My Fairytale
Sesshy's Mistress
Summary: What if the Prince didn't save the Princess? What would happen to her? What if the happy ending didn't end so happily after all? What if evil won? What if happy endings really only happened in a child's dream? What if . . .
Disclaimer: I do not own the Sailor Moon or Hellsing series nor do I own the characters from within their respective animes. I do, however, own this idea for a crossover and Keane.

…
The steady rhythm of Alucard's footsteps echoed throughout the empty hallways. Moonlight highlighted his form with each window he passed, but he paid the sphere no attention. Alucard had just left from an interesting conversation with Walter. He was pleasantly surprised to find the English man agreed – Hellsing could not sit by and allow the 13th Chapter or anyone else attempt to solve the issue. They would fail, just as they had in the past. In order to eliminate the threat, the past would have to be repeated. Alucard, and possibly Walter and Cosmos, would be sent to South Africa to squash out the rebellious Nazi supporters.
At the thought of the lone warrior, Alucard stopped before one of the windows and turned to stare out at the Hellsing grounds. His Master, Integra, had retired early, leaving him to his own devices for the night. Glowing red eyes easily caught sight of the silver uniform bathed around the darkness of the night. Had it not been for the moon that seemed to make her glow, she would be entirely cloaked in the shadows of darkness.
A feral grin slid over Alucard's features before he called his element and disappeared into the very shadows around him.
…
Cosmos sighed for the up-tenth time. Her thin fingers clenched tightly around the clip board in her hands. Already pale skin turned whiter around her knuckles, and the plastic of the clip board threatened to break.
Why couldn't men follow simple directions?
Why did they have to be so dense?
Better yet, why was she the one stuck with this job?
Oh, that's right, Walter was busy preparing their new weapons and Alucard would probably massacre them before giving thought to anything else. And Integra, well, no one deserved that fate. Cosmos blew out a long breath, letting it blow some of her bangs out of her eyes.
"Try again," she ordered in a very bored tone. Tired eyes watched as the men grumbled louder, complaining about being trained by a – they never had a chance to finish with their sentence. Cosmos, as per habit now, ignited one of Mar's powers. Instead of using the phoenix, which she thought was getting kind of old, she summoned the flames in the form of a large serpent. It readily moved to fulfill her command – scare the boys shitless.
"Now, I believe I told you to try again," She said with a strained smile. They had been going at this training for the past eight hours, non stop. Integra had demanded that Cosmos assist them in their training. At first, Cosmos was confused. She had absolutely no "gun-smarts", as Pip called them. It wasn't until she stepped out onto the field that she understood the reasoning behind Integra's decision.
Cosmos, unlike normal humans, had enhanced abilities, and given her powers, she could easily bring the targets to a more realistic setting. She could help them physically train, make them stronger and faster. So they break a few bones here and there, suffer a burn or two, and are forever scared until the day they die. No pain no gain!
The boys set up their guns for another round, and Cosmos sent a prayer to Selene, begging her to make this night end. Taking a deep breath, she planned to summon another attack, but stopped short. Stronger….
A memory flashed into her mind, one of the last she had with her friends during a battle. Rubeus' smirking face came to the front of her mind and that annoying laughter of his echoed through her mind.
"Actually," Cosmos interrupted while moving to stand in front of the line up. All the men quickly averted their guns, making sure they were not pointed towards her. "I have a different idea for our last exercise. If," Cosmos stressed, "-IF you can complete this, you can go on to bed and I'll take the punishment from Integra."
The men whispered among themselves. After weighing their options, they chose to take what Cosmos offered. She smiled softly, hoping her eagerness wasn't showing too much. This would be fun. Now, all she had to do was figure out how to do it. Rubeus had a machine that altered the gravitational pull. To stall, she ordered the men to form as tight of a circle as they could. Confused but willing, the men did as told.
From nearby, Alucard's form took shape as he stepped free of the shadows that licked at his body greedily. His blood red eyes watched from a distance, curious and excited to know what she had planned.
