A/N: I know that I had originally placed this as a Naruto story, but since the action will be in the Hellsing universe, I changer the category. I hope you guys like it so far, because I'm having fun! To tell you the truth I have no idea what the main plot is, but I'm looking forward to building it.
Chapter edited by snipa.
Thanks a lot for all the reviews! I'm expecting more :D:D
Integra stood in her office, quietly smoking a cigar and taking care of some unwanted paperwork, when the polite knock that could only belong to Walter was heard. "Come in, Walter."
"Good evening ,Sir Integral. I... I believe you should come and see this."
Lifting an elegant brow, Integra put her cigar out and lifted herself from the chair. "This had better be good."
"Oh, I assure you Sir, it will be... interesting."
As they descended the stairs to the lower levels of the house, Integra wondered if she wanted to see what had happened. Walter opened a door and Integra was stupefied. She saw Alucard near a bed with a woman on it. The woman looked to be a couple of years younger than herself than herself.
"Alucard..." her hiss was menacing, and the low tone in which she had said his name said nothing good of her mood. "not another one!"
"Master, it is so good to see you tonight. My mission was successful and rather, uneventful I might say. Actually, because of this girl here, I had nothing to do."
Yet again an aristocratic brow was arched as a frown appeared on her face. "Explain yourself!"
"This human girl has incredible powers, master. She killed a at least a hundred on ghouls and two freaks on her own. She had probably killed more, since our troops didn't have much action either." the ever present grin widened even more as he was Integra's amazed eyes. "She also took control of Police girl's mind."
Integra's eyes widened at the words Alucard's told her, amazed that a seemingly fragile girl like her could have so much power. "Are you sure she is human?"
"She looks human, smells human, but she's more."
"I see. Keep her here. We'll see who and what she is in the morning."
The next day came and passed, and as night descended, Ino opened her eyes.
"Urgh..." she groaned, taking a hand to her head, then realized she was in an unfamiliar room."Kuso!"
Her chakra levels were better, so she thought an escape was possible, but then again she had no idea where she was.
Ino didn't get the chance to finish her train of thought, when someone opened the door. Before they could enter, she was already chakra glued to the ceiling.
"What the? Walter, alert all guards! Our guest has ran away!"
From her position she could see that the one who spoke was a blond woman dressed in men's clothes.
"Yes, Sir Integra." The butler was just about to exit the room when Alucard materialized himself.
"There is no need to alert the troops. She is right here."
She saw him look up, and now that his hat and glasses were gone, Ino could see his blood red eyes. She decided that since she was caught, there was no need to hide anymore, so released herself and graciously landed on the floor.
Integra tried to hide her amazement the best she could. The girl wasn't too tall, but neither as short as Seras was. She had long blond hair, held up in a high ponytail and piercing sky blue eyes. Thin, and looking quite fragile, the girl inspired anything but the power Alucard said she had. However, at a closer look Integra could see a certain confidence and elegance in her posture, the type you see in life long warriors.
"Who are you?" Integra used her most demanding voice, imposing authority all the way to the bone.
Yet, the girl did not move a muscle. She looked Integra in the eye, yet expressed nothing. She was blank.
"What was your purpose in killing those freaks?" still nothing.
After a few moments, as if she analyzed all the possibilities her answer would take her to, the girl answered.
"They attacked me. I defended myself."
Integra gave a small nod. "Who do you work for? Did Iscariot send you to spy on me?"
That was when the girl's face reflected an emotion. Confuse. "I have no knowledge of whom Iscarion is."
"Where are you from? Your accent is strange."
Again, no answer. Out of patience, Integra gave Alucard the sign to read her thoughts, and apparently her servant found that order amusing since his grin widened as he circled the girl like a predator.
"I can't ,master. I can not read her mind. She won't let me."
Ino eyed the man suspiciously. What is he? And... if I tell them, would they believe me? No, I am a shinobi of Konoha, I will not betray my village no matter what! Not in this life, or the next! Her resolve strengthened, Ino decided to give them only bits of information.
"I am not from this world. I have been thrown here a year ago from another dimension. I managed to learn the language and some of the customs, but I still don't know much."
Interested at this change of attitude, Integra decided to give the girl a second chance.
"I would wish to continue this discussion in my office. My name is Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing. You may call me Sir, or Sir Integra."
Ino gave the woman a respectful bow. She saw that the woman was strong, much like Tsunade, and after she took a glimpse of her mind, she saw there were no malicious intentions there.
"A pleasure to meet you, Sir Integra. Yamanaka Ino. Ino is just fine." She then gave a small smile.
A bit surprised at the beginning, but recovering as fast as only Integra could, she answered with a stern voice. "Come."
