Don Orbit: Hi. Don Orbit here for the next chapter of Nosferatu of Extinction...
Deadpool: (claps loudly to interrupt) Oh come on. Stop pulling off the Billy Mays meme.
Don Orbit: Alright, next time you do the intro. It just has been such a long time I wanted to start with something to lighten the mood of most readers. AND I FINALLY MANAGED TO FINISH A NEW CHAPTER! YES! (looks around) Where is Alucard?
Deadpool: (shrugs) For all I care he can drive to hell and bring some chimichangas along. I'm starving.
Don Orbit: Then get out my room and buy yourself something already. You do have a lot of cash on your bank account given the number of people you usually kill and the payment for each, right?
Deadpool: (whine) I don't wanna.
Don Orbit: Then go and do something to forget about your hunger.
Deadpool: Like you did when a bunch of people seems to forget that you said that Asuramaru is a girl in this fanfiction only because you first didn't notice it?
Don Orbit: (deadpans at Deadpool) I have apologized for that and they just keep reminding me about a fact that I'm aware of for more than 2 years. Also you of all people don't mind such an AU fanfiction right?
TFS Alucard: (shoots the door's lock and kicks the door into Deadpool's face) I'm back.
Don Orbit: (groans) Let's just get this story rolling already. For those who have forgotten it, I don't own Hellsing nor Seraph of the End. Or any mentioned franchises to begin with. All rights belong to their respective owners.
Deadpool: (crawls out from beneath the door) Get to the story already! (grabs a remote and presses the play button)
Chapter 7: A Question of Trust
After calming down from her hearty laugh Seras sat up on the bed that Yuichiro was laying in. Said black haired teenager was looking rather annoyed at the draculina, who had laughed for 5 minute straight. And on top of that his friends had joined her side by either laughing, giggling or chuckling. He could feel his face being hot from the intensive blush on his cheeks. After that Seras and Shinoa told him what had happened as he was in a coma-like condition.
And it was quite easy to tell that Yu didn't like one bit of this deal. Heck, it meant that a VAMPIRE of all things was allowed in the JIDA's headquarters and to do as she pleased as long as she didn't betray them and vice versa. Even someone as dense as Yuu knew that it was a bad idea, but it was more his distaste of vampires that made him reject the sheer idea of working with this woman together.
'What is Guren thinking?' He mentally shouted at himself as he suddenly found himself pulled into a hug by said vampire, who had an arm around his neck.
"So I guess we are partners from now on, right?" Seras said as she pulled Yuichiro into a noogie.
"H-Hey stop!?" Yu tried to break free but it was hopeless. Against the physical power of the draculina, even he, the fearless fighter of the Shinoa Squad, was utterly powerless. Seras only tightened her grip on him at this.
"Ha-ha. Don't be like that. We are supposed to work together for the next few weeks." Seras said, before releasing Yuu from the noogie after a minute or so.
"Are you trying to suffocate me?" Yuichiro shouted, while Seras and the others only laughed. "Stop laughing! It's not funny?!" As Yuu's voice grew in volume, his face burned in a bright pink color.
"Okay Yu. Then let's be a bit more serious." Seras said as she extended a hand for a handshake to Yuu. "I hope we get along really quick." Seras said with a smile. Yu looked at her for a moment before looking away with his arms crossed.
"No thanks. I'd rather work with my squad than some damn bloodsucker." He said. Seras looked a bit disappointed at the boy's behavior, but let it slide. She knew that he had been through a lot thanks to Asura. The distant relative had been talking about Yuichiro like a waterfall and it seemed that she had found the one or the other secret about the boy buried in his memories.
"Yu-san." Shinoa said putting her hands on her hips, scowling the boy. "Seras was designated to our squad as a temporary member and went with us on a mission just a few hours ago. I think you can trust her after all we are still together in one piece." Yuichiro gave the lavender-haired girl a look like she had just grown a second head, but before Seras opened her mouth.
"Though I appreciate the support Shinoa, I can speak for myself. And the fact that you are all alive and kicking is a rather weak argument. What if I just did that to win your trust?" She said with a grin, showing her fangs to the teens as a collective shudder running down the teens' spines.
"D-Did you?" Yoichi asked timidly. The draculina's grin grew wider at this as she decided to mess even more with them.
"Maybe~"
"I KNEW IT YOU- HGNH!" Yuichiro shouted as he wanted to throw his blanket off his body and get his hands on Seras, but was intercepted by a cold hand shoving itself into his face and holding him back as the raven-haired teen could only flay his arms around as he tried to understand what was happening. Seras laughed wholeheartedly at the futile attempts of the teen to hit her as her hand had taken the boy's sight a bit suddenly, before she pulled her hand away and stood up.
"I'm kidding of course. I wouldn't make the whole long trip from the UK to Tokyo if I wanted to kill you and help those guys." She shook her head at this while Yu looked still irritated at her. Her carefree and youthful behavior reminded him of a certain vampire that killed his family. "Well you better get to bed. Humans still need to sleep and I can't work with you when you are all tired and sleepy. Who knows? The guys up there might send you to fight a few stronger vampires since you have me around now." Seras said. Yu looked up at that, but Seras had already turned to the door to leave. "You have a lot of work to do Yuichiro. You were unconscious for a whole week. Maybe you got a bit rusty with that sword of yours." She snickered before leaving. "Night you guys!" Could be heard from here as she walked away.
"Hey! Wait! I'll show you who's rusty!" Yu said as he looked around for Asuramaru, but found his cursed gear nowhere. "Where's my sword?" he said a bit irritated.
"In the armory of course. Did you think we let you sleep with it under your pillow for an entire week?" Shinoa asked. Yuichiro said nothing at this almost as if he was actually thinking that the JIDA would work like that. "Oh well, I got to stand up early tomorrow. Night you guys." She said waving at her squad before leaving as well. One by one the others left as well, with Mitsuba being the last one. Yuichiro was alone in his room at this, before he stood up and walked to the window. He looked up to the full moon as he pressed his forehead against the glass.
'No matter what. I'll save you Mika.' He thought, before departing for sleep as well.
At the next day
Seras was walking around the JIDA HQ early in the morning as she finally found her destination. She had stayed the night in a room prepared for her, though it meant that she couldn't sleep at all. It was quite troublesome. Perhaps she would need to bring her coffin here for some good night rest. Seras shook her head at this absurd idea as she simply teleported away when no one was looking and no cameras were there as it was a bit of her little secret that she met with Asura. Speaking of the bluenette, the blonde police girl felt kind of bad for forgetting her so she came back with a large blood bag, that she had 'borrowed' from the infirmary.
"Asura? Are you here somewhere?" Seras said quietly as no one of the JIDA was allowed to know about her 'relative's' existence. Seras viewed Asura more like a little sister despite the petite vampire being the older one. It was a bit funny for her. She always loved to play with children, but she never had siblings or saw anyone like that. Integra had been a mother figure, while Alucard and Walter (until his betrayal and death of course) were a bit like fathers, though Alucard could be more described as an evil uncle. Asura as a teenage girl was quite a new experience for her. She was so easily teased by the blonde vampire, making it only more enjoyable for Seras to 'torment' her with prying into her personal space.
Suddenly Seras heard a shifting noise as Asura laid on a desk, slightly twitching, her hair was a complete mess and her face pressed against the desk's plate. The only thing missing in this scene would be a swarm of flies, buzzing around Asura. Seras immediately panicked. When vampires were really in such a weak state, something was really wrong.
'Oh no! What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?' She thought as she lifted Asura up, put a straw in the blood bag and in her mouth. Putting a small amount of blood in her mouth she grabbed Asura's face by both cheeks and did the only thing Seras could come up with in that moment. In reality Asura was not just hungry, she was tired and wanted to sleep, but the part of her blood that was from Alucard rejected her desire without a compromise as she had no coffin with soil from the place she was born. And thanks to air traffic being down for 8 years now, it could take quite some time before she would get some. Not to mention a coffin fitting her size.
"What is-MPFH!" She said groggily until Seras put her mouth on hers to feed her. Almost gagging at this she pulled away from Seras with a furious blush on her face. "SERAS! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?!" She shouted.
"Whoops. I almost thought you were a goner." Seras said, a slight rosy blush forming on her face as well, but she still smiled sheepishly at Asuramaru.
"SERAS!" Asura yelled as she tried to pounce the taller woman. It failed due the lack of strength, resulting in her landing face down on the floor and kept laying there for a moment, before groaning.
5 minutes later
Asura finished up her 'bloody juice box' as she had a large bump on her head and looked annoyed at Seras, who either didn't mind or simply didn't react to her angry stare. Crushing the plastic bag beneath her fingers, she sat up again.
"So you met my contractor, huh?" She said.
"Yup. A bit annoying, but he has his heart at the right spot. Though he rejected me downright." Seras said shrugging like she didn't care.
"Yeah, he is a dolt when it comes to such an idea. But honestly I don't blame him for that. Among the people around here he probably has the most reason to hate our...my kind." Asura said, crossing her arms. Seras rose an eyebrow at this. "By the way, why are you here? Shouldn't the JIDA have taken your blood or something else to experiment on you?" She asked.
"Actually I'm here to bring you to Yuichiro." Seras said, earning a shocked look by the older Tepes sister.
"Y-You're not serious." She said. Seras then realized how that sounded.
"No you are supposed to stay in your weapon form for a while so the others don't notice your current state." Seras said, holding up Asura's sheath. Asura sighed at this.
"Really now? (Sigh) Fine then." With a flash of blue light Asura was back in her katana form. Seras grabbed the sword before it could fall to the ground and sheathed the sword. "Do you have any idea how long I need to stay like this?" Asura asked in her mind.
