Disclaimer:Hellsing does not belong to me.Special thanks once again to Serena, Docky, Rachel and BlackPanther.
Couldn't have done it without you all.
Warning:Lots and lot of dialouge except at the end of act one.
"What is this about Master?"
"Alucard....you may want to sit down. I feel that this shall become a quite long and tedious conversation once you find out what I have to tell."
"Oh? If you don't mind, I prefer standing on the ceiling....it brings blood to my head and may help me clarify this meaningless waste of time with the smelly mongrel below me."
"ANDERSON! Sit down and put away those knives before I shoot your other leg off!"
".....fine."
"Good....now Alucard....there are times in a man's life when he must 'share'-"
"Did I say I wanted to share her? I wanted complete control and thought you understood that very clearly!"
"'Her' Master?"
"Father, do not ever interrupt me again. Alucard. Her.....means Seras Victoria."
"What are you saying Master? It better not be what I think you're saying because if it is....I do not know what I shall do."
"Is that threat?"
"Anderson..."
"Maybe it is you unshaven ragged mutt."
"Alucard, please."
"Please what?"
"Please be quiet and LISTEN! I am afraid to say, due to the current circumstances, I have bargained with Father Alexander Anderson a gift of which I know you will not entirely approve of Alucard.....a gift that includes something you rather hold close to you."
"....you're kidding."
"Alexander?"
"Finally, I can get some of my words in. You see Nosterafu, I know that for the past 500 years you have been nothing but a damned, pathetic, corrupt soul with a succubus's personality and Satan's face."
"Thank you."
"But the little girl, however, is pure and not as weak to your darkness as you may think. You shield her from the holy light, afraid that once she steps out into it, your weaknesses will be revealed for her eyes to see. I have seen it many times with other vampires and their subordinates, and their 'children' always succumbed despite their clinging to humanity. I wasn't sorry for them, oh no, but this girl has held out longer than any other I have ever seen. For two weeks is all I ask for total control of her."
"How about this Judas Priest...No."
"Alucard...."
"Your master promised it to me, you monster.I expect my full payment, starting now. If not, then I shall depart leaving you, the girl, the butler and your Master laying in puddles of blood with His blessed silver through each and every one of your throats......and don't start to believe you can stop me. If you do not die, then you must suffer the burden of your Master's death...after all, she isn't a filthy vampire such as yourself. Your little girl, if she does not die as well, will be lost. Torn apart after you leave this world by mobs, by others who see all undead as mere targets to practice shooting on....now tell me....do you want that?"
"You Vatican son of a bitch. None of what you speak is true because you are full of the Devil's steaming shit straight from his slimy lavatory. My Master would never do such a drastic, risky measure just to insure victory over her rivals....am I not correct Master....or what he speaks is true and leave me false?"
"He is correct Alucard. I'm sad to say this but......Alucard, Vampire servant of the Hellsing Organization, you have officially been suspended for the duration of two weeks time in the department for the caretaking and control of Miss Seras Victoria. I, Sir IntegralWingates Hellsing, grant Alexander Anderson Miss Victoria's new 'Master' during the suspension."
"Master....."
"Silence. I am not finished. If you tamper in Anderson's or Miss Victoria's private activites, I will be forced to prolong the suspension. If you harm Miss Victoria or Anderson, I will be forced to commit you back into your former bondage.Do you understand?"
"...Yes....My Master."
"It is agreed. Father Anderson.....you may commence your leadership starting now by telling Miss Victoria. Alucard,if you have any duties to attend to, you may brush them off. There will be five medical bags for you tonight instead of the usual three....a rare comfort I hope you will enjoy while the time lasts."
"Thank you Sir Hellsing. May God be with you and possibly this shall be the start of a beautiful temporary peace between us."
"One can only hope Father..."
Integral turned to the painting on the wall, and felt herself give a huge sigh.
"One can only hope."

