Am I the only person that ever noticed how much Vincent of Final Fantasy VII looks like Alucard and how much Cid looks like Father Anderson? They seriously look so much alike! o.O Tis eerie...
Anyways, thank you all for the reviews! You guys are just awesome and I love to see Harley rubbing off on you guys!..And one more thing...I'm also very glad that you guys understand the fact that this is NOT a Hellsing and Silent Hill Crossover. I got two reviews stating that it was...And I got a little upset since they didn't bother to read any of the other chapters. n-n But then I remembered all you other peeps who leave me nice reviews, so I got happy! And the fluff will be coming soon, but Harley's evil little plot must be set into motion.
har: n-n I'm evil!
o.o Yes you are.
BTW, I want to give a special thanks to Jimmy who kept telling me to get my butt in gear and write, and Selenity who deemed this review worthy. And to everyone else!
Disclaimer: I only own Harley. XP
"NO."
"But!"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT."
"Let me just!"
"NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS."
"Integra!"
"FORGET IT."
Harley glared at the woman in front of her, defiance blazing in her bright blue eyes that was met with the stony look in the darker ones in front of her. She crossed her arms and sulked. "Can I just say what I got to say?" She snapped, a little upset.
"You already did," Integra snapped back. "And the answer is NO." A few minutes ago, Harley had come running in, looking ecstatic though she had a large bump on her head. Which was what Integra blamed for the idea that the teenager presented her with. There couldn't be another explanation for it. The blonde couldn't stand seeing Harley distraught, but there didn't seem to be any way around out.
"There is absolutely no way that we are going to have a Valentine's Day party-"
"-Ball," The teen instantly corrected, earning another glare.
"Whatever. It doesn't matter-"
"Does too."
"And why is that?"
"'Cause ANYONE can throw a party, but a select few can actually say that they threw a ball. It's simple logic."
"You mean twisted logic.."
"Call it what you will, I'm right either way." Harley coudn't hide her smug look as Integra tried to come up with a worthy answer but couldn't. So instead, she took another route.
"Fine. Let's talk hypothetically. If I did throw this little ball, who would I invite? Why would we even be throwing it? Would we have music? What kind? Do we hire a singer or a band? What type of food? Decorations? There are so many questions to be answered, it seems like too much trouble," She explained, leaning back in her chair. "You don't just randomly decide to throw a par-ball."
"Why not?" Harley asked, putting her hands on the desk. "What's the matter with being a little impulsive now and then? I think it could be fun! We could do it for all the soldiers and their girlfriends, or boyfriends, or whatever. I think they deserve as much. And we could invite...Well...What about those Vaticans? That Iscariot thing that likes to mess with you guys?"
"I see Walter has been informing you of some things.." She sighed, looking for a cigar. "Besides. They hate us. Like they would actually come."
"It could be like a peace offering." Integra gave her the evil eye. "Hey, don't look at me like that! I'm being serious." The blonde then shrugged.
"Ok. Fine. We throw it for the Section XIII, the soldiers, various other peoples of importance. That still doesn't seem like a very good reason to put so much time and effort into this."
Integra was starting to give; Harley could tell. She smiled brightly. There was a method to her madness, a reason to her insanity. She rarely did things as radical as this without a good reason, a reason that actually benefited others. "Well, I have one, as a matter of fact."
"Oh?"
She nodded. "I think I know what's the matter with Seras." Integra perked up a little at the Police Girl's name.
"You mean other than the fact she is rejecting the two things both her human and vampire sides need?"
"She's heart-sick"
Integra STARED at her. And Harley stared back. "...Heart-sick..."
"Yes."
"..You're telling me...that the Police Girl...is heart-sick."
" 'S what I said."
"..You're..joking..right? She's depressed because she's heart-sick? Won't eat, won't sleep? Can't barely even muster up enough energy to move?"
"Is there an echo in here?" Harley asked, looking around and putting her hands on her hips. "And I am serious. I mean, think about it. She's a vampire surrounded by humans that probably don't see her past anything more than a strong ally. Probably don't even show the littlest bit of concern for her. Wouldn't you be lonely?"
"What about Alucard?" Integra asked and immediently regreted it when she saw Harley's blank look. Because in that teen's mind, Alucard was a stick figure with a hat and large, pointy teeth. "Ok, scratch that question.."
"Wait a sec." She sat down in the chair again, looking suddenly and suspiciously sweet. "From what ya just said, I guess I'm right about all those soldiers. But what about Alucard and Seras? How do they act toward each other? I kinda get the feeling he feels something for her, since he did try to figure out what was wrong with her and came up blank."