They entered the large office with Waller in tow. Soon, Alucard entered the room through his favorite route, the walls. As Integra took a seat and lit a cigarette, she motioned for Ino to seat on one of the chairs.
"Yamanaka Ino, as I have said before, we continue the discussion here. I do not trust you, and I have no intention of trusting your presence here until you give me reason to do otherwise. Now tell me, who are you working for?"
Ino watched the woman, every ninja fiber of her being alert. She expected interrogation, torture, even death but she willed herself not to fear. They are not of my world, they know nothing of my world or Konoha. For them, I am an enemy, possibly a spy; Gain their trust and I gain another day to live, another chance to one day go back home.
With these thoughts firmly planted in her mind, Ino straightened her position even more and strengthened her mind barriers against the man called Alucard.
"I am a shinobi. A warrior born to fight and protect my village. As I said, I am not of this world, however, through a most unfortunate event, due to a jutsu, I was sent here."
"Jutsu?"
"Yes Sir Integra, jutsu. A jutsu is a....shinobi technique."
"Like the ones you did?" This time it was Alucard's smooth voice, and Ino could swear she felt the evil grin on his lips.
"Like the ones I did."
While taking another drag from her cigarette, Integra took a while to examine the girl in front of her. She looked relatively fragile, very easy to underestimate, but even her eyes could see the power hidden in her blue orbs. She is certainly more that meets the eye.
"What were you doing in Tunbridge during the ghoul infestation?"
Her eyes were looking straight into Itegra's inquiring ones, showing no intention of looking away. "As I said, I was sent here, and dropped in that town. Someone took care of me and taught me the language that I know speak. A few days ago, a group of people arrived into town, looking for a place to stay for the night. Their request was granted, and by the end of the night they had already killed half of the townsmen. They slaughtered them mercilessly, torturing them until they were near death, then turned them into the monsters you call ghouls. At first, I was taken by surprise and since I had no knowledge of my enemy, I was forced to fall back into the woods. I tried to save a few wounded people, but to my surprise, no matter how much I tried to heal them, they still transformed. At days, I planned my battle moves and prepared traps, at night I hunted them down. I realized soon that I was the only normal person in the area and that they were after me, trying at any cost to kill me or turn me as well. By all means I tried to keep that from happening as I was discovering their weaknesses. In the last days, mostly the night when the members of your organization arrived, I had became weakened and my chakra reserves were low, but I had managed to kill if not all, at least most of them. That is all."
It was like doing a mission report and Ino felt in her element as she described the facts one by one, stating the important events, not missing a thing. Seemingly, Integra was pleased as well since she addressed the kunoichi with a small smirk.
"I see that you have done this before, reporting."
She gave a sheepish laugh, remembering the countless mission rapports she had presented or written. "You have no idea."
Again, Integra was a bit surprised. The emotions of the girl standing in front of her seemed so volatile; it was almost strange. But then again, who was she to say what was strange and what was not, she had a madman as a servant.
"You mentioned something about chakra...."
"Ah, yes! Chakra is the spiritual energy. It's like the life force. A ninja with no chakra has nothing. Chakra blends with the life energy."
Alucard's grin grew wider. That is why her blood emanates such power...
"What about your abilities, Ino?"
"I apologize Sir Integra, but I can't share that information with you. Now, if you would please excuse me, I wish to return to my room."
With a hand sign, Integra dismissed her, motioning for Walter to lead the girl to her appointed room. After the two were gone, Integra turned to the grinning servant in the shadows.
"What are your thoughts about this one, Alucard? You brought her."
"I believe she is one to keep. He power is amazing. I have never seen such in a human."
"Hmmm... however, one with such power is also hard to control and by all means I don't know any method to control her power."
Another drag and Alucard could already see the wheels spinning in Integra's head, analyzing everything to make the best decision. He already knew that his master was short on men, and the girl would be a most precious acquisition to the organization, but now he waited to see what idea Integra came up with as to keep the girl here and keep her loyal.
"Servant, you will present Yamanaka Ino with the proposition of working for us. I do not accept failure! Do whatever it takes!!"
For a moment, Alucard was very surprised of his master's demand, but soon realized that Integra was serious. After giving a bow and flashing his trademark grin, he disappeared into the shadows and to Ino's room.
Inside her bathroom, Ino watched the woman looking at her from the mirror. "You are not going home anymore, accept it, live with it. Forget everyone you knew and start all over....But...I can't just leave them behind, I can't forget them...."
"Some might say you are crazy, talking to yourself like that."
Oh, she knew to whom that voice belonged to. She imagined him standing there, all smug, grinning at her, happy with his smart remark. Why you...
With ninja speed, she turned around, aiming a punch to his jaw, sending the vampire flying to the other end of the room.
