Integra sighed. "Blasphemous freaks." She said, taking a sip of tea as she read over a file that she had just received. It was of two "vampires." They were barely touched with the curse, and they were spreading havoc all over. Killing whole families, drinking their blood, and using the remains to spread words along the wall. She sighed. The day had gone quick, but she had gotten most of her paperwork done which was ALWAYS a good thing. She had heard that Victoria was doing as well as expected, give or take. She smiled and waited for Oni to appear like he had every day. She placed the tea cup down and turned towards the window, seeing the sunlight fade away behind the horizon and the darkness overtake the skies.
Oni awoke and looked around getting up he looked to a scroll he was writing last night, Walter had more than once given him a hard time for using such archaic writing utensils, he smiled and phased through the wall, "Good evening Integra, how are you?" He looked to the papers and picked one up, "not well I suppose, I see." he looked to her waiting for the full story, he could simply read her mind but he had always respected that boundary except in either extremely mundane situations or emergency's.
"There are two hooligans. Neither of them are true vampires, they are barely touched with the curse. We have yet to understand why. They have started killing whole families; one of them was Royal, unfortunately..." She sighed. "They are using the remains of their victims to write blaspheme and insults upon the wall. Insults of this country and so forth. The mission is simple: Seek and destroy." She looked into his eyes. "...Take Seras with you. It may do her some good."
Oni looked to the paperwork, "not good, they've drank all that blood when they're systems didn't need it, its in essence altering there physical structure on the sub molecular level, that's why there doing this." He crushed the picture of the entire family in his hand and ground it to dust, a fire burning in his eyes, "they took all that innocent life and for no reason, I understand, they'll be dead before dawn." He turned and phased through the wall. He appeared outside Seras's door and knocked on the door
Seras opened her eyes. She pushed herself up and looked over to the blood packet which… was opened. She drank a little bit but was disgusted with herself so she could not finish it. She stood and walked towards the door opening it slowly to see Oni. She looked into his eyes and walked out into the hallway. "Yes?" She asked. She could see the fire in his eyes, and she thought she knew where they were going: Mission. She nodded and took a deep breath. "I'm ready." She said.
Oni nodded, "good" he turned down the hall and Walter met them halfway, "your guns miss Victoria, I've given you cartridges for silver armor piercing explosive rounds and depleted uranium." He handed her the clip and the hip mounted ammo bag, "the gun has 3 modes, single fire sniper mode, 3 shot burst and complete automatic." He nodded and walked away, "You have a choice to make, I can assign you to Hellsing's first action unit, or you can come with me, it's your choice. But this is the one and only time you get to make it, once you've decided you have to stick with it understand?"
She looked to the gun and smiled softly, seeing the adjustments. He did a great job. But he didn't give her a chance to thank him. She looked to Oni and nodded. She thought about it for a moment, and she didn't know if soldiers that were trained to hunt and kill vampires would agree to have another in their midst... A female at that. But she didn't want to get in the way either. He had a job to do, and she was sure that he didn't want to be looking after her all the damn time. It may have seemed like the coward's way out, but... she didn't know what to do. She swallowed hard. "I will join the unit." It was what she knew best, for now. She gripped the gun tightly and laid it upon her shoulders, hoping that he would not be disappointed in her decision.
Oni nodded, "very well, well be teleporting there, and stand by." He looked down closing his eyes then he looked up again chanting something and they disappeared. They reappeared in the impromptu camp set up by the Hellsing solders. He saw captain Gareth and said, "Captain Gareth, this is Seras Victoria, Seras this is captain Gareth, Captain she will be assigned to your unit as first action squad until further notice." The captain nodded, "understood, sir." he saluted and looked to Seras, "well its nice to meet you but we should get down to business, right now they're at a house we've sealed off the area 5 miles down each road, they cant escape, but we need someone to go in." Oni nodded and said, "expect one of them to be heading this way." Oni turned away and walked into the darkness.
She nodded. "Yes, sir." She rushed to the position he had said and set herself up. Walter had done a better than great job on the adjustments. She bit her lip. If it was so far away, how would she be able to see them? She looked up to the Captain for just a moment before she turned and held the gun tightly, her finger quivering to get ready for the target to show itself.
All you could hear in the deathly silence was arousing moans coming from the bloody lips of the two "vampires" standing amongst the remains of their victims. He pulled away and started to laugh hysterically, blood all over his face as well. "Jessica?" He said, wiping the blood away.
"Almost there, baby." He nodded. "Just nine more to go." She said with an evil smile.
"God, after we do nine more of these cockers, we're going to be so much stronger. And we can stay on forever!"
Jessica looked to her left and smiled. "Hey, you want to?"
"They'll be watching'!" He said with a smile. "Look at you, the bloods got you all fucked up."
