o.o Wow. Peeps actually like my stories. -teary eyes- You guys have no idea how happy you're making me! XD! I'm getting emails and requests to actually use my fanfiction! .-. Don't think my Inuyasha fans ever did that...Aight, anyways, keep the reviews coming and I'll keep the insanity coming.

Disclaimer: I only own Harley and the insanity that she does.

It took a good ten minutes to calm Harley and Alucard down enough to seperate them. Because after Harley hit the ground and screamed for help, she promtly latched herself to the vampire's leg, refusing to let go and threatening to bite him. This didn't quite have a very postive reaction since he proceeded to shake his leg and make the teenager dizzy. But after Integra shot Alucard's hat off, both of them quieted down, though they kept shooting the other very dirty looks.

I've never seen Master act like that... Seras thought as the group walked inside. She had the misfortune of walking between the two quarreling persons, and she wasn't exactly enjoying it. She sighed heavily and her shoulders slumped.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Harley asked, deciding the ignore Alucard for now. The teen cringed a little. "I'm sorry, it was because of the yelling, wasn't it?" Gosh, I gotta remember that the big bully ain't the-"

TWACK!

"INTEGRA, ALUCARD HIT ME AGAIN!"

"I DID NOT!"

"DAMN IT, ALUCARD, WOULD YOU STOP IT!" Integra snapped over her shoulder, glaring at him. The vampire bared his fangs slightly and sulked, starting to disappear from view. "That's right, go and sulk. Maybe then you can behave yourself."

"Um..Sir Integra?" Seras piped up, looking a little bit guilty. "I don't mean to cut this short...I mean, I'd really like to get to know Harley, but.." She trailed off, rubbing the back of her neck. Integra nodded while the teen blinked. "Thank you, Sir." The blonde vampire gave a very small smile and turned, walking toward the basement. Harley watched her and sighed.

"I'm sorry..I didn't mean to upset her..." She said to Integra, who shook her head. "Wait, I'm innocent?"

"Miss Seras hasn't been...in very high spirits as of late," Walter explained, crossing his arms. "She won't sleep, won't eat. And we don't know why. Don't take it personally, Miss Harley, but I don't think that she'll be up for any of your..antics." He smiled slightly when he said it since it was the only word to really explain what Harley liked to do. Even though she was 15, she was still a little like a child, as in she loved to play games. Though they constantly argued, Harley really loved Alucard since he was somewhat of a playmate and big brother. She'd love anyone who'd spend some time with her and do something fun.

And refused to acknowledge anyone who didn't.

Integra chuckled. "Nice choice of words, Walter," She said and smiled at Harley. "Don't worry about her. By vampiric standards, she's very, very young and hasn't exactly accepted the fact that she's a night-walker. I'm sure she'll be over it soon. But in the meantime, why don't you go get settled into your room?" Harley nodded, taking her backpack from Walter, who had taken out of the limoit after she superman-ed out of it.

"Alright," She agreed, though she sounded a little bit disappointed. "..Do I have to stay in it?"

"As long as you promise not to go and pick a fight with Alucard," Came the reply. She sulked a tiny bit. "Come on, now, you'll be here for a few weeks. Why annoy him to much now when he has a chance to retaliate?" Apparently, this was the right thing to say, and Harley smiled brightly, nodding.

"Yes, ma'am!" She said, saluting and giggling. She happily trotted to her room, leaving Integra and Walter alone, who sighed slightly.

"One would believe she would have calmed down by now," the butler mused. "Yet, it seems like she has so much energy, she doesn't know what to do with herself."

"We have to remember that she doesn't get many chances to actually calm down. That Lukas keeps a leash around her as tight as I keep mine on Alucard. You saw how she completely ignored him when he left. You don't usually do that unless that person seriously pissed you off. And with him, that's quite possible," Integra explained as they walked to her office. Her dislike of the man was quite clear. She agreed on Harley's feelings for her guardian, even if both never voiced their opinion.

"At least you let Alucard have some breathing room," Walter said. "But he doesn't. I feel sorry for the poor thing. I know that you had much duty at her age, but at least you could be yourself." Whenever Harley was around Lukas, she was very quiet, polite, and obedient. Get her alone, and she was wild and hyper.

But happy.

Integra sat in her chair at her desk and sighed again. "Let's just hope she can contain herself long enough for Alucard to calm down.."

