Chapter Two

The tall, elder vampire known as Alucard phazed through the walls of his room. He procedeed to tear off his hat and glasses. Muttering strange things under his breath, he threw both the hat and glasses onto the floor, ignoring the fact that the glasses shattered upon impact.

Sitting down roughly on his poor chair, he slammed his now curled fist onto the table, breaking it neatly in two. Underneath him, the chair creaked dangerously and threatened to break underneath him.

His eyes were dark, despite their crimson glow; both arms were crossed over his chest as his feet rested upon one half of the table that had managed to remain upright. In other words, he was quite angry.

Ever since that meeting with his Master, Seras had been leaving every Monday, Wensday, Friday, and every other Saturday. This had been going on for an entire month now, and Alucard was still having absolutly no luck in determining what it was she was leaving to do. Taking her meeting behind his back, and the fact that she had resisted so strongly to his mental mind probe, he had decided that he would figure this out the old fashioned way.

Evidently that hadn't been going too well for him.

Every time he had tried to follow her, Integra had suddenly figured out something for him to do, something that kept him from following her. Besides that, whenever he had managed to finish whatever meaningless task he had been set to do, Integra just sent him to do something else!

A low growl emitted from his chest as he continued to ponder what it was she was doing behind his back.

" Could is possibly be that truly horrible that you have to hide it from me Police Girl?" He shook his head at several possibilities. There was no possible way that she could have a boyfriend for then she wouldn't be leaving on the exact same days… Or could she?

He was suddenly surprised with himself. Since when did he truly care what the Police Girl did with her own time? Would it actually matter to him if she was involved in a relationship. At the though of her being with someone else he felt his anger rising inside of him, along with a different feeling.

" What is this? Since when do I care about anyone?" The entire fact that he was angry about this made him even angrier. And this other feeling… what was it? Not knowing what it was made him even angrier, if that was possible. Deep down inside, whether or not he wanted to admit it, he knew what it was.

" Jealousy… So strange, I don't believe that I've ever felt this before… Saturday… Yes, today is Saturday, wait this is the other Saturday. Yes! I can finally follow her! Police Girl will not elude me tonight!"

Just as that thought popped into his mind, he heard his Master calling for him. It was a light call for him though, so he pushed it away and pretended not to hear it.

Listening carefully, he heard Seras' door open and then close. Chuckling softly to himself, he phased out and kept himself in the shadows as he began to follow Seras.

(Seras P.O.V)

Humming softly to herself, she exited Hellsing Manor. Instead of her usual attire of her Hellsing uniform, she wore fairly loose and frayed blue jeans. For her shirt, a simple black shirt, in which the sleeves reached just above the elbow and that also exposed her stomach up to about halfway up her ribs.

Amazingly, she had left her hair down but messy. She had never worn one before, but now she wore an old brown, tattered looking beanie with the letters A and M.

" I still can't believe that Sir Integra allowed me to do this! This is so amazing! And I don't mean to brag, even to myself, but I think that I've gotten much better since I started." She beamed at no one in particular and continued on her way down the street.

Although she had been allowed to leave, it was only on a few conditions.

The first being that she had to wear colored contacts. Seras had expected nothing less than this when she had asked permission. However, she had been allowed to choose the color that she wanted, and she had chosen blue. Although they were not quite as clear as her original eyes, they still covered her now natural crimson eyes.

The next condition had been that she had to practice covering her fangs. That had actually taken Seras much longer than she had thought to master that technique. But after a week or so, she had that down perfectly and now looked like any normal person.

Lastly, but still important, she had to go under a different name. For if anyone discovered her, there may have been some consequences, especially if they had known her before she had, er, died.

Without even thinking about it, she had eagerly agreed to these conditions. So now, strolling down the street as though she owned it, was Alison Moneray. Seras giggled at the funny name that Walter had helped her to choose.

Slung over her back was a small pack. Inside was her Hellsing uniform, a gun, and a cd. Integra had told her before she had left that she had to be sure to be prepared for anything that could happen. Besides that, she was also told that this would probably not continue for much longer.

While Integra didn't exactly mind Seras going out those few nights a week, the attacks from Freaks were becoming much more frequent, and before long they would most likely be attacking each night. Knowing that it would be hard, Seras decided that she would do this two more times; this time, and next Saturday.

