X A Little Break X

By The Redundant Goddess...

{Where?}

Integra gave a rare full-hearted smile as she finished her packing. Her crystal clear blue eyes sparkled as they studied her bag. Making sure everything she needed for her little holiday was there. Her mental checklist was as follows:

Clothes

Check!

Glasses

Check!

Shoes

Check!

Cigars

Check! (Although she didn't pack as many as you would think, since she figured the break would help her smoke less)

Berretta

Double check!

Yes, everything was there. The tall sharply dressed blonde found it hard to contain a grin. She was really looking forward to this holiday, although it was only for five days, Integra couldn't wait to get in her car and go. Oh yes she could see it now. Just me, my favourite books and a glass of port; Ahhhhhhhhhhhh heaven. Simply heaven!

{X}

The day after her announcement had been interesting to say the least. Walter, after clearing up the spilt tea and cracked china, was very happy to hear his beloved boss take a break from work. In fact he was so happy, he offered to pack for her. Of course Integra didn't except his offer and said thank you any way. There were some things she didn't mind her faithful retainer packing, but her holiday bag was not one of them.

Seras Victoria was also another person who was exceedingly happy to hear of her master's master little trip away. Although she was a bit worried when she heard the news from the old angel of death. So she asked Integra again and again if it was true, which the taller blonde found somewhat amusing and somewhat annoying.

"For the tenth time Seras, yes I am going to go away and no I am not under any dark magic, the influence of drugs or anything else you can think of. I am simply taking a break since there isn't anything else to take care of at the moment."

And when the young vampire girl was about to interrupt, Integra rolled her eyes and lit up a fresh cigar.

" Contrary to popular belief I am not a complete workaholic. I do occasionally like a break from work. I am human after all."

The smaller blonde smiled at that and then started a massive rant about where Sir Integra was going, what Sir Integra was planning to do and was she going to bring her back a present?

This line of questioning had given Integra something to think about.

Where was she actually going to go?

As she sat in her office that night, Integra, as she often did, stared at her Fathers large portrait. Where could I go? She pondered to herself, whilst she lit her 15th cigar that day. Her desk had become a war zone of print outs of possible holiday destinations. All of them were inside the UK due to A) Still being watched by the round table even though her charges had been cleared and B) because she just couldn't trust Alucard to behave himself, even if she ordered him to hell and back. That vampire could get into trouble even if was asleep in his coffin during the middle of the day.

"That's not very nice Master, are you saying I couldn't behave myself without your almighty presence?"

A rich voice mocked from the dark shadows. The usual maniacal chuckle followed close behind as the large form of Alucard materialised in front of his unimpressed master.

Integra took a long puff of her cigar and exhaled.

"I am not even going to dignify that with a response." She drawled. Oh yes, Integra really wanted to get away.

The red clad vampire just grinned his usual manic grin. His fangs glinted in what little light there was in Integra's office.

" Perhaps then I shouldn't point out you just did, but no matter, you are only human after all right?"

The young Hellsing, though accustomed to this wonderful exchange with her pet, really wasn't in the mood, and so wanted to put this conversation to bed as fast as Integra possibly could so she could get back to thinking where the hell she was going. The blonde adjusted her glasses.

"What do you want Alucard?"

Another dark chuckle escaped from his ever-twisted lips.

"I just wanted to know if you had decided upon where you were jetting off to, as it were."

"And if I have?"

"Have you considered what security measures you are going to take to protect yourself while you're away?"

The blonde gave a short, sharp sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose with her gloved fingers.

"I have already taken this up with Walter, my security arrangements have been made clear and have been agreed upon. You would have known that if you ever cared to check your inbox."

"Oh, you know me and technology Master, and besides, I rather like to hear such news from the horses mouth."

A frown broke out across Integra's delicate yet stern features. Alucard was pushing his luck and they both knew it, however the blonde didn't want to rise to his bait. No, she just took another long drag on her cigar and glared at him with her oh-so-too blue eyes.

"Alucard..."

"Perhaps I should come with you just in case." Asked Alucard.

"No!" She yelled.

"I could be your faithful hound at your heals..."

"NO!"

At this the vampire frowned and raised an eyebrow.

"Your Father did."

"My Father was my Father..."

"And what shall I do when my Master is off gallivanting around the country without her faithful servant to keep her safe and in good company, hmmmmmm?"

Now it was Integra's turn to raise an eyebrow as she stubbed out her cigar.

"I am hardly the gallivanting type Alucard and your company is exactly the reason why I am going away." She answered gruffly. "I am only going to be away for five days, I am sure you can think of something to do while I am gone. Maybe take a little break yourself I don't care! However you are, in no uncertain terms, not to disturb my rest is that clear? If anything happens that neither, Walter or any other officers here at the organisation can handle, then Walter himself will contact me. Is that understood?"

The dark haired vampire nodded and Integra smirked.

"Good, now why don't you go an bother the Police Girl or something while I pack."

"As you wish, my Master."

And with that Alucard faded from her office. Integra leaned back into her large chair and stretched. Oh how she loved to order that monster about. The blue-eyed blonde lit yet another cigar and smiled up to her painted version of her Father. Oh he would have been proud of that one. She thought happily. And then it happened, a flood of happy childhood memories of Integra and her Father on holiday in the country.

And with that Integra knew where she would go.

{X}

With her bags packed, checked and checked again Integra made her farewells to Walter and Seras and some other Hellsing members before setting off in her favourite car. The old dark green soft-top jaguar, which her Father had promised to hand down to the blonde when she was old enough, was an excellent car to go on holiday in. With a couple of well timed hoots and waves, Integra set off to her Fathers old retreat in the county side. Little did she know what would happen.
