Chapter 7: Memory of Blood (Part1) The ones that do not Die.

The ones that do not die... the Immortals... alive forever.

Some call them Highlanders... others call them demons. Fact remains that they have a habbit to staying alive no matter what. Of course we all know that if the head is cut off they indeed die, and that all power inside of them goes into the immortal that killed him or her.

But that is a bit drastic. And not all immortals are capable of such forms of combat.

Like there are different kinds of humans, dogs and cats... there are indeed different versions of immortals. You have the standard Highlander, including the lighting shit. And then there are ones named Regenerators, they just keep coming back like hell. And cutting their heads will only slow them down. They need to be burned in order to kill them. Be sure to burn everything. It might still restore itself!

The third kind is a low life, a simple immortal. A Demon. They need to hunt to stay alive. They are much like Ghouls, but can think for themselves. Somewhat. They're not that smart actually. They only live in small regions of the earth, most of them underneath large cities. Any form of light is lethal for them, so make sure to bring a set of matches or a flashlight with you at night.

And finally an immortal can be a spiritual immortal. By some they are called angels. They can regenerated, and keep on living no matter what you do. Although you might think that once their bodies are cut up, burned, crushed and even drowned they should be dead. Yes. Their bodies are. The big problem you have once you think you killed one is that a stranger can very well one day stand in front of you and shoot your balls, just for the fun of it.

Well, guess who that could be! Yep, your spiritual immortal!

Their spirits (soul, mind whatever) can jump from their dead body into a newly born person. Slipping in their subconscious and waiting until they are triggered by an event that will activate their true power. Makes you wonder if you are ever safe from these guys right?

To be honest... They aren't that hateful or even have the will to battle and kill other people or immortals. Besides, there are only a handful of them orso. Every 200 to 400 years a new Spiritual immortal is born. But even that new immortal needs to be activated. Until then the immortal side of them stays asleep and they will have a pretty normal life and die like anyone else. The spiritual Immortals see it as a sport to find new spiritual immortals and then to trigger their immortal side.

By the last calculation there are

- 445,281 Highlanders

- 25,021 Regenerators (their kind is dying because they are hard to locate and can only be triggered once to become regenerators, so more and more regenerators are never triggered and die human)

- 2,357 Demon immortal

- 18 spiritual immortals and 20 non awaken spiritual immortals.

Question: What the hell does Gado have to do with Hellsing?!

Answer: Read next chapter, until then, please don't stop reading.

An old man sat inside a japanese shrine and looked at the stars. His attention was drawn away from the clear sky when a man in a long black coat walked towards him. He had noticed a change already but now was certain that the man came to see him.

"Daih... You are late."

"Sorry."

The man looked the old stargazer in the eyes and drew his sword. It was perfect, a true beauty. The black metal was indestructable, its weight balance in perfect harmony. The stargazer looked to his left. A woman was asleep peacefully. She looked like a priestess, but that was only from the outside. She was a normal woman at the shrine looking for a safe place because she was expecting a baby soon.

"Are you sure Daih, that you want to do this to this woman?"

"If I wish to save the one person that can save our destiny... yes."

"But... why now?"

"I need time to forget, to hide my immortal side deep within my mind, so that with my birth I don't remember a single thing. If I would awake as myself the other immortals would find me before I have a chance to find the legendary twin blooded angel!"

Daih looked the stargazer in the eyes and handed him the sword.

"Very well."

The old man held the sword in both of his hands and placed the point at Daih's heart.

"A last wish?"

"My name, make it an anagram of my current... Daih Go."

"Very well." And the old man pierced Daih with no mercy straight through his heart. Blood ran down the sword and the old man let go of the sword.

It had been done, Daih was gone, and the unborn would be the new Daih Go. As he walked back into his room he carried the sword with him. He decided to get some sleep. Tomorrow he would have to make some agreements with that woman about her child's name.

"Are you still awake master? Are you worried"

"No my dear young pupil, go to bed Ceras. You have your own problems right now little vampire. I am worried over the woman that just got here. I think I will send her away again."

"Why?" A very sleepy Ceras asked.

"Like you she came to seek shelter from people that were hunting her. But now she has visited our shrine, so I think I can arrange a new home for her at the coast of north japan."

"And as for you Ceras... Don't worry about Iscariot, they will not find you here."

"Thank you..."

As the old man put out the light Ceras could not help thinking about master, how he was taken down by Iscariot, how Lady Integra and Walter had to go underground, and how she was ordered to go back to Japan. A lot of things can happen once your enemy and allies turn against you if they decide they don't need you.

DAMN the round table and DAMN Iscariot! She thought while balling her fists. Right now she could take down an army with no problem, but that would do no good....

"At least master took out that annoying maxwell priest." And she fell asleep, inside the safe walls of an ancient japanese monestary... all alone... and with a tiny smile with the knowledge that not everything had been without reason.

*note from author:

1) I do not own Hellsing, Gonzo Digimation studio does

2) Gonzo said that they will not make a new episode of Hellsing... EVER

3) This is MY fan FICTION! So don't you dare and rip it!

Until next time with Chapter 8 Memory of Blood (part2) Meeting of 2 angels.
