Evil Beads of Rosary
It's been a few days since Alucard made the fatal mistake of putting on the rosary necklace Integra gave him. Now the Vampire meets with Inuyasha and the two have a hearty whine-fest about the unfairness of having to sit all the time. Sequel to Between Women.
Disclaimer: Read it in the first story.
Alucard had just finished up his last mission of the night. He put his Jackal into its sheathe as he walked back to where Integra and the others were waiting for him.
"Target has been silenced," he said. Integra nodded once and turned away, heading for a black limo that would take her back to the manor. Alucard followed behind her and smirked as she got into the car. "Why don't you come with me instead?"
"Sit," Integra said, causing Alucard to faceplant as she shut the door. She rolled the window down as Alucard got to his feet, scowling. "I'll see you at the Mansion." She then rolled the window back up and a moment later the limo and others vehicles drove off, leaving Alucard standing alone. The Vampire sighed and wrapped a hand around the rosary necklace. He tugged a few times but just as before, the thing wouldn't budge or break.
Alucard still remembered the first time Integra had told him to sit, when he had been trying to have some innocent fun at the meeting. After Integra had left, he had done some serious thought about the cause of his sudden "obedience." It hadn't taken too much thought to come to the conclusion that it was the necklace. He had then gone to Integra to confront her about it.
Four days earlier…
"This thing, it's got a spell on it, doesn't it?" Alucard asked, watching Integra as she sat behind her desk, still grinning.
"Indeed it does. Now I can finally have some peace with you around," she answered, chuckling. Alucard scowled.
"You should have told me."
"You wouldn't have put it on then. You would have claimed you "lost" or "misplaced" it. I had to be creative."
"Where did you get it from?"
"A young woman who has problems similar to mine gave it to me. I really must remember to thank her if I see her again. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few papers to fill out before I turn in for the night."
"Can you get this thing off me?"
"I could, but I think it looks good on you."
"Can you take this thing off me, please?" Integra looked at Alucard, who was looking pained. She had never before heard Alucard say please. It was strange. She adopted a thoughtful expression and couldn't help but grin more when she saw Alucard's hopeful look. Finally she took a breath.
"No."
"Why!"
"Because I rather like being able to have peace once in a while," Integra answered, returning to her papers. Alucard continued to bug her about it though, until finally she looked up and said a single world.
"Sit."
This time Alucard was ready. He tried to resist the force pulling him down, but he only held out for about two or three seconds before he fell face-first. He grunted as he stood, blinking.
"I'll remember this," he said, and Integra smiled at him as he stalked to the wall.
"Make sure you do," she said as Alucard vanished from the room.
Alucard winced as he remembered that. Twice in one night. And again tonight. Not to mention five times last night for something he couldn't remember, most likely, he decided, because he'd gotten a concussion from the second sit. He sighed and dropped his gloved hand to his side, starting off.
He was heading back to the mansion when he decided he'd rather look for something fun to do. He was walking, headed right for the same club Integra had met Kagome and Sango in (though he didn't know that), when he noticed a figure clad in a red kimono standing a few yards ahead of him. He gave that sinister grin and headed towards the person.
"What a perfect night…"
"This is just perfect," Inuyasha growled as he stared into space. "The others all run off and don't tell me they're going, and I can't find a decent scent to track!" His ears twitched in irritation as he crossed his arms over his chest, one eye twitching much like Integra's. "When I find them I swear I'm gonna…"
Just then, the wind changed direction and blew a very strange scent into the dog demon's nose. He whirled and saw a tall, red-clad figure coming at him. Orange-tinted glasses glinted in the moonlight as the man came closer. Inuyasha growled.
"A demon? No, his scent is way too different. Then what?" he muttered to himself, and was surprised when the man stopped and laughed.
"No, I am not a demon. I am a Vampire, the great Alucard!" But Inuyasha wasn't listening. He had noticed this man named Alucard was wearing something that looked suspiciously like a…
"Rosary necklace!" the dog-eared inu shouted. Alucard scowled a little and noticed at that moment this strangely-clad man had the same thing around his neck. He smiled a little.
"Ah, you must be a friend of that girl that gave my Master this necklace," he said. His grin grew a bit wider. "I wonder if maybe you could tell me where she is? My Master wanted to thank her…"
Now, if Inuyasha had been paying any attention to Alucard's voice, he'd have noticed that Alucard was being thoroughly sarcastic. Yeah, Integra DID want to thank Kagome, but Alucard just wanted to shove these beads down her throat and shoot her a few times.
"No, they all ran off on me," the half-demon huffed, crossing his arms again. "I dunno where they went. I can't find a scent to follow. Kagome sit-ed me so many times I couldn't keep track of where they were going." His eyes burned with great irritation. "I swear, those guys are gonna pay…"
"I got it five times last night," Alucard commented suddenly. "I don't even remember why."
