Well since I have a little bit of time, I thought I would er…write a bit.

Mystery child

Two days worth of erected barriers and protection spells had Aria drained completely. She flopped down upon the roof and slowly inhaled, feeling the refreshing breeze waft over her, filling her senses. It was only a couple hours before Integra's return and Relena had everyone in perfect order, and also her own people. They were set that night to watch the mansion as the festivities occurred to protect Integra and her Royal Majesty, the Queen of England. Relena made sure that Aria's people were positioned around the mansion, and within the room itself. She had placed Aria and some of her people into the ballroom itself, just in case anything arose. She felt Sol's presence behind her.

"You know you really should not be up, the sun is beginning to rise."

"It is always interesting to see you regenerate, actually, it amazes me." Sol sat down beside her.

"Even if it is worth feeling yourself burn to ciders?" Aria turned to him, as the darkening sky began to turn lighter, the sun slowly gracing England with her presence.

"Even so." Sol turned to the lightening sky, his stature visibly relaxed and ready.

Aria, although drained, summoned a protection spell around Sol, feeling completely tired from the exercise. The sun began its slow descent into the air, touching the sky with softening pinks, deep red hues, shimmering oranges against the backdrop of a lightening blue sky. Aria slowly closed her eyes to await her strength. As the sun ascended into the sky, it slowly clamored over rooftops, climbed over tall buildings and began the process of slowly crawling up Aria's body. As it climbed, Aria's body began glowing of its own accord emitting a light brighter than the sun's rays. Sol pulled on his sunglasses knowing that her barrier around him would protect him from her light and the sun. Aria slowly lifted from off the rooftop, her body lifelessly floating in the free air as the sun ensnared Aria within its grasp and she became brighter, almost like a falling star. Sol watched in awe and astonishment as the sun slowly let her down onto the roof again, and the light faded within Aria, bringing the regeneration to a completion. Soon afterwards, Aria opened her eyes slowly and looked over at Sol.

"Well, was it worth it?"

Sol smiled warmly. "It was indeed." He phased through the rooms until he reached his coffin, phasing through it and quickly falling asleep.

Integra was slightly nervous as she saw all the equipment that was left in the small house being shipped off to her mansion and returned to their proper place. She shrugged on her coat as she saw Alucard's and Seras' caskets being carefully hefted out of the door. Walter came in.

"Sir Integra, the car has arrived."

Integra nodded, smoking a cigar for comfort. Walter slightly smiled as he watched her walk out of the door. He closed it and followed Integra soberly until she was safely in the vehicle and they were driving away did Walter let out a small sigh. Integra put out her cigar. Adjusting his monocle, Walter watched the scenery as they drove to the mansion.

Seras groaned inside her casket as they went over another bump. She had been hoping to sleep after a long night, but it seemed that she would not get the chance. Murmuring obscenities under her breath, the young fledging tried to get comfortable and get to sleep.

Faster than they thought they arrived at the mansion, and Relena stood outside waiting for them, her hair in a tight bun and wearing a midnight blue dress that covered her feet. Integra looked behind her and the fair looking servant behind her. Pale long blonde hair tied behind him, a soft face and entirely dressed in white. Integra marveled at the perfect features of his face and his beauty. She knew that he could not be even remotely human. Walter got out of the car but the servant behind Relena beat him to it, already helping Integra out of the car. Relena's voice broke through Integra's marvel of the man before her.

"Welcome Integra."

Integra snapped to Relena's warm face and she nodded stiffly.

"Well, shall we get down to business then?" Relena's warm face hardened slightly and returned to a business – like state. Integra was impressed; she was even more impressed as they entered her mansion. The Victorian style house had not been touched, the builders had kept to its original state but it had been refurnished and redone very well. She marveled at how good the house had been kept ever since they had been evicted out of their home. Reaching her office, Relena opened the door and gestured both Integra and Walter in. Seating herself in her normal position, Integra turned to Relena.

"Report. I want to know how in the world you got this place up in running in less than 8 years."

Relena nodded, handing Integra a folder.

