Regretful Heart Ache:

Part 4

Kagome and Seras both ran as fast as they could to get up and out of the basement. The soon met up with a team, which Seras was familiar with, but not Kagome and she was hesitant to get in such a cramped space with strange men. They all looked at her like a piece of meat, not like she hasn't had that happen to her before, with all her travels into the past with hungry demons. But these guys were looking at her more lust in their eyes then she was comfortable with. She smiled slightly showing off her fangs, and waved at them. She sat down in the only empty space, her bow touching the top so she had to tilt it at an angle. The men scooted as far away from her as they could, once they got that she was a vampire. She could sense their fear then and she reveled in it. The vehicle jerked into motion and then they were on their way. What lied ahead of them? God only knew.

She had no idea that there could be so many ghouls in one place. The ones that she dealt with at her family's shrine could not compare what she was met with when they arrived at the shipyards. The docks were lined with boats, containers and ghouls. Seras and the other soldiers around her did not hesitate to start killing the ghouls off.

"Come on Priestess show them what you can do," Alucard said in her mind knocking Kagome back into action and she unwrapped her bow tying the cloth into her hair to keep it back and the possible blood out of it. Placing the quiver on her back she adorned her gloves and started to fire regular arrows to get used to the bow. Her first shot flew right passed Seras who turned to look back at her with a 'what the hell are you shooting in my direction for' look. Her arrow landed in the skull of a ghoul and it dropped to the ground.

Once she had gotten used to the new bow she began pouring her powers slowly in to each arrow making them more and more powerful after each one. The last arrow she had just shot killed about fifteen ghouls. The arrows normally pink light, Kagome noticed, that the more and more power that she put into the arrows that she shot the more that the color was streamed with black.

Soon, too soon for Kagome's comfort, she was left alone with everyone spread out destroying the ghouls that they might have missed. She thought she saw one walking to her; she took aim and fired, but before the arrow reached him he pulled out a sword and blocked her arrow, well diverted it because that arrow shattered the sword.

"Well it seems like they picked up another little pet," the man said coming closer and closer, his glasses catching a glare of light coming off a light post. To him he looked like one of the many semi-humanoid looking demons that she had killed.

"Who are you?" Kagome asked keeping her bow drawn tight. Usually this would have caused her fingers to start bleeding but since Walter had given her those gloves she wouldn't bleed, at least not because of the bow.

"I don't think that you need to know that. You will be dead here is just a second," he said once more and pulled out another sword, from who knows where, to replace the one that she had shattered with her arrow.

"I am not an easy one to kill," Kagome said not faltering, not moving back as he moved forward.

"We will just have to see about that now won't we. Ashes to ashes dust to dust," the man said and threw his swords at her aiming for her head and her heart. Kagome quickly let go of the string and she managed to shatter the one that was aimed for her head, but the one aimed for her heart missed and landed in her left bicep. She gasped out in pain. "A talented one that you are."

"Son of a bitch," Kagome growled through her clenched teeth as she took the chance and she placed her bow on her shoulder and grasped the handle yanking the blade from her arm. He blood oozed out, her powers healing up the wounds faster then the man with the swords in front of Kagome would have thought.

"You are a different one," the man said pulling out another sword.

"Now, now Anderson, I can't have you putting holes in my Priestess, now can I," Alucard said stepping from the shadows, and standing beside Kagome. She was staring at the ground where her blood had landed. Alucard wrapped is hand around the back of her neck to lift her head up to look at him. Her eyes were once again in cat like slits and they had lost their blue color to be replaced by a blood red. They were glazed over with bloodlust. Alucard smirked. He took her bow and quiver from her back and undid her hair from the cloth. He handed her a knife, the very some one that she had with her when she first met him. He smirked as he bent down to whisper in her ear.

"Show me what a monster can do," Alucard said his breath hot against the cold skin of her neck. Alucard gave Kagome a slight push forward and she moved with amazing speed towards Anderson. Their blades clashed and sparks flew. Kagome had gotten Anderson across the neck, but with his healing abilities it sealed up before he could die from the wound. Kagome was not the only one who had gotten a few hits. Anderson had nearly taken her arm off, cutting all the way to the bone and getting stuck in her arm as it started to heal around the sword imbedded in her wound. She screamed in frustration as she once again pulled a blade from her body.

Seras watched Kagome's fight with Anderson on top of a container some five hundred feet away. She saw Kagome's wounds healing right away. She looked down at her own injured arm. It was still bleeding. A piece of scrap metal from one of the containers had hit her. Was it because Kagome drank the blood that her wounds healed faster then her own? Master had told her something like that when she fist became a vampire. She was jealous and she knew it. She watched her master leaning against a container watching the battle against Kagome and Anderson with a broad smirk on his lips. Seras wanted her Master to be pleased with her also, to look at her and only her with his eyes. Her eyes turned red and with that in mind Seras jumped down from the container that she was a top of and she ran straight forward to Kagome, to see if she could be something in her master's eyes instead of some weakling.

