'Regretful Heart Ache':
Part 3
What compelled him to do such a thing? He had never done something to that extent before. Even when Police Girl would not drink the blood, he didn't force her to drink it like he had done with Kagome. Alucard's thoughts went through his head, churning over his memories of just a few hours ago. Night had fallen and it seems is Little Priestess was awake once more. Oh how he hoped he would not succumb to what was happening to him, to his undead heart.
The short rest that Kagome got was a fitful one. It was filled with dreams of the horrors of her past. When she opened her eyes if someone saw them they would be a blood red. The clothes that she wore were drenched in cold sweat. When she looked to the table there was another blood bag in a pail of ice. She did not hesitate to sink her new fangs into the bag and gulping greedily. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand she walked out of her room to where Seras's room was. She knocked and was told that she could come in.
"Um, Seras do you know where I could get a fresh change of clothes, and a shower?" Kagome asked, needing to get clean. She could smell the blood from three days ago, and it was starting to bother her. Kagome noticed that there was a full blood bag in a pail of ice on Seras's table untouched. She wondered faintly if Seras was going to eat it or not, then maybe she could have it. But her eyes were directed to Seras's when she started to talk.
"Oh yes sure. I can show you in just a minuet," Seras said as she pulled a bag of clothes out from underneath her bed. "Come on follow me," she continued and led Kagome up the stairs and into another part of the house that she had yet to visit. "Here is the bathroom that you can use. And here are some clothes that I picked out for you. I did not know your size so I had to guess, is that alright?" she asked Kagome as she handed her the bag.
"Yes, thank you," Kagome said taking the bag out of Seras's hands and opened the bathroom door. Kagome gaped at the enormous size of it. The whole bathroom was as big as her old house's bottom floor. "It is really big," Kagome said turning around.
"Yeah, it takes a little while to get used to, but the tub is huge and I am so glad the Sir Integra lets us use this bathroom instead of having us using the showers for the brackets of men," Sera's said. "'There are soaps and shampoos by the tub, and you can use what you want," Sera's said. "I will see you later then," she finished and closed the door.
Kagome walked further into the bathroom, which to her looked more like a bathhouse, then a single bathroom. She placed the bag of clothes on the sink counter, which appeared to be black and orange marble. She found some fresh white towels by the tub. Seras was right the tub was huge. It was an old-fashioned claw-foot bathtub. The faucets were a little bit complicated, but she did get them to work, and started running the water to get to the temperature. Kagome figured out how to get the shower going and started that up. She had not taken a bath since someone told her it was as if you were bathing in all the dirt that you had on you, and Kagome did not want to bath in what she had on her. That is just gross. So Kagome stripped, choose her shampoo and the soap that she was going to use and placed them on the floor in the tub. The hot water felt wonderful on her cold skin. After Kagome had washed the dirt and blood from her body, and cleansed her hair of the grime and oil she wrapped her self into a big, white, fluffy towel. (I love those!)
Kagome looked into the mirror over the sink. She could tell the differences in her appearance. He blue eyes, that she still had, but the pupil had become silted like a cats'. Her complexion, which had always been pale, seemed even whiter then what she was used to. She opened her mouth and smiled. Seeing her fangs she touched her pointer finger to one of them. They felt, strange in her mouth. Taking one last glance at her fangs Kagome opened the bag of clothes. As Kagome pulled out the various pieces of clothing from, undergarments to a pair of boots, she thanked Seras for guessing around her right size. Kagome put on a pair of black slacks with a belt, and a light blue tank top. After Kagome had finished tying her boots she gathered up the discarded jeans and t-shirt and she went back to her room.
Not a few minuets after Kagome had entered her room Alucard decided to come in not using the door once again.
"I see that you drank all your blood like a good little Priestess," Alucard said looking at the empty blood bad. Now only if he could get Seras to drink blood.
"Well it was there, and it would be rude to let it get warm and go bad," Kagome said staring at him. Alucard walked up to her, his glasses still missing but his big hat was back. He noticed that her blue eyes were silted like his own.
"You are advancing much more quicker then I suspected," Alucard said noting the rise in her power. The air around her seemed much thicker, denser, as if her power was shifting, or something along those lines. "Do you feel different?" he asked circling her as if she was prey.
"Slightly, why? Is it wrong to feel different after you become one of the undead?" Kagome said her eyes turning red.
"I am beginning to enjoy this feisty side of yours Priestess," Alucard said smirking still circling her. "But no, changes are bound to happen. But with you, I don't know what might happen. You are my first Priestess to turn," Alucard finished, stopping to stand in front of her. "Come in Walter."
"Yes, Alucard I have a weapon for Miss Kagome," Walter said coming into the room with two cases. One of which was extremely tall.
"May I come in too?" Seras asked from the hall. Kagome waved in the girl and she slid in and stood on the other side of Kagome. She eyed the empty blood bag with a worryingly gaze as she passed the table.
"I do hope that I got your height right, Miss Kagome," Walter said as he placed the cases on the table. "You are around five foot four I presume," he said and Kagome nodded her head.
"That was really quick work, Walter. I am quite impressed that you managed to make me a weapon in such a short amount of time," Kagome said which surprisingly sent the old man blushing.