"In the five years you have been out of prison, I resumed your activities after making my true heritage known to Her Majesty. Seeing that she had me, she quickly reinstated your position but me as a filler until she the other Knights of the Round Table found that you were not responsible for the attack upon the tower. That man has been dealt with accordingly and has been dead for some time now. I have acquired the services of the Silencer, and the rest of his manned army."

"Army?" Integra questioned, giving Relena a sharp look.

Relena sighed, "Yes. Although I did not know what I was getting into, they have helped me far better than you know."

"I see." Integra realized then she was in debt to the Silencer and his army.

"Where is he, I would like to meet him."

Relena nodded and called out mentally, 'Aria, Integra would like to meet you…'

Aria smiled, from the roof. 'I'll be right down.' She quickly tied her hair up into a high ponytail and hardened her face, while she phased through the different rooms of the mansion until she arrived into Integra's office, appearing right beside Integra. Aria felt rather than saw Integra's subtle movements. She knew that Integra had been scared of her abrupt arrival.

"You called Lady Relena?" Her voice had hardened into a man's once again.

"Yes. This is Sir Integra Hellsing."

Blue looked into black.

Integra was surprised not to see red. Red marked vampire, but this person had black eyes.

'What are you…' Integra mused, 'What secrets do you hold within…'

Turning away from those pools of blue, the silencer nodded.

"She is as strong as you have acclaimed her to be Lady Relena, she truly is the epitome of all the Hellsings before her. Cold, calculating, wise, brave, intrepid…" the silencer turned to face Integra full in the face, "…and proud…"

Integra eyes widened slightly, it had felt like this person had looked though her very core, her soul and laid it bare before them. No one had ever given Integra that feeling, and it was some thing she did not want to experience again. Turning away from the silencer, she nodded at Relena.

"When is the ball tonight?"

"It begins at twenty hundred hours, which happens to be in two hours time."

Integra glanced at the clock, seeing that Relena was correct.

"What am I wearing?" Integra hoped it was not a dress.

"You are wearing you're green jacket and a long green skirt."

Integra stiffened. "I refuse to wear a skirt."

Relena smiled. "I knew you would say that so I got a royal order from Her Majesty. Integra, you are wearing that skirt." Relena produced the order and Integra scowled.

"Crafty indeed. What else?"

Relena continued. "Your white cloak with the Hellsing symbol engraved in gold stitches at the back."

"Gold stitching?" Walter asked, his monocle gleaming.

"Gold stitching, Walter. Don't ask me where the Queen found it."

Integra cursed inwardly and lit a cigar.

By the time seven rolled around, Relena had everyone set within every single inch of the building. The Silencer's army was everywhere within the building, and each of them on guard and on the alert. The ballroom was set, the other parts of the Silencer's army positioned at the waiters and waitresses.

Integra marveled at the speed and authority Relena had in tactics. She had placed the Silencer's men in the most obscure, and yet perfect positions that would easily help them in battle.

"She could plan out a large scale army attack within seconds…" She mused to herself.

'I would agree as well.' A voice whispered into her mind, Integra realized that Alucard was around. 'She makes another good Hellsing to feed upon, considering that she is a virgin as well…'

Alucard, you will not lay a finger upon my cousin. Do you hear?

'Oh, is someone getting a little defensive now…'

Alucard…Stay away or I swear to God, I will have your head.

'Mighty strong words tonight Master' Alucard replied mockingly, 'But can you go through with them?'

Do you wish to feel your head blown to bits again and again Alucard?

'No. Then again…it would be interesting—'

I suggest you stay out of my mind then.

Alucard's presence disappeared as Integra replaced her barriers. Integra sighed. She donned on her clothes and waited for the night's festivities to begin.

Soon enough, they did.

Guests where everywhere, mingling within the large a spacious ballroom. The Queen sat at the other end of the room, Relena and the Queen's lady bodyguards around her, posing as her ladies in waiting. Relena, who sat with the Queen; watched every person out under the pretense of being a good host.

"Relena." The Queen turned to her.

"Yes your Majesty?" Relena bowed at the head, waiting for her command.

"Relax dear child. I think you and Integra will be able to handle anything tonight especially since you have 'them' in the room."

