Names

"But Master! They're your own children. Your daughters! Your own flesh and blood."

"And how do we know that Police Girl? Hm? We don't. Their…'Mother' (I'm guessing)"- he was granted answer as the two Draculinas nodded. So with a slight nod of his own he continued.-"could just be trying to use them to get to me. Really Police Girl. How could we know I'm their biological father?"

"Are you freaking kidding me Master?!"

"No, Seras…? I'm not," Alucard answered Seras' rhetorical question, causing her to uhf and puff before replying.

"OH MY GOD, MASTER! You've got to be joking. Just look at them. They look just like you! How you could say they aren't yours is beyond me. Really Master. Look at them."

Seras and Alucard had been going on in this manner for some time now, and had some how managed to find themselves in Seras' 'room'. How they got there was of no matter to them though. It also would have been an odd sight, had Walter or Integra stumbled in at that time.

All four vampires stood in middle of the room. The two being discussed over, were securely under each of Seras' arms as she stood there arguing with her master over whether or not they should stay or be kicked out. Alucard was standing directly in front of Seras, though he didn't argue with as much conviction as Seras, he really didn't want these two…kids to stay. But Alucard did feel as if he needed to oblige in looking at the two girls. He had barley given them a glance before abruptly saying no.

So with much hesitance, he looked at the two. And indeed, he noted, they did look like him. Very much like him. From their dark onyx hair to their white skin and high cheekbones. Not to mention their smell held a great semblance to his own. Very unique. And they most certainly were high-level vampires, both together and individually. Their aura was radiating off of them in waves. Obviously not as strongly as his, but powerful enough still to shock him.

But there was one difference. A completely obvious one at that too. And that was their eyes. They were beautiful to behold and held the same hidden danger that his did, flashing with that dancing flame, and they were just as equally captivating as his. But they were an unusual color. A bright, metallic blue, obviously meant to ensnare their prey in their grasp and drag them in, completely willing. They looked almost the same color as blue neon lights. And their pupils were a dark red. That almost black red that blood turns when a great amount of it swells up together all at once, making their eyes all the more camouflaged, yet still inhumanly different.

The completely obvious efficiency of just the girls' eyes alone impressed him greatly. But something seemed to bother him all the same. They seemed to cower behind Seras as if they were two scared toddlers hiding behind their mother, which they seemed to have dubbed Seras as. They didn't seem to have inherited his dominant attitude or personality. No. In fact they seemed shy. Now how could that be if they were his?! It couldn't be possible. No, they couldn't stay. It just wasn't possible!

But looking at the hold Seras had on the two and how she fought so passionately for them, not to mention the hold they had on her, it was all too clear to Alucard that no matter what he did, short of commanding Seras (which he very much didn't want to do), the two were going to stay. Letting out a sigh and looking around the room for something to give him an answer that would win this battle of the wills, Alucard came up with nothing and so he decided to try to use his master to his advantage.

"What about Integra?"

"What about her," Seras asked a little confused at the mention of Sir Integra.

"Well you can't expect to just walk into her office and get permission to keep them."

With that said, Alucard allowed a self-satisfied smirk grace his features. But it quickly fell away to a rather grim frown when Seras allowed a sly smirk of her own to grace her features in turn.

--M&L--

Integra sat at her desk, working on her never slackening amount of paperwork, when in burst Seras. Breaking the complete and comfortable silence that had accumulated in Integra's office. With a rather peeved expression, Integra looked up at Seras, only to be miffed by the sight of two young girls under each of her arms. So with one eyebrow raised Integra looked at Seras and began to speak.

"Seras-"

Integra was interrupted by the appearance of her other vampiric servant, who came walking through the doors with his head down, after Seras and the two girls. Integra acknowledged him with a bland "Alucard" before continuing.

"Seras why ar-"

Once again, Integra was interrupted. This time by the appearance of Walter, who stopped abruptly in the doorway upon catching sight of the two girls under Seras' arms.

"Uh…Who are they, Seras?"

