Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma or Hellsing. If you say I do, Kasumi will be very cross with you.
Ranma woke to the feeling of the plane landing, and both Kasumi and Ceres woke at the same time. When they realized what they had done they apologized. Ranma told them not to worry. Kasumi and Ranma gathered their things together, and stood by the door as it was opened. A thin ray of fading sun hit both of them as the door was opened. Once again Ranma turned into his female form as it hit him.
Grumbling to herself, Ranma followed Kasumi down the stairs as Alucard followed. Ceres smeared a cream over all her exposed skin, and put on a pair of sunglasses. Since it was only and hour til the sun set. It would be enough. Ranma set her bags down at the foot of the steps and quickly adjusted her clothing for her new size. Looking back up into the plane she was surprised to see that there was a look of shock on Alucard's face.
As soon as the last of the sun had disappeared, Alucard came to them and spent a few seconds looking Ranma over.
"How did you do it?"
"How'd I do what?"
Alucard quickly realized that Ranma had no idea what he was talking about, and decided to try a different approach.
"You're too young to have immunity to the sun, so how did you stand it?"
"Oh, this happened earlier, sun doesn't affect me that way, I switch automatically to my female form when it hit me."
Alucard looked at Ranma again, this time using his expanded senses on her. He found the darkness in her that he expected, but also heard a heartbeat. It was extremely slow, but still there.
'Hm, a Dhampier, haven't seen one of those in centuries. Integra going to get angry when she sees her, and then her curiosity should kick in to calm her down. I hope Ranma doesn't mind labs.' Alucard thought to himself.
Once again a limo was waiting for them when they got to the entrance for the airport. The ride to the headquarters of Hellsing was uneventful until they got to the front gate. There they were stopped and Alucard rolled the window down. While Alucard checked in with one of the guards, Ranma picked up a conversation between the other two.
"Look at those girls; I wouldn't mind spending time with the brunette."
The first part of the statement was fine. Ranma had gotten used to the fact that guys would hit on her. But her blood boiled as the guard mentioned Kasumi. She glared at the guard in rage, and black fire blossomed on his pants. She jumped back in statement a bit, and it went out.
'Defiantly gonna have to practice with this stuff.' She thought to herself.
When Alucard raised an eyebrow at her she just shrugged. Served the guard right for saying something like that about Kasumi. The guard fell to the ground stunned, and looked towards the limo. Knowing the guard could see her; Ranma couldn't help but let out a little snarl flashing her fangs.
When she looked back at the others she saw a slight disapproving frown on Kasumi's face, but there was a hint of amusements on Creres'.
They continued through the gate with no problem and found a woman in a business suit waiting for them. She had long blond hair, and a pair of wire rimmed glasses covered her red eyes. She smiled at Alucard until Ranma and Kasumi got out of the car with their luggage.
"Please tell me you didn't do what I think you did."
"No, Integra, I didn't,"
Just as she relaxed he continued.
"Ceres did."
Integra turned her unbelieving gaze on Ceres. He eyes begging Ceres to tell her that Alucard was just joking.
"Please tell me what possessed you to turn that girl into a vampire." She paused for a second, "Never mind that I know he's lying because she's female."
Kasumi looked on not understanding what she was saying, but Integra caught the redhead wincing. She turned to the girl and raised a questioning eyebrow.
"If we could go inside I'll explain. But I'd like fewer eyes when I do it." Ranma stated.
They were lead inside and directly to Integra's office. It had changed little since she had taken Alucard's offer. The main difference being that it had heavy curtains over the windows during the day. She then waited for Ranma to start explaining.
"Well my ex-fiancée and me had a fight, and as usual it ending up with me being knocked into the air. Only this time I landed on the fountain in the park. I guess I got injured. Anyway I was in this body when Ceres found me. She bit me and changed me. Later Alucard arrived and explained to me what happened, and we got my things. Kasumi wanted to come with us; we left, got on the plane, and came here."
Integra stared at the girl, and then turned to Alucard.
"Why did you order her to lie when it would be obvious when she did?"
"I don't lie, my name is Ranma Satome, and I was born a boy."
"Okay, that would explain it if you had a sex change. Now…"
She was interrupted by Alucard's chuckle from behind her. She turned to see a smile on his face. It was not his usual sneer, but one that made it obvious that he had tried to hold it back.
"Integra if you would be so kind to bring Ranma a glass of hot water. I'm sure all will be explained."
She turned back to the red-head to see a glint of mischief in her eyes, and uncomfortably sent the man outside the door for a teapot of water.
"Um, where's Walter?" asked Ceres
"He asked for time off, and since there has been no activity lately I granted it. He should be back later this week."
Soon the man had returned with the water and left the room.
Humor was even more evident of Ranma's face as she turned to Alucard.
"She doesn't carry a gun too, does she?"
"Oops, Knew I forgot something."
He quickly reached into Integra's jacket before she could stop him, and removed her gun.
"Now watch carefully." Ranma instructed the woman.
With exaggerated motions she slowly poured the steaming water over her head. Integra's eyes widened as the girl's hair turned black, she grew several inches, and became what was without mistake a male."
"It's a curse, no known cure. But since Ceres changed me the mechanics seemed to have changed. I've been changing to my female form when ever sunlight hit me."
Kasumi got a look on her face, and pouring a glass of cold water from a pitcher, dumped it on Ranma. He was about to ask what she was doing, when he noticed he was still a guy.
He started to say something else when there was a knock on the door.
