Chapter 2

The Cello

Hagi sat all alone under a tree in the vacant London park. He'd been in London for a day already, on a hunt for the missing Diva. Her trail had led him and Saya, with her entourage of family and Red Shield members, there. His arm moved slowly across the strings of his Cello, clutching his bow, melancholy notes blended with the early evening chirping of birds. The sun was just setting over the horizon, but Hagi didn't notice. The brilliant hues of blue and orange danced above his head. The chevalier was in deep thought, a familiar place of comfort for him. He spent most of his days alone, either waiting for Saya to waken or when she wasn't in an unnatural slumber, for her to beckon to him in a time of need. They'd been together for over a hundred years, he thought, but she'd never shown him anything about the pleasures of the flesh. Not like the one who'd visited him last night.

As he played, his mind drifted off to the previous evening, the sensual feel Alucard's hand pressed on him, the sumptuous taste of his blood. He'd day dreamed of the encounter almost nonstop, it was a wondrous distraction he could use to fill his lonely hours. As his mind wandered, his pulse quickened along with the pull of the bow across the strings of his instrument.

As hour after hour passed and the shadows crept all around him, he continued to play. Such is the preternatural ability of the vampire. Suddenly, a loud crack broke through his exceptional hearing. He halted his assault on the cello. He listened intently; all his senses were on alert. Something was definitely there; he could feel it. Just as a hand descended over his mouth from behind him, he picked up the scent of Alucard. Hagi closed his eyes and let himself be drawn back into the delicious smell of the one who'd haunted him. He laid his cello on the ground as he left the tree trunk.

"Hagi…did you miss me?" Alucard whispered at a level only a vampire could hear. He'd been watching the young beauty for an hour or so, reveling in the supernatural melody he'd created. He'd stayed far enough away and down wind so his new infatuation wouldn't pick up his presence. He wasn't sure if he should come to him today, wasn't sure if it was safe. But when the opportunity had presented itself, he'd hunted him out. He pressed his lips close to Hagi's ear, barely touching the sensuous folds, "I missed you…oh, how I missed you…" he teased. He felt Hagi's body respond in reply, the young vampire repositioned himself between Alucard's crouch and leaned up against him. The elder vampire lowered himself the rest of the way to the ground and splayed his legs out on either side of Hagi. He wrapped his arms around the young vampire and pulled him close. Alucard could hear Hagis' heart beating a furious rhythm; he knew he'd had an effect on him.

Hagi felt the warmth from his evening visitor on his back and licked his lips as his breath deepened. He was hoping against all odds there would be a replay of last evening's events. He felt himself start to harden with just the anticipation of such contact. He wasn't sure what to say, if he should say anything at all, he knew the elder vampires keen senses would pick up his arousal.

"Do you want me, Hagi?" Alucard questioned, already knowing the answer. He pushed Hagi's chestnut hair away from his neck and gazed into the soft skin that had entranced him last night. He wanted to taste him again, to feel his blood flow across his tongue.

Hagi struggled to form words; he wasn't a vocal being to begin with, he'd learned as a servent child for Saya to keep his mouth shut in order to keep from being taunted by the self-indulgent girl. Plus, the thought that he'd be touched in that enticing way again tonight was igniting a fire in the hollow of his being. "Y-yes, I-I want…you," he stumbled out, his brow tensed with the realization of what he was submitting to. In one swift motion, Alucard unbuttoned Hagi's black jacket. Hagi felt lips graze the tender area between his neck and shoulder and Alucard's hand descend downward, slowly spiraling an insistent caress over his thin dress shirt. Hagi involuntarily moaned in response to the sensation bombarding his body. He felt Alucard's hand lightly position itself over his hardness and a stiff finger ran a delicate line up and down his length, on top of the fabric of his pants. Hagi pushed his hips forward in an attempt to increase the pressure that toyed with him. Alucards' finger slowed near the tip of Hagi's firmness and ran quick circles over it. Hagi flinched with the sudden focus on his g-spot. He twisted in Alucard's arms with the pleasure the simple action invoked.

Alucard grinned at the reaction he got from his young lover. He'd been on this Earth for hundreds of years and had many such vampires, but something about Hagi was different, he was introspective, a trait he felt the need to explore along with the luscious body. Alucards shoulder-length black hair veiled his face as he gently nipped just below Hagi's hairline. He stopped his hand motion and pulled the younger vampire close into his hips, pressing his firmness against the top of Hagi's behind. He'd love to drive into the brown haired beauty, but he wanted to take his time, savor the innocence he still possessed. There'd be plenty of time for that, he thought, he'd make sure of it. "Hagi, what do you want first, my blood or my touch?" he asked seductively.

