Hi! Even more reviews! What do you think, can we make it to twenty? It would be really cool. But, as always, time to acknowledge the reviewers:

Generator X: Thanks so much for the invite! I'll have to check in to it, and refer all my close knit friends. Also, alas, this character is just a one time thing. This was actually supposed to be a one shot fic, but it got out of hand. We don't get to know what she looks like under the hood.. but, rest assured, you will. The next fan fic I do will have a girl named Scott, wearing a grey deaths robe, BUT with more power, and she's a professional vampire victim. I'll tell you what they look like then.

Ice Appeal: I'm sorry. I wanted to work Alex in, but he just didn't fit. I could have made him fit, but that would have taken the story over a million words, witch I didn't want to do. But again, next fic he shows up, and his reactions to 'the girl called Scott' will no doubt be worth the wait. (I hope) oh, and about those speedy updates? They just keep getting faster and faster!

ntytd and Animeotakufreak: Thanks!

Disclaimer: I am unworthy of even wanting to say that Hellsing is mine! I must hide in shame.

Chapter 8: My Stuff Arrives

We were back on good terms by the end of our tour. Either we were lucky, or Rubin and friends had warned everybody about me, for we met no one else on our way through the grounds. As we reached the front door once again, Seras looked at me.

"I've just realized that Master first introduced you as my "new room mate". Does that mean you'll be sleeping in my room?" I shrugged.

"Search me. I've been with you since three minutes after I got here." Just then,

Walter walked out from behind…something, I didn't actually see were exactly he came from. He stopped in front of us.

"You are both called to Sir Integra's office immediately. Miss Victoria, I believe you can show our young friend the way." With that, he turned and walked off. I blinked at his retreating back. Seras shrugged, and started to lead the way. Up the stairs, through the hall, up more stairs, and to a huge set of ornately carved wood doors. Seras knocked. A sharp voice answered:

"Come in." we did so hastily. I looked around at the large office. Sir Integra motioned us to sit, and I did so gratefully. There was a serious lack of chairs in this place. Sir Integra cleared her throat.

"Miss Victoria, I suppose you know why I called you both here?" she said, giving Seras an icy stare. Sears fidgeted.

"No, Sir, I really have no idea." I smirked.

"Meaning no disrespect if I offer any, but would it be my accommodations you called us here for?" Sir Integra nodded, but frowned at my way of saying things. I shrugged her glare off and looked at the mountain of paperwork on her desk.

"Well, since you are but a child, and these are crude army men we have here, I've seen fit to give you a room in the mansion. The men are crafty, and low, however, and I think it would be best if you moved in with Seras, if only at first. At least until they understand that you are no hired entertainment." Sears snickered. Sir Integra turned her frown to the vampire.

"Is something funny, Miss Victoria?" she asked sternly. Seras only shook her head. I smirked.

"I think they already know I'm no hired entertainment." I said. Sir Integra's frown deepened.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you see, we had a brief brush with some men who were bugging Sears, and I, well, I…" Seras cut me off.

"She was magnificent, Sir! She talked them into submission, and when they came back for more, she pulled out a sword and threatened them if they didn't leave us alone!" Sir Integra raised an eyebrow.

"A sword?" she asked in a lighter tone. I blushed.

"Well, a katana, Sir. It's a Japanese weapon, and I'm quite proficient with it. The men were, lets say, not acting appropriately, so I told them in no uncertain terms that their company was no longer desired." I looked down at the floor.

"If I were anyone else, I might whistle to show how impressed I am, but as I am who I am, I will merely say that perhaps I should place you with Seras so that you can protect her. In any case, you two are now, for the next month at least, room mates. Now, off with you, I have paper work to finish." We got out fast, and walked slowly to the first staircase in our long decent to the lower levels. Once again, I paid careful attention, to know my way back if I ever needed to get here without a guide. Back at Sears' door, she took a deep breath.

