-Several hours Later-
"Is this acceptable Uncle?" Mana asked as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Does it fit well?" The man asked as he stood with a measuring tape in his hands.
"It seems to fit well." Mana replied as she turned to look at the back of her uniform
Mana was measured and had a custom made uniform rush created. It was not the basic maid uniform, instead of a skirt there were shorts that went just above her knees. Attached to the shorts there were suspenders that held the shorts around her slim waist. A basic white button up shirt, a black vest and lastly a small red ribbon tied into a bow in place of a tie. Mana adjusted the red bow and smoothed her hair.
"Now Mana this is Sir Integra's first time having a female assistant within the Hellsing organization. It is important that you know what you need to do." Walter started.
"Of course." Mana said. Walter nodded.
"I know that my younger sister is somewhat hard to handle in some situations, but I assure you I am more calmer than she is and will not be so tough on you." Walter smiled.
Mana smiled as Walter talked about her mother, indeed she was a handful and it was interesting to see her mother work. She knew her mother was well known for information gathering, and her efficient ability to take down an enemy and make it seem like a natural cause. Her specialty was fast acting poisons that left no trace. Because her mother had to hold her reputation she was hard on Mana as she became older.
"You look just Kamilia." Walter said as he lightly stroked the side of Mana's face. Mana smiled gently realizing it has probably been quite a while since he has seen any of his family since they are scattered around the world.
"Come, I have lots to prepare you for." Walter said and opened the door. Mana took one more look at herself and followed Walter from the room.
"Most of our soldiers live in the soldier's quarters outside, but there are some that live inside, and most of the bedrooms are on the top floor. The study rooms are on the second floor. The Kitchen and eating facilities are located on the ground floor." Walter said as he walked down stairs. Mana quietly followed him while taking in all of the information he was giving her. She noticed where they were heading to, the basement.
"We're going to the basement?" Mana asked.
"Yes, there are more things down here that I must show you." Walter said as he slowly walked down another set of stairs.
Just as Mana set foot on the stairs leading to the basement she stopped, she narrowed her eyes as her senses went into high alert. A prying feeling tickled down her spine as she stood on the stair quickly glancing around she found nothing only the welcomed her. Walter turned to look at her from the bottom of the stairs darkness hiding part of his body. Pushing the prying feeling to the back of her mind she continued cautiously down the stairs.
"Does she feel the energy vibrating down here?" Walter thought as he watched her cautiously descend the stairs. Waiting for Mana to join him at the bottom of the stairs he disappeared into the darkness when she stood next to him, she blindly followed him into the darkness.
"Down here this is where customization of the weapons for Hellsing happens." Walter said moments later as he opened a door. The opened door revealed a small lab.
"It's small, but it is still lab." Mana thought to herself as her eyes glanced around the room. Her eyes darted from the prototype weapons and bullets that laid haphazardly on the table,but neatly. Walter noticing her wondering eyes smirked at the young woman.
Mana looked at Walter curious as to why he was smiling. Walter nodded to the long barrel gun that rested on the floor, Mana's eyes glanced at the weapon. It wasn't finished yet it was just the skeleton of the weapon, she could instantly tell that the gun was not for a normal person.
"That weapon..." Mana started.
"I would like your assistance designing ammo, and completing this prototype." Walter began.
"Of course." Mana replied quickly.
"Excellent. We'll start working on it tonight...also..." Walter nodded as he trailed off. Mana assumed there was something else in the basement that Walter was eluding to.
"Is there something else?" Mana asked keeping her curiosity hidden as much as possible. Her mother had hinted to the infamous Hellsing Monster that Walter worked with, but never said anything else.
"There is." Walter replied
"ano..." Mana started, as Walter looked at his pocket watch.
"The sun is setting...come with me Mana." Walter said and walked out. Mana followed.
"This is very important I advise you to follow this rule." he said.
"You have my full attention." Mana said to Walter.
"Never walk down here by yourself at night or on a full moon." Walter said as he looked over his shoulder at her. Mana looked at the older man looking sternly at her.
"This monster is serious then..." Mana thought to herself.
"I understand." Mana nodded.
"Good...It is very important that you follow that rule."Walter said as he stopped in front of a old wooden door and knocked.
"Come in."
A female voice echoed from behind the door catching Mana's attention, confused she looked at Walter who had entered the room leaving Mana outside.
"Miss Seras, Alucard will be upset if you don't start to consume these." Mana heard Walter say.
"I know, I know but I can't do it." Mana heard the woman named Seras say.
"Miss Seras..." Walter sighed.