Hagi was still reeling from the feel of Alucard's hand between his legs. He'd felt his hunger grow with his fangs, but his member was throbbing from being teased. He didn't want to make a decision, he was used to having other's decide for him. "Um…I don't know, both I guess," he softly replied. He felt Alucard's arms tighten around him and a chuckle emanate from the elder vampire.

"Ah, that's very endearing, Hagi, you want it all," Alucard mocked. "Well, maybe I should give you something special tonight," he teased, hearing the brown haired vampire's breath hesitate. He repositioned himself away from Hagi and pushed him up against the tree trunk again. He gazed into Hagi's confused eyes and leaned forward. He gave the young vampire a slow deep kiss, flicking his tongue against Hagi's fangs until he heard the moan he craved. Then he ran a hand down the front of Hagi's shirt, feeling the muscle underneath. He stopped at the top of the young vampire's pants and slowly undid them, watching Hagi's expression change from curiosity to lust. Once Alucard exposed his lover, he lowered his head between the brunette's legs.

Hagi gasped loudly as Alucard took him into the hot wet cavern of his mouth. He had no idea something like this was done; he'd never bothered himself with these things. The sensation was even better than Alucard's hand movements and he immediately thrust into him. His hunger swelled and screamed to be satiated. "P-please, Alucard," was all he could say to get his desire across. As he watched his lover's black head move up and down on him, he saw Alucard raise an arm and position his wrist at Hagi's mouth. Hagi instantly drew it close and bit the flesh. The sweet taste of the elder vampire's blood filled his mouth and matched the pulsing in his groin. He soon felt his climax surge; he yielded to the pleasurable contractions, moaning sharply. He let loose of Alucard's wrist as his lover brought his head back up and kissed him on the lips.

Alucard mixed Hagi's seed with his own blood as he kissed his obsession insistently. It was time for Hagi to learn a few things, he thought. He picked up the younger vampire and placed him on his back against the grass. He lay next to his conquest on his side and gazed into blue-gray eyes. "How did you like that?" he asked, smiling softly.

Hagi was still dazed and not sure what to say or even if he could speak yet. But he tried, "I…I've never felt anything…I didn't know…I-I liked it," he said trying to clear his mind. He could feel Alucard's firmness pressed against his side and knew he should do something for him, but he had no idea what. He'd like to try giving him what he was given, but he didn't really know how. He didn't have to wait long.

Alucard began kissing Hagi again, softly at first, but then more urgently. He unbuttoned and unzipped his dark gray trousers and then grabbed Hagi's wrist. He released himself from Hagi's mouth and brought Hagi's hand to his lips. After seductively licking Hagi's hand, the elder vampire placed it on his firmness. He guided Hagi's hand up and down and moaned with the touch of the young vampire finally on him. Hagi seemed apprehensive about the act. "Come on Hagi, don't tell me you've never done this to yourself," Alucard whispered, "It's just like that, only do it to me."

Hagi blushed furiously, of course he had, but only in very private moments for reasons he didn't understand. He wanted to pleasure Alucard, he just wasn't sure if he was doing it correctly and he didn't want Alucard to know how desperately alone he'd always been. He decided to venture a little out of his shell and do to Alucard what he'd done to himself on those rare evenings. He pulled Alucard's head back down to him and crushed his lips with his own. He pumped on his lover slowly at first and then as he sensed Alucard's increasing urgency, he sped up his pace and gripped him tighter. Hagi felt himself getting hard again as he pleasured the elder vampire, he found it intoxicating. He felt Alucard's fangs starting to puncture his lips as they kissed and knew the intense hunger his lover must be feeling. He pulled away and turned his head to expose his neck.

Alucard was near delirious by the time Hagi finally let him quench his thirst. He plunged his fangs into the delicate skin and sucked hard, drawing out huge amounts of his lovers crimson fluid. He felt his release overcome him in a voracious eruption as Hagi continued stroking him. As he neared completion, he was shocked to feel Hagi's teeth plunging back into his own shoulder as a result of his apparent re-arousal. Alucard slyly slid a free hand down the young vampire's pants to give him a second climax.

