Kagome sighed as she walked down the hallway. Why does she always get the strange ones? She groaned and rubbed her face in frustration. But he did give her the freedom of movement, which seemed odd. She only had two other masters before him, yet he was the only one who knew what he was doing, when it came to the right commands and orders. Yet he has already given her speech and movement the very same day, or should she say night? He gave her both acts so she was practically able to move and say anything she pleased. Was he just trying to lure her into a false sense of security? She shook her head.

Why would he do so? He already controls her. He had no reason to. Then again, he had no reason to give her free will, on most accounts. She still was his servant, but during the day she could move around and do what she wanted while he was sleeping. He said so. That brings her back to the reason he was so strange. He is a vampire-- A Vampire!! She sighed. Oh well, they were chosen to be her master for a reason, she guessed. Hmm...

Now that she thinks about it, he was nice to her, even if he wouldn't fully admit it. He was interested in her, but it was not physical of course, all her masters were like that. Uninterested in her physical form. Yet he practically is allowing her to move and say anything she wants. That's not a typical thing for someone to do. Though, her last master did the exact same thing. Her first master--Well, he didn't really see the need to free her, since she had to stay by him 24/7 anyways. She was his bodyguard, so to speak.

Her other masters were regular guys who had no idea how to control someone like her. Then here comes this guy. He was a vampire. He was strong. He was a vampire. He was very skilled in guns. He was a vampire. He knew how to command her. He was a vampire. He slept during the day, because he was a freakin' Vampire… and did she mention he was a VAMPIRE!?!?!

She groaned once more, while opening the large doors and going outside. Why was he chosen to be her next master? Someone like him-- It goes against all that's good and right with-- well, everything. He was part of their kind, her enemy, and yet here she was, serving under him. Yet she does not hate him. She thinks he is strange, and he is quite the character, but that was it. She might complain but it is mostly from confusion-- A low whistle caught her attention, breaking her thoughts.

"Hey baby, what's a fine woman like you doing in a place like this?"

She looked around and noticed she was near the training grounds. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes when it only consisted of men, who were all staring at her like a piece of meat. What joy...

"I am just walking around and getting to know the place. This is now my home." She told them.

"Oh!" He sounded ecstatic. "So we are going to see you more often?!" He grinned. "It's good to see such a beautiful woman walking around the grounds. It's a nice change of scenery." He reached out and gently grabbed her chin, lifting her head up. "How about you and me go and get a bite to eat?"

She swatted his hand away and kicked him in the gut. He went flying and landed on a table full of raw material used for the training sessions. She cursed inside her head. That is going to add time to her sentence!! She groaned. As if it wasn't long enough already-- Maybe this whole freedom thing was a bad idea? She just ends up getting into trouble...

She sighed, not caring about the shocked stares being thrown at her by the men, and turned around, going back towards her master's chambers. Unexpectedly she was stopped by another man. She almost groaned again, not wanting to deal with this right now.

"That was some excellent work you did." He complimented her.

Not another one. She sighed. She was surprised he was so bold to try something after what she just did to the other guy. Though she must admit, the one she kicked a moment ago was a lot younger looking. This man was older and had a scar on his left cheek.

"I'm sorry if my men caused you any trouble Miss Kagome." He bowed apologizing. "I heard about you from Integra, but I had no idea you would be so strong." She sighed. So he is not hitting on her. Good. She didn't want to defend herself again. She might actually hurt him if she did. Then again, she doubted it. He might be old but he doesn't look weak. "Would you consider working for us?" He suggested.

"It's nice to meet you too Mr.--?"

"Commander Peter Fargason" He introduced himself.

"Fargason." She gave him a small smile. "I'm sorry but I must decline your offer. I only take orders from My Master."

"I'm sorry you feel that way Miss Kagome. You would have been an excellent addition to our team."

"Even if I had a choice, Fargason, I would have declined either way." Seeing his confusion she tried not to laugh. "I do not work well in teams you see..."

"Ah." He exclaimed. "I understand."

"Now if you'll excuse me..." She bowed and he accepted her quick departure by giving her a nod. She then left the experienced commander to do his work, and continued her way to her master's chambers like she had planed.

She sighed as images started flooding back, one right after another. The word 'team' brought so many lost memories. She hoped they would have stayed lost, but that was never the case with her past. It never goes away, not mater how many times she prays. She slowly opened the door, going back inside the large mansion.

She was not lying when she said she was not good with teams. Teamwork was never a good thing for her. She always just got in the way.

"Always…" She mumbled, while wandering the dark and lonely corridors.

Though she planned to go back to her master's chambers, she decided it would be best to wander a little longer. She did not feel like sitting around, waiting for her master to wake from his slumber once the sun set. Watching and waiting was something she had to do while she was clam, and in control of her emotions.

And her master was not the type of man who would calm her while she was under his watchful red orbs. She had to constantly stay alert, while at the same time be relaxed. Her mind had to be blocked, so he could not read her thoughts if he wanted to. He was a vampire after all, and a powerful one at that. She knew it the moment her body broke free from its imprisonment. But what she doesn't know was his abilities and skills, but just to be sure she counted mind reading as one of them.

