Disclaimer: No person in their right mind would ever mix a story they actually owned with a different story. Of course, we're not exactly in our right minds, but I'm sure insane people can't hold down that kind of job.

Saku-Chan: FINALLY we get a chance to write Ch. 2. Okay, some notes:

Please, please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE review! I know that PotO/Hellsing is a little unorthodox and not many people read it all the way through, but if you do finish even one chapter, say something. Even if you say we suck (though it'd be nice if you told us why.)

This will update slow, because it's a collaboration fic. We both need to be there to write it (or else it becomes a completely different writing style from the other chapters), and our schedules hate each other. Sooo... sorry bout that. If you care.

LastXWords: I certainly hope they care. I mean, why even bother reading the second chapter if they hated the first?

Saku-Chan: Insane boredom. People do all sorts of crazy things when they're bored enough.

LastXWords: I should know about being bored enough. Latin was such a bore.

Saku-Chan: Ugh, Latin II... I'll shoot the Harkonnen at you, and there'll be a pit of stakes behind me for when the recoil sends me flying. :-D Anyway, so Christine has been kidnapped (woohoo), Alucard has taken her directly to Hellsing, so Integra doesn't know, and Erik has no idea WTF happened.

Onward!

Chapter 2

Raoul regained consciousness a few hours later, his head throbbing. He tried to remember why he was lying on Christine's dressing room floor, but his mind turned up a blank. He looked around for Christine, but she didn't seem to be around. He stood up and walked out of the room, hoping to find where Christine had gone.

-

"I'm telling you, Christine wasn't there."

Raoul was on the stage, trying to tell Firman and Andre what had happened the previous night, but they didn't seem to believe him.

It had taken him awhile to remember what exactly had happened. When he could properly recall the rather unfortunate events, he decided to tell the owners what had happened in the hopes that they would have some idea of what to do. Unfortunately, the fact that the kidnapper had appeared out of a swirling black abyss made them somewhat... incredulous.

"What do you mean?" Andre demanded, "How could she not be there?"

"When I woke up, I was lying on the floor and she was missing." Raoul couldn't see what was so difficult about this.

"Just missing?" Firman crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Yes, missing." Raoul sighed, "I remember a man came through her mirror and took her, but I don't know where to."

"I guess we'll have to alert the authorities." Raoul could tell that Firman didn't really want to let the police know about the kidnapping of an opera singer, but something had to be done. And fast.

"What will we tell them?" Andre looked at his partner.

"The truth." Raoul didn't see how they could tell them anything but the truth, no matter how unorthodox it sounded.

"We'll tell them that Christine was kidnapped and we'll leave it at that." Firman nodded.

Erik was sitting at his desk, thinking. He had heard about Christine Daaè's kidnapping. But who was the mysterious man? And what did he want with Christine? Furious, Erik stood up and started pacing. He knew that he would have to get her back. The opera house was a mess without her. But how could he find her? She could be anywhere. Erik sighed and stopped pacing. Maybe the play the previous night had something to do with her abduction. Could a member of the audience be behind it?

Integra and Seras were getting ready to go back to London. Seras was in her room packing up the remainder of her clothes. She put the frilly dress in a bag, so it wouldn't touch any other item of clothing. She had the full intention of burning the horrid dress when she got back to London.

Seras lugged her suitcase out of the bedroom and joined Integra in the living room. "When does our flight leave?"

"At 11."

"And what time is it now?"

"Almost 9."

"We could get a spot of breakfast." Seras leaned against the wall. "Is Master supposed to call you when he gets to London?"

Integra shook her head, still looking out the window. People were getting ready to go to work, the children to school. Dogs were running in the street; some on leashes, some not. Street venders were selling people food such as hot dogs and crumpets.

"I guess we'll have to call Walter when we get back to London, huh?" Seras said.

"He will be waiting for us." Integra turned away from the window, bored.

When Christine awoke, she found herself in a strange room. It was a rather depressing room. The walls were a bleak shade of grey that matched the floor. There was a circular table against one wall along with a cabinet. In a chair by the cabinet was the man who had kidnapped her. He was in a new outfit than the one she had seen him in last. This time, he was wearing a red cloak with a matching red hat. Sunglasses hid his eyes from any light in the room. Christine happened to notice that he was cleaning a gun.

"Who are you?"

"I don't think it's of any importance, but you may call me Alucard." He grinned maliciously.

"And where am I?" Christine leaned against the headboard. "This isn't Paris, is it?"

"This is Hellsing Headquarters in London." Alucard said, putting the magazine back in the Jakal. "I can't tell you anything more than that."

"I demand that you take me back to Paris this instant." Christine didn't like the idea of staying in London. She wanted to be with Raoul in Paris.

Alucard smiled and said, "That won't be happening."

"And why ever not?" Christine demanded.

"I have the full intention of keeping you right here." Alucard examined a bullet closely between his thumb and index finger on his right hand.

"What do you want with me?" Christine didn't like this man and whatever his plan was. "I'm just a chorus girl. Just an actress in opera."

"Exactly my point." Alucard nodded once. "Stay right here. I must see if Sir Integra has returned."

He left the room, leaving Christine quite alone.

"I wonder why Master wanted to leave early?" Seras followed Integra into her office, which was cluttered with papers that had arrived during her vacation.

"Alucard has his own reasons for what he does. I can only hope I didn't make a mistake by allowing it."

"You can't think Master has done someng foolish?"

"I hope not." Integra sat down at her desk and faced the other vampire. "It would not be the first time, however."

"Master doesn't do many foolish things, though." Seras thought.

"He wasn't supposed to change you, for one." Integra pointed out.

"Ah, I forgot about that." Seras crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Walter stepped through the door and walked into the office. He looked somewhat nervous and anxious at the same time.

"What is it, Walter?" Integra faced the older man.

"I have news for you, Sir Integra." Walter bowed once in greeting.

"And what is it?" Integra kept her gaze.

"Master Alucard has returned…" Walter seemed to trail off.

"And what else?" Integra was somewhat confused by Walter's actions.

"Did something bad happen?" Seras was hoping that nothing had happened to Alucard.

"He has brought back a French girl." Walter concluded. "A girl from the opera house."

LastXWords: It's Mika-chan! I'm writing this half by myself here, since Saku-chan can't be here with me. So I'll take this time to write out my author's notes.

I know that not a lot of people find this interesting, but if you do, please tell us. I know that Saku-chan likes reviews as much as I do and we would like to know what people think. It's been a while since we've updated, but our schedules hate us and when we do see each other, we forget to work on the story. In any case, updates will be slow, but we will work on this. I, for one, do not want to end this story.

Having said all that, I will turn the tide over to Sakura Neko-chan 13. Take it away, Saku-chan!

Saku-Chan: Right! I edited I will be writing the next chappie... hopefully, we can work this out. I was hoping LastXWords (Mika-Chan) and I could meet up and do the other chapters the way we did the first one, but that doesn't work out from 1.5 hours away... so yeah. Hope you like Mika-Chan's chapter, and the one I'll (hopefully) put up soon!
