Celestial Death: Hi! I'm finally back. I'm so so sorry! This chapter was written, rewritten, revised, and more. It was so long at one point that I have decided to split it into two chapters. But…Yeah I am very sorry for such a long wait! I'm in the final quarter for this school year, so it's pretty intense. But I only have four more days until summer break, so more chapters will be here faster. This coming week will be spent studying for exams. Again, I am so sorry! I really need a good kick to the head. Please forgive me. This chapter is going to now feature my little comedy reel. After the actual chapter is over, I'll have outtake scenes! So anyone with suggestions, please voice them. Once again I am so so so very Sorry! Please forgive me…
Nighteyes De Dracul: Thank you so much. Heh…maybe you can steal his hat later. Glad you find it interesting.
Aomee: Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.
Thank you all for your reviews, and please keep them coming.
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 Four: Caught in a WhirligigThe rest of the tour goes fairly uneventful and the go to sleep afterwards. Both girls wake the next morning to each find a big black, eight eyed, slobbering, blood breathed, hell hound scant inches from their faces. And, as can be expected, both let out ear piercing screams that ring throughout the Hellsing Manor. Upon hearing the screams Walter and Kurama, who were on their way to wake the girls for breakfast, barge into the rooms to find two frightened out of breath girls completely alone. "What happened!" Kurama asks as he and Walter scan the rooms. "It was Alucard!" Ebony yells getting out of bed and storming into Raina's room. "The No Life King with the sick sense of humor." "Ah." Walter nods, "I suspected as much. I should have warned you. Alucard likes to play tricks on Hellsing's new recruits. I shall inform Sir. Integra immediately and he will be dealt with." Raina and Ebony exchange an evil look. "No need Walter. If we're ever going to get along with Alucard, we have to show him we are not people to be trifled with. Besides, everyone knows turn about is fair play." As the girls begin to plot their revenge on Alucard, they fail to notice the red eyes watching them form the ceiling.
The girls continue plotting as they follow Walter down to breakfast. They sit at the kitchen table as Walter puts down plates loaded with hash browns, bacon, eggs, and sausage. "If you'll excuse me I have to go bring Sir, Integra her tea. As Walter leaves the three dig into the breakfast feast. "He forgot the orange juice." Raina says. "I'll grab it." Ebony replies getting up. Rummaging through the fridge she pulls out the o.j. and a can of coke. Popping the can open she takes a sip and sighs happily. "Ah caffeine, what would I do without you?" As she puts the juice on the table Kurama asks, "What would you two like to do today?" "Well we would like new clothes, but otherwise we didn't have anything in mind. Well, besides plotting." Raina answers. "All right. After breakfast we'll get Alucard and do some shopping. After that we'll work on your training and see what fighting skills you have." Raina nods her head. "Sounds like a plan." As Ebony is about to take a bite of sausage, she notices it wriggling on her plate. Putting it down, she looks at the rest of the sausage wriggling on her plate. "Uh…does anyone else have living sausage?" Kurama and Raina look at Ebony's plate, and then their own. They too have the living sausage. "It's not sausage." Kurama says inspecting one. "It's bugs." Stabbing one with her fork Ebony scowls at it. "Gee that's scary. I get the feeling he's mocking us." Raina shakes her head and looks at Kurama, "Alucard needs to grow up." Kurama nods. "Hmmm, yes. If you're done Alucard, why don't you join us?" More bugs fall from the ceiling as Alucard forms in front of the mini fridge. "Morning all. Don't stop eating on my account." He says as he pulls a blood pack out of the fridge. Plopping down into the chair next to Alucard, he begins slurping up his breakfast. "I'm fine." Raina sighs. "As am I." Kurama says. Ebony holds her fork with the bug out to Alucard. "I believe this is yours." Alucard smirks and melts the bug back into his hand. "I'll go see Walter about some transportation and money for shopping." Alucard says, standing up and disappearing into a wall.
