AN: Well this is my first story that I've actually got off my lazy ass to write. I hope you enjoy it. I may not update very frequently, college work is a bitch, and I do try to have a life every now and then. Have fun and please leave a review, just a little one, it'll make me write puppy dog eyes
Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing, Kohta Hirano does grumbles I own the strange new character though, so in your face : P
Strangers and Enemies
Blood, dust and rotting flesh covered the ground, while the bright stars stayed pure throughout the carnage. It was just another night, just another mission for the troops of the Hellsing Organisation.
The report said there was a group of FREAKS meeting in a park on the outskirts of London, so a small group of Hellsing troops were dispatched to deal with the problem.
Alucard was there – as far as he was concerned – to make sure none of the FREAKS escaped the grounds, and to shoot down any ghouls that got too close.
After about 10 boring minuets, Alucard felt something. As far as he could tell, it was quite powerful, significantly more powerful than the FREAKS here, but it wasn't a vampire, no, but it was definitely something sinister in nature.
He decided he would find out what this was, and perhaps find an amusing or challenging creature with which he could have verbal or perhaps physical sparring matches with. He grinned at the thought.
He walked towards the scene where he saw, to his pleasure that his little Police Girl was doing quite well against a large group of FREAKS. That's what it should be like, he thought to himself.
Closing his eyes, Alucard tried to locate the source of the power. Rather strangely, it was coming from the sky. He looked up. His eyes widened slightly. The troops and Seras all looked up as well.
An inky black portal opened – my speciality, Alucard thought. A figure emerged and was heading towards the ground at an alarming speed. Whoever it was, it was falling at top speed.
Fortunately for whoever it was, they landed, with a loud splash and a large spray of water, into the park's lake. Alucard and Seras were the only two who dared to get close enough to see what it was that had literally fallen from the sky.
When they got close enough they saw, much to Seras' obvious shock, that it was a teenage girl, dressed in strange clothing, and holding a large staff.
Moments later, the girl started coughing and spluttering out the water that she swallowed when she had landed. She gingerly got to her feet – bare feet, they noticed – and slowly walked towards the side, where Seras and the troops where staring at her with amazement.
"Good evening" Alucard greeted, while sporting her one of his large, fanged grins.
The stranger turned at looked up at him.
"Oh yeah" She said sarcastically. "Just bloody great. I fall from the sky and land in a lake" She began gesturing angrily at the offending location. She huffed as her wet fringe stuck to her face. She growled.
Barely suppressing a laugh he said "Perhaps you would like to come back to the mansion with us. I daresay my master would like to meet you."
Flicking her fringe off her face in the most dignified way she could manage, she answered with "Yes, I think I shall. I could do with a break."

Another inky black portal and slightly impressed glances later, the pair appeared in the entrance hall of the Hellsing mansion. The stranger took her time looking around the room while following Alucard up a nearby staircase. She spent the remainder of the "tour" getting a good look of the corridor and where they were headed.
They stopped at a posh wooden door – well the stranger did, Alucard phased through it. She rolled her eyes at his trick and decided that she would try making a good first impression and wait until invited in.
Maybe I should try and improve my wet appearance? She thought, Nah, I'm sure his "master" will be able to tell how powerful I am without needed me to look in pristine condition. She chuckled at this, and could swear she heard another chuckle from somewhere, but a quick glance at both ends of the corridor showed nobody around. She shrugged as she heard a female voice say "Come in."
The newcomer straightened up slightly and walked into the well-kept office with a confidant stride. Not noticing any chairs in front of the desk, she opted to stand.
There was a short silence in which the new girl had an idea that both of the people – creature, in his case – were sizing her up and decided how much use she could be.
Deciding not to miss this opportunity, she took a good luck at the woman and master sat behind the polished, oak desk. She's rather beautiful, she thought, she could do with some make-up and someone nice fitting clothes though. She suppressed a smirk at the thought.
Shame I can't get a good look at that vampire, I wish he'd stop being all shadowy and shit. Idiot.
She glared slightly. He sported her to another fanged grin. She glared harder. His master coughed in a demanding tone.
"Now then." She began "Alucard tells me that you could be a rather valuable member to my organisation-"
At this point the stranger decided to zone out slightly. This is so pointless, she thought.
"So, will you join the Hellsing organisation?"
"I will." she replied without so much as a blink, zoning back in quickly. Damn I'm good. She smirked slightly.
"Seeing as Alucard can vouch for you, you will not need to go through the usual training the troops do. But he will test you to see the full extent and power you poses."
"Fine." Damn, I can't have him see my full power! Shit fuck! She inwardly cursed more, until she was dismissed to receive a tour from this Alucard.
