A/N

T.K.: "hey there everybody. Just wanted you to know that I've got some writers block issues while I've been trying to write this story. So please don't judge me if this chapter sucks

And I want to formally apologize to my friend Rebecca M. Mesecher for all the shit that's gone down. I'm so sorry and I wish I could be the trustworthy person you wanted and I will try as hard as possible to make it up to you. As a child of Poseidon, I swear to make it up to you, as I walk this earth and swim in the sea. If it takes my last breathe to do so, I will. If you like Harry Potter (or more to the point HermBella slash fic) then I suggest that you check out Good Enough by Rebecca M. Mesecher

And to ani-cat-candy, thank you for the great review. I truly appreciate it.

And now for the disclaimer."

ALUCARD: "Please!"

Chapter 7: Let's Get Down to Business

As they finally got to the meeting room and got settled in their seats, Seras Victoria couldn't understand how this gentleman could be Master's brother. They were nothing alike. Radu was kind, gentle, and basically a good guy.

And Alucard was… well, he was Alucard. And she couldn't help but notice that Radu was far better looking than her master.

His mate, on the other hand, seemed to hate her. Every time she looked at her, she seemed to tense up. It didn't make any sense. But she brushed it off.

'Maybe she's scared of me.' She tried to hide the smile on her face as she thought about it

"I'm not scared of you, Seras. I just hate cops. By the way, you suck at blocking your thoughts." Jessica said, spitting venom with every word.

"Well, I'm not a cop anymore." She mumbled, slightly embarrassed.

"Police Girl, be quiet." Alucard spoke in a low tone.

"Yes, Master." She resigned

"Now, Can I ask what you're doing here, Radu?" Sir Integra asked.

"I'm here to inform my brother of the threat that we have to face. A threat known as Amara Blackburn*. She is a very powerful sorceress and necromancer, one that could raise an army of the dead. Last thing I heard was that her great great great great grandmother was searching for the Necronomicon. And it seems that she is very close to finding it." He replied

Her eyes widened. The Necronomicon is one of the oldest and most powerful Book of Shadows in all of existence. "If a necromancer were to get their hands on that book…"

"The world would be plunged into chaos." He said grimly.

"How do we stop her?" She replied

"We can't." he spoke as if the matter was final

"Like Hell, we can't! I'll send every soldier I have and destroy her!"

"Sir Integra, you misunderstand me. We can't even touch her until she finds the book. She can't be tracked, monitored, or harmed by unnatural forces until she finds it. It's the rules of The Quest. Trust me, I've tried to kill her past relatives and failed because they were protected by the rules of The Quest."

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Well, there is nothing we can do until she finds the book. So until then… we prepare for war. I advise you call another group or team to help out in this battle because your forces WILL NOT be enough. We need more than a handful of soldiers. If you know of any group that has large, well trained forces, you should advise them of this threat."

"Like the Iscariot?" Seras clamped her hand over her mouth.

"Who?" Radu inquired

"Vatican Special Section 13… the Iscariot Organization. A special operations force under the control of a man named Enrico Maxwell, who gets his orders directly from The Pope." She replied, shooting Seras a dirty look

"It sounds like there is some bad blood between your two groups."

"You could say that… or that they are psychotic, religious nut-jobs who have tried to kill us numerous times."She replied sarcastically

"Well, to tell you the truth, that sounds like exactly what we nee-."

BAM!

"Absolutely not! Master, you can't actually be consideri-"

"Sit down, Alucard."

"But Mast-" He was about to finish until he was interrupted by Integra, who spoke a true command.

"By the name of Hellsing, I command you to sit down and stay quiet until the end of this meeting!"

The seals on Alucard's hands began to glow a bright red and the smell of burning, undead flesh hung in the air as Alucard sat down with pain evident on his face.

"Now, back to the topic at hand. As much as it pains me to admit it, Alucard has a point. The Iscariot has caused nothing but trouble for our group."

"Well, we are going to need help, one way or another. If you know of other groups that have the manpower that we need, I suggest you get a hold of them soon because we are going to have a fight on our hands that will make your human's World Wars look like a nice game of paintball compared to the cluster-fuck we are in for."

Integra sighed an exasperated breath as she rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Do we have to make a decision tonight?" She spoke very tiredly.

"Of course not. After she finds the Book, she will have to train herself, which should take about three months. I would just like to be prepared for the day of battle. But I think that's enough talk of war for tonight. Now if you'll excuse us, Alucard and I have some business to attend to." He stated to Integra.

And turning to his brother, he spoke in almost a growl. "I hope you're ready for this, brother." With a smile rivaling Alucard's, Radu swept out of the room with Alucard hot on his trail. Suddenly, Alucard's head popped through the wall. "You guys will want to see this. Seras, tonight, you are going to see how REAL vampires fight. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed as he phased out of the room to catch up to his brother. Leaving behind the vampires, his master, and the old butler to look at the wall, slack-jawed.

Seras and Jessica looked at each other and in unison asked "Truce?", and shook hands before rushing for the door, leaving behind Integra and Walter stunned at their exit.

"Well, I guess we should see what's going on out there." Walter spoke in a sigh, turning to look at Integra… who was no longer there. Whipping around to see a trail platinum blonde hair and to hear her yell over her shoulder "last one there is a rotten ghoul!"

A/N Finally got this chapter over with. Gods be praised.

*this name comes from a site known as Seventh Sanctum. I had decided that the antagonist should be female because… well, you don't see many female "bad guys" and thought it might be a nice change of pace
