Thanks for all the great reviews though :D I feel so loved XD
"Its... A little crooked, isn't it?"
"... Maybe he wont notice."
"The man noticed a tack hole without a tack in it from across the room."
Seras sighed heavily, shoulders slumping slightly. It had been a long day since Integral had left. After being chewed up from Walter, the entire sector of the Wild Geese showed up at her door. Strict word from Walter to clean up the damage out in the stables. So, here they were, in the cold cold rain, standing in who knew what, trying their best to fix the broken shed door. After fixing the gate, reseeding the torn up grass, reinstalling a new window, and putting up the broken shelves in the shed, this was the one thing keeping Seras from a hot bath, and it would not cooperate.
She squinted up at the crooked door and sighed, hunching a bit to rest her back, "You know, I know now why Miss Integral was so hesitant to let you guys do this. You cant! That's just it, you cant. What should have been a 5 minute deal turned into a 5 hour production."
The men, as irritated as her, said nothing, all looking to Pip. He jumped at the sudden interest, and looked around, blinking, "Oi! How's'it my fault allufa sudden?"
"Because, Pip, you are in charge of this team." Steamed Seras, standing straight now, "And when you are in charge, you take the blame. The same way I am going to get an earful the next time I see Walter, I was in charge of you."
"Then this is your fault!" He cast his finger at her accusingly, making the men behind him snicker, "I always knew you had a bad stream, you, snort, let this happen!" And they burst out laughing all together, making the young vampire blush red with anger.
"What do you mean my fault?"
"Well, you were in charge of me, meaning that you let me do what we did. So all of this is your fault, vampire girl." He tossed her the hammer that he held in his hands, and with a wave of his hands, him and the rest of the troop followed, cackling, leaving the poor Seras alone.
In the dim room of Integral sat another alone figure, the old butler smoothing down the covers of her large bed. Everything was cleaned, polished, and straightened up, but not like it needed it. Walter did it out of habit.
He sighed, leaning up, then looking to the lone picture in the entire room, the small one of her and her father together. He took a seat on the bed, careful not to rumple it again, and picked it up, smiling.
'She has changed so much...' He thought gingerly, looking at the smiling child sitting on her father's lap. Large glasses couldn't contain the large, round blue eyes that held a joy that only a child could have. He remembered that day. Her father had came back from a particularly long business trip, during of which he had called, promising to take her to the fair. Sadly, he had came home a few days late, the county fair had already gone.
Walter smiled, remembering the ruffled, damp, huffled man coming home at the dead of night, and with his help, created a little fair in the back of the property, just for Integral. The horses were bridled up, groomed and had their tails braided, all for rides. Popcorn, candy, even a hired clown, all for his darling daughter.
He set the picture back down and stood up after that, he was running late anyways. Had to prepare lunch, or he would be dealing with a lot of grumpy co workers... Walking to the end of the room he closed the drapes, the soft glow coming from behind the dark navy fabric barley filtering into the otherwise gloomy room. He frowned slightly, it was a far cry indeed from the bedroom she had when she was a little girl. This room used to belong to her father, the soft pink wall paper and elegantly decorated little girl's room long abandoned on the first floor.
'But... perhaps... It was for the best...' He thought to himself quietly. He really couldn't imagine her jumping at the sight of a spider, or coming to someone else in help to open a jar, like many others her age and gender. He smiled fondly though, it was a nice thought, to know that he had raised her well. Yes, perhaps it was for the better...
Walter was jerked out of his thoughts far too soon however, as the emergency phone behind him, in Integral's office, began to rang.
"Who's that?"
"I don't know... Oooh... Looks who she's with..."
"Isn't that that Hellsing girl?"
"Wow... I need to get in national security..."
"Hush! Here she comes!"
Integral felt her blood begin to boil at the sight of the two women hushing each other with barley concealed giggles as she came near. She didn't know why she had to be the subject of so much talk wherever she went... Oh, wait, yes she did.
"Hello Ladies!" Came the smooth voiced vampire behind her, along with the resulting giggles and croons, "My name is Alucard, and yours...?"
"Oh! Jessica! Jessica Adams."
"And I'm Mary Calmi!" Chirped the other one, bouncing forward eagerly.
The dining room was elegantly decorated and lighten, white and gold tiles, embroidered drapes hanging from the ceiling, and a handful of white clothed tables positioned around the big room. The fresh scent of water was about in the room, coming from the different fountains and ice sculptures, you would have thought it was a ball.
Integral quick took a seat at one of the big dining tables, crossing her legs self consciously, ignoring Alucard as much as she could, as he took on more and more to his femme fan club. She had never much liked to wear dresses, it was just something... weird about them. For one, it gave anyone who happened to trip a clear view. Another, it was downright cold. And have you ever tried to run in high heels?
Either way, Alucard had said it looked good on her, even though she didn't know if to take it mockingly or serious. A white satin dress that sparkled in the ball room light, slit at the bottom to show off a peek of her left leg, the sleeves cutting off at the shoulders. But a little leg was all she was willing to let go, covering up the rest of her arms and hands with a long sleeved white glove.
She leaned back in her seat, surveying the crowds. Business men. All uptight and probably gay by the looks of most of them, equally uptight women by their sides.
'All of them, worthless. I cannot believe I am protecting these people.' She sneered lightly, looking back to the Vamp-fan club a few tables away, Alucard sitting with his boots up on the table, 7 or 8 ladies and a few men now crowded around him. She blocked them out as much as she could, looking the other way in a hurry.
'You look mad Master... Come and join me, I shall show these plain dogs what real beauty is...'
She turned her head back at him with her signature glare. 'It looks like you are having fun without me, don't want to spoil it.'
She was answered with a small cackle inside her head, and she mentally cursed, turning away from him. Ass.
Maybe if you are reeeaaal lucky I can spew up another chapter this 4 day weekend, and try not to lie like last time XD
