Chapter 12: Weak

Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing

Once those of Hellsing, who had come along on the trip, had made their way back to the plane they took to their own quarters, except for one. The soldiers and Integral had different sections on the jet, it wasn't of great size, but it was enough to seat those who had come along on this journey.

Alucard and Seras made their way back to the coffins, since daylight was soon on the horizon. Once the lid was shut Seras snuggled deeper into Alucard's chest as the elder vampire put his arms around his fledgling. Each falling into a peaceful sleep, though, as was said, one of the members of passengers was not in his normal place, Sieghardt.

Integral was looking forward to gaining some time to herself after that little escapade, but she still had a few questions to Sieghardt that she had not had the chance to ask when they made their way back to the plane. She was somewhat disappointed and a little angered when she entered her cabin to find Sieghardt sitting cross-legged in one of the chairs in the compartment, still wearing what he had not lost when Pyro had attacked Integral.

Of course this did save her some time in sending for him once they had gotten back to the manor.

" Might I inquire upon as to the reasons that you are here?" asked Integral in a somewhat clipped tone.

" Didn't feel like sleeping, and I didn't think you would really notice you had company in a compartment this big." Said Sieghardt, not lifting his head from the position it was in, his chin on his chest.

Integral could practically smell the smile that now adorned his face, after all this was the same thing his father did to her. Why, she would probably never know, but it more than likely had to do with the fact the he thought of her as the same little girl he had rescued from the dungeons about 15 years ago.

They could feel the sound of the engines roaring and the forward movement of the plane beginning its accent into the air, headed back to the small island that it had come from, Britain.

Integral sat on the sofa and began and lit one of her mini-cigars, when she looked out the window she could see the first rays of the sun peering over the horizon. She could see now that she would have to ask her questions, because if Sieghardt tried to go back into the cargo bay now, he would have to do it differently, and he might just mess up and-

" You know, if you keep smoking those things then your going to end up dead way before your time." Said a voice that broke her from her thoughts.

She turned to see Sieghardt staring at her, his piercing crimson eyes staring straight into her icy-blue ones, and smirk plastered on his face, he was waiting for her to react to his statement. It was always fun to tease Integral, as his father once said, he once told him he did it because he thought of her the same little girl he saved years ago, but Sieghardt did it for another reason. In all honesty he didn't know himself why he did it, he just did, after a while when he was younger he had begun to become attracted to her, but he simply dismissed it as some teenage thing that he would get over eventually. Now he did get over the whole teenage thing, but his crush on Integral had not dissipated. In fact it had grown into infatuation, he had thrown himself into training his mind and body so that he didn't have to think about that sort of stuff until the time came, but now it was here. And, for once in his undead life, he was scared.

Scared that, in the presence of this woman, something would screw up with him, and he would pay for it dearly, one way or the next, but those were not thoughts for the moment were they. Right now he had to think of why Integral had not bugged him anymore about why he was staying in the cabin with her.

" I have yet to suffer from these things, so I see no problem in smoking them." Began Integral, " But I do have a question for you, how did you do what you did when in that cave when you got this piece?" she asked the last part holding up the grip that Sieghardt had given before the cave collapsed.

" 350 years is a long time, I had nothing to do for a good bit of it, and since I only had access to some of my power I had to compensate for it. Building my skills for tasks like that do really help pass the time, as well as making those traps, that took up about 30 years to do." Said Sieghardt.

" But you couldn't have done just training for over 300 years, so what else did you do?" asked Integral

Sieghardt chuckled for a moment before answering, " Music, that time gave me enough to learn to play different instruments, though if I practice them I don't normally do so in the presence of others. What I can play is Violin, Cello, Piano, and Base and Normal Guitar-" he was cut short at this point.

" Wait, you play the guitar?" asked Integral, in all honesty she never thought that Alucard would ever permit his son to play much other than the classical instruments, considering the sort of old fashioned clothing that he always adorned.

Sieghardt chuckled before answering, " Yes, I know it's hard to believe, and my father couldn't believe it himself when he found out. I started playing when I was 14 years old my mother had secretly gotten me one for my birthday, mostly thinking of what my father would say if he found out."