Sighing audibly, she said " Pity I won't be able to do this much longer… I really was getting the hang of it, and I was doing incredibly well!"

While deep in thought, she didn't happen to notice her Master's presence within the shadows.

Finally she arrived.

Looking up at the glowing sign, she felt warmed and happy.

She pushed open the doors and was instantly greeted by several people.

" Alison! Been too long!"

" Wow! I was hoping that you'd come back soon!"

" Hey everyone! Alison's back! Everyone shut up!"

Blushing deeply at the recognition that she was receiving, she made her way through the bar-like building. Waving to various people, smiling at all, she made her way to the bar where she pulled forward a piece of paper and quickly wrote something down on it.

Still, throughout all of this, Seras did not recognize that her Master had managed to elude Integra and was now standing at the far end of the bar, bathed in darkness and unseen by all. The young woman sat down at a table to wait apparently.

In the back of the building, the elder vampire began to fidget, getting annoyed at having to wait to see what she was up to.

After what seemed like an eternity, a strange looking man walked up to the podium that Alucard hadn't noticed before. Picking up the microphone in the middle of the stage, the man smiled down at the very crowded bar.

" Welcome, one and all, once again, to our Mic Night!"

Seras cheered louder than anyone in the place as the pure happiness she felt radiated off of her.

(Alucard P.O.V)

" Welcome, one and all, once again, to out Mic Night!"

He was stunned. This was what Police Girl had been leaving all of this time for? For… for some Mic Night! He forced back the angry growl that tugged at him. A smile played across his lips as he decided to wait.

The least I can do is wait until she's had her chance to sing. Then I can torture her to no end about how horrible she is… This thought pleased Alucard immensely. He also noticed that the main part of his happiness was the fact that Seras had not been leaving to meet some idiotic man.

He probably would have been some weak mortal too… He did growl at this, eliciting himself several strange stares from the people nearest him. Realizing that he could be seen, he slid deeper into the darkness as he waited for him to call on her to go up there…

(Seras P.O.V)

The beaming vampire paused for a moment. Had she not just heard the oh so familiar growl? Using her ultra-sensitive ears, she listened carefully for any noise that betrayed her Master. Frowning slightly, but having not heard another noise or seen anything else, she turned back to the man at the podium.

" We have a terrific line-up tonight! John, Sam, and Jacob return tonight! Let's give them all a round of applause people!"

There was a polite wave of applause for the people mentioned. " And we have a special treat for everyone tonight. It seems as though our favorite young singer, Alison, has chosen to return!" At this announcement, most of the people in the bar broke out into a much wilder cheer that had Seras blushing and waving back at everyone with a large smile on her face.

" Well, let's get this ball rolling with Jacob up first!"

Seras settled back into her seat and went over her song in her head. This was her usual routine before she performed. No matter how many times she sang, she was always terrified that she would forget a word, sing a wrong note, or do something else stupid like that. Jacob finished singing, and he received a fairly good reaction, but Seras hardly noticed. She clapped along with the rest of them, but remained within her mind, thinking intently on her song.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the man at the podium was up there again. They had gone through several people, and Seras figured her turn was up now. Her insides twisted uncomfortably, but she did her best to push her nausea and butterflies out of her mind.

" Well, we've had some pretty good people singing up here tonight. However, it's time for our personal favorite, Alison Moneray! Tonight, she'll be singing a new Alanis Morissette song! Let's give her a hand people!"

'Alison' stood and handed her cd to the podium man and came up to the stage. Everyone went silent as the young vampire focused her eyes on nothing yet everything that was in the room. Yet another useful trick she had recently learned.

The music began, and soon she was moving her body fluidly to it. Just as she was supposed to sing, she parted her lips and opened her previously closed eyes.

" Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?

Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?

Do you have a big intellectual capacity

But know that it alone does not equate wisdom?"

Already people were cheering for her as she began to get into the music. However, she no longer knew that she was in a room with people. As far as she knew, she was standing in her bedroom practicing as she tended to do when she was sure that she was alone.

Seras Victoria was no longer Seras Victoria. She was now Alanis Morissette, singing her heart out.