Kurama and the girls go to the front foyer to wait for Alucard. While waiting, Kurama decides to contact spirit world. Reaching into his pocket, he pulls out a small spirit detective compact communicator. "We should contact Spirit World and tell them about your situation. They should be able to help." Kurama says opening the compact. While he's "calling" Raina and Ebony go outside to see what the weather is like and how everything looks. They step outside to a warm summer day and a very bright sun. As Raina soaks in the sunlight, Ebony lets out a yell at the brightness, clasps a hand over her eyes and runs back inside. "Who gave the sun permission to be so frickin' bright? My eyes are freakin' fried!" Rubbing her teary stinging eyes, Ebony is greeted by a deep chuckle. "My my aren't you the little vampire. Are your eyes always so sensitive to sunlight?" Ebony scowls at Alucard. "Yes my eyes are always this light sensitive. They have always been this light sensitive and it's only gotten worse." She growls out at Alucard. "I'll have to buy some sunglasses. Hey, I know what I can use!" Ebony yells running off.
After soaking up the sunlight Raina comes back inside and stands next to Kurama. He finally, after being redirected all over Spirit World, has gotten Koenma.
"What do you need Kurama? Is everything all right with the mission?"
"Everything is fine Koenma, I'm working with their best agent. But something unexpected has happened."
"What happened? How bad is it?"
"Well, last night two girls from another dimension were pulled through a portal into our world. The portal opened in Sir. Hellsign's office, and they are now under our protection. These girls have high levels of spirit energy, and actually were the ones to open the portal."
"WHAT! WHY AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT THIS! YOU HAVE TO PROTECT THOSE GIRLS NO MATTER WHAT! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DEMONS ARE GOING TO BE COMING AFTER THEM? I'M SENDING HIEI RIGHT AWAY!"
"Koenma please calm down. I am aware of the danger these two are in, and if a situation comes up that Alucard and myself can't handle, then I will call you right away asking you to den Hiei. But there isn't a need to send him, if it isn't necessary, especially since he isn't fond of humans. We don't need things any more complicated then they are. If you would be so kind as to look into how these two got here, I would be most grateful."
"All right Kurama. I trust you to do the right thing. But I want to be updated every few hours, and you shouldn't ignore your mission. I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you Koenma." Closing the communicator Kurama turns to Raina and gives her a slightly tired smile. "So we have the help of Spirit World?" She says returning Kurama's smile. "Indeed we do." As a car pulls up, Ebony comes running down stairs, Alucard's hat in hand. "All set to go." She says placing the hat on her head. As they start getting into the car, Alucard stops and morphs his clothes. He is now wearing a long sleeved black shirt, black dress pants, and his standard boots and gloves. Putting on his sunglasses he looks at Ebony's shirt and smirks, making a giant red eye appear on his chest. He gets into the car and he drives away.
As they pull into London's shopping district the girls can't help but be amazed at all the different things. When the car stops the girls get out in an instant, looking at the busy London area. "Perhaps we should have brought the police girl." Alucard says as he and Kurama step out next to the girls. Ebony turns to him and scowls. "Somehow I think we'll manage without Seras Victoria." "Why don't we try that clothing store." Raina says. She and Ebony walk off towards the store, ahead of Alucard and Kurama. "How are we ever going to finish plotting with Alucard with us?" Raina whispers to Ebony. "I guess we have to wait for tonight when we're alone." Ebony says as they enter the shop. They have entered one of London's most chic clothing stores. The girls look around as their "bodyguards" enter the store. After a little while of looking around Ebony stops and stares at a black dress hanging on the wall. It is an oval necked dress that comes down just above the knees. It has long lacy blood red sleeves, and blood red roses sewn onto the bodice and skirt. "Do you like that dress?" Ebony turns to find Alucard behind her.
"Well, yeah. Other wise I wouldn't be staring at it."
"Would you like to get it?"
"Ah…no I well…no. It's not really practical for fighting and I don't want to waste Sir. Hellsing's money. Besides I don't wear dresses really and I have no reason to wear it."
"Wear it because you want to."
"I couldn't spend so much money on a whim with no use. Especially when it isn't my money."
"Wear it because I want you to."
Ebony pauses, cheeks turning pink. "Hmmm, maybe. But…no, I couldn't. Besides you don't really mean that. You're just trying to get to me. That isn't nice." She says before walking away.
'Ah! Alucard wanted to see me in a dress! Even if he didn't mean it, I still like to hear it. How pathetic am I? Oh God, my heart is hammering. He probably heard it, how could he not hear it. He wants to see me in a dress. Unless, he was just saying that to get at my hearts desire. Gaaaahhhh! I don't know! He was probably just messing with me!' Ebony thinks, unaware that her facial expressions change with her thoughts, giving Kurama and Raina a very entertaining show.
