Exatcly at six thirty AM an angry ring could be heard through the Hellsing manor.
One... Two... Three... Four...
Alucard was humming to a tune no one had heard for the past two hundred years and counting silently.
Eleven... Twelve... Thirteen...
The old vampire was in an incredibly good mood, much to the amazement of those around him. At the moment those were Celas and Walter.
Nineteen...
Very soon the call would come. Alucard was certain of that.
Twenty-six...
Why was Integra late?
Thir-
"ALUCAAAAAARRD!!"
Finally! Alucard disappeared through the wall to meet his master.
Still humming, Alucard materialized in front of Integra's desk in her office.
"You called for me, master?" He said a little too innocently. He was biting on the inside of his cheek to not smile. Integra, clad in her nightgown, stood behind the desk and was making an effort to look as pissed as she could through the mass of uncombed hair on her face.
"What the hell have you done to my bedroom?" She hissed.
"Who, me? Why would I d-"
"DON'T PLAY WITH ME! It has to be you because the door was locked from the inside AND because no one else in this building could- could do THAT without me waking up to the noise!"
"Oh, I wouldn't be that sure. Some of the men who work here are pretty good at picking locks. And after all, you are getting older and your senses aren't quite what they used-"
BAM!
Integra found to her great irritation that hair falling over her eyes could impair her aim slightly. The bullet she had aimed at Alucard's groin hit his right thigh instead. Alucard laughed.
"How mean of you." The comment earned another shot. This one hit its mark, but Alucard didn't even wince. Only gave Integra his favourite 'Oh don't mind me, I'm just a harmless little homicidal maniac' -smirk.
"So, tell me, what is it about your new room decor you don't like?" Integra took a one last shot at the vampire - just to hear the nerve-soothing BAM - and blew some hair off of her face.
"What do you THINK?!?"
"I think you like nothing of it, but if there is something you enjoy having around, by all means, you can keep it-"
BAM!
Never mind what Integra had thought before. She would shoot Alucard as many times as she felt like it. It's not like it could hurt the monster anyway.
"I. LOATH. IT." Another shot at the grinning vampire. "GO GET IT ALL AWAY THIS INSTANT!!"
"I'm a bit tired-" Alucard began, but was quickly silenced.
BAM!
"OF COURSE YOU ARE! YOU SPENT THE ENTIRE NIGHT FIXING YOUR STUPID PRANK!!"
"I thought it was April's fool's day!"
BAM!
Crap. Now I'm out of bullets, Integra thought and snarled a few highly offensive words in Alucard's general direction. The said vampire was having REALLY hard time stopping himself from laughing.
"Well, fine. I will get rid of it all. Do I have to paint the walls back to normal too?" Integra threw the empty gun at Alucard's head.
"YES YOU DO!"
"Fine, fine. I will. Are you happy now?"
"NO I AM NOT! JUST GO MAKE MY ROOM NORMAL AGAIN!!" Alucard held his hands up in defeat and followed Integra to the room he had made his masterpiece during the night.
*~*
Usually Integra's room was as grim and darkly coloured as any other room in the building. The walls were - used to be, rather - dark green. There was a large bed, a couple of grey armchairs, a simple bookshelf, a wardrobe, large mirror and a make-up table. The carpet was brownish-grey. That was how it was supposed to be.
Alucard grinned wickedly to himself when he walked into the room again, while Integra looked like she was about to vomit on the ocean of teddy bears covering the floor.
"I'm curious, Alucard - what in the world possessed you to paint everything PINK?"
"I thought it was Valentine's Day."
