DN Angel crossover Inuyasha
Chpt20: The Arrivals
Kagome POV
Turning in bed, I slowly opened my eyes to the sight of the sun rays filtering into her room. Stretching, I could feel the silk material of my crimson nightgown brushing against my thighs. Slowly pushing myself to an upright position, I could still feel the aches at around my shoulder blade area again. My head started to pound lightly as I tried to stand up. When I finally did, I went downstairs to where the kitchen is. When I was at the second level, I could smell the aroma of food weaving up the stairs.
Finding it weird, I hurried down to the kitchen and saw Dark there sitting on the chair reading a paper while a widespread of breakfast lay before him. Just seeing Dark there in my lodge, the events of what happened last night drifted into my mind quickly.
"Dark you pervert!" I shouted as I went over and grab his newspaper, rolling it up and smacking him on his head hard before throwing the paper back at him.
"Ouch! What did I do to you?" he asked while rubbing his head.
When he lifted his head to look at my angry face, his hand was still massaging where I hit him with the newspaper just now. Though after he took a good look at me, his hand like suddenly stop the massaging and he was grinning rather blissfully.
"I wasn't dressed like this last night at the dinner. I remember Dark, and apart from anyone else around us, did you or did you not change my clothes." I demanded from him.
"You look so beautiful like that Princess." Dark said with a dreamy voice and a pair of dreamy eyes to match it.
Eye twitching, I slammed down on the glass table, and good thing it is made with a mixture of diamond components in it. "Answer the question Dark." I ordered him as our face was just a mere centimeter away from one another.
There I saw a spark in his eyes as the side of his lips curled up with a smile. I could feel his breath against my cheeks he whispered the word "No." before tilting his head sideways kissing me full on the lips in a gentle manner.
All my frustrations seemed to have gone away as Dark kissed me. Closing my eyes, I felt rather weak in the legs. He tasted of orange very sweet tasting, when the realization hit me that Dark is kissing me, I quickly pushed away from him yet at the same time missing his kiss.
Frustration is back though this time it is from the kiss. I was feeling angry at my own self for not being able to control myself. Standing there for a few seconds while I recover from that kiss, I just stood there and gave Dark a glare while he returned me a smirk. Not really wanting to continue this silent fight, I stalked off to my own room and get changed into something more comfortable.
A warm bath was what I need to relief myself of the kiss. With my fingers brushing my lips, I could still taste the sweetness of his kiss. Shaking my head to forget that scene, I check myself in the mirror one last time before going back to the kitchen for some breakfast and hopefully that Dark would not be there.
"How was your bath just now Princess?" he asked with utmost innocence.
"It was fine." I replied him with calmness that shocked me from just now appearance.
Not bothering to look up at him throughout of the breakfast, I could feel him watching me eat. I was determine not to look at him and diverted my attention to the food laid out in front of me. When breakfast was over and done, I made the phone call for someone to come and clean up my lodge. Normally I would not do this, but I am in a rush to go to the other lodge near mine.
"Dark, I have to go off now, so kindly remove yourself from my lodging." I said as I started to walk towards the door. However when I was about to open the door, I felt a tugging at my hand that cause me to be jerked into Dark's arm.
"Princess, you forget to say your goodbye." He said with a smirk as his eyes shine with mischief.
"Well then, goodbye to you Dark. Now release me." I demanded of him as one of my hand tried to push him away and the other trying to pry his grip around my waist away.
I felt rather startled when he started leaning closer to place another kiss on my lips again. Only this time, it is much deep in a way. When he finally pulled away from my lip, I filled my lungs with air once again.
"That was for accusing me just now of changing your clothes when you are unconscious last night." He stated while he placed a gentle kiss on my lips once more, which last for about a few seconds, "And this is for saying goodbye to you for now Princess." He stated with a light smirk on his face.
With my train of thoughts trying to catch up with one another, and when they finally did, the only thing I wanted to do was to slap him. Instead, "Don't ever do that again Dark. It's…" but I was cut in mid-sentence by him.
