Chapter 3
Something was different today Alucard could feel it in the air. Whatever energy was trailing through the hallways sent shivers down his spine. His dark instincts sent alarm bells ringing in his mind making him more excited. Beside him the police girl scratched at her arm trying to make her skin stop crawling. Instead of choosing the door Alucard slipped through the wall in his Master's office.
"You called?"
Integra was sitting behind her desk and Walter was no where in sight.
"You probably already know that I have a new guest in the-."
"Is that what delicious energy is?" Alucard interrupted letting his grin get wider.
"Yes. Her name is Kagome and she will be staying with us for six months or until the situation at hand is resolved. She is to make sure you don't get to carried away."
That wiped the grin straight off his face.
"A babysitter. And what makes you think they can stop me if I feel like getting 'carried away'?"
Integra's fingers started to tap on her desk. A tell tale sign she was getting irritated.
"She has power meant to disable your own, and before you get any ideas she is to be kept in one piece. If I even hear a word of her getting hurt, your blood supply will be halved for a while!"
Alucard smirked. This was new and exciting. He had never heard of a power that can stifle his own. Who was this woman?
"When do we meet her?"
"Walter is going to get her now. This wont make much of a difference if I say it or not, but be on your best behavior."
"Have you found everything to your liking Miss Kagome?"
"Everything is fine, thank you sir."
Though the room was a bit stuffy for her tastes the bed was absolutely heavenly. She was able to get a quick nap even before getting ready to meet with her new teammate.
"Please call me Walter. I am the butler here so if you ever need anything do let me know."
"Oh ok. Um, Walter? Why is there such a dark aura hanging over this place?"
Walter glanced at her but kept walking.
"Aura you say? As you know we do have two vampires on the premises. One is very old and strong."
"The one I'm supposed to watch? He's that strong?"
"Indeed."
Stopping at the door of the study Kagome could feel him. His energy was swirling around her and almost tugging her closer. She felt shivers roll up her spine. Whoever was on the other side didn't shy away from her energy as she let out a tendril of it to poke at his own.
The door clicked open and Walter motioned for her to go in first.
The last thing she expected to see was only Integra and a smaller woman in a strange uniform in the room. Kagome took another step in and heard the door close. Where was that energy? It was like it disappeared.
Suddenly a heavy mass draped itself over and the aura was back tenfold.
"My. If I didn't know any better I would think you were flirting with me. Caressing my energy like that."
An arm wove itself around her and pushed her further into his arms. His cool breath puffed out onto the side of her neck raising goosebumps on her whole body. Integra shot out of her seat.
"Alucard that's enough!"
If Kagome had met him five years ago maybe he would have scared her but now he was just pissing her off. Tired of the theatrics Kagome sent out a powerful zap that had the bloodsucker flying.
"Master!"
The girl in the police uniform ran across the room to aid her master. Only to be pushed out of the way so Alucard had full view of the petite Asian woman. What was left of his face was in a wicked grin. That energy actually hurt. It even slowed his regeneration skills. The next six months were going to be interesting.
Sadly neither Seras or Kagome shared the same enthusiasm. If Seras' skin itched before now it was air was still filled with that horrible electricity that made her want to claw at her skin. Kagome on the other hand was livid. Marching up to the vampire she bent down to eye level and bared her human teeth.
"Listen! I don't know who you think you are but you can't just jump on me like that!"
Kagome ended her rant in a huff and crossed her arms.
Alucard reappeared next to Integra.
"She is an absolute treat, Integra. Can we keep her?"
Alucard giggled in absolute delight as Kagome snarled in his general direction.
Integra tapped her fingers on her desk.
This could have gone better...
