Woah, that's a lot of reviews, and a whole lot of hits! Oh, I also just got Volume 1 of the Hellsing manga. "Wow" is all I can say. It is, in my opinion, better than the anime. Hm... Don't be suprised if a few manga characters show up eventually. Now I just have to think of how to work them into the plot.

Oh, and I'm sorry for the time it took me to write this. A few things came up in the process... I hope it meets your expectations!

H was bored. It was nearly 1:00 AM, but he wasn't tired yet. Of course, he was also afraid to leave the safety of his room. Alucard was most likely waiting for him somewhere, ready to pull a trick or something. As he sat at the foot of his bed, with his newly adjusted shotgun laid across his lap, he tried to keep himself awake by reading his book on vampires. "There's always something interesting in here..." he muttered as he thumbed through the pages. However, fatigue had taken its toll, and H soon fell asleep in the middle of a chapter comparing the traditional character of Dracula to Nosforatu. He fell backwards and sprawled out on the bed, quickly descending into a deep slumber.

At this moment, Alucard decided it was time to strike. He slowly phased through the wall and crept towards the bed. He waved his hand in front of sleeping soldier's face, and was glad to see no reaction. He had decided to see first hand what went on inside the sleeping operative's mind. With a toothy grin, he faded into mist and dissappeared from view.

Integra took off her glasses and rubbed her sore eyes. She'd been doing paperwork for hours on end, and she had a killer headache. She leaned back into her chair and closed her eyes, hoping they would stop hurting after a few seconds. But before she knew it, she was asleep. The door to her room creaked open, and Walter walked in with a tray of tea. He froze upon seeing her asleep, and quickly performed an about face and marched out of the room as quietly as he could. He gently shut the door behind him, and let out a small sigh. He turned around and shouted upon finding himself face to face with Seras. "Where'd you come from?" he quickly lowered his voice to a whisper.

"I'm looking for Alucard. Have you seen him? I think he is going to do something stupid..." she told the butler as he peeked back into the office to ensure Integra was still asleep. Thankfully she was, and he quickly shut the door.

"No, I have not seen him. If I do, I'll tell him you are looking for him," Walter promised her.

"Thanks, Walter. Goodbye," she bid him farewell and headed off to find her Master.

"Hm..." Alucard's face was wearing a bemused smile. He was standing in the center of a city street, rain falling from the night sky, and not a soul in sight. Skyscrapers and tall buildings, the likes of which he had never seen before, surrounded him on all sides. "Quite a dull dream, if you ask me..."

"Nobody did, Alucard. So keep it to yourself," came a snappy comeback from overhead. Alucard looked up and noticed a familiar face peering down from a broken window, a shotgun clutched in his hands. "What I would like to know is 'why are you here?', though."

Alucard flashed a grin, and quickly jumped up and through the second floor window. "Watch your tongue, human. This may be a dream, but I can still make you miserable. I'm here to dig up some dirt on you. I was hoping your dreams would be more flash-back centered, considering how much time you spent telling stories. It seems I was wrong..."

"Meh, not entirely wrong. This is my 'endless Chupacabra' dream. I blame the Chupacabra fiasco. Wave after wave of the little critters come at me... but since it is a dream, I have a shotgun that never runs out of ammo. But they never die... they just go to sleep or go play basketball once they've had enough. My dreams can be quite wierd..." H explained. As if on cue, a small creature appeared out of nowhere and dove at H's face. It was green, had scales, fangs, claws, and bat wings. "Speak of the Devil!" H smacked the beast with the stock of his shotgun, knocking the creature across the room and out the window. Alucard looked out and saw a limitless sea of green monsters. H frowned, and then shrugged.

"I see. Well, this was a waste of time, it seems. I'll just be on my way, then..." Alucard cracked his knuckles and prepared to exit H's subconcious.

"Hold on," H held up his hands. "You can go to other people's dreams, right?" Alucard raised en eyebrow. "Who else is alseep?" Alucard remained silent for a few seconds.

"Let me see... oh look, my Master has fallen asleep in her office. I suppose I could go see what she is dreaming about," he mused.

"What about me?" H asked, a sly smile spreading across his face.

"I've never really taken a person from their dream and into another person's. I suppose it is possible. But there may be side affects. Or you could end up trapped in her mind, unable to return to your own. The risks are too great, so I suppose-" Alucard didn't have time to finish the sentence. Without warning, a chupacabra jumped onto his face and began poking him in the eye. Alucard cursed and threw the thing bodily out the window.

"Hey, you're the biggest, baddest vampire I've ever met. You can walk through walls, mess with people's dreams, and all sorts of crap. I'm sure this will be no problem for you," H obviously knew exactly how to inflate a vampire's ego. "If anything goes wrong, you can most likely fix it."

"Hm..." Alucard contemplated on his options. He could leave and return to reality, go to Integra's dream by himself, or take H with him. However, the Chupacabra that randomly bit him on the knee made him jump to a conclussion. He let out a yelp, and there was a brilliant flash of light.

"What happened?" Alucard blinked his eyes a few times, trying to take in his new surroundings. He was sitting in a theatre, surrounded by nicely dressed people. And he had a friend with him.

"Wow, that was interesting. Is this another dream?" H looked around the spacious room.

"I suppose. That thing suprised me. I don't sense things as well in dreams... they're too random and undefinite. But this doesn't seem like my Master's dream," Alucard informed him.

"Why is that?" H asked.

"Because Walter is playing the piano," Alucard gestured towards the stage. Sure enough, the Hellsing butler was performing a beautiful piano concerto. "Hm... interesting. He must have fallen asleep a few minutes ago without me realizing it."

"This is a bit confusing," H scratched his head.

"Don't worry. Your feeble human brain cannot comprehend-" Alucard's insult was interputed by a swift kick in the shin. "Yeow!"
