JackalGod: Another chapter

Anderson: Am I in this one?

JackalGod: Yes already will you shut up now?

Bakura woke up and stretched, it was barely even light outside. Looking around groggily waiting for his brain to start functioning properly his sleepy mind tried to recognise why he didn't recognise where he was

"Poor Master. You really aren't on top of thing early in the morning are you?" came Alucard's smooth voice in Bakuras head

"Please stay out of my head, Alucard." groaned Bakura curling up under the covers of his bed again. Almost as soon as had gotten comfortable a large amount of water covered him and he jumped out of bed with a shriek

"Now that you're up." began Alucard before he caught the look of loathing on his Masters face and a gun that was currently in the aforementioned Masters hand "I just wanted to get you up." he said innocently

"Eat silver vampire." hissed Bakura opening out a round of bullets in Alucard's...ah...nether regions. Grinning in satisfaction at the vampire cry of agony Bakura left his room being sure to stand on Alucard on the way out

"I'm not even going to ask." said Walter as Bakura walked into the kitchen

"So I guess I fell asleep on the plane?" said Bakura picking up a piece of toast from the pile in the centre of the table

"Flying didn't agree with you so I persuaded Alucard who was sitting the closest to you to put you out of your misery so to speak."

"Thanks Walter. I really hate flying." said Bakura "So why did Alucard want to come to Italy of all places?"

"I believe he wants to see if an old...cough...acquaintance of his is still alive."

"He was sealed for over a hundred year who could possibly be alive?" asked Bakura taking his second slice

"He's a regenerator who fights for the Vatican's Section Thirteen..." begun Walter

"The Iscariot Organisation?" finished Bakura

"How do you know?" asked Walter almost dropping the spatular in his hand as he made eggs

"Read about it." replied Bakura as if it were no big deal "They fight vampire's right?"

"Yes. But surely you would've then known about the Hellsing Organisation if you knew about Iscariot."

"There is a mention of a group of devils sworn to destroy the divine guidance that is Iscariot. But it doesn't mention who." said Bakura recalling a passage from the book he'd read

"Sounds like something Father Anderson would say." said Walter turning back to his eggs

"Anderson?"

"If I'm right he's the man Alucard wants to find. By the way I was unpacking your luggage and noticed your attachment to silver weapons."

"Oh yes." said Bakura eyes Walter

"I took the liberty of going over them and polishing your sword. It's a samurai sword am I correct?"

"Yes the blade is just under a metre and it's perfectly balanced. If you put your figure where the blade meets the hilt it will just balance there and not fall."

"That's Japanese craftsmanship for you. Although I've seen some lovely swords in my time nothing beat Japanese steel."

"So you polished it?"

"It's nice and shiny now. I thought you'd like it. As for your gun..."

"I've been meaning to get a new one but I keep forgetting."

"I'm happy to hear that. I made a replacer of Alucard's Jackal but of course, with new technology I've increased its power by fifty percent. I called that particular gun Yokai(sp), I thought it fitting for such a destructive gun."

"Japanese word for demon, sounds fun. What about ammo?"

"Blessed silver bullets. Or if you'd like I have mercury filled rounds and some exploding rounds."

"Silver's fine Walter but mercury that's something different."

"You'd be surprised how well they work." said Walter "Your gun and sword are in your top draw. From the sound of the shots before you were using the one on the desk?"

"Yeah I just grabbed it and shot." said Bakura

"That ones a copy of Casull, Alucard's other gun. It's called Crow thought I'm not sure why and it's more powerful of course. Some how I have a feeling Alucard going to be upset that you now have better weapons that him. But I'll be happy to upgrade his when he starts complaining."

"I'm sure he'll start complaining eventually he's Alucard. If he didn't I'd be checking him for some horrible illness."

"You know Master Hirano you've changed since you've come here."

"I have?"

"Yes. When you arrived in England, the only thing on your mind was starting afresh. Even if that meant killing me to get away. Yet now you're a lot calmer and more, ah hem, expressive with your emotions. You don't seem to care that you could possibly be hurting Alucard. Not that I sure he minds. In fact I bet he's glad he has a new Master to 'play' with."

On the other side of Rome a certain Father Anderson was just waking up

"Good morning Rome." he said looking out his window "How I wish I were seeing ye on better times. But alas England's troubles continue to become Italy's troubles." with a sigh he got out of bed and left his room, almost immediately a child came running up to him

"Father Anderson, good morning how are you."

"Just fine and ye?" replied Anderson smiling kindly

"I'm great. Father Brendan wants to speak with you he says it's really important." said the child

"Thank ye. I'll got straight away."

Father Anderson hurried through the corridors of the orphanage heading towards the lobby where he greeted Father Brendan enthusiastically and invited him inside

"What brings ye here Father Brendan?" he asked politely offering his guest some tea

"I'm afraid this is not the time for pleasantries Father Anderson. I realise that you peacefully retired yourself from vampire hunting to take care of the orphans and no one thinks poorly of you but the Iscariot Organisation needs you again."

"And why would that be." asked Anderson

"Hellsing is here in Rome." said Brendan

"What?" cried Anderson in shock "You can't be serious the last Hellsing died with no heir."

