Ok, there is a big storm coming to Florida and I am on the middle of the path. I am scared shitless so sorry if the grammar or wording or it just doesn't sound right. I needed to post to keep my mind off other things for now, since the storm will hit tonight or early in the morning. It sucks because I started a new painting and it might get ruined with the storm. But hell, as long as I keep my house on the ground I don't care. I hope it doesn't suck too much guys. Sorry again.

And Katrina (the storm's name) +Su gives her the finger+

DISCLAIMER: ... the one you guys know by heart...


(TAP... TAP... TAP)

He stopped. My eyes flew open. A cold current down my spine.

No. Please. Not. Her.

"I wish to see you two in my office once you are decent..."

Hellsing.

I'm looking at him. Vampire, where is your grin? He is looking too serious for my sanity.

Silence. I could only hear her steps fading away.

My. Fucking. God. What the hell did I just get myself into... again.

Silence.

"Damn it..." my boots hit the floor and my eyes screened the floor for my undergarments "... I'm so getting fired—"

Silence. He was still standing there.

I looked at him with eyes full of worry.

"How fucked are we?"

He got into his thoughtful pose.

"Let's say we wish we would have gotten that far…"

"Shit…" I bit my lip almost drawing blood. I tried to fix my hair with my fingers. "Lets go and get this over with, vamp…"

I saw him frown a bit, looking away, his hand stopping me as I walked toward the door.

"What is it..?" I whispered.

He was silent still looking away… listening?

I didn't move, not by choice but because he was not letting me go. He did after a few seconds of silence.

"You do know it's your goddamn fault if I get fired, right?" oh the sarcasm in me was almost palpable.

"I didn't hear you complain—"

"—Now I need a fucking tampon and I have none with me—"

"I had it all, you don't need any."

"—I can't fucking believe she saw us!—why didn't you see her! You're getting senile or something?.."

"I was quite distracted... although I remember stating that everything would be alright if only you would've kept quiet—"

"Well, pardon me your Highness; I am only human and I breathe! Go find yourself a vampire to screw so you don't have those problems…"

"Oh no... but you're too much fun..."

I scoffed and stomped out of the room, toward Hellsing's office.

As I continued walking I heard him once in a while in the shadows, his chuckles making my blood run hot in anger.

I hate him now more than ever.

"Of course, keep laughing you idiot... if I get fired you are paying for my rent and food, do you hear me?"

"I will pass on that milady… feeding humans is such an arduous task…"

"I'm serious, corpse! And you will find me an apartment... a huge one, with my own balcony."

"—but then again, human tastes in housing tend to be somewhat banal—"

"Ok, let me think what else I need and I'll gladly add it to the list, asshole..."

"Such a pretty mouth."

"Fuck you, how's that."

"Hmm, again?"

"Shut up."

Shit, maybe I did get loud and she heard us. I remembered him being so silent. Not even breathing.

"What the hell was I thinking when I decided to get myself involved with a dead man..." I mumbled.

"Well… you were curious—"

"It is in your best interest to shut it."

"—after all, we are masters of seduction—"

I scoffed.

"Well, it worked with you, hm?"

"Oh no Sir, you didn't seduce me into anything it was all my choice..."

"Yes... just as it was also your choice back there to get—"

"Stop. Yes, Walter?" I came face to face with the older man. He seemed a little amused with the conversation.

I was blushing out of my mind.

"Sir Hellsing has an emergency meeting with the Information Retrieval unit. She will see both of you tomorrow first thing in the morning—"

Alucard clicked his tongue. I glared at him. Walter gave him a curious look.

"Something wrong, Lord Alucard?"

"Morning?" the vampire had this face only kids get when their mom says they have to get up early the next day to go to school.

"Walter we will be there." I answered for both of us.

"Can we reschedule?" yes, he is in 5 year old mode now.

I turned to him.

"You seriously have a nerve when it's all your fault—"

"I am positive you just said—"

"If you'll excuse me..." Walter said and turned to leave with a smile on his face.

