In all honesty I didn't even realize I had used Underworld names. And I think a family full of little Alucard's would be adorable but you really couldn't take them anywhere. So just to be on the safe side: I don't own Underworld or Dracula: Prince of many faces. Also I added translation at the end of last chapter I forgot to. Sorry.
Ryan was bored, with Ari gone he had no one to bug besides Integra. Cole hadn't really been showing himself to the ginger for fear of getting maimed. Grinning the redhead inhaled the last of his cigarette before snuffing it out. Rolling away from his monitor the teen sighed. There really was nothing to do around here, maybe he could get Integra to finally go on that date. Running a hand through his hair to try and tame it he pushed to his feet smoothing his shirt down. Luckily Ari had talked him into buying casual dress clothes if only for the knight's sake. He had to admit the green button down and jeans did look much better than a plain old T. Shuffling along the halls of the manor he grinned, if his flower did agree to a date he'd make sure she never forgot it. Easing the door open the ginger waved stepping in when Integra looked up from her paper work. "Yo?" Setting her papers down Integra sighed.
"Yes Ryan what do you need?" Smirking the redhead leaned on her desk crossing his arms.
"Nothing really, my flower. I was only wonderin' if you remembered that date you said you'd go on with me. Today's the day you fall for my devilish charm." Rolling stormy blue eyes the knight set back.
"I've worked with Alucard for nine years. I'm about tired of devilish charm." Scratching his cheek the hacker groaned.
"Of course, that fanger has to show everyone up." Standing Integra wished she wasn't so honorable, but she had agreed to go one on date. Watching her walk around the desk to frown at him the ginger laughed seeing her check to make sure she had her cigars, no doubt she'd need them.
"One date, that's all you're getting." Whooping he held the door open for her.
"Whatever the lady says. Grab your coat dear."
Half an hour later they stood just outside the archway that marked the entrance to the park. Walter shook his head before driving off planning on waiting for them on the other side. Wrapping an arm around waist the redhead laughed, she was just too cute when she pretended not to blush. Shoving the male away the lady knight scowled. "Why are we at the park?" Looping his arm around hers he tugged her along.
"Arz suggested it. She's a die-hard romantic at heart, just hates to admit it." He shrugged leading Integra over to a bench. "'Sides I wanted to show you how us poor folk have fun." Watching a group of kids start a snow ball fight she smiled almost wishing her childhood had been that carefree. What was she saying she was proud to be a Hellsing, nothing would change that.
"Fun. I can almost remember what that is." Leaning down Ryan scooped some snow into his hands rounding it before holding it in front of the knight.
"Ya know you're only 3 years older than me, you can act your age sometimes." Taking the ball she sighed tossing it up and down in her hand. Giving a nearly unnoticeable shrug she tossed it at the tree in front of them clipping a branch covered in snow. The poor kids under that branch never saw it coming. Loudly protesting they glared over at the couple, to which Integra glared right back making a shiver run down the young one's spines. Ryan on the other hand laughed wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "That was funny! I need to take you places more often." Crossing her arms the heir eyed her stomach when it growled as Ryan snickered. So she hadn't eaten breakfast, she'd had more important work to do. Glancing around the ginger spotted what he was looking for. "Wait here, I'll go get us a hotdog." Watching him go Integra smiled to herself. So he wasn't prince charming but he was exciting to be around and he was genuine. Sitting back down beside her the teen smirked. "I'm sorry my flower, they don't serve shrimp here." Grabbing the dog she grimaced taking a bite.
"Oh shut up." Waiting for her to finish Ryan checked his watch. It was still a couple hours before their reservations meaning them had time to waste.
"Do you know how to ice skate Integra?" Raising a blond eyebrow she nodded. Great… That meant he was going to make a fool of himself in front of her, wonderful.
Leisurely following behind Ryan in the ice rink the knight smirked watching him flail around trying to keep his balance. Seeing him lean to far forward she laughed when he landed stilling sliding on the ice on his face. Helping the poor male up the Hellsing pulled him over to the rail, lighting a cigar she watched him shuffle along muttering just about every curse word in the book. "If you knew you couldn't skate why did you suggest this?" Wobbling some he turned to look at her.
"I was hoping you'd have some fun." Truthfully Integra had already skated around the floor 10 times they were just waiting for him to make it to an exit to leave. Seeing his way out only feet ahead the ginger sighed finally pulling the accursed blades off his feet. Safely back in his own shoes again the redhead smiled taking the knight's skates as well. Watching him go she rolled her eyes, if that limp was anything to go by he'd hurt himself that last fall. Still she appreciated to effort he was making, she'd had fun but tomorrow it was back to business.
