GOT MY ATTENTION

With Seras seated comfortably on the top of his closed coffin and the mysterious box in front of him, Alucard couldn't help but be excited. Even if he hid it well behind an expressionless mask. Looking back and forth, between Seras and the box from behind his glasses, he couldn't help but think,

She probably knows what's in it and just chooses to keep it to herself.

Right after this thought he extended his psyche to Seras', probing her mind for any clue as to what was inside the box. Feeling her master in her mind, Seras fought hard to keep him out, her eyes turning a brilliant red with the effort. Usually her fighting him would have gotten a slight praise from Alucard, but today it just irritated him more.

"It's no time to play these little games, Police Girl. Let. Me. In," he told her, his eyes narrowed to mere ruby red slits as he glared at her from under his wild midnight hair.

"I'm not playing any games, M-master. Why do you want to get in my head? What do you want to know," Seras challenged back, her knuckles turning white from the grip she had on the lid of his coffin.

Cocking one eyebrow and putting on a seductive smirk, Alucard gracefully removed himself from his throne, swaggering his tall frame over to Seras. Positioning his hips between her thighs, he got as close as possible to her, watching her visibly jump at his contact. With one hand on each of her shoulders, Alucard pushed Seras down flat on top of his coffin, his body pressed on top of hers. Too shocked to do anything, Seras just let it happen. His head close to the side of hers, his hands on her hips, he slipped his tongue out and traced the twist of her ear before purring into it, "I want to know what's in the box." Making sure she felt the ever so soft touch of his lips.

Noticeably shaken, Seras stammered out a, "Bu-but I-I don't kn-know wha-what's inside the-the-the box, Master."

"Didn't I say 'stop these games'?"

"Really, M-master. I-I don't know."

Moving his head so he could look her straight in the eyes, Alucard asked, "Are you lying to me, Police Girl?" Even though he could tell she was too shocked to tell him even the smallest of white lies.

"No. No, Master, I'm not."

Mad at himself for not knowing that Seras really hadn't known what was in the box, and had only stayed because the mystery of it piqued her curiosity (not to mention he ordered her to), led him to lie instead.

"Good. Good than. I was just testing you, Police Girl. To see if you'd always tell me the truth under…any type of pleas…pressure…" he purred again. Nipping her ear almost playfully, teasingly, intimately, before moving from on top of her and back over to the box.

Standing there with it unmoving and daring, all he did was glare at it. Then Seras remembered the note she was to give to him. Still feeling awkward, she forced herself to address her master to bring it to his attention.

"M-master?"

"Yes, Police Girl?"

"Walter gave me this to give to you. He-he said it came…with the box, Master."

"Really? May I see it?"

Hearing the command under the question, Seras fetched the letter from somewhere on her person as Alucard, once again, swaggered over to her, one hand reaching out in front of him. Once he could easily take the envelope from her, he clamped his whole big hand around it and her hand, pulling her up off the coffin. So, with a small squeak, up Seras went, only to come tumbling down into her master's hard chest.

'She just can't keep her hands off of me,' Alucard thought to himself, chuckling at the stupidity of his "joke," as Seras slightly pushed off his chest, quickly stepping back. She then tripped over her foot in her haste to get back from her master, who caught her before she fell.

His arm securely wrapped around her waist, Alucard pulled Seras back against his chest. Seras, wide-eyed with shock, tried to push away again, but was only pulled in tighter for her efforts.

"It's for you own good, Police Girl. You would have surely hurt yourself, if it wasn't for my being here," at this statement he puffed his chest out in mock pride. "But if you insist…"

Alucard then proceeded to withdraw his arm from around Seras' back. Feeling herself fall back from the lack of pressure holding her up, Seras yelled,

"Master!"

Before she quickly grabbed hold of his shirt so as to keep herself off the floor. With that said, Alucard then replaced his arm loosely around Seras' waist before returning his attention to the envelope in his hand.

As said before, there was "Only for Alucard's eyes" neatly written across the top of the note. Thinking back, trying to remember if he knew the handwriting, Alucard growled a bit when he found he couldn't recall ever seeing handwriting like that on the envelope. So without little thought, he opened it.

Inside the envelope, there were two sheets of notebook paper. And on those papers were writing, of course. It went on and on about how this person kept whatever was in the box hidden and safe throughout the years, with much effort. And how they, the author of the notes, had made actions to make sure their people quickly and safely brought what was in the box to him, in the case that they were vanquished.

All of this, Alucard skimmed through, but two things caught his eye in the letter. One, whoever wrote this, kept calling what was in the box "them" without naming what "them" was. Second, though, was the p.s. note. It read,

P.S.

Please take care of them. And try not to hurt them.
