After her mini mental breakdown Millena retreated into the library for the next couple of days. Wary of her mood, Integra made sure to keep everyone but Walter out of there, including herself.

"Dammit! I need that book to fill out this paper!" Integra practically shrieked at her desk. She really needed to her work done-but she felt bad for Millena and wanted to give her some privacy.

"This is unlike you, master."

"Alucard."

Her faithful vampire servant floated up through the floor in a mass of shadows.

"You are never this angry over paperwork-nor do you normally act on your feelings of sympathy."

Integra sighed.

"Sighing is also unlike you."

Alucard had now suddenly materialized a chair in front of her desk and sat down.

"Talk to me."

Integra blinked, "Now that's unlike you."

The vampire gave an uncharacteristic smile, "Millena's appearance seems to be changing all of us...So...talk to me."

"..."

"It's about your father isn't it?"

"...Why would he name after an infant he killed? Millena said he'd killed it with his own hands so why?! I don't understand this! Any of this! Why won't anybody explain about what happened fifty-five years ago?! Why was my father so cruel to Millena?! Why-Why won't anybody just talk to me...?" Integra finished her rant by slumping defeated in her chair and lighting a cigar. "I just-I just need someone to tell me that my father wasn't as bad as everyone keeps saying he is..."

Suddenly she felt something against her cheeks and looked in shock at Alucard whose gloved hand was currently caressing her cheek. His red eyes were warm and gentle-things that seemed so alien on his face. "From what I've heard from Walter and the others...your father used to be a different man than the one you knew. He was a cruel, womanizing, alcoholic who was rash and arrogant. But, he seemed to have changed when you were born. Maybe the reason he named you Integral was because he regretted his actions-maybe not. The point is, Arthur is the person you want him to be: his past self or the one you called your father..."

"...Thank you, Alucard...I needed to hear that..."

"It is my duty to make you happy, my master."


"Millena? Millena, please come down from there? You're going to knock down all the books and I don't want to clean it up again!"

Walter was standing angrily at the bottom of a rather tall bookcase and Millena was perched at the top with a book.

"Don't wanna...reading about shellfish..."

"Shellfish? Why the hell do we have a book about shellfish? Never mind that! Get down before you make another mess!"


"I'm hungry! Go get me another blood packet! Pip! I said go! Now!"

"No!"

"Pip...I'm withholding sex from you until you go..."

"...you want me to warm it in the microwave or do you want it on ice?"

"Microwave. Oh-and make me a sammich while you're at it."

"The fuck is a sammich? Wait! You can't even eat whatever the hell a sammich is! You're a fucking vampire!"

"I know, but I want to see how far I can push you until you're head explodes."


Just a short thing while school eats my life...fuk
