Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma ½ or Hellsing


Alucard's eyes widened at the black-haired boy in front of him, and then narrowed. He reached into his coat and pulled out his gun aiming it at Ranma. Ranma spun around and kicked the gun, but what happened next surprised both of them. An arc of black flame followed his foot, setting Alucard's sleeve on fire. The barrel of the gun sagged as molten metal dripped on the floor.

Ranma stopped looking at the gun, and then the pool of metal on the floor.

"Ok, that's new."

Alucard looked at his gun in sorrow, it was a good gun. Then he perked up as he realized that he could get Walter to make him an even bigger one. Perhaps the new S&W 500 Magnum.

"Please explain the change before I'm forced to rip your heart out." Alucard requested politely, a slight grin on his face

Ranma sighed as he began the story. Going over his training trip, the curse, and deciding to tell about the more recent events. By the time he was done both Ceres and Alucard were staring at him in disbelief. Then Alucard began to grin at the thought of what fun Ranma could bring.

"If nothing else you're interesting, and that's good," turning to Ceres he continued, "I'll help with Integra, but you have to keep him under control. I'll not be held responsible if he goes and starts killing people." (AN: Alucard is nicer because of Integra's influence after she was changed into a vampire, don't worry he's still his old lovable psychotic self when he fights.)

Ceres closed her eyes and searched for the link she should have with Ranma. Finding it, she opened it, and then fell to her knees under the assault. Images, memories, and emotions swamped her. It took several minutes. The mind link was there, but there was no sense of control, just a feeling on connection. She turned to Ranma in awe. How had he survived this with his sanity intact?

Ranma felt a pang in his stomach, a hunger for something that he couldn't identify. Without a word Alucard pulled something out of his coat and tossed it to him. Looking down at the blood bag that he held, Ranma shrugged and then pierced it with his fangs.

Alucard raised an eyebrow and then commented, "At least we won't have problem with you feeding as we did with a certain female vampire I could name."

Ranma saw Ceres blushing out of the corner of his eye. Instead of the salty iron taste he had came to expect from his fights the blood tasted sweet. And gentle warmth filled his body. He quickly drained the bag and then looked at the other two. Alucard was polishing a black pistol while Ceres had turned on the TV and was watching Sailor Moon.

A few minutes later Alucard looked up from the gun.

"You'll need to go home and pickup any Items that you want to take with you, and then we'll head back here and I'll explain some things to you."

Ranma winced at the idea of going back to the Dojo, but nodded in acceptance. They waited until Ceres had finished watching her show, and then headed back to Nerima, it was a rather long walk, and it was pitch black by the time they arrived.

They walked through the gates and entered the courtyard. The trenches and craters form his fight with Ryoga, and the reason he took a flight on Akane-Air were still there. Ranma walked up to the door and pressed the doorbell. Within a few moments Kasumi has answered, a gentle smile on her face. It vanished for an instant as se saw the large hole in his shirt and the traces of blood on his clothing.

"Ranma-kun cone in please, your friends are welcome also."

They walked over to the family room they all sat and Kasumi returned a few minutes later with tea. All of them gently sipped the tea, and complimented her on it. Finally Ranma brought up the reason they were there.

"Kasumi when Akane hit me today it led to some complications. I was helped by Ceres here, but as a result I have to leave the Dojo for awhile. I need to get my stuff and leave messages for everyone."

Just as he finished speaking a noise was heard from the stairwell and his pops barged into the room.

"Boy, your not going anywhere, you have to marry Akane. Oh, how I raised such…"

His speech was interrupted when Ranma blurred and reappeared, his elbow buried in his pops stomach. Genma flew out the door and into the koi pond. A wet panda gently floated to the surface. Alucard just raised an eyebrow and a small smirk appeared on his face, while Ceres fought back giggles.

Kasumi then spoke; "I understand Ranma-Kun, and wish you the best. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go do something. She turned and quietly walked up the stairs. Ranma followed and began to pack his things.

