Unbreakable

Chapter 2: Shapeshifter

Seras POV

My former Master and now somehow companion would have proclaimed this one of his beautiful nights. It was a pity that he wasn't with me tonight, sharing a little walk, maybe having a little drink outside. As much as I knew, Alucard was on a mission in Ireland. I hadn't seen him for days and he didn't contact me in any way. He wasn't really the most chatty mate, if his feelings or mine for that matter, were involved. He simply had said good bye when he'd left. I had to ask Integra for more information.

I planned to leave the manor for a little walk on my own, but I didn't even reach the gates, when Alucard suddenly called out to me through our mental link.

'Police Girl. Lady Integra wants to speak with you. Office. Now.' I heard him say and I immediately turned around and walked back into the building. I didn't like how he still referred to me as 'The Police Girl' and I certainly didn't like how my body and soul still followed most of his orders. Nowadays I simply could have said 'No, bite me!' and walked away. He probably would take that literally… I should think of another phrase.
It was a rather long walk back to the manor, but I was quick enough and phased through a few walls as soon as I reached the building. Not much later I stood in Integras office and there, at her desk, she sat. She looked a little stressed out.

"Is everything alright, Lady Integra?" I asked and looked for Alucard. But all I could discover was a little girl, sitting on one of the Sofas. She had long black hair, neatly combed and wore a white suit and coat. When I looked at her with a questioning glance, she simply grinned evilly. Oh my. I'd know that grin everywhere… and if that hadn't given it away already I'd have guessed it when my gaze fell on her gloves with this damn Hellsing spells.

"M-m-master?" I stuttered and was obviously forgetting that he wasn't my Master anymore. Maybe I should use it more as a pet name from now on?

"Not quite. You drank my blood, a few nights ago, can't you remember, honey?" She smirked smugly and gave me a wink. Her voice was sweet and bashful, nothing like Alucards; then again she had the same mocking tone, even if it sounded less obvious. She bat her eyelashes innocently and rose from her seat. Slowly she strode towards me and stopped by my side, looking up to me. Normally he was a head taller than I, now I was. I really didn't know what to think about this, of course I knew that Alucard could change his appearance if he liked and I knew that he could pose as a girl, but seeing it with my own eyes… that was another story. Wasn't a piece of cake when your lover suddenly turned into a little girl. Also, why had he transformed into this form anyways? It got really creepy when she placed her hand on my back and stroked me a little. Alucard used to do this from time to time, but now it felt pretty awkward.

I completely forgot about Integra until she finally spoke up. "Stop flirting, Alucard! Moments ago you were trying to explain what happened on your mission."

Out of a sudden Alucards grin disappeared and she looked rather angry. "Everything was all right until my target appeared and started to mess with me. This vampire has strong mental abilities and was able to work his tricks for a moment. After only a few seconds he had me trapped in this shape. I may have underestimated my opponent."

This didn't sound like him at all. "You want to tell me that you are trapped in this body now and can't change back into you usual shape?" Integra summarized. "Why didn't you kill the bastard? That should have cancelled the spell."

Alucard made a face. "The freak managed to escape, while he let the building crash atop of me. I tried to chase him, but I couldn't track him down. He seems to be a worthy challenger. Don't make a fuss, I'll kill him soon enough."

"Why would he curse you like that anyways?!" His Master demanded to know.

"I can only guess the whys. Probably he thought this body would be weaker, but that isn't the case. The shape of my body has no significance to me. Anyways, I will rest until tomorrow and then the Police Girl and I will locate that bastard and take him out."

All I could feel was excitement for the upcoming mission and hope. I really hoped that he could change back into his old self soon, since I wanted my Alucard back. Not that he wasn't Alucard right now, but he simply… wasn't the… true Alucard I knew and loved.

"Very well. The only one allowed to restrict your powers is me. Do what you have to do, servant."

With that we were dismissed from Integra's office and started to make our way to the basement.

