Chapter 28

Royal Tea

Mitt: Hi people! Long time no see... Uh... Write... Whatever!

Anyway! For the royals in England, I won't be using the real names of the Princes and Lady, because I don't want to offend anyone...

They will be given names and it will be explained which position they supposedly has.

Please don't be offended if the royals are perverts and bitches in this!

I do not own anything but the plot, Sapphire and Ruby... And some other cool stuff...

"Why do I need to prepare?" Kagome asked standing her ground, making it impossible for Walter to drag her out of the room.

"The Queen has requested your presence at the Ball tonight, and we must find a dress for you!"

"A dress? Why can't I just do this?"

Clicking her fingers, using her powers to make a dress for herself. Soon enough she was standing there looking like the envision of beauty itself.

Her dress was a simple halter neck, the soft silk form-fitting around her torso and loosening around the waist, pooling around her feet, clad in black high heels. The dress was a blue-black colour, and had silver and blue embroidery adorning the hem and across her stomach, featuring roses and crescent moons. Her hair was pulled up in a messy bun, pearls stringed in her raven tresses, with ringlets falling around her face. On her wrist was a silver bracelet, a plain fine chain with charms of turquoise crescent moons going around it every 4 alternate links.

On her left finger ring was a intricately moulded thin silver band of a vine with roses. At the middle, as the centrepiece was a crescent moon ensnared in the silver vines, a gift from Sesshoumaru, before they parted.

It took all of Walter's pride and dignity not to stare and drool at the sight of the lavishing young woman that now stood before him... Actually it took everyone's pride and dignity not to drool, but stare they did. It was also the overhanging threat that if any of them tried anything, Alucard would rip them to pieces and so would Kagome.

"What? Too much?" Kagome asked, unsure of how to interpret the stares that she was getting.

"No! This material, it's so beautiful..." Seras exclaimed coming up to Kagome.

"Thank you! This is shadow silk." Kagome giggled, happy that at least she would have a girl as a friend here.

"Ah, yes. Well then come along, or we shall be late for the ball. Are you going to keep your tail and wings out Kagome?" Integra stated.

"Yes... A reminder for the blasted Queen that I am not human." Kagome grinned, elongating her fangs to their maximum length. "What about Father and Seras?"

"They'll be staying at headquarters."

And with that Integra, Walter and Kagome left.

At the Ball...

"Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing and her butler Walter Dolneaz." The man proclaimed, stating the names of the guests.

Heads swivelled around to see the renowned Hellsing leader and the Queen chuckled softly as she saw Integra walk down the steps in her normal suit, followed closely by her faithful butler.

"Princess Kagome Higurashi Tepes!" The proclaimer uncertainly shouted.

Shocked gasps rippled throughout the room as the lords and ladies drank in the sight of the beautiful vampiress that stood atop the grand stairs in all her glory. Wings half drawn and her tail slung atop her shoulder.

The Queen sat straighter in her throne and her youngest grandson stiffened beside her as he watched his soon to-be-betrothed walk towards the throne. All males throwing lustful glances at her.

"Your Majesty." Kagome murmured, gracefully sinking into a deep curtsy.

"What a beauty you are to behold, vampiress." The Queen answered approvingly.

"None, which matches my Queen's."

"What a lovely one you are! Come, you must have tea with us." The Queen invited, standing up and beckoning the rest of the royal family to do so too.

"It would be an honour, your Majesty." Kagome sweetly answered, obediently following the Queen to a table out in the rose gardens.

Taking a seat on the left of the Queen's, only to be rewarded with the youngest Prince sitting next to her, lust and anticipation, clouding the air around him, making the vampire nauseas.

The eldest Prince wasn't helping wither, sitting opposite her and staring at her lustfully and screaming lewd thoughts at her, as his fantasies in his head grew more and more pronounced and more perverted. It took all of Kagome's control not to slap him hard on the face.

But obviously, her control was slipping as the shadows around her grew restless and her eyes started to shine even more.

"So tell us Kagome, How was it that you were changed?" The Queen asked, breaking the tense silence and ignoring the sexual tension enveloping the group.

"Well, you Highness, my friends and I were hiking at the mountains when a rabid bear forced us to separate. Unfortunately the bear went after me and it almost killed me, thankfully Alucard somehow heard my cry and he chased away the bear, but I was too close to death and so he did the one thing that he could to save me. He changed me to a vampire." Kagome answered, faking discomfort and pain. Flashing her fangs in an uncertain smile, reminding them of what they were dealing with. Thankfully the Queen and the Princes swallowed the tale willingly, and looked at her with sympathy, it was better that they thought that she was insecure, rather than the strong and confident vampiress she was.

She had to make sure that the story flew though, so she mentally relayed the story to Walter and Integra to make sure that they used the same story she did.

She wasn't about to tell the Highnesses about her history, she wasn't that naïve that she didn't know what an interrogation was.

"That's awful!" The Prince exclaimed, concern filtering his voice, too bad it was fake. It contrasted so greatly with his lust and smugness, which radiated from him like a sound and was so strong that Kagome had to hold her breath.

"Yes it was, but its all good now, as I have Father with me..." Kagome murmured, clutching her skirt in her fists, a perfect picture of discomfort. In truth her discomfort was bordering on disgust as the two Princes started to lean in.

"Your Father is here?" The Queen asked, her eyebrows raised. "And pray tell who is he?"

"Why... Alucard of course! He gave me life again, so I call him Father." Kagome giggled, discomfort and disgust evaporating as the Royals reeled back with shock. Obviously not expecting the young vampiress to have a close relationship with her Sire.

"But do you not have to call him Master?" Prince Carl sneered savagely (His position is prince Charles in the real world).

"Master? Why?" Kagome asked faking innocence, though clearly hearing the disgust and mocking undercurrent tone in his voice.

"Are you not his fledgling Kagome?" the Queen asked, greed glinting in her eyes.

"No, I drank his blood accidentally after only the first day."

"Then you are wandering?" Prince James (His position is Prince William in real life) purred. Trying to bag the vampiress for himself, not at all deterred by the thought of Kagome drinking blood.

"No! Of course not! I am staying with Father and Sir Integra. I decided that I wanted to help them with the Major."

"Then? What will you do after the war?" The Queen pressed, inwardly proud of her grandsons who were showing such great interest in the vampiress, among them.

"I shall be going back to Japan." Kagome answered simply.

"Japan? Why not stay here?" Prince Henry (This is Prince Harry) asked, not wanting to loose his betrothed-to-be to his older brother.

"Because I promised someone that I will return after this war." Kagome said evasively, still very aware that there were two Princes vying to be her future husband and a conniving old woman out to use her for protecting the royal Family.