After a few hours of clothes shopping they find a street fair and begin looking around at the little stands. Raina and Ebony stop in front of a flower stand. Raina starts looking through the different plants. "Are you interested in plants?" Looking up, Raina finds Kurama standing next to her.
"Yes I am. I seem to be able to retain all the science I learn, so that helps with my knowledge of plants."
"Really? Are you growing anything?"
"I grow bamboo. And a few other plants."
"What other hobbies do you have?"
"Well, I like anime and manga, I'm working on creating my own manga, I sketch, and read, I have interest in music, dreams, videogames, and other stuff."
Kurama raises an eyebrow and smiles, "Your own manga?"
Raina returns the smile and nods. "It's my dream to one day have my own manga."
As Kurama and Raina continue talking, Ebony smiles and silently slips away. "Hee hee hee. They're having a moment. I'll just sneak away."
As Ebony walks away a gust of wind comes and plucks Alucard's hat off her head. Eyes wide Ebony takes off running yelling. "Help! Somebody grab that hat!" Ebony follows the hat down to the waterfront and watches as a guy grabs it. Stopping at the guy she says slightly panting, "Th…thank you so much. That's my f…favorite hat." Looking up, Ebony freezes as she finds Alexander Anderson staring rather intently at the hat. Putting on an expression of complete and utter innocence, Ebony smiles at Anderson gratefully and wishes to every God she was wearing a different shirt. "Thank you so much Father. Uh…may I have my hat back?"
Looking at Ebony Andersons eyes widen as he sees her shirt. (A/N: For the sake of not getting lynched by an angry mob, I'm going to drop Andersons accent instead of slaughtering it. Sorry) "That's and interesting shirt you have on. And this is an interesting hat. Might I ask where you got them miss?" Anderson asks.
Ebony raises her eyebrows at him and smiles. "I made the shirt, after seeing it in a T.V. show and my friend gave me the hat."
"And where did your friend get this hat?"
"She bought it on E-bay."
"She?"
"Yes my friend Autumn. Forgive me for my rudeness. My name is Julie. I was just shopping with her. What's your name?"
Anderson gives her a long measuring look before returning her smile. "I am Father Alexander Anderson."
"Well, Father Anderson would you like to join me and Autumn for lunch as a way of repaying you for catching my hat?"
"That's very kind of you but I all ready have plans."
"Oh. Well thank you very much for catching my hat."
"Your welcome." Anderson hands her back the hat and Ebony quickly disappears into the crowds of people. Once she is out of sight, Anderson pulls out his cell phone and calls Section Thirteen.
After disappearing into the crowds, Ebony goes back to the street fair. A hand grabs her shoulder and Ebony whips around expecting to find Anderson standing behind her brandishing a bayonet. Instead, she finds a very annoyed looking Alucard. "Where have you been?" "My hat blew away and I went to catch it."
Alucards eyes narrow, "You reek. Do you honestly know so much about Hellsing and yet nothing of the Judas Priest?"
"Anderson was the one that caught my hat. But don't worry, he suspected something but was far from hostile. He seemed to buy the story I told him."
"What did you tell him?"
"That I was shopping with my female friend, who was the one to give me the hat, which she bought online. And that my shirt was made after something I saw on T.V. I even invited him to lunch, to make it seem more realistic. He declined. I'm fine. The sky is not falling."
"You should have called me. He's dangerous, and wouldn't give a second thought to killing you. He probably didn't fall for your ruse and is calling the Vatican as we speak. That was very foolish of you. You should have called me."
"So you keep saying."
"A foolish little girl like you shouldn't be walking around on her own."
Eyes narrowing, Ebony's mouth drops open in anger and hurt. "A foolish little girl am I? Well, had I called you he would know for sure that I have connections to Hellsing. Besides that you two would have gotten into a huge fight which could have, no, would have gotten people hurt or killed. And if it's so unpleasant having to baby sit me then consider yourself free! You know what, I'm sorry I didn't call you and let him cut off your head and stick a bayonet through your black and grisly heart." With that, Ebony storms off into the crowds leaving a slightly surprised slightly amused Alucard behind.
Meanwhile Raina and Kurama have been enjoying themselves immensely. They have been discussing their different hobbies and interests and have found they have a lot in common. "You used to steal things? I'm surprised you really don't seem like the type." Kurama says.