( Alucard's P.O.V)

Whether or not he wanted to admit it, Seras was good. In face, she was fantastic. Her tones, and beats and pitches were right on, and she never seemed to falter.

" Do you see everything as an illusion

But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine?

Politically aware? And don't believe in capital punishment?"

Once Alucard was over the initial shock of seeing the Police Girl singing her heart out, he began to listen to the words. What was this about capital punishment? And being both masculine and feminine? Was there a point or a reason that she sang this?

Using a light touch, for he didn't want to interrupt her yet nor did he want her to know that he had followed her, he gently brushed at her mind. Of course he heard the words that she was just about to sing, but underlying that was something else…

" These are 21 things that I want in a lover…

Not necessarily needs, but qualities that I prefer…"

Lover? What was she thinking by singing this? Was she trying to find herself a lover? Without exactly knowing it, he began to growl low under his breath and while it was fairly quiet, he gained a few glances in his direction by nearby customers. Realizing what he was doing, he sat himself down at a nearby table and continued to glare out from over his glasses at her.

And what else was she thinking? What was this now?

" Do you derive joy from diving in

And seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom?

Are you funny? A la self-deprecating?

Like adventure? And have many formed opinions?"

Mentally he began to take notes for some reason on the lyrics. He was sure why, this was simply a song, was it not? Yet he still could not refrain from this.

As he delved slighter deeper in her mind, still being careful so as not to be noticed by her, he heard her other thoughts, I hope that Master hears this…

Why should Seras want him to hear this?

" These are 21 things that I want in a lover…

Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter…

These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover…"

( Seras' P.O.V)

I hope that Master hears this… She wasn't quite sure why she thought this, for her Master was simply that, her Master. He probably couldn't care less if she could sing or juggle flaming poodles while blind-folded and standing over a pool of sharks.

Still singing, she began to smile as she made the most out of this, for she would only be able to perform one more time. Unless she was able to leave the manor at another time, she would be completely pre-occupied with sleeping and destroying Freaks.

Therefore, she had to make the best of the time she had left to do this.

" I'm in no hurry I could wait forever.

I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo.

There are no worries and certainly no pressure,

In the meantime I'll live like there's no tomorrow…"

Still, I wish that he would listen to me…

( Alucard's P.O.V)

What the hell's that supposed to mean? Why would the idiot Police Girl think that I would not care? He grinned at that. She did have a point. He truly would not care if she could do that thing with the poodles, although he wondered at why she had suddenly thought that of all things.

" Are you uninhibited in bed? More than three times a week?

Up for being experimental? Are you athletic?

Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?

Are you not addicted?"

His eyes widened at this point. Where did Police Girl get the nerve talking about being uninhibited in bed? He continually had to remind himself that this was only a song. Still…

The No Life King was unable to fathom why she chose this song of any to sing and why it mentioned these things…

" Are you curious and communicative?"

( Seras' P.O.V)

Slowly the music died down and slowly, Seras returned to herself just in time to hear everyone in the bar stand and clap wildly for her. She had practiced this song for quite a while and had loved it the moment she had first heard it.

" Thank you! Thank you everyone!" She was breathing slightly heavily yet the young vampire felt exhilarated. Seras truly enjoyed doing this, and was definitely sad at the thought that this would soon be ending.

However, with this thought, she had an idea. What if-?

" Yes… That would be perfect! The perfect thing to do for my last time up there!" Smiling confidently, she got down off of the stage and walked back to her table as the manage came up and began to introduce someone else.

However, it was getting late and she was tired. She couldn't afford to stay out much later, she was quite ready for bed. Having finished singing, she brought back up her protective shield that she had also been working on in her mind.

" Just try it Master… Oh this will be perfect!"

A/N: Amazing. Two updates in one day, I'm speechless… Well, maybe not, but you get the picture. By the by, I do not own the song, " 21 Things I Want in a Lover", that would be Alanis Morissette's song and I don't fancy stealing from her. I wanted to do this the moment I heard this song however, and I do have quite a few things planned. However, ideas are always welcome, they make the story interesting. I hope that the switching between the two P.O.Vs didn't bother anyone. Much Love!
