Blood fibers

Chapter 3

Nui finally came to a stop outside an old apartment block, she had finally arrived at her destination she had been searching for so long but she was finally here.

A gang of teens were loitering around outside laughing, drinking and smoking. As Nui drew closer two of the gang of teens walked up to her.

"Hey love you got a lighter?" Nui shook her head in response

"Okay, if you don't mind me asking what're you doing round here late at night don't you know it's… risky" Nui felt a hand land on her left butt cheek and inwardly scowled. If he doesn't take his hand off I'm going to beat his face in.

"I can handle myself thanks though" she said cutely outwards, the other teens had begun to crowd her now.

"Awww don't be like that love I mean we know how to treat awoman, right lads" the group laughed as they closed in. The one who spoke, who was behind her, wrapped his arms tightly around her waist in an attempt to hold her in place; it was the last mistake he ever made.

In an instant Nui's hands were out of her gloves and morphed in to blades, she spun round out of the teens grip and rammed her right blade through the teens mouth and out the back of his neck in an explosion of bone chips and crimson viscera she leaned in close to whisper to him "Good, I know how to treat a man" she said as she yanked the blades out causing blood to geyser out of his ruined mouth before spinning and lopping his head off in a clean swipe letting a fountain of blood to wash over her and his friends.

"YOU BITCH" roared one of the teens as he pulled out a knife and stabbed Nui in the chest.

"Tee hee hee that tickles" Nui giggled the teen paled slightly before he was run through by Nui, blood flooded from his mouth before Nui removed her blades and stabbed them into his eyes before yanking them down separating his body into three slices. The remaining teens turned and ran when they saw Nui remove the knife in her chest and the wound she had sustained healed instantly.

"Awww I wanted to play some more." She pouted before giggling and skipping inside heedless of the blood that drenched her.

Alucard and Seras were parked in a local car park, Seras was supping a strawberry milkshake and Alucard was on the phone to Integra.

"So she escaped."

"Yes master, she is defiantly is not an ordinary human, yet I could not smell any vampiric taint on her, I couldn't even begin to guess what she is." The line was silent as Integra let that sink in.

"So I think it's safe to assume that whatever she is, we have no knowledge of how to deal with her."

"Shoot her enough times she'll stay down." Commented Seras off handedly, still slurping her milkshake. Alucard merely cocked his head to the side in a 'you can't be serious' manner.

"What?"

"Anyway master, I called to see if you may be able to pull up a lead"

"hmm." There was the sound of typing; Integra seemed to talk to someone, probably Walter, before she spoke again.

"We may have one, a group of teens were seen snooping around where Nui was last seen, they seem to be staying at the 'ole imperial hotel' in Northern London, according to MI5 they seem to be from the same school in Japan as Nui."

"Are they accomplices"

"No, I don't think so their search tactics suggest they're searching for a fugitive, but assume nothing if you plan to meet them don't take anything at face value, be diplomatic but ready to fight in an instant."

"Of course master." Alucard hung up and turned to Seras just as she finished her beverage.

"Come along Police girl we have a lead."

"Will you stop with this 'police girl' business, my name is Seras, S-E-R-A-S now fucking use it." She cried angrily

"Whatever you say police girl" Alucard said mockingly causing Seras to glare at him in such a way that it actually sent a shiver down his spine.

Ryuko Matoi looked at the photo in her hand, it was the one from the apartment which depicted Nui with a man who had been blurred out, she had also noted it had the word 'tailor' written on the back, she tried to work out who this man could be while waiting for Houka to come up with a new lead for their investigation. After searching Nui's apartment for a good while they had come up empty on clues so they decided to search the internet for any mention of this 'tailor' person but so far nothing, she was deep in thought when a crashing came from down the hall.

"SANAGEYMA GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM."

"Gahh sssooorrryyy." Uzu cried as he came flying down the hall way dodging various thrown objects in the process.

"Still trying Uzu?" Ryuko questioned with a small chuckle.

"She wants me she just won't admit it." Ryuko leveled him with an incredulous look.

"Are you thick or just desperate"

"I'm offended you think so lowly of me." Uzu cried in mock offense Ryuko went to retort when they heard a knock at the door. Deciding to get away from Uzu she got up to answer the door.

