Chapter 4
Hellsing manor
Alucard coughed and sneezed like crazy; apparently he wasn't getting any better. He could hardly speak his throat was so sore, for that both Pip and Seras were glad for and as was Walter.
The doorbell rang and Walter answered it and was rather surprised and shocked to see Anderson with a woman by his side. "Don't worry, I ain't here to kill the vampire, just wanna see how he's doing." Alexander explained to Walter and Walter nodded and let the two in, "Top floor third door on the right." Walter said and Alexander and the woman nodded and walked upstairs as Walter headed back to the kitchen.
There was a soft knock on the door and then the door opened, Alucard was so glad to see his new friend Alexander Anderson with his girlfriend/wife? Alucard wasn't sure. "Well, I can see you ain't getting any better." Anderson said as he saw all the paper tissues all over the place. Alucard just shrugged and looked at Maria, Anderson saw he was looking at his fiancé "Hm, Alucard, this lovely woman here is my fiancé Maria Confetti." Alexander said and put an arm around his fiancé's waist and the two smiled, Alucard nodded and Maria quickly started to gather up all the tissues, "It is not good to see you are so sick, Alucard." Maria said with her lovely Italian accent. Alucard tried to speak but nothing came out, the count frowned and rolled his eyes but received a pat on the shoulder from Anderson. Seeing his new friend and former enemy smile it made him smile, a little bit. Not long after Maria had cleaned the room and Alucard tried to say 'Thank you' but she held up her hands "No need to thank me, Alucard." She said and sat down on a chair and looked concerned for the count, "So, truth or dare Alucard?" Anderson teased and chuckled, Alucard gave his friend a look that he wished could kill at the moment and Maria gave him the same look. "What? I was just teasing!" Anderson said and messed with Alucard's hair, making it point in all directions, raising his eyebrow Alexander cleared his throat "When was the last time you took a shower?" He said and looked at his friend who looked away and made an innocent baby face, like a child that did something wrong but was trying to hide it by using a cute look. "Aw, so cute!" Maria totally fell for it but Anderson on the other hand picked up his friend, through him over his shoulder and began to walk to the bathroom.
Struggling and kicking Alucard tried to free himself but to no avail. He even tried to push himself out of Alexander's grip but he failed. "Maria, be a dear and run Alucard here a bath." Anderson said and Maria nodded and Alucard's eyes grew wide with fear and began to struggle a lot more. He didn't like baths! And he took one once a century or so. "Let…me…go…" Alucard struggled out of him as he kicked and pulled to get himself free. "Nope." Anderson gave him a plain answer and held him tight.
Four agonizing hours later, Alucard was clean but Maria and Anderson were all wet and tired. They had ended up washing the count, Maria had also ended up putting on clean covers on the bed and so now Alucard sat on the clean bed all clean. His hands were folded across his chest and he was giving both Maria and Alexander a mean look. Now all that was left was to comb the count's hair but the two knew the vampire wasn't going to let them do that without putting up a fight.
"Gees, Alucard. You're like a big baby." Anderson said only to receive a low growl from the count. Maria returned with a brush and a hairdryer. Alucard gulped and his eyes widened in horror. The two suddenly and very quickly jumped Alucard and Anderson managed to hold Alucard still as his fiancé Maria combed his hair.
Two hours later the three were fast asleep in a bundle on the bed. ((A/N: Alucard in the middle since he was the baby and had a rather baby like face while he slept XD)) Walter came walking in and saw the three and found the sight rather cute, deciding not to wake them up he closed the door again and went to find Seras and Pip who were very hard to find right now.
Maria woke up with a yawn and tried not to squeal at the adorable sight before her. Alucard had a foot over Anderson and an arm, while Anderson was pretty much fast asleep beneath those two limbs from the vampire. And to top it off, Alucard was snoring and so was Anderson, with his thumb in his mouth. Maria wished she had a camera, then remembered she had one in her purse so she took it out and took a picture. Giggling she walked out of the room and showed Walter, Seras and Pip the picture and then the four joined in a well enjoyed laugh, that caused stomach pains and headaches and teary eyes.
An hour later Anderson woke up and had ended up rolling Alucard of off him with much grumbling and low cursing. The only response Alucard gave was a loud snore and so Alexander had ended up laying the count face down on the pillow. Half an hour later Alucard woke up with feathers in his mouth and in his hair, "What the?" He said tiredly and shook his head, the feathers not leaving his hair. As Alucard walked around the manor, he noticed he was home alone. He smirked and went into the kitchen and started to look for the chocolate-smarties-chip cookies. Eventually he found at least forty boxes and had a bright mischievous look on his face with a wide wicked smile. "Mine, all mine!" He whispered victorious and attacked the boxes.