He got rid of the weights in the bottom of his pack, and took several scrolls from his fathers pack; they were not ki techniques but were still things that he had not yet learned. The last thing he did was roll up his futon and pry up a board underneath it. Reaching into the hole, he pulled out a box. Opening it several Items were revealed. First were several neat stacks of yen, totaling about 150,000 ($1352.00 U.S.). Contrary to Nabiki's belief he didn't give all his money to her. Next was an old silk shawl, the only thing he had of the old lady that had helped him out of the neko-ken the first time. Finally all that was left was a small Ivory figure. It was a woman in a gown. He wasn't sure were he had picked it up, but something called out to him to keep it.

Finished packing, he sneaked back down the stairs to see that Alucard had tied his father to the rafters like a piñata, and was calmly twirling a piece of metal pipe. Ceres was standing beside him trying to look like she disapproved, but you could see her amusement in her eyes. Faster then Ranma could see Alucard swung the pipe, nailed Genma between the legs.

Genma couldn't make a sound, he just hung there gasping for air, Afet5 a few more swings Alucard set down the pipe and turned to Ranma.

"I just thought that we should prevent him from contaminating the gene pool. You turned out fine, but it's a risk that we can't afford to take." he said in a serious tone.

Just as they were about to leave the sound of footsteps came from the stairway, and they turn to it. Kasumi came back down the stairs, and Ranma's eyes widened as he saw the two suitcases.

"Kasumi, why?" was all he asked.

"I've watched how they treat you, seen you take it all, and am tired of being the mindless housewife."

His eyes widened further, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Facing Alucard he asked "Is it ok that she comes with us, she needs a new start?"

Alucard seemed to think it over and then thought about Walter, and how he needed someone to talk to. This Kasumi seemed to have a lot in common, and would do nicely.

"Yes, she can. Now let's get out of here before anyone else wakes up."

Ceres offered to take one of the bags for Kasumi, and she accepted. They walked to a nearby phone booth and called a cab. Soon they were on their way to the airport, and Ranma filled in some of what had happened to him, leaving out being changed for now. Her eyes widened as she listened to what had happened. Finally remembering his shirt he found a clean one in his back. Striping off his old one, he missed the blushes of both Ceres and Kasumi. However he did hear Alucard's snicker at the sight.

With his shirt on he turned to Alucard, "What?"

'Nothing." Alucard responded biting back his laughter.

The new short was a deep black with a red dragon covering the left side of his chest. There was little discussion as the drove to the airport, and after about an hour they arrived. Even at this time the Tokyo airport was extremely busy. They bypassed the building and headed directly to the tarmac. They soon arrived at a private plane. But this wasn't your ordinary Lear jet. It was painted the red of fresh blood, and had a bat emblem on the side. Ranma raised an eyebrow looking at Alucard.

"I just couldn't help myself." Was the only response he got.

There was a dark haired man waiting by the steps to the interior of the plane.

"I'm sorry but I need to ask you to place any weapons you may have in this box."

Ranma started to grin, and remembered when Mousse had attacked him the other day, and they weapons he had collected afterwards. He decided to play a prank on the man. So he started to pull out the weapons one by one out of his personal weapon space. First came a set of swords, then some poisoned daggers, next came some chains. He finally stopped when he had filled the entire box and looked at the man.

Just as he had hoped the man's expression was priceless, but he really enjoyed the look on Alucard's face. It had been a split second of shock before it had settled back into its mask.

Alucard meanwhile was thinking of a little bit of vengeance on Ranma for not telling him about this, so he used his power to rearrange the sitting area of the plane. Where before it had two chairs, and a sofa, both bolted down and equipped with seatbelts. Now there was only one chair and a large sofa.

He quickly went and sat in the only chair that was available, leaving the sofa for the other three. He almost started laughing as the slightly panicked look on Ranma's face at the girls sat on either side of him. The plane soon started to take off, and the beginning of a sunrise was seen before all the windows faded to black as Alucard rose and hit a switch on the wall.

An hour later they were on their way to England. Ranma was once again started to get a panicked look as both of the girls had fallen asleep and were leaning on him on either side. Alucard once again silently laughed to himself as he started his rest for the day. A few hours later all but the pilots slept on their way to London.
