a/n: well, here's the third chapter, up and running. If you're a bit confused on the story, you can always pm me. I'll be happy to explain. And as usual, if you're going to critique, do so kindly, please.

Oh, and read this, it's an important lesson:

"Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum."

Chapter 3: Call of the Search

OOOOOOOOOO

It burned, but it numbed as well. It filled his lungs and stung his eyes. He could feel himself weakening, and though it was painful, it would all be over soon enough.

OOOOOOOOOO

As soon as the rain began to fall, Integra had found herself pitying Alucard again. He never really like the rain, but at times he'd been so mesmerized by it that he'd go outside in a trance like state. Unfortunately for him though, the rain drained his powers and often left him very weak afterwards. So, as Integra aged, she's learned to grab Alucard, bring him inside, and quickly dried him off.

Sighing, she stood up and began walking out of her office. She'd decided the right thing to do would be to go talk to him. There had to be a reason for his lying and as his master, she could and would get it out.

OOOOOOOOOO

Pip and Seras avoided glances as they neared each other. If they looked in each other's eyes, they'd feel the ping of guilt within themselves. The others walked in, catching the aura of the two Captains walking towards each other. They quickly hurried inside; the rain only making it faster, yet the two remained at slow pace.

As soon as the garage closed and the two were the only remaining, they began to speak. "Pip," "Seras," they both said at the same time. "You first," they both said again, at the same time, and then there was the awkward silence.

Finally, Pip broke the awkward silence, "Ladies first."

"It's Master," Seras said, finally meeting Pip's gaze, "I haven't seen him in a while and I just wanted to go check up on him."

"Really?" Pip asked, joy overriding all guilt in his eyes but soon it came back. "Yeah, I've just been getting a very bad feeling about what he said, and I feel horrible for calling him… jealous," Seras said with all despair in her voice. Pip sadly nodded in understanding, "I know, but don't take it all on yourself. You weren't the only one who hurt him." As he said this, the guilt radiated within him.

"Well, let's get to it then," Pip said, grabbing Seras' wrist, "Let's hurry up before he chooses not to forgive us."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Please Alucard, let me in!" Walter shouted, banging on the door again. The Wild Geese stood on the top of the stair case behind him. The Butler's constant banging had made it impossible for them to rest. For a while, they thought that he'd let his age get the best of him and had finally gone crazy. He'd been yelling up a storm and yet no one answered.

But as soon as they followed the Butler's voice, they finally realized why he'd been yelling.

They'd all laughed at him, and all felt bad afterwards. They'd wanted him to forgive them, but is was okay with them of Walter was the first to open the door.

"Alucard please!" Walter begged banging on the door with all of his might. Still, only silence answered. "Well," Walter said, turning towards the Wild Geese, "It'd alright to come along now. Clearly, Alucard isn't in his room." "Then where is he?" "Yeah, did he leave?" "Where would he go.." Walter sighed as they paraded him with questions. "I don't know where he is," Walter said in an honest tone, "Honestly, I don't. I've checked everywhere, perhaps you could check again!"

They all agreed to do so until they were stopped by Integra. "Get out of the way!" she shouted, shoving the men aside and making her way downstairs. She was shocked to see Walter already there. The expression on his face was a grim one. "He's not in there, is he?" Integra asked bluntly. "No," Walter replied, his eyes closed. Integra clenched her fist, "Well, did you check inside?" she shouted at him. Walter jumped a bit, but was able to calm himself, quickly, "No Sir, but he would have_" Integra interrupted him, "WELL OPEN IT, BREAK IT DOWN, DO SOMETHING!"

Walter nodded and put his wired gloved on, then broke door into pieces.

Above them stood Seras and Pip. As soon the door was opened, the two ran through the crowd, past Integra and Walter, and into the room. "Master!" Seras shouted. "!" Pip shouted behind Seras running around as well.

As Pip continued running around and shouting, he hit Alucard's coffin with a thud and came tumbling on the ground. "Ouch," he said, rubbing his nose, "It's completely hollow, he's not in here." Seras ran behind him and knelt next to the coffin. "Well," she said pushing the lid off, "you didn't even look inside."

The rest ran behind the two, all looking into the coffin. "Well, there no body in here," Seras said, stating the obvious. The only things in his coffin were his guns, hat and glasses, all neatly organized.

"Okay, well, where's Alucard?" Pip asked looking around. Everyone shrugged much to his annoyance. "Well, all of you Wild Geese need to be searching for him," Pip commanded causing Integra to glance at him. "What?" he asked catching her glance, "I'm just ordering my people."

Integra rolled her eyes at this. Pip slyly smiled to himself as he bent down to pick up Alucard hat. He'd always wanted to put Integra in her place. He'd honestly hated how she'd always picked on demanded Alucard and picked on Seras. The vampires of the house received no respect, and if not for them, there would be no Hellsing.

Pip motioned the hat towards Seras. She looked up at him, confused, and asked "Why Master's hat?" Pip smiled, "Because," he began, "you should be able to smell your own Master, shouldn't you?" "Oh," Seras replied, nodding. "Captain Bernadette, that's brilliant," Walter added much to Pip's enjoyment. Integra just shrugged, and began muttering under her breath.

"Well, the three of us outta follow Mignonette, and if the rain continues like this, it makes our job all the more exciting," Pip exclaimed, a boastful smile on his face. "You expect us to go out in the rain?" Integra asked as she neared Pip. Pip simply nodded. "It's raining cats and dogs out there!" she shouted at him. At this, Pip stared curiously, "No, it's actually raining water and raindrops." Integra's face reddened at this remark. "It's SARCASM, and for your information WATER and RAINDROPS are the same DAMN THING!" and with this, Integra angrily walked upstairs. "Wait!" Pip shouted, running behind her, "Where are you going!" "To get my raincoat!" she replied, running to go to her room.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm sorry, but I can't go any further tonight. I went to get a perm today and she basically just put some corrosive cream on my head. Now my scalp hurts and it's making my eye sight worse than it already is. I should have another chapter up tomorrow, gotta do some homework though, so, who knows.

I think you can all tell Integra feels bad for not believing Alucard and deep down inside she's worried. Pip is taking a stand with Seras behind him, and Walter's being Walter. Sorry, but I really don't like these long chapters of mine.

If you want to know who Obito is, watch Naruto. But he doesn't come for a long time so just skip. Anyway, more updates when I have them, so all have a wonderful week and God Bless!