"Do you think Alucard is awake?" Maria asked as she got in through the front door holding two bags of groceries. Anderson soon followed and shrugged "I don't know." He said and then Walter came tumbling after, literally. He thanked the two for coming with him shopping and as they entered the kitchen the first thing that came out of Walter's mouth was "Holy shit. He found the bloody boxes." Maria looked dumbfounded at the mess; she was a woman who couldn't take mess, which should have proven itself when she cleaned the tissue papers in Alucard's room. Suddenly a blur went passed them and a giggle. "Alucard, I order you to stop and-" "No way! You're gonna make me clean it up! NEVER!" Walter was interrupted by Alucard's protest, which sounded rather childish. The butler sighed and placed the bags he was holding on the kitchen table, as did Anderson and Maria, then Alexander and Walter went looking for Alucard while Maria was cleaning up the mess after Alucard in the kitchen. Devious laughter could be heard echoing throughout the manor but every time they were close to getting the count; he always seemed to disappear! "Heh, you can't find me!" Alucard mused.
Six hours later, Walter walked into Alucard's bedroom to find him sprawled out on the bed clutching his head and groaning in pain, "That should teach you not to eat so many cookies, or any cookies for that matter." The butler said and turned around "I'll be right back with some painkillers for you and a glass of water. "Cookies…" Alucard muttered before Walter got a chance to leave "No, no more cookies for you!" The butler said harshly making Alucard frown.
A little while later Seras walked into the room to see her master look worse then before "Oh my god! Master! Are you all right?" She asked worried and ran over to his side and put a hand on his shoulder, "No, I need cookies." He said and she nodded "I'll go get some for you!" She said quickly and left the room in a hurry, smirking evilly Alucard knew he would get a cookie. A few minutes had passed and Walter entered the room with the glass of water and painkillers; he left the glass and the tablets on the bedside table and left again. A little while later Seras came back with a box of cookies with rum flavor! Alucard's eyes sparkled with joy and in the most happiest (and creepiest) voice he thanked Seras with a wide smile. Seras just slowly backed out of the room and left. Alucard gulped down the painkillers first and then the cookies.
Two hours later Maria came up with a cup of herbal tea that worked wonders on headaches and stomachaches, "Cookies." Alucard said as he sat up in bed and Maria shook her head, "No, Alucard. You don't want to get sicker then you are so no more cookies for you!" She said harshly and gave Alucard a mothering look (and a scary one that was) that made Alucard whine and lower his head as he slowly drank the tea away.
On the third hour Alucard had fallen asleep in a sitting position that made Anderson snort and put a hand over his mouth as to not brake out and squeal an 'Aww'. Alucard had one had up, still holding the cup of tea, his knees were up to his chest and his other hand was on his left knee and one of Alucard's eyes were open and his mouth was open in a silent snore. But as he turned to leave Alucard woke up dropping the cup and saying "Cookies!" He looked around to see a sniggering Alexander Anderson in the doorway, "I'll go get ya some cookies." The ex-paladin said with a snort and walked downstairs to the kitchen and got Alucard a box of cookies. "Yay! Cookies!" Alucard squealed happily as Anderson returned with the box of cookies, this time they were strawberry-chipped with a hint of cherry flavor.
Paris, France
Integra and Maxwell had a very good day. They had gone shopping and gone sightseeing and even gone to the pet store, where Integra had seen the cutest puppy poodle ever! But no matter how much she wanted it, she couldn't have it; she already had Alucard to take care off back home in England. And he could be a real handful sometimes! Okay, always! Only a week and a half remained until they would go back home to England so they decided to say 'Au revoua' ((A/N; If I don't write this right please let me know! In review please. I'm not good in French. I only know a few words…can't speak it though but it is a lovely language. So are German, Italian and all other languages XD)) to France and go to Helsinki, Finland. They started packing immediately and ordered two plain tickets and then were on their way, first class.
Hellsing manor, rooftops
"ALUCARD! GET DOWN FROM THERE!" Walter shouted as Alucard climbed the roof and took hold of the antenna laughing manically. At that moment Walter realized Alucard had some how gotten into the cookies again, but how? The butler turned to Maria, Seras, Anderson and Pip, "All right. Who here gave Alucard cookies, raise your hands?" He asked and waited. Trembling Seras Victoria raised her hand, then Anderson and then Pip. Walter let out a frustrated sigh taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes. Calmly he put them back on and looked at the trio, and then suddenly, "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU GIVE HIM MORE COOKIES AFTER WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE?!" He shouted and the trio jolted, except for Pip who jumped up in the air and landed on Seras who hit the roof grounds face first.
"Wee!" The five all looked up and saw Alucard swinging on the antenna! Then the antenna bent and finally broke and both the antenna and Alucard flew off the roof and hit a bush of roses. Alucard had his face buried deep down in the mud with his feet up in the air and struggling to get out. Deep down in the mud along with Alucard's face was a family of worms, apparently Alucard had destroyed their home and they were now crawling/slithering into his ears and nostrils and mouth. To the count this was all rather funny, sense he was on a sugar high and pretty much more sick then he had been.
