New Life
Hellsing Manor is little different now. The curtains are always shut down, as if to prevent any light from escaping in. Well, that's the truth, since the leader is one of the night creatures now. The queen has been told about her condition. Half of the knights disagree about her condition and call her a traitor, but the rest give her chance to show her loyalty for England.
'We appreciate the souls who serve England with the utmost loyalty they have no matter who or what they are.' That was what the queen said via her royal letter for Integra. Under this situation, Integra only do one thing she always does since she led Hellsing; search and destroy. No matter what she is now, duty is duty, and as a Hellsing that she is, she does her best.
Her body maybe a dead one, but Integra does her activities as usual. She wakes up in the morning and sleep at night. The only obstacle about this only the sun light. But she gets through with it. Integra has seen Alucarnd under the sun light without any damage, and he makes it looks easy. Integra realize that sun light won't kill any nosferatu like Alucard, yet Integra isn't any, yet.
She keeps her contact with her troops as minimum as possible. She didn't say anything about her condition, yet she believed the fact already been spread, and she don't care to clarify any gossip. As usual, she gives them her commands with cold attitude, actual, and efficient. No one seems curious about the way she avoids sun light.
The next problem is her meal sessions. Actually, Integra can call Walter and ask him to wrap Alucard with his strings. Unfortunately, it will show weakness, and she hates to show weakness. It is Integra Wingate Hellsing for God sake, and she will not –in any circumstances –show any weakness in front of her enemy especially in front of her subordinates. In this case, it is her servant.
So, every time Integra is going to have her slumber in the night, Alucard comes to her. He loosens his tie and rips his shirt to show her his throat.
"Drink, Integra, my master." He says as a humble servant serving his master a normal drink. But there is neither cup nor tea.
Integra comes closer, carefully not to make contact with 'any sensitive part' of his body. She had carelessly touched something of his 'down' there before, and it was felt tightened strangely. Then, she heard him groaned and held her tight. She couldn't help not to jerk back in disgust, while he only put that devilish un-normal grin. After what had happened, she decided to make some basic rules.
"Servant, these are the rules in my meal sessions. You are not to move your arms and hands from your side. You are not to touch me in any way. In. Any. Way." Here she sighed and continued, " You are not to try to do any tempting action, and no seductive action. Is that clear?"
"Why, Master? No tempting action? Don't tell me you are scared by this scary monster you have. You are the Master, you should be able to compose your self better in any circumstance. " He said amused.
"Who are you to tell me what to do? Just do what you are told to!" She hissed angrily.
So they have her meal in routine every day. At first Walter find this sessions are too scary for his old heart, and decide not to disturb them. Once, he accidentally barked in when she was drinking from –well, you know who, and he quickly got out from her room. He said it is hard for him to accept the fact that Integra isn't human anymore.
"Honestly, I'm happy about the fact, for if it not because you're a vampire, you won't be here now. But still, it's hurt to see your little girl turned into something so… " And he left her without continuing.
But it's a different thing for Ceras. She looks happier then before. Before, every time Integra summoned her, she always looked so uneasy. She always looked gloom. But now, she's always looked better around her presence.
"Well, since you're now a… Umm… a vampire just like me, I think that you are more like a… a sister for me." She said shyly when Integra asked her.
Integra was surprised to hear that. She never expects that Ceras will like her. Integra knows for sure that Ceras has a crush for Alucard and feels jealous for his attentions toward Integra, so this is quite a surprise.
But, the most affected person in the mansion by her new condition is Alucard. He is far calmer now. And of course, as her new source of food, Alucard drinks blood twice more then before. He taunts her less now, and he 'visits' her in her private area lesser and lesser. And that is what scares her the most. He's just unlike the Alucard she knows.
One night, Integra was going to bed in her blue pajama. She was aware that Alucard was watching her from the shadow. But she was tired and gave no damn about him. So, she just lay on her bed trying to get a deep slumber. There wasn't any mission that night, and the next thing she knew she wasn't on her bed anymore.
It was dark, and by her vampire eyes, she recognized that she was inside some kind of box. A huge one. She pushed the up side, and then she understood; she was in Alucard's coffin. And she screamed.
"ALUCARD! YOU DAMN GIT!"
He appeared next to her as a dark mist. Still in the coffin, she cursed him in all dirty words she knows, and all the while he stood there stared at her. After a moment, she stopped, for Alucard came forward and get into the coffin with Integra underneath him. She cursed again before his lips crushed hers. His hands wrapped her and his dark tendrils locked her movements as she tried to trash.
"What the he –mmph.. Alucard you bet –mmph –let me –mmph.." She tried to stop but she couldn't resist his deathly sweet –damn this fact –kisses. Then she lost it and kissed him back. She closed her eyes, enjoyed his tongue danced with hers. After several minutes passed, she managed to control the situation, and with her vampiric strength she pushed her own pet outside the coffin.
She was very thankful that she doesn't need to breathe, because if she does, she would have been panting and extremely needed air. With her left forehand she brushed her lips as if to shove off the taste of him.
"Bastard! What have you done? Are you going mad?" She hissed angrily.
He stood near her and looked at her with his best puppy eyes. Well, if you're an ancient and powerful vampire with darkness power and loves to kill things, you won't have any puppy eye, instead you just end up looked like Alucard; a beast who is longing for a feast.
"You're a vampire, Master. You should sleep properly in a coffin. And since you don't have your own coffin, I've been generous and shared you mine." He said matter of factly.
"And how would you explain about the kisses?"
"It's a complementary service, Master."
"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH!" This time her stressed groan woke the police girl up. Too late.
"What happened? It heard like Sir Integra is –" She suddenly stopped from walking in by the scene before her. She looked at her master, and then to Integra, who was still in the coffin. Blushed, she stepped backward,
"Eh.. Uh.. Sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt… Uh… Anything. Don't worry, I'll be… Upstairs. Just call me if you need something." And she ran to the stair.
"You tried your limit, servant!" She warned him and stepped out from the coffin. She was about to move to the door, when suddenly Alucard caught her hand and pulled her to his chest. Had she was a proper noble woman, she would pushed him and maybe slap him. But she didn't do either. She lifted her fist and punched him at his face as hard as she could. It threw his head backward, and again, she punched him and sent his face to his right.
"Ghe he he he… HA HA HA HA! That's my master!" He laughed maniacally, despite the fact that his broken face was bleeding. She didn't mind it and turned to the door.
"Prepare your self, Alucard. Your punishment will be something worth with what you've done." And she stopped, and turned back before she continued,
"I am Integra Wingate Hellsing. No one underestimates me." She said coolly. With that she left, only caught a low dark whisper,
"As you wish, my master."
A/N: There it is. Thanks for my reviewer; InkDeath /Alucardia, Mari Sa, and Blue Bear, and Pip x Ceras. I will try my best about the language. This time, I've asked my friend Dhanton to check on my story. If you think there still something wrong in the story, your comments are always welcomed, so review…
Hint for the next chapters; Alucard is having his punishment, and Integra and Ceras have to deal with a vampire which was a criminal from Vatican. Guess, who will come!
