Daniel was pushing his men to the limits of their bodies, trying to get the equipment up. They would be sleeping well tonight, he knew it, and they knew it. It gave them something to wish for, something to be anticipating. Daniel smiled seeing that they were already almost done.
Oni appeared outside the orphanage and looked to the cracks in the building, and the ghouls around it, adults and children alike, he disappeared and reappeared within the building he started to search for the bastard or bastards responsible for this massacre. "Show yourself." He yelled as he destroyed most of the ghouls; it was better for them anyway.
A silhouette appeared in the darkness with bright red eyes and a grin only a true monster could give. "Oh, so you've come… as my Master has prophesized. You are very predictable." It was a woman's voice, though it was no innocent. Evil, dangerous and deadly as all hell.
She stepped from the darkness as a trickle of blood swam from her lips -- a dead Nun behind her. "Pure blood always tasted the best… Especially a child's don't you agree... Oni? I have heard of you, your powers. Come on; let's see what you can do." Suddenly a ball of black energy formed in her hand, almost like a black hole pulling everything around it to the darkness. She smirked and threw it towards him.
Oni jumped out of the way and said, "Control arc restriction release to level 5, keeping limited release until target has been silenced." He extended his hand and destabilized the vortex, "I'm in no mood to play... how dare you murder innocents... especially, children." His head fell low for a moment when he looked up to her his eyes had changed and now held no trace of compassion. He stepped back into a stance hand down from his sword, and launched, "this is the Tetsatsu!"
She giggled and looked to him; his speed was almost beautiful. "You've tasted the sweetest blood, haven't you?" She asked, before disappearing. It was like she was a ghost, not even there to begin with. "Hellsing blood… Mm… what does it taste like? Oh, I've heard so many stories and rumors. But only you know." She giggled and appeared in front of one of the crosses which were now inverted. "You were one of us, why did you turn against us?" She asked a simple question. She turned away for a moment. "This will be the best night in our species lives. Don't you agree?" She smirked and launched at him herself; throwing black balls of energy the size of cars his way. "We will free you from boundaries!"
Oni looked to her, "your words are nothing, as are your attacks!" He dodged and destroyed the vortexes. And threw beams of black energy towards her, "you've taken all these lives, and why, because you think it tastes good? Your pathetic!" he stopped and sheathing his sword extended his hand sending a wave of energy towards her, "now die!"
She growled and threw her own attacks at the wave of energy, hoping to stop it at least some what. "You've tasted that blood. Don't you want more? Innocent, pure, virgin blood... Remember the days when you were free of hatred and all you had, all you needed was the taste of the sweet blood and the smell of fear… Those humans have weakened you." She spat at his feet. "You're nothing but their pet that they will throw away once they get tired of you. They will throw you in the dungeon again, Oni." She grinned widely. "Remember how it was… what it felt like? That… loneliness, that thirst? Do you really want to feel that again?" She looked into his eyes and grinned.
The plan was going as scheduled and she knew exactly what she had to do.
he thought back to that time to that place before anyone had found him, before, he had been shown the way, and then the day with Alucard, he remembered the agents surrounding him he remembered that feeling when they locked him away... when... "NO!" The wave had momentarily weakened but now gained strength, so long ago, "Integra is different she will never do that! And I will never return to that way of life I swore a vow that I would never kill an innocent."
She smirked. "Integra… Hm... I wonder how she's doing right about now." She let her tongue dance over her bloody fangs. "Integra is no more right about now; just like her Father. As humans say it, she's up in heaven." She laughed. "Such fools…" She stepped forward. "What are you going to do now? You know as well as I do that the others will lock you away without even the slightest bit of hesitation." She licked her lips. "I'm not as dumb as I seem." She giggled.
Oni looked to her, "If that is so, then you would have never attacked this place! And I am not stupid if she were dead this symbol would disappear as would my restraints!" He looked to her, as he moved forward again.
"She may not be as of yet," she looked into his eyes. "But she will be." She laughed. "You will be free…" She took a step forward as well. "Isn't that what you always wanted?" She smirked. "My master will taste your Master's sweet blood. He will relish in the purity and deliciousness of her crimson life. Something you could have done a long time ago.
"This attack was purely a lure. A technique used by many of us to get what we want and it worked. How wonderful?"
Oni looked to her, "then I'm going to have to end this now. Hezbarette entrinem mortix!" He looked to her sending a blast wave towards her, "YOUR WRONG!"
She smiled almost and looked to him before the blast hit her. No, I'm not... She shot into his head as the blast engulfed her, destroying her completely. She didn't scream though, but some of the remaining ghouls growled and moaned, walking towards him. They started to crowd around him, blocking the doorway.
Oni looked to them and sent a wave of black energy obliterating them sending them into peace finally.
The vampire felt the ghouls ash away, so you lost, how sad, but your death will free us forever." He looked to the house transforming into Oni. he wandered by the groups of people. He walked up to the door and knocked transforming into the old man he saw downstairs, he opened the doors and changed into her father, "Integra how have you been?"