"This will be like a big sleepover!" she squealed. I raised an eyebrow. We went into the room, to find Alucard sitting on a cot that had been set up in one corner. He grinned when he saw us.

"Master! What are you…?" Seras asked. He stood, revealing the bags of clothes, books, and other personal items that had been hidden behind him.

"You're things have arrived." He said with an insane grin. I put on a grin of my own.

"Why, thank you! And to what do I owe the pleasure of you waiting on me like a bellboy?"

"My Master was most insistent that you have all your comforts to ease your joining so suddenly. She says you can keep any thing that you can find room for."

"Well, wasn't that thoughtful. I'll have to thank her the next time I see her. You I can thank right now, for going through the trouble of getting these for me, even if it was under orders." I started sifting through stuff.

"I suppose I can get rid of some of these books. Lets see, the Sweet Valley Twins one through twenty, I can get rid of those. Sword Smithing for Dummies, as if I'll ever have time to smith a sword. Ah ha! These I must keep." I put a stack off books on the cot. Alucard picked up the first one.

"So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish? What kind of title is that?" he looked at the next few books.

"Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, The Deeper Meaning of Liff, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, what madman wrote these?" Alucard was holding up the books he had listed. Sears squeaked.

"The whole Douglas Adams collection! You have every book! Even the new one, Mostly Harmless! You like these books?" In answer, I fished out Mostly Harmless and handed it to her, back cover up.

"'The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has, in what we laughingly call the past, had a great deal to say on the subject of parallel universes. Very little of this is, however, at all comprehensible to anyone below the level of Advanced God, and since it is now well established that all known gods came into existence a good three millionths of a second after the universe began rather than, as they usually claimed, the previous week, they already have a great deal of explaining to do as it is, and are therefore unavailable for comment at this time…'. Yes, I memorized the back, yes, I love these works. Adams is a genius! You're welcome to borrow any book you like. Oh, by the way. If anything in them hurts you head two much, come ask me. I understand it all, and am perfectly capable of translating from Adams to every-day-person." I took a deep breath, then dived back into my huge book pile.

"I've got to keep all my reference section," I mumbled to myself. "And this book is good for light reading. Now I wonder were…" I turned around and saw Alucard holding another book.

"I know this name. Carl Sagan. I met him once."

"Yeah, I bought that book for some easy reading when homework started to make my head hurt."

"But," Seras started, "I've heard of that book. Cosmos. It's supposed to be mind bogglingly confusing. Something like the square root of two, which is impossible." I nodded.

"Yeah, that's appendix two, the Square Root of Two. You should check out page 262, it's got a two dimensional representation of a tesseract." Both vampires stared at me blankly.

"A picture of a hyper cube? A four dimensional cube? You cant tell me you've never heard of them before." I stared at them. Alucard flipped through the pages.

"She's right. Do you memorize everything you read?" I stopped staring at them.

"Well, not everything, but, most of it yeah. Now lets see, that's all the books sorted, now clothes." I bent to the bags filled with my wardrobe. While tossing clothing into two piles, one keep and one toss, I came upon a pair of light blue jeans. Seras squeaked when she saw them.

"Can I borrow those? Their absolutely adorable!" I laughed.

"You can have them. Here, they go well with this shirt." I fished out a peasant shirt that matched them in color perfectly. She looked at me.

"You don't want to keep them?" I shook my head.

"Notice that my 'keep' pile consists of all red and black? I got those jeans as a present, and the shirt I bought to go with them and freak people out. You see, every Monday at school, I wear all the same color, from socks to mittens. Usually it was all black or all red, until some one said that I was in love with those colors. I said they were right, but I'd show them. The next Monday, I wore those." Sears was looking at the keep pile. So was Alucard. He reached in and lifted out a shirt that was in rags. The purpose was so that you could wrap it around you any way you liked. A sort of 'sculpt your own shirt' type of idea.

"Is this actually a garment?" he asked.

