Guess who was her fiancé? Yup: Lord Arthur Holmwood... Warning: Prepare yourself for the worst english and a lot of OOC. Shake with fear you punny mortals!!!!!!!
Hellsing: Duty Chapter 1
Alucard stepped inside Hellsing's Manor, a wide grin was spread in his face...
Oh, another time you refused me, Master... But the more you resist, the more I want you... Next time I'll be more 'close up and personal'
"Ah, Master Alucard, you're already here...", a male voice said. The voice was from Walter Kum Dorneaz, the loyal steward of the Hellsing family. He had been released from the hospital a couple of days ago, since he had some serius injuries from the helicopter's crash.
"Good night Walter, glad the old God of Death recovered so quickly. Next time when you decided to have an adventure, remember that you're not young any more... Nor inmortal either to resist all the bruises", he taunt the poor butler...
Walter only did a polite smiled and replied: "Thank you for your concerning, Master Alucard... You'll find you're supplies of medicinal blood in your chambers", he paused, "And Miss Seras is waiting for you",
"Master!", a female voice called out, "You're here!" The young police woman better known as Seras Victoria, the newest of Alucard's childes, ran to greet her master. Ever since her fight with Incognito's minions and the loss of Peter Ferguson, she had mature a lot. She's not so reluctance of her vampiric nature any more, yet she still remained innocent and with a child-like good nature.
"Hello to you too, policewoman", Alucard greeted the over-excited vampire...
Seras frowned, "Aww, Master, You're calling me policewoman again... I believe that you'll adress me with my name, now"
Alucard chuckled
"Maybe, Policewoman, maybe", he replied playfully like a big brother pespering his little sister...
The telephone rang and Walter went to pick up the call
"Hello, Hellsing's Manor?", he asked,"Ah, Sir Integra! Yes, everyone is here and alright... The Queen had release you? That's wonderful!"
Seras looked happy too about the news...
On the other hand, Alucard was annoyed Uhmp, there went my chance to have her broken... Oh well, I'll carry my plans here... In the end she'll submit to me, his lips pursed up in to a evil smile, fangs showing, he was so self-absorbed in his dark thoughts that he didn't hear the rest of Walter's conversation.
"I see... Sir Integra, you want me to prepare an extra room for Lord Holmwood? I'll do it, don't need to worry. No, I'm alright now, Miss... Thank you for asking. I'll looking forward your arrive. Farewell, God bless you"
Inside the limusine
Integra sighed in relief after listened Walter's voice... Without him recovered, Hellsing would be a hell more difficult to run. But her worried expression change quickly to her stoic one.
"Is everything alright, Sir Hellsing?", asked Lord Holmwood who was sitting next to her.
Even though they were engaged now, Joseph hadn't called her by her first name, he was respectful of her surname...
"Of course, Lord Holmwood... Just a little tired, this night was full of surprises", she replied while finished one of her cigars.
"Indeed", he said grinning a little "Don't worry about me, Sir Hellsing... Your great-grandfather wasn't the only one who must deal with the undead pest in the past... I wont use against your organization... The least thing I want is to be a disability"
Of course, Integra thought, Lord Arthur Holmwood was very dear to my great-grandfather, Abraham, and he was one of the few who asisted him in the hunting
"Tell me Sir Hellsing, you still have that unholy pet lurking in the darkness?", he asked her with caution.
"Yes, he's still usefull to Hellsing, he and his vampire's childe: Seras Victoria", she explained calmly
Holmwood raised an eyebrow "Another one?"
"I'm afraid so... But Sgt. Victoria is too human. For a vampire, that is"
Holmwood put a hand in his chin
"And what about Dracula? He's still the same, isn't? He wont be pleased with my presence in his business... He already marked you"
Integra's eyes narrowed a little, but her face was still set in stone.
"First, his name is Alucard, now... And yes, he's still a unholy bastard..., Lord Holmwood. I couldn't care less if he is happy or unconfortable with your prensence, you're my guest and you'll recive the honor and protection of the Hellsing's name. And for the last..., I don't know what mark are you talking about... I don't belong to him, Lord Holmwood, nor I will belong to you... I belong to Hellsing and my country..."
"Forgive my rudeness, Sir Hellsing", he plegded.
