My Favorite Game Chapter 1 - A Brand New Game.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of ze characters from ze ani-manga Hellzing.
A/N: Now I know I should be working on my other fic but I just finished watching Hellsing and was itching to write something that I thought of earlier in the series. Now I may add that Alucard's personality is a little hard to grasp, so bare with me. Also,I have no clue how long I am making this, but it's definately going to be over one chappie. This one is basically an opening, hence why it's so short.
Enjoy.
Locate.
Aim.
Fire.
"Stupid ghouls…"
It was what one would label a magnificent night. The moon was full; its light cascaded over the land. Everything glowed a particular glow, perfect for an intimate moment. Seras Victoria would have given her life for a moment like that, if she still had it.
"I need a vacation."
However, she had a job to do. Her 'profession' was to basically kill the dead. How you can actually kill the dead is a mystery. Being a member of the un-dead, she didn't spend much time dwelling on that.
"The way I see it, you spent more time cowering in a corner than killing, eh policewoman?"
That happened to be her master. The tall, unexplained vampire: Alucard. He has this thing with calling her 'policewoman', which happened to be her career when she was a mortal. Getting used to it was a bit difficult. At times she found him insanely creepy, but it least he was amusing. She needed all the amusement she could get.
"Excuse me? You were the one who just sat in the shadows calling out useless orders and directions!" She bit her tongue, he just laughed. They walked up the few steps leading up to the Hellsing mansion. This was one of the rare 'bonding' moments Victoria got to share with her master; although 'bonding' wasn't the right word to use. It was more of those instants where they were both alone, where Alucard would take the time to rant about her failures. Truthfully, the vampiress didn't mind it. One can get dreadfully lonely being a nightwalker. Talking to humans just isn't the same. Amongst entering, her master turned and grinned.
"Good-day, my policewoman."
"Good-day…" He disappeared. "…my master."
With a sigh, the blonde continued on her way; down stone stairs to her lifeless bedroom. There she shuffled in and fell face-first onto her coffin-type bed. Never had she felt so tired, so drained. Tonight's hunt had to have had over sixty of those zombies. Victoria didn't want to ponder why either. But that Alucard had the nerve not to do a thing! 'You are too weak. Blah blah blah.' Man, he can be so annoying. His servant slowly turned onto her back. And yet… She longs for his attention the most.
"No, no, no!" Shaking her head, the girl sat up and stared at object ahead of her; dinner in a bucket of ice. Somehow, she lost her appetite. It was one of those times when you're so tired you can't sleep. Victoria experiences those times a lot recently, using it to watch the ice cubes slowly melt. This time, the nightwalker wanted to take a walk.
The sky was getting lighter, dawn would come soon. There were no sounds. It was like everything was on mute. So peaceful. Finding herself in some kind of courtyard, the vampiress sat down on a cool stone bench and admired the setting. There were flowers everywhere. Wild ones, with vivid colors like plum and blood red. And in the center was an enormous fountain. At the top was a statue of a little girl. Victoria felt like a child at the moment, the fresh air and beautiful vegetation made her feel alive again. Now this, this is the perfect romantic setting.
"Romantic, eh?"
The girl was so dazed she didn't even jump at the sound of her master's voice.
"You shouldn't dream of such foolish things; romance, love."
Victoria blinked. "I wasn't!"
He grinned and shrugged. Silenced edged on between them as the man sat down. Since he sat just a little bit too close, their sides touched. Normally, this wouldn't be such a big deal. But this was the only contact they have really made since that night when master met his servant. So, the girl blushed and looked awkwardly away. He knew exactly what she was thinking and was greatly entertained by it.
"This romantic setting, what does one do in this situation?" His grin widened as she flinched. This was a great way of curing his boredom. "Answer me."
"Um... well. I'm not sure…"
"Oh? Too bad. If you know, I would love to cooperate."
Victoria felt her face burn even more. What on earth is Alucard thinking? He can't just… act all… weird! Well, maybe he can. He was weird to begin with. This was just another one of his games. A new game, she might add. He had never taken much interest in her before. She was just a hamster in a cage; ignored and fed once a week, fed meaning being seen by him, of course. The vampiress felt pressure onto her side and she noticed her master was slightly leaning on her, grin smeared across his face, like usual.
"I'mgoingtobednow!" She got up so fast that Alucard ended up falling over and hitting his head on the bench itself. She ran back inside as fast as her little legs could carry her, leaving the laughing vampire behind.
This was going to be fun.
A/N: Ta-da! Please review and look out for Chapter 2!
