"Speech"
'Thought'
(Author Explanation)
Well Come to Your New Home Try not to Bleed on the Carpet
Ranma stared at the HUGE house that they had just pulled up to.
"This is your new home Ranma," said Integra smiling at him as they slowly walked into the manor.
Ranma was led through the manor by Integra and up to her office. Ranma could not help but stare at the furnishings of this place. Ancient furniture, expensive looking paintings, hell even suits of armor alone the wall. They finally reached a pair of large double doors and Walter opened them and they walked in, Ranma could not help noticing that the sound of the closing doors had a finality to them, little did he know that Walter had painstakingly spent hours fixing the hinges of the door to make the sound because it was expected by people (Big mansion, gothic look, home to a secret organization, there are certain standards that have to be meet other wise the Hellsing group would be a bunch of whacko with gun saving the world).
"Now Ranma, would you mind telling me how you managed to come back for the dead," asked Integra sitting behind her desk giving Ranma a long stare.
"Uhhhh well I watched Alucard fight that Paladin guy and saw him use it when Alucard shot him a couple of times. With the do or die thing I figured it was worth a shot," said Ranma nervously scratching the back of his head. "If you don't mind me asking but why did you wait to ask?"
"Because Ranma, we were more than likely being watch the whole time that we were at the hospital and on the way here," said Integra leaning back in her chair slowly.
"By who and why," asked Ranma suddenly looking around as if he was being watch at that very moment?
"Ranma, that man you saw is with an organization that are not on the best terms with the Hellsing Family and what we do. They take every opportunity that they can to spy on us and your little display with the soldiers and Alucard would have gotten there attention. They would have in turn attempted to follow us to see if they could get any information on you," said Integra, "I do not know what they are totally capable of and did not want to risk revealing anything to important to them in case they were listening."
"Oh I see… uhhh Aunty could you stop staring at me like that it is making me nervous," said a fidgeting Ranma.
Integra blinked and realized she was using her commander stare she uses to make people agree with her, i.e bend to her will. "Sorry Ranma, force of habit," said Integra, "Now that that matter is out of the way we can discuss your place here with the Hellsing organization. Even with your extraordinary abilities you are going to have to go through basic training if for nothing else to familiarize yourself with our tactics and the enemy that we are fighting."
"I understand Auntie and I hope to make you proud of me and to bring honor to the Hellsing family," said Ranma.
Integra could not help but smile at that "Ranma, you have passed my wildest dreams of how you could have turned out and now you wish to join Hellsing knowing the risk," stated Integra slowing getting out of her chair and walking towards Ranama "I could not be more proud of you Ranma." When she had finished the statement Integra pulled Ranma into a hug.
"Aunty," said a misty eyed Ranma.
Of course at that moment Walter came in with some tea for Lady Integra and her nephew. He saw Integra hugging Ranma. Walter knew his Lady loved her nephew and was not nearly as cold as she played herself to be but the sudden change in her usually cool demeanor shocked him. The shock caused him to trip and send one of the tea cups flying over Ranma and Integra bounced off a wall (don't ask it Ranma) and hit a glass of water on Integra's desk and splashed Ranma somehow totally missing Integra (again don't ask) turning Ranma into Ranma-chan.
"Now this is interesting," Guess who just materialized into the room with an evil smirk.
There was a moment of complete silence. Walter was staring in shock at the boy turned girl, Integra was wondering how that water had missed her completely, Alucard smirked and had the look of a child, an evil demonic child who drank blood, who just won a life time of free ice-cream, and Ranma-chan was waiting for the fallout.
"Well, well, well it seems you are full of surprises human," said Alucard," I didn't think that anyone in this day and age would be stupid enough to go to Jusenkyo let alone get cursed there."
Integra felt Ranma-chan stiffen in her arms and decided to diffuse the situation before it got out of control and ruin her office.
"That is enough Alucard," said Integra, "As of today Ranma will be joining Hellsing."
"I see, well I'm sure that it will be… entertaining working with you," said Alucard has he faded into the shadows.
"Sigh…. Ranma it's late and we have all had a very trying night. How about we continue in the morning," said Integra stepping away form Ranma-chan.
"O.K Aunty I'll see you in the morning," said Ranma-chan. As she turned to leave the room Ranam grabbed one of the tea cups form Walters tray and splashed a little on herself turning him back to his male form, "Sleep well."
"How long do you think it will be for him to realize that we have not shown him to his room yet," said Integra turning slightly to Walter with a small smile on her lips.
After saying this Ranma poked his head around the door with an embarrassed grin on his face. "Uhh could you please show me to my room haha," said a blushing Ranma.
"Of course Ranma, we have a room ready for you," said Integra, "It is just down the hall from my room."
"Thank you Aunt Integra this really means so much to me," said Ranma feel the weight of the situation suddenly catching up to him.
"Walter I'll take Ranma to his room," said Integra stepping pass Walter into the hall with Ranma, "Oh and I'll be having breakfast with him tomorrow so prepare enough for…," Integra looked to Ranma for the answer.
"…Five people." Finished Ranma beaming at his Aunt.
"Are we expecting more guests," asked Walter a little rattled after all the night's events.
"No its just that I hope to start training sometime tomorrow and anything other than a light breakfast will slow me down," said Ranma as he walked down the hall with Integra who was laughing at a joke Ranma told.
