Chapter: 2 Hohoho?
"Alucard, as much as I hate to punish you" Yeah right, next you're going to tell me you're a natural blond. "This isn't as much a punishment as it is an attempt to save this holiday." By turning mine into a second hell? Whoopty fricking doo. "Your punishment will be to take over Santa's job, at least this Christmas." I froze for a moment, any Self-respecting Christmas-hating vampire would do so. "Is that an order, My master?" I asked as if hoping she would laugh it off. "That is an order, vampire..." Couldn't she at least have TRIED to make it look like it was a joke? With a simple nod and an "Understood, my master." I got ready to phase out of the room, then she added "One more thing, Colonel Victoria will be in charge of this assignment, I expect you to listen to her, DISMISSED" I gave a quick nod but said nothing, phasing out quickly before she could make all even worse. Only to be pounce-hugged by my police girl. Had I not expected similar childish behavior of her she might have thrown me over. "Master! I'm so glad to hear you're going to save Christmas!" Had she already forgotten I 'ruined' it in the first place? It's not as if I like to do this, That I am ordered to do this does not mean I have to be happy about it. What I did find amusing was the way Seras was hugging her petite body to mine. "Seras, I do like this position, but this is usually done naked." She Just looked up at me, then down at the non-existing space between us, went, as always, red as a tomato and quickly released me while looking the other way. "And don't even think of anything perverted, Alucard!" Came my master's loud, booming voice. Exactly the reaction I had expected from her, she always ruins my fun.
What I did not expect however is Seras taking hold of my tie and pulling me into the direction of the roof. At first I just lifted an eyebrow and coughed to tell her that I did not at all approve of her insubordinate behavior, but when she ignored those signals I pulled loose and nearly growled at her. "That's enough police girl, I know the way to the roof, besides, when did I give you permission to come along?" She smirked at me, I don't know why that felt weird, perhaps because it was very out of character. Even after the war she was still innocent as a human. "You may not have, But sir Integra did. And I even recall her saying I was to lead this mission." I think I liked police girl better when she was still weak and incompetent. We finally reached the roof, the 'Santa's' clothes still laying right where we left them. "Master! Look at this!" Police girl was all cheery, if she liked something it could only mean it did not involve blood and gore, in other words, I just knew that whatever it was would be something I could care less about. So I slowly and casually walked her way, taking my time to come to her and see what was hidden on the furthest end of the manor's roof
The sight of a large sleigh alone, standing on the roof was enough to make my eyes twitch, the fact that there were a total of eight reindeer to pull it made me wonder if I had by some cruel turn of events ended up in one of the police girls silly dreams. "Are you going to just stand there?" Great... It talked. At least now I'm sure this is indeed one of the police girl's dreams. I got dragged into those before, and there was only one way to get her to wake up, so I put my hands on her shoulders and leaned down, coaxing her to look up at me. Then I let my mouth descend to hers, as usually when I got to about halfway she would wake up... Except that it was NOT like usually, and when my lips brushed against hers and nothing happened my eyes snapped open in slight shock... If this was not a dream that meant I had just kissed my fledgling! I heard a soft gasp from her and when I pulled away I saw her flushed face, half lidded eyes and slightly parted lips, a strange feeling inside me told me to dive in and finish what I started, but my pride would not allow it, so I pushed her away making her stumble backwards and fall on her butt in the snow. I almost laughed at that.. Maybe I did laugh... a little..
"Master, That was cruel!" she cried out as her lips drew back into that cute pout, that feeling again. "You did not truly think I was going to kiss you did you police girl?" I asked mockingly as I turned to look into the sleigh and look for the presents, as to keep my divided mind occupied, "If I were an old, fat, jolly man, Where would I hide a bag of gifts?" I muttered and I could vaguely hear the sound of something shadow-shifting behind me, the next I heard was a loud thud as my police girl mauled me over the head with her Harkonnen. I was about to reprimand her but was stopped when that.. THING started to laugh. (Usually that would not stop me but since this story should stay safe for the kids I'll make an exception.) "Serves you right, you're a murderous abusive bastard." Spoke the reindeer in front, It's not like this sleigh needs eight reindeer to pull it right? Can I just kill that one? "You better shut up. Unless you want to become reindeer Sausage!" I growled,My police girl sat down in front of the beast and stroked it over the head while fingering a name tag on the critter's neck link. "Comet eh?, Is that your name?" The creature nodded his large head in the affirmative. "Police girl, get away from that thing, you don't know where it's been." Besides, the critter did not deserve the attention.
Bored and not knowing what to do I sat down on one of the red seats of the sleigh. "What now?" I asked in a bored manner, "Do I have to say some sort of magic word to get these critters to mpff." I was muffled by the ugly frilly red coat being thrown in my face. "You have to put that on Master!" she said as if it as the most normal thing in the world, one thing I know, the entire Hellsing staff will hear it when I get my payback on her after this 'mission'. I did what she told though, my master ordered me to listen to her after all. "And now? I say "ho ho ho" and these beasts will start to pull the sleigh?" She giggled and stood in front of me, handing me the reins. "No master, Santa always says 'Go Dasher, Go Dancer! Go Prancer, Vixen, Comet and Cupid, Go Donner and Blitzen!' " She had not finished this absurd line or we were searing through the sky at a high rate, the suddenness of the start made her lose balance, luckily for me when she decided to land on me, my face was met with two soft, rather comfortable cushions. I did not get to enjoy the feeling for long as she quickly pushed herself away from me. I don't know why she was so ashamed and shy while everything pointed to her wanting to be with me. She not talk to me the rest of the ride, that was until she found a package. "Master! Look this package has my name on it!" Police girl chirped and almost simultaneously the sound of paper being shredded was heard. When I looked back at her she was holding a small green folded piece of clothing and staring at it, still wondering what the thing was.
"Perhaps you should try it on, Police girl." I said, already knowing what it would be, I certainly did not expect the answer "Fine, would you please turn around?" Which she did happen to give. I turned around, It's not like I haven't seen her without clothing before, SOMEONE had to get her out of her bloodied police uniform the night at cheddar, isn't it? Besides, ever heard of the saying "Having eyes in the back of your head" ? It worked for me, literally. I had to admit my master Integra has good taste, The little Christmas elf attire Seras found herself in was definitely worth seeing. Of course police girl blushed forty-two different shades of red, but after I told her it brought me in the "Christmas spirit" she smiled and decided to keep it on.
So far playing "Santa Clause" did not seem too bad, Despite the strange flying sleigh and the soon-to-be-sausage talking reindeer, I had no idea back then.