Walter and Yumiko silently watched as the priest hopped down the hall past them with a large, undying smile on his face. The joy in his eyes and the light of his one step infered them to what had occured behind the locked doors. They had been listening for the past few minutes, using a teacup to place against the door and lean their ears to as they listened in. The priest did not even stop to scold them about God's wrath toward those who listened in when not needed, instead walking past as if they were just pieces of dusty furniture.
"He's certainly happy, he just walked right past us."
"I can see that. I wonder how that poor girl is going to take this,and what he's going to do to her."
"Surely he won't go too far as to force her to relent to him?"
"It is possible.....priests are quite pushy from what I hear."
"Especially the ones who kill ghouls and play catch with the children one minute and the next is running after some filthy offender of God."
"He takes care of children?!"
"Yes, you didn't know that?"
"He...takes....care...of....children."
"I do not see why you are so shocked. After all, he is a priest."
"My God, what is this world coming to....no what are you Catholics coming too?!"
"Whatever do you mean?"
"Nothing..." he said briskly. "REALLY crazy Catholics." He mumbled.
--------------------------
.....Do you wish to become human?
Do you wish to stay as you are?
Do you wish to alk unmarked into sun's unpitying rays that offer you pleasure and take away fear of night?
Do you wish to know your father would be so proud of you, knowing your sacrifices to become what you are.
Did you truly wish that night was different?
That you were not drawn to that church,that your comrades had not fallen and yet instead could have held out for the very least, a few more minutes?
Do you wish you let yourself die instead of becoming this?
Do you wish you had at least done something...fighting back, anything that would inflict some damamge to the vampire priest?
Did you see his red coat and know that he was your doom and saviour?
Did you see his fangs and tremble in fear or admiration?
Did you see his gun and feel relief or the burden of realization?
What did you expect?
What did you find?
What did you learn?
What have you known?
What can you do?
Nothing.

Seras opened her eyes and sat up on her bed to the sound of knocking.
"Master?" she groggily murmured. Blinking several times, she yawned and stretched. "Is that you?"
"Yes.....it's Master."
She stumbled up out of her bed, and loosened the stiffness that had settled in her cold joints with a inhumanl impossible stretch. Letting out another yawn, she went to the door, talking all the while.
"I had the strangest dream Master...I was in a dark and empty room with a red floor , and I kept hearing that idiot priest's voice in my head." She smiled and turned the lock. "What do you think it means?"
Opening the door, she satred up into the priest's soured face with a look of groggy unrealization.
"Master, where's your hat?"
"Child, I suggest rubbing the sand out of your eyes and THEN asking me that question."
Seras froze, and stepped back.
"No...no no no no no."
"Oh, but yes yes yes yes. The agreements have been made child. For the next two weeks, you are mine and mine alone .No one or no thing, including your former master, can take you away from me." He stepped into the room, stooping to get under the doorframe. Standing in the middle of her room, he looked around.
"You will tell me everything you do,everything you say, everything you feel while I accustom you to a better life where He will perhaps take mercy on your tainted soul.I will hold up my ends by not touching or forcing you to do anything I ask of you. By then, you'll follow me and not be afraid. Two weeks, mea puella."
"Two weeks is nothing." Seras retorted bitterly.
"Ah! I could have asked for more time, but I do not like to take chances in overextending what we shall share.Two weeks is all it will take for everything to fall to plan. Can you imagine" he lowered his voice in hushed excitement "the prospects of what are ahead? The undead shall fall, Iscariot in my palm and you....well.....we mustn't go too far ahead shall we?"
He glanced over to the side of her room at the thrown magazine and his smile widened.
"So you found out I peeked. Such excellent detective skills you have.....especially as a vampire.It bemuses me how women your age can actually read that drivel with such pursuit."
Seras flushed, and quickly went to grab the magazine.
"Never touch them again with your bloody filthy hands!" she spat into his face like a hissing cat.