"Nope." Seras quickly answered with a smile. She could hear Asura groaning in annoyance. "Oh come on. You are a big girl aren't you? You have stayed longer as a sword as you probably have been a vampire given how weak you are. Then again you were in the mid-teens when you were turned right?" Seras said as she teleported out the storage room to the infirmary close to Yuu's room.
"That was only because I couldn't regain my human form until now... AND WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY WEAK?! IF I WAS AT MY FULL STRENGTH AND PRACTICE A BIT MORE TO GET BACK IN TOP FORM I COULD EASILY TAKE YOU! AND STOP DRAWING ANY CONCLUSIONS ABOUT MY AGE!" Asura shouted in rage. Seras only chuckled at this, making the older vampire fuming in silent anger. 'Stupid, big-chested cow...' Asura thought while looking up to Seras. The draculina didn't notice that and simply made her way to Yu's rom, before she knocked at the door of Yu's room.
"One moment." Came the reply of the boy on the other side, before the door was opened.
'Yu surely isn't a morning person.' Seras noted as she saw the boy with messy black hair looking with narrowed eyes at her. "Morning." Seras said in a friendly tone despite the cold gaze she received.
"What do you want here?" Yuichiro replied coldly at this.
'Is your contractor always such a pain?' Seras asked Asura.
'Only to vampires.' The bluenette replied. Seras then got the katana and held it towards the boy, who instinctively backed away.
"I'm just here to give you your cursed gear back." Seras said. Yuu still looked like he wasn't buying it at all, making the blonde sigh once more. "Are we seriously still at this? Look boy, I'm not with the vampires who did this. I've hunted them down for the last 8 years with every fiber of my being and before I have spent 30 years of killing supernatural creatures like those for a living. So could you please stop being so complicated?" Seras asked as she put Asura against the wall next to the door of Yuichiro's room. The boy didn't reply and simply looked at her as if she was going to pounce on him and drink his blood. "Fine then. See you around." Was all Seras said as she left. 'Such a complicated kid. At least he could have said thanks.' She thought to herself.
Yuichiro kept looking at her leaving until she was around the corner. He then inspected his cursed gear for any flaws. When he found nothing out of place. he put on his clothes and got ready for the coming day.
Sometime later
Walking aimlessly through the facilities of the JIDA for most of the day it was an understatement to say that Seras was bored. She wasn't called by anyone to do some mission which Seras could hardly understand, but then again humans needed periods of time to rest and prepare. Given all the ruckus a week ago, some people probably still needed their injuries treated. Other than that life seemed to be rather normal behind the JIDA's walls. It reminded her of the time before Christmas 2029. Apparently the maya were just a few years to early with their calendar.
(In the canon it is actually Christmas of 2012 when the events of Seraph of the End begin with the almost complete extincttion of humanity.)
Still it also brought back all the painful memories of those, that had lost their lives on that day, and the chaos of the following ones. But it also raised questions like how they had managed to keep all these structures intact for so long. After the vampires took over most adults died and only few teenagers had already some knowledge how to repair certain machines in the UK. Something wasn't right here and Seras knew what it was. It was simply too perfect to have been affected by that virus. Seras was aware of that and so was her master. That probably meant that Asura knew something that she wasn't telling them yet.
Seras could barely occupy herself with anything than sightseeing and unfortunately there were places she wasn't allowed to be in. Even more frustrating was the distrust that the people brought against her. Just in this morning she was once more confronted with it.
Flashback
Warm droplets of water ran down Seras' body as she showered. She really had missed this feeling. It was a shame that they couldn't reestablish that back in the UK yet, but that was fine. Still with nothing to do it was a bit boring for her so she had decided to clean herself up a bit without wasting too much water. Her body didn't produce any wastes so the only thing she or Alucard could be using water for was to clean themselves as their clothes were more or less created by their powers as well after the image of what they knew.
She heard the door open as Aoi and Sayuri entered the bathroom. She kept the water running, but the two seemed to ignore her as they talked with one another.
"But is that really a good idea?" Seras could hear Sayuri's timid voice perfectly over the sounds of the showers. Her sense of Hearing was after all far superior to that of most living organisms. "I can understand why Guren does this, but it's kind of scary isn't it?" Sayuri said.
'Why do I get the feeling that they are talking about you?' Pip said inside Seras' mind.
'Because they most likely are?'
"It cannot be helped now. This vampire could prove to be a valuable asset against the ones here." Aoi said in a stern voice. "For now we will tolerate her being here. However if she should do anything suspicious we will immediately kill her on sight." Aoi's words hit Seras a bit hard, but nothing she couldn't recover.
"But didn't you see what she did on the battlefield? Do you really think we can take on her like that?" Sayuri's voice was worried. No she was horrified. Thinking about the fact that Seras so easily defeated Yuu when he lost control was terrifying, but fighting said enigma that was Seras Victoria was something she would have nightmares about. Aoi remained silent at this for a moment, before replying.
"We'll have to. No matter what this thing is fighting for or why it came here it remains a vampire. No matter how strong, how fast or how smart it might be. It is the JIDA's purpose to bring humanity back into a stable and safe situation. When it would become common knowledge that we let a vampire out of all things, the very enemies we fight day by day, roam through our territory... it would lead to panic among the people and shatter the trust the people have in the JIDA." Aoi said.
Seras' eye widened a little at her words. Of course Aoi was right. This wasn't like the UK where Alucard and she had been the only ones actually fighting the vampires. Here humans fought for the sake of their own kind through their own power and the research they had done on those demonic weapons like Asuramaru. However, Seras never lied to anyone when it came to her motives why she kept going on. Integra might have died, but through Seras and her master, Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing's will lived on. Her order was a finish line that Seras sought like Alucard, knowing that they may never see it or only after they had already missed it a Long time ago.
However, Seras will to help the people around her and protect them was adamant. She was no police officer anymore, but she was herself. A woman that still believed in her actions no matter what other people say. Even if they hated her, attempted to kill her or whatever they would think about doing to break her, she was not going to cave in. She turned off the water as the handle gave a slight screeching noise from itself, loud enough to pierce through the entire bath.
"What was that?" Sayuri asked as she looked at the direction where the sound came from. Both women stepped out their cabins as Seras walked out of hers with a sheepish smile on her face.
"Ah sorry about that. I was already in here and didn't want to interrupt you guys." She said chuckling nervously. While Aoi sent the draculina a cold gaze for hearing the conversation about her with Sayuri, said Hazel-haired girl panicked.
"SHE'S HERE?!" Aoi and Seras looked a bit confused at her at this as suddenly the door was slammed open from outside.
"OI! WHAT'S GOING ON?" Guren yelled as Norito was right next to him. Both had their cursed gear already out, however the moment they realized what was going on their expressions changed from seriousness to confusion. Just as their brains tried to piece together what they were seeing a pair of shadow tendrils hit both of them with such force against the foreheads that both were knocked backwards, sailing through the air for a moment, before landing roughly on the ground outside. A tendril grabbed the handle of the door and slammed the door loudly shut.
Aoi and Sayuri looked shocked at what happened as they followed the shadows to their owner. Seras had elongated her arm across the wall as it had then separated from it once more to hit the two men. The draculina withdrew her arm from the wall, returning it to its demonic shadow like form.
"Those two really can't read the sign in front of the door." Seras muttered as she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her frame.
A short moment later she stepped out the room without saying anything, but giving Sayuri and especially Aoi a look like saying "Mess with me and I'll eat your soul." Once outside she changed into her clothes and looked at Norito and Guren who had picked themselves up by now. The two men were feeling a shiver running down their spines as Seras walked towards them. It wasn't the overwhelming aura Seras was emitting, that made even Guren's hair at the back of the neck stand up. It was the sweet, innocent smile she bore to them, which was completely not suiting this situation. Unless you promised someone pain.
Flashback ends
It wasn't like Norito and Guren didn't have it coming. While Guren had only received the sore forehead from the slap, Norito (as the pervert he was) had gotten the rougher treatment, leaving him unconscious with a bloody nose and pair of black eyes and maybe some bruises in the face against the wall as Seras left the scene after he had been talking about the picture in his mind of the three women naked in the same room. Seras swore that Pip was getting a bit angry at this point.
Anyway, when she was walking around she couldn't find Yoichi nor Kimizuchi anywhere. It was really strange to say at least. Instead she found Shinoa Walking into the library.
'Well can't be too bad to have a look.' Seras thought as she peered through the door and find Shinoa talking with Yuichiro about his condition. In that moment Seras walked inside. "Hey there guys." She said. Both teens turned to her as she was met with one usually cheerful Shinoa and a slightly grumpy Yu.
"Oh hey Seras. What are you doing here?" Shinoa asked.
"Not much. Strolling around and having nothing to do is boring. So what are you talking about?" Seras asked.
"Just Yuichiro's thick headed attitude." Shinoa said.
"Oi!" Yu protested, but was ignored. 'These two understand each other a bit too well.' He thought.
"I see. But to be honest I'd never have expected Yuu of all people to actually open a book or go into a library at all." Seras said with a cat-like smile, making Shinoa giggle a little. Yuichiro huffed and turned around, blushing slightly and muttering a barely hearable "Shut up!"
"But I really doubt you are actually reading this now are you?" Shinoa said picking up a book from the ground. "I bet you got your dirty magazines in this. Now where are they?" Shinoa said browsing through the pages while Yuichiro tried to grab the book out of her hands. Seras laughed at their antics.
"You know, you are only proving her right by trying to get it back Yu?" Seras said as she laughed. Then Shinoa's smile fell suddenly as she closed the book and handed over to a confused Yuichiro. "Shinoa are you okay?" Seras asked. She didn't answer as she made her way to the door. Seras gave Yuichiro a confused look, who mirrored her face expression until Shinoa opened her mouth.
"Yu-san?" She turned around to face him. "Are you trying to turn Mika back into a human?" That statement made an uncomfortable silence lay over the once cheerful atmosphere, but not just for Yuichiro, but also Seras Victoria since she was a vampire after all. She had been through this a long time ago. Shinoa walked up to Yuichiro again. "Do you want to know what I know about it?" She asked. The black-haired boy nodded.
