Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing or Ranma, anyone who says I do will be turned over to Anderson for punishment.


They all turned as a small girl entered the room. Ranma's eyes narrowed as her saw her, and sniffing the air he confirmed his guess. He turned to the other three vampires in the room, his eyes red with fury.

"Which one of you changed her?" he demanded his voice a menacing hiss.

The other three vampires were frozen in shock, but the girl quickly diffused the situation.

"None of them, I was in England before even Alucard was here." She told him in a low tone.

Ranma turned to her, to find her calmly looking up at him from where she had taken a seat. He small legs don't even touch the floor. A book was in her lap open, she seemed to be reading it as she talked to him.

"By the way, I'm Helena since Alucard has deemed it unimportant to introduce me." She said as she pushed a silvery lock out of her face. (AN: Yes I brought her back from the dead, I like her.)

Ranma looked at the girl that looked to be twelve or thirteen, but was probably much older. He had thought that he had problem, but they were nothing compared to hers. He moved closer and glanced at the title she was reading. It was Romeo and Juliet.'

"I've always preferred 'A Midsummer Night's Dream." He told her as he sat across form her.

They others in the room looked on in shock as the two began debated the finer points of each play. All except Kasumi. She had seen his real grades one time when he had left them in the kitchen. He in no way qualified as a genius, but he was much smarter then anyone gave him credit for. Then a thought came to her.

"Ranma, what are we going to do about Nabiki. She'll find us soon."

It had taken him the first half of the plane ride to get her to drop the Kun.

"Simple, she's looking for a dark-haired boy; after all I 'hate' my female form." He said as he walked over to the curtains.

He pulled them aside, and looked out at the sun, which was almost gone, He deliberately waited and let a weak beam hit him. Within moments a red-headed girl looked back at them. Helena looked up at this, and her eyes widened at the change. She walked over and stared closely at Ranma. Then she turned to Alucard.

"I've seen you do this, but not to this level."

"I remain male; I just change my body structure to look more feminine. Ranma turns completely into a female." He told her sternly

Helena with out even thinking reached out and poked one of her breasts. At this Ranma lost her composure. She turned to Kasumi and demanded.

"Why is it every time I meet a new group of people, at least one girl touches one of my breasts."

They rest looked on confused except for Alucard and Helena, who had both learned Japanese. Helena looked embarrassed, while Alucard just barely contained his laughter. Then Kasumi got a look on her face.

"If your are going to hide as a girl, you'll have to look like one." She told Ranma.

"Fine, but absolutely no lace or frilly stuff." She then looked at Helena, "And, she gets something too."

The child vampire looked at her in surprise.

"What don't tell me you actually like dressing like that?"

Helena thought about the trouble of getting into her dresses every day, and agreed. Ranma thought about the problem of getting Helena to the store, and the turned to Alucard.

"How old do you have to be to stand the sunlight? Not like it, but be able to be out in it."

"A couple of hundred years maybe, it varies a bit." The elder vampire told her, seeing where she was going.

"Helena how long ago were you changed?"

"About 250 years ago, why…" she broke off as she realized why Ranma was asking. (AN: If I'm wrong, please let me know. But, I got the idea she was rather old from the anime series.)

"We have to be sure before we try it." Ranma said thinking.

Then an Idea came to her.

"Do you have any store that are open all night?" she asked Integra.

"Not that I know of. Why?'

"I was hoping to get hold of a small tanning light."

Suddenly Ceres ran out of the room, about ten minutes later she returned with a small black light.

"One of the soldiers had one for parties." She explained.

Ranma turned the light on, and focused it on the desk. Both Ceres and Integra back way just in case. Then Ranma turned to Helena.

"Can you just stick the tips of one of your fingers into the light? If we're wrong I don't want to risk anymore."

Helena Carefully put the tip of her pinky into the light, and braced for the pain she knew would come. When it didn't she opened her eyes, and waved her entire hand through the beam. There wasn't even a mark on her pale skin.

Ranma turned to Kasumi.

"Looks like the shopping trips on." She told her.

Ceres and Alucard showed them the rooms that they would be staying in. Kasumi got a guest room on the second floor. Ranma was led down to the basement and given a room. Nearby she saw a room that said Alucard on it, and another that said Ceres.

She opened the door, and saw a coffin like device on the floor. She turned back to Alucard, and looking him in the eyes said:

"No way in hell."

"You need to stay down here to keep away from the sun."

"Have you forgotten why I look like this in the first place? Plus where does Integra sleep?"

"Can you spend just today here? Ceres and I have things to do. But since your going out tomorrow you should get some rest. Integra sleeps upstairs; her bedroom is inside and doesn't have any windows."

"Fine, but I want a regular room tomorrow."

He watched as she lay on top of the lid. He wondered how she would feel if she knew several cultures buried their dead like that too. He closed the door, and head up the training center. It had a few people practicing, but most were taking advantage in the lull in attacks. He pulled out his remaining pistol, and spent some time shooting. Eventually he went to the office Integra had now set aside for him and started on some paperwork. He had severed the master bond he had with both of them, but Ceres still tended to look up at him. More out of habit that anything else. The same thing with calling him master.

