So What's 'Normal' Supposed to be Again?

Chapter Seven!

"Sir Integra?" Walter asked, stepping into Integra's office. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but there is someone here to see you,"

"Who is it?" Integra asked.

"A woman named Akito Kamiko, sir," Walter replied.

"Kamiko? Hm… send her in," Integra ordered. Walter nodded, and opened a door. A tall woman of a bout thirty-four walked in. She looked a lot like Nita, with long brown hair kept in a bun, wide blue eyes and a professional pantsuit.

"Greetings, Hellsing-san," Akito greeted Integra with a bow.

"Hello. You're Anita's relative, right?" Integra asked.

"Yes. Nita-chan is my little sister," Akito told Integra. "I heard she was here-"

"How?" Integra demanded sharply.

"I work in the Japanese government. Keeping track of Anita is my job. Anyway, I tried to find some information on you lot, and couldn't find much," Akito explained.

"With good reason! The Hellsing organization works directly under the orders of the Queen! No one is supposed to know we exist!" Integra informed Akito indignantly.

"No one's supposed to know about Nita-chan either," Akito pointed out.

"Hm... I guess you have a point," Integra nodded. "So what is the big secret about Anita?"

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret, would it?" Akito asked with a wicked smile. Integra rubbed her temples.

"Look Miss Kamiko, I don't have the time to deal with-"

"I'll cut you a deal. You tell me about this organization, and I'll tell you Nita-chan's big secret," Akito offered Integra. Integra frowned, thinking the offer over.

"I suppose. The Hellsing organization protects England from in-human threats, i.e. Vampires," Integra explained reluctantly.

"Ah. My explanation is longer," Akito warned.

"Just get on with it," Integra muttered.

"Impatient hmm? Well, no matter… this is an interesting story," Akito grinned. "It begins with my father, Akako, a wealthy and well-known business man. He wanted his second-borne to be an incredibly powerful son who served in the army. So one of his business partners, a scientist, offered to inject and experimental serum into Nita's embryo."

"When Nita was born, right off the bat Akako was unhappy, due to Nita's gender. But then, she was physically strong in spurts-usually only when she was scared or upset. Our neighbors started calling Nita 'The Demon Child' and rumors were floating around that Mother had an affair with a demon… many unpleasantries like that made things worse,"

"And then in kindergarten, Nita made a bully explode. Akako already beat Nita on a regular basis, but this time, Nita snapped and killed him. I then arranged for Nita to move to England. I joined the Japanese version of Hellsing, the Kyusuku organization, to make sure no one uses Nita as a weapon," Akito finished.

"Ah… so do you know what the serum injected into Anita was?" Integra asked.

"Vampire blood. At the time, Nita's body was still taking shape, and the vampire blood must have somehow altered her DNA. Don't ask me you, that's not my area of expertise," Akito added.

"Hmm…" Integra murmured. "That may explain why Alucard can stand her,"

"Nita's with Alucard? A vampire?" Akito demanded. "How do you know he won't eat her?"

"He won't," Integra assured.

"How do you know? Vampires can't be trusted," Akito told Integra.

"This one can," Integra replied.

"Alucard is psycho! We've heard stories about his conquests… and I've seen some Kyusuku agents that he has killed. It is NOT pretty… I don't want him anywhere NEAR my sister-"

"Anita is under my watch now, so that is none of your concern," Integra told Akito coolly.

"That can change," Akito replied, equally as frostily.

"Why are you so against Alucard being around Anita?" Integra asked.

"Because of the injection, Nita has some vampiric instincts, and human ones. Due to how she was brought up, these instincts are in constant conflict. Due to Nita's personality, who she is around breaks the tie between her human side and her vampire side," Akito spat at Integra. "Being around Alucard will turn her into a monster,"

"If she turns into a monster, I assure you, that she will be under our control," Integra told Akito.

"What's the point if her human side is gone though? Then my sister will have died, because of your pet vampire," Akito growled at Integra, stomping out of Integra's office.

"Where are you going?" Integra demanded.

"To find Nita… before it is too late," Akito replied angrily, slamming the door behind her.

Inuyoshie's after the chapter special!

That was a lot of exposition. Sorry if it bored you all… the next chapter will be more fun, I assure you. There's' one line from the next chapter that my beta loves to quote randomly: "Come on human, attack me!"

Yeah, that's Alucard saying that. To who? Why? What will Akito do? What will Integra do? Will Nita leave the Hellsing organization? Find out next chapter!