Seras looked back at Sir Integra, wide eyed, and answered Walter's question, directing the answer at Integra.

"Look what came in the mail today for Master! They're his daughters. Don't they look just like him?"

Silence followed. Seras kept on looking at Integra while Alucard just started out the window, his eyes covered by his customary glasses. Walter just stared at the two girls in amazement and did the same thing as Integra, who was passing her cold glance over Seras, the two girls, Alucard and then back again. Yet, Walter's gaze held complete amusement in the situation rather then Integra's burning glare.

"So that's what was in the box. No wonder it was so heavy."

At the mention of their being heavy the two girls piped up. Surprising Seras and Alucard, who had only heard the word 'daddy' leave their mouths. And that had only been once.

"Hey, old man. Who you calling fat?!"

"Yeah. When was the last time you did sit-ups?"

These out bursts of theirs went completely ignored by Walter as he continued.

"These two teenagers (I presume you two are teens?)"-catching the girls off guard, the question shut them up and Walter was answered by two meek nods-"were in that package. Nice job, Alucard. They're pretty, not to mention they most definitely do look just like you," Walter said as he walked towards the girls.

Alucard's head snapped around and everyone could feel the holes he was drilling into Walter's back.

"Are you implying that I look…feminine, Angel?"

With a sickeningly sweet smile over his shoulder, Walter replied back.

"No, Master Alucard. What ever gave you that idea?"

This was answered in mumbles and a bit of grumbling too. So with a chuckle, Walter turned back to the girls.

"Being Alucard's daughters, I presume you two are thirsty?"

His answer once again came in the action of two nods.

"Good. Now please follow me, if you will," and with a smile Walter headed in the direction of the door. Both girls looked at each other and then looked up at Seras at the same time, as if silently asking if it was ok. With a slight nod and smile, Seras gave the two girls a soft push in Walter's direction.

Once Walter and the girls were out the door, Integra turned her attention back to the two vampires still in the viscidity of her office.

"What is the meaning of this, Seras? Alucard?"

"Sir. Please let them stay. Please? They have nowhere to go. Their mother died and sent them to Alucard in order to be protected. And he wanted to just throw them out on the streets, saying they couldn't possibly be his."

"Well, they certainly are his. Look just like him, as Walter has already said. But Alucard was right in saying they can't stay."

"But Sir Integra!" Seras' voice had taken on a whiney tone. "They're just little girls! And if we did that, sooner or later we'd probably have to kill them."

At the aspect of getting rid of the two girls that way, Alucard cheered up a bit and made a comment for the first time since asking Walter if he had been implying his looks were feminine.

"Well, then you do it. At least that'd be something interesting to do."

Seras gave Alucard a mingled look of utter disbelief and disgust before turning back to Integra and completely blowing over his comment.

"And anyways, Sir. They could be a great advantage. Both of them together are very powerful and very in sync to each other. With the right guidance, they could possibly be a very smart investment. Plus. They also seem to be natural-born vampires. It could be the perfect chance to see if there's any difference between made and born vampires. Who knows? They could turn out to be an even more powerful asset to the Hellsing Organization. And they're still growing."

Seeing the approach Seras was taking, Alucard groaned inside. He knew Integra would now be very interested in the two girls and be unable to let the prospect of a good investment pass her up.

Integra on the other hand, had eyed Seras in an appraising way. As Alucard had thought, seeing as how good an investment the two girls could be to her organization, Integra couldn't possibly let the opportunity pass her up so easily. But on the other hand these two girls, that up until this point, had been completely unheard of. Even by Alucard, who supposedly was their own father. And being his children, she had no clue how they could turn out. Or how they were. From the snappish behavior they'd had with Walter, Integra wasn't to sure whether or not it'd be a good idea to keep the two teens, the two vampire teens, here or to get rid of them, and as quickly as possible. And then, 'Ding!' The light bulb above her head went on.

Integra flashed Alucard a evil smile that just screamed 'Hahah, bitch! Pay back for anything you ever did and ever will do. En-joy', before considerably toning down the smile for Seras.