In the time it took the Wild Geese to get organized, Cosmos figured out her plan. In order to manipulate the force of gravity, she would have to call on the powers of earth. Closing her eyes, she thought of Endymion and his essence, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter. Cosmos twirled her staff in her hand before throwing out her arm and allowing her had to slide up towards the tip of it. With the bottom tip, she outlined a circle around the men, praying to the elements of her friends to do her bidding.
Pip wasn't sure about the rest of the boys, but he wasn't sure whether or not this pretty lady had few screws loose or what. He began to joke with the other guys who began to taunt the warrior, but not Pip. He had learned his lesson there.
Surprisingly, she said nothing, only closed the circle. Just like that, everything changed and every man found himself kissing the pavement. Curses in many different languages flew up as they all tried to stand, get up, or even move. Nothing they did worked; it felt as if a heavy weight was placed on their backs.
"What did you do?" Pip demanded while biting his cigarette in two.
"I've never tried it before, but I manipulated the earth's gravitational pull around the area in which you all were gathered. This," Cosmos moved to point her heeled toes at the line she had just made around them, "is where you need to cross to reach a normal level. If you can't make it out, you'll be stuck there until you can."
"You're crazy!" One guy gasped out, "No one can stand up to this."
Cosmos 'tsked' the man before stepping over the line and into the circle. She remained unaffected by the change in gravity. "I've managed in worse. This exercise will help you to train your body to withstand circumstances outside the norm that you have become so relaxed with. If you do not try, you will die. Ghouls and Demons are not like humans who are simply crazed, greedy, or just plain stupid. Humans have a major flaw in their construction. In the time it takes your brain to send synapses down to the proper nerve endings, you could be dead!" Cosmos snapped her fingers to prove her point. "It's a costly delay. This will help to lessen that delay and enhance your abilities far beyond that of a normal human."
As she spoke, Cosmos walked around the feet of the men, lecturing them as a teacher would. "You're in a pull hardly greater than the natural level for this planet. Once each of you has succeeded in moving from this simple level, I'll up the ante, as they say. Too much stress could have …unpleasant results," She left off eerily before hopping out of the circle and waving goodbye. "See you boys tomorrow morning!"
Cosmos only managed to take a few small steps before she was greeted with the towering sight of Alucard. The shadows that the light of the moon cast were wrapping around his form, rubbing against him in an intimate fashion. Try as she might to ignore his presence, she couldn't. No, the fates were not kind. Alucard followed a footstep behind her until she came to her room. Only then did she turn to face the Vampire just to have her nose bump into the steel wall that was his chest. Taking a step back, she bumped into her door.
Alucard smirked as he leaned down to level with her. Her silver orbs were tired but observant. She was waiting for him to try something. As much as he'd love to play with her, he had important matters to attend to.
"We're leaving for South America tomorrow," he said as if he were telling her the weather for the next day; it left her flabbergasted. By the time she recovered from the surprise, he had disappeared the way he had come, leaving Cosmos to stumble into her room and collapse on her bed.
"South America?" Cosmos sat up once what he said fully set into her tired and over worked (thanks to annoying and 'know-it-all-Wild Geese' men) brain.
…
"Is everything ready for transport?" Integra questioned Walter who was dutifully following behind his leader's footsteps.
"Um, about that…" Walter's voice held an edge of unease as his eyes looked ahead of Integra's form and towards a large set of wooden double doors.
Integra ignored the unusual reaction and merely pushed open the door that would lead her to the room which held the Wild Geese, Cosmos, and Alucard. What she didn't expect to see was the Wild Geese surrounding her and Alucard in a large circle. Integra could mostly make out Alucard, and, if it had not been for her weird hairstyle, she might have missed Cosmos' form.
"Vampires aren't supposed to be able to cross running water! Haven't you read Dracula?" Though she didn't voice it, Integra agreed with her slightly. There were many myths about Vampires that she had yet to explore to find if they were truth or not.
"Ahem," Walter coughed, drawing the attention of everyone but Alucard and Cosmos. Alucard was far too amused with the fuming woman and she was far too engrossed listing off the 'facts' she had learned in the book, Dracula.