"Thanks Walter." I returning the smile but glared at the vampire again. "... you don't even thank him—what kind of a friend are you—"

"Milady, I haven't seen you this angered before... and I have to say—"

I pulled him by his cravat to my height. "Stay away from me." and then I pushed him.

I exited the hall/level/mansion after his chuckles.


(dialing…)

No, I'm not really mad at him. I'm just scared. Damn, what were we thinking! Well, it's not the first time things like this happen outside of my room, but I mean... it's her house. Jeez, she will shoot me I know it.

And it's him. HIM. Of all people, her precious pet vampire who I know by now she not only sees as a mere killing machine. I'm getting fired and going to Hell in one day. I suck.

(tone... tone... tone)

Again I'm getting the damn recording telling me this phone number doesn't exist either. I don't think I have any other numbers I can call.

(click)

What am I supposed to do now?

My skin got bumpy all of a sudden. He's here. I didn't turn to him. I kept looking at page after page of my slim address book, feeling his eyes on my back.

"She hasn't fired you yet." he said finally. No, he was not in 5 year old mode anymore it seemed.

"Like she will let this slide, oh please..." Silence. "I would fire my ass in one second if I was her."

Silence. I bit my nails nervously as I kept reading the damn book for the second time. No time for self pity or any of that crap.

"No luck I see..." he commented casually.

"No... every number I call has been changed or disconnected or something... it's been a while anyways..." Silence. "... so much for being self-sufficient; friends are like plants, some people say… and I never liked gardening I guess…" I mumbled.

Silence.

Damn him. I will miss him.

"I can't sleep now... I'll stay up until she wants to see us..." I almost mumbled but I knew I didn't need to articulate for him to know what was in my head.

Silence.

"Wanna play Soul Calib—." I stopped as I felt him on the bed, sitting behind me, his lips on my shoulder. I rested back against him, my back hitting his side. I felt his hair tickling my ear as his temple landed on my head.

Silence. I feel like I want to cry. Why does he have to act like this now.

"I'll have to keep on calling people… see what happens…" Silence. "Did you... see how she reacted?" I asked, wanting to know my future in the Organization. "she sounded... pretty much like her normal self."

"Years have taught her much... it becomes harder for me to tell..." I turned to face him. "... especially when she knows I am trying to take a peek...

Silence.

"What time is it?"

"It is far from dawn yet..."

"What will she do to you?" I whispered.

"She will punish me, of course..."

"I hope it's not too painful..."

"Me too..." he said almost playfully.

Silence.

"... but surprisingly her anger was directed towards me..." he continued answering my question. "... but I can't quite say I understand how she reacted towards you..."

"So that's the part you can't tell..."

"Yes..."

I frowned. Why would she react differently toward me? His lips curled a bit upward.

"... Or maybe I don't need to..." yes, he had traces of a smirk. I looked at him still with a frown on my face.

"So you do know, but you just won't tell me, right?"

He tilted his head a bit, his eyes sparkling.

I kept looking into his crimson eyes. I felt almost like pouting.

Silence. I breathed in slowly, my head tilted to one side.

"Have you been with her all her life?" my voice was surprisingly small. "... did you see her grow up?"

Silence.

"I have been with her in the most important years of her life as I remember her saying once..." Silence. "... I can't say I have seen her bloom to what she is today because she keeps doing so... every day... it never stops..."

Silence.

"Once you said you taught her... about feelings and emotions... it sounds like you two are very close... "

Silence.

"She is an exceptional woman..." I continued to study him. "... one of the few humans I truly respect."

Silence. I smiled sadly.

"You... get this spark in your eyes when you talk about her... this is not the first time I see it..."

Silence. He didn't look away.

A smile instead of a grin on him. A knowing smile. It intrigued me.

