Why didn't mother understand? Why couldn't she understand he needed her? Or did he.. Alucard couldn't tell.
He knew that father loved mother, and he knew that he'd end up loving someone, too. But was it Seras... Or was it...
There was an echoing of footsteps down the hall, and he saw her. Kura. Her red eyes gleamed in the dark, as she saw Alucard shake his head.
Her long, bright red streaked hair shone through the moonlight, from above, and Alucard refused to look at her.
"Ne, Aruku, what's wrong?" she said, as she raised an eyebrow at the boy's behaviour. She was one year his senior and she acted as if she was his wife.
He and his sister never really got along well, so all he did was mutter a "Nothing," barely audible. She shook her head; her brother was always such a pain.
"Look, I'm sorry your girlfriend's dead, Alucard, but you needn't be so dramatic. It's not like she was your fledgling or something..," Kura said, while Alucard cracked a smirk.
"OR WAS SHE!" Kura yelped at him, making fun out of the smirk, turning it into one of his goofy little brother grins. He just sighed and shook his head. Sisters.., he thought.
Kura was worried about Alucard, her little brother wasn't like she was, but they did both run the organization. Him being her master, her being the hunter -- and the head of the military.
All of the new recruits were surprised that a 15 year old girl would be their commander-in-chief, but, first one who made fun of her like that usually got his jugular artery ripped out, and then eaten. So, all was good with her troops. They never underestimated her, and she was finely proud of it.
When she left Alucard be, so he could rest, you know, after the tragedy their parents had bestowed upon him, she went down to the dungeons. This always calmed her down, to see the prisoners.. A lot of them became friends of hers, especially her. The one they were forbade to allow out of her cell, Shikazuchi. She was small, couldn't been more than 13, and yet.. She was extremely dangerous. Kura learned this when she first met Shika, and from then on has never tried to speak to her again. Until now.
As she reached the heavily locked door, she walked inside, after unlocking it with her voice. There she saw Shika, tied up in a straight jacket, looking at her with the giant pools of red that were considered eyes. She sat down, and stated her reason for being there:
"Help my brother, she is dead."
