Thank you all for the great reviews! I'm so motivated, this has turned into such a great project! I hope this chapter explains some more things. The end gets a bit serious, so read on! Wait! This takes place right before the war, so Pip is in it.

Pip and Seras strolled hand in hand through the brightening hallways of the Hellsing mansion. Perfect sweethearts, so cute it could make you puke. "So, police girl," Pip started and Seras smiled. "You know, I saw the strangest scene today. There was a girl in the mansion, one I've never seen before. She was with Alucard."

"Alucard? A girl?" Seras's smile faded.

"Yeah, he's a girl, that's what I've been trying to tell you."

"Um, okay…"

"Hell yeah he's a girl."

"Nuh-uh."

"Ouais."

"No."

"Yah."

"Wait!" Seras finally stopped the argument. "You said he was with a girl, who?"

"I don't know, I said I've never seen her before." Pip looked to the right side of his brain. "All I remember was she was incredibly attractive."

That remark left him with a bloody nose and a fall to the ground. Before the vamperina could get at the Captain once more, the couple heard a giggling behind them and ceased their fight. Seras turned around, straightened her back, and looked at the newcomer warily. Pip just looked. And looked, and looked.

Expectedly, Minerva stood a few meters from their location, resting mainly on her right leg. Her nano-skirt barely covered her bright pink thong. She looked at Seras with recognition in her eyes (You can tell because they turned pink), yet they changed color to purple in confusion after noticing Pip. The freak girl's mouth perked up into a full radiant smile. That orange-haired man is hawt! "Why hello there, Seras." She cried peppily.

The draculina stiffened at the sound of her name coming from the mouth of a stranger. "Hi."

"So, you're the resident vampirina. Why aren't you wearing blue? But tell me, you still not drinking blood? You look awfully frail."

Seras opened her mouth to object and counter the insult, but the sixteen year-old beat her to it. She was addressing Pip now. "Oh, are you a vampire too? I didn't realize there was another one."

"For you, baby, I could be."

That little comeback was it. Seras didn't care who that girl was, or why she was, or how lovable everybody thought she was, one thing was for sure she was going down. The vampirina hissed through her clenched canines, "Captain, we are leaving. Now. If you'll excuse me, who-ever-you-are, we have some urgent matters to get to. Cheerio."

With that, the still smiling Pip was dragged off down the corridor. His gleaming white-toothed grin never left Nemmie's eyes. Seras has a boyfriend too? The wimp has a boyfriend too! And he's hot! That's wrong! That's just wrong! All the hot guys from this anime are mine, mine! No matter who stands in my way! The Sue grimaced hideously, swerved around, and stormed off into the other direction down the hallway. She was off to the rooftop to plot her evil schemes. No one's getting in my way, no one!

She quickly spread like a plague through the mansion, infecting the men with a sweet-smelling perfume of evil. Except for Walter, because he wasn't just about to be labeled a pervert. In a single day, or rather mere hours, Minerva had literally gathered up a bunch of fans to follow her where ever she went. Hellsing's whole army of soldiers spread through the mansion behind Nemmie. Her popularity was astounding. Even on the battlefield, she rose far above the rest of the squad. She out-shot the leader, three times, just by throwing the bullets with her hand at the targets. Now that took sKillz0rz.

In addition to that, she was a real help, a true kind-hearted hero yet bad-ass at the same time. By dinnertime, the alchemist saved two kittens from two different trees, one being a palm tree. The kittens joined the soldiers in the fan base and became official Hellsing troops, according to Nemmie. After she crowned the kitties, rumor had it she hunted down and killed three rouge vampires that were conveniently plotting the kitten's demise. She sucked their blood because she was part vampire, but then stated the meal was by far one of the worst she's ever had. England vampires weren't like they used to be. Unanimously, Miss. Perfect was accepted into the Hellsing organization.

Once night fell, Alucard was up, and that only meant more trouble. He congratulated Nemmie on a job well done and told her not so secretly that she is the best thing that's ever happened to Hellsing since him. This conversation occurred around the dinner table for all to hear. None of the men, no, not even Pip, noticed Seras silently excuse herself from the table (and not because she refused to drink her blood that night) and walk sullenly out the back door into the garden.

The feast was a rather large one, a humungous one, a festive one. Numerous TV's littered the back wall blaring MTV music for all to hear. The self-proclaimed-Elric ordered a meal to feed two hundred consisting of all the royal English delicacies. (She said not to worry; she'd pay the money back from her Swiss Bank account.)

"I just want to have a taste of Europe, once again! I've been in Japan fighting off demons and monsters for so long. That place reminded me of when my parents, my foster parents, were brutally murdered by a pack of ravenous, carnivorous, demon hell-bunnies. I witnessed the whole tragic event myself; it was the saddest day of my whole life." The troops started to cry with the girl as she continued her story for half an hour. "Good thing I found my mom again, I finally feel home! Thank you everybody!"

At that moment, the door to the dinning hall creaked open and the aforementioned 'mother' stepped in. Her look wasn't of surprise, nor of even mild annoyance. Integra was perfectly calm when she walked over to the table. In fact, she didn't even yell when she noticed Nemmie spread out on her chair at the head of the table. She didn't even comment on how the girl was sitting (Nemmie lay on the chair like a sofa with her legs hanging off one end and her head resting on the armrests of the other end. She held a bundle of red grapes above her mouth, ready to eat.). When the room went suddenly quiet, the Hellsing simply stated, "I was just finishing some paperwork in my office-"

Her supposed daughter cut her off, "That's alright, mom. I saved your seat for you!"

