Gah! It's been quite a while, and to all you readers, *bows* I'm very sorry for the delay! But the delay was for quite a good reason, a companion fic to this called Disregard, which highlights some of the forgotten aspects of both Disgrace and Dishonor. It's written in narrative form, and is mildly humorous, especially the chapters of "From 666 to 777" and "Should Police Chapter's Reverse Side Circumstance", though "Hatred Guy of Sinfulness" should give all you Harker-bashers out there something to enjoy.

Random Disclaimers- I still don't own any of the series or manga characters, and I still own Harker, Devries, Anika, and the lot that aren't in the series or manga. I'd like to see someone else's take on one of my characters once, so please, use them, but tell me about it first.

As always, reviews are appreciated.

Argetni, Father, Lillith, Walter, and whoever else may be reading this,

I am curious to see if you still check your old email address, blasphemous vampire Argetni. This shall be a test to see how smart we both are about how to deal with each other. Then again, if Walter is checking email activity of the Hellsing membership as per Father's usual orders, he will alert you to the activity of your former account.
I assume that because I have felt Seras Victoria's presence separate from both yours and Alucard's that Anika has told my secret and has not insisted that I specifically stated that I do not wish to be followed on my journey. Or perhaps it is because of your vampiric and Hellsing family pride that you cannot stomach the fact that I do not wish to be in the service of the Organization, so you will drag me back no matter my opinion.

I was fully certain that you of all creatures would be the most upset with my disappearance Argetni. Even though I have but known you for about a month's time, your motives are quite simple- to make certain that I do not make the same fool mistakes that you did, and to reclaim your former glory as a leader of Hellsing.
Shouldn't your supposed death during my birth have allowed you all the fame of any great Hellsing matriarch? The world believes that you died in the service of your Queen and your family. What higher honor could a woman receive?
Then again, you were never a woman.
Just like I was never a child.
You never allowed me the luxury of knowing fun, of what having friends my own age felt like, or of the normal, mundane drudgeries that high school girls deal with, such as boyfriends and dances. I was always taught to be an honorable child of Hellsing, the heir to the Organization, the next generation of Protestant Knights- to basically be Sir Integral Wingates Hellsing.
Father trained me from an early age with how to act civil, while Anika was allowed to be a child, to have friends, to date, to be altogether normal.
Perhaps that is why I must have my freedom.
Although, if you must send a search party after me, so be it.
Do not think this will be an easy search Argenti. You and your lot tend to forget that I possess powers similar to yours, and that I have ways of hiding myself in the shadows of the world.
In fact, even though I did not wish for a search party to be sent, this will be quite a fun test of my true abilities if I am to stay one move ahead of you and your comrades. I am certain that you know I am undefeated at both chess and shogi, so make your next move, Hellsing Organization.
I expect that you will forward this to practically everyone in the upper echelons of our glorious Organization, so to those incompetent dullards and Walter, I would like to inform you that if I am found and am forced to take the Organization against my will, there will be changes as to how every aspect from military training and tactics to the control and quartering of our pet vampires during my tenure.
Have a glorious day Hellsing membership.

Devries
