Lost
Part 2
No one knows how it feels; Raya paced through the house most of the day, Ceras did her best to be company to her. The blond vampire or half-breed couldn't believe that the girl was anything more than just a girl.
Raya's eyes flashed and some glasses broke; Intregal didn't seem to notice or just pretended they weren't broken. "So what will we do with her? Broken glass isn't going to clean itself," Walter whispered to his employer.
"Walter be patient, we have to figure out how to get her to calm down first. So far from what I have found out, Father Alexander destroyed the school," Intregal looked down at the newspaper.
Another thing shattered and Walter gave a groan going back to clean up whatever broke. Alucard just watched in quiet wonder. "Cruelity has many colors, but look at her eyes."
"One yellow, one blue, according to the files I got from Kritiker, Raya is a clone, so she may not even be human."
"Oh.what shall we do with her?"
Intregal stood up and whispered. "Treat like a human. Give her an actual life, one that Eszet can't take away. They treat people like her like machines, like they have no souls or true meanings." Her voice was filled with disgust as she looked into the dinning room where Raya was, where she sat looking around.
"What do you want to do?" Ceras asked finally looking at the girl who blinked.
"Don't I have lessons?" Raya asked quietly.
"Why, this is your life? You can learn whatever you want."
Whatever I want? That never occurred to Raya before, she had never been allowed to do anything aside from the programs setup by Z class. No special training sessions, none of that at all, any battle training. "What?" Ceras looked at her. "Haven't you ever been given a choice before?"
"No."
No choices, Alucard had never known about such a thing as not having a choice. He walked up to the girl and put his hands on her shoulders. "You never were given a choice to be?"
"No..Eszet created me, the one named Nagi from a group called Schwarz told that it is wrong. But I never understood why."
Intregal got up slowly and looked around. "So we must find Schwarz. I personally didn't want to ask the help of a that assassin team."
"So that is what they are," Ceras blinked.

Crawford only gave a faint cough when he heard the name Sir Intregal Fairbrook Hellsing on his answering machine. He smoothed his white blond hair and looked at Schuldich who was standing in front of a mirror. "Vanity is you're down fall, Schuldich," he whispered hoarsely and then looked down at the phone. "Seems that one of the lab rats escaped the fire, Father Alexander must have gotten clumsy to allow such a thing to happen."
"You do realize she was influenced by Nagi," Schuldich smiled at his reflection. "Do you think this hat suits me?"
"I don't think you are listening. Even if Nagi influenced her enough to leave, the program will default and she will go back to Rozen Kreuz," the leader of Schwarz whispered. "What news of the other team?"
"Balinese and Siberian are going back to Tokyo. Berserker isn't coming with us."
"I expected that, where is Prodigy?"
"School, his college classes don't let out until late."
Crawford sighed as he picked up his phone and dialed the number that Intregal had left him. "Hello? Intregal?"
**
Reaching Schwarz was a lot harder than normal Intregal had to leave a message online with Nagi who was of course not so easy to talk to. Ceras made an attempt to contact Nagi in person only to have the Prodigy stare at her evilly and then asked for her name and how she knew his code name. "I work for Hellsing we found a girl named Raya."
"Raya-san? Is she alright, where is she?" He looked almost relieved his dark eyes traveling up to Ceras. "You have call this number, tell your leader to ask for Crawford. He will not answer to his first, just say Crawford." He handed her a piece of paper and darted away to his next class.
She had done as the boy asked and that earned her a call an hour latter. "Yes, I am aware that you do not answer to Hellsing, Crawford, but we found one of the students from the school. We have requested that you take her off our hands."
"Sadly you have come to the wrong people. Have you contact Kritiker?" was the man's reply.
"Do you know what they will do to her, Crawford?" Intregal's voice was somewhat harsh. "They'll kill her."
Crawford paused considering what had been said. "We will talk tonight, I will be at the mansion. We will make our decision about her then."
For once his life get that stupid stick out of his ass; she thought pulling her hands back from the phone. "Bastard, this is why I don't deal directly with assassins, Alucard. They are worse than dealing with insane priest. I'll be lucky he doesn't bring the damned Berserker."
Alucard just nodded not really paying attention. "So what will happen to the girl?"
"It isn't our decision any more."
Walter walked in with Raya who was dressed in one of Intregal's old dresses, she looked rather different than what was normally accepted at her school. Her orange school uniform was properly disposed of. As far as Walter was concerned, the girl was as normal as any other child. "Ms. Raya, I do believe you should pick a last name for yourself."
"Why?" the girl looked at Walter not sure.
"A last so we can actually know you for something other than Raya," Ceras smiled at her entering the room.
"I am Raya, that is all I am."