"You like it don't you? I do enjoy it very much Princess, guess it will have to be another time then won't it Princess?" he asked with a smirk and a twinkle in his eyes.
By then my back was already facing him and ready to head out of the door towards the lodges where they are now being made, ready to receive my guests. Closing the door behind me rather hard, I walked briskly towards the house. There, the staffs were busy making some last minutes changes to provide my guest with comfort and to their liking.
Checking through the whole of the lodge to see that it is in good shape and easily for them to escape when necessary. With a final check of the place, I went down to the reception where I did some of the necessary paper work, before heading towards the arrival area of the jet planes.
It was about 12.45pm did the jet belonging to Hellsing arrive. There were of course a lot of crates and two especially long ones. Alucard was the first to step out of the plane, as usual he was dressed in a plain tuxedo of white. He also has a black overcoat draped over his shoulder. And his pair of glasses tinted orange, reflected off the sunlight which is partially blinding.
Next stepped Pip who went ahead to tell the people handling the crates to be extra careful of them. He too was dressed formally in a white jacket and pants, wearing only a black shirt blouse inside. His long blonde braided hair reached till about his knee length and the familiar old eye patch over his left eye.
The last person to step out of the plane was Ceras. Usually, she would be in her coffin and only appear in the night. I guess now she is starting to get the hang of her vampirism abilities. This is a definitely good skill and a useful one for her to learn. She must have been taking her blood regularly and accepted her vampire side.
"Alucard, how nice to see you again." I greeted him. It has in fact been about a half a year since I last saw them.
"Same to you fox." He said with a smirk on his face. The term 'fox' is already irritating enough to hear when in the Feudal Era, but I guess it just grow on me since I get to know him.
"Hi Ceras, I see you have learn the trick to walking in the sun already." I said with a smile towards her.
She smiled in return and nodded. Her vampire teeth are still visible and they know they have to be careful when smiling. When I was about to call my greetings to Pip, I felt myself being hugged. One of the persons arm was just below my throat while the other was at my waist. Stepping on the person's feet, I was rewarded with the sound of a cry of pain.
There is Pip, dancing about on the same spot holding onto his feet.
"It is nice to see you again Pip, and I can see your habit is still there. Pity." I said in a light and amused voice.
"Your lodge is ready, and don't worry I have see to your needs. And as for you and Ceras, I have set up a room which is dark enough. If you still want to sleep in your coffin then by all means go ahead." I told them, Alucard is unusually quiet and sometimes that is a bad thing.
"Fox, I remember owing you a debt." Alucard stated with a rather amused and dark tone. This is not going to be good.
Groaning mentally in mind, "Well, since I don't remember about that debt, you don't have to return that debt to me then mushroom." I taunted him with that nickname. That nickname was especially chosen because of that big red hat he would always wear.
However, he look much better without that mushroom hat of his. He look younger and much better looking too. Leading them to where they were to stay for the remaining time on this island. We were all to await further instruction from Integral before we could even start doing any future planning whatsoever.
Back to reality, Ceras is seeing to Pip's injury seeing whether or not it was serious. There were those few occasions in Hellsing when I step on his feet a wee bit too hard and landed him not being to feel his feet for the next few days or so. Though this time, I did not step that hard I only step on his feet hard enough for him to realize me and feel the consequences that were to follow up if he continue with that kind of behavior around me. And knowing him, he would never stop.
Ceras and Pip, they both made a pretty good couple. And as for Alucard, well, he is not all that concern about his fledgling being around Pip anymore. He finds Pip a rather good motivation to Ceras. So good that he might even end up being her meal if she does not take her own ration of medical blood regularly to stop her hunger. Alucard though his mind is twisted in many ways, he is a rather caring undead no-life-king.
"Tsk…A debt should be repaid and never let it accumulate over the years. You might cause me to have guilt." He said in a pitiful tone.
