Chapter 2

Screaming Insanity

The van had made it to the Hellsing institute. Celes guided Yumiko to Integral Hellsing's room where she awaited the new vampire. They walked up many stairs until they reached Integral's room. Then knocked on the door and there was a faint answer. "You may enter. I wish only to see the new vampire," these words made Celes's skin crawl. Any words about the new vampire had been.

Yumiko opened the door and walked in to where Integral had been sitting. "I hear you had taken out the area of vampires that was infesting central Tokyo. I also hear you want to join us in our fight. I welcome you with not so open arms, but in any case you are still welcome to join us, if you wish. I can give you a room next to Celes's room," Integral's words just trailed off. There was a long pause from Yumiko. Finally she made her answer, "I wish to stay. I have no need for your weapons. I only ask that I be left alone and not treated like an un-civilized creature, like you are treating me as. Lady Integral Hellsing I am here to help. I may not look like I care about anything but it is my job to do so, and if you cant accept that then I can leave your pitiful weak institute to die." Integral looked surprised to hear these words. "I won't treat you like that. I hope you will stay and help. Is just sad you think of this institute to weakly. Any help from a "civilized" vampire would be greatly appreciated," Integral paused for a moment before continuing on, "I heard of how you took a whole army of vampires out. I want you to work with Alucard. He is very powerful and you could be of some use to him."

After her sentence Alucard slipped through the wall as if he were listening all along. Neither Integral Hellsing, nor Yumiko looked even the least bit surprised. Alucard had a look of disappointment on his face before reaching to his words, "I don't think I will need her help Lady Hellsing. She could not possibly be of any use to me, just a useless decoration to get in my way." Yumiko looked as if ready to tear Alucard apart, but not looking at him made it easier to control her rage. Integral looked at Alucard with the most serious face, almost deadly. "Alucard you will listen to what I said. If she does get in your way I will put her on her own," Integral commanded to Alucard with such seriousness it made the room so very quiet that no noise could be heard. Just the sounds of their beating hearts were heard.

Alucard nodded his head and left back through the wall. Integral looked back at Yumiko. "Walter will show you to your room," Integral spoke with words of frustration but it was silent frustration. "I think I can find it on my own. I saw mostly everything on my way here," Yumiko just walked away as those words were heard.

As Yumiko left she could hear a faint sound and she felt as if something were following her. She stopped half way down the hallway to listen carefully. Once she stopped listening she kept walking. She moved in closer to the wall as she walked. Once she was about to turn the corner she slid her hand into the wall like Alucard had disappeared into it. She had grabbed Alucard right out of hiding form the wall. Alucard was thrown to the other wall, not too hard just as if he were shoved there. Yumiko not once stopped to look back, instead she kept walking. The only words to come out of her mouth as she left were, "I hate being followed. If you don't trust me then ask me."

She then turned another corner to where Celes was waiting. Celes greeted Yumiko and guided her to her room. "Your room is next to mine as I have been told. It's just up here," Celes had no look of worry as she led Yumiko to her room. Finally they stopped at a door not to far from Celes's room. "This is where your room will be. If an alarm goes off in your room then you will be needed at the front lines. I have been told that you will be working with my master Alucard. So you might not be called in as often," Celes not once looked at Yumiko as she said the words of her master. "Look at me child, you are still very young. Although you think your life will go on forever now that you have that power, but that power will drive you to insanity. For as it already has begun to take you over. Whenever you feel as if you want to scream about it, scream away because I will hear you and you will always be heard," Yumiko just smiled after she made her sate as she walked into her room. Celes began to walk away to her room. She stopped just as she reached her room. A deadly scream was let loose out of Celes that seemed to have lasted almost forever.

Yumiko was standing at the door of her room watching Celes scream. She saw Alucard at the end of the long all looking at Celes as well. He turned to look at Yumiko. Yumiko just let out a smile, a smile that looked so deadly terrifying that it made Alucard leave through the floor. After Celes had screamed Yumiko walked into her room and closed the door. Celes had saw Yumiko walk into her room right after she had stopped screaming. Celes remembered the words that came out of Yumiko's words and they played over and over in her mind like she was stuck in a time warp. Finally she looked away and walked into her room.
