Chapter 2

Far in the distance, she heard a familiar deep, throaty cackle. "Mwahahaha..." Seemingly coming from nowhere, a deep black dog with six deep red eyes comes toward her, a silver glinting cross between it's teeth.

Seras knew right away who this was, and she looked down at it with wide eyes; a grin spread across her face.

"It IS going to be a long time until I'm as strong as you, master..." He bent down and patted the crown of his head.

The Alucard-dog looked up at Seras, remembering his former human body, dropped the cross he held in his mouth and licked her hand affectionately.

Seras blinked, then kneeled down a little more to pat his head more, and her face broke out into a bigger grin. "And I thought you were going to bite me, too..." She continued to pet him.

"Seras..." He looked up at her with his six eyes.

She looked down at him, looking past her arm that rested on his head. "Master?"

"Hmmmm…" Alucard just nodded his little dog head and rolled his eyes around lazily, wagging his tail.

Seras let gravity kick in, and she dropped to her knees and let go of her cannon, which created a loud rumble from the force it hit the ground. She smiled; petting and watching her master roll his many eyes around.

He dog-purred again as she scratched his neck, wagging his tail a little more. "Hmmmmmm..."

Leaning forward a bit, she scratched his neck with both of her hands. As a surprise, she took those same hands and wrapped him up in a doggie-style hug. He grinned insanely as she rubbed his back, and he opened his mouth to yawn.

"Seras..." He stared at her with those six eyes in an incredibly affectionate way. As she scratched his back, she looked at him through the corner of her eye.

"Yes, master?" He looked at her through every one of his eyes. He tried to talk, but he was having trouble talking. He was enjoying himself too much.

"Seras......e..n...j...o..y...?" He continued to wag his tail. She laughed slightly and continues scratching his back.

"Hai, master..." She cocked her head at him, much like a puppy would, actually. "You're quite different, master, you seem to like this in your dog form..."

Alucard rolled his eyes over to her and tried to act upon his true evil nature, but it was failing miserably.

"Seras...If...you...pet...me...as...a...vampire…I...won't...like...it...as...much…...This...is...rare…" He wagged his tail and gleemed at Seras, who squeezed him real hard and scratched him behind the ears.

"Are you sure of that, Master?" She had an evil glare in her eyes.

She looked at her through his left forefront eye sinisterly, his tail thumping against the ground. "Have...you...ever...seen...me...like...this...before…?" And he howled at the bright red moon.

"No, master..." She leans back a little, sitting fully on her knees, scratching his ears, making them flip-flop around. She was still hugging him, however, and Alucard was about to change to his human form.

"Seras, move..." He said quietly, and turned into his human form, not on purpose, and left Seras to dangle from her grip around his neck. She looked up at him, hatless and with no glasses, realizing he was no longer a dog, of course. Her eyes widened as she got a better grip as she wouldn't fall...he was pretty tall, of course.

Alucard looked down at the dangling Seras and grinned insanely. "Seras..." He picked her up and held her in his arms, preventing her from dangling like she was. She loosened her grip only a little bit as she's held by him, but just in case, she kept her hold nonetheless.

"Hai...master? What do you require?" She responded as he had said her name, sounding like he was going to say something else. She looked up at him with wide, anticipating eyes.

He held onto her and looked back up at the red moon once again, as they had done when they first gone outside the castle. "The moon is still red...there is still more to be done...but it is lowering."

She took a last look at the red moon, leaning her head against him. "More to be done, master? As in?"

Alucard moved his eyes toward Seras, enjoying the fact she was leaning against him...like when he first met her...

"The super freaks are still out there, Police Girl...they are strong...many...but it shall await another night..." And he started to make his way back to the castle, Seras watching him the entire time.

"Yeah...it can wait another night."

She gazed at him.

He stopped at the gate. "You did well, Police Girl..." He sounded, for once, awkward...almost embarrassed to say so.

And she grinned, a fang poking out from her top lip, happy to hear a word of praise from her master. "Arigato, Master...but I'm sorry I had to shoot you..." She eyed him.

"Mwahahaha..." He cackled, eyeing her again. "As I told you...you need more than guns to kill me." He grinned evilly.

"That's true, master," She poked him in the chest, the nearest place she could, at least. "What are yeh grinning about, eh?" A wide, evil smile spread across her face.

He did something he wouldn't normally do, and he poked her right back...but on the nose. "Mwahahaha...grinning relieves pressure…" He let out another throaty cackle. "The moon is so glorious...it makes me want to drink...hmmm..."

Seras blinks as her nose is poked, clearly not expecting that from a master such as he. She cocked her head to the side at what he said, and blinked, her eyes glinting seductively.

"'Pressure,' master?"

Alucard glanced at her neck, and then eyed her with trepidation. "Pressure of the jaw, makes for happier killings..." He bared his teeth and smiled.

However, she watched him with skillful, knowing eyes. "What would you like, master?"

By this he was very taken aback, but he kept his intent gaze upon her. He cackled. "Enjoy yourself, I would not...there is more than that...I feel the blood in your body, Police Girl...enjoy the warmth of it..." He still looked a bit startled, but he looked on at her with care.

Seras looked more up at him, looking right at him with piercing red eyes and grins with a fang sticking out. "Mm hmm..." She leaned her head against him, her eyes not breaking away. "Why do you look so shaken up, master?" Her voice was sounding more and more evil...

Looking a little ashamed for a moment, he ignored the question and kept walking through the gate, to the castle. Seras kept watching him, wondering if he'd answer her question, but she felt him start to move again. She then realized he wouldn't answer that particular question.

She closed her eyes and sighed, "Master."