"You don't have any guilt at all no matter what. And don't you start with me on the conscious part of you." I shot back at him.
He merely kept a smirk on his face, while looking down at me. I know I may be a demon and all, but I am not his height. I am a bit shorter than if and taller than Integral by quite a bit. Of course, leaving Pip and Ceras being the two short people among all of us. Not that I am being mean to them, I love them and especially my uncle Walter.
"Oh and a side reminder to the two of you, especially you Alucard. No drinking of human blood. Stick to your ration of medical blood. And Alucard, if I even find you taking a sip out of any of my guest, I will tie you up with that blessed sliver whip of mine and shoot you with my arrows. I don't care of the consequences from Integral, but I will do it. And I am sure she will not find fault in me caring out that punishment for you.: I added with a smirk of my own that tells them that I am not joking.
Reaching the lodge, I pointed out the various facilities around here and my own private lodge not far from them. It is at the highest area of this whole island and perhaps the grandest. Pip was amazed at the luxury of the place where he is staying and let his cigarette dangle by the side of his lips while he inspected the whole place.
"Oh, Pip, no stealing. If you do, you should know the consequence that follows." I told him in a cheerful tone with a wink before moving on to show them the rest of their lodge. Each of them have their own room and of course, Ceras and Alucard get the room where the shades are powerful enough to block out all the sunlight streaming in.
All of the bedroom, have a grand canopy bed. Ceras took to the idea with great excitement in sleeping on a canopy bed and the main point of her excitement is being able to sleep on a proper bed like when she was human without any problem worrying about the sunlight. It is partially that when they are asleep and the sunlight is streaming in, being in a weak state of mind at times, they would be easily hurt from the sunlight.
At about tea time, I went out of their place to let them rest and the arrival of the night to grace us with her presence. Having tea was an equally pleasant time to be away and alone. Including being away from a certain someone and my tea session alone was starting to become so relaxing especially with the music playing softly at the background was shattered. Shattered by the presence of an uninvited person, who has now spotted me and heading towards my direction.
Watching him coming closer to my table, I looked out of the glass windows to see the clear blue sea and sky. I noted his footstep stopped and sensing by his aura, he was pulling out the chair quietly to seat himself opposite of me. Not bothering to look up at him, I look down to where my cup of tea is and sipped it. Enjoying the fragrance of the tea, closing both my eyes, I envisioned the scene of the peaceful sea before me and the mixed scent of the tea. The sweetness in the scent is so relaxing that sometimes, it just make me forget things at times. Though I am as clear minded as can be and it is nice to have silence, though minus the part of a certain someone's gaze would be even better.
Glancing at him, I return to my view and my tea. The first to break the silence was Dark. "How did your day went by?" he asked with not much of an emotion but his thoughts were projected rather loudly and saying, "I miss this morning little event in her lodge though, she smell and taste so sweet…" and such went on in his mind but I withdrew from his loud thoughts as though he meant to let me in on it.
Showing no sign of me hearing his thoughts, I replied him in the same tone. Even though part of my mind was in denial, but that was for me to know and no one else. My mind itself was already trained long ago to have a barrier to prevent anyone else from reading my thoughts or anything that goes on in my mind.
A member of my staff came up to me with a note. With a quick scan, I sigh but did not really feel like getting up from my seat yet. Duty calls, I guess I just do not have the choice. "Sorry to cut short on this little get together for now, but I have to go so I will see you at dinner or not." I stated but my mind was actually telling me that I was just saying and really wanted to stay there.
When I was leaving the table, I could sense his hesitance in action though I only have a mere idea of his action. However he seemed to reconsider and just watched me walk away. This time going back to my lodge by the many island little rides, I walked down to Alucard lodge to see them all seated on the couch and sofas.
"What did you called me here for?" I asked them.
"We need to know more about the details on your incident with a vampire." Pip said from his position of the sofa, smoking as usual.
"Alucard, you are awfully quiet now." I stated, noticing that Ceras was not with them, thinking that she must have been sent to take a nap in her room by Alucard.
