Thanks for all the reviews everyone! As always, they mean so much to me. I liked seeing what names you wanted to name the kitty. XD They made me laugh! o.o There was one name that we couldn't use: Sora. Why? Quite simple, actually. We all have alter egos and mine is named Sora. o.o She's the exact opposite of Relics. And if you ever met Relics/Sora, you'd be meeting Sora first.

Anyways, enough about that. The next few weeks will be UBER busy for me, but I will have the chapters up by either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Depends on how much time I have to type and how fast Itaki..o.O does whatever she does!

Disclaimer: I only own Harley, and Harley is the name of the one I own, and she shall be owned as Harley.


Seras stared at the kitten.

The kitten stared back.

It had been this way for about an hour. Seras was still getting over the shock of Alucard's action. The kitten was just happy to be inside. The coffin-bed was suprisingly warm, and it had started becoming cloudy outside. The blonde was trying to come up with a name for the small animal and couldn't seem to find any that fit.

"Hmm...Sunshine? No...Sora? No, no..." She sighed, stretching. "...What do you think you should be named?" The kitten crawled into her lap, purring softly. "I thought so..." She sighed again, petting her. "You really are an adorable kitten...I can't believe that Master would get something so...innocent."

At that moment, Seras' door opened. She jumped and blinked as Alucard walked in, a pail containing her blood in one hand, the other holding his stomach. While Seras and the kitten bonded, he had just spent the last hour in the bathroom extremely sick and feeling like Harley had somehow, someway, staged the entire thing. Harley was now in her room, also wishing she was dead and refusing to move for anything. Poor Alucard had walked out of the bathroom and was handed Seras' blood by Walter, who was trying very hard not to laugh.

This was the second time he'd seen Alucard like this; The first had been a few years ago when he and the vampire had an extreme drinking contest. Walter didn't really know why they had this drinking contest; It was probably a product of extreme boredom. Well, the bulter had half a bottle of Jose Quervo Tequila. Alucard had the whole thing. Somehow, Walter was able to keep the alcohol down until morning while it only took Alucard an hour until it hit him.

He may be an extremely powerful vampire, but he didn't deal with human food and drink very well.

And modern appliances.

"Master?" Seras said in a concerned tone. Alucard really didn't look well at all, his hair in front of his eyes, his skin paler than usual, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he was grimacing. "What happened?"

He didn't answer, sitting down in a chair, putting the bucket on the table and laying his head down, groaning softly. "I...hate...ice cream..."He muttered. Seras stared at him curiously. "Stupid kid...Can't eat...Stomach hurts..."

"...Do I want to know?"

"I really don't want to talk about it..."

Seras was content with this and picked up the blood packet, slightly grimacing also. She sat down on the bed, picking up the kitten and petting her. There was a moment of silence before Alucard turned his head towards her. "What're you naming it?" He asked, and the Police Girl shrugged.

"I can't decide," She replied, eyeing him a little suspiciously. It wasn't like him to just make conversation out of the blue. It was making her a little wary. The kitten hopped out of her lap and jumped onto the table. It was a suprising feat for something so small, but the kitten seemed unfazed as she walked over to Alucard and crawled onto his head.

He gave it a half-hearted glare. "Name it Bug," He said. Seras giggled a little. "Or Pest. Or Bob...Name it Martini."

"Master, we can't name her after a drink," She laughed, walking over to them and patting the kitten's head. "She's so soft...And cute! We have to name her something with...personality."

"Why? A rose by any other name still smells as sweet," He quoted.

"William Shakespeare, right?" Seras asked. Alucard shrugged.

"Yeah...You should have been here the time the little monster made me help her understand his plays..." He shivered. "...I hate plays..." Seras smiled, making Alucard note she'd been doing that a lot lately. He put his head into his arms, much to the kitten's annoyance, who hopped down and glared at him. "Aw, bite me."

"She just might, Master. Cats can hold grudges," She warned. Alucard "tch"-ed, ignoring the furball. "...How about Mince?"

"Mince?" Alucard looked up. "...Do what you want, it's your cat..."

"...But...You gave her to me." She felt a light blush coming on and busied herself with the kitten. "You should have some say in it.." The vampire chuckled, though it hurt his stomach a little, and sat up.

"Thanks but no thanks, Police Girl. The cat's all yours. Name it what you want. It doesn't matter to me." He eyed her slightly. "...And drink your blood."

