As he was walking, Issei looked to his right and saw a clothing store. He hummed in interest as something had caught his eye. At the store display laid a long black trench coat with shoulder pads and a raised studded collar. Issei checked his pockets, and pulled out his wallet. He sighed in relief.

"Huh. For a second there, I thought I had left my wallet at home."

He went inside the store, and walked over to the cashier.

"Excuse me?" The cashier looked up at Issei. Issei pointed to the black coat that had caught his eye.

"How much is that coat?" The cashier looked over at the coat.

"That's gonna be $320.75 with tax." Issei's eyes widened and he smiled. 'Really? That's it? What luck!'

He ran over to the trench coat, picked it up, and took out his money. After paying for the coat, Issei contently strolled out of the store. In only a few minutes did he make it home, and he went inside. Going up to his room, he closed his door, placing his new trench coat in his closet. As he looked inside of the coat, he smiled. "There's so many pockets. I could easily carry my guns in there."

'Issei.'

Issei blinked. 'Yeah?'

'There is something I must discuss with you.'

Issei stood still for a moment, and then he nodded.

'All right. Just let me get set up first.' Closing the door to his closet, Issei walked over to his bed, sat upon it, and closed his eyes.

Within Issei's Subconscious

In his descendant's subconscious sat Alucard in a throne-like chair. The No-Life King held a contemplative look in his eyes. Earlier on, before Issei had started on his way home, the vampire had sensed two demonic auras nearby. They didn't appear to be threatening at all towards Issei, but it did pique Alucard's curosity. Alucard had held back from telling Issei about the auras, watching to see if Issei could feel them. He had noticed that Issei had paused in his pace, and looked around. But then Issei had shrugged, giving Alucard the indication that Issei had not completely sensed it.

"Which means his senses haven't improved as of yet. We'll have to change that."

His musing was cut off as Issei appear in front of him. The hybrid vampire opened his eyes, and nodded to the elder vampire.

"What did you want to talk about?"

Alucard got comfortable in his throne.

"Earlier today, when you were about to depart from your educational institution, did you sense something abnormal?"

Issei looked down, and he adopted a thoughtful expression.

"Now that you mention it... I had the feeling that someone was watching me from behind. But I had assumed it was nothing and let it go."

He looked back up at Alucard.

"And from what I can tell, you noticed it as well. Otherwise you wouldn't have contacted me if you didn't. Hmm. So I wasn't just imagining things."

"Hmph. Indeed."

He paused for a minute.

"Obviously you can sense me, since I have merged with you. So there shouldn't be any reason you could never sense my presence, unless I chose to conceal my myself."

Issei nodded. "Yeah. That makes sense."

"Which brings me to my next point. You need to sharpen your senses." Issei's eyes widened. "Or more specifically, your ability to sense the supernatural. You have already honed your strength and speed capabilities. Your reflexes and ammunition reflexes have improved as well. You have been relying on your original human senses for too much. It is time for you to use your supernatural senses to its fullest extent."

Issei looked to the side, crossed his arms, and his eyes widened in realization.

"Meditation..."

Alucard rose a eyebrow, prompting Issei to elaborate.

"During my free time, or whenever I needed to get away from annoyances, I went to the park to clear my mind. So meditation could work."

Alucard smirked in amusement. "Perhaps."

Issei looked up at him. "By the way, what exactly did you sense earlier?"

Alucard smirked wider. "That would ruin the surprise. It's no fun if I just tell you. Let that be your motivation."

Issei sighed and shook his head, but he smiled as well.

"If you say so." His expression became serious. "I guess I'm off to the park then. That's the place where I usually meditate."

"Are you quite sure?"

Issei looked to his ancestor with a questioning glance.

"After all, that is the place where that woman killed you."

Issei's eyes narrowed into slits, and he tightened his fists. His eyes glowed with suppressed rage. The reminder of his near-death experience that was committed by the girl Yuuma Amano had never ceased to leave Issei's memory. Alucard looked on in slight amused interest as he felt the spike in his descendant's KI.

A few moments later, Issei settled down as his eyes dimmed, and he loosened his fists.

"It won't happen again. Not this time. I absolutely cannot." Alucard smirked at the hybrid vampire's declaration.

'The boy never ceases to amaze me.'

Issei looked up and his expression was calm yet determined.

"I won't let that happen. I won't be weak." Issei's figure began to dim. He looked Alucard in the eyes.

"I'll talk to you later." Alucard spared him a nod, and the hybrid vampire disappeared from his subconscious. Alucard smirked widely.

"Issei Hyoudou. You've far more potential. More than you know."

At The Park

Issei sat on the bench in a state of meditation. His eyes were closed in keen concentration. He inhaled, and then exhaled, calming his breath. He concentrated the energy within him, attempting to increase his sensitivity. He suddenly felt a surge of overwhelming energy signals. He opened his eyes, and they widened in shock. He could sense them! Issei grinned.

'Alright! I did it!'

2 Hours Later within Issei's Subconscious

"Calm down. You act as though you discovered what water tastes like."

Issei smiled wider, he was just so excited he learned how to increase his senses. Alucard just looked on in amusement. Issei's excitement was cut off as a questioning thought passed through his mind.

"Alucard? I need to ask you something." Alucard didn't respond, which pretty much meant as a signal to continue.

"You keep calling me your descendant. But I'm confused. How are we related?" Alucard was quiet for a moment, and then he looked down.

"Many years ago, I became infatuated with a woman by the name Wilhelmina Harker. I don't recall what was so special about her. Perhaps it was her beauty. Hmm. In order for her to become my servant, I transferred portions of my blood into her system, binding herself to me."

He smiled at the fond memory.

"Later on, a man named Abraham Van Hellsing had managed to defeat me, freeing Mina from servitude. And because of that she was able to live throughout her life. However, because Hellsing had not killed me, my essence within her bloodstream still existed. Eventually, she succumbed to becoming a vampire. However, she and her husband Jonathan, had conceived a child. A boy by the name of Quincy Harker. Although the boy may have inherited a portion of my blood, it was not strong enough to overtake him. Eventually, as the Harker gene passed on from generation to generation, so did the portion of my blood increase its influence. And then it resurfaced within you, Issei."

To say Issei was surprised was an understatement.

"So... you mean I'm also a descendant of not just you but Wilhelmina Harker...?" Alucard solemnly nodded. Issei collapsed on the floor in shock.

"My mother. Her maiden name was Harker." Alucard snorted.

"The gene must have not been strong enough to overwhelm her and transform her into a vampire."

Issei continued to look down on the floor.

"I just can't believe it..."

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Not much happening in this chapter. Just a little revelation about Issei's family lineage, and his improvement of his abilities. Next chapter, I will try to make it much longer. He is going to meet Rias, and the gang eventually. Anyway, have a good night.

Oh, and if you guys want to, share some ideas about who Issei should be paired with, or if he should get a harem. I just want to know what you guys think.
