Hello there, readers/minions. (Just joking about the minions part) Chapter 5 is up, and I have some...icky news. Since there is no way for me to get online at home, I literally cannot get online AT ALL more than two, maybe three times a month. To do so, I have to go to the neighboring town, and because of money issues...yeah, that's not too often. Don't worry; I'll keep on updating! It'll just be sporadic. At the very least, you won't see me leave FanficNet anytime soon, but you'll have to wait a while for updates...again. I might even try updating my fanfics every time I can get online, so please bear with me on this.

Now on to the thank-yous! For Story Alerts I thank KYVampire and . I'd also like to thank KYVampire for his Author Alert, as well. Same thing with the Review he gave me; Big thank you! ^^

As usual, I don't own Hellsing. It belongs to Kouta-sensei.

Millennium

Nathan stared at her in disbelief. Her father, a Major in the United States Air Force, was an informant for the Hellsing Organization.

"No, she's not joking." Seras said seriously, reading their incredulous expressions. "I've worked win Ardon Firestorm before, and he's at least partly insane."

"That's comforting," Lin muttered. "At least now we've got fair warning." Kaminala whacked him upside the head.

"I usually ended up finding things out that I shouldn't have known." Kaminala clarified. "I'm just wondering why you're so interested in Hellsing, Nate."

Nathan hesitated. He couldn't really tell them that he was supposed to be the head of Hellsing, but he couldn't figure out any other way to get out of it.

"I…uh…well…" he began. Kaminala was giving him an odd look. "My last name is false. My actual name is Nathan Hellsing, not Harrison."

"Well, that helps." Kaminala said. "Lin, what's up?"

"I was just wondering how long it'd take you to figure it out." Lin replied. "I managed to worm it out of Nate a few months ago. Turns out, good ol' Nate here will tell you anything after he's had enough caffeine pumped into his system."

"Shut up," Nathan grumbled. Kaminala whacked Lin again.

"Back on topic." Seras replied. "Tresson and I managed to find out something pertaining to Millenium a few weeks ago—"

"Wait a sec!" Nate interrupted. "Anthony's in on this?"

"Of course." Seras replied. "Tresson has been one of Hellsing's top assassins for years. I thought Sir Darian, your father, had told you that."

"Well, he didn't" Nathan replied. "Just like he didn't tell me that the Organization employed a vampire!"

"Looks like you're going to be finding out on the job, then." Seras said. "As I was saying, Tresson and myself have found out that there's a Millennium spy in the upper echelon of the Hellsing Organization. We don't know if Charles knows about this or not, but we're not about to tell him."

"Who's he?" Lin asked, but Nathan answered.

"He's the guy in charge of Hellsing until I turn eighteen." He said. "Antonio Charles is the steward of the Organization."

"Exactly, and he'll do anything to stay in control." Seras said. "That's why we aren't going to tell him about the Millennium spy. There's a good chance he'll use the infiltration to his own advantage."

"Or just not believe you." Kaminala said. "Or even, if he is using the spies to his advantage, he'll deny it altogether. It he's willing to do anything to stay in control…"

"He may even try to kill Nate." Lin said in realization. "Or he could even be a spy himself."

"Which is why Tresson and myself are investigating this on our own." Seras said. "There's another reason I contacted Nathan."

"What is it?" Nate asked.

"We want to get Armando Charles out of power." Seras said. "In order to do that, we've got to prove that you're able to be in charge now. If we can't, Charles will stay in power no matter what we do."

The holographic screen flicked on. A heavyset face with a blonde goatee was the first thing the spy saw. "Haff you contacted Herr Hellsing yet?" the Colonel asked.

"Yes, My Füher." The spy replied. "He is…"

"He ist vat?" The Colonel prompted. He was not one for dilly-dallying.

"He is…unexpected." The spy said. "He was scared out of his skin when he first met Seras." He sighed. "I tried to tell her it was a bad idea…"

"Scared out of his skin?" the Colonel asked. "The heir to Hellsing family vas scared out of his skin by a vampire girl?"

"Apparently," the spy replied. "Do want me to eliminate him?"

The Colonel was silent for a minute. "Nein," he said. "Vait. Let uns see if ve kann bring him to our side first."

"I will, Füher," the spy replied. "I will let him be. For now."

The Colonel nodded and the connection was cut. The spy left the room, the holographic wall shimmering as he walked through it. To anyone else, it looked like the far wall in his living area. After all, what better way to hide something than right out in the open?

Kaminala was doing some research on her computer when her cell phone rang. "Heya." She said, answering it with the headset.

"Konichiwa, Kaminala-san!" A teenager said from the other end. "I heard your dad got transferred to England. How's it going there?"

"Hi, Taguchi. It's pretty good. Did you get the e-mail I sent you?" Kaminala replied. "You can stop with the 'san' though. I told you that when my dad was stationed in Japan…"

"Force of habit." Taguchi replied. "I got the e-mail, but that's not why I'm calling."

"Then spill it." Kaminala said. "Why are you calling me at," she looked at her clock, "one in the morning?"

"I'm 890 meters in the air right now." Taguchi replied. "I've signed up for a study abroad program in the UK, and it looks like we're going to the same school."

"Great," Kaminala replied. "Just what I needed—an over-smart Japanese guy flirting with me."

"Hey! I never flirted with you!" Taguchi replied hotly. "Well, that and the info you sent me was also part of the reason. Did you tell this guy that you were going to tell me?"

"Yes." Kaminala replied. "That's why the e-mail was coded."

"Well, it was a pain in the ass to crack." Taguchi said. "You were right. These guys are the same Millennium that attacked the Tokyo Tower ten years ago."

"Did you find out why they attacked?" Kaminala asked.

"No, that stuff's uber classified." Taguchi replied. "All I know is that it was led by a werewolf huntress."

"Well, considering how people were panicking, I can understand why the media would come up with a load of crack for an explanation." Kaminala said. "But why is Millennium using werewolves when their main goal is to build an immortal army?"

Taguchi was silent for a few minutes. "You tell me, Kaminala." He said. "You're the werewolf here, not me."
