Chapter 8

                As the moon slowly rises, Alucard is up, and sitting with his feet propped up on the edge of the table right next to his glasses and his wide-rimmed hat. He grimaces and enjoys the feeling of being slightly stronger than the night before. He lolled his head back and stared at the ceiling.

                "Hmmmm...Now where is Seras..." He grinned. "Time to play hide and seek...mwahahaha..." He floated from his chair to the ceiling, slowly turning black, reappearing into Seras' room.

                Seras lay dead asleep still in her sealed coffin tangled in her blanket, her arms outstretched to her sides, and her mouth wide open and fangs showing as she snored.

                Alucard dropped into her room upside down, staring at her coffin and grinning. He slid over and disappeared, his head popping into her coffin. Slowly his body appeared, and he hovered right over her inside the coffin and watched her strange way of sleeping.

                However, she was out cold, and in the middle of her snoring her mouth shuts, but her teeth are bared in a funny fashion, as if she were making faces at him. Alucard slowly dropped down, and gently lay on top of her, his black hair covering the sides of his face from view, surrounding his face in black hair...all except the front part, however.

                "Morning...or rather...evening, Seras..." He grinned at her, cackling the way he usually did.

                Seras cracked her eyes open a little, one more than the other, clearly not quite awake yet. "Ahum-eh?" She said, disoriented-like. "Whaa...Master?"

                "Hehehehe...Time to get up, Seras..." He added sarcastically. "Unless you would like to do something else in this position..." He raised an eyebrow.

                Seras, fully awake now, blinked at his mischievousness and his suggestion, and then grinned. "Gee, master, you sure are lively when you wake up..." She wrapped her arms around his neck. He leaned on her as he was hugged, and he hugged her back around her middle. The lid of the coffin slowly rose.

                "Hehehehe...I was human once...a long, long time ago..." He started to get up, but he was choked by Seras' locked grip around his neck, so picked her up and carried her as he stood, and looked at her. She did the same, a strange look in her eye, and a mischievous grin upon her face.

                "So master...you are intimidated by being so close...?" She had no intentions of letting go of him. And he had no intentions of letting his gaze wander somewhere else, as he kept his own eyes on her. He became so close to her face that their lips almost touched, a wide grin spreading across his face as he kept the proximity.

                "Does this look like I'm intimidated, Police Girl?" She could feel the long strands of his black hair on her forehead and tickling the sides of her face.

                "No, not at all, Master..." The slight movement of her mouth brought them even closer...

                "Hmmmm..." He tightened his hold he had on her, and to her surprise, put her down slowly, sitting her on the bed. His grins, baring all of his teeth in a glorious smile, and stared off into nothingness, coming back to normal after a few seconds. "Time to go see how everything is going with the freaks...Walter has managed to get new information on them..." He grinned. "Tonight will be exciting either way..."

                "Hai, master, demo..." She tugged on her PJ shirt. "I have to get changed first..."

                Alucard looked at her, then turned away so that she could change. He crossed his arms.

                "Hmmm...a bit warm tonight...training will be easy," He tried his best to make decent conversation as Seras changed behind him. She looked at him awkwardly, wondering if he'd use any of his voodoo, creepy powers to spy on her, and grabbed her blue 'police-girl' uniform, buttoning down the front of her form-fitting shirt, snapping down the buttons that held her high collar together. She grumbled as she put on her skirt, and buckled her black leather belt around her waist comfortably.

                She rolled her eyes at the back of her master, as he tried to make conversation---but failed miserably. Having already pulled on her thigh-high stockings, she pulled on her combat boots, stomping her feet into them, also giving the signal she was decent enough for him to turn around. She ran her fingers through her hair quickly, and the strands fell into place neatly.

                Alucard turned around, hearing her stomping her boots around, and magically obtained his hat and glasses. He slipped his glasses on his face, and tipped his hat on, grinning like he usually did.

                "Police outfit again...mmmmmm..." He walked up to her, in one of his playful moods again. "Time to go see my master..." He started to walk out of her room, opening the door and leaving it open for Seras to exit.

                She grabbed her white gloves as she jogged out the door to catch up to him, and once she did and slowed to a normal walk speed, she started pulling her gloves on, one glove shoved into her mouth to hold it as she put the other one on.

                Alucard noticed the glove and took it, looking preoccupied by it for some odd reason. "Mmmm... You shouldn't put things into your mouth that isn't blood..." She blinked as she felt the glove be ripped out of her mouth, wearing one glove now instead of two.

                "Nani, Master?" She blinked a few more times, wondering if she would get her glove back. And he did give it back to her, once he saw she had gotten the first one on. He continued to walk silently down the corridor, seeing Miss Hellsing in her study.

                "Evening, my master."

                Seras walked in behind Alucard, almost crashing into him as she grumbled, having a bit of trouble with putting on her glove; it was half inside-out, goddammit!

                As she finally shoved it on her hand, she corrected her posture politely.

                Alucard looks at his master as he stands in front of her desk, Integra sitting at her desk and looking at reports on damages caused by the priest.

                "Master..." Alucard looked at her, as a servant would do to their superiors. "I would like to help train Seras more...would you like to join...become stronger than you already are?!?!" He says, a grin upon his face. Integra looks up at him, her eyes contracting as she focuses on his being, and notices Seras on the side.

                "No...Paperwork to do..." Her eyes wandered back over to the papers and she remembered. "...Walter has made some new additions, he didn't tell me, I think he is a little more scared of me these days than usual."

                Alucard looked at her. "Yes, my master."
