Chapter 6: Tests

Morning. Seras was having a hard time getting up. She had tried to rest during the night to conserve energy, but to no avail, she just couldn't sleep. Why? She couldn't stop thinking about their sentimental episode with her master.

Police girl, time to get up. We'll be starting soon. She hears her master's voice as he sends her a mental message.

"Grrr..." she groaned. "Just give me ten more minutes..." she slowly fell asleep.

She then felt her surroundings change. She wasn't lying on her soft satin sheets anymore, instead she felt like she was being cradled in mid-air. She felt hot too. She also heard chirping and rustling and whispers from the wind. She slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to find herself outside, in the training fields. The sun was up and bright, and it annoyed her a bit but she just shrugged it off. She then realizes why she felt like being cradled. She looked up and saw her master, carrying her, bridal style. She freaked out even more when she realized that she was still wearing her short white night dress. Alucard smirked at the sight of his fledgling and let her down gently.

"M..m..master!! W...what's the meaning of this?!" She exploded, blushing beet red.

"Well, it's your wake up call." Alucard chuckled.

Seras let out a groan as she engulfed herself with her shadows and appeared with her uniform now on. But this uniform was different. She wore a sleeveless white dress shirt that was pinned all the way up to her neck. Around her neck was a red scarf tied into a neat ribbon at the centre. At the heart of a ribbon was a silver cross pin. Her shirt went all the way down to her hips. She wore a pleated red short skirt and black stockings that went all the way up her mid-thigh. Her shoes were black pumps with 3 inch heels. She wore white gloves with seals on them.

After observing her outfit, Alucard turned to her face and saw that her hair was neatly tied into a long ponytail behind her head. Seras wasn't in a good mood. She lacked sleep, had a crazy wakeup call and was getting more and more frustrated.

"Well, Master? What's up first?" She asked out of her impatience.

"Hm. Well, first, I need to see how well you've developed your third eye. So, I've hidden some suspicious items around the area and you have to locate them without moving a muscle and tell me what they are and their location. I hid 3 things. I'll be timing you." Alucard instructed Seras.

"Okay. And after this test?" she asked.

"I'll tell you afterwards." Alucard said. "Ready? Begin."

Seras began and closed her eyes, concentrating. Five seconds passed and she was quick to find one. She raised her eye brow at the first 'suspicious' item.

"First item, anti-aircraft gun, the Artemis 30. Location, 6 feet beneath Troop Bunker # 7." She stated casually.

Alucard was amazed, 7 seconds then passed and Seras found another suspicious item.

"Second item, melee weapon, the Rapier sword. Location, the chimney above Sir Integra's fireplace in her room."

That was quick and she even got the names perfectly. One more to go, Seras. I hid it somewhere you'd never find. It'll take you–

His thought was cut off when Seras found the last weapon. It's only been well off four seconds since she found the 2nd one.

"Last item, war fan, the Tessen. Location, in the garden with Sir Integra. She's using it as a normal fan to cool herself off." With that Seras opened her eyes and revealed an ocean blue orb and a bright red one.

Alucard was surprised to see Seras' eyes. Different colors. Her right was still her normal ocean blue ones, but the left was of bright ruby red.

"Police girl, y-your eyes…?" Alucard stammered.

"Yeah, I know. It's a great way to conserve energy actually. Using only one eye rather than both. If I had used both my eyes, I would've found the weapons in no time. But, I'd rather conserve my energy for the next test. I am still tired." Seras stated.

"Impressive, my fledgling. You really have improved since then."

"Well, duh! It's been thirty years, a lot can happen. What's next?" she asked.

"Your long range and targeting skills." He said in a chilling manner.

"And my weapon?" Seras asked.

"You may choose." Alucard answered.

"Fine." Seras' arms were then engulfed in shadows, and when they disappeared, she had now in her hands the Archangel and the Athena.

"Are you sure, Police girl? This is long range; wouldn't you want to use your Harkonnen?" Alucard asked.

"Nope. My babies are up for this. Besides, the Harkonnens are treasures. I don't wanna use them in battle again… yet." Seras said as she held up her guns. "So, shall we begin?"

"Fine. I scattered target dummies around the area. There are ghouls and civilian dummies. Hit the ghouls and spare the petty mortals. Are we clear?" He instructed.