"Like your not." She said stepping away, pulling her shirt over her head slowly and teasingly. He started laughing again, hysterically as he pulled up the gun and started shooting at the ghouls they had just created, killing them instantly. His laughter reigned through the silence.
They didn't know they're fate would be coming quicker than expected.
Oni walked to the door and soon the door bore 2 slash marks before it burst open he walked in light flicking off his sword as he walked, "Pathetic, completely pathetic, your not even full vampires and your trying to become immortal, your not even deserving of your unlife as it is, Repent surrender and beg forgiveness. I'll kill you quickly and painlessly."
Leafe looked towards him. "Who the fuck is this bugga?" He pulled up his gun again and backed away as Jessica threw herself up, grabbing her own gun as well. "Whoever the hell you are… You're dead!" He yelled pulling the trigger as the bullets flew towards Oni with speed.
Oni scowled in disgust as the bullets simply ricochet off him. He walked forward as if nothing had happened, "pathetic undead not even purebloods taking that which is not nor should be theirs, killing innocents and only for your simple petty reasons, you kill without remorse without feeling and think you're deserving of immortality? He pulled up his sword in an attack pattern, "You're deserving of nothing more than the death my blade will bring you!"
"Leafe!" Jessica cried. "What the hell?"
"Shuddup, Jessica! Shuddup!" Jessica turned and started to run as fast as she possibly could, leaving Leafe behind to face his undeniable fate.
Leafe's eyes widened. "Who the fuck ah you?" His accent came clear, backing away and shooting the rest of the bullets. None of them did any damage, so he knew he was pretty much screwed. He turned and started to run after Jessica, hoping to get away. This bugger was crazy!
Oni shouted after him, "AT LEAST STAND AND ACCEPT YOUR FATE LIKE A MAN! COWARD!" he disappeared and reappeared outside letting the woman run, he chopped of one of his legs watching it ash away his eyes turned to the dull gold again as he looked down with utter hatred, and he chopped the other leg off, "those who do evil to others will find no peace and will die by my hand!" He slashed the mans arms off as well watching him scream in pain, before he stabbed him through the chest. he sent a telepathic message to Seras, "there's a woman running your way, she should be visible now, when you look for her pretend there is a snipers scope within your eye and zoom in you will se her."
Seras blinked hearing his voice in her head. "But I…" Immediately, her eyes narrowed letting her see a blue haired girl running towards them. "But… She's just a girl! She can't be a vampire." She argued slightly. Her finger hovered over the trigger and she bit her lip. No excuses, no arguments. Just do it! She closed her left eye and focused, seeing the girl running once again and pulled the trigger. Not seconds afterwards the girl screamed and fell to the ground in nothing but pure ash that faded off into the nightly wind. She gasped slightly, her eyes wide.
Oni nodded knowing it was done, "good, you see know that she was a vampire, she was just as responsible for the deaths of those innocents as the man was, vampires often become frightened when they know the end of their existence is near, Next time do as I say without hesitation, that is my order as your master." His words were not harsh nor reprimanding just the simple truth. He turned and walked away into the darkness. He appeared in Integra's office, "the targets have been silenced their moving in now to clean up the area." He looked to Integra a slight scowl on his face still from how they acted, wrongdoings were one thing but to run from one's punishment was the most dishonorable things one could do. Even if the punishment was death.
Seras pulled herself up from her crouch and let her hair shelter her eyes into darkness. "Yes, Master." She said, pulling herself up and following the Unit in the withdrawal.
Integra looked up and rubbed her eyes slightly. "Good, Oni." She looked up to his eyes, seeing the scowl on his face. She stood and walked towards him quietly and gracefully her hair falling over her shoulders with a pale radiance. "...You still seem angry." She said calmly. "Is there anything else wrong?" She asked.
Oni looked away, "no, I should know better than this by now. But to see those actions to see the death they brought upon innocents, I couldn't prevent... the deaths of innocents, all I could do, was kill those responsible, but that's not enough." He looked down, angry about what happened. They weren't like him but he hated how they acted as other beings if nothing more.
Integra looked to him. "It wasn't your fault, Oni. You cannot stop every single evil deed from happening." She stepped forward to look into his eyes. "We are doing the best we can at the moment. Do not punish yourself for such things. For one, it is not healthy… and two, I order you not to. I hate to see you with such frustration." She gave a small, comforting smile. "Do not be angry with yourself. Just remember those evil souls are banished to a never-ending life of torture and pain in the seventh circle of hell… and you have thrown them there. It's what they deserve."
Oni nodded and looked to Integra, his eyes now the clear blue, "you're a good person Integra have I ever told you that?" He smiled and nodded, "I don't like the way things are looking right now, that's 2 in almost as many days, and it used to be, at most one a week. Something's happening I think, its not organized but the devastation... is bad enough and I think its going to get worse before it gets better."
