji looked at Sho asking him a question, as he clutched the Bible given to him by Touji.

"Why are we going to the Vatican?" Touji raised his brows, and gestured for the boy to go on. "What am I required to go to Vatican for becoming a exorcist?"

"I am sure the church has bases in the neighbouring countries if not in Japan itself." The boy looked like he was thinking about it deeply. " And it is doubtful that in a religion as wide spread, every possible exorcist can possibly go to Vatican."

Touji chuckled as he looked at the boy, who now had a confused face.

"That's right, usually an upcoming exorcist is taken to nearest High authority." Touji ruffled Sho's as he looked at the boy proudly, he was quite intelligent for his age. "But your circumstance is a bit special."

"It's because my Sacred Gear is BladeBlacksmith, a Holy gear, isn't it?" The boy once again shocked the priest with his quick thinking.

What the boy said was true, the church took good, and extra, measures whenever it came to Anything Holy or Faith related.

Be they Holy Swords and the ability to use them, Holy Relics or any Sacred gear that is Holy or Faith related.

The headquarters of the Church, the exorcist and the faith, The Vatican immediately takes action whenever any of those things are involved.

"Yes it is." Touji looked at the bible in the young man hand, which he had decided to read while the plane was inflight.

"People who are able to wield a Holy Sword is too few far and between, only a few appearing in a decade." Touji could tell how rare a holy sword wielder was, throughout his life he had only seen a handful of them, with some being from the previous generations.

"And I not only do I have the ability to wield them but also have the gear that allows for its creation."

"Well certain holy swords can only be wielded by specific people, but outside that you are correct." Touji could vividly remember, how he thought he could wield Durandal just because he could wield a holy sword.

"Now look outside, we have arrived." Touji pointed out the window, at the Concrete jungle below them.

An : Yeah This Ch may feel lacking a bit.

But do leave Reviews and Stones, that will help a lot.

As for the Blade-Blacksmith and Sho wielding a Holy Sword part, it wouldn't make sense story wise for a Blade-Blacksmith user to not be able to wield a holy sword.

And I understand the chapter are a bit short, but bear with it. It will only last till Ch 10-15. After that it will all be 1500-2000+ words. I have a pretty good idea of the plot point of the fic, but the starting has a few holes.

Like it's easier to write how Mc joins Grigori or Devils, compared to church. Or how the structure of the church and exorcist is.
