HELLSING WITCH HUNTER:1616

Chapter 14: The Talk (not that crappy CBS show) Among Demons
Author's Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing
When you are a demon used to running free and ruling with terror, but now confined to a sword, seven months seems like a long time. However to the three abysmal demons Alucard, Byakko and Bahamut, the last seven months seemed to fly by. Byakko and Bahamut seemed content with their current situation.
"I don't see it changing anytime soon and I kind of like it. Seras is a refreshing drink of water, though there are some things I do not understand about her" Bahamut mused.
"Of course not, you're not a female. That and all our former masters were men" replied Byakko.
"Seras has proven to be stronger than my previous masters."
"So has Samielle, perverted, but still strong. Of course there were not many to choose from, due to Whitehall killing everyone."
"And they call us demons."
"Do you believe that our masters will remain strong?"
"What do you mean?"
"All of our previous masters have sealed us away and chosen to do other things with their lives, meaning they have become weak. Will these do the same?"
"My master will NEVER become like her predecessors" declared Alucard.
"Ah, Alucard, we were wondering when you would join us" purred Byakko.
"Yes, you spent the most of the night watching Integra sleep."
"That's because she looks beautiful when she is asleep."
"You see Bahamut? I told you he was in love and you didn't believe me."
"I thought you were joking."
Byakko shook her head; "The poor fool's in love with a human."
"Integra is not just any human. She is unlike any other women I've known."
"Wait for it…" said Bahamut.
"And I have been with plenty of women."
"I knew he was going to say that!"
The white tiger just sighed and rolled her eyes, while Alucard continued; "I will make Integra my queen. We will be equals and lovers." The wyvern laughed out loud; "I want to be there when you ask her that, Alucard."
"If I had money to bet, I'd bet she would say no."
Alucard left the room in a huff, they would never understand, they didn't have Integra as their master. He went back to her bedroom and scowled at the sight that wasn't there earlier. Apparently Schrodinger, frightened by the thunder storm that raged outside the manor, had crawled into bed with his adopted mother, who wrapped a protective arm around him. Alucard let out growl of disgust and left the room, he never liked that cat-boy. Why did Integra have to adopt him? Bahamut and Byakko saw the scowl on Alucard's face and knew immediately what had put it there.
"If I didn't know better, I would say that Alucard is jealous of Schrodinger" laughed the wyvern.
"I am NOT jealous of the little brat" snarled Alucard.
"Yes, you are. The only guy Integra pays attention to is Schrodinger."
"Integra is a human; she would never have feelings for a demon."
"I will turn her into a demon; she would make an exquisite demon queen."
"I highly doubt that she would become a demon; she has too much sense of responsibility."
"I'm sure once she sees what I can offer her, Integra will agree."
"Fine, ask her tomorrow" smirked the wyvern. "I'm dying to see her reject you, Alucard."
"Save yourself the embarrassment and be glad, she doesn't seal you up, the way her father her did" sighed the white tiger.
"I'll tell her tomorrow and you two will see that you are wrong."
The next day after another successful hunt, Alucard said; "Master, I have something very important to tell you."
"What is it? And make it quick."
"I love you and I want to make you my queen."
Everyone in the office was still. Yes we have a bunch of nosy people in there. Bahamut and Byakko had told their respective masters that Alucard had something to tell Integra and that they would want to be there when he told her. So they lingered in the office in pretence of interest of the report that was supposed to be sent to the king. Both butlers Walter and Philip were also present. Walter always bought Integra a cup of tea after hunts because they were stressful affairs. Philip was there to give Integra an inventory report and a list of things that needed to be ordered. And Schrodinger was there because he was Schrodinger and somehow found out about Alucard's crush on his mom. He really wanted to be there to see what would happen. So with two other demons and a host of people watching, Alucard made his proposal. So you can imagine the looks on everyone's faces, especially Integra's face which was more disgust than shock. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND!?" Not the reaction one expects when they propose or tell someone they love them.
"I can turn you into a powerful demon and we can rule together as king and queen. Partners. Lovers. All you have to do is unseal me."
"And just who the hell do you think you're talking to? What makes you think that I would want to give up everything I have worked for, just to roam the earth mindlessly killing people?"
"You could be a queen."
"I don't want to be a queen, you godless demon! You had better get that silly notion out of your head! The only thing you are to me is a tool, one that I can use whenever and however I see fit! My life is my responsibility to my king; which certainly isn't you, and to protecting my country!"
Alucard was not expecting that rant, he had thought that she might at least have thought it over. What made this worse was that now Schrodinger was laughing out loud to this, while Integra merely sipped her tea as if nothing was happening. He gave a nasty growl and disappeared into the sword. Later that night when everyone was asleep, the demons met again for their nightly chat.
"I'm assuming that was not what you expected, Alucard" stated Byakko.
"It was very hilarious, however I thought she would be shocked, but pissed, that was amusing" laughed Bahamut.
"You find this funny?" snarled Alucard.
"It's why I am laughing."
"Have some kind of sympathy, Bahamut."
"She flat out told him to take his love and shove it. What is not funny about that, Byakko?"
"THIS IS NOT FUNNY!"
The wyvern however was not listening and still chuckled to himself.
"Why wouldn't she love me?" Alucard mused to himself.
"Yeah, you're a looker, you got brains and you're great in bed!" said Bahamut before howling with laughter again.
"That is not nice, Bahamut" sighed Byakko.
Alucard the left the room, deciding to look for Integra, maybe watching her sleep would ease his mind and since there was no thunderstorm, Schrodinger would not be there. As usual she looked magnificent in sleep. He had to admit, now that he thought about it, he was glad she had refused. This showed him how strong she truly was. That Integra was not going to accept the first deal on the table, she would accept if the terms suited her. She was playing hard to get, this made Alucard love her even more. Integra was even more beautiful! Alucard decided to share this new found information to his compatriots. Byakko could only look at the vampire demon with pity. Bahamut decided that this was another joke and laugh; "You know Alucard, you should be a comedian."
"And you bloody demonic assholes, should shut the hell up! Do you know what time it is?!"
The three demons turned to face a very angry Integra; "Do you idiots do this EVERY night?"
"It's Alucard's fault, he keeps telling the most hilarious of jokes, Sir Integra" chuckled Bahamut before disappearing. Byakko said nothing and just left, leaving Alucard and Integra alone together.
"Master, I was not telling jokes, as that overgrown newt implied"
"So, what were you saying that was so humorous?"
"Nothing. I was just wandering about your reaction to my proposal."
"Proposal? If that was a proposal, it's no wonder I'm never getting married."
"I will convince you to become my queen."
"Yes and I will become a Catholic and dye my hair blue."
"You are just playing hard to get."
At this Integra laughed; "Bahamut was right, you should be a comedian. Although a circus clown suits you more. Now shut up and let me sleep!"
"Good night my queen."
Integra just rolled her eyes. She really hoped that this was some phase that Alucard was going through. She already had to get used to him watching her while she slept, but this was a whole new mess. Besides when did demons started falling in love anyway? Integra did not need a horny demon while she was trying to do her duty to her country. And if Alucard was going to propose, he would have to a lot better than that, a lady can't give her best rejections to a proposal so half-assed.