This almost discouraged me from doing what I was going to do. But I couldn't back out of this. Tomorrow I could be in another place. I stood up and walked to my night table. My hand went to the switch of the little lamp and turned it off. The room went dark, my eyes not wanting to adjust. Darkness was good now. I knew he could still see me, but the idea was for me not to see him.

Blindly I walked to the bed and sat, far away from him.

"I want you to know something." I finally whispered.

"Yes..."

"If she does fire me... I will miss you... too much for my own good..."

Silence.

"I don't care what I said before... I will—a lot—and..." silence. "... I still don't understand why—you know this already, don't you?"

"I do."

I jumped feeling his voice way closer than before.

"... but it is nice to hear it, milady..."

"God—you love sneaking up on me!"

"It makes me feel all fuzzy inside to see you jump..." I could hear his grin.

I clicked my tongue. Silence.

"Maybe..." I began, gulping first. "... if you weren't what you are, it would be simpler..." silence. "... but then again..."

"... it all makes up who I am..." he finished for me.

"I still can't block you out of my head, man—."

"I didn't look."

Silence.

"I am familiar with the feeling..." he said softly. I felt his fingers pinch my chin in the dark. "... surprisingly with more than one..."

And of course I couldn't suppress the thump in my stomach, wanting to know if he meant me. Or her. Or anyone else. But again my pride wouldn't let me ask.

"Where are you..." I whispered my hands in front of me, looking for him. His hands came to mine revealing his position. I sat near him, nuzzled on his neck like that time, again his arm holding me in a firm embrace.

More of that deep silence announced the end of the conversation. Nothing else was said. His fingers caressed my hair and I smiled sadly again. We stayed there in silence for some time. My body eventually rested on his lap, his fingers remained in my hair.

I dozed after a while, his caresses on my hair relaxing me. I felt a squeeze on my shoulder after what I felt was a second of sleep. It was time to go see her. I stood up and walked to the bathroom to get ready but as I came out of the bathroom he was gone. I went to get some clothes on, since he had advised not to wear my uniform. He said something about that it would send a good message of respect and taking consequences for my actions, or something like that. Well, he knows her more than anyone, so I agreed to that.

I slipped on my adored pair of jeans, ripped at the knees, a white beater and a green fleece jacket. Mh, I thought Seras still had it. She borrowed it thinking it looked very 70's. Oh well, I get that a lot anyways. I wasn't wearing my uniform but there was no way in hell I was going to wear something to kiss ass. What was done, was done. There was nothing I could do. I combed my wet hair leaving it loose and sighed as I stepped out of my room.

As I walked to the main house I got weird looks from soldiers who surprisingly were walking around at that time. They knew something was wrong since I wasn't wearing my uniform. I just smiled and continued walking. Not like they need to know or anything. Shit, I'm going to miss him a lot. The thought again just appeared in my head.

My flip flops were silent against the elegant floor, making me remember the contrast with my heavy boots. I raised my eyes and found the vampire resting against the wall in front of the huge oak door of her office. I smiled a little sad smile at him.

"How about... one more date..?" he said beside me. I bit my lip, sensing a goodbye already.

"Mh hm..." I was scared to talk and find my voice breaking. "... are you going to knock or what..." I tried to sound snappy. Tried.

"One more minute milady..."

I turned to him with a frown.

"You look lovely."

I clicked my tongue and tried not to smile. He also would tease me about me dressing in the wrong time period. Like he should talk.

I knocked and gulped.

"Come in." I heard the woman's voice and sighed.

"See you inside..." he sing-songed and disappeared.

I walked in and stood in front of her desk, saluting. She looked at me, looked down, and looked back eying my ensemble. Then she went back to her paperwork.

Hm. Our jackets kind of match; not on style of course, but in color.

"At ease."

And so I did.

Silence.

"Alucard, show yourself..." and he came through the wall. The vampire came walking all dandy and relaxed and before turning to face Hellsing where he had decided to stop, had the nerve to wink at me over his glasses, of course making very sure she would see him. I went red in anger.

Silence. She is glaring at us. I'm shaking.