"Yes. Of course." He said.
"Ohh~ you are always becoming so cute and obedient when you need something from me." Shinoa cooed, teasing the poor boy again.
"Shut up. Just tell me what you know." He said as Shinoa sat down next to him and put a serious face on.
"First off, vampires hate it when their number increase. Even more important, only the nobles are allowed to turn humans into vampires."
"That means Mika was turned by a noble." Yuu said in deep thought.
"Do you know someone who might have done it?"
"Yes, maybe."
'Asura is he talking about...' Seras asked the third progenitor.
'Yes. The noble who slaughtered Yu's family right in front of his eyes. He doesn't know any other nobles from that city that well.' Asura replied.
'Why would someone choose such an existence? Especially with the guy who killed your family and took joy in killing them as your master? I think I'd rather have killed myself instead of living like that.' Seras replied.
'That's a question I can't answer. However, it may as well be another vampire.' The cursed gear said.
"Say Shinoa, do you know how to turn a vampire back into a human?" Yuu's question snapped Seras back into reality. Shinoa shook her head at this. "I see. That's a pity." Yu said. Seras felt a very uncomfortable feeling in her stomach as if it twisted around into knots. Still she knew that she had to drop this bomb now, before Yuu would get his hopes up any further.
"It's impossible." Seras stated. Both teens looked at her as if they had forgotten that she had been standing there the whole time.
"I'm sorry what?" Yuichiro asked. Apparently he hadn't paid any attention to her. Seras sighed.
"I said it's impossible to turn a vampire back into a human being. Once you have changed there is no turning back." Seras said crossing her arms. "I've been doing this job for a long time. I've met all different kinds of people that were turned into vampires. Some were simply transformed to serve another vampire above them without even being asked by said vampire. Others had been turned willingly for all kinds of reasons. But it's always the same. Once you are a vampire, you will never be human again. That's a fact I had to accept as well." She said. Shinoa looked at Yuu as he looked quite down now. At first that had been the slightest hope that Mikaela could become a human again, but now it was simply snuffed out like a candle's flame.
"I won't lie about something like that. I've been through this a long time ago. When I was not a full vampire yet, I have tried to act like I was still human, but it was impossible. It was a really hard time for me to accept this new self. If it hadn't been for my master back then, I probably wouldn't have been able to pull through all of this." The british woman said. "And as far as I can tell your friend Mika is still fighting this conflict."
"What do you mean?" Yuu asked.
"From what I saw he didn't drank any human blood on the field. If he hasn't done that in the time he is a vampire willingly he isn't a full vampire yet." Seras said. "It's quite a step to do that and needs a lot of overcoming your own beliefs as a former human being. However don't think this changes something. Even a half vampire needs to rely on blood to survive. Also they are weaker than full vampires and the craving for blood puts both physical and mental strains on a vampire." Seras said. Yuu was shocked at this.
'Was Mika really in such pain because he didn't wish to drink blood?' He thought as Seras patted him on the shoulder, making him look at her.
"Don't worry about it. He must just drink even though not through free will and he'll be fine. As long as he doesn't embrace this side of him he won't turn into a full vampire yet. Also the kind of vampires here is different from those I hunted until then so there might be different rules." Seras said flashing the boy a grin. Yuichiro only huffed while smiling slightly.
"That's fine. For now it's enough for me that I know that he's still alive." He said.
"PRIVATE YUICHIRO HYAKUYA, COME IMMEDIATELLY TO OFFICE 1." A voice spoke through speakers that were installed everywhere for the case of an emergency. Seras was quite surprised once more as she saw the piece of technology being installed inside the walls. She knew that there was no way that all these buildings that had been designed for military purposes were built before the catastrophe, but it was really hard to understand how the people around here built all of this.
"What does Guren want now?" Yuu asked himself loud.
"Probably the Hiragi Family has ordered you to come to them." Shinoa said.
"The Hiragis?" Yuichiro and Seras asked.
"You shouldn't keep them waiting Yu." Shinoa said. Seras and Yu could detect the seriousness in that tone. It was not just some well meant advice. While Yu stood up Seras kept standing there and thought to herself. What was it that Shinoa was so serious about? Was there a specific reason? Were they perhaps dangerous? For all she knew the Hiragis were the family that lead the JIDA and therefore were at the top of the hierachy of this new human civilization.
'Perhaps I've read too many novels about this, but I kinda have a bad feeling about this.' Seras thought to herself. Yuu was almost at the door as he turned around.
"Wait. Isn't your family name Hiragi?" He asked Shinoa.
"Ah you have finally discovered my secret! I'm not just some simple sergeant. I'm basically loyalty So kneel down and praise me." Shinoa said in her usually carefree persona as she posed like an actor after a play waiting for applause.
*POP*
Suddenly confetti hung down from her head. Puzzled she looked at it as she turned around and saw Seras having a still smoking party popper in her hand directed at Shinoa.
"Sorry I couldn't resist." The british woman said. It took Shinoa's brain about 2 seconds to realize what just happened.
"Seras! You ruined my moment!" Shinoa shouted in embarrassment, blushing furiously. Yu was laughing at this. Seras kept smiling at the girl even though she was drumming with her fists on her back. It was really adorable. A short teenage girl like Shinoa was trying to hit a much older vampire into submission with her small hands. After a moment she turned to you and her face became once more a stoic mask, hiding the emotions that she held within her.
"Jokes aside, the Hiragis are a family of very scary people. So be careful Yu." She said. Yu said nothing before he turned around and left the room. Shinoa sighed once he was outside while Seras had already put the books Yu had left behind on the table on a single pile as she sat down on one of the chairs.
"So Shinoa mind telling me what's the matter with your family?" She asked. Shinoa first opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then she closed it without saying a word. She apparently chose to ignore her, turned away and put the books back into the shelves as if Seras had never asked, before heading to the exit. Seras wanted to stand up and ask her one more time, but figured that since her own past with her family was rather difficult she let it slide this time. However, before leaving Shinoa stopped behind the door and as the door began to shut.
"You should try to not get into trouble with the Hiragis." She said as she looked over her shoulder looking at Seras. It was a cool gaze like giving someone the warning to not come anywhere near them. "It wouldn't end well for you." Shinoa said. Seras could only look into the cold hazel eye of the lavender-haired girl. It was almost as if she was begging for help. To be freed from something that pained her. The draculina felt like jumping to her feet and demand clarity to help her, but she was like rooted on the spot. She was not afraid or anything, but she found herself unable to move as the look of Shinoa was not only a scream of help. It also held another unspoken message. 'Try not to help me.' The door closed and the fading footsteps of the girl she knew signalled her that she was gone.
"What do you think that was about?" Pip asked as he emerged from Seras' shoulder. Without cameras in the library and no other people around the frenchman could emerge as he liked. And being at the fresh air for once in a while was definitely better than being stuck inside the void that was Seras' inner world.
"No idea, but it cannot be good." Seras said as her shadow arm elongated and picked up the confetti and dumped it in a trash can.
"Should we perhaps think about the possibility that this organization might betray us?" Pip asked as he wanted to reach for a cigarette, but was stopped by Seras.
"Not in the library." She said sternly as she put the cigarette away. "It is not a possibility that they do that." Pip looked confused at Seras at this point. "It is a fact. So far we have been useful for them since we share the same goal or rather since our goals correlate. However, once we cross the line to do something these Hiragis are not okay with, we are basically just another vampire for their weapons to shoot upon." She said. "And somehow I'm getting a feeling that we may have already done so or don't even need to provoce them."
"Say that guy Kureto's surname was Hiragi as well, right? Guess Shinoa was right about scary looking People. I have seen some scary looking Clients in my life, but that guy Looks more like a ery disciplined watchdog." Pip said.
"Yes. That makes him Shinoa's brother, though I'm not sure if adopted or blood related since the two of them have no similiarity at all." Seras said. "But that's not the point. We should keep a lower profile for now. We still need to find information about that thing." She said as Pip retracted back into Seras' body.
'Good to know your sharp senses are still there. I was afraid you got rusty.' Pip chuckled as Seras' face heated up.
'Hey I take that as an insult!' The French man didn't listen as he was too amused.
Meanwhile somewhere else in the city
Alucard's walk was rather uneventful. As he walked through the streets he didn't encounter a single living soul. No human, vampire or monster was in this part of the Japanese capital. Or they hid so well that they couldn't be seen at the first glance. Safe for small birds that now took residence in the new vegetation of this ruined world no one was there. Alucard had no specific place to be. He had heard in the memories of another Vampire he had devoured that there might be some of them here.
However until now there was not a single soul around. Alucard wouldn't admit it openly, but he was bored. In all his existence he never felt such a boredom as now.
'Now now Alucard. No need to be zhat grumpy.' And then there was of course that guy. Oberfeldwebel Schrödinger of Millennium, the cat-like humanoid who was dead and alive at the same time. Everywhere and nowhere. These powers that Alucard had now mainly his omnipresence stemmed from this man's soul. And he was probably the biggest pain in the ass he had every encountered. And that was actually quite a large number since he was over 400 years old already despite the fact that he wasn't someone to bond with the people around him a lot.
'Quite. I don't feel like having your talk right now.' Alucard mentally told the one soul inside him he really wanted to get rid of, however couldn't because ever since he had absorbed Schrödinger, the cat-like man's soul was basically snuggling with Alucard's own like... well a cat. And apparently Schrödinger was taking a liking in Alucard's misery as Alucard couldn't kill him and vice versa.
'My my. You sure are mad today Alucard. Or do you prefer Dracula? Maybe Vlad...' And thus Schrödinger began his never ending ramble about how to call Alucard, ranging from his actual aliases to stupid nicknames only a child could come up with. And that meant a lot when you think about the fact that Schrödinger was already more than 50 years old.
