Velos

Rania walked beside Alucard into the Consulate going towards her office. The door was ajar and voices floated out. Rania looked at Alucard who was smiling. Opening the door, Rania found Intergra, Seras, and Walter awaiting her. Intergra was smoking one of her cigars while Walter poured tea for them. Rania spoke.

"You made good time, Intergra. I am hoping your news is good. What did you find out about the mysterious happenings on Planet Earth ( For reference, I am making the Naruto and Velos worlds on a different planet for another fic I intend to write)?" Rania asked. Intergra frowned. Her glasses hid her eyes. Walter had brought over the cups for tea. Intergra spoke.

"I wish it were good news. All sources point to a dark power causing all this mystery. The power is growing daily and seeks out the strongest warriors to supplement their power. Sources also indicate that there are warrioes to match this darkness. I believe that they are not aware of this growing power of darkness. It will be awhile before the darkness has enough power to collect warriors for its cause. Now, I see that you have brought your cousins here? Trouble in Konoha?" Intergra asked, blue eyes locked on blue red. Rania looked at Intergra. Of all the people who had been thrown out of their own worlds, Intergra was the least deserving of banishment. She kept vampires and ghouls at bay for years until a foolish noble brought her up on witchcraft charges and had her banished. She gathered her friends and allies and fled. She wandered for years before meeting Rania and finding a new purpose.

"ROOT's leader Danzo was able to get my cousins banished and placed a large bounty on their heads. Galen co tacted them about talks of pwace but I think that they will go for war. Danzo is oneof Moran's followers. That alone makes him dangerous. I sent a small group to inquire about the ones that will meet for the talks and expect them back today. I belueve the answer will be to capture or kill the Consul, causing war. If it is a meeting of leaders, Orochimaru as wellas a follower, Kabuto, will be there. I will be going personally if Galen goes." Rania said, looking at Alucard. Alucard's face had taken on a terrifying look. Seras, who had been standing beside him, held onto him. Walter too held still.

"I will kill that man for his crimes." Alucard growled. Rania nodded. Intergra looked like she could rip someone apart. That name was taboo. Rania spoke again.

"They will not accept anything but full surrender and neither will I. Those creatins have destoryed too many lives and I promise...their blood will stain my blades, even if it takes me a lufetime to do it." Rania said, venom in her voice. Intergra nodded.

"What do you wish for us to do about the mysterious problems on Earth? I xould send..." Intergra began. Rania shook her head.

"Nothing as of yet. We need to focus on the here and now. Danzo is an immediate threat. If this other threat arises, we will act. Now, you go rest. I have another appoinment in a hour." Rania said. Walter, Seras, and Alucard exited the office. Intergra motioned to them that she would follow. Intergra turned to Rania.

"Is he here? I have to know." Intergra asked. Rania nodded. Intergra looked at her.

"Does he know about me? That I'm his mother? That I had to leave him because of my own past?" Intergra asked. Rania shrugged.

"I do not now if he was told that his mother is alive. I only know that he strives to prove himself to hus students. It is not my place to tell him. Its yours and your choice." Rania said. Intergra gazed out the window, looking at the gardens. She left her son in the care of the village that his father lived in. When word of his fathers death reached Intergra, she locked herself in her room for days, mourning and fighting with the Konoha civilian council to retain her son but they had cut her off. Intergra looked at Rania.

"At least I know he had a great teacher. I wish I had never left him but those damn witch hunters. He will hate me I'm sure of it." Intergra said. Rania laughed.

"I believe that he will be overjoyed that his mother is aluve and cared enough about him to protect him. And don't go all "I'm a failure" on me, Intergra Hellsing, I know better." Rania said. Intergra was at the door when she turned around and spoke.

"You forgot one. Hatake. Intergra Hellsing Hatake." She said exiting the room. Rania smiled. Well, Kashi, your mom is interested in repairing your relationship. I wonder what you are going to do when you find out that the greatest vampire hunter in ages is your mom? Hmmmm. Rania thought turning to the papers on her desk. Hiko, Kenshin, Luca, Lyra, and the nin disembarked the ship and made their way to Rania's office. Hiko knocked once.

"Come in." Rania called. Hiko's party entered the office. Rania looked at them.

"Well, what did they decide?" Rania asked. The nin answered.

"They intend to lure the Velosian party there, arrest them on trumped up charges, and then declare war. They still have the "Better than anyone" ego. I personally think that whoever goes to this meeting should be armed to the teeth." the nin said. Rania looked at the group. She knew that they would try to overtake any powerful person. She knew that they would say that Velos attacked first. But they didn't know that she figured on this. Rania wasn't second in command because of her fighting skills but because of her thinking skills. Konoha was arrogant. Arrogance caused wars. She would have to tred carefully now. The Damiyo didn't care as long as dues were paid. If Konoha started a war, Velos would be in the thick of it. No, the meeting would occur, just not with the intended guests. Rania spoke to Hiko.

"You did well. This news is expected. The meeting will occur..." Rania said.

"WHAT?!" the group said. Rania raised a hand to silence them.

"As I said, the meeting will happen-however neither I, Galen, or Danok will be going. I have someone in mind who will fit the part perfectly." Rania said. The group eased up. Of course, Rania wouldn't allow that to happen. She smiled.

"Care to tell us?"

"No, Hiko, I will wait until I am sure they will do it. Besides, all of you are tired. Go get some food and rest." Rania said. Hiko and party left the room, except the nin. The nin looked at Rania.

"They don't know yet that you are alive, as I told you, it is your choice to tell them." Rania said. The nin looked at her.

"I just walk in and say hi? I wouldn't even be allowed to speak." The nin said. Rania was going to speak when a knock sounded at the door. Before Rania could tell the nin to leave another way, they opened the door. Hiashi Hyuuga stood there in shock as his eyes met a nin thought long dead. One word escaped his mouth.

"You."