Seras made a face and sighed. She wasn't going to argue. But just because she was going to drink the blood, it didn't mean that she would do it peacefully. "Yes, Master," She said obediently, sitting on the bed, Mince in her lap. She poked a straw into it and started to take tiny sips. Alucard watched her and, though he still felt sick, he still hadn't had his blood. Harley had taken care of that for him. But there was no way he was going to go ask Walter for another blood packet and get laughed at again.

Once a night was enough for him.

The blood made Seras feel a whole lot better, but she noticed Alucard's slightly hungry look. He turned his head away, glaring a hole into the wall, wondering how much trouble he'd get into for tieing Harley to a tree. "...Master?"

"Yes, Police Girl?"

"Did you have your blood already?"

Alucard winced. "...No...And I won't be." Seras stared at him. This was certainly different; For once, she was being the good vampire, and he was being the one who refused to drink blood. He saw her questioning look and sighed. "Let's just say my blood had an...accident. And I won't go and bother Walter for more."

Now, while Seras seriously doubted that Alucard wouldn't bother someone when it came to his blood, but didn't push the subject. Instead, she smiled slightly, and took one big gulp of the blood. She stood up and walked over to her Master. "Here." She put the packet down beside him and walked back to her bed.

Alucard stared at it and then to her. She was smiling very brightly. "It's alright, Master. I feel better now. I left you half. That'll be enough to stop your hunger, right?" He nodded, feeling strange, almost awkward suddenly. He was a powerful vampire who didn't like depending much on others. He had a huge ego; He knew it and made sure everyone around him knew it.

But Seras' simple gesture made him feel almost humble. He felt a strange warmth and nearly growled at it. "...Police Girl...You need it more than me," He replied a little weakly, eyeing her. She shook her head, petting Mince more.

"Really, Master. You have it. Besides, I don't think I can stomach anymore." She smiled more at him. "Think of it as a way to repay you for such a sweet gift." Alucard felt genuinely touched and was about to drink the blood when he felt his stomach start backflipping. He turned green and clamped a hand over his mouth. "Master?"

BATHROOM! NOW! The elder vampire nearly screamed in his fledgling's head. She yelped slightly and pushed him toward the direction of it. He bolted, barely making it. This time, he was much sicker than before. Mince hid under a pillow while Seras rubbed his back soothingly.

"It'll be alright, Master...It'll be over in a second...You just have to get it out of your system..." She said comfortingly while Alucard was mentally asking for permission to shoot Harley. Finally, his stomach seemed to start calming down, and Alucard dragged himself to the table, slumping in his seat.

"...Feel better?" Seras asked, and he shook his head. "I think it maybe over now..."

"..Remind me to seriously maim that shrimp..." He growled, laying his head back onto his arms. She sweatdropped, still rubbing his back.

"No need for violence, Master."

"It'll make me feel better."

"And make Sir Integra furious with you."

Alucard had no reply to this, so the silence returned. This time, it stayed for a long time before a clap of thunder suddenly shook the Hellsing manor. Seras jumped nearly three feet, Mince meowed loudly, and Alucard deathglared the cieling.

"Oh, SHUT UP!" He snapped at the heavens. His reply was another roar of thunder. "Oh, boo-hoo, did I hurt your feelings?"

"Master...The thunderstorm can't hear you..."

Alucard didn't answer, still glaring at the cieling. "Tch...Stupid storm...What time is it?"

Seras looked at the clock and was suprised to find it close to almost four in the morning. They had both just spent nearly the entire night together without any teasings, mockings, or provokings, though they hadn't spoken a lot. Alucard had drank the blood as soon as he was sure he wasn't going to throw it up, but that was...what, almost two hours ago?

Time flies when you're just laying around.

"3:45, Master," She answered, looking at him when he suddenly sat up, narrowing his eyes. "What is it?"

"Oh, no..." He muttered, standing up and starting to walk out. Seras put Mince on her shoulder and scrambled after him as he walked quickly to his room, phasing through the door. Her eye twitched slightly since she had to open the door. She was about to put her hand on the handle before hesitating suddenly. She had never been in Alucard's room except perhaps once. He was extremely protective of his room, letting a very few actually come in.