'You know this other breed of vampires is surely interesting. I mean they walk around with all their fancy technology while being not that strong at all. I bet you could easy wipe them all out on your own.' Schrödinger kept rambling. 'So anyzhing you want to do onze zhis is over?' He said while making a purring noise. 'We could try and make an own vampire kingdom. How does zhat sound to you Vlad Tepes?'
Alucard chose to ignore the thoughts that the German Nazi was trying to plant into his mind. The last thing he needed was to make another World War 3 scenario, even though it would cure his boredom for a while.
"If you think I'll be tricked into one of your tasteless pranks again, you are deadly wrong." Alucard said loud as he smelled the faint scent of blood in the air. Smirking slightly he began to move towards the source.
'My pranks are not tasteless.' Schrödinger muttered but Alucard didn't reply much to a certain german's annoyance. The boyish man really hated being ignored. Probably another feline trait that was in his personality. At least he didn't make Alucard chase laser pointers.
Meanwhile at the HQ of the JIDA
Seras as standing on top one of the buildings as she talked with her master. Things were quite calm right now. It was almost a shame that she couldn't just go out and kill vampires like she normally did. It wasn't like she had a mental link to the people around here like to her master.
"I guess surviving here has its prize as well." Seras sighed as she recalled what she had seen today.
Flashback
As she had escaped from Shinoa's furious blows of being flustered, Seras had been walking through the medical wing of the JIDA headquarters. There were still a lot of injured soldiers from the fight a weak ago and some shot the draculina hateful looks as she passed by. The doctors immediately panicked and ran away in fright to call Guren or anyone else who might be strong enough to take her down.
Shaking her head she kept wandering until she saw a sign on one of the doors. It read Mirai Kimizuki. Simply phasing through the door like a ghost she quietly entered the room only stop. In a bed laid an unconscious young woman with long red hair. Across the right half of her body the marks of the Apocalypse Virus spread like violet tribal tattoos on the fair skin. A machine monitored her heartbeat she slept.
Seras walked over to the bed and simply looked over her. She looked not very peaceful. As if she was in pain her eyes moved around under her eyelids and her brows narrowed. Seras had seen people with the virus, but unfortunately not even her colleagues from Iscariot knew anything to ease the pain. She put a hand on the girl's forehead, feeling no kind of fever or anything that would indicate an illness. Sighing she pulled her hand away as she turned around.
The door and the walls partly were covered in paper tags with magic seals on had heard of these kind of things and actually seen some of them in Asian pop culture but this was something completely different. She could feel the tags slightly, but it was nothing special for her, but she felt no effect on herself. Her best guess was that the JIDA had made these tags to only be efficient on Mirai or they tried to contain something within this room. She looked at the sleeping Mirai once more. Seras felt something inside the girl, but couldn't place it right.
'It's almost like when...' Seras thought, thinking about Yu's rampage. However her train of thought was derailed as she heard voices from outside. "Looks like the visiting time is up." Seras said to herself as she let herself phase through the ground and land in the entrance hallway again, before leaving.
Flashback ends
Seras was tempted to just sit down and watch the sunset, while thinking about Kimizuchi's little sister's condition. However the tranquility of the moment was disturbed by the sudden worried exclaim by a voice that was definitely Mitsuba's.
"Oh my god! What have they done to you?" Seras walked to the edge of the roof to see what the reason for the commotion was. She stopped as she saw Yuichiro supporting two injured young men, who were Yoichi and Kimizuchi. Seras was quite far away, but her vampiric senses still allowed her to see clearly what was wrong with the two boys. Both had a lot of bruises on their bodies and on their backs were fresh stab wounds as if someone plunged a knife into their backs.
"Guren. What's the meaning of this?!" Yu shouted as he handed the two boys over to Mitsuba. "I, Mika, my entire family were just guinea pigs for some kind of experiment of the Hyakuya Sect. Is that the only reason why you saved me back then? To use me as a tool?" He shouted at Guren. Though Seras really wanted to interfere something told her to simply watch and observe the situation this time.
"Correct. I cannot afford to save someone who is of no use to me. What are you going to do about it? Cry like a child?" Guren asked as Seras clenched her hand into a fist. Under normal circumstances her gloves might have torn into shreds at this level of stress on the fabric, but since it was part her body it took a bit more than just that to tear her clothes.
'Les enfants will have to learn to deal with such things, ma cherie.' Pip said, trying to remind the draculina about the fact that they were living in a broken world. His French however didn't help to cover the fact that Guren had just confessed that he had only saved Yu 4 years ago to turn him into a tool. Seras gritted her teeth at this picture. She really was tempted to go down there and punch Guren right in the face. 'In this screwed up world everyone tries to survive as good as they can. That fact hasn't changed no matter where we are. The rules of survival have changed all those years ago.'
'I know that. It's just not right. And it isn't okay how shamelessly Guren admits this!' Seras said.
'Didn't Alucard save you as well because you were useful?' Pip asked. Seras mind froze at Pip's words. 'In all the centuries that he has lived on this world, Alucard never turned another person into a vampire. The only one who has directly descended from his was you Seras. Don't you think he had a certain plan in his mind back then?' Pip continued. 'I know the two of you a long time now and being a part of you might be a factor in this, but if I have to be honest I'd find it hard to believe that Alucard didn't had any held back thoughts when he turned you into a vampire. Maybe he deemed you worthy or maybe he just wanted some kind of junior employee for Hellsing. Hunting supernatural beings isn't quite the most popular job.' Seras sighed at her familiar/boyfriend's words.
'I've thought about that a lot of times Pip. You know that. Back then when he had disappeared I have asked myself a lot this question. Why me? Why did he turn me of all people into a vampire? Sometimes I think I understand his motives and sometimes I don't even think I know him very well. Still...' Seras paused as she turned her gaze up to the now pink colored sky as the dusk came to its climax, when the rays of the setting sun dyed the clouds in all kinds of colors before all would fade into black darkness. 'I think I can say now that master and I can rely on one another without any doubt. I know there are no more thoughts back and no more schemes to hide. It's just the three of us and our perhaps never ending search for the one who ended the world.' She said smiling to herself as she sat down the roof.
'Three?' Pip asked.
'Oh you know. You, me and master. That's three people.' Seras thought. The Frenchman chuckled at this after a small pause.
'Would you count Asura and her chibi sister into that as well? It's Kind of weird that you keep counting me despite the fact that I'm only a familiar of yours. Sure we are what the closest Thing to Lovers is, but I don't have a body on my own and cannot really go outside you. Asura however is different and her sister probably doesn't have to make this experience.' Pip said.
'Don't know. Asura seems to be a nice girl, but she has yet to reach the level of a full vampire. I'm sure she will be strong, but I got no clue how strong she will be. And I never met Krul personally. I can only tell so far about her from the memories of the guys I've eaten. So far she seems rather confident about defeating the humans here in Tokyo. But despite her young appearance she must be around Asura's age and she's not stupid, that's for sure.' Seras thought. Pip remained silent for a moment.
'Say would you kill her?' Pip asked.
'Huh?' Seras blinked at the question as if she just misheard him.
'Would you kill her? Krul I mean if she turns out no better than the rest around here despite the fact that she's Asura's little sister. Would you still be able to kill her?' Pip asked again. Seras thought about it. She liked Asura. She was easy to tease despite being older than her. And to be honest she kind of liked the idea of a little sibling since she was an alone child. However her job was to kill supernatural beings like herself to protect mankind. Could she really choose her job over her friend? As a human she might have said no, but as a member of Hellsing she would have said of course.
Back when Pip had died she made a simple decision. She choose to drink his blood, became a true vampire, thus abandoning all humanity that was left inside her, safe for her mindset that was, and fight Millennium until it was burnt to the ground with what remained in London. There was no such situation. There was only living as a vampire or dying as a half one and dooming every one of the Wild Goose she had tried to protect. In the years that Alucard had been gone, Seras had only few coworkers. The activity of vampires was not that high anymore with Millennium being wiped out and other supernatural beings mostly kept themselves hidden well. Even in that time she would have chosen to safe the live of a loyal Hellsing worker than mindlessly charging at her opponents without any care about her allies.
But now she wasn't so sure herself anymore.
'We'll see. When we can arrange a meeting of the two girls we might be able to not having to kill Krul to get to know who the one who ended the world was.' Seras said. Pip knew of course what Seras was thinking, but said nothing about it. Instead he just smiled and tipped his hat.
'Well you're my boss Seras-chan. When you want something I'll help you with it.' Seras smiled warmly at this as she put a hand on her chest.
'Thanks Pip.' She then vanished back into the shadows as the night came. She really needed some sleep after all of this. A calm night in her coffin would probably do wonders, though she had the feeling that she wouldn't get one.
Later that night
*BANG* *SPLATTER*
"HIIII!" A panicked sound escaped one of the last two vampire's lips as the monster in front of him killed the last of his comrades. Wielding two pistols the monster in human skin strode in long steps towards the vampire as he held his swords with shaking hands. There was so much blood in the room. Enough blood to make a vampire like himself satisfy his hunger for days, weeks perhaps. It covered his entire view. But it was no human blood, but that of his fellow vampires. They had thrown everything they had at this thing. Explosives, guns, swords, even collapsing a tunnel on top of it, thus sacrificing a part of their base around this area and all cattle in it.
So why? Why was this abomination not going down?!
*SPLATTER*
The vampire never knew the answer as one of the monster's bullets had drilled itself into his chest and tore through his internal organs. Useless as they were as vampires of his Kind did not ingest anything, but blood they didn't simply disappear when being transformed into a vampire. He screamed in pain as he almost fell backwards, only to look up again at his soon to be murderer.