"Why thank you Miss Kagome. I usually specialize in making guns, and other such weapons. Compared to that your bow was quite a piece of cake," Walter said and he snapped open the first case. Kagome reached her hand out and grasped the bow, as Walter started to explain. "It is an two hundred twenty one centimeters carbon Namisun," Walter said as Kagome examined the bow. Kagome noticed a waraji, which was a hemp pad for the bowstring, was tied near the bottom. Snapping open the next case Walter continued. "These are eighty eight centimeter Jinkishin carbon Yumi. There are both Haya and Qtya for the feathers. There are aluminum Kazuya and silver allow tips."
"Exploding?" Alucard asked picking up an arrow out of the quiver.
"No they are not," Walter said pulling opening another compartment inside the case. He pulled out a silk yumibukuro (bow wrap). It was pure white with orange and white koi fish on it. Walter also pulled out a small drawstring bag and handed it to Kagome. She opened it and pulled out a mitsugake (three-fingered glove). "They are made of a leather that should not wear too quickly, and I might advise you to wear those at all times. There are things that can burn your flesh if you do not wear them," Walter said and Kagome looked confused.
"The silver, we are burned by silver," Seras said finally speaking up.
"I hope that you are pleased, Miss Kagome?" Walter asked as he closed the cases.
"Oh yes, the craftsman ship on both the arrows and the bow are fine work," Kagome said her blue eyes shining with happiness.
"Um, Kagome, why do you have a tail?" Seras asked staring at the appendage coming from the top of Kagome's butt. Everyone's attention was turned from the bow, to behind Kagome.
"What tail?" Kagome asked then her mouth formed an 'O' when she looked over her shoulder to see the white thing. "Why do I have a tail?" Kagome asked as her tail stopped it's wagging back and worth.
"Like I said. You are advancing much quicker then usual," Alucard said and Kagome's tail disappeared from sight. "Your familiar it seems is a white animal of some form. But for it to be white, I don't know it might have to do with your priestess powers," Alucard staring down into Kagome's silted blue eyes.
"What do you mean, what is happening to me?" Kagome asked worry now visible in her blue eyes. Once again something snapped deep inside of him, like the bowstring on Kagome's bow. He glanced at both Seras and Walter, giving them a look that told them to leave the two alone. Kagome turned away from him when she noticed the two leaving. She didn't know what was going on, it confused and scared her more then anything. 'What if she hurt someone,' this thought when through her head.
Seras had all kinds of different thoughts running through her head. 'What did master want to be alone with Kagome all the time,' was one of them. It had only been a few days since he had changed her and yet it was like he was clinging to her, or something. Her master, what was going on with her master? Why does Kagome seem to be becoming more like master? Was it because she was drinking the disgusting blood? Oh yes she saw the empty blood bag. Was that the reason master was paying more attention to Kagome, because she did what she was told and actually drank the blood. She was not going to let that new girl show her up. She would show her master that she could still be the best even with out drinking blood.
"What I mean my Little Priestess," Alucard started to say once both Walter and Seras had left the room and closed the door. "Is that you are becoming a true nosfratu, or true vampire," Alucard said. "You are advancing to become like me."
"I do not want to become a heartless demon," Kagome said her eye flashing making him know that it was the other soul that had spoken. "I mean, that I don't want to change who I am. I don't want to become some bloodthirsty monster,' Kagome said coming back to herself.
Her words affected him once again. He wanted to vanish into the walls instead of facing her hurtful words. How can some words of some small woman make him so weak? He had asked himself that question over and over again in the past few days, but he had yet to come up with an answer. He was frustrated by her words and took it out on her with the next sentences that he spoke.
"You are what you are," Alucard started out his mouth twisting into the horrid smirk. "You have already become a monster, and you were one long before you met me," Alucard said seeing tears in the corner of her eyes he held his resolve and continued. "I cannot believe that you can't understand yet, you are such a stupid woman," Alucard said and left the room before he broke down and did something that he would regret, but that was to late. He had done something to her that he already regretted, he mad her like him, and now she would hate him. Alucard thought the same thoughts that he had the same night that he had made her.
Kagome was crying by the time the red color of Alucard's coat last disappeared from her blurry sight. Why had he said such things to her? He had been so kind to her up till just then. Was it something about her that just pushed people away? Once Kagome got her tears under control, the phone in her room rang. They wanted her to go on a mission.
"Kagome, let's go," Seras said coming into her room with what looked like a rocket launcher on her shoulder. Seras noted Kagome's red eyes, but she did not say anything about it.
"Alright," Kagome said giving her eyes one last rub, and she pulled on her gloves and got her new bow and quiver and went with Seras where ever they were going she would hopefully get her emotions out through battle.
A/N: Well this chapter was kind of a filler chapter, but the next one I am not too sure about, I am going to have a large fight scene, suggestions would be welcomed considering I haven't even begun an outline for the next chapter yet, So I will wait like one more day before I begin it to get some reviews in. Also on another note, Kurama'sFoxyMiko gave me the idea about Kagome's familiar being a well, yall don't know yet. Yeah well she gave me that idea, and also about Kagome's eyes being blue, I have only seen the anime, so I though that her eyes were brown, so that has been changed. I have also gotten all my information about Kagome's bow and her other accessories from if you would like to go see what the bow would look like you can go there and also the Japanese names for the types of arrows are on there also.
Yall are lucky that I got this out today. I went fishing this morning and almost didn't start typing for this story. I love fishing. I caught about ten keepers and around total I caught about forty or so, but I did manage to catch the most out of three guys and one girl, the girl which would be me, and I also managed to catch the biggest ones too. I think that it might be a girl thing. I bet you can guess what I had for dinner. :P
I think it is time to thank the reviewers…
