Author's Note: If I had a tail I'd wag it, I finally wrote a Hellsing fic! Integra has to fly to Washington to do a joint work effort in flushing out a cult of freak and true vampires that have been running a muck in the city! Will the organizations work together, and will they maybe even teach Integra that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, or a vampire by the way they look. AxI! You knew that was coming.

Dust on the Bookshelf

Chapter 1

"Damn all!" Integra said a she slammed the letter on her desk. "I'd rather go to Rome than go there, any where but there!"

"I agree with you Sir Integra," her butler said as he slipped the paper from her grasp before she destroyed it further. "But it seems that we must go."

"Bloody hell," Integra said as she stood and walked out of her office, anger radiating off of her like a furnace giving off heat. She stalked down the hallway like an angry lioness would stalk her prey, only she wasn't looking for anyone, only to get to the target range and blow a few targets to pieces. When she arrived she found Seras working with a 9mm Glock, drawing a happy face into the target with her bullets.

Seras notice the woman come in and immediately put her gun down and stood at attention, waiting to see what she wanted, if anything.

"At ease Seras, I'm only here to blow off some steam," Integra said as she took out her 9mm Berretta, a near identical gun to the one Seras was using, and called up a target. After the first round Seras said something.

"Sir, pardon if I intrude on the wrong grounds, but what is troubling you?" Seras asked as she reloaded her own gun.

"We've received a request from the United State to join them in hunting down a cult of vampires that have been running havoc in Washington," Integra answered. "The thought of having to step into that country makes my insides tie themselves into knots."

"It's really not that bad," Seras said as she started shoot what looked like a fish into the targets midsection.

Integra watched as the young vampire played a demented version of connect the dots for a moment until she ran out of ammo and continued what she was saying. "What do you mean it really isn't that bad?"

"I mean that America isn't really as trashy and crazy as many people say," Seras said as she reloaded her gun, "It's actually quite a nice place, with many natural wonders that you can't find here in England."

"You act as though you've been there," Integra said as she aimed her gun at the targets head area, giving it a nose ring hole and one for its lip. She started shooting a cross into the face when she and Seras ran out of ammo.

"It looks like something that Jan guy wore," Seras said.

"Why do you think I was doing it, and it's not like mine is very strange," Integra said as she looked over at Seras's target, which now had a crazy looking hair cut. Seras grinned with a silly face.

"And to your comment about me sounding like I've been there," Seras said as she started to put her gun away, "I have, I went there a few years ago to visit relatives before coming back and starting my police training. I haven't been to Washington specifically, but I've been to Oregon, which is just underneath it."

"Lovely," Integra said sourly as she called up a new target and blew its face out with the rest of the round she had. Seras only watched for a moment before slipping silently out of the room.
