AN: Characters OOC. Warning: FLUFF!! I own nothing. 'Nuff said.

It was the middle of a Tuesday evening, not yet eleven p.m. And all ex-police officer Seras Victoria could think was, "Oh, no, not again."

For yes, dear reader, she was bored again. And after a disastrous attempt to preach the Good Word to groups of random people1 she found her public speaking skills to be less-than-adequate. Or that could have just been the fact that she blazed in out of nowhere with bright red eyes and fangs.

Eh, whatever.

She found herself wandering the streets. She had no idea where she was. However an interesting thing turned up…it was a pair of women arguing. Seras tilted her head. One was blonde, and appeared to be in disgust with the smaller, black-haired woman. The one being yelled at was quivering and wearing a huge pair of thick glasses. Seras moved in closer.

"…and vere are ve now, you idiot?! Ve're in London! Zat ist ze absolute last time I ever let you read zat map for me!"

Seras paused. The smaller one responded.

"Heinkel, it's not my fault, I was just holding it upside-down…"

"You stupid little brat!" she appeared to come down out of her rage. "Vell, ve can't sleep in ze streets. Let's go to see if ve can find a hotel."

"And hope Iscariot will reimburse us…" said the smaller one.

Iscariot. Seras blinked. Before she knew what she was doing, she was running towards them.

"Hey, hey you there! Ladies!" they turned to see her. The smaller one gasped.

"A vampire! Eeeeek!"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you…" Seras trailed off helplessly, coming to a halt about two meters away.

"Ja, ja, zat's vat zey all say." said Heinkel. "Yumiko. Let out Yumie."

Yumiko paled. "Oh, no, not her…please…"

Seras held up her hands. "I'm unarmed, I don't want to hurt you. I overheard that you were lost and looking for a place to stay…I know a decent hotel not too far from here. I'll pay for it, too2."

Both Heinkel and Yumiko stared at her. Then Yumiko smiled shyly.

"Uh, thank you?"

"You're welcome. It's this way." she gestured to the right. Turning and walking down the street, she led them to the hotel.

Heinkel was suspicious but at least she looked relieved when Seras handed them a pair of keys to their rooms.

"You're down that hallway." she pointed to the left. "And breakfast is free, served at seven to eight in the morning. You should check out by nine." Seras gestured to the desk.

Heinkel nodded and stomped off to her room. Yumiko, however, stayed in the front hallway. She followed Seras into the lounge where they sat down on a pair of opposite chairs.

Yumiko signalled for some coffee. As she cooled it down, Seras blinked.
"Aren't you tired?"
Yumiko shook her head. "Heinkel would probably yell at me for hours. Besides, I'm not tired." she smiled. "So, I'm guessing you're not a renegade."

"I work for the Hellsing organization."

"Ah." Yumiko said. "You know we're from Iscariot."

"Doesn't matter really. We're both basically working towards the same thing. A world that doesn't need either one."

Yumiko grinned. "I guess you're right."

"I'm really bored."

"Huh?"

"I said, I'm really bored. Hey," she crooked her head. "What do you do when you're bored?"

"Me?" asked Yumiko shyly as she sipped her coffee. "I…" she paused. Visions of jumping up and down on a gigantic feather bed, throwing pillows and laughing filled her head. She blushed and smiled.

Seras laughed. "I can read minds, you know."

Yumiko blushed harder. "Uh…"

"Oh don't worry, I just caught that image. I used to love jumping up and down on my parent's bed to wake them up in the morning." Seras smiled sadly. "I never…I don't think I'll ever jump on a bed again."

Yumiko smiled widely. Pulling the vampire's arm, she yanked her out of the common room.

"Yay! This is so much fun!"

Laughter. The room was filled with it. The huge bed was eiderdown, and the pillows were currently being used as weapons in a fight to the finish.

Finally, exhausted, Yumiko collapsed onto the bed and began to snore. Seras laughed and went over to the small couch that was at the side. Lying down, she decided to take a quick nap…

Yeah, sure. A quick nap…
