Well this chapter surprised me but I liked it. For all you AxI shippers I
think it will be a welcomed surprise. I hope they are fairly well in
character. By the way this story is only anime based. I don't know how to
read Japanese so I don't know what happens in the manga. If I did though I
would incorporate what I could. I may have to go back latter and change
some things in the story but it's all in good fun. Well enjoy and Of course
I don't own Hellsing so please don't sue me. Thanks.
******************************
Integral sat at her desk mulling over reports of Dr. Caldwell's disappearance. It would not have been particularly distressing were it not for Dr. Caldwell's recent discoveries. Ms. Jean Caldwell was at the forefront of genetic recombinant engineering. Her work with plasmid vectors was revolutionizing the medical field.
Substantial somatic cell reconfiguration was now possible by using bacterial plasmids reconstructed with specific genes through restriction fragmentation. These bacterial plasmids could then be infected with viruses programmed to release the same restriction enzymes. The particular gene could then be packaged into the new virus rather then being hydrolyzed. The new virus carrying the gene of interest can then be reprogrammed to attack red blood cells infecting them with the gene of interest. This gene can be taken into the host DNA in a lysogenic state. In time the number of cells carrying the gene could be sufficient for bodily expression.
This new and marvelous technology could save the lives of millions of genetically deficient people. However, Integral also knew in the wrong hands it had the power to destroy lives. The Millennium group had to be frothing at the mouth to get a hold of this technology. The freaks engineered using chips were excellent copies but they were no match for the real thing. Despite their best efforts the Millennium group's freaks were no match for true vampires. Alucard himself had proved that time and time again.
Yet, now they had an advantage. How long before they will cast aside their silicon attempts and cut straight to the blood, Integral thought to herself.
Wind began to blow heavily throughout the room bringing in an all to familiar chill. Alucard stepped into the farthest corner of the room in front of Integral's giant windows. It was now nightfall and he was no longer inhibited to the dank shadows of her office. "So I see you're starting to grasp the big picture my Master."
As Alucard said the word Master it rolled off his tongue snake like. An all- knowing smile played about his mouth irritating Integral to no end. "You know gloating is bad form Alucard and rather disrespectful considering you're my employee!"
"Rather generous of you to consider me as staff Integral and not merely as your slave but maybe I'm praising you for being so clever. After all I can see things easily that most humans never will. So there is really no shame in catching on to the problem just now. You would have figured it out sooner of latter with or without my help."
"That's enough Alucard. I don't have time for your endless repartee. You're quite right we have a serious problem on our hands and not a lot of time for vacillation. I'm afraid there is really no way of knowing whether or not Dr. Caldwell has been turned into a vampire or freak but my guess is that she probably not in the land of the living any more. Since we don't really have any idea where they could of taken her I'm going to need you to be in your best form."
Alucard began to chuckle happily. His smile spread wide exposing each of his teeth into a devilish grin. "My very best form Master! Does that mean I'll have all my powers to myself."
"No, level two restrictions will be released for now. I expect you to behave Alucard. This is a very complicated situation and I want it resolved."
"Hmm, and tell me Master what will you do if I do not behave." Alucard strolled over behind Integral's chair. He leaned his arm down pressing her right shoulder lightly and leaning his head to her left.
Integral stared into his eyes for a moment. His face was dangerously close to her own. The situation was far too intimate for Integral's liking. She brushed his hand away and rather then over responding she decided to scold him like a child instead. "Then I suppose you will go to bed hungry," she said coldly.
He laughed slightly but he did not back off as Integral had hoped. Instead the hand Integral had brushed off her shoulder now snaked down her side grabbing her waist tightly. "Is that all?"
"What the hell do you think you're doing Alucard?" Integral looked at him icily but she tried not to move knowing full well the sick pleasure he would receive feeling her struggle and squirm to get free.
As he looked at her for just a moment his face softened and he moved in slowly toward her brushing his lips lightly across her own. He could feel her heart beat across his chest as it began to increase. For a moment he let himself remember the taste of her. That damned awful taste of hazelnut cigars flooded back into him as she submitted to his kiss. They were like two indomitable waves crushing into each other. He could feel her blood vessels dilate increasing her blood flow and giving off extra energy as heat. He wanted to bite into her delicate flesh and drink her. Instead he brought his arm up from around her waist embracing her breast roughly.
Integral jarred back from his rough touch throwing his arm off her. It fell limply and this time Alucard submitted to Integral. The rolls had been switched back again into their proper place. Alucard stood us and backed away from Integral.
"You taste just like blood," Integral said dryly. "You always tasted like blood."
He looked at her almost sadly and asked her again what he would ask her until the day she would die. "Why don't you drink my blood Integral?"
"I will not and I can not. I will not mix my blood with you do you understand!"
"It's already to late for that Integral you have already had my child but you know that is no consolation prize. I want you Integral. I love you."
"Love me," she scoffed at his statement angrily. "You don't know the meaning of that word you monster. 'Love me.' If you loved me you would understand why we can never be together Alucard."
"You only torture yourself Master. You did not have to reject our son or your own desires. You talk of the Hellsing pride and how it dictates all you do but I'll tell you Integral, Hellsing will be nothing before you're done with it. I'll have no Master to serve once you're gone. This Jacquelyn is not fit to walk these halls and Winston will never be able to lead this organization as long as you continue to deny him. So what will you do when your pride crumbles around you at your death bed."
"So you'd rather serve your son then is that it. Will you call him Master for an eternity Alucard!"
"If you knew you would never leave this institution to Winston you should have married and had a child with another man Integral."
"Shut up Alucard and get out of my office," Integral screamed but he was already gone. He had said what he wanted to say and he would say it again and again. Maybe he did love her in a selfish kind of way that only such a creature as Alucard could love. Worse still maybe she loved him too. He was right she had never married. She could have easily chosen a husband but the truth was she had only ever wanted to be with Alucard and she could never have left Hellsing to a child she might have had with another man.
So they were both damned. She and Alucard would both rot in hell but he was wrong. Hellsing would live on and Jacquelyn would be a good heir. Integral would find a place for Winston. He seemed like a fine boy really and he was a Hellsing. It would work itself out Integral told herself.
Integral breathed in heavily trying to calm herself. Her body was shaking and she needed a cigar. She opened her desk drawer taking out one of her finest Cubans. Usually she would save a cigar like this one for a special occasion but she needed it desperately. Pulling out her favorite lighter she puffed on the cigar inhaling to sweet smoke into her lungs. Her hands instantly stopped shaking and she finally felt at ease.
She had never in her whole life been so shaken up she thought to herself. No that wasn't true when she had first learned she was carrying that monsters baby she had been in a worse state and she had not been able to smoke either. However, that was a lifetime ago nearly thirteen years and it had worked out.
Integral picked up her phone pressing her first line. She was comforted by the familiar voice that greeted her as it always did.
"Sir Hellsing how may I be of service to you."
"Walter I'm sending Alucard out to deal with Dr. Caldwell and this whole Millennium mess. I'd like you to send Ceres with him please and make sure she's been properly briefed on the situation. I was meaning to tell Alucard to do whatever he has to incase Dr. Caldwell is still alive and human. I don't want her to die on the off chance she is not a freak or vampire.
"Yes Sir Integral of course."
"Oh and Walter."
"Yes Sir."
"Please send up a bottle of our finest bourbon."
"Yes Sir Hellsing."