At the door was a young buxom blonde woman who looked to be about 20 years old dressed in what looked like a blue military uniform, with white tights black boots and a large caliber rifle slung over her shoulders.

"Good evening miss, I was wondering I'm a member of the British armed forces we are currently searching for the woman in this photo." The Blonde handed her a photo and she instantly recognized the woman in the picture, Nui harime.

"S-Sorry I don't know who she is" Ryuko cursed herself for her stutter.

"Are you sure?" the woman questioned her with narrowed eyes; Ryuko nodded her head defiance clear in her posture.

"Hey Ryuko who's- Oh is that a picture of Nui." Cried Mako causing Ryuko to turn white and start to sweat.

"Don't know who she is hey?" Asked the woman crossly with her arms crossed.

"Ma'm I'm going to have to insist that you answer some questions." Said the woman, Ryuko heard a gun cocking and looked to the side to see a large man in a red coat and hat with orange glasses pointing a massive hand cannon at her face.

"RYUKO!" cried Mako launching herself at the man, surprised he didn't have time to swing his gun around, but the woman launched an impossibly quick punch at Mako slamming her into the wall. Deciding to defend her friend Ryuko launched herself forward and tackled the blonde woman to the ground.

Ryuko launched a flurry of punches at the woman; she had her arms up blocking each strike with her forearms trying to wait out Ryuko's barrage. Then without warning the woman grabbed Ryuko's arm brought her down and slammed an elbow into the side of her face, Ryuko found herself on her back holding her Jaw when the woman in a remarkable show of strength lifted her into the air and launched her down the corridor. Ryuko managed to recover quickly, but was unprepared when a rifle butt smashed into her face and knocked her to the ground. Slightly dazed and confused she was unable to move when there was the sound of a gun cocking, she looked up and could just make out through bleary eyes the barrel of a large gun pointed at her face.

"Now then, who is Nui Harime?"

Seras Victoria hadn't known what to expect when she had knocked on the door that their lead was supposedly staying. But when the teen attacked her in such a flurry she was honestly surprised, she was even more surprised when a kendo racked against her back, she stumbled forward allowing the girl to bring her foot up and boot Seras in the face. Seras spun around and once again found herself on her back slightly dazed but quickly recovered and got to her feet.

She was now facing the same girl and a young teenage boy with green hair, and the kendo stick that had distracted her in his grasp.

"Who are you?" questioned the boy menacingly.

"Classified" Seras replied with a malicious smile as she allowed her vampire half to take control, she felt her eyes heat up as they turned blood red and with that she launched herself forward. There was a flash and then the girl was blocking her punch while now clad in a… stylized bikini.

"The fuck happened to your clothes!" Seras couldn't help but question.

"That's the least of your worries." The girl launched a kick at Seras who expertly dodged, she allowed herself a second to survey the situation. Alucard was dealing with two girls one with black hair and a stylized officers uniform the other had pink hair and was wearing what looked like a pair of stereos on her shoulders and apart from some bits on her arms, legs and covering her modesty… not much else, that and she was also flying. What the hell is with these people? Questioned Seras randomly before returning her mind to the present in time to block a strike from the green haired boy with his kendo stick, she used her rifle as a shield and knocked him back but was forced to block the girls strike with what looked like one half of a pair of scissors but made into a sword of sorts. The blade knocked the rifle to the floor and cut into her flesh, Seras felt it slice from her clavicle down to her sternum before it was yanked out. The girl had a remorseful expression on her face, or she did until Seras began to heal right in front of her then her arm morphed into a mass of shadowy tentacles and her uniform changed from blue to crimson red, her eyes once a serene blue were now a furious red. Seras rocketed forward the shadow matter formed into a fist, which slammed into the green haired boy knocking him out in one hit. The girl was shocked but was unable to do much before the tentacles wrapped around her restraining from moving, she looked over and saw her other friends were also either restrained or unconscious, unable to break out and with no hope of rescue she would not be able to move away pulled the trigger of the rifle whose barrel was currently placed against her head, Seras smiled an evil little smile and said in a cool chilling voice.

"Now, let's ask those questions."