"Yes, believe it or not. I'm keeping it because its weird, and I like to wear clothes that make people stare. Hence the ninja shirt, the strait jacket, and the long black satin gloves. Oh, and this." I held up my purse. It was not your ordinary every day purse though. It was chain mail. Seras went bug eyed.

"That's so cool! A chain mail purse! Were did you get it?" I smirked.

"My granny gave it to me. Like it?"

"Yes!"

"Good, you can borrow it some day."

"Really? Thanks!" Seras took the purse and held it gingerly. Then she said,

"Oh, you can use my closet, if you want. There's quite a bit of space left."

"That's ok, most of my stuff wont wrinkle any way. Except this." This time, it was Alucard who was impressed.

"Is that silk?" he said.

"No, I'm not sure what it is. Shiny though, isn't it?" the three part dress I had in my hand was made of a shimery white material, and had a skirt, a shirt, and a scarf. They were all covered in gold embroidery. The stitching went in curves, and after looking at it for a while, you realized that it was a flower pattern. Alucard felt the embroidery, and smirked.

"You seem to have a thing for metal." I nodded. Sears looked confused.

"What do you mean, Master?" she asked. I answered.

"The thread in this embroidery is real, metallic gold. This dress is worth over two thousand dollars, Canadian. I have no idea how many pounds that is, but its a lot of dollars. Look, these beads are made of glass." I looked proudly at the dress. It was the only thing in the keep pile with more white than any other color. Seras' eyes went all dreamy.

"It's just beautiful. It looks like a wedding dress!" I laughed.

"It is, it's just not the brides dress."

"Huh? What does that mean?" Seras looked confused.

"It's an East Indian mother of the brides dress. I got it for free from a costume place when the shoulders ripped out. I guess the place didn't count on me being able to sew." Seras' eyes lit up.

"You can sew?" I nodded.

"And quite well at that, thank you." She clapped her hands down on my shoulders.

"Could you teach me? I've been meaning to learn, and I have clothes that need mending."

"As a matter of fact, so do I. I'll teach you as I work on my stuff, and then we can work together, okay?" she nodded vigorously. I smiled and went back to my clothes and found a bag of under were and bras. I rolled my eyes at the vampire behind me. They hadn't been in bags at home. I wondered if he had enjoyed going through my stuff, or if he was just enjoying my reactions now. I stood up and put the bag of unmentionables with the keep pile.

"Well, that's books, and clothes. The two most important things in my life. Now, I'll keep all my weapons and all my jewelry. Not that much jewelry to keep, but hey. Now, my video games. Hmmm… should I keep them? I don't see when I'll have time to play them, but I might as well keep them anyway, just in case." I pulled out an original Nintendo, and a play station one. I hade a few games on each, and I was really good at them all. Might as well keep them and have yet another chance to show up Rubin and those stupid guys. Lets see how they like getting their asses kicked by a little girl in Tetris. I thought to my self. Alucard asked,

"What's Tetris?" I sighed. I had forgotten that he could read my thoughts.

"Well, this is Tetris." I held up the game cartridge.

"A video game?"

"Well, yeah. It was originally a board game though, and I was awesome at that. Now I'm the champ at virtual Tetris. Go figure." He only smirked at me.

"Well, that's everything except…decorations. I know exactly which ones to keep." I chose four objects. Two made from clay, one metal, and one plastic. Seras stared.

"What are those things?" she asked wonderingly. I snickered.

"The wire cube, the three-d puzzle, or the home made Halloween decorations?" I answered.

"All of them!" she said excitedly. She tried to pick up the wire cube, only to have it seem to fall apart on her. She dropped it.

"That, is a Vector Sphere. You've seen those plastic, multi color orb things that get bigger and smaller? Well this the next step. It's the most annoying thing in the world, and Canadian made. It goes from a cube," I picked it up by one corner. "To a cuboctehedron. Cool, huh? I can turn it inside out, and take the whole thing apart too. It only takes me an hour to put it back together without instructions. The three-d pyramid thing is a maze I got for Christmas."