"Why are you so upset?" Alucard suddenly asked. Startled, I looked at the little girl beside me and continued on walking.

"I am not upset." I lied. Of course I was upset. "I am just a little… confused maybe."

A shriek came out of my lungs when the petit girl unexpectedly pinned me to the next wall. "How often shall I tell you? I hate it when you lie to me." Alucard glared at me, his face wearing a furious expression. "You clearly are disappointed in something, my dear. Tell me what it is. I'd love to hear what offends you." I shouldn't let her looks get to me. She was still Alucard and a goddamn pain in the arse.

"Well, if you really need to know, I'll tell you, but don't you dare to complain afterwards!" I shot him a warning glare and tried to find the right words, without blushing again. "I simply like you better when you are a man."

I expected her to be offended or angry, but all she did was laugh. She simply laughed at me!

"Where did my little innocent Police Girl go?" She finally managed to say. "I already noticed how insatiable you've become, my little minx." A soft chuckle roared through her throat when she let go of me and continued to walk towards the cellar. "Follow me, Seras."

Embarrassed I ran after her, if Alucard hadn't reacted so bad to me lying, I'd have denied to miss the dick. "I'm not as nymphomaniac as you think."

"Just keep denying it. Your mind screams otherwise and I can read you far better since we share our new bound. There is no chance you could hide anything from me now." She looked up at me and gave me one of these rare, genuine smiles, which always let my heart melt and made me fall even harder for my Master.

As we finally reached our rooms I looked at her, unsure what to do. Normally we would go back into Alucards hidden bedroom. I didn't possess a bed, since they had forced me sleep in a coffin thirty years ago. "Come on." She said and opened the door to her chambers. When I didn't follow her request, if not to say order, the girl sighed and looked at me with tired eyes. "Don't be so stubborn. If you do not like this body, I won't pursue you." She turned away from me and entered her chambers. "I am not content with this situation either. You're not the only one who's missed their lover."

"I- I'm sorry Master." I offered and forced myself to follow her. "Let's just cuddle up in your coffin, yes?"

"As you wish." Alucard answered and closed the door after I've walked in. "But can't you stop calling me Master already? I'll always be your Sire, but I am not your Master any longer."

A shiver crept over my spine. It really wasn't easy to accept these circumstances. It also seemed as if I still was a disappointment to him. No matter what I did, it wasn't good enough.

"You won't stop calling me Police Girl either!" A pout appeared on my face. "You've been my Master for over thirty years. It's hard to... adjust."

"I simply like to mock you sometimes, but we are equals now."

"We are? I thought no one could ever be your equal. After all you are the infamous Dracula." Sometimes he surprised me with statements like this. Mostly he made me feel inadequate or worthless, but after our relationship had changed he seemed to have softened, at least if it concerned me.

"I have not softened." She snapped and turned away from me. I didn't know if she was embarrassed or simply moved to get to her blood wine. "Let's have a drink and afterwards we can retire to our bed." Did she just say 'our'? No, I must have misheard.

Once we drank some blood and retreated to the bedroom, a silly idea formed in my head. I'd never voice that notion out loud, but Alucard must have heard that certain thought anyways.

"The things I do for love." I heard her mutter under her breath. Had she really said love? But wait. "What do you mean?" Cautiously I looked at her.

"If it helps you to relax, do what you want. I won't stop you."

"Don't be so nice to me. It's totally awkward and odd." Her behaviour scared me. Was she still Alucard? Ord did she behave like this, because she was trapped in this female form. "Are you sure you're yourself?"

"You really must think I am a monster." At least she wasn't offended by my words, because she grinned and flicked her fingers. A shadow moved over her body and her formal attire disappeared and left her in cute, baby blue pyjamas. "I hope you like yours." I looked down over my body and found myself in a lacy and see-through black negligée. "Master!"