"The girls will be allowed to-"

"Yes! Ha, Master! Told you she'd say yes!"

With another smirk at Alucard, Integra continued as soon as Seras quieted down.

"The girls will be allowed to stay. But under a probationary period."

"A what?"

"A probationary period. They'll stay with us and be watched to see how everything runs with them here. If I see that everything is running smoothly while they're here, I'll allow them to stay with us after the time is up. But if they cause too many problems, they'll be killed."

Getting to his feet, Alucard gave a murderous glare at both his master and fledgling before bursting out, much like his daughters,

"Fine! You know what, Police Girl? If you want that responsibility. The responsibility of a parent. Then it's fine by me! And Integra, you cold hearted bitch, I-your-it's-Damn it! I hate you. God do I hate you."

"Like wise vampire. So it's settled. You and Seras will be the girls' new 'parents' and be taking care of them-"

"WHAT?! You've got to be kidding me!"

"You two will be taking care of them. They'll be introduced to the men when the next mission arises. Also, when that mission does come, they'll be accompanying you."

Alucard stood there, seething, while Seras went on thanking Integra profusely before running out of the office to find the girls. Her master following slowly behind, muttering Romanian curses the whole time, and leaving Sir Integra to laugh at his expense.

--M&L--

Upon reaching the kitchen, Alucard saw, by the way the two girls looked up at him, flashing their long white fangs in deadly smiles, that Seras had in fact already told the girls the news. With a 'umf', he sat down across the table from them, eyeing them.

They squirmed under his gaze. Waiting for him to speak and break the awkward tension. A look of questioning was passed between Seras and Walter, who then proceeded to 'apologize for leaving, but some important news had just come in for Sir Integra' and then left, leaving the four vampires to themselves.

Finally, Alucard broke the silence.

"So, if I'm going to have to put up with you two, you might as well tell what your names are."

The two girls eyed him in a calculating manner before the one to his right spoke up with another dazzling smile.

"My name's Elizabeth and this is my twin sister Mariann. And if you're curious as to our last name as well, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know it's Tepes."

She said this with a smile so sweet, it was making him sick. Looking in his other daughter's direction, he saw an exact replica of the smile on her face as well. Glaring at the girls, he found an undertone of elated amusement flashing in their eyes. Before he could say something about their last name and their apparent snotty-teenage attitudes, the girl that went by the name Elizabeth resumed talking.

"I'm the bitch and she's the whore."

"Hey! I'm not a fucking whore, you dumb bitch! Your jus-"

"Why thank you. I take you calling me a bitch a compliment, since it's what I am. Although...I'm just as stupid as you yourself are. So what's that make you? A dumb whore?"

This started a full out brawl that quickly found the two girls hissing and biting on the floor while they pounded on each other with their fists and scratched through each other's skin.

"Alright you two. That's enough of that," Alucard said as he pulled the two apart with a sprinkling of amusement.

"Ok fine. To put us in better terms. We're bitchy whores. Though you two"-Elizabeth looked over at Seras to include her in the conversation-"are going to go on as if you don't know that. That is, if our assumption of parenting is correct."

"Elizabeth and Mariann. Mariann and Elizabeth. Aren't those names a bit…Oh, I don't know. Old?"

"Old?! And this coming from some old fart named Vlad," Mariann replied amusedly. Elizabeth burst out laughing at the glare Alucard sent their way.

"So how are we going to tell you two apart," Seras piped in after coming back into the conversation from dreamland. Completely missing the part about Alucard being named Vlad, thus missing out on a chance to know who he had been in the past. Who he still was.

"Well that's easy! Just put a guy in the room and Mari here will be on his di-"

"Ok. Ok. That's enough of the foul language," Seras interrupted before anymore inappropriate words spilled out of the girls' mouths.

"Humph."

"What," Seras asked a little offended.

"You don't expect us to follow through will that, do you?"

"Uh…Yes. I do expect you to follow through with that."