"Crystal." Seras then started spinning on one leg like a ballerina shooting in place. It seemed like she was just randomly shooting around the field, which made Alucard think she might just be winging this because she was tired. But, as he used his third eye to see the results, his jaw dropped. She got all the ghoul dummies, hitting their heads, hearts and for the male ghoul dummies their 'special' places. Not a scratch or nick off the civilian dummies. Not even a stray bullet. All her shots hit their respective targets perfectly. The farthest targets were well off 5 kilometers away, still she got them effortlessly.

Seras stopped her shooting. She twirled one more time and stopped on two feet, gracefully. Her hair swayed with her movement and fell perfectly in place. She let her hands down to her side and looked at her dazed master.

"Well? How was that?" She asked him confidently.

"Uh..un…uh… it was…." He stuttered, still amazed.

"Impressive? Awesome? Unbelievable? Destructive?" Seras tries to finish his sentence.

"Beautiful…" He finally let it out.

"W..what? Beautiful? How is it beautiful?" she asked with a sweat drop.

"Beautiful and deadly. You are the perfect combination of beauty and death. It's great to know you've finally grown into a fine nosferatu, Police girl." He said.

"Yeah, well.. Thanks, Master." She thanked him, a small blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Come. Your next test awaits you." He holds out his hand to her.

"Um.. okay. But I do have a question." Seras said.

"What is it?" Alucard asked.

"Does Sir Integra even know that she's holding a bladed fan?" Seras asked.

There was a long pause.

"No." He answered.

Before another word could be said, a loud scream was heard. It was Integra. In a flash, Seras disappeared leaving only a black mist from where she stood.

She's fast. Alucard thought to himself as he opens up a portal to where the commotion was.

When he got there, he saw Seras hovering over Integra trying to calm her down. He went around her to see what had happened. It seems that Integra had accidentally cut her hair with the fan. Now the whole right side of her long platinum blond hair was now above shoulder length. Alucard couldn't contain himself and started laughing. Integra and Seras' eyes shot at him and they glared at the ancient vampire.

"You.. you… you bloody idiot!!!" Integra exploded. "Look at what you did!!!" She held up her balled up fist holding strands of her hair.

"Master, how could you do this to Sir Integra!?" Seras exploded as well.

"I didn't. She did it to herself. If she hadn't put the fan too close to her hair-", He was cut off by Integra.

"Who's bloody idea was it to switch my fan into a bloody bladed one then?!?!?!" Integra exploded again.

"Now, now Sir Integra, watch your blood pressure." Seras rubbed Integra's shoulders to calm her down. "Look, we'll go to a salon in town and have your hair done, ok?"

Integra let out a big sigh. "Okay, Seras. What's done is done anyway. I just hope nothing like this happens ever again. Are we clear, servant?!" She eyes Alucard.

"As crystal." He then let out a chuckle and disappeared.

"Hopeless…" the two women said in sync.

***Afternoon***

Seras and Integra had just gotten back from their trip to the salon. Integra had now a Victoria Beckham hairdo but she looked rather manlier than the intended sexy effect of the style. But, Integra never did give a care with appearances.

"I look ridiculous." Integra said moping towards her office with Seras.

"Oh, nonsense! You look great!" Seras tries to cheer the upset knight.

Wallace happened to walk through the hall and spotted the two women. He was about to greet them a welcome home but he stopped out of surprise seeing Integra's new 'look'.

"Uh… un… eh… uh…. Nice… hair…. M-my Lady…" Wallace stuttered, sweat drops appering on his head.

"Wallace-kun, just keep your comments to yourself…" Seras said to her nephew with a sweat drop.

"It's okay Seras. I don't care. I just want to get to my desk and finish my paperwork." Integra then turns to Wallace and says, "Wallace, get me my aspirin jar and a bottle of scotch."

"A… ha-hai, I-Intgra-sama..." They leave Wallace still flabbergasted.

***Integra's Office***

Integra was finishing up her paperwork and Seras sat on the chair across Integra's desk. Suddenly, Vincent pops up behind Seras.

"Hey there, sexy. Whatcha doin'? He said in a seductive voice.

"Sir Integra." Seras said with a sigh.

"Sir Integra? Why? What's wro- Woah!" Vincent jumped at the sight of the knight's new 'look'. "What happened?" He asks.

"Alucard happened. Crazy, no good, egotistic bastard." Integra continued mumbling as she ran through her paperwork.

"I-I see…" Vincent said with a sweat drop.