Brushing off their lack of attention, Integra turned her gaze to the Wild Geese. She was more than a little surprised to notice that they were not fully awake and seemed to be slightly disoriented. "What's wrong, soldiers?"
Pip snorted and jerked his head in the direction of Cosmos, "You might want to investigate the methods of the people working for you." This only seemed to confused Integra more, causing her to turn to Walter for a clearer answer.
"It would seem that Ms. Cosmos' training methods are a bit on the extreme side," Walter answered as a sweat drop formed. His hands were well hidden behind his back, allowing him to writhe them nervously without it being seen.
"How so?" Integra questioned but this time it was directed towards Cosmos. The silver headed warrior had yet to learn she was being spoken to and continued to argue with Alucard.
"Cosmos," Integra growled. Still no response. "COSMOS!" This time, Cosmos turned to face her.
"Yes?"
"How are my men expected to perform at peak efficiency when they come back from a training session with you looking like this?" Integra waved a hand over towards Pip, using him as an example since he was the leader of the Wild Geese.
Cosmos turned her head to look Pip over, trying to pick out the differences of which Integra hinted at. "I'm sorry but I'm not responsible for them. They came to me looking like that. All I did was give them an opportunity to further enhance their abilities past the norm for an average human. If they plan to survive what we're fighting, they need to be trained in circumstances similar to what it is like to face our enemies, only more controlled."
Once again, Integra was surprised at her answer, but shook it off and questioned her again, "What exactly did you do then?"
"I manipulated the earth's gravitational pull around the area in which they gathered, giving them an opportunity to strengthen their body, mind, and resolve." Cosmos turned fully to Integra, placing her free hand on her hip and shrugging her shoulders.
"You did what?" Walter and Integra questioned together in shock.
"I guess I'll just have to show you. Are there any volunteers?" Cosmos looked around but most of the men had made a dash for the door. Had it not been for Alucard suddenly appearing in their path, they might have made it out and to freedom.
Cosmos searched out the many heads for a certain long braid. She wasn't one to hold a grudge, but… "Pip, would you be so kind?" She plastered a sugary sweet smile over her face while lifting a finger and motioning him to come forward. When he didn't, she sighed and used Venus' Love Me Chain to lasso and pull the 'volunteer' closer. She planted him in a chair and proceeded to do as she explained.
Integra and Walter watched fascinated as a strain was placed over Pip. The sturdy, wooden chair groaned underneath the force that was pressing down upon it, but it still held.
"Can you stand?" Cosmos questioned while stepping aside and waving Integra and Walter over. The two came closer and watched as Pip struggled to move his arms; it took a full thirty minutes for him to get them into position so that he could try to push himself up. Integra spit out the used up cigar and reached out to grab and pull Pip from the chair. This display was becoming rather tiresome and ridiculous. Just when her hand was going to be parallel with Pip's feet, Cosmos spoke up, "I wouldn't do that, Sir Integra."
Integra didn't listen; she continued to reach forward until she found her body being pulled to the floor. Her hand hit first, making a very loud smack sound through the room. Thankfully, her knees saved her from hitting the floor face first.
Cosmos shook her head but released the power that was used to manipulate the gravity. Pip, not expecting this, ended up toppling over Integra, landing face first at Walter's feet. Cosmos could hardly restrain the giggle as she helped Integra to stand.
"When you return, I expect a full explanation as to the purpose of that display!" Integra was shook up and it showed. How many beings were out there like Cosmos and Alucard with powers such as the ones they controlled?
Cosmos was confused but nodded her ascent. Anything to get this trip over with before it even began, "I only have one question."
"What's that?" Integra asked while trying to brush off the slight fear she felt from Cosmos' display. How could humans add up to something like htat?
"How are we going to get that through customs?" Cosmos pointed towards Alucard's coffin which was being wrapped in a large cloth. Integra nearly dropped the new cigar from her mouth. She had a point.
"There is no customs," Walter supplied and both women turned to him, giving him questioning looks. Pip was the one who had mercy on the two.
