Chapter 9
Seras smiled at Integra kindly but kept silent, even as she noticed Alucard slowly turned towards her. Integra went back to her work, adjusting her glasses and she filed through many assorted papers on her desk. Alucard slowly turned and exited, Seras following suit. She shut the door silently behind them, just making it click.
In the corridor, Alucard looked outside a window of his height, as Seras walked over to where he was, looking at him.
"Hmmm...so that is why my master did not want to join us tonight...mwahahaha..." He noticed Seras looking at him, but he kept his gaze out the window.
"Hmmm? Nani, Master? What do you mean?" She jumped up and down, trying to see what he was hinting about...and whatever THAT was...it was outside, and she wasn't tall enough to see.
He turns his head and chuckles, remembering that he happened to be so much taller than she, and he lifts her up so she could see just like he could.
Holding her close, he spoke, "Look at the clouds, Police Girl...the slight wind makes them shift over the moon...it is a myth that this would bring bad tidings...my master must have sensed this," He grinned evilly and happily. "...This means fun tonight, Police Girl!"
Seras looked out the window, watching the clear, bright moon break in and out of many clouds that seemingly floated across the sky, sometimes blocking out the moon altogether.
"She's awfully perceptive..." Seras grinned up at her master.
He mimicked the grin and brought up a hand, rubbing her head in appreciation. "You will be too, Seras Victoria..." He ruffled up her hair quite a bit, some of the ends sticking out here and there crazily, and she laughed.
"Eventually, I will...I need to practice more...It'll take time," She wandered her gaze back out the window, getting some last looks, since she would never be as tall as her master to see out of the window again.
"You know...I do sense something bad coming, now that I think of it..." She kept staring out the window.
He looked at her, mystified. "It's true, Seras...another, master of super freaks..." He set Seras down on the floor again and turned, his coat making a low flapping noise as he turned and walked down to Walter's. "I wonder what Walter has for us this time..."
As her feet touched the floor she caught up with him. "Hmmm..." She started joking around. "I'm guessing it won't be something good, Master."
He looked at her, joking around as she was, and said in a sarcastic voice, "No, Police Girl, it is never good when the Angel of Death is around...mwahahaha..." While looking at Seras, who was nodding with a chibified/serious face, he floated through the closed door to Walter's room, totally forgetting about -
WHAMMO!
- Seras. She walked full-force into the door, slamming her face into the paneling.
"Itaiiiii..." She groaned and rubbed her nose, opening the door and walking in the old-fashioned way. Alucard noticed her come in, noting her unusually flushed face.
"Mwahahaha...Police Girl, you should have walked through the door...not into..." He looked at her some more, until he noticed Walter standing in front of them both as if to say something. "...Huh..." He looked a tad confused, and Alucard walked over to him.
Seras' eyes narrowed over to Alucard, giving him the 'look-of-death.'
"Har har..." She laughed sarcastically, seeming quite perturbed as she sat in a chair near the door, rubbing her nose. She left Alucard to do his thing, as she looked over at the door, examining it for a dent...it seemed like she could have left a biggie that would have been shaped like her face.
Alucard walked over to Walter. "You have something for me...?"
Walter nodded; taking a box from his bookshelf that was pretty small in size and presented it to Alucard. "Due to the invasion of the freaks, a new type of bullet was made for your Jackal 454 Magnum...They are now plutonium-tipped, good for an added explosion to them."
Alucard looked at the bullets. "Hmmm...That'll do, Walter...anything for Seras?"
She looked up at the sound of her name, a hand over her nose.
Walter looked over at Seras, sitting by the door, and held out a much bigger case. "Yes...Victoria...to help with your halconnen, I have made a small adjustment to it, making it faster-acting, and lighter, for easy access...and the bullets are all in there at once, no more loading..." Seras' face lit up at that bit of news. "...The bullets are mythril-tipped and are blessed by the local priest...mind, not Anderson, of course." He added the last few words for a chuckle.
She stood up and bolted to the other side of the room where he and her master stood, her eyes wide and grateful. "Sugoi ne..." She examined everything, like a young child in a toy store. "Arigato gozaimasu, Walter."
Walter looked at her with acceptance. "Then everything is right..." He now looked at both Alucard and Seras. "Make good use of these, the super freaks are gathering to do something soon..."
Alucard looked at his weapons and Seras'. "Mwahahaha..." He smiled evilly. "These are splendid, Walter."
Seras held her lighter halconnen, tossed it in the air, and caught it – surprising everyone by this action. "Wow...this is great!" She looked at Walter. "No more reloading, huh?" She grinned. "Even better..."