The little girl snickered sinisterly. "Don't be a prude; I've seen all of you already anyways. I'll let you brush my hair, be grateful for my limitless kindliness." She sat down on the bed and turned me her back, still wearing that grin, she looked over her shoulder and invited me to start.

"And don't forget that this is only a one-time thing." Now her voice sounded dead serious. "When I killed that bastard and can change back at my own will, we'll all behave like our normal selves again."

Could it be that she was worried about me being so distressed? No, that couldn't possibly be. Alucard wasn't that insightful.

"Of course… Alucard."

Quickly I walked over to the dresser and pulled open a few drawers, until I found a brush. I had put it there a few nights ago, because I still liked to brush my hair from now to then. After all we spent most our time here, so it made sense to keep a few items here.

Alucard heaved a sigh when I sat down behind her and started to brush her long, straight hair gently. I let my fingers brush through her smooth strands and wished I had pretty hair like this. My hair never grew longer after becoming a vampire and I knew that it wouldn't be as straight and smooth as Alucards anyways. At least I could bury my fingers from time to time in her long mane.

"You never cease to surprise me. How can you be delighted by such trivial things?"

"I never needed much to make me happy." Life had me taught rather brutally that we didn't always get what we wanted or deserved. First I lost my family, than my colleagues and then I lost my own human life. But I wouldn't want it any other way, after all I had to endure I found a new family. Lady Integra and Alucard were my family now. I learned to cherish every moment that made me smile.

Of course I wouldn't tell my lover that she made me very happy when I gave me some of her attention.

"I'm done." For a last time I tenderly stroked over her shiny hair; then I moved to one side of the bed and crawled under the sheets, putting the brush on the nightstand beside me.

I caught Alucard looking at me with an odd expression. "What's wrong?" I asked, but got no real answer. She simply shook her head, stood up and walked around the bed to settle on the free side. Immediately she lay beside me and we lay on our sides facing each other. "Maybe this female form softens me up after all. I can't wait to get rid of it." She gently touched my face with a gloved hand and smirked. "If you'd let me touch you as it should be, the shape wouldn't matter at all."

"Not happening. You can call me prudish and petty as much as you want, but…" As much as I enjoyed Alucard being nice and all, it simply wasn't him, her or whatever... I wouldn't have been so shocked if he suddenly had taken the shape of the count. They almost looked the same, but he being a girl was too much to comprehend.

"You don't have to explain yourself. Go to sleep now, Seras."

And as always, I followed his command.

End of Seras POV

Alucard didn't know when he started to harbour romantic feelings for his former fledgling. It hadn't taken Seras all too long to fall asleep and the ancient vampire used the opportunity to watch his companion closely. He simply couldn't take his eyes off her, even after he had defiled her body and soul, she still radiated with innocence. This was one of her features that he adored. After all she was right; he was truly getting laxer, but not because he was trapped in his female shape. No, it as her fault. How could he hurt the woman he longed for? He didn't even want to think it, but he might even get to love her. For centuries he hadn't allowed himself to fall in love. For centuries he hadn't tried to find himself some company. Then she came along and changed everything. Turning her because she herself had chosen this path was one of the biggest lies he had ever told himself. He had been very selfish this very night.
Today she was his, but he couldn't properly show how much he liked her without scaring her. Alucard was sure that she loved him, but she still seemed to be frightened of him. And then there still was the fact that he simply loved to mock her at any chance. She should give him a lot of credit for knowing when to stop; if it was needed he could be serious.

"You shouldn't be scared of me anymore. I might be a monster, but I'd never ever harm you, my queen." He whispered to the sleeping blonde and closed his eyes as well. To him it didn't matter which shape he had, he merely was himself, but for Seras he'd do everything to get back to his masculine body as fast as possible.