"It's a smuggling ship. We've used them for years. So long as they guy's are paid, they're trustworthy; it'll also solve your passport problems, sweetheart." Cosmos' eye twitched at the name, but decided to ignore it for the time being.
"We have to send the weapons as well," Alucard added from behind the two. "Both my coffin and the weapons will arrive with the ship while we fly to our destination." Cosmos didn't turn to face him, but Integra did and she took note of his change of appearance.
"You're dressed differently," She spoke without any hint of emotion. "Isn't sunlight supposed to harm vampires?" Cosmos silently agreed with that. Every since she learned of how and who she was traveling with, she tried to pry the answer from him. She failed.
"There was no way I could board a plane looking like that," Alucard shot Cosmos a look, almost as if sensing her inner anger that simmered just under the surface. There were other ways of playing with her, she just hadn't figured out he knew yet. "And I will be walking around in public. Besides, for me, sunlight is not fatal, just a nuisance."
Integra nodded and turned to Cosmos, "Are you prepared to leave?" She gave the other woman a look over, there was nothing approving in her glance.
Cosmos chose to ignore that as well. Without answering her first, she called upon her Luna Pen powers, successfully changing her appearance to match that of Alucard. She wore a dress suit of pearl white with a pearl blue undershirt. Her hair was piled in an intricate bun and pony tail atop her head. Her outfit was complimented with a pair of fashionable faux glasses that gave her a professional look. Her feet were slipped into a pair of white heels similar to the ones of her Cosmos outfit and a fashionable purse was resting under her arm. In her other hand, her staff hand, was a clipboard.
"Better?"
…
Cosmos, better known as Serenity in her power down form, felt sorry for them men who were forced to haul in the large and certainly heavy luggage. She wished she could assist them, but she had a part to play. So, she continued to keep step with Alucard, though she wished she could have stayed back in England.
Her flight had been anything but pleasant, and the strain from it was starting to wane on her. Unfortunately, Alucard had decided to sit next to her on the plane and in the limo. Even though they were on the same side, she still didn't feel comfortable enough to sleep around him. Nope, not at all.
"This way! This way!" Several men ordered while they moved into the large building. The hotel in which Hellsing was providing for them was rather beautiful. High priced, obviously, but beautiful. Serenity didn't take too long to admire her surroundings, she needed to focus.
"E-excuse me," She turned her gaze to take note of a fair haired man who seemed to be rather unsure of himself at the moment. "Sir…Ma'am…For luggage that l-large…" The poor man seemed unable to finish his sentence, especially when Alucard graced him with his attention.
"Which floor are ya'll on?" Pip questioned the two. Alucard answered without turning to face the man. "Hey, over here," Pip called to the bell hops. "He says it's on the top floor."
"Um… Sir," The man behind the desk tried again. "The l-luggage…"
"There's no problem," Alucard answered while watching the men take his coffin away. He listened as the familiar click of heels made their way closer. When he turned his attention to the man behind the desk, he found, to his annoyance, Serenity talking with the boy. The desk clerk's stuttering was only becoming worse with her presence near him, and the boy looked like a ripe tomato in the face. Alucard snorted and walked to her side, standing so close to her it seemed like he was trying to smoother her.
"It's my fault really, but I'm sure a nice fellow like you knows how us women are about our clothes, shoes, and make up," Serenity smiled softly towards the man, hoping to spare him any confrontation from Alucard. Unfortunately, nothing nor nobody seemed to be on her side. Just as the man opened his mouth to stutter out an argument. Alucard leaned over her form, pressing a finger to the man's forehead.
"There is no problem," he spoke while gazing into the man's eyes. Serenity turned her head back, noticing Alucard had removed his glasses and his eyes seemed somewhat normal, just somewhat. She moved her attention back to the clerk. The man's eyes were dilated and a look of complete relaxation took over his form.
"No problem," the man spoke in a daze.
"No problem at all?" Alucard questioned.
"No problem at all, sir," the clerk responded before shaking out of the daze and appearing to be quite normal once again.
Alucard wrapped his arm around Serenity's waist, making her turn with him and leading her towards the elevator, "Let's go, hurry up and bring it up." Serenity tried to slip from his grip but he wouldn't allow it. She would have to talk with him about messing with someone's mind like he just had.