"They found one. Bakura Hirano from Japan. He may be young but he's a Hellsing."

"I see and why do you need me?" asked Anderson confused

"He had three pure blood vampires working for him."

"Three?"

"Seras Victoria, Walter Ddolnnez and Alucard." resited Brendan

"So he's back from being sealed." summed Anderson leaning back in his chair "I'll re join on one condition. Someone takes my place here at the orphanage."

"Of course we never once thought of leaving these children alone." assured Brendan

"Very well then I accept. Although after a hundred years of nothing my skills may be a little rusty."

"I'm sure after hunting some vampires your skills will be well oiled." said Brendan

"True," said Anderson raising his glass of water "To Iscariot and the late Father Maxwell."

"And to the fall of Hellsing." added Brendan

"Master come on I want to find him."

"Keep you pants on!" cried Bakura grabbing his gun and sword "Alucard!"

"What?" asked Alucard innocently

"Put your pants back on!" shrieked Bakura

"Yes Master." replied Alucard doing up his pants just as Walter walked in

"You had better find Anderson quickly Mistress Seras just called, apparently vampires have found our apartment and she's had to flee."

"Maybe we should return now." said Bakura but Alucard simply picked the boy up and walked out of the room

"Not a chance. I've waited over a hundred years for this and I'm not leaving Rome until I find that Priest."

"Whatever you say Alucard." sighed Bakura not bothering to struggle against Alucard's grip, he'd long since learnt that it was pointless.

Alucard and Bakura walked around Rome heading for the Vatican. Well more like Bakura was trying to keep up with Alucard

"Alucard slow down. I can't run as fast as you."

"You could run as fast as me if you were a vampire." replied Alucard grinning evilly

"But I'm not a vampire I'm a de... I mean I'm a human." said Bakura quickly. Alucard raised an eyebrow and tried to pry the answer out of his Masters head. Unfortunately, all he got was several bullets in his head a rather painful slash from Bakura's blessed silver sword. Alucard crumpled to the ground even though he regenerated quickly enough it still hurt.

"I've said before and I'm sure I'll say it again. Stay out of my head." ordered Bakura angrily still holding his sword and was surprised when Alucard looked up at him his face serious

"Yes, my Master."

"Are you alright?" asked Bakura confused. Alucard blinked apparently snapping out of his daze

"Yes I'm fine. Shall we continue?" Bakura nodded and they continued their walk

"You know I'm quite excited about meeting your friend."

"I wouldn't call him a friend, Master. We loath each other but he's wonderful to fight. He's tried to kill me on several occasions and I've ripped his arms off."

"Ouch."

"Thank ye for ye sympathy. But it won't get ye anywhere." came a heavily accented voice. Alucard and Bakura turned to see Anderson standing on a nearby roof

"Hello again Father Anderson." said Alucard (I know I couldn't resist he and the guy off the Matrix have the same name) "It's been to long since I've filled your body with my Jackal's bullets."

"Must you?" asked Bakura

"But of course." replied Alucard smiling

"If ye two have stopped chatting I'll be sending ye to hell."

"Been there and back." said Alucard and Bakura in unison. Alucard looked at his Master confused but Bakura gave him a look that said don't ask

"So ye're not just the new Hellsing but a vampire to?" asked Anderson pulling two beignets from his coat

"I'm not a vampire!" shrieked Bakura leaping up to Anderson sword ready. Just as he got there, Anderson jumped down but not before skewering the boy with one of his blessed weapons.

"One down." he said before diving towards Alucard who drew his Jackal and lazily shot Anderson's right arm off

"You killed my Master." drawled the vampire shooting off Anderson's left arm "Naughty, naughty. You must be punished for that."

"Bring it on filthy vampire." spat Anderson angrily seemingly unaware of his lack of arms. Alucard raised his gun and was about to fire when a large shadow on the roof caught his eye. Lowering his weapon he stared wide eyes as the shadow on the roof morphed into a black scaly demon with huge wings.

"What's wrong vampire?" asked Anderson confused that something would distract Alucard from their fight. Alucard didn't reply but simply pointed at the demon on the roof. Anderson hesitated then turned around and swore loudly as the demon screeched and dove out of the sky heading directly towards him. Anderson froze is shock. Alucard snapped out of his own stupor and shot the demon who growled in pain and jumped back, simply hovering as its wound healed.

"What on earth." cried Anderson stumbling backwards

"That was a demon from Hell." explained Alucard watching the creature intently "But how it got here is beyond me because it's only half demon."

"Half demon?" asked Anderson

"Had it been full demon it wouldn't have stopped when I shot it. Full demons can turn humans into half demons."

"Like vampires?"

"Same principal." replied Alucard "Half or not it'll be an interesting fight. But it's too tired now."

"As ye seem to have yer hands full. I'll kill ye another night." said Anderson and disappeared in a flurry of paper.

"Pathetic." said Alucard turning to the demon which had fallen to the ground it's wound only half healed. As Alucard watched in shock the demon was engulfed in shadows and transformed back into Bakura.