" And when did he happen to find out?" asked Integral

" After gaining some knowledge in how to play it, I began to practice with harder and more complicated songs, still trying my best to keep it a secret from him, as I said, for fear of his reaction. One day I was practicing the guitar intro to a song called " Unholy Confessions" by a Metal Rock band called Avenged Seven Fold when my father phased thorough the wall when I had begun the song. I was so into playing that I didn't even realize he was there. Once I had finished I looked up to see him there, and thought he was going to break my instrument for a moment. But his reaction was not what I expected, he simply asked 'How long I had been playing?' and 'Who had given it to me?' I told him Mother had, and that I had been playing for about a year now." Said Sieghardt, " He then proceeded to tell me I shouldn't have kept it from him, no matter what the reaction, then phased through the wall to have a chat with my mother about pretty much the same thing.

"And in all honesty, that was it. Of course it wasn't until a little later I found out about the collection of CDs he had kept secret in his room, not even my mother knew about them."

Integral was a bit shocked to hear what Sieghardt had just told her, it didn't seem like the sort of the Alucard would say if he found his son played an instrument like that.

' But, then again, you can't predict anything with him because he is impossible to figure out.' Thought Integral.

That was basically the last bit of conversation they had on the flight back, the rest was spent in a somewhat comfortable silence.

Hellsing Manor (Hours later, Nightfall)

Sieghardt was sitting in the chair of his room with his feet propped upon the table, wearing all but his trench coat, vest, hat, and glasses.

Alucard chose that moment to enter the room and talk to him what he had discussed with Integral. Integral had summoned him and told him of the attack on Hellsing when he had turned 17 and of what he had said during that time, about Seras and Integral.

Sieghardt looked up from his own thoughts to see his father standing there with his full attire on, and somewhat of a scowl on his face.

" I talked to My Master on what you discussed with her the other day, of the attack on Hellsing and what you told her." Began Alucard, in a cold tone, " I also heard of what you said, of how it all seems like a passing nightmare. It seems to me you blocked it from your memory, and I would like to ask why?"

" It wasn't what I chose to do, but at the time I did not have the control over all of my mind and bodies actions that I did before, and I didn't want to take it out and senselessly kill others. I did not want others to suffer for what happened to me, no matter how bad, I didn't want to do what you did when your parents sold you and your brother to the Sultan." Said Sieghardt not lifting his head.

" Yes, but at least I didn't block out what happened, I used it to get revenge, what you did was weaker than when Seras refused to drink blood."

Before Alucard could even blink, a fist slammed in with his, sending him through the ceiling of the catacombs. He phased through with Sieghardt's help, him not wanting to do any damage to the Manor. When he landed in the main room on his back, he soon found himself pinned to the floor.

Sieghardt had jumped through the same path with both swords in hand and slammed his knee down one Alucard, the put his swords in an X shape, using them to pin his head and neck by his floor.

His eyes looked like they were on fire, if one could see them now they could see sparks there, as if the flames in his eyes were of Hell itself.

When he spoke his voice boomed through the Manor, allowing all to hear.

" DO NOT PRESUME TO CALL ME WEAK AFTER WHAT I HAVE DONE AND WHO I HAVE FACED, YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE POWER I CAN CALL UPON IF NEEDED. MY POWERS ARE FAR BEYOND YOURS, SO I WOULD NOT THINK IT WISE TO CALL ME THAT AGAIN, FATHER!!" the last word of that sentence he spat out with venom and malice filling every syllable.

He could feel a burning on the back of his hand and knew what it was; the symbols were beginning to glow with a swirling blood red and black.

He simply had to get out of there, or there would be some bad consequences.

Standing up and withdrawing his blades he began to walk toward the door, until he was stopped by the voice of Integral.

" SIEGHARDT!!" yelled Integral, " Where do you believe you are going after that performance?"

Sieghardt merely turned and gave her a glare that made the room temperature seem to drop at least 50 degrees.

" I do not have to answer to you, Hellsing, I am not under yours or anyone's command other than my own." Said Sieghardt with a voice to match his glare.

His next action was simply to phase through the entrance and begin to walk; he called upon his familiar form and became a Hellhound. Six eyes, large silver collar, of a giant form, with bulging muscles showing as he ran, he had to get away from there now, or he could break through the locks, and cause a bloodbath.

AN: Sorry if this chapter was kind of weird, but this one and the next are looks into Sieghardt and his past somewhat before continuing on with the story, R And R, and I will get the next chapter us as soon as I can.