"I won't even ask for an explanation. I cannot imagine what went through the heads of the two of you when you decided to disrespect my home in this manner."

"I don't think you want to My Master."

She stood up and walked toward him hurriedly but once she stood in front of him, they only looked at each other. I saw him blink mockingly, her lips getting tighter with anger.

My guess, telepathy.

"You have done enough these past weeks, vampire—I am getting tired of your audacities!" she looked at me now, my spine getting as straight as it could. She walked to a middle point between the two of us and spoke. "... both of you know this is a Protestant home and I WILL NOT tolerate this sinful behavior!" she turned those ice blue eyes to me " I have been very discerning about this matter—not by choice but because of a foolish incident in the sublevels and now I see my error." she went back to him. "I do not care what you do in the privacy of your chambers—but this is MY HOUSE! And it will be treated with respect—WHAT IS SO AMUSING ALUCARD!"

"Master?" I can't fucking believe he's grinning like this!

Silence.

"Officer?" her icy voice uttered the title. I almost jumped.

"Sir!"

She walked in front of me. I'm so fired. I'm shaking, I'm shaking...

"As I said once before, there is no room in this sacred order for people who protect and join themselves with monsters; no room in this Organisation for such filth." she paused and came half a step closer, her voice lower but way more tense. "... and there is no room in this manor for women who disgrace their bodies in such a way as you have, going against God's word by acting like cheap dirty whores—."

"Integra—."

She cocked her gun and aimed at his head still looking at me. "Servant, you will address me as what I am to you and nothing else, understood?"

"It was not her—."

"UNDERSTOOD!"

Silence.

"Yes Master..."

"I only wish you have kept your legs crossed enough as to not wear out my units."

"Master—."

She turned slowly at him. "Is something not to your liking, Alucard?"

"It was not her fault."

"I did not see you fornicate with my book shelves, vampire!" she walked again toward him.

"I forced her to it."

"WHAT?" I yelled at him in my head.

"I am aware that you two are lovers, do not insult my intelligence!"

"THIS time I forced her."

"DO NOT lie to me SERVANT!"

"I am not lying."

"Her clinging to your neck made me think otherwise—" she straightened her posture as the end of this sentence, breathing in, abruptly trailing off.

"Master... how long did you stand there and watch?"

She slapped him across the face.

"Women here love to slap me—."

"Is this true Officer?"

"Ah—."

"She wasn't aware of it." he answered quickly.

"Pardon me?" her eyes were big and full of sarcasm.

"You know I can do this..."

Silence.

"Deamon..."

"That I am."

More of their staring contests. He looks surprisingly serious now; no traces of the smirk with which he started. Yes, I can swear they are saying things to each other by thoughts. Her brow furrows softly from one second to the other; almost imperceptibly. When his lips try to curl into a smirk, they suddenly come back to that serious expression.

It makes me so curious.

Things again stir in my stomach.

"Alucard what the fucking hell are you getting yourself into!" I said in between chaotic thoughts of mine.

"Too late… if you deny it will be worse."

"Oh god... she will kill you."

"I doubt it."

She walked toward me after having a staring match with him for another while.

"It is in your best interest to get away from him... not only your safety, but your job depends on it... I said it once, I say it again... I do not care what that little incident in the sub levels does to the image of myself or the Organisation in your eyes. But now you see what this beast is capable of. I will not consider this an official case of rape; this will be your punishment. You knew what you were against and you chose to ignore his nature..." Silence. "I wish I could transfer you to Information Retrieval to avoid any encounters between the two of you, but the Organisation will suffer. One more thing Officer and you're fired... as the least that can happen, of course... you're dismissed."

"Yes Sir..." I said and turned around and walked out of the office.

"Well done."

"When you're done here, let me know how it went, please."

"I'll try..."

That doubt made something I my stomach go 'thump'. I hope he'll be ok.


Yes, almost done. Nothing left to expand in the story, only stuff to clarify and explain. See ya guys after the storm I hope!