Integra eyed him carefully and replied: "Alright, Lord Holmwood you're forgiven"
"We're here", she stated codly when she saw the Manor
I hope Alucard will behave... or he'll face the consequences
Meanwhile Inside the Manor
"She's here, she's here!!", exclaimed a overexcited Seras
"Calm down, policewoman. She's not going anywhere", said Alucard while patting Seras' shoulder.
"Ah, Master... I'm just curious about the guest", she tried to excuse herself.
Alucard's insane grin dissapeared for a moment
"What guest?", he inquiered
At same time, Walter was opening the door.
"Sir Integra, welcome back", he greeted her with a smile and a bow.
Integra came in, she was wearing her usual green men suit, she seemed calm and stoic as usual, a new cigar was between her lips.
"Thanks, Walter. Glad to see you operative, again", she replied with her cool demanour.
Alucard noticed another heartbeat behind her Master.
"Sir Integra, Sir Integra, I'm so happy to see you fine", Seras started to rambling.
"Thank you, Stg Victoria. Likewise", she stared to the girl's outbrust amused and annoyed at the same time. Of course that her feeling wasn't accurate with her unchange facial expression.
"Good night, Master. Well seems I have no necesary to travel so far to spend you a visit", he said while grinning maddly.
Walter seemed pertubed by this, but said nothing.
Seras was confused about this.
Integra shot him a warning look before replying
"Good night to you too, Alucard. About those visits..., I want them over"
Alucard mocked a hurt expression.
"Awww, Master you're breaking my heart"
"You have no heart", another male voice said from outside the Manor.
Walter seemed mild interest with this turn of events.
Seras felt like she was living inside a soap-opera. With vampires and guns, of course.
Integra was starting to wish she was in the cell again... But of course, she would never admit that.
Alucard's eyes narrowed dangerously, his grin grew wider and evilier...
"Who dares to tell me that?", he threated
A handsome young men clothed in a dark blue suit came inside Hellsing's Manor.
"I dare", he exclaimed boldly without even blinking.
Integra cleared her throat and made a signal to Walter who proceeded.
"Miss Seras Victoria, Master Alucard may I introduce you to Lord Joseph Raoul Holmwood, Sir Integra's fiancé for decrete of the Queen"
Seras eyes grew wide
"Wow, a fiancé?", she asked innocently
Lord Holmwood smile a little to Victoria and nodded his head.
But Alucard even though he had his 'Mona Lisa' smile plastered in his lips, was not pleased at all.
Holmwood! I should have knew that Arthur, the noble bastard, married and had children. Now he dares to interfiere in my activities... I should teach the idiot human what is his place
"I hope that your nocturnal taunts to Sir Hellsing will cease in the future", warned Joseph
Alucard grabed his Jackal, now fixed by Walter, and aimed into his forehead.
"You don't give me orders, idiot human"
Their gazes lock in one another.
Seras rolled her eyes and muttered something about: Men, and their macho fights. She covered her mouth when she realized, she had said that aloud. Her eyes met Integra who nodded and sent her a quick smile, before she turned stoic again and started to walk away.
Alucard's and Josheph's staring contest finished when they realized that Integra had walked away.
"Master, where are you going?", asked Alucard
Integra didn't even bother to turn around... "To the practice room, I need to shoot something"
Or I would shoot you and Josheph otherwise, she wanted to add.
A couple of minutes later, Integra armed with her gun was shooting with a perfect aim to the blank... Always to the heart.
She was so concentrated that she didn't notice Alucard's presence until he put his arms around her, holding her firm by her waist.His mocking face rest near her neck.
Integra glared coldly at him
"Let me go, Alucard", she commanded
"Afraid, master?", he started to lick her neck...
Integra shuddered at this, but the scorned expresion of her face did not change at all.
"Of you? Don't make me laught. I don't like closeness, Alucard. You're unerving me"
"Yessssss?", he breathed in her ear... "And what about that fool Holmwood?"
Integra raised an eyebrow.
"Alucard, the Queen commanded me to marry him... I don't have a choice in the matter. I'm surprise about this jealous outbrust of yours"
Alucard prefered no to touch the jealousy issue.
"Ah, but you do have a choice, Master... You could take my blood and..."
Integra interruped him, furious...
"Never, I will never accept that. I'm a Hellsing with my duties, I wont be joing the same pest I'm trying to destroy!"
"Why don't you leave her alone, Alucard?", said a new voice. It was Lord Holmwood."Still have a soft spot for engaged women?", he asked.
Alucard shot him a murdeous look...
