"Alucard?" asked Casanova as he emerged from the shadows." I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?" He grinned.

"Don't give me that!" shouted Alucard as he strode over to Casanova." I still hate you after what happened!" He grabbed Casanova by the shirt.

"Don't fight guys!" said Hizashi." What the hell are you talking about, Alucard?"

"Yes, Alucard," said Casanova," why don't we tell her?"

Alucard looked at Hizashi and Casanova. He was going to have to tell her anyway, better to do it now while he had Casanova to help him tell and to explain what happened afterwards. He released Casanova and sighed.

"Fine." he said, resigned.

He and Casanova began to relate their story to Hizashi.

Flashback: Two Hundred Years Ago- Late 1700s

"Why must you antagonize Alucard constantly, Cass?" asked Faust in an annoyed voice. He looked like his daughter Hizashi would if she were a guy, or rather Hizashi looked like he did if he were a girl. The same short black hair, lean build, and different colored eyes. He just had slightly paler skin. At this point he had not met his future wife Amania. That would not happen for another century and a half.

"Because it is just so much fun to tease Al." replied Casanova with a grin. He was the exact same as he would be when Hizashi met him a couple centuries later. He and Faust were standing in the corner of a grand ballroom during a royal party. They were joined by their friends Collin and Thomas. Collin was, in a few words, a short, pudgy, pervert. He was the type of guy who was more likely to get smacked by a girl than seduce them like Casanova. He had light brown hair and dark eyes. Thomas was an also short, tough guy. He had dark brown hair, emerald green eyes, and a pretty thin build. He and Collin were about 5 foot 10. They were all wearing formal attire, and they were all secretly vampires.

"Hey, Cassie," said Collin," Why are we here again?"

"I told you not to call me that, you short, pudgy moron!" said Casanova in a low voice, the seething anger coming through loud and clear." We are here simply to scope out whether or not there is danger in staying here longer. The village priest may be old, but as far as I know he is far from senile."

"And you think he may have realized that while we may be outstanding citizens, we are lousy churchgoers, and he might suspect us of being inhuman. Correct?" said Faust. He was always the rational diligent one. Not a womanizer, pervert, or fight obesessed moron like Casanova, Collin, and Thomas, respectively, it was his duty to keep them in check and keep their "coven" safe and protected. Which was why he had agreed with Casanova that coming to this party, where the priest was supposed to make an announcement, was a good idea. They needed to know if they, including Alucard, needed to skip town or not. The church always made life more difficult for them.

"Exactly." said Casanova." Now it's time to shut the hell up. The priest is making his announcement." He spotted Alucard rushing over to them, his girlfriend, Amy, holding his hand and rushing right alongside him. She was beautiful in her pale blue ball gown, which perfectly complemented her light skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. Casanova had flirted with her before she started dating Alucard. Naturally she had no idea about their true nature. Alucard back then looked exactly as he would when he met Hizashi years later, except for his unextraordinary outfit. He was able to pick up on other people's thoughts when he really concentrated, and the look on his face warned Casanova that they were going to have to run for it.

The village priest had, meanwhile, begun a long speech about how vampires, werewolves, witches, and the like were allied with the Devil, how they had no right to exist. He pointed out that there were some amongst the people before dramatically pointing over to Alucard and the others, Amy included. All of the men drew their swords, the women screamed, and the priest condemned them to all burn in hell. Alucard was prepared to defend Amy, since she obviously was innocent of this whole ordeal, and Thomas was right alongside him. Collin and Faust grabbed Thomas, though, before he could even begin to fight. As the people charged at them, Casanova dragged a struggling Alucard away, running after Thomas, Collin, and Faust. As Alucard was being dragged away, he could easily hear Amy's screams as the villagers, assuming that she was a vampire, killed her. A few seconds passed before they were out of hearing range.

"Wait!" shouted Alucard, as Casanova continued to drag him along." I have to save Amy! Let me go!"

"No," was Casanova's only reply.

"Then you should have atleast grabbed her and ran instead of me!"

"What good would that have done?" shouted Casanova as he stopped. They were miles away from any village. He still held onto Alucard, knowing full well that if he were to let go, Alucard would run back to try to help Amy." She wasn't a vampire. There was no way you would have allowed us to change her into a vampire, and a human would have just slowed us down, which is the last thing we need right now!"

"I still could have saved her!"

"No, you couldn't, and you can't. You heard those screams. She's dead by now for sure." Casanova had started walking again, dragging a depressed Alucard behind him.

Two Years Before Hizashi's Birth

"What?!" shouted Casanova. His clothes had changed to a simple t-shirt and jeans. He was sitting by a lake with Faust while Thomas and Collin had an underwater fight.

"I said that I am leaving." replied Faust calmly, the grin of an idiot in love clearly plastered across his face. Casanova still had to ask, though.

"Why?"

"I've met someone. Her name is Amania, and she is the most beautiful woman I have ever met. She's kind, gentle, and just absolutely wonderful."

"How do you think she'll take to you being a vampire, though?" asked Casanova, a futile last ditch effort to keep Faust from leaving.

"She reacted quite well when I told her. She just said,' Who cares?'" He laughed as he said that last part.

"Fine," said Casanova, resigning to this fate." We've made do without Alucard and we can make do without you, too." Casanova walked off with a sad look upon his face, leaving Faust upset as well.

Ten Years Ago- The Day After Hizashi Met The Akatsuki

"Where could that child have gone?" said Casanova as he ran through a forest not far from the Akatsuki base. He had arrived there after hearing about Faust and Amania's deaths. He knew that the church was obviously behind it. He had also heard that they had had a child, but no one was sure whether or not the child survived merely because of the violent snowstorm that had raged night Faust was killed. For all he knew the child was frozen somewhere

After a month he finally gave up and left, only returning the night he met Hizashi.

Present

"Who would have guessed that I would meet you just on a street in the middle of the night?" said Casanova as he finished the story. Alucard had allowed him to explain all that had happened after he left." I had always assumed you were dead."

"What about Thomas and Collin?" asked Hizashi.

"They are somewhere around here." said Casanova." Just not here."

Alucard took this opportunity to interrupt." We have to go. The Akatsuki will be getting worried."

"True." said Hizashi." Thank you, Casanova." Then she and Alucard left.

Thanks to powerdown for both helping me with the chapter( very minorly though) and also for letting me use him as an inspiration for the vampire Collin. Thanks to my friend who was (unwittingly) the inspiration for the vampire Thomas. Thanks also to anyone reading this. What will happen next chapter? Not even I, the writer, know where the heck this story will go.