Alucard looked unamused at the pile of ash that was one of those overconfident and weak vampires. The vampires around here were basically corpses, that walked around, prided themselves with their supremacy over humanity and drank the blood of people, all while denying the fact that they had been humans once themselves. They had no heartbeat, no body temperature and no secretions. Looking at it from another point of view, they might be very good predators, but compared to Alucard they were nothing.
He was the apex predator. The one that hunted down little wannabe vampires like them, that pretended to be strong, and drank their blood until their very souls were drained out. A walking nightmare given form in the shape of the man that once had challenged and fought the entire Ottoman Empire.
And right now this living nightmare haunted all of them in Tokyo. Whenever he left his place he went out to go for a walk, killing supernatural and aggressive beings of all Kinds alike, while vampires stood on the top of his to kill list. He was well aware that his actions here would have a large impact on the vampire's community in Japan. And that was the plan. It was as if taking a pot and a spoon to make so much noise that everyone knew that you were there. As someone who killed vampires without a shred of remorse Krul would send out her hunting parties to find the one who had done it even if it was only to pinpoint his location by throwing soldiers like cattle into a meat grinder.
A blade almost cut his face as he instinctively leaned backwards a little. The last vampire screamed in panic as he slashed madly with his two swords, that had their spikes driven deep into the man's palms, at the No-Life King. It was pretty clear that the vampire had lost it so the man once known as Vlad Tepes decided to end this before it could get anymore embarrassing for him to watch this mad fool. First he shot the vampire in both hands, destroying the flesh completely. Blood streamed out the stumps as the vampire screamed in pain and terror, but Alucard was far from done. Holstering his pistols he grabbed both arms and twisted them in a way they shouldn't be bend at all.
*CRUNCH* *FLOSH* *CRACK*
Sounds like those of a medieval torture chamber filled the room as the vampire was inflicted more and more pain by the nosferatu. The only sounds that left the poor creature's jaws were screams and whimpers of pain as Alucard tore both arms off. The momentum made the vampire fall backwards. The man known as Alucard reached out to the vampire and grabbed him by his head while pulling him up as he trashed and wriggled around like a fish on a hook, hissing like a cat, only to groan in pain as Alucard drove his fingers into the other vampire's cranium.
"Stop struggling. I know that this won't kill you immediately." Alucard said as he pushed one pistol into the hole of the vampire's chest. The barrel was still hot from the shots fired earlier and so the vampire was experiencing even more pain than before. "If I pull the trigger on this gun you are dead for sure. However, I do not show any mercy to trash like you and killing you like that would simply be too merciful." Alucard continued as he applied more pressure on the vampire's head. If it wasn't for the gloves his fingernails would already draw blood. "So I'll make this easier for you. You tell me what I wish to know and perhaps I'll kill you faster. Now, what are the vampires around here planning now since their little attack failed?"
"Like hell I'm telling you! You're with that woman, right? Why are yo-
*BANG* *SPLATTER*
"GYAAAHH!" The vampire screamed as the No Life King had pulled the trigger. However instead of aiming upwards, Alucard had shot down, destroying whatever was left of the vampire's entrails and shattering his waist. The bullet had punched through the poor fool's spine making the blood and bits of flesh exit the body through the waist.
"I'm the one asking the questions so talk." Alucard said with a sadistic smile slowly creeping on his face. The vampire panted and moaned in pain as he sucked in hissed breaths of cool night air.
"I don't-"
B*ANG* *SPLATTER*
"GAAAHHH! PLEASE STOP! I'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING! PLEASE NO MORE!" The vampire screamed out when Alucard shot again through what could have been the vampire's abdomen, shattering the bones of his right leg and piercing through whatever organs this man hadn't used for probably centuries.
The Hellsing member dropped the vampire who laid there, whimpering in agony as he Held his wounds in pain, trying to stop the blood streaming out. Alucard knew that without any blood being close by this insect couldn't regenerate even if it wanted to and slowly bled to death.
"Then talk." Alucard said in a voice that left no room for arguments. It was a direct order and this vampire would do best to follow it. He was going tired of this when it go him nowhere.
"Q-Qu-Queen Krul T-Tepes has declared war to the humans before the attack. They'll launch another attack in the next few days." The vampire wheezed out. As he tried to scramble away to at least increase his chance of survival a little bit, he saw his weapons, ordinary vampiric swords not laying far too much away.
'If I get my sword, I can put it in my mouth, cut out that fucker's eyes and drink his blood. Yes. You think you can mess with us vampires like you are something better than us, don't you? You human-loving, stupid piece of-'
CRACK* *CRUNCH*
"GGAAAHAAAAAAAAA!" The train of thoughts was cut off as Alucard now stood behind the vampire and had stomped down on his leg. The force of it had broken every bone in it and their fragments were now stabbing the flesh in multiple places from the inside out. The vampire could feel how they produced out his own flesh as blood oozed out the wounds.
"When is that attack going to be? Who'll be involved in it? Where are they hiding?" Alucard said as he grinded his foot against the hand that was caught beneath the shoe and the concrete floor as it acted like a mortar and pestle, slowly grinding the appendage into minced meat. "Come on. Come on. We are far from done for tonight." The man said his grin always growing with the pained screams of his victim.
"I DON'T KNOW! THAT WAS ALL I KNEW! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I DON'T KNOW!" The japanese vampire screamed out, before a pistol barrel stained with his own blood was shoved down his throat. Then Alucard did something that really would have made that vampire soil his pants if he still would have been able to. He chuckled. At first it was a quite noise, but then a fully maniacal laughter erupted from his throat. Alucard looked directly down on the vampire as he spoke.
"For the love of God? Have you forgotten what you are? You are a vampire, a monster that gave up its humanity and now is nothing more than an undead corpse. I don't have any love for God and neither do you nor does he have for any of us. If you pray to your god now it only makes you even more pathetic than before. A vampire begging God for forgiveness? Don't make me laugh. After all you'll just go straight to hell anyway."
"PHOO PHFEA-! (NOO PLEA-!)"
*BANG* *SPLATTER*
With that Alucard pulled the trigger and the other vampire' head exploded into bloody chunks, that fell on the ground to the other blood and ashes of the other vampires. Putting his gun back into his cloak the blood in the room began to be absorbed by the true vampire's feet, not leaving a single drop to stain the floor and walls. Sometimes the vampire was quite happy about the fact that these vampires had no body secretions otherwise it would be very disgusting to wipe the salvia, sweat and tears off his guns every time. When he was finished he walked back out the base as he saw the children held down here looking at him with fearful eyes. They had all reason to after all he simply slaughtered the vampires with his bare hands or his two guns. Watching a monster such as him at work was surely not something you'd like your children to see. Or in general. Alucard was making no difference between the trashes he killed. No matter their age, gender or race, Alucard was a monster that had abandoned his own humanity for power. He could kill vampires, humans and other creatures without beating an eye.
He spared the children a cold gaze over his shoulder before walking out into the night. He had nothing to tell them. There was no comfort that he could give them or wanted to give them. Until not each and every of these vampires was dead it was safe to say that humans like them would always be used as livestock by them. And even if they disappeared there were still Seras and himself. They were vampires as well and unlike those that had taken over the world, they couldn't simply nip on someone. No, the result of being bitten by either of them was either being turned into a ghoul, a vampire or to be completely absorbed by them. So what was there left to do when the vampires' reign would end? Alucard didn't know and he didn't even bothered to find out. He still had to find the one who destroyed the world and then he could think about such a thing.
However. the vampires around here didn't knew much about either. Perhaps it would be the best to visit the queen in person anytime soon. Until then he was waiting for the right moment. As for now the only people that knew of his presence here were Seras, Asura and all the dead vampires that were unfortunate enough to cross their path with him. But surely it was going to be more interesting soon. These children surely were an interesting bunch. And hopefully they would bring Alucard closer to Seras' and his goal.
In Sanguinem
*BAM*
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!" Krul's fist came down the armrest of her throne with a loud banging sound, which resonated through the room as she looked down at the messenger.
"I-I'm sorry your highness, but there were no other traces from where the remains of the guards had been found." The vampire stammered. Krul's fingers tightened around the armrests. Her sharp nails digging into the soft fabric. She then stood up and glared at the other vampire.
"Increase the number of daily patrols. Do not even let a cockroach slip past our walls without informing me. Now leave, before I lose my temper.
"H-Hai!" The messenger hurried out at this. Once the doors were shut she fell down on her throne. Gritting her teeth so hard that they might break apart she continued to glare hatefully at the floor in front of her as she had no one to glare at.
"Tch!" First Ferid basically stabbed her in the back by revealing that Yuichiro was a surviving member of the Seraph of the End Project, that was supposed to be exterminated and now she was informed that the day before when she had felt this strange presence in the city several vampires were missing and most likely killed without anyone seeing or hearing a thing.
'Someone is playing here with me! The nerve of those!? No calm down Krul. You MUST keep your calm here. Your enemy wants this and by giving in you only play into their hands.' She sighed at this as she looked into the now empty throne room. The situation was running out of her hands like sand. The seraph of the end in the humans' hands was bad enough, but at the same time appeared some demon unlike any she had seen. Next thing she does is fighting vampires alongside the humans, wiping out an entire outpost. If there were no scouts from far away she wouldn't even know about this.
There had been similiar attacks on vampires that tried to secure lifestock on the surface in the last week. Entire parties disappearing with no way to contact them or to locate them. At first she suspected humans to kidnap them for experiments, but now she had another thought entirely. What if they were all killed by this demon? What if a third party had gotten involved in this game? What if she was dealing with something far beyond her knowledge? Everything seemed to point into that direction.
Krul hated it to be outsmarted. A vampire that had lived for centuries, outsmarted by some third party and she was unable to even find any information about them. It was frustrating, but throwing tantrums like a little spoiled child would not help in any kind of way. She wanted to dispatch agents to collect any kind of information, at very least a small glipse through the keyhole, but the number of vampires was dropping quite a lot. If she did nothing against this, they would have to give up several outposts and cities to secure the lifestock and with that their food supply at least.