"Old habits die hard", he replied
Alucard's hold in Integra lost and started to move back aways in to the shadows before dissapeared for good.
Integra turned to face Holmwood.
"Lord Holmwood, I appreciate your 'help', but I could deal with the taunts of my servant myself", she remarked to him
Lord Holmwood smiled.
"I have no doubt about that, Sir Hellsing. It was a bravado, Holmwood's genes kicked in... He have an old grudge with my family. I couldn't resist. My apologies", he explained.
Integra raised an eyebrow.
"I see, this all about him turning Miss Westenra?", she asked
Holmwood let go a sigh
"Yes, Sir Hellsing. As you should know the sealing of Alucard was a product of the efforts of your great-grandfather, Abraham Van Helsing;: my grandfather, Lord Arthur Holmwood; Mr Jonathan Harker; Dr John Seward and Quincey Morris... But all of them agree to give the monster to Van Helsing..."
Integra's lips formed a cold smile
"Five men, five points of the star... I'm aware of that"
Lord Holmwood smiled and grabed a gun...
"May I?", he asked Integra.
She nodded.
Lord Holmwood stared to shoot to another target, his aiming was also good, not as perfect as Integra, but it was pretty good.
"You like this?", he asked
"It's relaxing", she replied, "I'm not asking you 'permission' I'm not a lady-like woman"
Joseph smiled
"Of course not, we are both adults, Sir Hellsing and I respect your wishes"
Integra said nothing and left the room.
She arrived to her office and almost thrown herself into her beloved armchair. She lighted a cigar and started to do some paperwork. A noise interruped her work.
"What do you want, Alucard?", she asked coldly
"I just want to talk, Master"
She let go a sigh, and took another breath of her cigar.
"I'm busy right now"
"You had plenty of time to chat with Holmwood", he remarked her.
Annoyed she turned to face him, she was under her father's portrait as usual.
Integra's and Alucard's gazes were fixed with one another. They kept silence for ten minutes, just trying to measure themselves, testing, proving...
But Integra's telephone rang, interrupting the intimade moment they both shared.
"Yes?", said a stoic Integra, "I see. Don't worry, I'll sent someone to take care of that"
"More FREAKs to search and destroy, Master?", asked her vampiric servant with a glint in his eyes.
Integra let go the smoke and put a hand in her forehead.
"Yes, but there is more. Our founds said that they're puppets of real master vampires"
Alucard smirked at that.
"Is that so?", he said playfully, "I can't believe that a real vampire can sink so low"
"Well, you better believe, Alucard. It's rumored that the leader of the coven is a Master Vampire who called himself Udar...", she explained.
Alucard's grin dissapeared and a look of hate and anger crossed his normaly relaxed features.
"UDAR?!", he asked in a growl and stormed off the room
Integra was shocked with the change of his actittude and started to worry.
What had this Udar that made Alucard behave like this?, she wondered
Meanwhile in another place of London, a couple of bloodsuckers were having the feast of their un-lives. Above then a figure smirked in the dark...
I'm waiting for you 'Alucard'
He brusted in to maniacals laughts and started tocut humans' head.
He licked the blood on his hands and shouted:
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY"
Special Thanks to: Elros again!!!!!!!!!! *hugs the girl*
And the reviewers:
Guess who? Uhmm I dunno... lol... kidding Elros... Yes, we are partners in the bad english!
Angie: As I told you in one of my reviews, the 'lovable' hotmail don't want me to send you a reply T.T... And don't worry, the Holmwood/Integra thing is more a matter of respect and families' duties, they do respect the other. This fic wont be 'romantic', but it'll contain some issues about AxI
Tizzy: Yes I like to tortue poor Integra, he he I'm sooooooo evil MUAHAHAHA errrr. Alucard is always cryptic about his opinions... In the next chapter he'll have more protagonist, I swear.
Miyako: Of course he's not happy... Someone is stealing his prey/chosen one (Uhmm I'm reluctance to call the relationship of Integra and Alucard romantic, because Hellsing isn't about romance... I'm 'trying' to portrait that in this first part)
Megan: Thanks, the best thing you could tell a fanfiction author is that her character aren't OOC (well maybe a little). Yes, I know evil cliffhanger! HaHaHa, this one has other... Less dramatic... I never write cliffhangers, this is my first time guys! :)
General Sephiroth: I'm glad you like the fic!