"And the coffin and teapot of doom?" inquired Alucard.

"Oh, those were part of art class. This it the coffin bank, (about 6 inches long, black coffin shaped piggy bank.) see? You just slide the cross to the side, and boom! A slot for you money. I was morbid even in grade eight. The teapot was just because I like spikes. I call it 'The Spiky Death Pot'. I'm starting to feel sorry for my bus drivers."

"What did you tell them?" Seras asked, wide eyed.

"Well, for the coffin it was, 'What? I'm a fairy undertaker.' And a few days later with the teapot it was, 'What? I've got to find some way to relax.'" I snickered, then yawned. Looking at my watch only made me yawn again.

"Wow. Late night. Where did all the time go? I could have sworn it's only been a few hours since I got here, yet my watch says it's an hour till dawn. That's waaaaaaay past my usual bedtime." I yawned again, and Seras mirrored me. She shut her mouth and blinked.

"I didn't relies I still did that." She said. I laughed yet again.

"Yawning is contagious. I have a friend who did a project on it."

"Then why isn't Master yawning?" she said, stifling yet another gaping yawn. I shrugged.

"Maybe you haven't been dead long enough. Your body still responds to outer stimuli. And maybe he's just to damn old and too damn dead to need to even move any more. He just moves around for fun. I don't know, I'm only fifteen." Seras gasped.

"You're not old enough to be in the army, or even Hellsing for that matter!"

she told me. I shrugged.

"So use me as a light snack some day. I don't really know what purpose I'm supposed to serve. For now, I'm going to serve to warm up that mattress, with my body. Night 'all" I started to pull the bloodstained robe over my head. I herd an "eep".

"What?" I mumbled through the cloth.

"Master is still in here!" she chided. I finished taking the robe off, to reveal black jean short shorts, and a dark grey tank top.

"First, im not nude under this thing, second, Alucards, like, how old? I'm sure he's seen a naked female body." I slide my shoes off, and put them under the bed with everything else. Alucard laughed.

"You don't fear anything, do you?"

"I do so. I fear spiders, McDonalds, long car rides stuck with preppy bimbo's, and the color pink." Alucard snorted.

"You're afraid of a color?" I looked at him.

"Pink is my enemy. I will avoid pink at all costs, simply because its normal for girls to like pink, and anything normal scares me." He laughed again.

"So, you fear the color pink, but not a several hundred year old pervert watching you undress for bed?" I nodded.

"That pretty much sum's it up. I mean, Seras is female, she's seen it all before, YOU probably saw it all against the females will, and if you really wanted to see me naked, I'm sure you could manage to get me that way any way. If you don't want to see, get out of the room. I have the body modesty of a cat, so sue me. But of course, that involves court, during the day. So that might not be an option for you." Seras giggled, then gasped as I striped off my shirt. Alucard was silent. Using my foot, I kicked a blue and red nightshirt into the air behind me. It was actually quite the elegant looking kick. The nightshirt fell over one shoulder, and I plucked it off to hang it over an arm. Seras was hiding behind her hands. Alucard spoke up.

"You say your only fifteen?" I blushed for the first time in months.

"So I'm well developed," here I saw a chance to maybe embarrass him. "I can't help it if im a cup bigger that my mother. Lousy store lady just had to tell me I'm a 38-D." I muttered under my breath for a wile. Alucard didn't get embarrassed. Instead he just smiled and fazed backward through a wall, making me choke on the yawn I had been in the middle of. Striping the rest of the way, I put on the nightshirt and crawled beneath the covers, twisting until they were cocooned around me. Seras looked at me funny.

"What? I'm making sure no drafts come in under the covers. I sleep in the basement at home; I know how cold it gets. It might not be a problem for you, but it is for me." I yawned.

"G'night, Seras." I mumbled, half asleep.

"Good night, Scott."

A/N: Wow, long chapter. I'd like to note that I don't acknowledge my friends in here because I can tell them in person.