Relena cocked a delicate eyebrow. "Them, your Majesty?"

The Queen pointed at the servers. A small smile swiftly played across her face.

A voice murmured into her head, 'I told you they would be a distraction…'

Relena laughed inwardly. 'Yes, but they are the perfect distraction Aria you must admit…'

Aria sighed from where she resided within the shadows. 'They are heavenly beings dear child, they do not like to be put on display. Better yet, they wish to remain in silence not have men and women drooling all over them.'

Relena knew that Aria was right, her half angels ever liked to be on display even though she had gotten over their charm, no one in the ballroom was immune to it, not even her Majesty it seemed.

'Tell them this then. I'll repay them for what they have done tonight.'

'With what?' Aria wished to know.

'Their own singing room, which is located not far from here.'

Relena felt Aria smile. 'They will enjoy that, they had not had a chance to practice their magic in a long time…I will relay the message. Oh is it soundproof?'

'Completely Aria, they can do what ever they wish within that room.'

'Good.'

Relena looked to each of their faces as Aria relayed the message. Suddenly there was a slight shift in each of their faces and she noticed that they did not mind serving anymore. Relena could only smile.

Alucard had been roaming the house for quite some time, feeling all the new presences that had suddenly invaded the house. As he reached Integra's room, he came straight into a barrier. Alucard was surprised and tried to go into it again, and again he found he was blocked. Smiling at a challenge, he materialized in front of the door and spoke.

"Now releasing restrictions for level D, will not end until barrier is broken."

With that, the symbols on Alucard's hand began to glow as he released his dark magic upon the door. Each time he tried, he found he could not break the barrier upon the door. He began to get angry, 'I am not becoming senile that fast.' He thought to himself. Then realizing something, he called out to the door.

"Release barrier symbol. Activate level C."

Slowly, a bright blood red symbol appeared. Alucard studied it closely. He took a step back when it fully materialized.

Old archaic Latin and his old tongue stared back at him in a circle, a circle he knew all too well… To make things even more confusing for the No Life King, his own dragon symbol appeared, along with a snake, a very familiar snake…

"A Basilisk… Target has been found." Alucard disappeared quickly, but he did not notice the darkness that converged from where he had been standing, slowly sinking into the ground.

'So you have seen it…Alucard…'

Alucard floated along the rooms until he reached the ballroom, searching out for his Master seeing her barriers were erect and stiff at the moment. Slowly easing himself into one of the shadows of the room, he saw why.

Integra Hellsing was being reinstated.

"I, Queen Victoria do reinstate Integra Wingates Hellsing into her former title and role as the head of the Royal Order of the Protestant Knights. May God bless you and your home, and may he bless your organization."

"Amen." Was Integra's response.

A larger "AMEN" followed as the entire ballroom went up into cheers. Integra turned and faced all of them coldly. She knew that they were doing this out of tradition, not of their own will. If it was the latter, she would have them silent as tombs…perhaps even dead. Afterwards, Integra did not mingle with the guests, but kept aloof of them watching everyone under cold and calculating eyes. Everyone stayed away under her glare.

Feeling Alucard's presence near she began to berate him.

'I thought I told you to stay out of my head…'

But do I ever listen to you master… Integra could feel his mocking smile.

'ALUCARD!' she yelled. She heard his chuckles reverberate through her mind.

Ha, ha, ha, master, you always can amuse me. But I have come to show you something… His voice took on a serious note.

'What is it?' She replied, catching on to the seriousness.

I found a barrier around your room with an insignia I have never seen before.

'Show me.'

Integra saw the seal take shape before her eyes. Latin and Alucard's native language encircling a roaring dragon and a basilisk that bared it's fangs along with the dragon.

'It that not your symbol Alucard?'

Yes…but that basilisk is not in the picture…

'So,' Integra replied, catching on, 'It seems you are not the only Nosferatu within this building…'

What do you mean? I have felt no other presences except mine and Police – girl's…

Integra smirked. "So, you can hide that well…"

'Relena has The Silencer on her side…he was the one that mostly likely put up the barriers in the first place, interesting that they did not break under your…guidance shall we put it?'

