~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seras Victoria had been leading her troops in an assault on the west wing of the Hellsing Manor, hanging balloons, banners and other assorted decorations for Sir Integra's celebration. She now stood in the doorway of the room, hands on her hips as she passed a critical eye over the 'battle' thus far.

'Not to bad at all,' thought Seras, one tiny fang showing in a pleased grin, 'Even Sir Integra will have trouble finding fault with this room.' she thought proudly.

Red vampiric orbs suddenly narrowed as she detected a slight problem with a banner on the far wall. A frown appeared on the young vampires face as she pointed to the problem.

"Could someone straighten that banner, please? It's a tad to low on the right side." She asked sweetly, trying to hide her displeasure.

One of the new staff members nearest her quickly gave a half-bow. "Y-Yes Ma'am, r-right away." he stammered before scampering off, eager to get away from the vampiress.

Seras sighed heavily, putting one gloved hand to her face. 'I wish they wouldn't be so afraid of me, I've done nothing to warrant their fear.' A sudden image of her Master came unbidden into her mind and she grinned in understanding. She never understood what could be so fun in terrorizing other people, but her Master seemed to live for it.

She unconsciously smiled at the thought of her Master, her little fangs showing in a menacing way that frightened any who happened to see her at that moment.

As she stood grinning in the doorway, a hard crack! reverberated throughout the room from the opposite direction of Seras, who was immediately startled from her daydreaming. Everyone stopped their work and went silent, staring in the direction of the noise, to afraid to go out and investigate.

A muttered 'Ouch!' was heard by all inside the room, followed by a stumbling and very drunken vampire in a bright red coat and a wide brimmed matching red hat set crookedly upon his head.

The staff stood in stunned silence as they watched the cause of many of their sleepless nights (as well as headaches...), staggered and fell into a graceless heap on the floor.

Seras, who up to this point had been in shock, quickly ran to her fallen Master's side, believing him to be wounded. She frantically began to search for any sign of injury on her Master.

"Master! Master what happened, are you all right? Are we under attack? Oh Master, please say something!" Seras pleaded with her unresponsive Master.

Alucard looked up at Seras, trying to focus his eyes on his loyal servant. He opened his mouth to try and speak, but only managed a hiccup.

Seras stared in shock as a large black bat emerged from her Master's mouth, wings flapping drunkenly as it flew up towards the ceiling, where it flew in wide circles. Everyone watched the bat as it flew in gradually increasing circles, until it hit the side wall with a thwack!

The staff exploded in laughter at this, unable to hold it back any longer. A few were bold enough to point at the fallen vampire king as he lay on the stone floor, Seras kneeling beside him. The young man who had gone to straighten the banner fell off his ladder, clutching his stomach as he rolled on the floor in gales of laughter.

Seras, meanwhile, had gotten her Master to his feet and helped him towards the hallway outside the door amid the laugher of the staff. Unable to take the insult to her Master any longer, she turned a deadly glare over her shoulder, fangs bared and hissing. It was a glare her Master would have been proud of, had he been sober enough to remember it.

The staff immediately went silent, quaking in fear. They quickly hurried back to their decorating, avoiding looking at the door the vampire duo had disappeared through.

Once they were out in the hallway, Seras gently lowered her Master to the floor, leaning his back against the hard stone wall, which he promptly fell through. Seras heard a scream of sheer terror from the other side of the wall and her Master's chuckle of amusement as she stared at the half of her Master that was still on her side of the wall. She quickly grabbed Alucard's legs and pulled him fully back into the hallway.

Once completely back in the hallway, Alucard lay sprawled on his back, giggling at the ceiling. Seras stood at her Master's side, looking down at him in confusion and trying to decide if he'd finally gone mad after all.

Alucard narrowed his eyes and squinted back up at Seras. He suddenly broke into a foolish grin as his eyes flew open wide in recognition.

"Mommy!" he yelled, throwing himself around Sera's legs. "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!"

"Aaaaaaaahhh!" Seras screamed as she fell to the floor, Alucard wrapped around her legs. She frantically tried to scramble away from her insane Master, but he had a deathgrip on her.

"M-master! What's gotten -ung!- into you?!" Seras cried as she tried to pry Alucard off of her.

Alucard, however, seemed to pay her no mind as he continued calling her 'Mommy'.

"Master, please, I'm not your mother! Your dead, you have no 'Mommy'! Besides, even if you were still alive, your mother would have died centuries ago!" Seras pleaded desperately.

At this, Alucard went silent and looked up at Seras, tears in his red vampiric eyes.

Seras almost felt bad for her Master, but was to confused by his behavior at the moment to pay much mind to her emotions.

Alucard let go of Seras and got to his feet, sniffling. A tear rolled down this cheek as he muttered a final, pitiful "Mommy..." before turning and staggering into the wall. Seras made to get up and help him again, but he recovered and staggered away.

Seras remained on the floor, slack-jawed and confused, watching her Master's retreating form.