"Sounds like your…Master?...is like Kagome. Sit Inuyasha! Sit boy! Don't do that, sit! Sit sit sit!" he said in a girly voice, imitating Kagome. Alucard laughed and nodded.
"Indeed. Sit seems to be my Master's favorite word now. Sit for this, sit for that, sit for just being in the same room with me, sit for just BEING in the first place…"
"Sit for looking at me…"
"Sit for talking to me…"
"Sit for breathing in my direction…"
"Sit for thinking about me…"
"Sit for thinking period…"
"Sit for hitting the little annoying kistune…"
"Sit for shooting humans…"
"Sit for sitting…"
"Sit for standing…"
This went on for some time, with each suggestion becoming more and more disturbing. It finally ended with Alucard stating, "Sit for turning a human into a Vampire because you had to shoot her to kill the Vampire worm behind her using her as a shield." Inuyasha nodded a few times.
"Yup. I never knew there was someone else who got sit-ed for leaving the seat up. I tried to tell Kagome that she wouldn't like it if I made her hit the ground for everything she did but she just-"
"Made you sit?"
"How'd ya guess?"
"Lucky. I asked Master to take this thing off me and-"
"Had to sit?"
"Exactly."
"We should do something about this! We have rights too you know! Rights!"
"Yes! We have a right to cause total chaos and kill innocent humans and cause fear and terror amongst them!"
"Precisely!" Inuyasha cried as he and Alucard threw an arm around one another's shoulders.
"Rights!" they chanted together. "Right rights rights!"
It was three hours later when Integra decided it was time to look for Alucard. She was going to make him sit as many times as she could yell it until falling asleep if he had caused any trouble…
"Where's Inuyasha?" Miroku asked. They had just noticed the half-demon wasn't with them. Yeah…They were also at the club where Kagome and Sango had met Integra.
"I don't know. Maybe he's back near that grove?" Shippo asked, hopping onto Kagome's shoulder. The small group stood and left, heading back to where they had left Inuyasha.
Well, needless to say, when Integra, Kagome, and the others found Alucard and Inuyasha, it was at the same time. Integra thanked Kagome for the rosary and was introduced to the others. Then they turned their attention to the half-demon and Vampire, who were holding onto each other, drunkenly chanting "Rights!" as they staggered along. Alucard had an empty blood packet, and was still trying to suck on it. Inuyasha had a cup with sake in it and was sloshing the last remaining dregs on himself.
"Oh dear…" Sango muttered when the two turned to face them and staggered over. Alucard pulled from Inuyahsa and stood before Integra while Inuyasha went to Kagome.
"We wanna tell yo' so'thin'!" Alucard said, blinking. Inuyasha nodded.
"See, cuz we…we are TIRED of…sit'ng all da time…"
"An' we thin' it ain't fair…cuz YOU don' hav' ta sit all da time…"
"And we thin' ya shoul' if we hav' ta…"
"So…so either ta'e dese thin's off us or…or..or….." Alucard stopped, scowling. "Or…"
"Or get som' for yaselves!" Inuyasha shouted, striking a peace pose. Alucard followed suit, and both of them started to giggle madly. Integra had an expression on her face like she had just heard she was a love child of Anderson and Maxwell's.
"I think…they've snapped…" Kagome said with a nervous chuckle as the two began to sing, horribly off-key no less. Miroku sighed.
"They need to sober up," he said. "What can we do?"
"I have an idea," Integra said, watching Alucard with a sort of horrified fascination as the Vampire belted out at the top of his lungs. She looked to Kagome and the two women nodded.
"Alucard…"
"Inuyasha…"
"SIT BOYS!"
There were two loud THUDs a moment later as the tipsy duo hit the ground.
"See…dat's what…" Inuyasha started.
"We tal'ing 'bout…" Alucard finished.
And then they abruptly passed out.
"…And that is why it is bad to try and revolt against your Master and/or keeper. Is that clear?" Integra asked. It was the next night and Alucard and Inuyasha had both been sobered by being dunked in alternately hot and cold water. Now they were sitting in those desks students in high school sit in and were being lectured by Kagome and Integra for their behavior the night before.
"Any questions?" Kagome asked. Alucard lifted a hand. "Yes?"
"Can we do that again? It was pretty fun."
"Yeah, just don't sit us or dunk us this time and we'll be fine!"
"SIT BOYS!"
THUD.
Well, here is the sequel. I decided to write it just to make y'all happy. In case you're wondering why the sequel is here instead of being a separate story, it was because I thought it would be easier for people to read both stories if they were together instead of having to search all over for one or the other.