She gave a soft laugh, and it echoed though the empty hallway. Yeah, listen to her. She knows a lot alright. His powerful, yet that gives her nothing solid to go on. For all she guessed he could: Possess bodies. Teleport. Use telekinesis. Transform. Control shadows. Pass though walls. Fly. Use Heat vision. Faster then a speeding bullet. Can leap tall building in a single bound-- Wait-- Wasn't that superman's abilities? When did she mix the two? She shrugged. Who cares? For all she knows he could actually do that and she was ready for it. Well, maybe not the whole 'Melt your brain with his glare' thing. Wait. Was that even on the list?

"Hmm…"

Who cares?! She was ready for that too!! Heaven forbid he could actually do it and she would be caught off guard with that attack, not expecting it. Oh, no. She gave an unladylike snort. She was ready for it now! That will show him! Humph! Try and see if he can melt her brain with his freaky glare now!

"Bring it on!" She yelled out loud.

"I am glad to see someone will be 'bringing it on'. We do need some excitement around here." A voice spoke behind her. She blushed and turned around, coming face to face with a tall, neatly dressed gentleman with a monocle. "Though I'm not so sure what that means exactly. You see, I'm not to 'hip' with the new language now a days." He confessed. "Though I am rather curious as to why you are shouting to yourself in this empty hallway…"

"Well, umm." She laughed nervously and blushed. "It just slipped, that's all."

"I see…"

"I uh--" She bowed. "I'm Kagome." She introduced herself. He chuckled.

"Walter C. Dornez, at your service." He gave her a small, polite bow as well. "I am Miss Integra's butler, so to speak."

"It's nice to meet you Walter." She smiled.

"Likewise Miss Kagome." He repeated her greeting. "I hear you have taken quite a shine to Lord Alucard and are willingly working for him." He brought up a small conversation. She blushed and turned her head, looking out the window.

"I have not 'taken a shine' to anyone. He woke me from my slumber, therefore I am obliged to be his servant until my sins have been atoned for." She stated. "Nothing more, nothing less."

"I see. I am sorry I have thought otherwise." He quickly apologized.

"You have not offended me, do not worry about it." She said. "It will be dark soon." She noticed. "I must go back to my master. I have to be there when he awakens from his small nap, you see."

"I understand." He gave her another small bow. "I shall see you again, Miss Kagome."

"Looking forward to it." She waved goodbye to the nice man, and continued down the hallway, going towards her master's chambers once again.

Kagome sighed as she sat on the cold stone floor, leaning against the wall, just outside her master's chambers. It was once again morning and she seemed conflicted on what to do, now that he was resting.

Last night seemed strange. He left and ordered her to stay here while he went out alone. She didn't know why, but she didn't question him. He looked… different, and acted strangely. He kept saying things like 'This is a great night. A kind of night that makes me want to drink blood.' She was more confused then anything when he says such strange things. She could never fully understand him, and she wondered if she ever will.

Though she waited outside for his return, sitting in a tree. She did admit the full moon looked rather breathtaking. She did not have to wait too long for his return, but she also found out something she least expected.

Word was already spreading that a new vampire has joined our group. She was surprised and confused by this. He changed a human into a fledgling? She didn't really wish to believe it until her master appeared out of nowhere and admitted he did. She wasn't scared or even upset by this fact, just curious. She could never be mad at her master, he wasn't that bad of a guy, and she would never fear someone like him. Yet she couldn't help but be curious as to why he did it. And so she asked.

He laughed at her, surprised by her sudden act of 'courage'. She has never spoken to him like that before, all she ever did was agree and call him master, nothing more. He believed that her curiosity was overpowering her consciousness. Then again, that was just a sign that she was a living thing, and all things get curious every now and then. He then smirked saying that was a good thing because if she was just 'a robot who had no free thought' then he would have found her to be dull and boring. But now, he said this fact made her interesting again. She then replied:

"Glad to see you find me so intriguing, Master. I will try to live up to your expectations."

What she said must have amused him for he couldn't stop smirking, allowing one of his sharp canines to show itself over his lips. He then said that he did not need a reason to change a person into a vampire. 'It was her choice.' Her? That meant it was a woman.

"Are you not happy about his fact, pet? You now have a new playmate that you can converse with about womanly things. Then again, it would be a bad thing if she turned out to be attracted to you. After all, nearly every man in this organization finds you alluring." She couldn't help but blush, and he laughed at her discomfort while fading away into the shadows.

A blush appeared on he cheeks as she leaned against the stone. She couldn't help it if all the men in their team were horny! It's not like she cast a spell on them or something. Believe it or not, she doesn't want to be surrounded by men every time she takes one step out of the basement. She sighed. How did he know about that anyway? She only leaves during the day. She rolled her eyes. He is Alucard after all. He knows everything.

Though she was curious to meet the new member of the team, she was unable to see her that night. She figured she needed her rest, and she'll see her some other time. She did feel happy by the fact there was another woman in the house, Integra not included. She could be a woman if she wanted to, but she angry all the time, and was so stressed, she was not the type of person to talk about warm and fuzzy things with. Maybe her master was correct? This might be a good chance to have a girl around who she can talk to and have fun with?

Then again, it would be a bad thing if she turned out to be attracted to you.

A blushed spread across her nose once again. Why did he have to go and say something like that?! She sighed and leaned her head against the wall, closing her eyes. Who knew a vampire could be so unpredictable?