Krul would definitely be kicked off her current position as the queen of Japan if she did so, however right now she was like a cornered rat. She had only this much information about this new party and she couldn't ask for help from outside without having an idea what they were up against.
Meanwhile her familiar looked at her concentrated. The one-eyed bat-like creature just looked at their master as it came closer and sat on the armrest. Krul petted the small creature between the two ears, making her smile a little bit. Some things didn't change even when you became an immortal, inhumane vampire. She did not notice the red tint in the black round pupil of her familiar.
At the same time somewhere else
Seras was sitting on a large piece of concrete that had fallen off the ruins of the city around her as Shinoa's squad was trying to Keep Yu pinned to the ground. The raven-haired boy trashed around like a maniac and screamed in his unconscious state. Shinoa and the others were well aware of her presence, but earlier Seras had said something that made them refuse to ask her for help. Right now they tried to synchronize Yu with his demon Asura, but apparently the energy the bluenette emitted was a bit strong for him.
"When you really want to fight your way through this world, you'll need to learn to fight on your own." She had said to them. It was true however that there were individuals in this world that the squad couldn't take on like high ranked nobles and progenitors. It was frustrating for the teens and it surely did nothing to brighten their already gloomy mood, however it was also something that motivated them. It was so easy to manipulate some people.
Seras knew that each of them had a desire to protect the people around them through their own strength. The reasons for that might vary from one another a lot, yet the goal was the same. The draculina admired that kind of strong will. It reminded her of herself as well as the people that had fought head to head with her master. Humans that Alucard deemed to call 'true humans' through their indomitable will.
Still...
"AAHHHH!" Yu screamed on and on in his unconscious state. Earlier he had too enthusiastically awakened Asuramaru by first infusing her power into him and then by letting her drink a bit of his blood. Seras wasn't sure if that would make Asura a true vampire now or not, but she doubted it. For now it looked more like she was trying to take over Yu's body like demons tended to. For now all she could do was to hope that Yuichiro was able to withstand her.
Within Yu's mindscape
The raven haired boy laid on the white rocky floor as Asura simply looked over him. Despite being a vampire now it seemed that she could still create such a space in Yuu's mind and try to take over his body. Perhaps it was because she had been a cursed gear for so long that she gained such an ability, but it mattered little for Asura. Right now she had at least to act like she was still a demon. Her powers have grown a little, but she wasn't showing it and simply made Yuu's nightmare more intensive than last time.
She had confronted him with his dead friends and his parents that had tried to kill him. But then his dream changed and he was back in the vampire city where he had fled from. Seeing him approach that fake Mikaela's hand made her somewhat envious as she had no idea how Krul was. Yu could say that Mika was alive and most likely doing well. Krul however had a heavier burden than the noble vampire as she was the ruler of Japan. And it was pretty clear to Asura that Krul was not the type of person that would be most suitable for that job. She never was like her older sister.
"Mou! Why can't I get this right already?" She had been raging when she had constantly stinging herself with a sewing needle during those classes. Girls learned stuff like that and cooking and whatever a good housewife needed to know when they were young to be married away to other families. To be fair about Krul's poor performance at sewing, while she managed to make two pieces of cloth stick together Asura's work always looked like some torn rag or some run over animal.
She then noticed Yuu sitting up from his nightmare, which surprised Asura just a little. However given her host's thickheaded nature she wasn't surprised that he didn't gave up.
"Oh. I already thought I had won." She said with a small smile.
"You'll need something better than that to beat me. So what are you going to do about it?" Yuichiro said with his self-confident attitude.
"I'll kill you." With that a mass of her demonic energy gathered behind her as she ran towards Yuichiro. She didn't mean it of course. It would be boring if Yuu would just die now. However then the boy did something unexpected. He grabbed the sword at his hip and threw it in front of him, making it embed itself into the ground in front of her. "What are you doing?" Asura asked with an angry expression on her face, faking frustration.
"I didn't come here to hurt you. I need you and your strength. So will you help me to save Mika?"
"And what do I have from this?" Asura scoffed, but Yuu only smiled at her.
"Then I'll be your friend." Yu said. "I know how it is to be left out and to have nowhere to belong to."
Asura couldn't actually believe it as the boy was getting more ridiculous. Yet he was serious and Asura for her part was surprised due the fact that she was actually buying it. No she knew that he was honest. But to grow up with such hardships and then preserve such a childish attitude in a world where everything would try to kill you was not something many accomplished. Actually most people shed such foolishness from themselves when they had their first fight as it could kill you.
In this world misplaced trust could lead to a really quick and painful death.
"That's why you want to be my friend?" Asura offered a kind smile as she looked at the raven haired boy who could be such a pain sometimes.
"Yeah." Yuichiro said grinning from ear to ear. With that the white desert vanished.
Back in the real world
As Yu's screams had died down, Seras could tell that everything had been gone well. She had no doubt that Yu would manage to calm Asura down, especially since she wasn't aiming for possessing him or actually harming him. And that gave Seras a lot more possibilities to tease her later. She grinned at the thought as she smiled wickedly and rubbed her hands in an evil manner while shooting the teen a cat like smile. The others of the Shinoa squad didn't know what Seras was doing, but the fact that it made a shiver running down all of their spines was enough reason to make them not ask.
"Look who's finally waking up." Seras said smiling down at Yu, who looked rather unnerved at the sweet tone of the vampire.
"Did you expect something else?" Yu asked pointing at Seras.
"Maybe." The draculina didn't look at the boy at this.
"You really have returned. I mean it is you." Yoichi said, snapping Yu out of his state of mind.
"For second we really thought we were a goner." Kimizuchi sighed in relief.
"Sorry for that. I didn't know what happened with my body." Yu said.
"Long story short, you started screaming and trashing around so the others had you pinned at the ground." Seras said. An anger tick appeared in Yu's forehead at this.
"Well it looks like you managed to overcome your demon. I'm glad it didn't damage your soul. Is really everything alright?" Shinoa asked. Yu smiled at her reassuring.
"Yeah I'm good." He said. "But I know I'd pull through this. After all I'm not alone anymore. I got you now." Yu said. Shinoa seemed to be surprised, while Seras came down next to Yu and hugged him.
"Aw! That's so sweet of you! (^▽^)" Seras said, rubbing Yu's head with her hand, while holding him in a tight grip. The black haired teen struggled to get out of the claws of the vampire for two reasons. One: He was still very uncomfortable with Seras despite the others tolerating her. Two: Her chest area made it difficult for him to breath.
"Let go! (ಠ益ಠ)" He managed to wheeze out and was immediately dropped on the ground again. "Dammit I didn't meant you, vampire." Seras then towered over Yu and leaned over to look directly at Yu's face.
"That's a shame. Such a confession from the bottom of your heart and I'm not invited." Seras faked her distress as she held a hankerchief close to her eye, faking to wipe away tears.
"Where the hell did that even come from?!" Yu shouted at Seras, who punched him lightly on top of his head to give him only an headache, though she doubted that she could actually break through the thick head of this bky.
"Now listen closely Yuichiro. I do not like it to be simply called 'Vampire'. Call me by my name and things are alright. But name me something that I see as offending and I'll show you how I put boys like you in a line when I was still at the police." She said, crossing her arms. Yu only looked away like an offended child. The others only stared at the two vampire hunters.
'They are actually like one and the same right now...' They thought sweatdropping. If one would describe it, it was as if Seras waas Yu's big sister, berating him about something stupid that he did.
"Well in that case it's my turn now." Kimizuchi said, while the others, including Yu and Seras, only looked at him. "What?"
"Well it's a bit late already isn't it?" Mitsuba said. "We could continue the training tomorrow."
"Huh?! No way we do this now!" Kimizuchi was shocked at this while Seras chuckled as she rose from her seat and landed next to them.
"And I'm a bit hungry and it's getting late, you know?" Yoichi said smiling sheepishly.
"Not you as well!" Kimizuchi said as Seras spoke up.
"How about I take care so now horsemen are going to disturb you and you train with Kimizuchi here?" She asked. The teens looked at one another, before nodding.
"Alright then." Mitsuba said agreeing with the idea. Seras nudged the pinkette boy in the side at this, before taking off with her shadow forming wings. She flew up to one of the old skyscrapers' roofs as she let her shadow slowly cover the area. Normally she could only do this in a closed area, however small open areas could also be covered by her shadow. A building or a room is much easier to monitor as there was no air space that an enemy could usually use to escape her trap. With that ability she could turn an entire building into a massive trap, killing everyone who even thought about touching the walls.
As her shadow spread even beyond the position of the Shinoa Squad she felt how a lone horsemen stepped on her shadow. It was like an ant had stepped on someone's skin. It probably was after the kids as Kimizuchi began to scream, but Seras already knew that this seemed to be common on the first time linking with their demons. Deciding to end it, Seras quickly went over to the horsemen as it walked towards the squad that was a block further. It stalked carefully forward like a wolf, but in Seras' eyes it was but a rabbit in the eyes of a hawk as she dived down and slammed her fist into the creature's head, making it explode in crimson fountains of blood.
She couldn't really complain about drinking those creatures' blood as it was just sustaining her as much as human blood and vampire blood did. Still even in all those years that had passed since that christmas eve, neither Alucard, Heinkel or Seras knew anything about these creatures' origins and the vampires she had killed so far were just as clueless as herself. Speaking of the priestess she really needed to call her at least once in a while, which she hadn't done since arriving in Japan.
Son once the horsemen had been absorbed into her being, she flew up to her observation spot again as she fished out a telephone from her pocket and began to tip in the numbers. It wasn't quite easy, but at least it was better than nothing as Heinkel and Seras couldn't communicate telepathically. Then she heard someone picking up the phone.