Alucard growled darkly, seeing what his Master was getting at. He quickly left her mind, searching for the Silencer around the mansion.

"Well, he certainly does not waste time." A whispered voice spoke near her right ear. Integra did not turn around, knowing it was the silencer who spoke.

"No, he does not. Tell me, was that insignia your own? Did you really put up that barrier?"

"With my own two hands Sir Integra. And yes, that is my personal symbol."

"Then why aren't your eyes red then?" Integra puzzled over this realizing that was the only piece that did not fit. The Silencer and Alucard could raise barriers, destroy them, have control over the darkness and the shadows, but yet the Silencer's eyes did not denote vampirism.

She felt the Silencer's laughter. "I am a riddle to you aren't I Sir Integra? Well I suppose I could help you out a bit by giving you this…

I am an abomination, made from the unholy union of two that should have never been. But yet, I live. I live in this world with the races of two different people, two different races within my veins. One of light, the other of darkness; one of life the other of death. That is my hint to you Sir Integra; see if you can figure out my little secret."

The Silencer disappeared after that, feeling a sense of anger coming from Sol and Markus. When Aria got there, she saw why. Alucard was facing off against Sol and Markus. By quickly viewing over their minds she saw that Alucard had been looking for her and by his dark look, he'd had no luck.

"Alucard."

Alucard mind snapped. Turning, he focused his attention on the person he had been looking for.

"Silencer." Alucard's eyes darkened in anger and suspicion. "Who are you?"

Silencer laughed. "Is that all you can ask Alucard? After all I am one of your kind…"

Alucard reply was to take out one of his Jackal and shoot five times. Each time the Silencer swiftly dodged the bullets as if they were nothing.

"Come now Alucard, is that all the most feared Nosferatu can offer?"

Alucard eyes took on a crazed look and his large insane grin made its way to his face. "I will look forward to this…now releasing restrictions for level B will not end until target is silenced." Alucard raised his hands to his sides and his gloves glowed bright red before his entire body and the area around became as black as he was. The Silencer stood watching all this, his ebony eyes turning darker at the challenge. Sol and Markus, who had both been enveloped by Alucard's shadow powers, raised a barrier around both of themselves, to protect them selves from injury and harm. Slowly, within the darkness, red eyes began to appear all around the Silencer watching him with gleaming eyes.

"Now, Silencer you will see the true might of a vampire." Alucard's familiars, the hellhounds; materialized from the darkness, their fangs gleaming and their mouths salivating at the thought of fresh meat. The Silencer pulled out his katana and waited for the attack. When the hellhounds were less than ten centimeters away from the silencer's body, he leaped into the air spinning and did a back flip at the same time landing behind the hellhounds and soundlessly sliced two in half before the rest turned and converged on him. Turning and rolling underneath, he sliced one and leapt away from another before it could take his hand off. Hearing the cocking of a gun he dodged Alucard's Jackal before being herded into his Cassul straight on.

"Game over." Alucard laughed as he fired. But his laugh stopped abruptly and turned to shock as the silencer deflected his shot using his sword. His explosive round went into his own hound as it exploded in a mess of black and red. The hounds that the silencer had taken down arose again, murder in their eyes. The silencer smiled as he danced around two more hounds and sliced their head off with his other sword, while he stabbed one in the eye. Next he did a no hands cartwheel over the next one before he landed on two and sliced their heads off. Doing a somersault forwards he landed away from the hellhounds and spinning, he raised a barrier around himself. Alucard thought he could penetrate it but found he could not.

"Well are you finally going to fight me? Or will you stay on the defense?"

The silencer knew that Alucard was right, he could not keep defending, he had to fight. Thinking quickly, he closed his eyes and his symbol appeared underneath him.

'Sol, Markus, strengthen that shield of yours and shield your eyes, I'm calling them.' Aria's voice made its way through their minds.

'Are you sure about that?' Sol asked worriedly.

'Positive.' The Silencer's eyes opened and the darkness began to converge.

Well that's it for this update.

Does anyone know what Alucard's native language is? I wasn't sure if it was romanain or not

Leave it in your review please and thank you.

R R please.
