The Blessing Curse
Chapter 2: Proving Oneself.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing nor do I own Inuyasha
Hey you guys! I'm back from about 5 secs.
Here it is. Please tell me if I did good or not, cause I'm really nervous, this is my first fanfic. XD
Where the hell is he? He should be here by now. Annoying me and harassing me for hunting trips. Get a hold of yourself Integra! You actually want Alucard to annoy you? You should be grateful that he isn't here and that you can concentrate on your work rather than being annoyed out of your brains by him!
Walter chuckled at the paranoid Integra sitting in front of him sipping his special caramel tea. He too had started wondering where the old vampire was, after all what else would he want to be doing rather than annoy his dear master out of the simple reason of being bored. Seras was out on a mission with the Wild Geese, so she wouldn't be the one entertaining the vampire. Perhaps he has found a conventional way to entertain himself.
"Alucard!" Her well-practiced bellow rang throughout the mansion vibrating the glass on the windows and wardrobes.
"Ah! That will be the Master calling me." The old vampire said, as his ears rang, with the sheer force of the yell.
"Should I come too, Master?" asked the young girl still sitting in his coffin, also getting ready to stand up as her Master prepared to leave the room.
"No, No... Actually, it would be a good idea if you would. Come on, that means that we'll have to walk there." And with that the master vampire helped his little fledgling out of his coffin and together they started walking to Integra's office.
"Now remember, call her 'Sir' at all times."
"Why does she like to be called Sir when she's a girl?"
"Frankly I don't know, but she also likes to wear men's clothing too." Smiling as his fledgling tried to stifle a giggle.
"How long have you known her Master?"
"For... about 10 years if I remember correctly."
"Wow... how old are you?"
"Around 600 my dear, you know you ask a lot of questions for a fledgling..."
"Really, is that bad?"
"No, I just find it mildly amusing that you are quite bold. Unlike my other fledgling, whenever I come near her she squeaks like a frightened little girl and gets all nervous."
"I wouldn't be surprised..."
"Yes, well you seem to be not that shy, I simply want to know why that is, then I can probably train my other fledgling to be more like you."
"I don't think you can train her, see this is what you get from hanging around youkais for too long. You learn to deal with their bad tempers and their little rage tantrums."
"Tell me what are these youkais you speak of like?"
"Well, some of them are really nice, some are just weird, some are loners and others backstabbers." His eyebrows flew up in surprise.
"Really, what an interesting lot."
"Um-hm, but they're really nice though."
"Even the backstabber?"
"Uh... Not him, considering that he has tried to kill all of us quite a number of times..."
At that he laughed hysterically, his tall frame bent over in the attempt to free all of his laughter from his mouth. His laughter bounced of the walls echoing throughout the corridors. That laughter proved to be very infectious as soon the fledgling was bending over clutching her stomach in an attempt to tame her laughter. It was quite a duet, the rough maniacal laughter that accompanied with the high innocent, yet chilling giggling gave quite the effect, freezing the occupants of the manor to the bone, with the thoughts of what could have caused the Undead King to laugh so hysterically and where the frightening giggling came from.
"What was that?" Integra said tensing as she heard the strange melody hum within the room.
"It seems that Alucard is laughing, Sir." Walter said calmly, completely unfazed by the laughter.
He did seem shocked though when he saw the vampire couple walk into the room, obviously still shaking from laughter. He tried to hide his shock when he saw that the girl behind Alucard was not Seras, but a Japanese girl, in her school uniform. She had pale skin, her cheeks pink from laughing too hard and her eyes squeezed shut, but he swore he saw a flicker of red when he say her eyelids flutter.
"Servant, what is the meaning of this?" growled Integra before the vampires could take another step in her office.
"Nothing Master, just a little bonding between a fledgling and her sire." As the vampiress beside him giggled.
"And who is this?" pointing her eyes at the pale girl who stood beside her sire grinning at the long gone joke.
"Higurashi Kagome, Sir Integra."
"How do you do, Sir?" The girl asked in a silky voice, flashing her pearly fangs in a dashing smile, ruby eyes sparkling with amusement and bloody tears that threatened to spill from her laughter.
"Quite well, what I do want to know is why you have been siring so many fledglings without my notice." Glaring at the Master vampire with intensity that could freeze magma.
"Well the girl was dying after all I couldn't just let her die now could I?"
"That was Seras, what's you're excuse with this one?"
"I was unconscious to tell the truth..." the girl mumbled not looking at her.
"Under what circumstances?" Eyebrows rising.
"Actually, if Master didn't take me out there, I probably would be dead by now."
"Oh? And where were you 'unconscious'?"
"Outside a forest infested by youkai, actually. I'm a young woman in the world, and surely you know how vulnerable we can be." Smiling sweetly with mischief glowing in her blood red eyes.
"Youkai? I believe I've never heard of those before..."
"Demons, so to speak, Sir. They were very common from where I came from."
"'From where you came from'?" Quirking an eyebrow at her sire for more elaboration. Her suspicion grew as he was staring at the floor shifting his weight awkwardly. "Alucard..." she growled.
"Well, you see it started when I..." His Master's freezing glare froze his lips and sense told him to get to the point if he didn't want his head filled with silver bullets.
"Iwentintotheroomyoutoldmenottogointoandthenmessedwiththepanelthenisawkagomeunconscioussothenitookherbackandsiredher..." mumbled the vampire.
"Excuse me? Can you say that so that we normal people can understand you?" Said his master after the rest of the residents of the rooms gawked at his obvious discomfort. Who would've thought that what the Undead King truly feared was the Ice Queen?