"It is so very unrealistic" he continued clamly "to believe that a knight or pirate will simply come with a well oiled chest and on a grand steed to take you away to enjoy wanton nights of love making in over flowerly euphenisms. I expected more out of your reading materials child...I suggest you begin to read the Bible over and over and learn the doctrine to appease me."
"I will never appease you, I will never want you, and I will never follow you. Now get out before I call my real Master!"
The priest threw back his head, letting out howl after howl of laughter at the girl's demands.
"You are such a gullible one aren't you? Your mistress of master ordered him to not come near you or me nor take part in our private activities. You might as well give up on ever thinking he truly cares about you."
Seras froze, and gritted her teeth.
"He does care."she hissed. "Once your two weeks are up, I'll show you what it's truly like between us. Master and I care for each other, while between you and I there is nothing but my utter hatred for everything you represent and everything that you do." Drawing herself up proudly, she gave him a crooked smile, thrusting the magazine into his hands.
"You might as well read this. Try reading that one you were looking at and come back when you've stopped acting like a fool."
He raised a eyebrow, and stared down at the magazine. Flipping through it quickly, he sat down on her bed, despite her groan of sealed outrage.
"And he lifted me up into his muscled oiled arms," he said mockingly "and kissed my lips with a kiss that burned with the fires of our passionate hearts....really child you expect me to read this dreck?! Nothing but sin and more sin!"
"How is it sinning?" she snapped. "They're only kissing!"
"He has his shirt off," the priest tapped the picture "and look at that dress! She looks like any harlot on the corner! And it's so innocent at first, just a little kiss. But the next thing you know, you'll wake up and God will frown down on thee for sexual relations outside of marrying."
"Still,they're only kissing."
"My Deus, they are having sex with their tongues! Oral sex, nothing but filthy sin!"
"I can't believe this....THEY ARE KISSING."
"Still, oral sex. Any touching of mouth to another human's intimate places is oral sex, and the lips are very intimate. This young lady however, has lips so thick she looks like a bloated frog!"
Seras leaped up, and grabbed the magazine from his hands. She tore it in half and stomped on it to nothing, nothing but dirty pages with barely legible words.Looking up and panting, she felt herself clench inside as he smiled slyly with his arms crossed.
"Step one completed. Onto step two." He hopped up, and made his way to the door.
"Goodnight Miss Seras Victoria.Look forward to a long hard day of training.....and maybe you'll get to rip more of your pocessions up."
He barely ducked in time to avoid the heavy glass paperweight that crashed behind him. He smirked, and turned on his heel and marched up the stairs.
Seras kicked her four poster coffin, ignoring the numbness that substituted pain spreading throughout her foot.
"Wanker." she muttered. Plopping down into her coffin, she was about to bring the lid down when it hit her. Was it a revalation, a epiphany or what, she didn't know. But she realized she must have been blind to not realize her capabilities that she had just right for her fingers to grasp on the black and white chessboard.
"For once Pip Bernadotte, you're going to come in handy." she whispered as she brought the coffin lid down.
Couldn't have done it without you all.
Warning:Lots and lot of dialouge except at the end of act one.
"What is this about Master?"
"Alucard....you may want to sit down. I feel that this shall become a quite long and tedious conversation once you find out what I have to tell."
"Oh? If you don't mind, I prefer standing on the ceiling....it brings blood to my head and may help me clarify this meaningless waste of time with the smelly mongrel below me."

"Anderson..."
"Maybe it is you unshaven ragged mutt."
"Alucard, please."
"Please what?"
"Please be quiet and LISTEN! I am afraid to say, due to the current circumstances, I have bargained with Father Alexander Anderson a gift of which I know you will not entirely approve of Alucard.....a gift that includes something you rather hold close to you."
"....you're kidding."
"Alexander?"
"Finally, I can get some of my words in. You see Nosterafu, I know that for the past 500 years you have been nothing but a damned, pathetic, corrupt soul with a succubus's personality and Satan's face."