"Aren't you one who complained about the noise I cause most of the time Fox?" he asked with a smirk on his face as usual. He was back in his own comfortable clothes, except he is not wearing his mushroom hat and his red coat. He look so much better without it anyway.
"Mushroom head. About that time was just another vampire, though I could not really tell whether it is a FREAK or not. It happened a bit too fast and well, I guess a part of my instinct sort of take over some action." I said in a bored tone.
"Amusing…" he replied with an insane smirk on his face. His eyes were looking out at the scene before him, and for a moment in his eyes was a flash of bright red, then they went back to its natural red.
Looking at his eyes knowingly, its already time for the likes of his kind to awaken and prepare for their hunt. Smiling to myself with head bowed down, my bangs seemed to fall before my face itself to cover my eyes, only showing my mouth.
Sensing Pip by his aura, I could tell that he had this expression on his face of totally confusion, not knowing what we are thinking about of anything so amusing. Apart from that another aura has made itself known as Ceras who has just awoken not long and rubbing her eyes. She too show confusion in her aura and no doubt throwing Pip a questioning look which he returned with a shrug.
Pushing my bangs back, it fell to the side of my face in a wave like shape. It is nice, though its nearly time to go and meet the rest of the group for dinner.
"Alucard, Ceras, I am sure there is ample of medical blood that Walter have packed for you two. To stress on an important note, Alucard you are not allowed to snack on anyone. Not a single nip or a lick of anyone's blood. Well, I shall leave you two to having your dinner first. If its alright with all of you, maybe you could join me for dinner with the rest of the others." I stated.
"Alright then, we will come along with you Fox," Alucard replied on their behalf, and they have to follow what he says. Though Pip seemed to have a rather big smile plastered on his face, and Ceras had an expression on her face of eagerness to meet new people.
Smiling, I gave them a wink before telling them that I would come by their place in a while after I have refreshed myself. Before leaving, I reminded Alucard to dress like a normal human being and not the Count or vampire that he is.
It was about a five to ten minutes walk for me back to my lodge, and I have at least half an hour to prepare, more than enough time for me to take my time in the bath and do any other necessary things. Definitely not forgetting to write a letter to Integral on the arrival of the squad she sent over.
It is weird as to why she would dispatch the best agents of Hellsing to me, though I guess it would be alright since Integra could call upon Alucard when she needs his presence. The bath itself was relaxing, so relaxing that I nearly forgot about the time. Rushing to get dressed, I ran over to Alucard's lodge with my demon speed. Not breaking a single sweat, but still I am not really sure whether this time I will blackout anytime, hopefully not.
By the time I got there, they wee waiting for me at the front door. No doubt told by Alucard of my arrival that made them so fast. Smiling in appreciation towards them, I lead them down to the restaurant. The walk down there was fast and we were just in time too when Daisuke and the rest of his friends got themselves settled in comfortably and chatting away.
Introductions were made and Pip being his usual self, gave them all a cheeky smile. It did capture their, for a while. Ceras captured the attention from the male side, Alucard was the one that captured the most attention from the female side. They were all looking towards him with interest. He had a loop sided smile mix smirk, his black hair was short and create the illusion of him being a tall dark and handsome guy in practically all of their mind under the dim lightings of the restaurant. Alucard he actually wore human clothes and to the correct extent of not being too overly dress.
Dressed in only a pair of black pants and a loose red shirt blouse that is partially buttoned up fully, some of the girls were practically drooling over him. And as for Alucard, he was actually enjoying himself for the first time I guess. Dinner was an interesting time, red wine was called for Alucard, and some other alcoholic drink was called for the rest of use. Only Daisuke and his classmates were not allowed to drink any.
By the time dinner was over, we each went our separate ways, though a few linger behind trying to talk to Alucard, Ceras or Pip. Mostly it is Alucard and the boys would go for Ceras because of some of her physical attributes that seemed to attract them to her.