Raina nods her head with a slight smile. "Well, I was no Yoko Kurama. I only did it when I was little. And I never stole anything really valuable. After I stole some soap that looked like candy, I stopped. But as a child, I was a klepto."
Kurama gives a light chuckle. "Now let's see. We're both good in school, like plants, have dark, short tempered, malicious best friends." A pause as they laugh, "We were both thieves, we both like to read, we have similar tastes in music, and we both care very much for our mothers. We seem to have a lot in common."
"Yeah we do. This has been fun talking and getting to know each other. I've really enjoyed talking to you." Raina says giving Kurama a shy smile.
"I agree. It's nice to be able to have a pleasant conversation. It's about twelve thirty, why don't we find the others and get some lunch?"
"Sounds good."
As they male their way through the crowds they see Ebony leaning against a building brooding. "Hey! Are you ready for lunch?" Raina asks, clasping a hand on Ebony's shoulder.
"Yeah I'm ready." Ebony replies looking up with a less than cheerful face.
"Do you know where Alucard is?" Kurama asks.
"No. I could care less. He's probably off stealing candy from a baby." Ebony says with a snarl. Raina and Kurama stare at her with concerned expressions. Giving a huff Ebony rolls her eyes at them. "I was kidding. Alucard would never steal candy from a baby."
"I see. Why don't you two stay here while I go find him." Kurama says, disappearing into the crowds. Raina turns to Ebony and raises an eyebrow. "What's wrong?" "I got into a fight with Alucard." "What? Why would you two be fighting?" Ebony explains the whole ordeal to Raina. "And then I told him I was sorry I didn't let Anderson cut off his head and stick a bayonet into his grisly black heart." Raina stares at her with a concerned expression. "I see. Well, did you mean it?" "Of course not! I don't want anything bad to happen to him. I was just so mad and hurt at him calling me a foolish little girl." "I can understand how you could be angry. But, maybe you should apologize, and make up with him." "Your probably right. I hate having to apologize."
A moment later Alucard and Kurama appear from the crowd and join the girls. "Shall we go to lunch?" Kurama asks. Raina nods. "I saw a nice looking restaurant down the street." As the four walk to the restaurant Ebony watches Raina and Kurama as they start up another conversation. Sighing she sucks up the last remaining shreds of pride she has left and looks at Alucard.
"You really are a jerk you know that?"
Alucard looks at her eyebrows raised and frowning.
"But I'm also a jerk. I didn't mean what I said. I really don't want you to be decapitated and have your heart stabbed, no matter how neat it is to watch you regenerate. I…I'm sorry Alucard."
Alucard reaches over and rubs the top of her head. "You had your reasons for not calling me, even if it wasn't the best thing for you to do. You're perhaps, not a foolish little girl like I said before. You have guts, and that makes you very amusing. Even so, I want you to stay with me from now on." Ebony nods a thoughtful look on her face. "Okay. But I imagine it will get pretty crammed in your coffin, and I don't know if I want you back in my bed. Honestly I don't know where you've been. You could be riddled with disease."
Alucard rolls his eyes at her and scoffs. "You make me sound contagious."
Ebony grins at him. "Hey, you want me you got me. As long as you keep your fangs to yourself, and realize that I am far from pleasant to live with."
Alucard returns her grin and plops an arm around her shoulders. "I could think of worse things."
The scene where the girls come crashing into Integra's office if it was Hiei instead of Kurama
The girls come falling out of the portal only to land in the laps of their hearts desires. Raina stares into annoyed red eyes, while Ebony stares into amused red eyes. Opening her mouth to speak, Integra is silenced by a heavy overstuffed backpack falling form the portal and crushing her computer. The room fills with silence as four pairs of eyes watch the enraged Integra stare at the sparking remains of her computer. Before Integra can start interrogating the girls, the other heavy overstuffed backpack falls onto the desk, crushing Integra's favorite lamp and last box of cigars. Murderous eyes are turned on the girls as they cower into Alucard and Hiei. Disgusted Hiei quickly pushes Raina off his lap. "Baka ningen." He says with a growl.She hits the floor with a loud thud and Integra's priceless vase, a cherished family heirloom, falls off her bookcase and shatters as it hits the floor. Raina and Ebony stare in horrified shock as they hear Integra take the safety off her gun.
