Alucard's Familiar: "The revisions in this chapter were minimal to none, I liked how this chapter was done, but I did detail some of the situations a bit more to make it pleasing to the minds eye. "

Seras: "Alucard's Familiar doesn't own Hellsing or Moulin Rouge."

Integra: "Make it stop!"

Chapter 4

A month had passed since Integra had gotten the letter stating her arranged marriage with Maxwell. She had seen him a few time since then, but had never stayed around long enough for him to try and start a conversation with her. She thought that maybe if she avoided him, his interest in her would go away, and maybe the Queen and the Pope would call off the arrangement. At the moment, nothing had worked.

What also worried Integra, was that she hadn't seen much of Alucard either. Though there were more missions for him to do now, he had never given up the chance to come bother her during the early hours of the evening before his missions.

Now her evenings were silent, and she only saw the tall vampire when she gave him his mission, when he reported back in to give her the details of the fight, and that it had been taken care of.

He was so distant that Integra began to withdraw her feelings for him. She didn't want to, but his absence was causing her rethink her ideas about how he felt. Had it just been a phase he had been going through? He did those often, and she remembered when he had gone through a faze were he was obsessed with Hamtaro. It had been scary, and Integra hadn't gone down to the dungeons for fear there would be a wave of the furry rodents sitting in the hallways.

Now she was also putting her feelings for Alucard aside and viewing what was best for her organization. She would have to marry Maxwell, though she didn't want to, she made it out that she didn't care and said that with was for the good of the two organizations.

"Where are you Alucard?" Integra muttered to herself.

To her surprise, Alucard appeared before her, "Taking care of a little business my Master, is there something you need of me?"

"No, I've just been wondering where you have been these passed few weeks," Integra tried to start a light conversation.

"Here and there," Alucard answered, trying to sidestep the question. "There's an old castle down in the forest near an old rundown village that I have been looking through. Its occupants are, interesting."

"What are they?" Integra asked

"A band a of true young vampires who feed off of one another and the surrounding wildlife. They are like Seras, unskilled and not sure what to do with themselves. Since they haven't caused any damage, I have let them live and observed them go about their nightly routines. In these passed few days, I've been letting them catch glimpses of me. They are afraid of me because they know who I am and who I work with."

"Be sure they don't get any stronger Alucard," Integra said coldly. "If they start to, kill them on sight."

"Yes Master," Alucard said. He had also left out that he had been speaking with the young vampires. They were a social bunch who enjoyed the little company they had and most did not feed on humans. One had gotten up enough courage to go down to the local hospital and go to the Senior Citizens Ward. There he was able to speak with some of the residents, but out their illnesses, find out if they were in pain, and asked them if they wanted to be free of it. If they said they were ready to die, he would feed off of them, then slip an extra strong dose of sleeping medicine into their IVs. It would kill them so they wouldn't become ghouls, and it would feel like they had just fallen asleep.

He knew more about them than he let on to Integra because now he had a group of vampires he could associate with that were trying to learn to be what they had become. Instead of keeping the conversation on it though, Alucard changed the conversation.

"Do you still wish it weren't happening?" He asked, he knew her mind was changing about the marriage.

"Shut up Alucard," Integra muttered. "We've been over this before, it's for the good of the Hellsing Organization nothing else." Integra glared at him. "Besides, maybe it will teach you some tolerance."

"What?" Alucard asked.

"Maxwell will be staying with us for a few months after the wedding, then he will return to Rome," Integra answered.

"Well, we know what will be happening in that period of time now don't we," Alucard muttered.

"I don't like the idea either Alucard," Integra told him as she crossed her arms. "But what can we do?"

"Say you're sterile?" Alucard asked.

"To find that out we would have to try," Integra said as she opened her drawer and stared down at the pistol, wagering whether to use it or not. She had gone back to her usual self now, but Alucard had not, and was still trying to bring the subject of their love up, mostly at night when she was trying to sleep.

Alucard watched the expression on her face change as she opened her drawer. He decided to do what he had been meaning to for that passed week, just to see if his efforts were worth it anymore.

"Never knew, I could feel like this," he sang.

"Oh not this again," Integra mumbled.

"It's like I've never seen the sky before. Want to vanish inside your kiss, everyday I love you more and more." He kept on.

"Then vanish and don't bother me," Integra yelled at him.

"Listen to my heart can you hear it sing? Telling me to give you everything."

"You're heart is as silent as stone," Integra growled.

"Seasons may change, winter to spring, but I love you, until the end of time."