"Hi Hein-"
"WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG TO REPORT YOUR STATUS IN JAPAN HUH?!" The priestess of Iscariot shouted right into the phone as it felt for Seras like she was standing right next to her to shout in her ear. "We've been waiting a week for you or Alucard to call. ONE WEEK! Do you have any idea what that's like! Anything could have happened in that time!" Seras sweatdropped at this as Heinkel now sounded more like a mother scowling her teenage children for staying away all night long and not once calling.
"Alright alright. Jeez calm down." Seras tried to calm the german woman down, but to no avail.
"CALM DOWN!? First you are not reporting your status on a mission overseas at what basically is at the other end of the world! Then your master flies after you to do the exactly same thing! AND NOW YOU ARE CALLING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY OUT OF THE BLUE AND TELL ME TO CALM DOWN?" Heinkel's voice had such a high volume that Seras wouldn't be surprised if Shinoa and the other would hear her even over Kimizuchi's screams.
"Okay I'm sorry for not calling earlier. However a few things have happened. So listen well..." And so Seras began to tell Heinkel whatever had happened in the last days since she had arrived with Alucard leaving out Asura's existence or the fact that she was Krul's older sister. After having told her everything else, the German woman seemed to have calmed down on the other end of the phone.
"I see. Then this JIDA needs to be observed. When they now know that we are still alive it won't take long until they will try to contact us. However I share your opinion about this. Something doesn't sit right with these people. And it isn't just the cultural difference here."
"Agreed." Seras said. "So any idea what to do with them when they are such a problem?" She asked. Heinkel remained silent for a moment.
"For now let's gather more information about them. If they should have some connection to the Hyakuya sect or the Seraph of the End project, they might become the key element to finding the ones responsible for all of this." Heinkel's voice was laced with venom as she said that. It was no secret that Heinkel just wanted the ones that were responsible for the world's end dead as much as Alucard and Seras, even if their motives were different from one another. After all nothing made people better cooperate than a common enemy.
"Understood. I'll keep an eye and ear open and see if I can find something about that." Seras said nodding to herself. Heinkel released a sigh at this.
"Good. You better don't mess this up you unholy-" *WAM* In that moment Seras could hear how a door close to Heinkel was violently flung open, making it bounce of the wall behind it. Heinkel seemed confused as she began to speak again. "What the- Hey what are you doing- Hey wait what are you- OI! THAT'S NOT A TOY!? GIVE IT BACK!" Heinkel suddenly grew louder, but her voice was more distant as the phone was roughly taken by another person.
"Big sis Seras! Is it really you?" A chorus of children voices asked as many voices talked in chaos and without order, making it almost impossible to understand them. The draculina laughed at this. Apparently Heinkel was not as good in commanding children around as she was good in to do so with Iscariot agents.
"Yes that's me." She said making the children laugh and speak even louder.
"Where are you?"
"Is everything alright?"
"Are you going to return soon?"
The typical questions young children asked their parents when they were gone for a bit longer than usual and they had a telephone. Seras smiled warmly at this.
"I'm sorry but I'll be staying here for the foreseeable future. But don't worry I'll be back before you know it?"
"Promise?" A sad girl's voice rang through the speaker.
"Yeah pinky promise!" Seras said enthusiastically.
"Okay you little brats. You better get back to the class before I drag you there." Heinkel said as she swiftly took the speaker once more.
"But big sister Heinkel~" A few children whined.
"No buts. Sorry Seras I have to stop here."
"Alright. Give me your notes when I come back." Seras said in a sing sang voice.
"Seras when you get back here I'll-"
"Sounds great. Until then bye." Seras quickly interjected.
"Sera-!"
*CLICK*
With that Seras cut the call as she sighed and looked up to the stars with a smile on her lips.
"Enjoying yourself?" Suddenly said a familiar voice behind the draculina. Seras turned around and smiled at Alucard who sat on the edge of the roof looking at Seras over a shoulder. Seras couldn't see it, but given the tone in his voice he was smiling. "You seem to be enjoying it when you were looking after the brats back home, but I wouldn't have bet that you'd do it again here."
"It's only coincidentally. I didn't ask those guys to make me their babysitter for these teens." Seras shrugged as she sat next to him. For a moment they only sat there as a cool breeze passed them by. It was nice like this, but they both knew that Alucard was no here to admire the scenery. "Have you found out something, master?" Seras asked.
"Those vampires plan on a offensive in a few days to take care of the humans around here. They will most likely try to get rid of the JIDA's elite fighters." Alucard said.
"What do we do then?" A moment of silence followed Seras' question.
"We continue like we have until now. We have been only a few days here and not found any sufficient information. The fact, that the JIDA is not granting us access to their Research willingly is not doing us a big favor there." Alucard said. "While I do enjoy it that some humans still have a spine to fight against these vampires, I do not have the desire to help them. Our mission was given to us by Integra and we will finish it."
"Understood." Seras said, looking down to her feet. "So about that attack..." She looked up to her master again.
"They will ask you for help. You're right now an ace in the JIDA's Hand. Try to gather as much Information as possible. If they are to betray us or stand in our goal's way you know what to do." Alucard said, looking at his fletchling. Though his words were cold like ice, Seras so no menace or evil will in her master's eyes. She knew all too well how much he envied them. She even felt a bit sad for him, but this was neither the time nor place for such a Thing. Right now, she had to focus on the task ahead.
*CLANG*
The sound of blades clashing against one another made the draculina look down. While talking with Heinkel and Alucard had made her look away from her surroundings she had not heard any horsemen or vampires. If they had been there, it would have been impossible for them to sneak up on her. And then there was Alucard. With him around it was almost like a death sentence for any other vampire in a radius of 100 meters. Her master wouldn't have come to this place if he had not already exterminated whatever creature had lurked in the dark.
Also Seras and Alucard could feel the demonic power the two cursed gears emitted. It was similiar to their own, even that of Kimizuchi's gear, but it was suppressed and less powerful than their own.
"Apparently vampires lose their personality along with their memories when they turn into demons, making them for the vampires around here more or less what human do see in us. Mindless killing machines without morales and sense." Alucard said. "What a shame. I'm sure those would actually be able to put up a fight." Seras sighed at this, sweatdropping at her master's antics.
"Well the duel seems to have reached ist conclusion." Seras said looking down. Yu had first activated his new powers by summoning a fan of katanas from crimson flames around himself, before Shooting them at the other teen. However, Kimizuchi could easily deflect each blade with his dual swords as the swords came in rather slowly. One of the blades got redirected and shot into an old van, which then exploded in a large fireball. Kimizuchi then summoned something like a black coffin. The top lifted itself slightly as two pink glowing eyes peered out and a faint voice began to count from 1 to 4. At that point Yu quickly withdrew into safer distance.
What followed was both boys arguing about how much they annoyed each other with Yoichi trying to calm both boys down. Meanwhile Seras and Alucard heard Shinoa and Mitsuba talking at the sidelines about the boys and their combat abilities, despite being far away.
"Oh? They shouldn't be that strong yet?" Alucard said as a grin formed on his face. "Interesting. It seems like my granddaughter has found an interesting wielder indeed." Seras knew that face very well. It wasn't his usual bloodthirsty expression. It was the face of a battle maniac, who finally found a worthy opponent or at least an interesting one. While the Boys were basically strangers to her, Seras didn't want her master to just go down there and scare them like children at Halloween by jumping out of a wall. Also the way Alucard chuckled to himself at the thought of fighting them was a little bit creepy for her. And she was a fearless vampire for crying out loud.
Though she had to admit that Mitsuba raised a good question. all three of them were stronger than usual soldiers. All showed massive potential with their cursed gear. So where did Guren find those boys? And something in Seras' head told her, that she would not like the answer to all of this.
"I'll be going then master. Be careful." Seras said as she jumped down the building between the three boys, startling them. "You did quite well you two, though you still have some errors and need to improve your new found power as well."
"Ha? What do you know about that kind of thing anyway?" Yu asked. Seras kept her cool this time as she looked at Yu with a stern look. Faster than he could see it Seras had jabbed him against the forehead, making him hold it in pain.
"You are slow. A projectile attack is only efficient when it's fast or if the target doesn't sees it coming. The speed you shot those swords was slow. Far too slow to be actually efficient in combat. But you can move during that assault and the attack got a lot of destructive power. Keep training and you might as well kill a noble Vampire with it." Seras said with a toothy grin. Yu tried not to show it, but he actually felt pride swell up inside of him.
"As for you Kimizuchi," Seras continued, turning to the pinkette teen. "your attack has a massive flaw, that is the delation of activation and effect. If you always have to wait 9 seconds and your demon Keeps counting loud at this, you basically invite vampires to kill you as they can easily reach you while being unguarded. More importantly we have yet to see it in Action since Yu here ran off."
"I'm not going to let myself get killed by this stupid coffin!" Yu shouted in the background. Seras ignored him.
"However, you can actually put this attack into good use by Setting an ambush for example or another trap. Other than that your dual-wielding skill is very good for a boy of your age. At my time I doubt that someone could have done this." Seras said. Kimizuchi's cheeks burned a little in a pale pink shade at the praise from Seras. A detail that was not lost to a certain Hiragi.
"You really seem to like Kimizuchi-san Seras-chan. Don't tell me you try to hit on him." Shinoa said in her usual carefree tone, while giving Seras a teasing grin. The pinkette boy wanted to say something, but Seras was faster in responding the question.
The response Shinoa got was being chopped on the head so hard, that her head left a small crater in the old and broken road and was knocked unconscious instantly. It was a bit bizarre that Shinoa had no other injuries visible, but that was actually something good. Seras said nothing before grabbing Shinoa by a leg and dragging her towards Shinjuku. She turned around with a far too innocent smile.
"Aren't you guys coming?" She asked. In that moment the teens felt a sudden urge to move quickly back into their quarters.
