Embrace Your True Nature

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters you recognize, if I did own Alucard, oh the things I would do. It might include chains, a coffin, and no, I am not a necrophiliac, well, at least not most of the time. HeHe.

A/N: I finally got back into the writing mood, this is the bridge for the ending of the story, which might be in like a few chapters. I like fluff, what can I say, R&R

Chapter Four: Kindness and Punishment

Seras kneeled on the floor of the kitchen, her eyes glittering with tears, she staggered to her feet and swiftly leveled her gun once more at her boyfriend. She was shaking, she hadn't kept blood down for nearly eight days, Walter had been too busy to watch her all the time. Anne watched her 'sister' with horror, she backed up into the door.

Michael frowned, "What's wrong with you, what happened to you!"

Seras struggled to control her bloodlust, "What are you!"

Don took a step forward, reaching a hand out to touch the young vampire, "Seras, are you okay?"

She gave a soft growl, "Don't touch me!"

Her father put a hand on her shoulder and tried to calm her, "Darling, where have you been, I thought I lost you."

Michael stepped forward, his scent invading her nostrils, "Victoria, you've been alive, this whole time, and you didn't contact me. I love you, and this is how you repay me!"

His angered remarks were forgotten as he rushed her and began shaking her violently, she was getting too weak to even defend herself. In the background she could barely hear Anne screaming for them to stop. The door burst inward, a maniacal laugh brought everything to a crashing halt.

"Police Girl! You see what happens when you misbehave?"

That voice, it made her look up, shock evident in her golden eyes, "M-Master?"

Michael had had enough of these freaks, he turned on the tall dark man, "Who the hell are you!"

His laughter increased, "I am…the devil!"

The interrogator's eye twitched, "Yeah, well I'm her boyfriend, so I think you had better leave before something happens."

Alucard smirked and snorted, "What, you think that switchblade in your pocket is going to do you a lot of good. Integral is going to be very angry when we get back, I thought you had learned, perhaps another lesson is in order."

Seras quivered on the floor all she could do was whimper. Michael tried to punch her master and he was unceremoniously thrown to the floor, Don stepped forward as if to shield his sister, "You can't take her away, she's my sister!"

Alucard laughed dismissively, "Police Girl, I never knew you had such loyal family members. But it doesn't change anything, Seras."

Seras squeezed her eyes shut, "Y-yes."

"Oh, don't be so glum," Alucard smiled showing too many teeth, "We are at war, and Walter is bound to invent some wonderful weapons. Your punishment however, oh yes, that shall be interesting."

He said no more, but scooped the helpless vampire into his arms and walked out of the house. He stepped easily into a waiting car, nestling the weakened woman into his arms. He looked sadly down on her, pushed her suitcase over to the next seat, and watched as she moved in and out of consciousness.

Walter looked in the rearview mirror, in all his years with the Hellsing family, he had never seen Alucard take to any creature quite like this one. He smiled his own secret little smile that said he knew more than he was saying, as well as hinted at darkness. He drove expertly, checking to see if they were being tailed every so often. At last he pulled into a dark garage, he turned around to nod to the master vampire who looked almost docile while holding a limp blonde. Said vampire swept majestically from the car and garage, no doubt headed to the dungeon and his domain.

Alucard gently placed the body in his coffin, he pulled a chair up next to it, he watched, waiting for some sign of life, or unlife. It might have been minutes, or hours, but at long last a gentle moaning came form the nosferatu king's resting place. There, inside, the abstaining vampire writhed in her near awakened state. With a gasp she sat straight up, she nearly screamed with shock as she saw the figure hovering over her.

"Master, what are you doing in my room?" Seras asked.

Alucard suppressed his laughter, "Police Girl, this is my room, so I can be in here."

She looked up innocently at her master, "I don't understand, why aren't I in my room?"

Full-throated laughter met her question, she looked a little chagrined at this response, he sobered after a moment and looked at her with mock seriousness, it was not as if she could tell the difference, "Your punishment."

Her eyes fell, hiding her growing confusion, his cryptic answers only fueling it, "Oh."

"From now on, you are not to leave my sight, understand. That means you are to sleep in my room," all the delicious possibilities passed through the elder vampires mind as he listened intently to her nervous noises as she began to realize the implications of such a punishment.

Seras tried desperately to mask her alarm; she stepped delicately out of the coffin and stood up, "I'm going to take a shower."

She marched out of the room without a clue as to what she had just done; she missed the laughter as she nearly jogged down the hall towards her room. She was just so desperate to be alone, so that she could begin to process what had happened. She turned the water on and locked the bathroom door, she began to strip, the need to remove the day from her skin increasing with each passing moment. She turned to get a towel and her eyes widened in horror at the scene before her.

She stood naked while he leaned easily against the still locked door, she silently cursed his powers to phase through walls. Her fury at his presence took a jump, "What are you doing in here," she hissed at her elder.

Alucard composed his face in a look of innocence while a third eye took in the supple figure of the virgin before him, "What do you mean Seras?"

She growled with anger at his faked ignorance, "What are you doing in my bathroom!"

"I believe that should have been obvious, you are to always be in my sight. You shouldn't be angry at me, if anything, you should be angered with yourself, if you hadn't been being so stupid, you wouldn't be in this situation."

Seras so no way to argue without getting even more punishments, besides, she wasn't exactly feeling her full confidence as she was the one standing naked before him. Sighing she stepped into the shower and gave a little yelp, she tried to ignore him as she sang loudly in her head. She washed as quickly as she could and snaked a hand out to grab her towel.

The only problem with that was, some mischievous person had removed all the towels and was presently sitting on them.

Hope that was longer for you all, I want to thank everyone for their reviews and encouragement. As well as sticking with me even though I got a bad case of writers block, I solved it this morning by watching Hellsing, and reading a few of the earlier manga. By the end of this fic, we will solve the mystery of not so normal Michael, and have some more fluffy scenes with our two favorite Vamps. Please read and review!
