A/N: Thanks to Brittlemoon and naruto-fanfic for reviewing!

Disclaimer: Wished upon a star, but it didn't come true.

Every part of my body felt like it was on fire. I let out a moan as the pain began to recede. Whatever it left began to tingle and slowly, my entire body was tingling. Within minutes I became aware of my surroundings. Then it hit me.

"No!" I gasped, struggling to stand.

My legs nearly gave way and I leaned against an alley wall. There, I stood panting, my mind trying to figure out what to do.

What am I going to do now? I have to get to the fight, but what'll I do?

Then it hit me, the power. The power the witch had given me. It wouldn't kill him, but it'd stall him. After the sun rose, then Alucard would be able to kill him.

But wouldn't Alucard be as venerable as Master?

No, remember what the witch said: "love is a double-edged sword."

-

"Master! I yelled as I skidded into the abandoned lot.

Everyone one in the lot looked shocked. It surprised me to see that many people there. Sir Integra, Walter, and Seras stood in back, while Alucard stood between them and Master. I was Alucard who seemed to most surprised to see me. He took a step towards me but stopped. Master just smiled.

"I was waiting for you." Though he smiled, I could hear fear in his voice.

"It's time to finish this." I growled. "Once and for all."

"I've told you before, your technology can't defeat me."

"This isn't technology."

"What?"

"Necto!"

Vines broke though the concrete and ensnared Master. He looked at me, then at the vines. Suddenly, he started laughing.

"Very good, very good. This is going to make this even more fun."

A burst of light erupted from Master and the vines disintegrated. Alucard tried to get in front of me, but I put my arm out, stopping him.

No.

India, I can't let him-

I can hold him off until dawn. Then you can finish him.

India-

Please, just trust me. Now, get back.

"Ara!"

"Your simple spells won't protect them I will-"

"Shut up. Let's fight."

He smirked.

"Very well."

He raised his arms; a fire erupted around us, sealing us off from the others. I flinched, unprepared. Master smirked.

" Nidor!"

The flames died down and I glared at him.

"Party pooper."

"Erumpo."

Flames and lava shot at him. It covered him; his screams of anguish echoed throughout the area. Then there was a snap, the flames and lava disappeared.

"Just kidding."

Something whizzed by my ear. It hit the shield and exploded. I glanced back. The shield held; I let out a sigh of relief.

"You'll pay for that.

Another thing came at me; it knocked me into the wall. I was winded and it took me a second to get back up.

"Ready to give up India?"

It was then that I noticed hints of pink on the horizon. I let a small smile cross my face.

"You want to surrender Master? Because you have no chance."

"Oh really?" He laughed. "You've gone mad India."

"NO more than before."

"The sky began to get lighter.

"A true Hellsing."

"Tutela absentis!"

In an instant Alucard was in front of me. I sighed and stepped back.

I love you.

India, this is dangerous get back.

You'll defeat him.

India?

Don't worry; you're stronger than him. I love you.

I could tell that he didn't understand, but nodded anyway. As he stepped forward, I stepped back towards the others. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw them move away from me. That wasn't good. Right now I don't need enemies in Hellsing.

By now the sun was starting to shine into the lot. Master gasped and moved into the shadows. Alucard flinched when I hit him, but otherwise didn't move. He smirked when he saw Master.

"Are you afraid of a little sunlight?"

"How… How are you not affected?" Master gasped, holding his chest.

"Let's finish this."

A flash of red enveloped the entire lot. It blinded me and suddenly, I felt a crippling pain in my chest. Gripping my chest, I began gasping for air. My legs gave out; I fell tot eh ground, unable to fight off the darkness.

-

"India."

I could hear the voice, I knew it, but I couldn't place it.

"India."

Alucard!

It was so close. My arms were heavy as I reached for it. His outline began to appear before me. Both of my arms felt like there were lead weights attached to them. The outline was getting closer, but I couldn't reach it.

"Alucard." It was barely a whisper.

A warm hand touched my face. That made me flinch. Without warning, everything came into focus. Alucard stood above me, eyes filled with concern. No one else was there. He let out a sigh of relief.

"What happened?" I muttered, struggling to sit up.

"You don't remember?"

He pulled me to rest against his chest. It was comforting to feel it rise and fall.

"Not really."

"What do you remember?"

"The flash of red light, and then a pain in my chest."

The spot still hurt in memory. He seemed to sense that and put his hand on it.

"Here?"

"Yes."

He wrapped his arms around me. I sighed, relaxing into his embrace.

"I love you."

"India?"

"I'm going to have to go soon."

"No."

"Alucard, I can't stay."

"Then I'll come with you."

His grip became tighter.

"You can't, you have to stay here."

"India…"

"Alucard, we can't."

"Why not? Don't we deserve this?"

I turned my head to look at him. There were tears in my eyes.

"Someone once told me that 'love is a double-edged sword.' It helped you defeat Master but…"

It was impossible to finish as tears began to flow. His eyes scoured my face before pulling me to his chest.

"I love you."

-

It felt like I was on trial as I sat in front of Sir Integra's desk. She was pacing behind the chair. Walter stood at the door, eyeing me suspiciously. The look he gave me was daring me to try something. Alucard leaned against the corner. His appearance was casual and carefree, but I knew that he was worried about what Sir Integra was about to say.

"Witchcraft cannot be tolerated here." She said, not pausing her stride.

"That is fine." I replied. "Because I'm not staying much longer."

"No, we cannot tolerate witchcraft here in England. The Protestant Church does not allow it."

"There are more dangerous things in this world than these magic tricks."

"You are a witch."

"Sadly no. But if I were, how my father would be turning in his grave about now. All Hellsing cares about is eradicating what they think is evil."

"Then why did you come back?"

"I didn't want to see England destroyed by Master."

"Alucard could have defeated him."

"No, Master defeated him. It was because of me that he was revived."

"He was only defeated because you were there."

"And it was because I was there that he defeated Master."

"I can't take the chance that someone else will find out about his weakness."

She raised a gun to my head. Alucard stepped forward, but I put my hand up.

"How many times are you prepared to fire that gun?"

"What?"

"It'll kill me, yes, but I'll come back, each and every time."

"Impossible. You can't-"

I can, and it will happen. You can't stop it."

She was left speechless. The whole room was silent. Something inside told me that it was time to leave. As my hand reached the doorknob Sir Integra spoke.

"You promised me that you'd tell us who you are."

"You know who I am." I turned to look at her.

"Only that you are Hellsing." She said. "You never told us about how you created Alucard and why you are still here."

"It's a long story."

"Since Master is gone we have time."

A/N: Sorry it wasn't out earlier. I didn't write anything during the week and Friday night I looked up and thought: Crap! Well, anyway, hopefully I'll be better about the next one. Until next time, sleep tight.
