On a cold moonless night, a stranger with long black hair that passed his shoulder blades and dressed in the same color, silently walked up to the tall gates of the Hellsing estate. He gazed over the large courtyard and the guard post as the gates' lights glinted off his dark sunglasses. The stranger stayed in the shadows from the lights to avoid detection. The wind rustled through the trees and tossed up fallen leaves into the courtyard. The wind pulled at the ends of his long coat.
"The placed looks almost the same when I was last here so long ago. I wonder if he is still here," mused the stranger to him self.
The stranger put his slender hands into his pockets and noiselessly strolled away from the lights along the fence. When he thought he was far enough into the darkness. He leaped gracefully over the high pointed fence and made no sound when he landed. The intruder calmly strolled across the grounds. He kept clear of the sentries that were on patrol.

In Sir Hellsing office room on the top floor, Integral was going over Walter's reports late into the night with Loreena McKennitt music playing softly in the stereo. She picked up her cigar and smoked it casually. White smoke curled upwards and vanished. Sir Hellsing flipped through another pile of papers in her hand over her big oak desk. Then she felt a slight change in the air around her, but kept on reading a report.
Alucard slowly seeped out of the darkest upper corner in the room. A feral grin was affixed upon his mouth. Red-orange tinted sunglasses shaded his fiery-red eyes. His body stopped midway through the wall and drifted downwards. The vampire stepped through the wall onto floor soundlessly. He leisurely ambled over to the side of his human master's desk. Alucard's grin widens showing off his fangs a bit.
"Are you looking for love in the moonlight (1)? Do you know you look like a highwayman in that red attire of yours," spoke out Integral while not looking up from her paper.
"Good evening Miss Hellsing. No, I am sorry to say that there is no moon out tonight," replied Alucard and chuckled. He glided over to a large painting of Integral's father and looked back at his busy master. The vampire thought of something ridiculous and laughed.
"Alucard! If you must be bored out of your mind, please do it somewhere else. Sir Hellsing fluttered through some other papers and wrote a few things down. She noticed that he moved a little closer to her and had on his annoying wolfish grin. "Why don't you go help Walter or prevent Captain Pip from teasing Seras." Integral sighed and rubbed her eyes.
Alucard leaned closer. "Is that an order, my ma-ster…"
"YES!!" Sir Hellsing tossed a heavy book at her vampire agent.
The vampire calmly dodged the flying book with ease as it slammed into the wall behind him. "Oh my, what unladylike behavior, tisk, tisk…"
"OUT NOWW!!" Sir Hellsing pulled out her gun and aimed it at Alucard.
"Master, you do not have to get all over dramatic," said Alucard as his eyes danced with laughter behind his sunglasses. He slowly walked away from Integral towards the door. Sir Hellsing followed him with her gun. The vampire disappeared through the shadowy, wooden door. "Humans can be so amusing at times. I think, I will meet with someone then," echoed Alucard.
Sir Hellsing holstered her gun away. "One of these days, he will push me too far, and I will personally stake him through the heart with pleasure."
"Well master, I did not know that you cared for me this much with such passion," whispered Alucard into Integral's mind and chuckled with glee.
Sir Hellsing fumed at her subordinate's disrespect toward his master as she forced herself back to the paperwork on her desk. Large puffs of smoke came from her cigar in her mouth.

The intruder in black strolled over to the side of the main building to the servant's entry door that was half hidden by a statue. He placed in an old key and found it still worked with the lock. The stranger quietly opened the door and walked in. He shut the door behind him locked.
Silently, he moved through the servant's section. The intruder stepped to the side into shadows as he came up to an open doorway that had some light spiling out onto the hallway. He saw an elderly man busily typing on his computer in the room as he stealthily passed the doorway. The stranger went on up the servant's corridors and stairways to the main mid hallway. He stopped when he saw a tall figure in red.
Alucard stood in the middle of the hallway with his back to the intruder. "Once again, I meet you on moonless night, Lewis. So, you are brave enough to enter this place now." Alucard turned around and aimed his Jackal gun at Lewis and smiled. "Shall we dance."
"I am sorry for my sudden appearance. I stole a key when we met last time," said Lewis as he took off his black sunglasses and placed them on a side table with a potted plant. He returned his gaze back onto Alucard with beautiful, bright emerald eyes. Lewis grinned, revealing long sharp canines of those belonging to vampires.
"I forgive you," said Alucard, and he pulled the trigger. A very loud bang echoed through the building followed by a shattering sound.

The gunfire reached Sir Hellsing's office. Integral jumped up with her gun out. "What the bloody…Wait that imp said he will meet someone. WHY could he not just say we had an intruder in building! I will shoot him for this!" Sir Hellsing stormed out her office to the direction where the gunshot sound came from.

Shattered pieces of pottery, plant, and dirt were all over the side table, floor, and Lewis. Alucard lowered his Jackal to his side.
"I see you still play test of mind and will games," said Lewis as he dusted of debris off his clothing and hair.
"I still cannot get you to flinch, not even a little bit."
"I trust you completely that is why."
"Such trust is a weakness, and it will lead to your downfall," and Alucard frowned for a moment.
"I have this kind of trust only for you, mon ami (my friend)."
"What a sweettalker you are. Will you always be soo emotional."
"Come, let me greet you warmly." Lewis came up to Alucard swiftly and took hold of the other vampire's shoulders. He kissed Alucard on each cheek and hugged him tightly as Alucard stood rock still. Lewis heard the clicking sound of a gun being ready to shoot and looked up from Alucard's shoulder. He saw a blonde haired woman with her handgun aimed for between his eyes.
"Alucard, what are you doing? And, why is he hugging you?" asked Sir Hellsing calmly.
"Who is SHE…?" questioned Lewis as he narrowed his eyes at Integral and hugged Alucard more possessively.
"Now, master is that the proper way to treat our guest," said Alucard, and he turned around to face Integral with a slight smile when Lewis let him go to stand behind his friend.
"Who is that vampire behind you?"
"Ma'am, What happened? I heard a…" said Seras as she came running into the hallway with a large handgun, and she stopped when she saw the strange vampire in black with a long coat, leaning on her master's back.
"Oh him, he is more harmless than the police girl," replied Alucard calmly. "I place him under the very friendly class category.
"Hey Al, are you making fun of me? You know I really hate that," said Lewis.
"Let me restate the question. Who is that vampire?" asked Sir Hellsing coldly.
"My boyfriend." Said Alucard in a serious tone, and Lewis snuggled into Alucard's back.
Integral lowered her gun in total disbelief as to what her ears just heard.
"Ma…Master…I …I didn't know you swing that WAY!" stuttered Seras with wide eyes and open mouth in a state of dumbfounded shock.
"Oh my God, Queen, and Country…" uttered Sir Hellsing.
"Amen," said Seras automatically.

Alucard fans: Al?! o.O
KS: What, what?… I needed Alucard to have a nickname. Calling him Dalv (Vlad back wards) didn't sound right. Dalv I order you. Dalv, here Dalv, come here boy. Al felt better.
Alucard: … T.T;
KS: Anyway, may you go with God's and the queen's blessing. Amen.
