,,Alucard?" she called. He rose up from the leather chair and went to the door of the bathroom.
,,Yes, master?" he asked carefuly. Integral opened the door and looked up at him. She wore only towel, wraped around her slender body. Her hair still damp with water and blood.
Blood.
He studied her carefuly. Her arms covered with bruises, dark contusion on her left cheek. He lifted his hand to touch it but-
,,Can you help me wash my hair?" she asked quietly. He let his arm fall and nodded. She opened door fully and let him in.
,,I just..." she started and pinned her gaze onto the floor, suddenly shy as a little girl ,,...I don´t see all the blood, you know?"
Blood.
He nodded.
,,The shampoo is there." She waved to the large bath-thub ,,Try not to use half of the bottle, okay?"
,,Okay."
Integral bent herself over the edge of the bath and let her hair fall down over her head. He stepped beside her and looked at her bare neck. At her blood in her hair. Blood ... he clenched his fists.
,,Try to use water..." she said bitterly.
She always notices...
Alucard put down his gloves and placed them on the chair beside bath-thub. Then he opened the water and filled the bathroom with steam. He let the water flow over her hair. She closed her eyes, placed her palms on the edge of the thub and rested her forehead on them.
,,What are you thinking about?" she asked him.
Alucard run his hands throught long locks of her hair.
About drinking your blood... he thought, but didn´t say aloud.
I can hear you...
I didn´t say anything.
,,It doesn´t mean I didn´t hear..." she grinned.
,,Okay." He admited and put a little of shampoo on her hair. Integral smiled. It felt good.
What?
It´s comfortable...
I am glad you like it. You know, I have no practise in this...
There was comfortable silence for a while. Alucard finished masaging her head and reached for water again.
,,I was afraid..." she said suddenly.
,,I know." He whispered. He knew, he sensed it in her whole being. In her eyes, in her heartbeat, he was inside of her head and felt her panic rise in that moment, she faced her death.
,,I was afraid too..."
Scared as helll...
When her heart stoped and her mind went silent...
Alucard...
...When the bond between them was tore and turbid water clouded her face from him...
,,Conditioner..." she said to him, but her voice was barely a whisper. Their conversation continued in their minds.
I had absolutely no idea, what to do...
Alucard... she repeated.
I am sorry, master. I failed. Gulit? Vampire and guilt?
He closed water and handed her a towel. She took it and stood up.
They stood in the middle of the bathroom in silence. Alucard with his head bowed down, in front of him Integral, only in towel, mass of wet hair falling down to her knees.
...Dear God, how he loved her hair...
,,This is ridiculous..." she laughed shortly, turning away. ,,I am exhausted, I am going to bed." He grabed her hand. Gently, but firmly. She looked at him.
You mean a lot to me.
I know.
He brushed away locks of her hair and placed a soft kiss upon her forehead.
Take it as apologize.
He let go of her hand.
,,Good night, Integral."
,,Good night, Alucard."
