This is a very short Chapter... fair warning.

Chapter Eight:

Covering Up

Integra walked into her office with a sigh. She had only hoped that Alucard was on his best behavior while Angel was in her denile. She opened her bag and pulled out some files. She only wondered where they were. Knowing how Angel was, she was probably still in a room, blaming herself. She walked over to the file cabinet next to the door and opened it. Suddenly, she heard giggling in the hall. She raised an eyebrow and peeped outside the door. Her eyes widen as she saw Alucard pinning Angel to the wall.

"You are such a tease." Angel whispered, looking at him. Alucard smirked and whispered, "I know.. but you're the one who's been naughty." Angel blushed a bit and stated, "Naughty? Me? I must say, you have me mistaken with someone else, Alucard." Alucard leaned forward, inches away from her lips. "Is that so..." he growled.

"Amen..."

Angel's eyes widen as she realized who it was. She had to think of something quick. "And that's how women seduce men." Angel stated, pushing Alucard out of the way. Alucard blinked a few times and then replied, "Oh? Oh... right... you really had me there..." he stated, walking passed Integra. "Well, I see that you are feeling better." Integra stated, looking at Angel. Angel returned the look and replied, " Well, I know that Ryuku wouldn't want me to blame myself all the time." Integra looked at Alucard and then at Angel. "How about you take her out for the night. She probably hasn't been outside since that day." Integra stated. Alucard looked at his Master and replied, "If that's what you want."

Alucard walked along side of Angel as they walked around town. There was so much that was still up in the air... but he had to admit that what had happened two nights ago... well, that was just wonderful. He looked over at her and wondered just how much in... love they were in. He felt her hand slide into his and he made eye contact with her. "I didn't say thank you for earlier... Did I?" she asked, not looking at him. Alucard closed his gloved hand around hers and stopped. He pulled her close and whispered, in her ear, "No... but I think we can arrange something." Angel looked at him with loving eyes and replied, "Really? Just what kind of arragement?" she asked. He placed his hand on her cheek and replied, "You know... just about anything..." Angel looked at him with a sly look and asked, "When you mean anything... you mean something that has to do with us... right...?"Alucard's grip tighten and she knew exactly what he wanted. "Well... I think you get the idea." he stated. Angel turned around and pulled him along with her. "Well, I don't think we can. It seems that Integra may be onto us. And you know she never gives up when it comes down to solving something." Alucard knew that this was true. Like when the whole Nazi thing happened, he was working around the clock, none stop... He looked at her and pulled her back. He wrapped his arms around her and he whispered, "We don't have to go back to Hellsing." Angel felt a chill go up her spine as she closed her eyes. "Is that so..." she whispered, feeling his kiss against her cheek. "She doesn't have to know..." Angel turned around, looked at him, and fisted her hands in his red coat. "You're a naughty Vampire..." she whispered, her eyes glowing with lust. He kissed her right eye and whispered, "You never told me why your right eye is crimson." Angel pushed herself closer to him, making him growl. "It means that I belong to you... remember when you said that you couldn't really see out of your right eye... it's like a gift... if you will." she told him. Alucard kissed her cheek and whispered, "There are other ways to recieve a gift." Angel smirked and replied, "We better get out of here before we end up in some alley, screwing each other." Alucard looked into her eyes. He knew good and well that she wanted this as well, but he didn't want to go back to Hellsing. He really wanted her right then and there. He knew that if they did go back to Hellsing, there wouldn't be a chance for him to actually have her.

"We don't have to go back to Hellsing..." she whispered, as if to read his mind. Alucard showed her a wicked smirk and Angel giggled. "That's the Alucard I've grown to love..." she purred.

Integra walked into the great hall and heard the door open. Alucard and Angel walked in, Angel smiling while Alucard had a blank expression on his face. "Thanks for taking me out." Angel stated. Alucard shrugged and watched as Angel headed for the stairs. Alucard then looked at his Master and asked, " Is something the matter?" Integra said nothing, but contiued her way down to her other office. Alucard sighed and knew that it would be hard to keep his hands off of Angel while in the Hellsing Organization. He sighed again and headed upstairs. Suddenly, he heard his Master yelling his name. "Great... I can't even get in the door without her yelling at me." he thought, turning around. He walked down the hall and entered his Master's downstairs office. "Yes?" he asked. Integra looked at him and replied, "We just go word from the Queen that there has been three murders. She said it may be connected with the others." Alucard looked at her. "They were Half Breeds?" he asked. Integra shook her head. "No, this time they were Human. It has to be that Shadow guy who was after Angel." she stated. Alucard took off his sunglasses and closed his eyes. "So, what do you want meto do?" he asked. "Take Angel with you and go look at the crime scene. If it was this Shadow guy's fault, then I need you to find him and get rid of him. He's causing a problem which the Queen doesn't like." Integra explained. Alucard nodded and turned to head out the door. "Just exactly where is the crime scene?" he asked.

"It's about two miles from here." Integra and Alucard looked at Angel as she stood in the hall. "You know where it's at?" Integra asked. Angel looked at the woman with blonde hair. "Yeah... I can smell the blood. You can always smell blood when it's Human related." she stated. Alucard placed on his sunglasses and walked out into the hall. Angel followed him and only hoped that nothing would go wrong. She didn't want to lose him again.