"Non, that's alright, Nemandaria. I won't be joining you tonight. I plan to eat alone in the garden. It is a very warm night, I plan to enjoy it. Walter will bring me my food. Have a nice supper." And with that, the leader made her way out the door Seras exited through earlier, ignoring the stare Alucard was giving her the whole time. The awkward silence shattered and everyone resumed partying once more, as if their boss hadn't just strolled through the room.

"So, anyone up for dessert?"

The night was a warm one. The forest around the grounds stood peacefully where it should and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Numerous stars littered the sky and even the big dipper was visible. Somewhere far off, a lone raven cawed and flew up from the branch it was sitting on to get itself to the wild party Nemmie was throwing. That's right, even the bird loved her. But outside the mansion walls it was very quiet as well. Well, apart from the weeping of a lonely Draculina sitting on a cold metal lawn chair in the middle of the back garden. Seras was too preoccupied with crying her eyes out, putting them back into her skull, and starting the whole process over again, she didn't notice her boss quietly approaching.

"Seras Victoria."

The vampire flinched, hopped up and turned around. Her face was obviously red and wet from the tears but she managed to plaster a fake wide-eyed grin on her face and salute professionally. "Sir."

Integral sighed. This defiantly is getting out of control. "Seras, at ease. I saw you from my window. It's the new 'recruit', isn't it?" That was more a statement than a question and it served to bewilder the girl. At the sound of 'relax', though, she seated herself on her chair again and Integra sat across from her. Only a matching white table stood as a barrier between the two. How could she have forgotten the large office window facing the backyard? Now Sir Hellsing knows!

"Seras, I wouldn't have come down if it wasn't for you. It is the new girl, isn't it?" The Hellsing repeated, more to herself than to her subordinate.

"Well, no, ummm, everybody loves her." The police girl stuttered. "I think she's really nice and all-"

"No you don't!"

"What?" Seras whispered under her breath, confused and astounded.

"You don't like her! You don't even know her. You don't even want to know her. Victoria, I'm not blind. You even hate her, somewhat. Drop the act, she's not as 'nice' as everyone thinks she is, isn't she?"

"I heard she claims to be your daughter-" at the sight of her commander's scowl and shake of the head the young girl dropped her sentence. It tumbled uncontrollably into the dirt and wriggled there like a worm on concrete before shrinking back, dying, and lying limply on the ground.

Integra sighed. "She is not my daughter."

"What?" the draculina uttered once more, this time louder. Her formality to her boss was starting to matter less and less. Sir Hellsing was trying to tell her something, something important, and this was the time to listen well, like any girl should when her best friend comes running up with a problem.

"Whoever she is, she is an imposter, a fake, a fraud. Nemandaria is not a Hellsing." Integral paused when Seras's eyes widened in surprise. This was going to take some explaining to do. Again.

"I know she is not related to me, I never had a child. I'm only twenty-three, and she's, she's sixteen. That would mean I had her when I was seven. Seras, I'm also a virgin. I couldn't have."

So that's why Alucard looks at her neck like that when her back is turned! Seras pondered for a moment as Sir Hellsing looked back at the mansion. But why is she telling me this?

"I had a slight suspicion. But if she's fraud, why did you allow her to stay here?"

"She knows too much. Way too much for a regular girl or vampire. Or 'alchemist' for that matter. Also, she seems to have some strange powers apart from her usual strength. Something I can't quite understand. I can't kick her out, she'll come back again anyways. I can't kill her, either."

"Why not?" Seras's bloodlust was beginning to show.

"First of all, that would be very difficult and stupid. It's kind of like attempting to kill a general of an opposing army with a kitchen knife before getting rid of the army itself. It'll stop the attack, but it'll be very stupid and very brash to attempt, no matter how skilled you are with the knife."

"And the rest of the men are obsessing about her."

"Exactly. Now you're getting it." Integra nodded and her recruit smiled softly. All of a sudden, a thought came to her.

"What about Master? Couldn't Alucard get rid of her for you, us?"

The Hellsing rested her head on her palm in deep thought. A minute passed and Seras was contemplated whether her suggestion was of any use. That thought shattered with her boss's next words. "He wouldn't do it." She said. "You heard him back there, he is treating her like a daughter. It's unheard of from him. He didn't even treat you like that. He trusts her more than me."

"That can't be, he only noticed her last night."

"He didn't believe me when I told him it is physically impossible for me to have mothered that girl."

"Now that's thick headed, even for him."

"Yes, you know how he is."

"Humm…"

"It's strange, it's as if she put a spell on him, and he doesn't realize it."

Several minutes passed in awkward silence as the two women recollected their thoughts. The sound of a crow cawing came from the party. It was getting late and Seras wondered briefly what was going on in there. Actually, she probably didn't want to know…

"Seras, I have an order for you." Integral's voice cut through her thoughts.

"Sir?"

"You might not like this, but I want you to watch her. Watch 'Nemmie' and try to figure out what she wants from us. It's important we know. Report to me in my office tomorrow night at this time."

"I understand." As an owl hooted in the distance, Sir Hellsing rose and commenced walking towards her home.

"Um, Sir Hellsing!" Integra turned around. "Did you eat anything for dinner?" Seras asked innocently. Strange for her to worry about something like that.

"I ate in my office, away from the pigs."

Seras just smiled. "Good night, Integral."

"Have a good night as well, Seras."