The blonde thought about it for a moment. Now that she thought about it, she wasn't exactly sure. She didn't see Alucard and Seras together that much. Then again, she usually just saw Alucard, but that something different. "Well..." She began, lighting her cigar. "It's a little complicated, I suppose with Alucard being who he is and she being who she is. They are alike in a few ways, but those are just a few. They're different from each other, and it shows. Seras still hasn't quite accepted her fate yet, and that frustrates Alucard to no end. He looks down upon her for that. He loves teasing her about her humanity...And she usually doesn't fight back, doesn't retiliate at all"
"But I want to know how they feel about each other." Harley had that look in her eye that said the gears in her head were turning, whether it was the better or the worst. Integra suddenly had a feeling about what she was getting at and didn't exactly like it.
"If you're thinking what I'm thinking, there's no possible way," She said, inhaling deeply. "None what-so-ever, so I suggest you stop that litle plan of yours before you get burned. Trust me."
"What plan?" She asked innocently, her eyes smiling. "I'm not planning anything. 'Cept that V-Day Ball..." Integra then sighed, defeated and tired. She wasn't going to fight Harley anymore. It was like trying to convince Alucard not to drink his blood: Not very smart with some nasty outcomes.
"Ok. Fine. You win. I'll do it. BUT," She said as Harley started to lunge for her, "You have to behave yourself, and you have to help with it, and you can't complain about anything. Understood?"
Harley nodded, hugging her briefly before smiling and nearly skipped out. "If you need me, I'll be in my room playing DDR!"
"Dance Dance Revolution?"
"Nope. Death Death Revolution."
Harley stretched and yawned as she walked down the stairs leading down to the basement the next evening. After her talk with Integra, she had indeed played DDR until at least midnight, which was around the time she nearly passed out from exhaustion. Which had been a huge relief to Alucard, who had found himself humming along to "Butterfly", much to his chagrin.
She had woke up around eight or nine, got some breakfast and hung out with Walter, groaning about how much it sucked waiting for the night to come and Alucard and Seras to wake up. Walter had expected this and entertained her with his dubbed "Dental Floss of Doom" until Integra had snapped and told them both to go do something productive. So Harley ended up reading some old Stephen King novels until about five, when she truly couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hope Alucard isn't as grumpy as he used to be," She muttered to herself, walking past Seras' door and into the darkness, gulping in spite of herself. Alucard wasn't exactly chipper when he first wakes up; If he has it his way, he'll sleep until ten or so at night. So waking him before sun is set wasn't exactly smart. But she was a girl who liked taking risks, even if they involved a uber vampire.
She pushed open the heavy door and looked around in the darkness, spotting his brown coffin and carefully walking over to it. "Alucard?" She, of course, got no reply and knocked on the wood. "Oh, Alucard! Time to wakey wakey!" She waited for a moment before glaring at the coffin and climbing on top of it.
And jumping up and down. "AL!U!CARD! WAKE! UP! YOU! STUPID! UBER! VAMPIRE! I! HAVE! SOMETHING! IM!POR!TANT! TO! TELL! YO" Before she could finish the last word, the coffin swung open, and Harley found herself slammed into the opposite wall. Which was extremely painful.
While she slid down the wall, Alucard looked around sleepily and glared at her when she was spotted. "What do you want!" He snapped. "I was trying to sleep!"
"Owwww..." She groaned, holding her head, which now had another large bump. "That hurt..Really badly..." She rubbed it furiously as Alucard rolled his eyes, climbed out of the coffin, and walked over to her. "You big meanie...I think I forgot what the capital of Quebec was.."
"Montreal. Now what do you want?" He asked, rubbing his eyes. "And it better be good..."
"Sheesh, I just wanted to tell you what I got Integra to do!" Harley snapped, though it was weakly. She now had a raging headache. "She's gonna through some party for Valentine's Day...We both figure it'll cheer Seras up since you sure as heck-" He hit her on the head. "OWWW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"
"For being stupid," He replied simply. "That has got to be the dumbest idea I ever heard. A party? How is that going to cheer her up? She's probbaly just depressed because she hasn't gone out in so long." Harley glared knives at him.
"You're the stupid one!" She snapped. "You don't even really know what's wrong with her! How do YOU know she just needs some fun?"
"Okay, smart-ass, tell me what YOU think is wrong with her!" Alucard snapped back, both glaring at each other.
"I think she's just love-sick!" Alucard stared at her like she had lost her mind. "What? I think she is!"
"You've hit your head one too many times.."
"IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU JERK!"
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ISN'T THINKING!"
"SHUT UP! STUPID VAMPIRE!"
WHAM!
"AHHH! INTEGRA! ALUCARD HIT BE! AGAIN!"