Seras felt a little bad for leaving Harley-She had seen the tiny look of hurt in those blue eyes- but she couldn't help it. She just had to get away from everyone and didn't understand why. She had felt strangely cornered when Harley apologized, even threatened by the bundle of energy possessed by her.

Seras didn't like it one bit.

But she couldn't help it. True, she felt horrible as she walked down the basement to her room, but soon, the guilt was replaced by a strange ache she had been feeling lately. And, once again, she couldn't explain it. It was annoying. It was a mystery. It hurt. And it was starting to make her a little bit angry. Sure, she never enjoyed drinking blood, only doing so when she saw it absolutely neccasary, but what could be effecting her so much that she couldn't sleep? That she was talking back to Alucard? That she couldn't even be around a teenager that she would normally get along with easily?

The hell if she knew.

Sighing heavily, the Police Girl flopped onto her bed and curled into a ball, wishing for some answers.

An hour later, Harley was happily hopping down the basement stairs,a bucket full of ice and a blood packet in each hand. She had convinced Walter to let her go and give the two vampires their meal, as long as she behaved herself. Now, she had a chance to talk to Seras and find out what was bugging her. She didn't like seeing anyone down and liked helping if she could. Plus, she had a chance to go into Alucard's room.

A grin grew on her face as she thought of the elder vampire's heavily protected and secret room. She was one of the few people who'd actually been allowed to go into it. It wasn't that impressive; In fact, it was extremely bland, moody, and too dark for the teenager's taste. She just liked seeing him squirm whenever she checked out his coffin.

Sadistic?

Yes.

Funny?

Extremely.

But first, Seras' room. Hope it isn't as empty as Alucard's... She thought, knocking on the door. "Seras? It's Harley!" She said ina cheery voice. "I got ya blood!" She waited a few moments and a reply and didn't recieve any. She knocked louder. "Hey, I know you gotta be hungry! I mean, sheesh, you guys live off liquids only..."

The heavy door opened and Harley was greeted by a very depressed looking Seras. "Oh...Harley," She said in a monotone. "Sorry. I couldn't hear you."

"That's aight," Harley said, slipping past Seras and into the room. She would have put her hands on her hips if she could, since the room was void of all things she believed any civilized being would possess, such as a television, a playstation, a stereo. She put one of the buckets on the table and stretched. "Aw, that feels better! Those things are heavier than they look! And Walter lugs these things around?"

Seras didn't answer, closing the door and keeping her eyes on the floor. "...I know that they're heavy but...I don't want the blood," She said, quietly, walking over to her coffin and sitting on the edge. "Sorry." She half expected Harley to at least look disappointed, but this did not happen. Instead, Harley just smiled.

"I know you don't want it," She said, sitting down in a chair. "Kinda can't blame you. It seems gross, but hey, I'm not a vampire, why should I complain?" She looked at Seras. "Still, denyin' blood is like denyin' food. Not very bright." She tapped her head as she said this. "And you don't seem like a dumb blonde at all, so what gives?"

Seras blinked, actually looking up, her crimson eyes locking onto blue ones. "My...reason?" Harley nodded. "Well...I...I guess..." She faltered, sighing heavily. "In all honesty, I don't really know. Everyone gets on my case about how I shoud drink..But...I just don't...feel like it."

"Feel like it?" Harley repeated, crossing her arms. Seras noticed a tatoo on each and made a mental note to ask about it later. "No offense...But how can you NOT feel like drinking it? Walter said you haven'tfed in, like, 3 days. Maybe it's cause I've been around Alucard so much, but I don't think I've ever seen him ever miss a meal. Ever."

Seras frowned, lookinga little bit wounded. "That's my Master for you. Of course he wouldn't miss a meal." He has no idea how I feel.

Harley stared a her a few moments before walking over and sitting down beside her. "Yo, did he try to do something to you to make you so upset?" She asked seriously. "Cause if he did, I can get him back for you." The blonde shook her head. "...You homesick? Miss being a human? Just feel down?"

"...I don't know," Seras sighed. "I feel a little bit..empty, you know?" I can't believe I'm opening up to someone I don't even know. But..it kinda feels better to try and explain it. And without having to deal with...disappointment. In her mind's eye, she could see her Master's dark crimson eyes gazing at her, full of disappoinment and even a little disdain. And it hurt.

