"Hey Nita!" a tall blonde girl called out as Nita walked into her Medical Terminology class.
"Oh hi Andrea," Nita smiled shyly in response.
"Did you see our substitute? He's sooo creepy!" Andrea remarked.
"But he's kinda hot in a creepy way," another one of Nita's friends, Alison amended.
"True. But he's all dressed in red, like he's trying to be Satan!" Andrea squeaked.
"He emits strange waves," yet another one of Nita's friends, Allana added. Nita turned to the front of the class and saw Alucard, sitting on a stool, apparently asleep. As soon as she looked at him, he raised his head and smirked.
"Oh Kami-sama," Nita mumbled, feeling her face flush.
"Nita… our creepy sub is staring at you," Andrea remarked nervously.
"Uh no… it must be someone else," Nita muttered.
"No, he's staring at you. That man emits such bloodthirsty waves…." Allana told Nita frankly.
"Class, it's time to begin," Alucard announced. The class settled down instantly.
"It's my belief-"
"Hey who ARE you?" one student asked.
"Yeah, what happened to ?" Andrea demanded.
"-That you have a test today," Alucard finished, ignoring the students' questions and holding up a stack of papers. "You all are going to take it,"
"But-"
"NOW," Alucard ordered, passing out the papers. One by one, each student nervously filled out their tests. Of course, Nita finished her test first. But during the whole test, she had a disconcerting feeling that Alucard was staring at her…
"After class, he walked up to her.
"What other classes do you have today?" he asked.
"No more today-"
"Good. I'd better go find Police Girl and find out how she let you get away," Alucard grumbled.
"She drove me here," Nita told Alucard quietly. At this time, Andrea, Allana and Alison swarmed around her.
"Uh, Mysterious Substitute Dressed in Red, we need to borrow Nita," Andrea told Alucard bravely. Alucard shrugged, but listened in on their conversation.
"You know our sub?" Andrea demanded.
"He more knows me…" Nita mumbled.
"How? Spill!" Alison demanded.
"Well, you remember Adrian?" Nita asked.
"Oh yeah… where is he?" Allana asked.
"Adrian tried… to… uh… pull a fast one on me… and out sub … er… saved me…" Nita lied, thinking fast.
'Oh wow! How scary!" Andrea murmured in awe.
"So what did you do?" Alison asked, enraptured.
"Uh… I screamed and ran," Nita told them truthfully.
"Good move. I hope Adrian doesn't come back… he always gave me the creeps. You listen girlfriend, that asshole even looks at you again, you let me know, and I'll kick his ass from here to Mars and back!" Andrea told Nita.
"I don't think you'll have to worry about Adrian any more… I'm going to the library," Nita told her friends.
"You sure you don't wanna go to the smoothie bar with us?" Alison asked.
"I'll pay for you," Allana offered.
"I… I just am… uh… a little… er… freaked out… you know…" Nita mumbled, turning red.
"Oh, with Adrian trying to rape you and all. It's all cool, my friend. We'll just rain check it," Alison assured Nita with a pat on the back.
"Yes, Nita, you seem to be in need of some smoothie therapy. Your waves are out of whack," Allana added.
"Okay!" Nita said cheerfully, dashing off to the library.
In the library, Seras was sitting in the back, reading a book.
"Hey Newbie," Seras said to Nita jokingly.
"… I think that I am in trouble," Nita mumbled, sitting next to Seras.
"Why?" Seras asked. At this moment, Alucard stepped out of the shadows.
"I thought I told you to show the human the ropes, Police Girl," Alucard told Seras coldly.
"She had a test though!" Seras defended her self.
"Yes! I couldn't miss it!" Nita added.
"I looked at your file- you've had flawless grades all three years you've been in college," Alucard remarked. "You could've made it up. The professor would've given you an exception. Also, if the professor had given you grief, your friends would've descended on him like a pack of ravenous wolves,"
"My friends aren't ravenous wolves," Nita mumbled softly.
"You should've seen them when they went to talk to you about me," Alucard told Nita with a smirk.
"Well, I figured that I could just show Nita around after the test, so that everyone would be happy," Seras pointed out.
"You still shouldn't let a human push you around," Alucard told Seras sternly.
"But can't she control blood? Isn't that dangerous?"Seras demanded. Alucard burst out laughing.
"You honestly think that the human would actually kill you?" Alucard snickered. Nita shot Alucard a dirty look.
"I'm still here you know," she muttered angrily.
"Do your original job, Police Girl," Alucard told Seras coldly, before melting into the shadows.
"Yes, Master," Seras mumbled.
"Why do you call Alucard-san 'Master'?" Nita asked.
"Alucard was the one who turned me into a vampire," Seras told Nita.
"Oh… I'm still getting used to the whole 'vampire' thing," Nita mumbled.
"Actually, so am I," Seras admitted. "Not being able to handle silverware sucks sometimes.
"Use chopsticks," Nita suggested.
"Eh? Chopsticks? This is England, not Japan," Seras reminded Nita.
"Oh. Sorry," Nita apologized.
"It's okay. But you know, I'm really supposed to be drinking blood," Seras told Nita as they were driving back to Hellsing headquarters.
"Well, why don't you then? Can't you use the medical blood hospitals have? I'm guessing-er- hoping that's what Alucard-san drinks," Nita pointed out.
"Well, I know I should, but every time I try, it's like there is a voice in my head that tells me not to," Seras explained.
"Oh… so you're like a vampire anorexic," Nita murmured.
"I guess," Seras sighed.
"Hey Seras-chan? Do you want to go with my friends and get some smoothies? I don't know if you can drink them or not…" Nita trailed off.
"I can have those kinds of things in small quantities… but they don't taste good," Seras informed Nita. "But I'd love to go!"
"Great! So all you now have to do is show me the ropes!" Nita exclaimed.
" Okay... I'm just warning you… the Hellsing organization is really big," Seras warned Nita.
-Five Hours Later-
"Are *gasp* we *gasp* done yet?" Nita wheezed, reaching the top of a stairwell.
"One more floor," Seras told Nita cheerily.
As they reached the top of the stairs, Alucard stepped out of the shadows. Nita squeaked, jumped backwards, and tumbled down the stairs.
"Aarg!" Nita yelled, rubbing her head. She could hear Alucard's velvety voice chuckling from the top of the stairs.
"Are you okay?"Seras asked, sliding down the stair rail.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Nita mumbled. Alucard popped up in front to Nita.
"So you're done with the tour?" Alucard demanded.
"Yeah," Seras answered.
"Good. Now it's time to see what you can do," Alucard told Nita.
Inuyoshie's after-the –chapter Special!
Hiyas! Thank you for reading chappie four!
Sorry about the cliffhanger. They seem to come out of me naturally!
Also, sorry about the wait. I think I am working on too many fanfics at once. *sighs*
Please don't be angry at me for letting Seras drink smoothies. What would life be like without them though? And if Alucard can drink coffee… although, he puts blood in it. So I'll bet that if you put blood in smoothie, it would taste good to a vampire.
Yes, Allana is inspired by Hana Jima from Fruits Basket. Heheh… I just had to put her in.
Yes, I think about these things. This is a pure sign that I need a hobby.
I typed this up while listening to 'Overdrive' by IOSYS. Good song!
Please review this bad boy!