"I went into the room with the funny machine in it, the one next to my room, and played with the control panel until the portal thingy opened. Then I stepped through it and found Kagome, where she was lying unconscious and so then I took her back to the mansion, through the portal, and then I changed her then I put her in my coffin. Then I was talking to her until you called us."
"And did you explain her whole situation to her, fully?"
"Not really. Kinda..."
"So what do you know about the Hellsing Organization?" turning her attention on the young fledgling.
"Not much really. Just that you are my Master's Master and that you caught him and tamed him about 500 years ago."
"I wouldn't really call it taming..." mumbled her Master uneasily.
"Well that's what it sounds like you know," retorted the fledgling boldly.
"Well its good that you took on a fledgling that isn't as jumpy as a little rabbit. At least this one will most likely be more suitable for the Organization." Looking approvingly at the young vampire.
"'More suitable for the Organization'? You are going to bring me back to where I came from right?" Asked the girl suspiciously.
"Only if you can beat me." Told her Master confidently.
"Really? Can I get a bow and arrows to fight you then?"
"Sure. Here." Answered her sire, waving his hand and materialising a dark bow and arrows.
"Thanks. When do you want to start?" She prodded her sire after picking up her weapons, oddly enough the bow and arrows started to turn white under her touch, like they were suddenly filled with light.
"Damn. IT seems like my purifying power is still there. Oh well." Said the girl in response to the reaction, while the rest of the occupants stared at her newly white bow and arrows.
"Now this is a fledgling I've gotta keep!" laughed her sire congratulating her.
"Sorry about your bow and arrows Master, but can we have the match now, I think my friends will be quite concerned if I don't get back anytime soon."
"Yes, but if you beat me, I'll let you become a full Nosferatu and train you for a while, then I'll let you go back home if after your training you can beat me in my full power."
"Sure, where do you wanna do it?"
"Why not out at the back under the beautiful moon." And with that he picked up his fledgling and started to walk towards the window, as she started to speak in protest.
Once they were outside, they started to move a few meters apart and started to face each other and started to take their positions. The elder vampire's laughter could be heard echoing throughout the mansion as the girl pointed the arrow at him.
"You'll never beat me with..." but his sentence was cut short as the girl released her arrow, hitting him in the middle of his chest. The effect was astounding as the arrow faintly glowed after impact and the flesh around the arrow started to disintegrate into emptiness as the master gaped at the large hole he now had on his chest, staring at the girl who was already firing another arrow. This arrow had more force and was too fast for the Sire to dodge and he was pinned on the tree from the base of his neck. It was quite an odd sight as Alucard stayed there paralysed from the neck down.
"What did you do to me?" he screamed at the vampire who was calmly walking closer to him.
"Why nothing Master, just fighting you with my abilities," answered the vampire innocently, mischief and satisfaction radiating in her ruby eyes.
"'Abilities'?" inquired her sire quirking his eyebrow in fascination, annoyance and interest.
"Why Master, why didn't you find out more about my abilities before you changed me." Angelically looking up at her sire, still pinned to the tree.
"Just tell me girl and help me down from this tree before I shoot you." He growled starting to lose his patience with the boldness of her words.
"Alright." Shrugging, she reached up to touch the arrow and at her touch it vanished and the Nosferatu fell limply from the tree.
"Ouch. What was that?"
"My ability Master."
"I think we would all like to know about you 'ability'." Said Integra crossly walking towards the pair.
"Well, I somehow manage to purify everything that I touch. That's including my arrows. That's probably why it turned white and I can beat you so easily, seeing that you're full of dark energy." Eyeing her Master smugly.
Everyone's eyebrows shot up, disappearing into their hairlines.
"Well, this is another ironic fledgling. You seem to have a taste for ironicity Alucard, seeing that your life is ruled by it anyway."
"Yes, well this is interesting..." frowning at his fledgling's unforseen ability.
"My question is will she be able to kill ghouls."
"Ghouls?" Asked a very confused and exuberant vampiress.
"Undead beings that have the unluckiness of being bitten by a vampire. This results in them being mindless with strength and bloodlust and only answers to the vampire who bit them."
"Like zombies?"
"Yes, expect stronger and usually with guns."
"Oh..."
"Scared?" smirking at the fledgling who was staring at her feet.
"No, you don't get scared that often when you've had youkais try to kill you practically everyday for the past year. I'm just thinking really about what my friends and my family will think of e once they found out you made me into a vampire. As if I wasn't much a freak before..."
"Oh, well why don't we find out?"
"Now?"
"Yes, Alucard take the girl to Seras's mission."
"My name's Kagome by the way."
"Come on!" said the vampire giddy with the thought of blasting ghouls.
"All right. We teleporting there?"
"Yeah, let's teleport right next to Seras, so that we'll scare her, so get your bow ready." Said the mischievously plotting master.
"All right." Matching her master's grin while drawing her bow once more.
And with that the pair was gone.
"Well that was certainly interesting, wasn't it Sir Integra?" asked Walter at the now shocked and surprised Integra.
"Yes, but it was better than sitting behind a desk all the time." Still quite shocked at the close bond the two vampires could form so quickly. Already you could see the similarities.
Still quite amused at the sight of her once most powerful servant with a hole in his chest and being paralysed from the neck down just with two arrows, she reluctantly went back to her study to finish the paperwork which seemed to flood her office everyday.
Don't worry, Inuyuasha and Sesshoumaru are going to come in later on. This is just the beginning. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
