Well it's been a long time and all this started because I was really bored.
I'm still bored but my life got kind of busy. I got through my first
semester of college and I'm sure by taking so much freaking time to update
I've lost 9/10th of my fan base. I'm really sorry you guys. I love Alucard
and Integral and AI belong together after all LOL.
Integral: What's in a name you do realize most of the people reading this fic don't know ai means love in Japanese. Hell most of them don't even know that Japan is Nihon.
Alucard: That was random Integral and randomness pisses off readers. As does waiting 6 months to update What's in a name. Now type!
******************************************************************
Winston stared at Alucard utterly perplexed. He opened his mouth to speak but he didn't really know what to say.
Alucard's expression remained as numb as his emotions. "Abraham Van Hellsing was clever man, but he was human and susceptible to human frailties like. greed and. power. He had the wits to outsmart me but not the righteousness to destroy me. So for my own carelessness and perhaps his as well I became his slave or rather a slave to his blood."
"His blood. my blood too," Winston stared at the veins in his hand "but how?"
"The only true pacts in life are sealed with blood; the pledge between a man and a woman, even the covenant between you and your God." Alucard laughed a little. "After all blood is the source of life and life is in the blood, even my life. I chose to sell my soul for my power. It's not so strange that I would sell my freedom to keep my life or rather existence."
"You're not really explaining anything Alucard!" Winston stammered flustered.
"That's not what you wanted to say Win." Alucard stared down at his son who was far more his than Abraham's. "You didn't mind throwing the word around in front of the police girl but when it's just you and me alone the finality of it frightens you doesn't it."
Winston's face soured as he responded in a manner reflective of his youthful age. "It's not like you're dying to hear the word father from my lips. Anyway I'm nothing special if what you implied earlier about Stoker is true and you're the real Dracula who am I in comparison to any of your other children. You're the father of all this hell and it's your damn sins hanging over my head!"
"I never said I was Dracula. That's just a name and a myth. Anyway I didn't create hell your God did."
The cling clang of torrential rain could be heard pounding hard on the roof, a hundred thousand beats a second. It felt like one cliché nightmare and Winston hung his head in resignation but he wasn't ready to end the conversation yet. "All right. I don't need to know how you came to serve the Hellsing's. I'll accept that you owe them some great debt or blood oath as you said but if you won't tell me about Abraham I want to know about Integral. I can't quite picture the two of you ever holding warm feelings for each other."
"You're mother is the only one who ever had even a grain of Abraham in her. I suppose initially I wanted to break her as though I would finally be destroying Abraham." Alucard's words came out idly as though he had never given the subject much thought. "I suppose in time I realized Integral was greater than even the Hellsing family patriarch and I have come to understand her. It was never my intention for something such as you to happen. I wanted to make Integral my partner in life perhaps after a few hundred years we would have grown bored of each other but for a time I would have had the equality I have longed for over the centuries. Of course she will never accept my offer of immortality."
"That still doesn't explain how I came into the world." There was a bitter edge to Win's voice that pricked at Alucard ever so slightly. It was obvious that Alucard's blunt words cut deeper than any blade.
Alucard sighed heavily. "Sex is a very base desire but Integral is still human and I. I have my urges." Winston cringed but Alucard continued. "I believe Integral has and always will long to be with me but her pride will never allow her to accept my offer or you and though it kills me I will obey her wish. You however will be the next heir of Hellsing regardless of what Integral wants."
"Why didn't she kill me?" Win's words were laced with a pain that could never be felt by a being such as Alucard. "Why did she give birth to me?"
"To kill you Winston, nothing short of taking her own life would have sufficed, but I would never, NEVER have allowed that to happen. Winston I suppose you won't believe me when I say this but Integral feels for." Alucard took a moment before he continued. "You are the only blood she really has. You filled a place in her heart that was barren since the day her father died. She may see you as a great shame to the eyes of the rest of the world and her family but to her own eye's I cannot fully fathom what she feels."
Winston stepped forward looking at Alucard as though he were some foreign being. "You really think she loves me?"