It is weird though, for the whole night, I caught a glimpse of Dark during dinner and not really seeing him. Not really caring about his whereabouts, I am sure he would turn up sooner or later. Though now is the time for me to go and turn in for the night. Alucard and Ceras were off exploring and he is still teaching her to be a proper vampire and some of the more basic and important skills. Pip on the other hand, had decided to tag along with them and see how Ceras is progressing in her lesson.
Before even actually walking back to my lodge, I went walking by the beach with them for a while talking, though most of the time is when Alucard and I would exchange teases to one another. Though it all came to an end when I sensed Dark's presence, flying low, I spot him flying towards us, to a stop and stood before us.
Alucard just gave him a glance before looking away to check on Ceras. In his mind, he thought out loudly telling me that Dark looks rather weak and does not really seemed to be a demon like me. Replying Alucard the necessary answers, I told him of my assumption of Dark being a fallen angel or an angel of sort, though I am not really sure of the details myself. Sighing, I questioned Dark of his appearance.
"Here to walk you back to your lodge Princess. Since you are still busy, then I will take my leave now." He said in a rather disappointed tone, yet there is signs of jealousy in his voice.
Laughing mentally in my head, I know Alucard heard that and plastered on his face was a getting wider and more insane. Smirking at him with a glint in my eyes, I could see his shoulders going up and down as a deep chuckle escape from his mouth. Sighing, I hooked my arms through Dark, pulling him beside me, I turned to face Alucard and stick a tongue out at him. This only cause him to smirk even wider.
"Well, see you then Mushroom head. Bye Pip, Ceras, see you two tomorrow morning or something like that." I said smiling at them and mentally telling Ceras to be work harder.
"Come on Dark, lets go." I said walking away from them with my arms still hooked within his. We walked towards the lodge and the area was rather quiet with no one on the beach but the two of us. Sighing, I looked out towards the sea, unhooking from his arm, I walked towards the water to feel its coldness washing up against my feet. I could feel the sand around my feet washed away by the incoming waves and making my feet. Bending down, the wave is starting to brush up against my ankle and getting higher and higher with each passing minutes.
Brushing my hand against the surface of the water like it's a piece of feather, when I was about to stand up , I could feel myself being swept off my feet and into a warm solid body. It was Dark's and he felt warm and comforting to me.
Closing my eyes for the moment, I could feel his breath against my neck when he buried his nose in my hair. His touch warm and gentle, when he drew us apart slightly to look at me, I could feel the skirt of my dress was wet and spreading to the rest of my dress because of the water. It clings to my legs and gave a rather translucent like look at the base. Showing the curve of my legs and my waist, seeing the way his eyes linger on my face, yet concentrated mostly on my lips.
When he put his curved index finger below my chin, he inclined my head up to meet his lips, where his kisses were soft and warm. His other hand was pressed gently against my back to bring me closer to him, while his other hand was at the back of my head, gently cradling it.
My legs were feeling rather soft and nearly collapsing beneath me, though when we broke apart, I whispered the word no that came out so softly I was not sure that he heard it. Yet he stopped his action, and for that I am grateful, yet I longed for that kiss one more time.
"You're right, lets go back, you look tired." He said when this time, I was really swept off my feet into his arms as he kicked off the ground to fly towards my lodge.
Dropping me off at the balcony of my room, I with a final parting soft kiss from him as his lips linger there for a few minutes longer, we finally said goodnight. Once he flew off, I changed into a night gown of red silk which was rather translucent, but no one is there to see it but me. Crawling into bed, I longed for that same warmth, yet at the same time was still rather afraid to open up. And when I closed my eyes, I could envision what happened earlier that tonight and the scent of the sea mixing with his.
A/N: Here is a long post and I am off to sleep now after completing this chapter at near 1am in the morning. It may take an even longer time now for me to come online, I really need to be more serious about my school work and my exams. Well good luck to everyone in their studies or their work, and happy holidayto those who are on summer vacation(?). Well, goodnight world.