"Is this the monster mother was referring to?" Mana thought to herself as she studied the woman in front of Walter.
"I would like you to meet a new member of Hellsing and my niece." As soon as Mana heard her cue she entered the room with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Mana Sayu Dornez-Mitsurugi." Mana said and bowed.
Seras looked at Mana and began to study her. Mana instantly noticed that something was different about Seras; she had pink-ish colored eyes almost red. Not knowing what kind of monster her mother was referring to she could only assume that Seras wasn't the monster.
"Hi my name is Seras Victoria" Seras said with a smile, Mana smiled and noticed two small elongated teeth.
"Is she Integra's new maid?" Seras asked
"In a sense yes." Walter replied.
"She's a vampire…" Mana thought to herself and started to think toning out the conversation that Seras and Walter were having.
Mana was more fixated on how Seras might have been changed. The who had changed her had to be close by otherwise what was tying Seras to the Hellsing Organization.
"Mana, This way." Walter said and walked out, Mana bowed to Seras and quickly followed Walter.
"Seras is new to Hellsing Alucard just recently changed her." Walter said
"Alucard?" Mana asked wondering if that was the person her mother referred to.
"Correct." he said and knocked on another door. Mana and Walter waited for a reply, none came, but Walter smiled and opened the door.
"Alucard did you enjoy your meal?" Walter asked.
"As always...oh you brought a visitor…" Alucard asked. Walter chuckled and nodded, Mana knew once again that was her cue to enter the room.
"Hello..." Mana started
"Mana...Mana Sayu Dornez-Mitsurugi." Alucard said smoothly.
"Nice to meet you... Alucard." Mana replied unsure to how he knew her name. A slow tingling feeling began to slink its way over her once again.
"Another Angel of death…hn" Alucard said looking at Walter, then to Mana.
"We're well-bred assassins, though I haven't been able to see Mana in combat though." Walter chuckled and looked at Mana.
Mana blushed, no one had seen her in combat of course she hadn't had the chance to except for that time after her graduation.
"I'm sure I'll make you proud Uncle Walter." Mana said, and then noticed that Alucard was staring at her, Mana avoided his deep crimson orbs.
"Mana this is Hellsing's top agent, Alucard." Walter said.
"This must be the person that…." Mana started.
"If you want to consider him a person, he's the Nosferatu." Walter cut in.
"Is he the real Nosferatu?" Mana thought to herself.
The real one. It might be a good idea to stop reading those fake trash vampire books girl.
Mana instantly looked up at Alucard, he was still staring at her but he was smirking
"She's Pure." Alucard said while standing up. Mana instantly stepped back amazed by his height, he had to be at least 6'7 maybe even taller. Walter chuckled
"She can defend herself, I'm sure." Walter said confident in Mana's unknown abilities.
"Hm. I would like to believe that." Alucard said and looked over Mana again with a smirk.
"I can defend myself very well." Mana added annoyed from being underestimated. Alucard ran his hand through his hair and crossed his arms. There was a moment of silence before Walter cleared his throat, breaking the silence.
"Well then we'll be leaving, be sure to see Sir Integra" Walter said as he walked out, Mana followed him. Alucard nodded and watched Mana walk out with Walter.
The next day Mana was already doing chores around the Hellsing Manor, She quickly made her way to Integra's office carrying a small tray. Mana knocked on the door to Sir Integra's office.
"Enter..."
Mana entered Integra's office easily balancing the tray with one hand as she walked over to Integra's desk and bowed.
"Your breakfast Sir Integra." Mana said as she set the began to set three china plates on Integra's desk. Integra looked at the food then at Mana.
"Eggs, toast, with lemon marmalade, sausage, ham, yogurt, and freshly brewed black tea," Mana said as she stepped back, bowing again.
"I see...thank you." Sir Integra said and grabbed a piece of toast and began read the newspaper.
"Did you need anything else Sir Integra?" Mana asked. Integra wave her hand to dismiss her. Mana bowed and began to leave.
"Mana...,"
"Yes Sir Integra?" Mana asked and stopped to look at her
"Come with me to my morning meeting." Integra said behind her newspaper.
"Oh...Are you sure you want me to go?" Mana asked.
"I told you to come with me," Integra said as she folded the newspaper and continued reading.
"ano...Yes Ma'm. I will go prepare myself." Mana said as she bowed and walked out. Integra grabbed another piece of toast as she spun around in her chair to look outside at the forest behind the Hellsing Manor.
"This is actually pretty good..."Integra said as she continued to eat the toast with the lemon marmalade.