The two girls looked inquisitively at Alucard, who just looked coolly back at them. An amused expression fell across both the girls' faces and Elizabeth let out a soft chuckle. Turning back to Seras, Mariann simply stated,

"I'm sorry to inform you on this subject that it's very unlikely that we'd be able to stop using this…foul language. Aren't I right Bitch?"

Slightly smiling, Elizabeth took her cue to reply just as sarcastically mannerly as Mariann.

"You're very right, Mari."

"Thank you for the back up of our very true and right argument, Lizz."

"No problem, Magic Twin."

At the statement of their inacceptance, Seras let out very softly,

"What happened to the two quiet, shy girls full of innocence? When did they trade spots with these two? They really are Alucard's girls."

Alucard smirked at this. The girls too smirked before Mari once again spoke up.

"Innocence? Who's innocent?"

"Someone is an innocent here?"

"Yeah. I can smell it. Well, I know it's not me. Or you, Lizz. That was lost awhile ago."

"Yeah. And it can't be Daddy."

"Obviously. He had to of taken part in order for us to have been made."

"So that only leaves…"

Both girls slowly turned to look at Seras, whose cheeks were burning a brilliant red. Seeing what had just passed, Alucard let loose a bark of laughter, causing the girls to look shockingly back up at him.

"You got to be kidding me," Mariann said. Followed by Elizabeth saying,

"But your figure and your boobs," before she turned to look at Alucard again.

"Daddy are you serious? You haven't-"

Seras interrupted to quietly ask,

"You two aren't virgins? But you're only like fourteen."

"Excuse us. But we're sixteen. Th-ank you."

"Yeah. And no. We aren't virgins," Elizabeth said rather directly, causing Alucard to once again laugh out loud.

'I was very, very wrong about them being shy and cowardly and not having inherited my personality or attitude. I think I'll rather like having them around, now that I think about it and know them a bit more. I can just image all the fun and mischief us three will be getting ourselves in,' Alucard thought to himself as he continued to listen to the girls talk about their experiences. Not to mention watching Seras' already embarrassed, horrified, blushing face turn brighter and brighter by the moment.

"So that's when he was about to-"

The girls were interrupted when in swaggered Pip.

"Oh, Mon Cheri! Sir Integra said-"

Seeing the four vampires sitting at the table and looking at him, two of whom were looking at him with great predator interest, Pip did what everyone else seemed to do when he caught sight of the two girls. He stopped right in his tracks, staring at them.

Standing up from their seats and leaning slightly against each other, the girls addressed him.

"And who is this?"

"Yes. He looks quite…delicious doesn't he?"

"Oh. Yes, he does."

While talking, they'd started walking towards him. Swaying their hips, putting their eyes to the use they were so cleverly made for. Really laying on the seduction as they came up to him.

Even their appearance seemed to change. They seemed to have grown into two twenty year olds rather then two fourteen year olds.

Trailing their hands over his chest, arms and abs, they flirted with him.

"Hm. You're very strong and handsome aren't you."

"Very handsome. May I be so bold as to ask what your name is?"

Unnerved and completely at a loss for words, Pip somehow managed to get his name out.

"P-Pip."

"I like it. It's cute. Roles off the tongue nicely."

"Where are you from Pip? From your accent, I take it not from around here?"

"I'm…French," Pip answered hesitantly.

Letting a meaningful glance and elated, predatory smile pass between each other, the girls withdrew from Pip. Eyes glittering.

"Oh. France. Then that must mean you're really good at frenchin-"

The girls were cut off as they were abruptly levered into the air by two large, white-gloved hands.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!"

"Put us down!"

Eyes glinting madly, Alucard snapped at Pip.

"What?"

Scared by the angry expression on the master vampire's face, Pip stumbled over his words.

"Si-Sir Integra said there's a mission. Told me to come get Seras."

Finally!
I've finished it!
Yay!
Sorry about the long wait it was for this chapter.
Hope you enjoyed. Don't forget to review!
Uh…And now that I've gotten back on role with this story I'll probably update sooner. Although. I might take long for updates on Paint now. Oh well.
