*hugs Harker* Poor guy. I love you if no one else does. And trust me. . .
.there ARE plans for Harker. Many, many plans which will remain secret
until the time is right to post them in a chapter, but alas, that time is
not now.
Same old disclaimers. Oh, and if anyone has a problem with the content of the previous chapter being too graphic, let me know. I'll de-lime the fic if needed, but since a kiss alone is not enough to warrant a NC-17 rating, I believe it is fine, though maybe I should kick the rating up to R to be safe. What do you think?
So that's my question for the reviewers. . . .should the kiss be pulled and should the rating be higher. . . . answer via reviews!

Something is wrong with Devries. I cannot explain what has happened to my sister to allow for such a rapid change in her disposition, but it is quite frightening to have seen Devries smiling and chatting happily about what she does each day after school or just general comments like the weather when my sister used to never speak to me outside of formalities and she never once would have smiled in her life, even for photographs to send to our grandparents.
Maybe my big sister has finally found a boyfriend to soften her callous heart, and the strong yet gentle touches given by a man's hand have made her want to be more feminine and less cold to the world. I can only hope that this is the case, because Devries really does need a man in her life. She might not be as much of an uptight bitch then.
After I finished my homework tonight, I headed to Devries' study where I found her humming some classical tune as she flipped through one of her huge texts; this one was about God-granted talents given to mankind in order to help fulfill his Holy work. The only reason I knew what this book contained was because of the picture of the Sin Eater and the marks that he left on corpses she was staring at and tracing her finger over. As soon as I announced my presence, Devries snapped the book shut and slammed it on the table, but she was smiling as she turned around in her chair to look at me, so I asked why she has been so happy the past few days.
It was not surprising to hear my sister say that nothing was out of the ordinary with her life and studies, and that I should not worry about such trivial matters for if Father has his wish, I will be running the Hellsing Organization alongside Devries. If one were to compile a list of the most common responses that Devries gives to me for any question I ask, that one would top the list.
She then chided me for rolling my eyes and clucking my tongue at her reaction to my question. So perhaps Devries is only in a good mood because she wanted to use it against me in her daily torment, but I really believe that she finally found a boyfriend!
Turning back to her book, Devries asked me to move back to London so she could have her privacy in her final year of study in formal institutions, and so that I could be back near Ian for when I needed to be near my boyfriend and all that other rot that comes along with coupling.
I do not want to go back to England now that a new school year has already started. Besides, Father wanted the both of us to improve our Flemish and French, and what better way for that to happen then to send us to a country where those are the two majority languages. I do not wish to upset my father, although that seems of little concern to Devries as of late, since Walter keeps leaving phone messages for my sister to stop emailing nonsense to our father's account.
When I told Devries about the messages, she just rolled her eyes and clucked her tongue, the first adolescent-like reaction she's ever given anyone in her life. She doesn't think that father should care about what she says in her messages to him, but that he should be glad that she is actually writing to him.
I really hope that whoever my sister is dating, if she really is dating, will be strong enough to handle my sister's tirades and bitter cold attitude toward all but perfection from herself and others, because it is Devries' legacy to bear a child that will be the heir to Hellsing, just as her maternal line has done for generations, or something like that, and we need to keep any man that shows any interest in my sister interested long enough for him to finally propose to marry her.
I think I will have to become as devious of a little sister as Devries already thinks that I am. I must follow her in school and out of school to see what this boyfriend of hers is like, and if he is worthy of the time of a van Hellsing. If he is not worthy of my sister, then I will push him away from her, because Devries just does not need to be hurt by any man, for her relationships with them are nonexistent to fragile already, and the heir to Hellsing must not be in a same sex relationship- think of the scandal and the paparazzi that would be trying to break down our doors!
And if that doesn't work, I'll just have to unseal her journal.