Alucard watched slightly amused at Seras dragging the teens away from the city and shoving them one by one into the humvee again. The nosferatu knew however that these children needed a good lead if they wanted to survive. He transformed into a swarm of bats as they took off into the night sky.
"Be careful, huh? I should rather say that to you Seras." Alucard mused as he flew off into the night.
Once people had said that children where the future of humanity.
If that was true these children had to succeed or they would face extinction.
Omake
"Well it looks like you managed to overcome your demon. I'm glad it didn't damage your soul. Is really everything alright?" Shinoa asked. Yu smiled at her reassuring.
"Yeah I'm good." He said. "But I know I'd pull through this. After all I'm not alone anymore. I got you now." Yu said. Shinoa seemed to be surprised, while Seras came down next to Yu and hugged him.
"Huh? Am I missing something here or did that girl just flirt with Yu? Kukuku, Yu-san you little dirty casanova you. Wait why am I even bothering such a thing now? I'm pretty sure I didn't mind when Mahiru was having her first time with Guren did I?" Asura thought loud to herself as she thought back to a time not that long ago.
Flashback
Mahiru was in the same white plain as Yu was whenever he entered Asura's mindscape. Wearing her school uniform, she twirled around, making her hair and skirt flutter a bit like a dancer as she had one of those cliché girly moments, where a girl would be fanning over her crush like they had nothing better to do or cared for nothing else in the world.
Asura had to confess that, given the fact that she had access to Mahiru's memories through her mind and dreams, Guren was not a bad looking fellow for his age and surely had some charisma. Otherwise he probably wouldn't have three other girls swarm around him like bees. However, Asura gave no damn about the feelings of her host. Mahiru was strong by no doubt, but she was also very annoying.
Especially when it comes to a certain topic.
(Deadpool: It's two topics. To give you readers a hint: BOING BOING.)
(Don Orbit: BEGONE FROM MY PC!?)
(Deadpool: NEVER!? (starts eating chimichangas like a hamster))
Right now she was not very far from turning into a demon and yet she acted like she had just won in the lottery. Well she sure did won one thing which was Guren's virginity.
"Hah~ I wonder if he's thinking about me right now. Maybe I should invite him to me at the weekend something." Mahiru daydreamed in her unconsciousness while the vampire princess was standing next to the sword binding her will to that lovesick puppy in front of her as she supported her head with her elbow on the sword's hilt and her hand on her cheek.
It had been going like this for what seemed to Asura hours as she finally opened her mouth, unable to take anymore of that lovely dovely.
"Oi Mahiru." She said. Mahiru stopped what she was doing as she turned her head over her shoulder.
"Mhm? Is something the matter Asuramaru?" She asked in that sickly sweet tone.
"Are you going to fan always around about Guren when you come here now? You were a lot to bear to begin with, but this is just stupid even for your standards." Asura said lazily pointing at Mahiru. The girl only smiled at her.
"I guess I'll be for the foreseeable future." Mahiru said with a smile, making Asura's face fall even more. Her right eyebrow twitched a little at this.
'This girl is something else...' She thought. "I'm just saying. One day you might be not looking and I take over your body." Asura said as her black demonic energy flared up behind her. However for some reason Mahiru wasn't distressed at this.
"That might be true." Mahiru said putting a finger to her chin, obviously faking to think about what she was going to say next. "But that will be okay. Guren will simply defeat you and safe me." The lavender haired girl said.
"You sure have a lot of confidence into that guy after... doing it with you." Asura said. Mahiru didn't miss the pause in the demon's voice. "So he took your virginity and you took his or at least he said that you were his first. Really a big deal. Are you going to make it an international holiday now?" Asura said obviously unnerved by her host's behavior. Mahiru's smile was replaced with her mouth forming a thin line as she walked over to Asura. "Mh? What are you up to now?" The bluenette asked, but Mahiru only came closer, before leaning into Asura's face with big curious eyes and a finger on her lips. For Asura that was way too close for comfort.
"Please say that again Asuramaru." Mahiru requested.
"Huh?" Asura asked dumbfounded.
"What you said just now. Say it again."
"I just asked if you were going to make such a fuzz about-"
"No that before that." Mahiru interrupted Asura.
"You mean about him taking your virginity and doing it with you?"
In that moment, Mahiru leaned closer as she read several signals unconsciously given from Asura to Mahiru. Slightly looking away from Mahiru's face, a slight reddening of the cheeks and a voice that betrayed all emotions. Mahiru fell into laughter at this.
"Oi! What's so funny?!" Asura roared.
(Don Orbit: Imagine Luvia laughing in that 'hohoho' style and Rin getting annoyed by it. That pretty much the relationship between these two.)
"You." Mahiru said trying to get a hold on herself. "You are actually a virgin, aren't you?" Asura's entire face reddened to the point where her ears were glowing red as Mahiru laughed even harder. They never have spoken about personal stuff or such things, but Asura had a feeling that she DEFINITELY didn't want to share such personal information with someone with a mischievous persona as this girl. "You really are!" Mahiru laughed even harder.
"Sh-Shut it! What of it if I am?" Asura asked.
"Ne ne Asuramaru. Did you get jealous that you could only see but not feel what I did in my memories? Knowing that you'd never feel such carnal things yourself or never experiencing them in all those years you are older than me?" Mahiru kept going as Asuramaru's bs-meter was overflowing.
"WHAT ABOUT IT HUH?!" Asura yelled at Mahiru. "You may bedded him once, but there are still those other girls that walk around with him all the time. Mito, Sayuri, Shigure, right? What if your so perfect boyfriend will not come to your rescue when he's busy screwing one of them or another girl?" Asura did intent to break Mahiru now. She'd give in her doubts and fears which would make it easy enough to take over her body.
However Mahiru did something Asura had not expected the slightest. She smiled. She smiled that radiant innocent smile, that promised a lot of pain to people like that lecherous boy Norito, who Guren was befriended with for whatever reason.
"Well in that case, I'll have a long and nice 'talk' with Guren of course to clarify a few things." She said.
Asura felt a chill running down her spine by the way she pronounced the word 'talk' in her sing sang voice. She could literally see the dark aura of her future demon form around her, only that it wasn't demonic energy, but more like an expression of all the pain and rage that would be raging within her like a forest fire, if Guren really should step over that line. Asura swore she could hear the wailing of tortured souls in that thing.
"I-I see. No more questions." Asura said. In that moment she realized that Mahiru could become a really violent yandere.
Flashback ends
'Okay I was definitely annoyed by that cow always shoving it into my face with her stupid useless fat lumps called breasts.' Asura thought to herself. 'Though her sister should be at the same age now...' Asura thought as the part of her brain, that was still a teenager, took care of the imagining part, continuing the thought into a certain direction.
'WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YU NAKED! UGH! IT'S MAHIRU ALL OVER AGAIN! DAMN YOU MAHIRU!' She mentally shouted with a bet red face as she couldn't get the picture of the two teens getting intimidate out of her head. Asura gave of only a bit more energy than usual so Seras could only guess what was wrong with her right now. The cursed gear that was Asura's disguise also grew hot due all of this.
Meanwhile, a certain demon in Guren's sword used binoculars to watch Asura from afar and hummed to herself as she sat on the edge of a window, letting her legs hang over the edge. Next to her she had a small notebook with notes scribbled on it about the bluenette vampire.
"Hah~" Mahiru sighed happily. "Even now you are such a great toy Asura." She said, smiling mischievous as ever. Not even being transformed into a vampire, a demon and finally a cursed gear had made her any better of a person. It only made her worse since she has nothing better to do.
TFS Alucard: What the hell was that?
Don Orbit: What was what?
TFS ALUCARD: Why did I only got two parts of screentime? Must we always focus on miss big titty police girl and her little kindergarten show? (Points guns at the author) You better make this right or I'll make sure you won't be writting anything in the next future.
Don Orbit: (sighs) You know, your attitude is really getting on my nerves. I might just drop this story and send Crona or BlackWarGreymon over instead. Perhaps I'll just send even Josuke from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures in that universe.
TFS Alucard: (glares as many red eyes appear on his body) You. Wouldn't. Dare.
Deadpool: More importantly how would that look like?
(Don Orbit, TFS Alucard and Deadpool enter the John Dorian daydream mode.)
BlackWarGreymon: Do you feel no pain? Do you feel no pride? ARE YOU SO STUPID?! RAAAHHH! (throws Black Terra Forces everywhere, destroying Tokyo even more, pulverizing Abbadon and Mirai in the process)

Crazy Diamond: (appears punching the air as it rushes towards Kureto) DORARARARA!
Kureto: (backs away as he fires a lightning bolt at Josuke, kicking up dust, clouding the sight) That was close. (gets punched in the face by the bubblegum colored stand) H-HUH?!
Crazy Diamond: DORARARARARARARARARARARARARARA! (pummeling Kureto's face like a burger patty, knocking out several teeth and making him spit blood) DORAAA! (punches Kureto, launching him into one of those transporters they came to the airport)
Crona: (sits on the ground curled in a ball) I don't know how to deal with this.
(Daydream mode disabled)
Don Orbit: Did we all just imagine all of them being there at the same time?
Deadpool and Alucard: (nod)
Don Orbit: Well thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Nosferatu of Extinction. I''m really sorry for the big delay here. Life really can be troublesome. And with that have a nice day...

Don Orbit: D-DIO!?
Deadpool: The guy with the same anime voice as me! (hops around excited like a little child on christmas eve, before turning to the readers) Yup we really should have involved him into that dream sequence.
TFS Alucard: So that guy's here. Big deal.
Dio: Ho? So you think you could beat me, Dio? (The World materializes behind him)
TFS Alucard: Oh is that your boyfriend? That's adora- (suddenly his body was full of knives as he fell backwards) SHIT! Ow ow ow ow!