Walter, the Angel of Death, finally had one to many shocks to his system that night and fainted. He could take on blood thirsty vampires, soulless undead, the blackest magic's, and even demons from the deepest pits of hell but this was just strange and creepy seeing Integra acting like this and that boy Ranma was just plain strange, ahh the joys of working for the Hellsing family.
After a few minutes of walking Ranma and Integra arrived at Ranma's new room. "Here we are Ranma," said Integra gesturing to the door next to them, "My door is down there if you need me or just to talk."
"Thanks Aunty sleep well," said Ranma pulling Integra into a hug.
"Sleep well Ranma. I will see you in the morning," said Integra pulling away from Ranma and heading for her room.
Ranma watched her go and when she had gone he sighed and opened the door. BLAM. SPLASH. BANG. When Ranma opened the door three things happened suddenly. One a gun shoot was fired into Ranma's chest, two a bucket of water was dumped on him turning him into a her, and three a small amount of confetti was blown onto Ranma and a sign unrolled saying "Welcome to Hellsing" in red ink… or at least it looked like red ink.
Hearing the shoot Integra comes running out of her room, gun at the ready, to find a female Ranma slowly getting up from a puddle of blood and water.
"What happened" asked Integra helping Ranma get up and checking for any major injuries… besides the gunshot wound. Ranma just points to the sign hanging in front of his door. "Alucard…" said Integra in a voice that promised death.
"You called," said Alucard stepping form the shadows.
"Did you do this," asked Integra pointing to the sign and glaring at the Unlife King.
"Why yes I did," said Alucard smirking at the two women, "You said that young Ranma here would be joining Hellsing. All I am trying to do is prepare him for field work." Alucard gestured to the door.
"And how pray tell, dose booby trapping his door do that," said Integra slowly building up her anger and more importantly slowly raising her gun.
"I am only trying to teach him to expect the unexpected and be ready for anything," replied Alucard in an innocent, like he could be innocent, voice. He didn't seemed at all concerned about the gun being pointed at him.
"Then why did you fell the need to splash Ranma with water," shouted Integra finally having enough of the demented vampire after the emotional night.
"Because I could. Plus it was amusing to watch," said Alucard sinking into the shadows his crazed grin never leaving his face.
"ALUCARD," shouted Integra firing a shot at the floor the vampire had occupied a second ago. Insane laughter was the only thing that answered he yell.
"What happened," shouted Walter as he ran down the corridor. Along with a group of guards who had been drawn by the shouting and gun shots.
"Walter I want orders given to the men to shoot Alucard on sight when he is not on a mission," said Integra putting her gun away and slowing regain control of herself.
Seeing the look in Integra's eyes Walter decided not to ask questions, "Understood," and turned around and headed back down the corridor he came down dragging the guards that had come with him.
"Ranma are you o.k.," asked Integra calming down slightly seeing Ranma get up appearing no worst for the wear.
"Yes I'm fine," said Ranma glaring at the spot Alucard had sunk into "Man that is two shirts ruined in one night." Suddenly looking at his shirt.
"I'm sorry Ranma but no matter how much I would like to kill Alucard at times he is still needed in this organization," said Integra glaring again at the spot Alucard had faded into.
"Don't worry about it Aunty," said Ranma, "I'll just have to be on my guard. Besides he can't kill me or do any permanent damage right?" Looking at his Aunt hopefully.
"Your right Ranma he can't kill you or do any permanent damage to you because you are a Hellsing but sense you are a distant blood relative it appears he can to some things to you," said Integra pulling him into a hug to say that even though he was a distant blood relative he was important to her. "I am afraid that I do not have complete control over him and he seems very much set on "playing" with you."
"Thanks Aunty don't worry I can take anything he can dish out. Yawwwnnn… Sorry I'm really tired and would like to get to bed. It's been a long night," said Ranma suddenly struck by the fact he had not slept in two days.
"Alright Ranma see you in the morning," said Integra giving Ranma a final squeeze before she headed for her room.
Ranma tore down the "Welcome" sign and stepped into his new room. It was a large room with a king sized bed and various other furnishing plus a bathroom. Ranma was too tired to care about the furnishings at that point. The adrenaline had finally worn off and the last couple days events were hitting him hard. He walked over to the bed and just fell into it… right into the concealed spike on the bed.
"Ow," said Ranma tiredly not even caring a spike just when through his chest. Ranma just rolled over off the spike and on to the spike on the other side of the bed. (Alucard doesn't know what side of the bed Ranma sleeps on so he decided to be thorough) "God damn it," Ranma just rolled onto the floor with a pillow and fell asleep.
The next morning Integra got up and was truly happy for the first time in what seemed like years. Her nephew was here and he accepted what she did and wanted to help uphold the Hellsing family honor. She could not have been more proud of him even though she was worried for him. The fact that h e was not even truly a member of Hellsing and had aready been shot, stabbed, and put death would tend to worry anyone. Integra got dressed in here usually uniform and headed for Ranma's new room to wake him up and take him to breakfast. What she found was Ranma laying on the floor with two holes in his shirt and two bloody spikes on the bed. After seeing that he was breathing and in fact muttering about "Baka Vampires" she calmed down for a second walked out of the room closed the door and screamed "ALUCARD".
Author's notes: Well another chapter down and I have joined the few stories (when compared to the over all number of stories) that have over a hundred reviews W00T. Anyway sorry about the delay in update but writers block is a bitch. This was the kind of writer's block where your brain goes numb form even looking at a story but I am better now and hope to start updating more regularly. Oh an important side note there will be a much higher magic influence in this fic than there was in Hellsing and Ranma.