Seras POV

The first thing I felt was a whiff of Alucards scent. I inhaled his exquisite odour deeply and found myself lying on his soft chest. He had his arms around my back and caressed my hair with a hand. My mind needed a few seconds to process, that his arms were way to short and petit to be his. His chest was also too soft and if I didn't misinterpret, my head rested on chest that was way too soft and might be a little too womanly.

"Yeah, I am still a girl." I heard Alucard say. "And I am not apologizing for not possessing bigger-…"

"Don't even dare to say stuff like that!" I yelled and shoved him away, trying to withstand laughing hysterically and of course I was completely awake now. "I'd never survive if you talked about your goddamn boobs! You shouldn't even have such little ones."

At first Alucard had been a bit surprised, but then she had a laughing fit. She really couldn't stop and I couldn't help, but laugh with her. While my body still responded to my lover, my mind wasn't quite so forgetful.

"That's an enjoyable way to start a night." Alucard said when she had calmed down again and got off the bed. She already wore her white outfit again. "Get up and get dressed. We got a lot of work to do. We'll meet in twenty minutes in front of the manor." With that the white clad vampire phased through the brick wall and left me alone.

As soon as I had put on my red uniform and cleaned up a bit – Alucard allowed no one to enter this bedroom, so there wouldn't be any staff cleaning up down here – I walked into the main chamber to drink a blood bag that awaited me there. Usually I took my time to eat, but today I gulped it down quickly, because I didn't want to make Alucard wait and the twenty minutes were almost over. Quickly enough I phased through several walls I had to cross, grabbed my cannon including ammunition and reached our rendezvous point on time. My companion was already there waiting for me.
"I gained new information while you had your breakfast." The girl said to me and sucked on a blood bag herself. She handed me another one and when I looked at her irritated she said: "You only had one bag and none of my blood yesterday. Don't start starving yourself again and drink."

Sighing I took the bag she handed me and yanked the lid off. I was still hungry anyways and started drinking. "What information?"

"He attacked another company." She simply said and finished her meal. I knew Alucard good enough to ask no further questions and I didn't need more information anyways to be honest.

"Then let's get going."

The place was overrun with ghouls. As soon as we arrived at the building of a rather bigger pharmacy company we were attacked by ghouls. We didn't need to coordinate the attack; I started to take out the infantry while Alucard started to search the freak. Since we had no time to lose, we split up, instead of getting rid of the ghouls first. There were so many of them… it took a lot of time, even if I bent the shadows to my wishes and released a few of my demons. After a while I could hear gunfire a few levels above. I hoped there weren't any more ghouls standing in my Masters way. Once I had exterminated every ghoul on this floor I moved onwards to follow Alucard. It didn't take long to find them, as I could hear constant gunfire and maybe a bit of nasty yelling.

"This time you won't get away!" I heard the still female Alucard yell.

"Don't be so sure of yourself. Tonight I'll end you, Alucard." Only a few more corridors and I've reached them…

Alucards opponent didn't look much older than I, but that usually didn't mean anything. He wore a clad black outfit and had blond hair. His eyes flashed in a dark orange and he didn't seem to notice me. Quickly I loaded the Harkonnen III and fired at the nameless freak. Such a pity… he saw it coming and moved out of the way. Even faster I reloaded and set another shot, if only to distract him. Directly after my second shot, Alucard shot forward and stabbed him with his right arm.

"Wasn't that strong after all..." My Master claimed and watched the body decomposing until only a heap of ashes remained. "Sheer luck, him managing to get away from me yesterday, I'd say."

"And? Can you shift back into your usual shape?" I asked, hoping that this nightmare was finally over.

Shadows consumed the feminine Alucard and expanded around her. It only lasted a few seconds until the usually red clad, badass and very manly Alucard stepped out of the shadows, wearing his trade mark smirk. Oh how had I missed his red coat, grey suit and that comical sun glasses and fedora? "Better?"