"Get out of my way," Kagome growled as Seras kicked Anderson in the back knocking him out of Kagome's strike range. Kagome slashed at Anderson catching the bridge of his nose. He backed into Seras who was knocked on the ground by the force of Anderson's movement. Alucard chose this moment to step in.

"You stupid Police Girl," Alucard said hauling her up by the back of her shirt and tossing her out form under Anderson before he stabbed her in her heart. He then grabbed the back of Kagome's shirt and pushed her away form him. "Stay there," Alucard growled at Seras as she made a move to attack Anderson again. Her eyes hadn't even changed to a red color yet. She wasn't even trying to fight Anderson.

Alucard fought Anderson for a short time. He had gotten stabbed in the heart and in his leg, but he had put a couple dozen bullets into Anderson's head before he transported himself with his papers and a promise that he will kill them all the next time. Alucard turned towards Seras and Kagome. Seras had gotten up, but Kagome was lying on the ground and staring at the spilled blood with heated red eyes and her breath was coming out in fast breaths.

"Priestess," Alucard called out to her, his voice firm. Kagome snapped back her eyes going back to their blue color and staring into her masters. She got up slowly and wobbled on her feet. She looked down at her self; she was covered in her blood and the blood of Anderson and ghouls. All her wounds had healed though. She looked back up at Alucard and moved towards him.

"Alucard," Kagome said and she collapsed right in front of him. He caught her in his arms, never letting her touch the ground.

"Yes, my Priestess/" Alucard asked staring down at the girl in his arms.

"I'm hungry," Kagome said and rested her head against Alucard's bloodied clothes. Alucard chuckled, a deep laugh that reverberated through him and in to Kagome. He smirked.

"Let's see what we can do about that," he said and turned towards Seras. "Your humans are waiting for you to catch up with them to go back to the manor," Alucard said staring at her with a stern look. "Go now before they decided to leave you here." And with that Alucard disappeared with Kagome in his arms clinging to him like a child.

"Come in," Integra said sitting at her desk. The door to Integra's office creaked open and Seras Victoria slowly walked inside. "What is it that you want?" Integra asked not even looking up from her paper work.

"I wanted to talk to you," Seras said walking closer to Integra's desk.

"Well then talk," Integra said setting down her pen and looking at Seras. She looked troubled to Integra, but as long as the girl had been here she, rarely, had not seen a troubled look on the girls face.

"I want to become stronger, for Master." Seras said.

"Then just drink the medical blood."

"But I can't," Seras said diverting her eyes away from Integra. "I don't want to become a monster, and lose my self."

"Come here," Integra ordered and Seras stepped around her desk to stand in front of her. Integra took off her glove from one hand and with the other she grabbed a letter opener. She sliced her finger of her ungloved hand and the blood poured from the wound.

"What are you doing Sir Integra?" Seras asked backing away as Integra stood up and walked closer to her.

"I want you to lick my wound, least it gets infected," Integra said offering her hand closer to Seras's mouth.

"But Integra," Seras said losing Integra's title and staring at her bleeding finger with blood red eyes. Seras slowly brought her mouth closer and closer to Integra's hand and gently slipped her tongue out of her mouth to touch the tip of the bleeding finger. Soon her mouth had engulfed the entire finger sucking on the wound greedily. It wasn't until the blood stopped that Seras let go of Integra's hand.

"See, you are not loosing who you are, changing yes, but you are still Seras Victoria," Integra said to the dazed girl putting her glove back on. "Now go back to your room and drink your blood and get stronger. That is one of the reasons Kagome is gaining her powers and strength faster then you are."

Alucard was smirking while he watched Kagome devour five medical blood bags. She had lost a considerably large amount of blood, he noticed that when he had lifted her into his arms and brought her back in to the manor and into the basement where he sat her on the bed and handed her a blood bag. As soon as she was done with the first she had asked for another, then another, until her hunger had been satisfied by the fifth bag.

"You really are such a messy eater," Alucard said looking at her bloodied hands as she dropped the bag to the floor the remaining blood spilling all over the ground of her room. But the thing was Kagome was not listening to him her attention was solely on her blood red hands. She was staring at them fearfully. It was as if she was thrown back into her memories, reliving that horrid day. She didn't hear Alucard saying her name, and she didn't feel as she passed out falling back on her bed. Her dreams, no her nightmares, which would have been better described as memories, haunted her sleep. And she remembered her past, that horrid past.

A/N: Well I thought that it would be nice if I left yall on a cliffy! So what did yall think of this chapter? Review and tell me what yall think about it!! Also sorry for the long wait for this chapter, I just started working two weeks ago, and well I work on a farm and it is a really tiring job, so I haven't really been up to typing, that and I have a blister on my palm form shoveling that doesn't seem to want to go away. Any way, I don't think that I portrayed Anderson's character as well as I thought I could, I didn't have him speak too much, because I am not really into his character so well yeah.