"What did you just do?" Pip demanded while shooting unbelievable glances between Alucard and the clerk. "Magic?"
"I didn't do anything. Is there a problem with transporting everything?" Alucard questioned while ignoring the indignant huff from the woman held at his side. He was enjoying this game with her.
"More like everything is running too smoothly," Pip spoke while shifting his cigarette from one corner of his mouth to the other.
"I agree," Serenity spoke softly while taking quick glances around the lounge area. Her gaze settled on two men who she had caught staring at them quite often. She wasn't sure, but she had a bad feeling about them.
"Really?" Alucard chuckled but ignored the curiosity radiating off of his two traveling companions. Instead, he pulled Serenity along to the elevators, quickly entering one along with Pip.
…
"Red glove to white sock," one of the two men spoke into a small device hidden within his suit. "The guests have entered, I repeat, the guests have entered."
…
"THIS IS SO NOT FAIR! I HAVE TO STAY IN SOME CHEAP HOTEL ROOM AND YOU TWO GET ALL THIS?" Pip cried out in righteous fury. Serenity, who had been standing beside him, winced and rubbed at her ears. She only hoped she hadn't lost most of her hearing with that outburst.
"THIS IS SO MESSED UP," he continued his tirade.
"I agree," Serenity nodded while stepping away in hopes of saving her eardrums from anymore permanent damage. "I remember specifically requesting a separate room." She spoke while walking around and admiring the beauty that the suite offered.
As she passed a coffee table, a note caught her eye. Picking it up, she pulled out a greeting card; it was addressed to Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Blenner. All other text went unread as her gaze focused solely on who it was addressed to.
Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Blenner.
"Who is J.H. Blenner?" Serenity questioned, hoping against everything that it was all a mix up.
"It is one of the names I go by when traveling under Hellsing orders," Alucard answered while walking to her. His long fingers easily picked the card from her grip, not that it was much of a problem. She had become rather lax in her posture. After reading the card, he was not surprised.
Pip, ever so curious, came and read the note too. He could not hold back the bout of laughter that escaped him after reading it and seeing her reaction. "No wonder you never warmed up to me, sweetheart."
Sensing her anger was coming to a boiling point, Alucard tossed the card back atop the coffee table and walked towards the two pieces of luggage. He grabbed for the cover of the shorter, but longer one. Ripping it off, he freed the sleek, black coffin from it's covering.
He was vaguely aware of the sound of wood splintering; it would appear that Hellsing would be paying for some new but broken furniture for this trip. At least it was not he who was the cause, yet.
A very disgruntled Pip with splintered wood on his person appeared next to Alucard, taking in the sight of the coffin. "So that's your coffin, huh?"
"This is my final domain – born and died here," Alucard spoke while running his hand over the smooth surface. His fingers traced the words embedded into the item.
"We start the investigation tomorrow," Pip changed the subject. "I'll come pick you and the Missus up sometime tomorrow evening. Night is better, right?" A loud shriek of outrage came from another room, drawing both of the men's attention to the fact that Serenity had moved on with her tour.
"You should look forward to this more," Alucard spoke without answering Pip's initial question. "Thing's are going to be interesting. Fun."
"Huh?"
Alucard had no need to answer due to the fact that several military helicopters had appeared outside the suite window. Men in sniper uniforms could be seen aiming their guns directly towards the area that Pip and Alucard were standing in. Pip, who was definitely not immortal or indestructible, duct out of the firing range just as the men opened fire. Bullets rained into the room, shattering glass and destroying furniture.
Now Alucard was responsible for the mess…
…
…
So, yeah, an update :) Be thankful, times are rough for me right now. VERY rough. You have my supposed friend to thank for this. She managed to piss and stress me off enough to make me turn to my writing. You think you know someone, but, honestly, you don't, especially when money comes into the picture.
*shrug* Don't ask, just know I have a lot on my hands at the moment, a lot lot lot!
I do hope you enjoyed this and I look forward to any and all feedback I receive!
