Celestial Death: Hiya! Oh thank you to every one who reviewed you have brought me such happiness! I'm sorry my chapters take so long…;

I always take forever when it comes to writing. First I write it, then read it and rewrite stuff, and revise it for days, sometimes weeks. Plus I have to keep up with school, which sadly comes first. Or so I tell people. Eh heh but you guys don't really care about my prattling. Oh, an important warning to all you Seras fans, while I will try my damndest to keep her in character, she might slip some, sorry! And as a warning, Ebony isn't very fond of Seras, who obviously likes Alucard, so of course, Ebony isn't fond of the fact that Seras likes him, and that causes some issues. Bare with me please, they don't get off on the right foot. Eh heh heh…

Sweet Yuna, Lady of Dreams: Oh thank you so much Moonie! You are the only friend that I managed to nag into reading it. I hope it holds more surprises for you. And remember to keep reading, or I'll have to start nagging again.

Soul: Thank you for your review, it put me in such a good mood and inspired me to write. You have brought inspiration to my mind.

Thank you all so much! I would shrivel and die without you great reviewers. Thankies, Celestial Death.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing or Yu Yu Hakusho or anyone from them…sadly…but Ebony and Raina are mine…and they belong to Sweet Yuna.

Chapter Three: Making Friends

The girls follow Alucard and Kurama into the hall and stop a safe distance from Integra's office. Kurama smiles at the girls. "Your names are Raina and Ebony right? And you know who and what we are?" The girls nod at both questions. " Well, it seems you two have us at a disadvantage. Perhaps we could take this time to learn more about you, and what you know about us." Ebony smirks, and Raina smiles warmly at Kurama. " That sounds great. It'll be nice getting to know each other." Alucard looks at Kurama, " Let's go to the library, it should be empty." Continuing down the hall Alucard leads them to a well-furnished room. Two large chairs and a plush couch rest in front of a fireplace. The walls from ceiling to floor are lined with rows of books, each dealing with a different aspect of the occult, religion, and science. Ebony stands in the room wide eyed as a grin spreads across her face. She begins looking through the different rows, reading the old worn spines and occasionally mumbling their title. Turning to Raina, Ebony holds out a book. "This one is on psychic abilities. Maybe it holds some answers to your clairvoyance." Smiling, Raina takes the book and sits on the couch. Ebony pulls out a large, musty, old book with "Vampyre" written in big letters on the front. She sits next to Raina as Kurama and Alucard take the chairs on each end of the couch.

"I take it you two have interests in the supernatural." Kurama says watching the girls. Raina looks up and nods. "Second to anime and manga, we tend to be interested in this sort of thing." Alucard floats a book of "Portals and Dimensions" off the shelf and opens it. "Shall we try to figure out why your spell went wrong?"

The girls nod in agreement, giving him their full attention. "It was a spell supposed to bring your hearts desire to you?" Kurama asks. "Yes." Raina says, "Except it brought us here." Kurama's face softens, "It would be a great help to us in understanding what went wrong with your spell, if you tell us what it is you two desire." The girls look at each other and their faces turn pink. Looking at the floor, Ebony replies, "It's actually kind of personal, so we would rather no tell you." Alucard and Kurama exchange a look. "Though it is not our intention to pry in your personal business, it would greatly aid us to know what you two desire." Kurama says looking at the slightly blushing girls.

Raina and Ebony look at each other and huddle close to whisper about their current dilemma. "I don't think we should tell them. It is way to embarrassing, especially since we just met them." Ebony whispers. "Exactly. Besides, how do we tell them that what we desire is th…" Raina pauses, eyes wide. "Don't they both have super-sensitive hearing?" Ebony nods, eyes widening in horror. "And you guys just heard our exact conversation." Raina says, turning to face Kurama and Alucard. Alucard smirks, "We heard everything, super-sensitive hearing as you know. It's pointless for you two to try and hide things from us, in this organization even the walls have ears." "They have eyes too." Ebony mutters. Alucard grins, "Then you know it's pointless to try and hide secrets from me. Why don't you just tell us and spare us all some trouble." Before the girls can answer, they are saved by Walter entering the room. "Ah! There you are. I've prepared adjoining rooms for the young ladies. Your room Mr. Kurama is across the hall from theirs. My name is Walter; I'm the Hellsing family retainer. If you have any questions or need anything, then I would be happy to help." Ebony stands quickly, happy to escape the embarrassing question. "Actually Mr. Walter would you be so kind as to show us around Hellsing? We would hate to get lost in such a large organization." Raina stands as well. "Please Mr. Walter?" Walter smiles fondly at the girls. "I would be happy to show you around. And please, just call me Walter."