Alucard looked into Winston's eyes and felt far too mawkish for his tastes. "I didn't care for what happened last night and I didn't care for what happened this morning. What Integral feels for you exactly I don't know but I do know what I feel!" Alucard's eyes glazed over behind his orange tinted lenses and Winston unconsciously stepped back from Alucard's wrath. "You'll be starting school soon, which I assume won't be a problem for you. However, I'd advise you not to neglect your work regardless of whatever is occurring in this home. Events, such as what happened last night, are not far and few between. I will also be continuing your reeducation of demonic life. You are not a human so it is best that you begin to accept what you are." Alucard turned to walk away shifting on his right heal but upon taking a step he paused. "One more thing as long as you are under this roof you will most likely be expected to attend Protestant services I assume you won't have any problem with that. There is nothing in the Catholic cannon that forbids attending other churches as long as your faith remains with the Church."
"I can't believe what you're asking me to do." Winston stood with his shoulders slumped. Alucard's longwinded speech had left him dazed and as unsure of himself as he had felt in the morning.
"I won't be asking this of you, Integral will and if you ever hope for her to hold any affection for you I wouldn't mention the Catholic Church. She hates it."
Winston felt flustered at Alucard as he watched the arrogant vampire fade away without even bothering to wait for a rebuttal. It seemed Alucard was becoming good at hitting all the right nerves. It was true Win wanted Integral to care for him but that seemed impossible. She had basically abandoned him after all and it would go against his principals to lie about his faith or neglect it any way. Besides he didn't want to be manipulated by Alucard. Just the thought of feeding into Alucadr's arrogance by doing what he asked drove Winston insane.
Win's emotions were overwhelming him and he felt as though they would swallow him alive. Alucard only wanted Integral to make Winston her heir so that he could loop hole his way out of his indentured servitude. So here Win was again. As unloved as he had been in his home in Galway but now someone wanted to use him as a pawn.
Not knowing where to turn Win slowly slipped to his knees as he had done many times before and called out to a power that in his mind was far greater than Alucard's..
*************************************************************
Alucard sat idly in his dungeon sipping on the blood he loved so dearly but the chilled blood was most unpalatable to him. After his discussion with Winston he longed for the sweet warm blood of his youth. The blood he drank so freely before he had ever involved himself with Van Hellsing? No Alucard mused slowly he longed for the sweet blood of the Hellsing's themselves.
His mind wandered back to Winston slowly. Alucard could sense what the boy was doing without even wanted too and it made the vampire ill. Praying to his foolish God, Alucard thought to himself. Well let him do it as long as he chooses to do as I ask.
Then there was a gentle knocking at his door and a figure entered that Alucard was expecting. Before the door even squeaked Alucard greeted his guest.
"Walter how good of you to visit me," Alucard smiled and leaned back leisurely in his chair finishing off his glass.
Walter closed the door behind him slowly not exposing the impatience he had felt most of the night. "I trust you had time to meet with Sir Integral's guest this evening Alucard."
"Her guest?" Alucard scoffed considerably. "Yes we've had time to discuss a few things but fear not Walter he hasn't been enlightened in any great way. Certainly not any more than you have been."
"Alucard," Walter spoke in a commanding tone he did not use very often with the vampire "he seems to be a very nice boy. What's more he is a guest in Sir Integral's home and you have no right to take him with you on life and death missions."
"You have no say in this business Walter. I'm quite certain my Master has not discussed that boy with you in any detail and I'm certain that you're quite unwilling to ask her for details. So until Integral chooses to tell you about Winston don't discuss him with me."
Walter did not flinch once as Alucard's voice grew more and more enraged. "You are correct Alucard but I am a human being and I see things that your demonic eyes will never be able to see. I won't allow you to hurt that boy do you understand me. Whatever the hell he is he has a human heart because I heard it beating when I removed that bullet from his chest last night."
"It's not my intention to hurt him only thicken his skin a bit."
Walter looked at Alucard for any grain of sincerity but he found none.

I doubt I'll update again for another six months but the next few chapters should actually be kind of fun so who knows.