Wallace then enters with a silver tray at hand with Integra's aspirin jar, a bottle of scotch and a shot glass.

Integra lets out a big sigh. "Okay. Since we're all here, I have news." Everyone turns to Integra as she massages the bridge of her nose.

"My son, Cedric, will be coming home in 2 days for the Semesteral break. I expect everyone to be in their best behavior. And I mean everyone, including the idiot vampire. And it's your job to lecture him about this, Seras." Integra takes a sip from her hot cup of tea.

"I knew it. But, why is Cedric spending his break here? He usually stays with his father or go out with his friends." Seras asks.

"Well, Cedric and his father, Derek, had a little spat. So, instead of the usual Semesteral breaks with his father, he wants to spend it here. And he misses goofing off with you three." Integra answered.

"Well, we always spend summer breaks together with him. I guess this is a change." Vincent said.

"Yes. And he hasn't met Alucard yet. I guess it will be good for him to finally meet the family pet." Integra stated. "So, Wallace ready Cedric's room. Vincent you'll be coming with me tomorrow to get my son some homecoming presents and Seras; you know what to do."

"Yes, Sir Integra." The 3 said in sync.

***Later that evening – Seras' room***

Vincent is sitting on Seras' loveseat as Seras lies down beside him; her head rests on his legs.

Seras sighs. "Oh, Vincent, what am I going to do with my Master? I'm scared that he'll torture Cedric. I don't want Cedric to get hurt. I raised that kid. He's like a son to me too." She curves into a ball.

"Well, I raised Cedric too. So, I feel the same way. But, you mustn't forget, Cedric is a Hellsing too. He can do whatever to Master Alucard." Vincent tries to cheer her up, stroking her hair.

"I guess so." She shifts her weight and looks up at Cedric. "Thank you, love."

"I'll always be here for you." He leans in and kisses her passionately.

Their lips stay locked as they slowly fall into complete blissfulness. Their kiss then was interrupted by the sound of a person clearing their throat. They both sit up and look behind them to find Alucard standing, looking at them.

"May I have a word with my fledgling?" Alucard keeps his tone straightforward and demanding.

"Oh. Yes, Master Alucard." Vincent quickly stands up and plants a small kiss on Seras' lips. "I'll see you later, Seras." He bids Seras a goodbye and turns back to Alucard and bows. "Goodnight, Master Alucard." He then disappears, leaving just a black mist to where he just stood.

Why do they keep trying to make a dramatic exit? Alucard thought. He then turns to Seras who was now standing in front of him, blushing.

"You wanted to talk, Master?" Seras asks.

Alucard had to hold in his rage and jealousy after seeing Vincent and Seras' scene.

"Yes. I overheard your conversation upstairs. Since when did Integra decide to settle down and have a family?" He asked her.

"Well, technically, Sir Integra and Sir Derek are divorced. They've known each other for a long time since they're both Knights of the Round Table." Seras answered.

"And? How did this happen?" he continued interrogating her.

"Well, 20 years ago, Sir Derek developed a liking to Sir Integra and he courted her for months. After 8 months they decided to tie the knot. And 6 months later, along came Cedric."

"Wait. 6 months? How? Are you trying to say…?"

"They decided to get married because Sir Integra got impregnated by Sir Derek. And so, to avoid controversy, they decided to get married. After 3 long years of being 'bound to hell' as what Sir Integra would call it, they got a divorce." Seras finished.

"And this Cedric is the heir to the Hellsing Organization?" He asks.

"Well, yeah. And the heir to the Holy Grail Organization of Sir Derek as well." She continues.

"And he's arriving in 2 days?"

"Yup! He's a really great kid, Master. Sir Integra, Vincent and I raised him together with Wallace-kun. He's actually the same age as Wallace-kun." Seras said with an excited smile.

"Hmph. Another annoying heir." Alucard said, annoyed.

"Hey, Master, don't say that." She pouted, "Cedric's like a son to me. And that's another thing, Sir Integra requires us all to be at our best behavior."

"Including me?"

"Especially you!" She said in a high pitched tone.

"I'll try." Alucard smirked.

"Good. Is there anything else you need?" She asks as she stretches her arms, letting out a soft yawn. She was clearly tired.

He didn't say a word. But when she turned around, what she got was something completely unexpected.

***END***

Thrilling, ay?

Well, if you wanna know the conclusion, you gotta review :D