As the girls follow Walter into the hall, Alucard pulls Kurama back. "What the girls desire is rather obvious don't you think? Raina's pin of you, Ebony's shirt of me, the blushing." Kurama nods his head in agreement, "I've noticed those things as well, but they might not mean anything. It's common for fans of shows to have items of characters, very common. For all we know they have other items just like them of other people back in their world. And as for the blushing, it's not unheard of for teenage girls to blush when meeting people they idolize. That also happens to be another common thing humans do. It would be wise to get some solid evidence for this theory." "Hmmm, perhaps, perhaps, we shall find out the truth soon enough I think. Humans they may be, yet, common is not a word that should ever be used to describe them. They are, very … odd." Kurama nods, "I noticed that too. Something about them makes them different from other people, special, in a way. I have a feeling these girls hold a much greater purpose for being here, one that will put them in a great amount of danger." "All things will be revealed in time. Now, is the time to see if these girls will be as amusing as they seem."

As Alucard and Kurama rejoin the group Alucard asks the girl in a casual voice, "You know Ebony that shirt you have on is awfully familiar, as is one of your pins Raina. They wouldn't have anything to do with your hearts desire now would they?" Ebony stiffens and Raina covers the pins with her coat. "Oh come on Alucard, get over yourself. I wear this shirt and she wears those pins because we're fans of your shows. Not because we want to further inflate your already over sized ego. In fact, why would we wear objects of our hearts desire, wouldn't that be a dead give away?" Raina snorts, suppressing laughter and gives Ebony an odd look. Alucard just smirks and gives them a sly look. "Well, if they don't have anything to do with your hearts desire, why are you covering them up? You could tell us, unless you're certain that I won't tire of this and simply read the answer." Raina turns to Alucard. "What do you mean 'read the answer'?"

Before Alucard can answer, Ebony whips around eyes wide and filled with panic. "Oh! I know what he means. He can read the answer form our minds! Alucard could just read our minds if he wanted. In fact, he could already know the answer and be messing with us. Oh God! Alucard is sick enough to take great amusement and pleasure form messing with our minds. Do really know our hearts desire, or are you just further messing with our minds?" Alucard smirk grows into a grin and he starts laughing. It starts as a chuckle and grows into deep rich laughter. The look of panic and paranoia leaves Ebony's face and she hits his arm. "Stop laughing at me! So I'm paranoid, you aren't exactly known for your out right honestly when it comes to toying with human minds. It's not even that funny." Laughter dieing down Alucard looks at Ebony, amused. "Are you always so paranoid? Heh, now I don't think I'll tell you if I know the truth or not. It's far more fun watching you panic. I knew you girls wouldn't disappoint me for entertainment." Ebony rolls her eyes, "Gee, should we bow down at your feet, or should we just bask in your presence." A feral grin spreads across Alucard's face and he turns to Kurama. "I'll have this one." He says, placing a hand on Ebony's head. "You can have that one." Ebony shivers and Kurama raises his eyebrows. "You mean to protect of course." "Oh of course." Warily watching Alucard, Kurama slowly nods. "Alright, we'll try it like this for now."

They continue on their tour of the vast Hellsing estate, stopping here and there. As they go into the shooting range, they find Seras Victoria. Upon seeing Seras Ebony's good mood falters, and while her face is polite, her eyes are in deadly glare set on Seras. Sensing her friend's mood shift, Raina quickly tries to cheer her friend up. "Think of anime, think of music, think of art, think of pillows, think of nice starry nights and full moons, think of beating up your punching bag, think of plotting, think of …all those wonderful bishis that you love." As Raina calms Ebony, both fail to notice Kurama watching them. Upon seeing Alucard, Seras instantly perks up. "Master! You have our new guest with you. Welcome to Hellsing, I'm Seras Victoria. Oh, three people, I thought Spirit World was only sending one agent." Walter gently ushers the girls and Kurama forward. "Yes well, we got two unexpected guests this evening. The young gentleman is Mr. Kurama, the agent from Spirit World. The young ladies are our unexpected guests, Miss. Raina and Miss. Ebony. They are to be staying in here, and are gong to be under the protection of Lord Alucard and Mr. Kurama. They are to be treated with the utmost respect and care. Do you understand Miss. Victoria?" Seras nods, "Yes Walter. It'll be great having more girls here. We can have some quality bonding girl time. It does get lonely not having other girls around. Well, of course there is Sir. Hellsing, but she doesn't seem the type to want to do hair and makeup and talk about fashion and boys. We're going to have so much fun getting to know each other. Oh! We must go shopping and get you some new clothes. By the way how old are you? I'm nineteen myself. And your not afraid of vampires are you? If you are that's perfectly all right, but really you shouldn't be. Not all vampires are bad. I'm sure we'll get along fine. Where are you two from anyway? And how did you get here? I mean mmphlgrph!" Quickly reaching out Ebony covers Seras' mouth. "I know you don't need you breath, but you really need to pause more often."

