Ich Will
Chapter Three
A/N: …Many, many thanks to all of my reviewers! Reviews will be posted only if someone asks a very important question…which, any question you ask is important.

This is pretty good... its good because even though you know what is going to happen it is still as interesting as when I first saw the anime
Looking forward to the next chapter
NLH: Actually, this is a mix between the old anime, the new OVA, the manga, and a little of my own imagination to go along with it! So, even though you know the story line, different things may occur at different points of time, or different things altogether!

aw...that was so cute. Now I wonder what is her second name? Up-date soon:)
NLH: Thank you! Her second name will be coming up later on in the chapters, but I guess I really didn't explain the background for this story. Basically, everything is reversed. There was no Dracula, Mina isn't Jonathan's wife to be; instead she's a forced marriage, Jonathan is the vampire hunter and Abraham is his best friend who falls in love with…Ehehe…I'll explain that later…(NO SPOILERS!), Enrico isn't an asshole towards Integra (SHE ISN'T A SOW!), the Queen doesn't like Alucard, the knights still don't like Integra; but for different reasons now, and the only guys who are the same is the Iscariot Organization. Everything will be revealed in time, my friends!

NLH: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! How many times do I have to say that your reviews make me so very happy! And for your question, I believe you'll find out in this chapter!
Now the rest of my reviewers who basically said I did a good job and told me to update soon were; anarchy101, Sinthetik Angel, Death's Integrity, and Binding with Briars my Joys and Desires. Thanks go out to everyone! Now on with the story!
For the disclaimer, please read chapter one.
The afternoon sun had left great red markings across the cobalt sky, skimming smears across the downy clouds as it slowly disappeared behind the scenic lands of Great Britain. Birds chirped softly in their nests, settled down with their family for the night. Alucard had no family now.
He had only awoken half an hour ago to find himself in what used to be his father's old bed with the sheets covering his head completely. He had checked his wound a minute after waking to find that it had been treated and had been comfortably wrapped in a tan cloth. His blood stained shirt had been disposed of though being replaced with one of his father's extra large night shirts. It was comforting to be in something that had once been his father's.
Now he found himself at peace, staring out the great vinyl window of his father's bedroom; daring not to venture outside for fear of Richard's men open firing on him. But who had dressed his wound? Surely not Integra.
Integra…
His lovely vampire slave…
He shook his head in hopes of banishing the impure thoughts that arose in his mind; a light blush tinted his cheeks. But he had found himself repeatedly asking himself, 'Does she see me only as her Master? Does she not return the ways how I love every move she makes, every word she speaks, every smile she creates? Am I the only one who has feelings for her? Or is it all just a delusion that she has cast upon me to ensnare my humanity and transcend me to become one with the Children of Darkness?'
The last part made more sense to him, "Is it even possible to fall in love with a person you have just met?" He uttered under his breath, sweeping one of his hands throughout his tangled, black hair.
"A better question is, "Is it possible to fall in love with a vampire you just met,"" someone had responded.
Alucard let a small gasp escape from his parted lips while he spun around to feel a sudden change in the temperature and shadows blending together in a corner of the room. "I-Integra…? Is th-that you?"
"Maybe so, maybe no," came a silky tone, "but what of the question you asked?"
His small blush had turned into a bright red, he masked his embarrassment with a small cough, "Integra…show yourself."
"As Lord Hellsing commands…"
She had stepped out of her shadowy domain with a dark brown, knee high boot appearing first; sliding slowly out of the hellish portal. Next was her body, dressed as she was when he first had found her but with her black hair gone, replaced with transparent silver. Lastly, her left leg pulled out with no sign of the portal besides the natural shadows in that specific corner of the room.
Alucard was dumbfounded at first, but he had regained his posture quickly with a bow of his head, "So this hasn't been just some crazy nightmare…"
"Not in your world, no," she responded with a lazy drawl while seating herself upon his father's bed.
"What do you mean?" he asked, hesitantly sitting beside her.
She gave a charming smile, glimpses of her two fangs peeked out at him, "My whole undead life has been a nightmare. I believe a human like you could never understand."