By the time he had finished he could feel the sun rise outside. He decided to rest, he could also stand the sunlight, but didn't care for it. He also made a note to start teaching Kasumi English. That way she won't have to spend all her time with either him, Ranma, or Helena. He headed to his room, and as he lay down he could hear Ranma getting up.

His head jerked as she said "Sleep well Alucard." Before she left her room.

Ranma looked for the kitchen and sure enough found Kasumi already there. Helena was sitting down beside her, and Ranma joined her. While they couldn't enjoy the food anymore, they could still appreciate the smell. Ranma went to the fridge and pulled out the blood backs inside it. She then turned to Helena.

"Warm or cold?"

"Cold."

They both sat down, and began to drink. Rather than piercing the bag with her fangs, she had cut a small hole and slipped a straw in it. Kasumi almost laughed. Except for the size of Ranma's bust, they could have been two children drinking juice. She finished her omelet, and sat down beside them. It was quiet as they either drank or ate respectively. Ranma looked at the clock after they had finished.

"It's ten o'clock the stores should be open by now. I'll go and see about a ride."

Ranma thought back to the way that they had walked yester and after a few false starts found her way back to the garage. Several men looked up as she entered, and quickly adjusted their coveralls. She snorted, until she found a guy that wasn't really paying attention to her.

She walked up to him.

"Can you arrange a driver and a car for me and my two friends?"

"Why, can't drive a stick?" he asked absentmindedly as he tightened a bolt.

"No, it's just that one of us is a thirteen year old and the other two are Japan." She replied humor in her voice.

The man finally looked up at her. A grin came to his face.

"You the thirteen year old?"

He ducked the cuff that she aimed at his head, and stood up straight. Then seeing the other mechanics looking at her, he said;

"I'm free after I finish working on this. Come back with your friends in an hour, and I'll take you."

She agreed and made her way back to the kitchen. Finding Kasumi and Helena gone, she started to look for them. Finally she ducked her head into Integra's office. Seeing that the blond was there she waited a few seconds until she got her attention.

"Have you seen Kasumi or Helena? I got us a ride."

"I think that they went to Helena's room. Kasumi wanted to see if she had anything she could wear except the dresses."

She got directions to the room, and knocked on the door. There was a quick scuffling sound before the door opened. Behind Kasumi she saw Helena finish tying up the front of her summer dress.

"We have a ride. We got about thirty minutes before we leave. Either of you need to get anything?"

Finding out they were ready she went to her room and quickly got the money she had. She had it changed to pounds before she had left the airport. It should be enough to get her a wardrobe, and Helena a few outfits. She ran back to the others, not realizing just how fast she moving. She soon lead the others down to the garage. Luckily the idiots had left, and only the one she had talked to was still there.

"Anyway, the name's Henry, and you three would be?"

"I'm Ranma, this is Kasumi and Helena." The redhead answered him.

Henry had spotted Kasumi's inattention to what he had been saying, and guessed she didn't speak much English. This was proved, because as he drove to the mall either Ranma or Helena had translated everything her had said for her. He parked the car, and decided to tag along with the three girls. They went to the map, and Ranma quickly decided on the Gap as the place that she would shop. (AN: I don't know if the Gap is in England. But, if I can have undead in my stories, why not stores that don't exist.)

He was surprised to see that Ranma picked almost everything thing that a girl needed. Panties, bras, six skirts, several pairs of slacks, and every thing from crop-tops to blouses. Helena on the other hand got about three new outfits and new shoes. Not a single one of her outfits was a dress. She even got a pair of overalls with Hello Kitty on them to bother the older girls' amusement. Both Ranma and Helena wore one of the outfits they bought out of the store. Helena wore her new overalls and sneakers. Ranma had a black skirt, an red blouse, and a pair of dress shoes. He gaped as she threw the silk outfit she had been wearing into the trash.

When he asked her about it, all she would tell him was that it was from a life she wanted to forget. They passed an ice cream stand and Kasumi asked for a cone. He was surprised to see Ranma take a small lick, and then seem to wait for several minutes. It was apparently good news, because she grinned. He almost joined her until he saw the small fangs in her mouth. She quickly bought herself and Helena a cone, and both ate them with apparent enjoyment. He decided to wait to ask his question until they got back to the car.

When they made it back to the car, he spun to face her.

"When were you planning to tell me you all are vampires?"

"Kasumi's not, Helena is, and I'm not sure about myself."

"How can you not be sure?"

He quieted as she put his hand against her throat. A few seconds later he made out a heart beat. It was slow, but it was there. He was quiet on the ride back, trying to figure out what was going on. He finally decided to let Sir. Integra handle it. Even after she had accepted Alucard's offer she had changed very little.

He helped them carry the bags into the garage, where he watched as Ranma picked them all up, and then carried them inside. A soldier was waiting for them when they entered the house, and told Ranma that her things had been moved to a room near Kasumi's.

They spent the rest of the day putting everything away, and in Helena's case just walking out in the sun.