Integra looked up while saying, "I'm fine, Da--." She paused, her eyes widening. It was him! It was her father. Was this a dream? It had to be. She pushed herself up from the desk and blinked, rubbing her eyes. "Father? Is - is that you?" She stepped away. It had to be fake; she didn't want to believe it, but here he was… Right in front of her. "I don't understand this." She stepped forward, standing right in front of him now looking up into his eyes; those warm, comforting eyes like they always were... Ones that she longed to look into. "Father?" She bit her lip.
Oni was tired and he had to rush to the mansion he hoped he would get there in time. Arthur kneeled down, "Yes Integra it's me my daughter, I have returned." He hugged Integra close lulling her into a sense of security, before turning his head and opening his mouth exposing fangs as he plunged them towards Integra's neck.
As soon as she touched him, she knew there was something wrong. She looked up to see his head turning and his mouth opening. She knew them and pushed him away from her. "Foul daemon!" She yelled. "You're not my Father!" Her eyes welled up with tears. She was upset with herself because she had fallen for it so quickly, but it was something she wanted; something she needed. "Bastard!" She growled; hoping that what she saw was a lie… but knew otherwise. "You're not my Father.." She blinked her mind going straight into her dreams. This was what she had dreamt. Her father attacking her and God it scared her. Now it was truly happening.
Oni finally burst into the mansion at top speed he burst into the room as the vampire transformed, "You're correct but even though you saw through my disguise you're still dead!" He rushed towards her pining her to the wall, but he was torn away from her and thrown against the wall, "You touch her again and I swear ill make you suffer for a hundred years!" He looked to the man and drew his sword, "leave or die!"
As Integra was thrown against the wall, the wind was thrown out of her as well. She lay on the floor, barely able to breath with pain swimming up through her back side. She didn't really want to open her eyes.
The vampire growled and looked to the motionless Integra. "I'll return for you, my dear." He grinned and faded into wall, almost like phasing but completely disappeared. He was now outside the mansion. "He's stronger than I thought." He smirked. "I will come again. I can promise you that." He smiled and disappeared.
Oni sheathed his sword and slamming down a button he spoke into the phone, "Medical team to Integra's office immediately I repeat medical team to Integra's office!" he looked down to her and knelt down, he could see she was still alive but with a concussion and possibly a broken rib. "Integra, please wake up, he's gone now."
Integra slowly opened her eyes which were sparkled with tears. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around Oni and sobbed silently. She may be the head of an Organization sponsored by the Queen, but she was ten and as Oni had said before -- crying was not always a bad thing. She closed her eyes again; she knew now that this was the life it was going to be. She knew she could be able to handle most of it, but not like that. Her father was truly her only weakness right now, and she didn't intend on getting anymore so they could pursue and take advantage of. "..I was so stupid." She whispered.
Oni put an arm around her and slowly stroked her hair soothingly, "no... No your not, of that I am most certain, these people, they find and attack your weakest spot, I know this that I do." he tried to sooth her as best he could and uttered reassurances as she cried, they had hurt Integra and now, he would definitely kill them, and make them feel pain for ever making this mistake, she was a child, and a special one at that. He didn't understand what connected him to her, why he cared so much for her, why he had chosen to become her protector, she was a Hellsing but still she was a child and she wanted to help as much as she could... the words of the woman echoed through his head, they'll lock you up again. He looked to Integra and knew that she would never let that happen.
She had slowly calmed down, her arms wrapped around Oni's neck and her head on his chest. She took a deep breath and wouldn't let go unless forced to. She could feel a pain, but she didn't care. She had felt more than that lately so she could deal with it for now. "Thank you," she sniffled. "Oni… for getting here when," sniffle, "you did." Her voice was a slim whisper but, she knew he could hear her. She closed her eyes.
Oni nodded, "Don't worry about it, I'm only sorry I couldn't have gotten here sooner. he looked to her and picking her up stood and then they suddenly appeared in Integra's room, he sat down her injuries were not as severe as he thought and so long as she stayed awake for a little longer she would be completely fine. so he sat down in a larger chair that appeared behind him he rocked her back and forth slowly, humming an old tune his mother had sang for him when he had lost his first sparing match and was nearly beaten to death. He knew that she wouldn't like to be discovered in this state so he locked the doors and continued to rock gently and hum a thousand year old song.
Integra was slowly falling to sleep holding onto Oni tightly like a death grip. It had been a long time since she had felt like this; actually having someone to comfort her truly. She fought the urge to go to sleep to open her eyes. She was listening to the song he was humming and it made her feel better. "Thank you, Oni…" Right now, she didn't care if he was a vampire, she didn't care about anything else. She smiled and slowly went to sleep, her head back on his shoulder. Her grip loosened as she fell to sleep.
Oni smiled as a way of acceptance, he felt happy here for some reason, he felt that this was right, he knew that he would always be there for her, he closed the curtains so that the sun wouldn't bother them and humming slowly he eventually drifted off to sleep, happy that for once in his life someone accepted him even knowing what he was.