Tossing and turning Ari growled sitting up on the giant bed. After two hours of fitful dozing she was fed up with it. Checking to make sure Vladimir was still where he was when she went to sleep she pushed the covers back smoothing her black silk night gown down, heaven knows how the fanger had replaced the sleep wear she'd originally pack. Making her way down the steps she paused beside Alucard's coffin. Debating whether or not to wake him she sighed, if he didn't like it oh well. Pushing the lid up it slid to the side, staring down at the peaceful face of the No-Life-King the girl smiled. Placing a hand on his chest she shook him having to wait a moment before a crimson eye cracked open. Resting her hands on her hips she pouted. "What are you doing in this box? I thought you said you didn't have to sleep in there." Sitting up he blinked sleepily.
"You are upset; I thought it best if I slept within my coffin." Taking his hand she shook her head pulling him up to the bed as the coffin closed.
"You big dummy. It doesn't matter if I'm mad or not, you can still sleep here. It's your bed, now come on." Crawling over to her side Ari waited for him to slide in beside her screeching when his clothes disappeared to be replaced with the cotton pajamas she had teasingly given him with little chibi bats. Pulling her back against him he chuckled as she wiggled around. Finally getting comfortable on his cool chest she grinned sleepily up at him. "You know I gave you those as a joke right? You don't really have to wear them." Grinning the vampire bared his fangs patting her head.
"Yes but they do have their advantages right now." Sticking her tongue out the teen squeaked when Alucard caught it. "If you do that again I will find a better use for it." Narrowing her eyes the girl glared up at his glowing orbs.
"Cahn weh phease justa sheepa?" Pouting the nightwalker let go.
"You're no fun when you're tired." Yawning she closed her eyes letting his faint heartbeat lull her to sleep.
Trying to hide a yawn behind her book Ari snapped her mouth shut when a blond vampire glared at her from his place at the oval table a few feet in front of her. From the way Amelia was sticking to his side like glue the teen could only guess that he was Viktor. The girl really didn't see why her yawning was such a big deal they were the only 3 people in the room so far. Wiggling her fingers at the brunette vampiress she smiled. The meeting wasn't even do start for another 10 minutes. Focusing back on her book she failed to sense the dark aura behind her.
Smirking down at his little Mate Alucard traced a finger over the back of her chair, yelping as her seat disappeared from under her the silver eyed female landed on her back staring up at the towering Nosferatu. Letting out a long sigh she held out her hand so he could pull her up. "Good evening, my love." Giving a lop sided grin his way Ari looked around for her book which she had thrown flailing her arms around. Levitating the book to where he could see it the No-Life-King raised an eyebrow. "Dracula: Prince of many faces." Blushing she snatched the book from midair marking her place and tossed it into her chair.
"You try finding a book that doesn't have your face or name on it in town. Though you're bat shit crazy you're still one of Romania's most celebrated rulers." Blinking she gulped as a semi deep growl echoed around the room looking over her shoulder the teen blanched locking eyes with a furious dirty-blond vampire that had only caught the tail end of her sentence.
"Show proper respect for lord Alucard, human." Drawing a blank Ari fumbled for words.
"B-But he made me land on my ass." Cracking his knuckles the blue eyed vampire stepped forward.
"It's where you belong human. Now bow." Blinking the girl frowned crossing her arms.
"Pardon me? I don't care if you are an elder I'm not bowing, nor should I have to. I have just as much right to be here as you do." Jerking her thumb towards the cackling vampire behind her she wrinkled her nose. "If I don't back down from him I'm really not backing down from you, so get over it Aussie." The Australian nightwalker snarled as a little flame poofed into existence in his hand. Recognizing the danger Ari slipped a hand behind her looping a finger around her gun handle. Stocking forward Alucard blocked his Mate from view drowning the smaller vampire's growl out with his own, although he was proud she was aware of her surrounding she wasn't up to taking on an elite true undead just yet, maybe after a few more years of training.
"That is enough Klaus. Artemis is correct, as my destined she has more right than anyone to be here. Now take your seat before I lose my temper." Grumbling he did so. A feminine giggle sound from the hall before the pair of double doors drifted open as two bloodsuckers glided in. Taking in the brunette hair and brown eyes Ari gasped.
"Holy Hell Elizabeth Báthory." Grinning the lady moved to her seat.
"Indeed. It is nice to know you've finally found what you were looking for lord Alucard." Nodding the raven haired vampire took his seat at the head of the table pulling Ari onto his seat on his left.
"Mosi how have things been in Africa?" Taking his seat the ebony skinned undead considered the question.
"They are looking up for now." Jumping when Mihnea suddenly materialized in the seat on Alucard's right the teen let her head drop on the table with a thud. Between the two Draculs Ari was going to have a heart attack soon. Grinning the younger one ruffled her hair winking.
"Sorry Ari, I assumed father did that all the time." Lifting her head to peek through her fringe she smiled.
"Oh he does but it still scares the crap outta me."
And so the meeting starts and they talk about all the vampire political BS. I've been on a vampire knight marathon and I can tell ya I hate any kind of politics so I'm skipping. Reviews welcome!