She gave a smile. "Things are going to get worse before they get better. They always do." She looked into his eyes with another smile. "But we will always be there, won't we?" She stepped back behind her desk. "It has gotten worse and it will only grow worse, but in time it will get better. It may not be visible yet, it's there." She sat. "Have a good rest, Oni.." She said still looking into his eyes. "Goodnight. You did good tonight, as you always do."
Oni nodded and phased through the wall. he appeared in his room again, the candles lit and he sat down and began to write again, a old soft Japanese tune played and the light danced along the old scrolls books and various other items, along one wall there was a large ink painting of two samurai in combat with the words bushido and heart of the sword on the sides, the others were all bookshelves that held anything from scrolls to what appeared to be potions and other magical items as well as another katana, in truth it was merely another case for formal occasions but he hung it on the wall none the less. He hummed along as he continued writing noticing the bucket had dripped some on his paper he moved the bucket and cleaned as best he could, he would yell at Walter later.
Seras had been sitting in her room, the door locked and secure. Her eyes were wide staring down the bucket of blood with disgust and an uncontrollable lust all at the same time. She stepped forward feeling her fangs elongating. She held her shaking hand out to reach for it but threw it to the floor instead. She growled and clenched her fists. Oni's words were echoing in her head, but she couldn't help but think that once she drank that liquid pleasure that she'd become a monster. Weren't the evil vampires driven by the instinct to drink blood?
She sighed and let her hands drop to her lap as she sat on the edge of the coffin. She knew she'd have to do it eventually, why bother fighting it now? She looked to the packet of blood and reluctantly walked over, bending down to pick up.
She held it in her hands firmly and leaned against the wall, sliding down to the ground. She looked to it with lust and closed her eyes, biting into it and drinking all of it almost immediately. After she was done, she tossed it to the side clenching her fists tightly. She hated this. Did she really have to? She sighed and laid her hands on her knees, lying against the wall for a few moments.
Oni could feel his fledglings emotions and hear her thoughts, their bond allowed this to happen easily he spoke to her, "No Seras, drinking blood doesn't make one a monster, and evil vampires lust for the blood of innocents, and nothing else, it is all that drives them, their craving and their need, for the blood and lives of the innocent, you need not fear, besides I promised you I wouldn't let you become a evil monster did I not? If you wish to speak with me, my door is open." He looked back down to the paper and continued to write.
She jumped with fright hearing his voice in her head. "Holy shi--…" Her voice faded off as she opened her eyes and stood. "Thank you, Master." She was hesitant to walking into his room, but did as offered. "I hope I am not interrupting you." She said seeing him writing. She gave a small smile and stood before him. "I'm sorry for that. As you said, it would take a while to get used to." She gave a nervous chuckle.
Oni smiled and simply said, "Iie, yes I completely understand, the first time my master did it, well lets say there were words coming from me that aren't fit for women to hear." he chuckled slightly at that, "Do you know what this is?" he pointed to the rolled out scroll before him, he saw the dumbfounded expression and couldn't help but laugh, "I'm writing another chapter in my chronicle, its a writing about all of the people in my life over the years, what they do what happens with them and even sometimes what they say, I started it the day I became a vampire, when I realized that if all the information I held died with me in battle, then it would be lost forever, I have kept it for a thousand years or so, still writing in the ancient way, in a form that only historians would recognize. Walter gives me a hard time about writing with an old paint brush and ink." He smiled, and gestured to the bookshelf full of scrolls, "each one is for a different person, and in a way it is my history as well, the past is important Seras it holds the present and builds the future, without it we are nothing." He looked to each group, the first and the oldest, his family, the Kodai clan, his wife Takako his son Hiko his daughter nasami, it carried all the way up to his meeting with Alucard, Arthur, and Integra, and now he was writing one for her.
She smiled and looked over to the many scrolls. It was DEFINITELY a lot. She walked over and looked over them a little bit. She smiled. "Heh, you write too much." She chuckled and walked towards him. He made her feel better; she wasn't thinking about the inevitable, or the blood, or the darkness or anything of the sort. She smiled over to him, he made her feel a bit more welcomed and accepted and that's something she'd be lacking. "The past is important." She agreed. "It builds who we are." She smiled and paused for a moment. "I'll let you get back to writing," she gave a smile, and this time, it was pure. "I'll take my leave. Goodnight, Master." She walked towards the doorway, wondering if he was writing one for her and what exactly would be in it. She paused. "Have a good rest, Master."
He nodded and went back to writing, "sleep well Seras Victoria." He smiled as he hummed along with the old tune.
