Eyes. Hands. Watching. Grabbing. Running. Darkness. Fear. A knife flashing down in a bright deadly arc. Blood. Death. Release. A final peace.

The vampire Alucard stood up slowly from the latest victim dusting himself as he did so. Anyone looking at him then would see a strong flash of hunger and if anyone had also been listening closely enough to him they would also have heard three words uttered with such hunger that any sane creature would lose all thoughts other than those of fear. "So it begins." Alucard said as, laughing quietly, he stepped back into the shadows.

The Price of a Soul: Chapter 1: Murders on a road paved with blood

"Bloody hell!" Daren yelled as the new agent, Tomo Takino, from Interpol ran about the crime scene like a kid at a candy store. 'Damn it why can't any normal people join Interpol' he though to himself while the female agent ran around asking questions left and right. 'And she's supposed to be one of the best agents they have? Ha! Give me a fucking break!'

"What's the cause of death, police-boy?" came a voice, breaking him out of his reverie. He looked up to see the face of Agent Takino staring down at him with curiosity in her bright eyes.

"What… uh… right! Sorry, it was a vampire and don't call me police-boy!" Daren stammered.

"You don't really expect me to believe that vampire shit do ya?" She asked incredulously.

"What are you…"

"You!" came voice seemingly out of nowhere. "What are you doing here Tomo?" Tomo looked and pinpointed the voice as coming from a tall reporter with glasses and long brown hair.

"Yomi! Is that you? I didn't know you were an international reporter," she said as she ran towards the taller girl.

"Baka! I told you that I had in all those letters and e-mails I sent you!" Yomi shouted as she hit the dark haired girl in the head with her microphone.

"OW! I see you're just as mean and fat as well"

"Fat! How dare you!"

"Hahahaha! Fatty! Fatty!"

Daren watched as the taller girl named "Yomi" quivered in anger as Tomo pranced around. Then, suddenly, causing even more confusion Yomi was giggling uncontrollably and Tomo was on the ground laughing both with tears streaming down their faces.

"I hate to say it… ha ha… but I missed you Tomo." Yomi said trying to regain control of her voice.

"Aw… c'mon you know you (gasp) love me." Tomo answered earning a half-hearted bonk on the head from Yomi.

"Anyways…" Yomi said as she recomposed herself. "Of course vampires exist you knucklehead, … well… at least they exist in Europe. They don't seem to like attacking Japan or North America as much despite the fact that they aren't as defended."

"What are you rambling about, vampires can't possibly … " Tomo started.

"Of course vampires exist you stupid little girl" came a dark female voice from behind. Tomo spun around to find a tall woman with large round glasses and long chestnut hair glaring at her heatedly.

"Whoa look at her glasses they're almost bigger than yours Yomi! Ha mmph" the energetic girl was quickly stifled by both Yomi and the policeman Daren.

"Holy shit do you have some sort of fucking death wish?" the policeman whispered in her.

"Seriously Tomo you just insulted one the most powerful leaders in the Protestant church. That is Lady Integral leader of the renowned Hellsing said too have one the most powerful vampires under control." Yomi berated covering Tomo's mouth with her hand.

"So what?" Said Tomo breaking free of both of them in a surprising burst of strength. "1. I am considered one of the greatest martial artists in the world and 2. I already told you vampires DON'T EXIST. Geez Yomi and you're supposed to be the smart one."

"Seras!" Lady Intergal called out suddenly, startling all three of them.

"Yes ma'am!" answered a woman with short blond hair, straightening to stand at attention a few feet away.

"Prove to this ignorant woman that vampires exist." Integra ordered pointing at the bewildered Tomo.

"Another one! Man she's the fourth one this morning. Do I really have to?" Seras whined but came to stand in front of Tomo nonetheless. "Okay here's the deal, I will fight you but I only get to use fingers."

"Okay your funeral." Tomo answered cockily accepting the challenge and getting into position.

"Ready? Fight!" and with that said Seras leapt towards Tomo to hit her only to find that the girl in question was five feet behind her blowing raspberries at her. Seras turned and leapt at her again, growling and with her full speed and precision behind the blow only to find again that Tomo was inexplicably five feet behind her.

"Ha ha! Loser! Loser! Ha ha! Now it's my turn." The energetic girl threw herself feet first at her opponent connecting with the pit of her stomach. However, instead of the normal feeling of folding flesh beneath her feet it felt like her feet had connected with a brick wall. "Ow! Ow! Damn, what the hell!" Tomo exclaimed flying backward and landing gingerly on her stinging feet. She looked up to glare at the supposed vampire only to feel an extreme pain on her face as two fingers landed squarely on her forehead.

"Ha! Take that." Seras yelled victoriously as the arrogant woman flew backward. Her gleeful smile turned into one of shock as Tomo twirled expertly into a flip to land neatly on her feet.

"That wouldn't have hurt a fly!" Tomo shouted laughing merrily. Her face turned frighteningly serious however as she said, " Now how about I actually try?" With that she launched forward landing in front of the young fledgling vampire throwing a punch and hitting Seras in the jaw causing her to stumble backwards. Seras with her vision spinning slightly tried to get her bearings straight but Tomo wasn't about to let her rest connecting a solid punch to Seras' gut and a spin kick to the side of her head. As she was getting ready to start another combo a black shape suddenly phased out of the ground causing her to jump back in surprise.

"Whatareyoudoingplayingwiththis human, police-girl!" the black shape bellowed coming out of the ground.

"O-oh uh master hello I-I was just f-following L-Lady Integral's orders." Seras stuttered as her master Alucard materialized out of the ground.

"Hey!" Tomo yelled at Alucard. "How dare you intrude? I was having fun!"

"How dare I foolish women I am Alucard and I could devour you with a snap of my fingers!" the vampire shouted angrily back at her.

"Well, Picard, …

"That's Alucard!"

"Whatever! That woman, Seras, or whatever still hasn't proved to me that vampires truly exist, SO if you would … and what the hell are you laughing at four-eyes!" Tomo turned to point at Yomi's direction where she had heard a soft laughing coming from behind her.

"What are you talking about Tomo I am not laughing at anything." Yomi answered huffily and indeed Tomo could see that Yomi's face was deadly serious.

"Well than who was the fuck was it?"

"It was me." Came a soft female voice from Tomo's left. Tomo whirled around to see a tall figure in an ankle length black cloak and hood. Although the hood shrouded the face by the chest size there was no mistaking that this person was female. The most alarming detail however was the extremely long sword that was slung across her back. "You haven't changed much have you Tomo." The person spoke again startling Tomo. "What? Do you not recognize me?" Tomo shook her head dumbly in answer. "That is understandable I have changed much." With that she removed her hood and revealed all too familiar face.