Hagi was overcome with desire and craving as he felt the elder vampire surge into his hand, he bit fiercely into Alucard again without a moment's hesitation. When his lover's hand found him firm again, he thrust wildly into the strokes in an attempt to take all he could from Alucard. His second climax came quickly and just as intensely as the first, maybe more so as his self-control was diminished. The waves of release pushed through his body and mingled with the ever-present blood in his mouth. He pulled away from Alucard when he finished, horrified at what he'd done. He wasn't invited the second time and he was somehow afraid he'd overstepped what little boundaries there may be between them. Hagi lay on his back, wiped his soiled hand on the grass, and looking up into the dark cloudless sky panting, "Alucard, I-I'm…sorry…so…sorry," he apologized, "I, I don't know why I did that, s-something just came over me and I…I couldn't help it. Please, forgive me," he continued, his voice laced with a combination of fear and regret.

Alucard just smiled, cleaning his hand on a hanky, "Why Hagi, that was the most you've ever spoken to me and it was definitely the most sensual thing I've ever seen," he told his lover as he leaned over him and gazed into his eyes. He spoke again in a very low, almost sinister voice, locked onto Hagi's eyes, "You are a vampire, you can play that Cello for hours and never tire, you can also make love for hours, over and over again if you so chose." He watched his words sink in to Hagi's psyche, the young vampires expression changed from distress to wonderment.

Hagi's gaze returned to the sky as he let his imagination wander, there was a whole part of being a vampire that he'd never known about. Why hadn't Saya ever shown him these things? He always thought surely deep down she'd loved him, but now he was starting to have doubts. Did she still think of him as her servant boy? And what of Alucard, did he have any feelings for him beyond these trysts? He wanted answers, he wanted to converse with his new lover about these things, but the shell he continued to hide in didn't permit it. He looked back at Alucard and drew him down on top of him, embracing him warmly. He felt the elder vampire return his hold and smelled the slightly spicy scent of his black hair. He was definitely finding comfort in that smell and the arms that held him.

Alucard was surprised by the sudden outpouring of affection he was receiving from his stoic lover. Could it be he could be broken after all? Maybe there was a way inside the quiet demeanor, maybe he would be the one blessed enough to be allowed into Hagi's secret domain. He held him closely, a seemingly impossible tender moment between two demons of the night. "Hagi, I want you to know something, whatever happens, I'll stand by you," he promised, as thoughts of Sir Integra Hellsing pushed their way to the forefront of his mind. He felt Hagi's hold grow tighter in adoration as he spoke the words. He'd done some searching since he last saw Hagi and found out all he could about his young lover. He knew there was a plan in place to destroy Saya and her sister Diva. At this point, he wanted no part of it if it meant he'd have to face Hagi in battle. He realized he'd have to come up with an alternate plan, one that would be good enough to convince his stubborn master to follow in lieu of the current one. He had work to do and he realized quite reluctantly he'd have to leave his stunning lover. "Hagi, I have to go, believe me when I tell you I wish I didn't, but there are some things I must take care of," he told him gently. He didn't want to divulge any information that would incriminate his organization or destroy the burgeoning relationship they had.

Alucard hesitantly pulled himself out of Hagi's grasp and tried to look into his eyes, but Hagi quickly turned his head away. Had he upset him? His young vampire was so quiet, it left him intrigued and confused. Alucard placed his hand on Hagi's chin and forced his lover to face him. "Look at me," he demanded. Hagi kept his gaze averted, his lips were pursed; a willful expression appeared on his features. "Please, look at me," Alucard implored, something was definitely not right. When Hagi finally complied, the elder vampire was struck by the glistening in his young lovers eyes. He wanted to smile, it was too sweet, but he knew he shouldn't. He knew it would be cruelly embarrassing. He lowered his head and gave him a lingering loving kiss. "I will return, sooner than you think," he pledged and he disappeared.

Hagi suddenly felt the warmth leave his arms and he realized he was all alone again. He found it even harder than last night, after the promises he'd heard from Alucard. He heard screaming in his head as he turned over in the soft grass and pulled his legs up to his chest. What was happening to him? Why did he feel like this when Alucard left? He'd wanted so much to talk to him, to get his questions out in the open, but he just couldn't. Now the moment had passed and he was left with his thoughts and daydreams. Hagi wished he knew exactly how long he'd have to wait and what was so important his lover would leave so soon. He'd wanted to tell him to stay, he'd have begged if he'd been able. He realized he needed him; he craved his touch, even if it was only an arm around him, that was better than being alone. A single tear escaped down Hagi's cheek and he brushed it away hurriedly. He hadn't felt the need to cry since Saya teased him when he was a child. What did Alucard do to him, he wondered?

He knew he needed to return to the rooms rented by the Red Shield, but he needed to lie here for a few more moments to collect himself. He could still smell Alucard's scent on his skin, on his clothes. He closed his eyes and imagined he was still with him.
