This is a companion to 18 Drops of Blood, though it can be read alone. This fic is also a series of drabbles, though they are far longer. These drabbles are centered entirely on the reactions of others to the relationship between Alucard and Usagi. Each chapter will deal with a different person and feeling. Some of these chapters will be short, others will be fairly long.
Although the first chapter/drabble dealt directly with a drabble in 18 Drops of Blood, I should mention that most of these wont. I feel I also should mention that this is slightly AU after season R of Sailor Moon.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Takeuchi Naoko owns Sailor Moon, and Hirano Kohta owns Hellsing.

Part 2: Oblivious: Tsukino Ikuku
By: Ceris Malfoy
Tsukino Ikuku was absolutely delighted.
That is to say, she very poignantly ignored the fact that the man her daughter was dating was very much undead.
No, Ikuku's mind was quite firmly entrenched in the wonderful realm of hypothetical weddings and grandchildren. Never mind the fact that every time she brought up the topics Usagi got shifty-eyed and sarcastic. It was to be expected, after all. The two had only been dating for less than a month before Ikuku first mentioned the subject.
She wondered quite often what her grandchildren – for Usagi was sure to be a dutiful daughter and give her lots of them – would look like. She wondered whether they would have her daughter's ephemeral blue eyes or Alucard's blazing hellfire crimson. Maybe a shade between?
She also imagined what the wedding would be like, and whether her husband would get over his "not ready" thing long enough to walk their daughter down the aisle without threatening to kill the groom. She imagined the heart-felt vows, the sealing kiss, the reception.
She hummed and dreamed of what life for her daughter could be like, not quite getting the fact that Alucard was a vampire, and as such much of the things she dreamed of would not be happening.
After all, the undead were incapable of breeding, even if they were capable of enjoying the act of doing so. (Usagi agreed that Alucard was quite capable at the act.) As for the wedding…. Well, while Alucard had no qualms about standing in a church in the middle of the day for hours on end, they both felt it was entirely too much trouble to take part in a meaningless (for them) ritual that would do nothing but highlight for others what they already knew – they belonged to each other.
So, Usagi, more than used to her mother's brand of obliviousness, would simply smile and lie through her teeth while Alucard would stare and wonder if Usagi had any right to be as mentally balanced as she was.
I'm totally in love with the idea of oblivious mothers. XD I know mine is entirely too clever and invasive, so I often wonder what it would be like to have one.