Oh, how much joy that punch brought him. He felt his broken jaw meld back and for a brief moment just relished in the pain brought to him by such strength. Then, his grin grew wider as he rose and walked toward her, measuring her posture, the leisure in which she waited for a battle to start; like she'd been doing it all life.
"Nasty character, Blondie!"
"Speak for yourself, baka!"
"Talking words in your tongue won't save you." with menacing steps, he approached her and with each step he saw bits of her confidence slip away. Soon she'll be begging, just like all the others.
He disappeared and quickly materialized behind her, grabbing her hands and twisting them painfully behind her back.
"It wasn't very nice of you to cause me pain, Blondie. Now I must repay the service done." with those words, he twisted her wrist, causing the ligaments to twist painfully and the bone to crack.
The shrill sound of pain coming from her rosy lips was like melody to his ears, and watching her pretty face contorted in pain stirred the beast inside of him. It made his fangs grow larger, and intensified the need for her blood.
He was pulled back to reality when he felt pain seep into his hands. He was forced to release her arm, but he did receive a nasty gash in his chest. Ignoring the pain, he saw the girl jump back in the opposite side of the room as her hand glowed with a blue aura, healing the broken arm meticulously.
"Aren't you going to beg me to spare your life, Blondie?"
The look she gave him was razor sharp and dripping with poison."I never beg! I will never bow to the unworthy! That is my ninja way!" The glow on her hand became sharper, her body falling into a battle stance unknown to Alucard.
"Good." His grin widened tenfold. "Welcome to Hellsing, Blondie. From now on we are allies so keep your energy for what matters."
"N-nani?" Surprised was an understatement. Ino had no idea what the tall man was talking about. "Aren't you going to ask me if I want to?"
Halfway out of the room Alucard turned, the now usual grin widened. "I know you do."
Her mouth fell open in amazement, then was quickly replaced with anger.
The vampire's grin grew even wider when her fist went up in the air, and she began screaming profanities in her language while waving her fist at him. A maniacal laugh rumbled in his chest when she finally articulated words that he could understand. "I'll get you for getting inside my mind! Stop standing there and laughing!!"
He disappeared before the blond actually came after him and the agreement fell; his master wouldn't like it if he failed.
The next morning, Ino woke up to see a uniform on a nearby chair. It was similar to Seras's, the Hellsing code of arms firmly in place. She quickly stripped of her clothes, took a shower and then took another look at the uniform. "It's....uncomfortable."
Her eyes scanned the room for something sharp. Finally, she found a (pair of) scissor(s) in one of the drawers and began to cut the skirt on the side for better leg movement. Beneath the skirt she wore a pair of short, black clinging shorts similar to her ninja shorts. Army boots completed the outfit.
After finishing with all these, Ino's stomach gave a low rumble, reminding her that she hadn't eaten in a long time.
Since she knew little to nothing about the layout of the house, she was a bit afraid not to get lost, but the lack of food made her exit the room and wander the corridors in search of the kitchen. Damn this house is big!
"Miss Yamanaka, I see the uniform fits you."
Ino quickly turned around, surprised she had not heard the old retainer. Then again, all she could think about was food, but she still gave herself a mental slap. "Oh, Walter. Yes, they are perfect! How did you know my size?"
"Ah, that. Alucard told me."
Indeed, it took a moment to process the information, but when she did.... "WHAT??" … Ino unleashed one of the screams that made her legendary in Konoha. "That perverted, evil, annoying bastard!!!" With her fist high into the air, Ino demanded justice. "Where is he? I'll teach him!!"
With his voice as polite as ever, Walter tried to get the kunoichi's attention. "Miss Yamanaka, Alucard is sleeping for the day."
"Huh? What do you mean sleeping? It's already late!!"
Remembering that Ino had no idea of what was happening in this world, Walter began guiding her toward the kitchen. "Come, have something to eat, and Sir Integra will later explain everything."
After eating something, Ino was guided to Integra's office where she made acquaintance with the basics. What vampires were, and how you could kill them. Integra also explained everything else there is to know about vampire knowledge and then put her into theme with their freak problem. Thoughtfully, Ino assimilated every detail, amazing Integra with how fast she could learn and memorize things. When faced with her surprised look, Ino just gave a giggle and a: "It's part of my training. Usually on missions you have to remember specific details really quick."
As night came, Ino was sent to meet with Seras and get acquainted with the troops. Before leaving, Integra stopped her for last minute information.
"Tomorrow night, you will join Alucard and Seras in missions together with the troops. Walter will provide you with guns."
"No." She stood in the doorway, posture stiff.
"No?"
Yamanaka Ino was a bossy woman. Even though while on Tsunade's tutelage, she had to temper herself since Tsunade was even more bossy, and her wrath was something not to be desired, Ino was still bossy, by nature. "I will not use fire weapons. I am a shinobi; I am a weapon. I will have my own weapons back."
