Chapter 16: Do you love her?

Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing

Sieghardt had let Integral back up once the last of the debris had fallen, and came face to face with a new Seras. He could sense the power radiating off of her. He knew what had happened for her to unlock that power, he knew just like Alucard did. She had accepted her Vampiric side and had gained a great boost in her power.

Alucard couldn't help the great cheshire grin that came upon his lips when he saw Seras exit the room that she had just destroyed Shadow in. He also noticed how beautiful she looked in red, that red being someone else's blood. She had never looked better to him than she did now; he knew he had to have her soon. But now was really not the time nor the place, he would have to wait until they made it back to the Hellsing Mansion; there was where he would take her and make her his Bride, once and for all.

" Well done, Seras." Said Alucard as she walked out from the rubble, " I am very glad that you have accepted what you are, as well as realizing your own strength, rather than thinking you are weak, or human for the rest of your Un-life."

" Thank you, Master." Said Seras, she still felt that she had been reprimanded earlier, so she felt that if she was being punished she should call Alucard by the term she referred to him as before. This did not go unnoticed by the elder vampire as he searched her thoughts for the reasons that she would call him something different than what she had been calling him.

Before they could continue the conversation further the soldiers that had accompanied them had made their way into the hall they were in after hearing the deafening explosion, and, apart from the Master and Fledgling talking, they also saw Sieghardt, who had helped Integral up, still had his hand occupied with hers.

They pulled away with Integral actually blushing, but Sieghardt still keeping his calm composure.

' Honestly' thought the Hellsing, ' does nothing like this ever get to him?'

They left Castle Dracula soon after the soldiers had a brief description of what had happened, soon arriving at the train station.

Train

They had taken to the same rooms on the train as before: Integral and Seras in one, the soldiers paired in another, and Alucard and Sieghardt in the final one.

Alucard had sensed the tension between Integral and Sieghardt, and knew that since no-one else was there that this was the time to bring it up and see why he had been acting so strange around her, though he already knew a good bit of the reason.

Sieghardt was sitting in one of the leather couches of the train (Old English sort of train) while Alucard sat across him. The compartment itself had the red leather couches, with thick curtains on the window that could be opened with a great pull string from above one of the couches. Beads of brass were on the arms of the couches, along with golden lace on the bottom of the couch cushions.

" I've noticed your behavior around my Master lately, and I would like to ask you something." Began Alucard, " Why did you kiss her?"

Sieghardt chuckled at this; he knew that his father thought of her as a daughter. Which did constitute his need to protect her a good bit of the time, not including his bond to Hellsing. He knew that when he sensed her confusion when he had kissed her then he would search her mind for the answer. Basically, he knew his father would find out very soon.

" Do you have to ask such an obvious question?" Sieghardt said, answering with his own question.

" I guess your right, but is it true what I have seen in your memories from before, do you love my Master? Not as a mother or sister, but as a lover, a bride, or a mate."

Sieghardt sighted and lied back down on the couch, his head touching the armrest.

" To answer truthfully. Yes, I do. And as you said, not as like a sister or mother figure, but as something more, as someone I would want to spend the rest of my existence with." Was his answer, " But I have two fears on that matter. One is that the love I have for her would somehow mess with me so badly that I would end up paying for it dearly."

" And the second?" asked Alucard, utterly and totally serious.

" You." Began Sieghardt. " Your opinion that your son would wish to mate with your Master, the idea of having Dhampir grandchildren, of bonding with Hellsing on a level that you could, or would, ever reach, and, inadvertently becoming your Master as well."

The laughter that suddenly rang out through the train room was enough to make Sieghardt jump about 5-feet into the air and slam right through the roof of the train compartment.

" If that is something you are worried about then there is no need for it" began Alucard once his wild laughter had died down enough for him to speak, " I do believe you would be a good mate for Integral, I have sensed and seen your strength, I know you would be able to protect her with all you are. You already have my approval in being her Mate, but I would like to ask something. What do you mean by " Dhampir grandchildren?" asked Alucard

" I am going to give her the choice of staying human or becoming a vampire. As you did with Mother, the choice is her own. I will not force her into that, nor will I love her less for it. She is a strong, independent woman, but at the same time can

still be a beautiful flower. In some senses in comparison, she would be an amazing Nosferatu." Said Sieghardt.