Seras hadn't because she wanted to respect his privacy. Plus, she didn't know what she'd see. Mince meowed softly on her head, as if encouraging her. She smiled at the dark kitten and opened the door, walking in. She sweatdropped when she found one of Alucard's coffins open, the owner holding up a small figure.

"...Harley..." The vampire growled at the teen, who looked half asleep. She was dressed in a baggy t-shirt and shorts, like Seras, but her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. "Why are you in my room? More importantly, sleeping in one of my coffins?"

"Uhhhh.." The teen muttered, yawning. "I had a bad dream...And got all scared..." Alucard's right eye twitched slightly. "The bad things were after me again..." Thunder boomed again, and Harley nearly screamed, latching onto his arm, shivering almost violently. "AND IT'S THUNDERING!"

The vampire groaned, resisting the urge to hit her. "Harley...You're fifteen...You're too old to act like this.." The teen didn't answer, too busy having a death-grip on his arm.

"I'm scared," She said in a childish voice. "..I don't like the bad things.." While Seras pondered on what the "bad things" were, Alucard sighed and looked at the sleepy teenager.

"Harley, why were you sleeping down here?" He asked. He couldn't believe she was in his coffin; She was a little claustrophobic and would start to panic.

"'Cause I don't like sleeping by myself."

Seras walked over to them. "Harley? Want us to come stay with you until the storm's over?" She asked, ignoring the outraged look on Alucard's face. She nodded, yawning and flinching at more thunder. "Alright then. Let's go, Master."

Police Girl? What in the world do you think you're doing? Alucard silently asked, glaring at her a little.

Master, if we stay with her until she goes to sleep, she won't have to come down here and bother you, She replied. Besides, there are a lot of people who are scared of thunder and have nightmares...But what are these "Bad things" she keeps talking about?

Heh...Ever since she was young, she's had nightmares about the night her parents died, even though she can'tconciously remember it. The bad things must be ghouls or something. I don't know. They're just dreams. They can't hurt anyone.

Seras nodded as they walked to Harley's room. She noticed all the electronic devices the teen had set up and smiled slightly to herself as Alucard gave the Playstation a wary look. "Alright, shrimp, we're here. Get in the bed and go to sleep," He grumbled, sliding the girl off his arm. She did, though she wouldn't let go of his wrist.

"No, get in with me.." She mumbled, and Alucard glared at her.

"There's no way-"

"-That we wouldn't," Seras cut in, giving her Master a look that said "Just do it for her." He gave her his total warfare smirk, which she countered with her disarming and innocent grin. "Just do it, Master. Please?"

The elder vampire rolled his eyes and flopped down beside the teen, sulking. Seras put Mince down on Harley's stomach, sliding in the middle. She was a little surprised that the bed could fit all three of them quite comfortably. She and Alucard layed on their backs while Harley curled up at the very edge of the bed.

"Thanks..." Harley muttered, yawning and quickly falling asleep. Mince hopped up onto Alucard's chest, curling into a ball and also going to sleep. The vampire felt extremely close to screaming and/or killing something, but managed to supress the urge.

"..Can we leave now?" He asked after a few minutes, yawning in spite of himself.

"No, Master...The second we do, she'll wake up..." Seras replied sleepily. It was getting close to dawn, and both were starting to feel tired.

"How do you know..."

"Trust me on this..." They both yawned. Alucard pulled his hat over his eyes.

"I'm going to bed..." He muttered, but Seras was already asleep.


Harley woke up a little past nine. She groaned softly, stretching and blinking when she saw Mince sitting on her stomach, purring contently. "Hey, Kitty," She said softly, sitting up. Mince opened one eye and watched her before closing it and resuming her sleep. "How did you get up...?"

A soft snore from next to her answered her question. The teenager looked over and clamped a hand over her mouth to supress a laugh. Alucard and Seras were still with her, alright. Seras was laying on top of his chest, holding onto him tightly while Alucard was snoring, his hat lying on the floor. Both looked extremely content. Plus, Harley didn't know vampires could snore.

"Learn something new everyday," She muttered, climbing out of the bed with Mince in her arms. She threw the blanket over the couple, grinning.

"Sweet dreams, love birds..." She said and with that she walked out, giggling and couldn't wait to tell everyone that Seras and Alucard were sleeping together.


Sorry this was kinda late everyone. I've been very busy...And for SOME reason, I couldn't concentrate that much on anything! But that's over now. I hope everyone enjoys!

Adios!