Harley nodded, standing up suddenly. Seras blinked as she picked up the bucket meant for Alucard. "Hey, let me go give this to Alucard," She said, smiling again. "And then I gotta go take care of something." She winked. "Thanks for opening up a little. You can trust me. I'll get you feeling better in no time!"

And before Seras could say anything, the teen was skipping out the door, humming UB40's "Falling in Love with You." She sighed a little and then smiled, eyeing the blood and crawling back into her coffin.

"Alucard! I got your blood and I'm coming in, so you better get rid of all those undead hookers!" Harley announced, pushing open the heavy door with some effort. She was greeted by a pair of annoyed red eyes and smiled in response. "See?" She held up the bucket before placing it on the wooden table.

"You need some new jokes," Alucard growled lowly, glaring at her. "That's one is getting old." She ignored him, wakling around the familiar room. It was very dark, the only light coming from a few candles, and empty except for a few stacks of books here and there. There were two coffins; One a solid black with some sort of inscription on it about Hermes, and another that looked like Seras'. That one was mechanical, unlike the other, which was the real thing.

"I swear you hide all your porn in there," She commented, pointing to the black one and smirking. "You never let me look and see." His glare intensified, but she was unfazed. "What? Got some gay crap in there? Leather outfits? All that SM deal?"

"You're not funny," He said again, crossing his arms. "But I thank you for bringing me the blood. Now, if there isn't anything else, let me be." Of course, the vampire highly doubted she would. Harley never went down into the basement unless she wanted something. She hated it down there, he knew she did. She may talk big, but she didn't like the dark very much. Even now she was nervous, though her expression didn't betray it.

"I will..." She said, stretching again and taking the blood bag from the bucket. Alucard's eyes widened slightly from behind his sunglasses. "As soon as you tell me what's bothering Seras."

"Saw it coming," He muttered under his breath and glaring at her again. "I don't know. And if I did, don't you think I would have fixed it by now?"

"Nope," She replied, crossing her arms, still holding the blood bag. She glared back at him.

"Why?" He snapped. "She's my fledgling, why wouldn't I take care of her?" He was eyeing the blood bag now, feeling his hunger start to rise. Whether she knew what she was doing to him, he didn't know, but she was playing dirty. He was hungry, but there's no way she would give up the blood bag until she got what she wanted. And if he got near her, he might do something that he'd regret later.

Harley shrugged. "Have you asked her?" He nodded. "And she didn't tell you anything." Another nod. "..You read her mind?" He hesitated but nodded. "...You suck.."

"Oh, shut up, like you can get anything out of her," Alucard snapped again, baring his fangs at her. She smirked.

"Actually, I did!"

"And?"

"...She said she feels empty."

Alucard almost fell out of his chair. Instead, he took off his sunglasses. "Of course she feels empty. She hasn't eaten in a while. I feel empty too, since you're holding my meal hostage..." Harley smirked, holding it up.

"You want it?" She teased, throwing it up a little and catching it. "Then come and get it!" Immediently, Alucard lunged and missed when she ducked down, giggling and running past him. He twitched and took off after her, yelling obsceneties the entire way.

"You've gotten soft, Alucard!" She taunted, running up the stairs with the furious and very hungry vampire trailing after her. She knew that he could easily catch her, but of course, he was too hungry to be thinking about phasing in front of her. "Slowpoke! Slowpoke!"

All of a sudden, Harley's foot caught onto one of the steps and she tripped, slamming into the ground. She yelped in pain and surprise while Alucard made a truimphant shout, reaching for the blood bag. She grabbed it, missed, and ended up on his arm.

"Let. Go," He said, smirking evilly. She glared at him and was about to snap at him when a date on the blood bag caught her eye: 2/14.

February 14th.

Harley suddenly grinned. "Alucard! You're a genuis!" She shouted, hugging his arm and letting go of it, dropping to the floor. The vampire blinked in confusion, watching her run up the stairs toward Integra's office.

"Alucard?" Walter said, walking up to him. "Is everything alright?"

"...I think that Harley just fell and hit her head a little too hard.." Alucard replied, sighing and sipping his well-deserved meal.

Integra arched an eyebrow when Harley rushed in, smiling and panting. She noticed a tiny bit of red on her knee and a slight bump on her forehead. "...Yes, Harley?" She asked as the teenager ran over, sitting down in a chair. "Are you alright?"

"Never mind that!" Harley said, her eyes bright. "I just got a brillant idea!"