Alucard had to admire his son's intuition, intelligence, and acceptance.

" One last question, how long have you been in love with her?"

" It actually started with what I believed was a teenage crush, but grew into what I thought was infatuation. I was able to get my mind off of her for a while, but now I know that that little crush has grown into a full blown love."

Women's Cabin

Seras had been worrying Integral since she had seen her in the office the other day.

" Lady Hellsing, I've noticed something has been bothering you for a while, might I ask what it is?" asked Seras

Now, normally Integral would have said that it was nothing, and that would have been the end of it, but at this moment, normality was a rare thing.

When she answered with her own question, it practically floored Seras.

" Victoria, how do you feel when you're in love?"

Now Seras had expected a good number of responses, but this one just came out of left field, and simply slammed her right into the floor of the compartment. (metaphorically; not literally like in most humor fics)

" Victoria, I asked you a question?" said the slightly annoyed platinum blonde; Seras had simply been staring at her for a few moments, mouth agape.

" Well, it's pretty hard to say. What I feel when I'm around a Master is a longing to be with him, in ways that delve deeper than simple lust. It feels like I don't want to be away from him even for a moment. And I also have the urge to do anything he would ask of me." Said Seras.

She couldn't believe couldn't believe what Seras had just said, those were Integrals almost exact feelings toward Sieghardt. But could it be love? I mean it could go further than lust or infatuation, but love?

"Anyways, why do you ask Sir Integral?" questioned Seras

" Seras, I am going to ask you never to repeat what I am about to tell you, I want your solemn word of silence on your honor." Said Integral, pausing only long enough to see Seras nod, " I think that I have fallen in love with Sieghardt."

Seras mind seemed to shut down from the shock, only coming back on in high gear to process the information she had just been given.

The strong, sometimes cold, and great leader of the Hellsing organization had just fallen in love with a vampire the son of Dracula, and HER son no less.

This was something that truly came as the greatest shock to Victoria; basically if her heart still beat then it would have simply stopped right then and there.

"What?" asked Seras in a very small and somewhat disbelieving voice.

" I will not repeat myself on the matter Seras." Said Integral

" So, when did you start to fall in love with him?" asked Seras, still having her voiced laced with surprise and a small amount of disbelief.

" Honestly, I don't know." Began Integral, opening up fully to the female vampire, and at this point, thinking of her as a sister for the first time.

" He saved my life twice, and treated me with respect that I never would have imagined from him, considering his father." She could see confusion on Seras's face and decided to explain, " Do you remember the night you felt his full power, and the night he insulted me?" Seras nodded, also noting the sadness of her voice on the last part of what she said.

" That same night he came before me to apologize, and ended up kneeling before me. He said that he considered me an equal rather than a human or an enemy. And on that same night he kissed me, nothing very passionate or romantic, but it still felt very good. I think that's when I really started to fall for him, and I think I've fallen hard." Finished Integral.

Seras and Integral continued to talk to one another about how she felt about Sieghardt, and they both came to a very strong conclusion.

Integral Wingates Hellsing had fallen in love with the son of Alucard: Sieghardt.

Manor

The plane ride back was very much like the first, only Sieghardt decided to sleep in his own coffin rather than bother Integral.

Once they had gotten back to the mansion everyone began to settle in, night began show itself on the horizon. It did take them about a day to get back.

The resident vampires had taken to their coffins, though the eldest had something to discuss with his Master.

He managed to catch her working in her office, over the usual paperwork.

" Alucard, might I ask what you want at the moment?" said Integral not looking up from her paper work.

" Master, I would like to ask for a night of limited restriction." Said Alucard, as if this was a normal topic of talk. Integral looked up from her desk and at Alucard like he had grown a second head, which he probably could do if he willed it.

" Why do you believe I will grant you this request, bringing in your past with matters of these." Asked the Hellsing

" I simply request if for this night, and, be it however hard to believe, I have no destructive purposes in mind for this night." Said Alucard with the utmost seriousness.

" All right, for tonight, you may have your limited release. Now, is there anything else?" said Integral.

" No, that will be all my Master." Said Alucard as he phased through the floor and into Seras's room.

Seras's Room

(There will be some lime content, but not a lemon, I am not going to write a lemon in this story. Sorry for all of those who expected one, but the R rating is only for violence and people who are extremists with the rating system.)