As Ebony removes her hand, Seras notices her less than friendly look. Frowning and slightly confused Seras asks, "Is there a problem? Did I say something wrong? Or do you hate vampires?" Ebony raises her eyebrows. "Problem? Why would there be a problem?" "Well, you just look so unhappy and unfriendly. In fact, you look down right mean and depressing." "Actually Seras this is how I normally look. Besides, do you have a problem with my lack of cheery bubble-headedness?" "Oh no of course not. You just look so unhappy and depressing I thought there must be something wrong with you. I mean, something must have gone wrong to bother you." Ebony's eyes narrow at the insult. "Well, if I'm wrong, then I'd hate to be right. I prefer to be dark, mean and depressing. It beats being sickeningly cheery and cavity causing sweet. Not all of us like that airhead act, except, yours isn't an act is it?" Seras growls at Ebony. "Well some people like to be cheery and sweet. You make more friends and people like you better. People like you are unpleasant to be around and don't have any friends because they're so horrible." "Damn Seras you really hurt me with that one. But I suppose if I wore a skin tight, too small outfit in an organization filled with men, I would have more 'friends' too. I like being mean and unpleasant. I have a dark personality and my friends, for I actually have friends, like me for who I am not how tiny my outfit is."

By this time Walter has now moved between the two agitated females. "Now that's enough, both of you. Your both old enough to know better than to be bickering like little children. This is a pointless, childish argument that should never have happened." While Seras looks down ashamed, Ebony's eyes blaze in anger. Alucard gives a chuckle and grabs Ebony's hand. "I'll take this one outside to calm down." As they leave Raina winks at Ebony, and Seras stares after them a mix of hurt and jealousy. Outside the shooting range Alucard releases Ebony's hand and ruffles her hair. "Are you going to fight with everyone in this organization?" Ebony sighs. " I haven't fought with Walter yet. I don't know. I really do respect Sir. Integra, I just couldn't stand the way she was so quick to judge us. And as for the bubblehead vampire, I'll never be sorry for that. I just…can't…stand…her." Ebony says, hands poised as if choking Seras. Alucard chuckles and can't help a small smile cross his face. "You certainly have a lot of gall for a human. Are you really that fearless, or just that foolish?" Ebony smiles at him, "Fearless, no. Foolish, certainly not. I think I'm more of a mood-swinging psychotic." "Let's go back inside." Ebony groans, "Alright. Just don't expect me to be nice. It's just not possible." Shaking his head Alucard pauses in front of the door. "Here in honor of being the first human in the history of Hellsing to fight with Hellsing's Leader and vampire fledgling, and spar verbally with me, and come out completely unscathed, you can wear this. For now." Reaching up Alucard takes off his hat and places it on Ebony's head. Wide eyed she adjusts the oversized hat. "Thank you so much Alucard. I hope you know your never getting this back." Ebony says, unable to restrain herself from giving Alucard a smile filled only with heart felt gratitude and affection. Slightly off guard by her look of pure sweetness, Alucard only nods and enters the shooting range.

Wah, chapter three finally up! And Chapter four in the works. This is four pages full of tiny writing in my notebook, doesn't seem that long. Hey, Don't you just love the way "Mr. Kurama" sounds? I like it anyway. The funny thing is, my friend Moonie almost picked Hiei to be in the fic instead of Kurama. Man that would be different. Anywho, be proud of me, and please review, I like to know what people think. I'll be going on a trip later this month, with lots and lots of time in the car. So, that should give me plenty of time to write more chapters. See you next time! Huggles Celestial Death