**
The Hellsing mansion made Crawford uncomfortable; his moved his monocle to his eye and looked over at Schuldich who was just leaning against a tree. "This really is annoying, I mean look at it," he commented. "The place is a damn fortress."
Nagi only looked at the castle and sighed. "Ms. Hellsing is of course a great woman. She joined with Kritiker the same time we did."
"Don't remind me," Schuldich hissed as they walked into the courtyard and right into the waiting introduction of Intregal and her group.
"I see that you have arrived," the butler smiled at them. "This way if you please." He led them into an office where they were met by a person with long blond hair, glasses and dressed in a khaki suit.
"Schwarz? I see you have arrived and left the Berserker at home," she seemed relieved.
Crawford only nodded his head. "I suppose it was for the best, Ms. Hellsing. Where is the girl?"
"Yes, you are right, we will need to discuss her. Walter please collect Ms. Raya from her rooms."
The butler nodded and smiled. "Of course."
**
Ceras paced the hall looking at Alucard. "We should be in there," she whispered. "Her dealing with assassins."
"Schwarz are not those we should worry about," Alucard whispered as he looked up at Raya who was silently looking at them.
Walter led her into the room, they silently followed her in. Ceras stared at Crawford was a man with white hair and dark mocha eyes, his monocle made him look like some sort of aristocrat.
A man with orange hair and green eyes smiled, he was dressed in a yellow shirt and pant with a rather weird styled hat. He was leaning against the wall looking at everyone with an odd look. "Don't think too loudly," she heard her master's voice. "Telepaths are rare ones, but they are dangerous, this one is."
"I take offense to that, Alucard," the man smiled. "After all I haven't had you jumping around doing anything stupid have I?"
Alucard just brought out his guns and smiled "I'd like to see you try it, assassin."
"Alucard! That is enough." Intregal looked up and glared at Alucard who withdrew and nodded.
He went silent though his hand was threatening to go to the Cassull.
Ceras's attention soon came to the youngest member, he looked close to her age of nineteen, and his dark indigo eyes were on Raya's different colored eyes. "How are you Raya-san?"
"I am fine, Nagi," Raya responded quietly.
"She seems well enough," Crawford looked the girl over. "Why didn't you tell us that she was a clone? She is worse than the freaks you kill."
"I prefer that you treat her as a human," Intregal hissed angrily. "She maybe nothing more than a mere clone to you, but as far as I can see she is human. Even with her powers she is one of your kind."
Schuldich nodded. "She has a point, Bradley."
Crawford could put up with a lot of things, but of course when he gave the glare of death to Schuldich for ever calling him by his first name. "Schuldich!"
"Listen, the kid doesn't have any place to go, if Rozen Kreuz got a hold of her, you know it would be instant death. Beside if she stays with us or with Hellsing, she'd have a fighting chance to lead a relitivaly natural life."
"Coming from a psycho-telepath, that is an understatement," Intregal whispered trying to hide her anger. "No offense."
"None taken," whispered the German and smiled. "After all, this girl might just need to stay here. We have been called in."
Nagi shook his head. "Persia sent for us. We're leaving in a couple days, Ms. Hellsing."
"Oh.so Ms. Raya will be staying?" Walter seemed pleased with this.
Schwarz only nodded and left without saying another word to anyone. "This is why I don't like dealing with Kritiker agents, especially ones that are assassins," Intregal snarled with an impatient glare at everyone in the room. "Raya, you have five days to pick a last name, I am enrolling you in school."
**
"Do you think it is wise to leave her here?" Schuldich asked.
Crawford turned and faced his team. "If you think I'm going to have her facing certain death, I am not about to. Raya is a clone and with the way Intregal is acting, she believes that girl is going to be normal."
"She can be if was just allow her to be treated less like a freak." The German snarled hotly. "She's a child."
**
Raya sat in the library the next morning staring at a list of cumulated names. Alucard just watched in silence as she read off the names. "What do you think?"
"It is your name, Raya," he only got up and walked down to his crypt. "Either way, you will be known to that."
She blinked and crossed off the names she didn't like, she was left with three, she whispered to herself the names and sighed feeling so unsure what name to choose. "What kind of name should I choose?"
Walter just looked at her and smiled. "Your choice, Ms. Raya, you are after all going to have to live with it. Ms. Intregal will be signing adoption papers, and making a birth certificate."
"So much trouble," she whispered.
Walter only nodded at that. "But, Ms. Raya, you are worth it."
No one knows how it feels; Raya paced through the house most of the day, Ceras did her best to be company to her. The blond vampire or half-breed couldn't believe that the girl was anything more than just a girl.
Raya's eyes flashed and some glasses broke; Intregal didn't seem to notice or just pretended they weren't broken. "So what will we do with her? Broken glass isn't going to clean itself," Walter whispered to his employer.