Instead of giving him an answer, I dropped my cannon and ran over to him, jumping into his arms. He caught me and embraced me tightly, pulling my lips against his. While I threw my arms around his neck and tried to hold back my tears, he kissed me passionately. Seems like I've giving him a hard time after all, barely letting him touch me while being stuck in his female form. I didn't even want to know what would've happened to our sprouting relationship, if he hadn't been able to change back so fast.

"Let's get back into our bedroom." He alluringly whispered into my ear and let go off me.

So he really had referred to the bedroom as 'ours' yesterday. All I could do was beam with happiness as we finally made our way home.

End of Seras POV

"Maybe you are getting old too, servant." Lady Integra eyed her vampire closely and tried to figure out why he was able to kill that freak so easily after letting him get away the day before.

"I already am old, Lady Integra." He simply answered and grinned. "He merely surprised me for a second and could sneak away. It won't happen again."

Sir Hellsing nodded slowly and was secretly happy that the old Alucard was back. The female Alucard gave the old Lady the creeps. Maybe she should forbid him to take that form again until she'd have to leave this world.

"Thank you for your report. You can retreat now." Deciding against such a command, she nodded at her servant and watched him leave.

"Good night, my Master." She heard him purr, before he vanished. That old geezer would never change she feared. Integra couldn't stop herself from smiling a little, when she rose from her seat with aching bones and muscles, to retreat to her own rooms. Once again she had worked enough for this day and night.

When Alucard reached his and Seras bedroom he found her lying on the bed. Apparently she had been waiting for his return and presented herself in this wonderful, black negligée she already had slept in last night. "Welcome home, my king." The little minx greeted and motioned him to join her.

The old vampire wore his broadest grin when he approached his Draculina and joined her on the mattress. "I'm back, my queen."

Finally the No-Life King had found his one true No-Life Queen. All he could do was smile at her, kiss her and make love to her for all eternity... or at least until they had another quarrel. Alucard chuckled lowly and couldn't wait for this eternity to begin.

To be continued...?

Before I start with business... I am very sorry for the he/she confusion. I can't really see through it myself anymore o.O Next apoplogy goes to everyone that was surprised by Girlycards appearance. I haven't read an Alucard/Seras fic yet (except for one actually...) that coverd that topic. I found it rather amusing, writing about Girlycard and taking the liberty to soften Alucard a little. It is really hard to make Seras happy if her Master is always so mean. Anyways... I hope the POVs are now more clear. Seras POV is now clearly marked and everything else is a General POV. Now I can directly jump into the next topic... :)

Thank you so much for the response! I have never gotten so many reviews (yeah it's 5, so what?) within 3 days! You ppl are really great!

Guest: I hope I cleared everything up dear guest and hope that it is now better and easier to read. I still take the artistic liberty to write how I want, so General and Seras POV it shall be for me ;)

PinkTypewritter: Here you got more :) If the muse kisses me one more time, I'll write another chapter. We'll see ;)

ninjadaleburg: Ein herzliches Dankeschön an dich ;-* I am glad that I could inspire you with my little ficlet!

speedfanatic05: I only ship Alucard/Seras and a little bit Pip/Seras, but I can totally understand you shipping Alucard! I love him as well. I nearly don't want to share him with Seras XD

Shadow: It was one of my biggest concerns... Alucard too OOC? Will my readers like him that way? I hope I didn't take it too far with this chapter. This one felt way more OOC than the first chapter... I hope you still like it! And I will try to correct as much as possible, thank you for understanding 3 Happy reading!

While writing this 2nd chapter I decided to try that lemon from chapter one anyways. I'll inform you if and when I'll upload that. And come on, there surely will be a chapter three... I hope to finish this one soon. I can't promise when, but I will post it as soon as possibly.

Again, stay tuned, my follower Alucard lovers ;)

I don't own Hellsing. Hellsing is the property of Kouta Hirano and is not my intellectual property. There is no financial gain made from this nor will any be sought. This is for entertainment purposes only.

Again, thank you all so much!,