Seras was lying down in her coffin, wondering where her Master could be. She didn't have long to wait as he phased through the ceiling of her room with his normal psychopathic grin on his face.

She sat up to stare at her Master, who simply walked forward and placed his hat, tie, glasses, and trench coat on the chair and table in her room, leaving only his gray suit, shirt, and boots.

" Seras, I want to ask you again to drink my blood." Said Alucard

Seras couldn't believe what she was hearing, he said he loved her, he comforted her in difficult times, and now he was trying to get rid of her. This thought caused Seras to snap right there.

" You son of a bitch. First you say you love me and now your trying to get rid of me!" she yelled.

Alucard was surprised at her boldness and her reluctance to jump at the offer, though it was different from the first time he had offered it to her.

" You want to break our bond and leave me on my own what about-" this question was cut short as Alucard placed a hand over his fledgling and began to explain his reasoning.

" If that is what you are afraid of, then there is no need for it."

Suddenly he became the shadows themselves and wrapped himself around Seras, causing her to let out a surprised yelp.

" Master, what are you doing!" she yelled.

His disembodied voice came out from the shadows.

" Showing you the way of the true Nosferatu."

Seras was suddenly lost in a haze of pleasure. She felt like she was being touched everywhere and nowhere at the same time. She felt he connection with Alucard grow stronger than before, she actually felt like she was connected with him fully.

She then began to feel the cold of the catacombs as her clothes were eaten away in the shadows, suddenly finding herself naked with Alucard forming behind her, his arms wrapped around her chest and stomach.

" Seras, you did not allow me to finish. I want you to drink of my blood, and bind yourself to Hellsing. Drink and become a true Midian of the night. Drink to become part of my family, and to become my Bride." He said in a rather husky voice that she heard only a few inches from her ear, her body finally stopping the struggling and useless fighting to escape his iron like grasp he had on her.

Seras couldn't believe what he had just said, this was something she had never imagined him doing with her before Sieghardt came, and she wanted it even more.

She could only nod with all of the emotions running through her.

He flipped her over so that she was on top of him and poised her head at his neck.

" Thank you, Master." Said Seras.

She then sunk her fangs down into his neck and began to drink from him. But what happened next was unexpected: he began to drink from her as well.

She could feel the power rushing through her, in a way causing her to go drunk off of it. After all, wasn't it like a drug to drink from the blood of your vampiric master?

As their blood began to fuse Seras began to feel a very different feeling beginning in her stomach and reaching throughout the rest of her body, causing her a bit of pain and fear at first.

Alucard sensed her stress and rolled over onto his side bringing her into his arms while the pain subsided.

" Thank you, Alucard." Said Seras once this new feeling of pain had subsided.

" Your welcome Seras." With that he swooped down and gave her a forceful yet no less passionate kiss, the rest was lost in the blissfulness of their pleasure.

Sieghardt's room

Sieghardt's enhanced hearing had caused him to wake up for some reason. He began to hear something, even through the thick walls of the catacombs.

Once the lid of his coffin lifted he was able to hear it better: it was very loud yet soft moaning.

It was coming from Seras's room, which made it even more to his disliking.

" You have got to be kidding me."

' Just great, and here I thought I was going to be able to sleep after having Integral on my damn mind for so long. Arghhh.' thought the young vampire.

" I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get some sleep, preferably outside and away from this damned noise, I think I'm about to throw up." Said Sieghardt

He felt different as well, and he saw the reason why when he looked into the mirror of the bathroom: he had just gained a few years along with a change in his memories.

His coming here had changed his entire life, and he would be damned if he didn't like the changes that his coming had brought.

His hair was a little bit longer and his body and face had grown a bit, giving him a little more muscle than he had before. He had basically finished aging, and was here in what would be his form for the rest of his afterlife, though it wasn't like he had a "life" before.

It was time to go, he needed to get away from those who refused to let him sleep.

Balcony

Integral had just come out of the bathroom after changing and taking a rather relaxing bath, though she did somewhat despise the fact that she had a Round Table meeting in a few weeks, the news delivered by Walter, was not the happiest she had received.

Once she stepped out of the bathroom in her flannel decorated pajama bottom, t-shirt, and bathrobe, she saw a rather unusual site on her balcony.