"I think I could compare though…" he said softly.
"Oh?" She laughed lightly, "Humans think that they hold all the troubles in the world…"
"And what's wrong with that?" he snapped back.
"Nothing…nothing at all," she grinned.
It was silent between them until Integra had suddenly moved to lie down on her back; Alucard was startled to see her laughing crazily.
"…Integra…?"
She wiped at her eyes, light traces of blood marking her eye's rims, "My, such a wonderful first conversation we just had! Come Master! Explain to me your dilemma of love! Maybe that shall end our unease!"
His embarrassment returned and he coughed again, "It's nothing, really."
"No! I must hear of this person that has caught your eye!" a knowing look crossed her features.
There was no getting around Integra, she knew about his strange love for her, "Integra…have you cast a spell upon me?"
Her smile was still the same when she answered, "Yes, yes I have!" he flinched, "It is called the spell of love! Perhaps lust if you may! It is a common human defect in many youngsters such as you."
"D-defect?" he became flustered, "Did you mean to cast this spell called love or lust on me?"
Her smile slowly faded, "Not intentionally, no."
"Oh…" her riddles had caused for him to have a minor head ache. He reached up to touch his temples and rub them in a soothing pace. "Integra…"
"Yes, Master?"
"Do you…do you love me?" He had asked the question that had plagued him so, and by her face full of surprise, he regretted it deeply.
"To be devoted to…to be fond of…to adore…to feel affection for…" she stated few of love's many definitions, "I should tell you now, I feel no emotion besides hate, lust, and sadness."
His eye lids grew heavy and all he wanted to do was shut them tightly, to block out Integra's lovely pale face.
"Dear Lord Hellsing, the truth is there is no sense of living you life and not falling deeply in love. You would not have really lived a life at all. But you have to try, because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived," she gave a wonderful sigh and Alucard had reopened his eyes, "Master, I have lived my life. But it would do you great good if you were to love another because all I can give back to you is pain and suffering."
"I-I don't care…" he held back tears with great effort caused by her denial, "How…how am I supposed to live without your love? How will I breathe, without your love? Ask me now, how will survive, if ever you should go?"
Integra's red eyes glazed fondly at him, a deep sadness hidden deep within the crimson color. "It is simple…find one who lives without a love."
He couldn't help but let a small tear escape from his now tightly clenched eyes.
Her new master's affection had deeply scared Integra. The words, 'No, not again. Not again,' repeating over and over in her head. Love was a new thing for her, despite the last time she was loved being over two hundred years ago. She had no clue how to react properly to Alucard's pining, so instead, she simply told him what she felt.
"Dear, sweet Alucard. It infuriates me deeply that you fill such a way towards someone so unworthy of your touch."
His eyes remained shut, but he was listening intently to her beautiful voice.
"You had found me in my darkest hour, when there was no hope for me. In such a cold and dark place such as my cell. Yet your trust in someone you have only heard of from others had awoken me. For sure, I had thought my mind was lost in such a gloomy place, yet your love had saved me. I owe you my life, Master Alucard, and I shall repay you in whatever manner that you wish."
The frosty temperature had just doubled around his face, a second after that; cold lips were pressed against his warm ones and he was enveloped in a loving kiss. His eyes had opened with his surprise, but once he had soothed and was ready to return it, Integra had broken it and drifted away from him.
Her smile was no longer there and her eyes were a deeper red, her tone was even more serious than her features, "I have warned you, Lord Alucard, to love another of your own kind. But you care not of the pains I will cause, or the suffering that may suffice and you are still eager to be devoted to me. So you shall court me at the appropriate age and then maybe one day, you shall join me as a No Life King. There is no turning back, and now I shall ask you…Will you one day regret courting me? Will you one day fear me for being what I am? Will you one day lose your love for me for another?"
What had started out as an innocent love was turning into a deep swear that could never be taken back. But it is what his heart desired, "I promise that none of those will ever come upon me, my love."
"Then your oath has been sealed, my Master, and all of those who break those three vows will suffer with the consequence of death of themselves and all of their loved ones. For I shall let nothing come between your love for me and my love for you…"
To Be Continued…