"You've got eternity to wait!" Integra shouted.

"Come what may," Alucard sang.

"Right, come what may," Integra mumbled.

"Come what may," Alucard sang again.

"I think this was the song that annoyed me the most throughout the whole movie!" She told him.

"I will love you, until my dying day," Alucard finished.

"You're already dead!" Integra pulled out her gun and shot him out of the room.

Alucard ran through the door and into the hallway, struck dumb by the flying bullets and left wondering why she had changed her attitude toward him so quickly.

"Did Integra yell at you again?" Walter asked as he walked up.

"Shut up old man." Alucard said as he turned and disappeared.

***

Integra sat at her desk with her head in her arms. She hadn't wanted to do that, but driving him out was the only way she could tell him no. She was too proud, and she wouldn't let him see her cry again.

Walter walked in a moment later with a frown on his face, "It was for his own good."

Integra raised her head and settled it in her hand, "I have accepted my fate, and I understand that it is for the good of the organization, but why HIM of all people do I have to fall in love with?"

"Because you two are strangely meant for one another," Walter said. "Romeo and Juliet, demon and angel, servant and master."

"I am hardly angelic Walter," Integra said.

"Against Alucard, even you appear harmless," Walter said as he put a hand on her shoulder. "It's just one of those things that we are forbidden to have."

"I can't even have a day off," Integra mumbled.

"No, unfortunately you seemed to have missed out in the goodies in life," Walter frowned as he gave her shoulder and affectionate squeeze.

"Maybe my life will be shorter, so I won't have to live with nothing but this organization," Integra said.

"Don't wish for that?" Walter said.

"I know, but I can think about it," Integra said as she looked up at him before scowling back down at the rest of her paperwork.

Something snapped and Integra felt her chest compress as she was thrown back in her chair, hard.

"Sir Integra, what happened?" Walter was confused and worried at the action.

She gripped her chest, but the pain was everywhere, "I feel like I just got hit by a truck." She felt like something was missing, empty, hanging untied. "Oh no."

"What's wrong?" Walter asked again.

"Alucard broke his level five seal," Integra panted, then she was thrown up against her chair again, "Ahh, fourth!"

"You must replace them, quickly," Walter said.

Integra stood painfully from her desk and stumbled to the open area of her office and stood there with her arms at her side. She then raised her arms up a little and mumbled something in a different language, to Walter is sounded like Latin, and the seal appeared underneath her. Two of the five lines of the pentagram were gone, and a third was fading. Integra mentally clamped a hold on the third level seal and it solidified on the seal underneath her. She then began replacing the fourth level seal, using the magic that ran through the Hellsing blood.

Sweat dripped from her hair as the fourth seal was finally reconstructed and fell into place, creating a missing line on the pentagram. Now she concentrated on reconstructing the fifth one. She weaved magic into strips and weaved those strips into the magic binds that kept the level in place and dropped in seal back into alignment. The pentagram glowed as a whole and then faded and disappeared, giving the room and feeling of cold emptiness. It was a massive temperature drop for Integra, the seal having risen the temperature of the room and her body. With instant change in degree her body faltered and she dropped to the ground as she pulled herself out of the trance the magic had put her in. Her vision spun and her stomach heaved, but she forced both of those things to fix themselves and found Walter kneeling next to her.

"Are you all right?" He asked with a worried look in his face.

"I'll manage," she answered as she stood, her limbs feeling numb, "I have to find him, and I need to do it by myself, tonight."

"Why?" Walter asked.

"Because I started this whole mess when a pushed him away." Integra said. "I know where he is. I'll need a horse though, he would suspect a car or a helicopter. Have it ready for me in half an hour."

"Yes sir," Walter said, and ran to do her bidding.

***

Integra changed into black jeans, black shirt, and pulled on a leather riding jacket. For the first time she wished her hair was black, making her nearly invisible in the dark. She knew he was hiding with the young group of vampires, and that made it all the more easier to track him down. She wanted to get as close as she could on horse back, and be able to sneak in to where Alucard was without being seen by anyone.

She then sat on her bed and thought about what she would say to him when she found him. Would she apologize? No, that wasn't like her and Alucard would probably make fun of her. If he tried and succeeded in breaking the seals again, he would be free from Hellsing, then getting him back would be a real problem.

She stood with a sigh. She would have to think about what she would say when the time came. Now she needed to gather the rest of her things together to leave. She grabbed her gun and put securely in the holster under her shirt and slipped a silver knife into a sheath in her boot before walking out the door