Sieghardt was there in a pair of blood red sweatpants and nothing else, somehow hanging upside-down from the roof of her balcony, his longer hair hanging from him without is being put up into its normally low ponytail.

Integral walked over to him to see what he was doing here, and if he knew why Alucard had wanted to have a night of Limited Restriction.

" Rather nice night isn't it, Lady Hellsing?" asked Sieghardt as Integral walked onto the balcony.

" I would say so, but might I ask why you are up her?" she asked

" Something down in the Catacombs woke me, and I didn't want to try and sleep through it." Began Sieghardt, " And I do have a question, Lady Hellsing, did you, by chance, give my father a night of Limited Restriction?"

" Yes, I was wondering if you knew why?"

" Oh yeah, I do. Integral, do you have any idea of how most vampires mate?" asked Sieghardt.

This question caused Integral to do a very rare thing; blush.

" No, I do not."

" My father asked you for a night of Limited Restriction so he could make my mother his bride. This action and my being here caused many changes in my life, I am still from 25 years in the future, but now I am 24 rather than 20. My being here has caused them to realize and act upon their feelings much sooner than before, and I have finished what aging I will do in my life because of it. Since I am a pureblood and not turned then I will stop aging at a certain point, and I have reached it now. " Said Sieghardt

When Integral looked she could see that he had changed since the last she saw him, he was older, and more muscular than before, with longer hair, and a more mature expression to him.

" Many things have changed, I cannot tell anyone of them, though. My presence in this time has already caused this and I don't want to take the chance of it happening again. We will all have to wait and see the future when it comes. Oh, and to go back to Vampiric mating. I can't really explain it, it has to do, though, with disengaging one's body and using the whole of it rather than still having a physical form like humans do." Finished Sieghardt.

" There was something I wanted to ask you, Sieghardt, when we were in the Castle Dracula, you were about to say something to me, and you never got the chance, may I ask what it was?" asked Integral, trying to sway the subject away from something like that, even though it did lead back to what her and Seras talked about on the train.

" Integral, what I am about to tell you is something that I don't want you to run away from me from, or to think me less for it." Said Sieghardt, a great amount of concern in his voice, he looked to Integral who nodded she almost predicting where this would lead.

Sieghardt floated down from the balcony roof and stood right in front of Integral, his from towering a good half foot over hers'.

What he did next was reach down and capture her lip's with is, causing her to stiffen for a moment.

It was somewhat chaste, but when he pulled back he stared her straight in the eye, complete and total seriousness on his face.

" What I was going to say back in the castle was this: I have fallen in love with you, Integral Wingates Hellsing."

She could only stare up at him as he said that, happiness bursting throughout her at seeing that her feelings for him were returned.

Her next act was to bring her arms around his neck and place a passionate kiss on his own lips, she began to feel him sucking at her bottom lip, asking for entrance, which was quickly granted.

His tongue began to dart around her wet cavern, tasting her and memorizing everything, same as she did for him. When they began to fight over dominance, it was Integral who came out on top, only because he wanted her to.

He wasn't submissive in anything, God NO, but with Integral, she seemed to like to be in control of situations. And he knew that not everything would be with him being in control, he would simply be a follower if the situation called for it and allow her to be the leader, or him be the slave dependant upon the situation. She was a woman of great strength and honor, not letting her be the way she is would not be a good thing, for anyone.

When they pulled apart she simply stared into his crimson orbs, her icy-blue ones filled with unshed tears of happiness.

" I love you too, Sieghardt."

She said this with a great amount of truth and affection in her voice.

He carried her over to the bed and lied down with her, once she had taken off her bathrobe.

He wrapped his arms around her and she had her head laying on his chest, feeling his lean muscles and how cold and warm his body was at the same time.

Sieghardt had his chin on her hair, breathing in the sweet scent that accompanied it, completely lost in her own sweet scent.

They fell asleep, both needing it after the long days that had faced over the past week.

But, little did they know, the greatest challenge was yet to come.

AN: Okay, I am sorry for the length in update, but this is what happened.

One: Our computer was not acting right

Two: I got put into Drivers Ed at school and for the next eleven days am not going to get home for two and a half hours after school. This is causing me to lose the mental energy to update, but I will get out of it in a few weeks, so there is nothing to worry about, this is only a temporary slump.

I will update again as soon as possible, and I would like to know what you thought of this chapter.