Integra never enjoyed when her men disobeyed her orders, but she had a vague feeling that if she didn't go with her request, Ino would not fight at all.
"Very well. I will arrange with Walter for new weapons. He will search for you to ask about specifications."
A satisfied grin, one that Integra realized, look so much alike Alucard's, only less insane, crossed Ino's lips.
"Thank you, Sir Integra."
The night came and went by, so did the other day.
She had met the troops, a bunch of leering perverts. Also, Walter came to her to ask for weapon design. She made him a sketch, showing him how to make kunai, shuriken, senbon and a black nodachi . All the weapons were made of holy silver and had been dipped in holy water.
Strapping the kunai holster to her leg, and the rest of the shuriken, kunai and senbon, together with a few exploding tags she had recently made into her weapon's pouch, and the nodachi strapped to her belt in the back. Ino was ready to battle and currently waiting for Seras and the rest of the troops to arrive.
"Oh, hey there beautiful! You're here early."
Ino didn't like the Wild Geese much. They were loud, unorganized and mostly a bunch of perverts. However she payed little attention to them. They stood no chance in a fight with her, so they didn't pose much of a threat.
The thought barely left her mind that she heard a low growl behind her. Growl? She abruptly turned around, her blond pony tail flying wildly. "You?!?"
Alucard had the man pinned to the wall, fangs bared while he spoke in a low, clear voice. "I believe you owe the lady an apology."
"I-I'm s-sory...I d-didn't mean to!" The man was shuttering like a leaf when Alucard released him to the floor.
Just in time as Seras entered the hallway, the rest of the Geese behind her with Pip as their leader.
"Master, Ino! Good evening!"
Seras's greeting was ignored by both parties. Ino flashed daggers at Alucard while he grinned madly at her.
"You! I have no need for you to watch my back!"
"On the contrary Blondie, you will realize it is very profitable if I do."
"Hmph! I can take care of myself just fine!" Her voice seemed to raise in volume with each word. "I have no need of your help! I'd better not be in the debt of someone like you!!"
And each time Ino's voice became louder, his grin grew wider, fangs glinting in the light. "Like me, heh? A monster??"
"Keh, monster? A monster doesn't choose to be like he is! You are an ingrate, a psychotic madman with severe sadistic and masochistic tendencies!"
He laughed. The kind of laugh that sent chills on your spine. The kind of laugh that would freeze the blood in your veins. Finally, after a few moments he stopped."And Blondie, you choose to be a bitch! Care to challenge that?" He took out his Jackal to emphasize the meaning.
The nodachi was out of it's sheath with a distinguish sound that felt like music to Ino's ears. "Oh, I'm on it skinny!"
"Stop this nonsense! Alucard! What is the meaning of this??"
The booming voice of Integra filled the hallway, efficiently quieting everyone and getting the attention of both parties.
"Ah, Master." Alucard kept his gun aimed at Ino, but his grin regressed to his normal one. "I was just teaching Blondie here a lesson in gratitude."
"Gratitude ain't something I'm going to show you!"
"Enough!" She had enough of both their childish antics. "You are forbidden to fight each other! Keep that temper for the enemy!!" When Integra was sure that both Alucard and Ino were calm and saw their weapons being put away, she continued, now in a more usual tone. "You know the mission! Search and destroy! May God and your Majesty be with you. Amen."
As Alucard gave him master a mocking bow, Ino quickly turned around, nose high in the air, and with incredible strength, grabbed Seras by the hand and dragged her along.
"Come Seras, the level of testosterone is much to high for a girl to handle around here. Besides," she added with a charming smile, nearly hugging the young fledging. "I am bored to death, and a little chat would do me good."
Amazed that Ino, a human girl could drag her on like that, Seras felt the need to comply and even shied away a bit at the girl's boldness. "Ummm, sure..." Truth be told, she did need someone to talk to.
"Great!" With a high squeal and sparkles in her eyes, Ino began the series of questions that got out even the darkest secret out of somebody. "Now, first you just have to tell me how you became a vampire!"
"Well you see, Master...."
"Ah, that git! Let's change the subject. Tell me about you. You know Seras, I have the feeling that we will be very good friends."
From afar, Alucard watched the two girls enter the car that transported the troops with Ino keeping Seras in a vice grip and bombarding her with questions, making his fledging submit to her will and answer. He had no doubt that the strange, long haired girl would be able to rob Seras of even her darkest secrets, but seeing her so exuberant was a change.
"This will be an interesting night."
A/N: This is it! PLease tell me your opinions and if you have some ideas, I'd be more than happy to listen. :D
