DISCLAIMER

A/N: SPEED UPDATE! ZOMG! Hehe yeah I know, I'm updating fast. But it wont always be so, I'm just VERY ahead on my writing.

So this chapter's only a baby compared to the others so far, it was 4000+ words but I felt it dragged on and I could achieve the same as what I've done here. So hope you like. And YES it's now going to be getting more funny/mushy from now on! :D Jubilation!

On Her Majesty's Order

Chapter 3

"You're shitting me."

"I'm not."

"So she really ordered you to?"

"Yep."

"When?"

"Within six months?"

"And the duration of the mission?"

"At least six weeks?"

"So the Queen thinks we can all wander around someplace like a bunch of tourists and NOT expect people to notice two VAMPIRES?"

"Actually the Queen had suggested a potential destination in her letter."

"The same letter ordering you to take a?"

"Holiday! Yes Alucard! How does this not compute in your head?"

Alucard flopped down onto the chair with a huff, arms crossed, and his eyes burning holes across the oak desk at Integra through his crimson glasses.

Integra glared back, and took another deep drag from her cigar which was all but burnt through.

Seras and Walter sat either side of Alucard on their own chairs, the timid blonde shifted awkwardly as they digested the information that had been conveyed in the Queen's letter.

The Queen had ordered Sir Integra to take a break, a holiday. In her letter the sovereign stated her concern for Integra's mental and physical health, knowing all too well the stresses that came with her position. She revealed that she had forced Integra's father, Arthur Hellsing, to do the same thing when he was running Hellsing; stating that the man would surely have gone mad if he had not taken a break every few years.

The Queen then went on to point out that Integra had run Hellsing for ten years without so much as a long weekend off, and sick leave didn't count (which annoyed Integra). She was therefore forced to order the head of Hellsing to take some rest leave for a duration of at least six to eight weeks. Stating that Sir Iron's would take care of the organisation in her absence, so the little fucker did know!

The question of the vampires was both raised and answered by the Queen in her letter. Undoubtedly Sir Integra would not feel comfortable allowing any of the other Knights control over her servants, and vice versa, especially in Alucard's case. The Queen had offered Integra, and her servant's entry into a place called Kumaju Island, a getaway location for the royal families of the world and other high ranking members of society. Basically it was a tropical island resort where the super-rich could relax without prying, public eyes. Alucard and Seras would be welcome on the Island; after all, the Queen owned it.

She finished her letter by reminding Integra of her youth, that although she was the head of the Hellsing organisation she was still a young woman. The Queen said that she had always been fond of Integra since she was a little girl and her worst fear was for her to grow up a cold, heartless woman who was married to nothing more than her work. At the end of the letter the Queen left a private number for Integra to call once she had made her decision, she also left a p.s note for Alucard.

' P.S Alucard, this command is directed at you. Ensure your master does good on this letter.'

Integra thought the prospect of some rare freedom would have appealed to Alucard (it sure well appealed to her!), apparently she'd been wrong; although not too sure why.

"What is the problem Alucard?" She asked bluntly

"I do not like the idea of this… excursion. It will leave you, and Hellsing far too exposed." His voice was monotone; however Integra could still detect the minutest flicker of irritation.

"I will be fine, as per Her Majesty's instructions I'll have you three to guard me."

"And what of the mansion?"

"The men will do just fine, and I'm sure we can sub-contract some extra manpower if needed for a mission. Worst case scenario, I send you or Seras back for a few days."

These words seemed to settle Alucard, for the moment, "Fine." He drawled, shooting daggers at the p.s note on the letter. "What did you want to do?"

"I like the Queens suggestion" Seras pipped up, apparently her mind had finished processing the information and she'd realised they'd been given free reign by the Queen to take a break, vampires and all. "That Kumaju island sounds amazing, and we can even go there master!" She beamed at Alucard who simply rolled his eyes at her excitement, causing her shoulders to slump.

"Miss Victoria does have a point" Walter chimed in, smiling at Integra, then Alucard who simple glared back. "If the Queen is giving us permission to bring lord Alucard and Miss Victoria then we could assume the island is more than considered a safe place."

"Sounds more like Alcatraz prison to me."

"How can you know about that and not know what Tescos is?" Alucard never ceased to amaze Integra sometimes.

"So it's decided?" Walter asked, getting to his feet, a hopeful glisten in his eye. Alucard and Seras rose to their feet too, the former not shifting his gaze from Integra.

"You're orders, my Master?"

Integra sat in silence, contemplating her words before speaking, once confident with her thoughts she addressed the three, and with a smile, no less.

"We shall go. I shall contact Her Majesty and discuss appropriate dates. Walter and Seras, I want you two to organise between yourselves everything that will be needed for our trip. Alucard…" She trailed off for a moment, "…I would like you to speak with me in private. You two are dismissed."

She could have sworn that Seras and Walter bounced over to the door, in unison like a pair of happy children who'd just been told that that it was raining chocolate outside. She permitted a laugh to escape her as the door shut. They had the room.

Silence.

"Are they far enough away?" She finally spoke, eyeing Alucard.

"… … … yes, they are know."

"Good." Integra nodded.

"…"

"…"

"This, is the tits!"

"Oh? Such vulgar language" Alucard sneered, pleased to see elation begin to take its hold over Integra.

"Alucard, I get to have a break. I get to have a BREAK!" She leapt to her feat.

"A long break" He added.

"On an island!"

"Where it that by the way?" He asked.

"In the pacific, somewhere near the equator. Heat mmmm and sand!"

"Oh joy. Sun" He mumbled.

"AND lots of young scantily clad women."

Alucard nearly had a heart attack when she started laughing. "Come on Alucard, that's got to appeal to you?"

A snicker escaped his lips, "Hmm, I'll have to get something for the police girl to show off in."

"Good luck!" Integra laughed harder. "Have you seen Seras! She'll bust out of anything you buy her!"

"Then topless bathing it is." Alucard chortled, mimicking Integra.

"And Jacuzzis, gosh this reminds me of the time when-"

"When you were fourteen, and ordered me to help you plan your dream holiday?" Alucard asked with a smile, pulling something out from the shadows that bubbled inside his coat.

"Wait. Is that!?" Integra gasped. "You kept it after all this time?"

Alucard was holding an old blue notebook; it was worn around the edges with age but had obviously been otherwise preserved in Alucard's possession. "You made me promise to keep it, so that when the fabled holiday arrived, we'd have a battle plan already drawn up."

"I… I'd completely forgotten about it." Integra was taken aback by this rare act of kindness.

"Sometimes you forget that you are still young Integra. This book was written only eight years ago, although that may seem a long time you are still in the flowers of your youth. The Queen is right, take this opportunity." He gently handed her the book.

"Thank you."

"You're eternal servant, Integra." Even though he sounded more like a friend at that moment.

"Now. Let us plan."

And the pair giggled, not childishly, but with relief.
