Chapter 2-explanations

"What the hell is going on out here?!" Madam Integra could be a very scary person when she chose to be, and having Alucard follow her like a blood-red shadow only made her form more intimidating.

One of the mercenaries whispered to the man beside him. "I've got money on the vampire and Integra. You up for those odds?"

"Shut up," the other man warned. Integra was glaring at the Wild Geese.

"What do I pay you idiots for? Last I checked, it wasn't to piss your pants when something falls out of the sky! Fearless soldiers my ass." Most of the mercenaries looked away in shame. Bernadotte continued smoking.

Integra then turned her attention to the two boys. "Now you: you have a lot of fucking nerve trespassing on my land."

Neku frowned. "Well, I didn't so much 'trespass' as I did 'plummet.'" Integra snapped her fingers and Alucard aimed his pistol between Neku's eyes.

"Now is no time to play coy, boy," she growled. Neku's eyes focused on Alucard, and his hand hovered over the pocket his pins lied in. He could feel a fight boiling up. Joshua noticed this and grabbed Neku's wrist. He looked into Neku's eyes, still smiling, and shook his head slowly. Neku tore his hand out of Joshua's grip, but didn't go for his pins.

Joshua turned his gaze to Alucard. His eyes darted over his body, studying him. Alucard noticed this and gave a nasty smile, showing off his fangs.

Joshua chuckled shortly. "Vampire."

Alucard turned his head. "Yes."

"Interesting," Josh said simply.

Integra's expression softened, becoming less angry and more quizzical. "You know vampires?" she asked.

"I know how to spot one," Joshua said, flipping his hair nonchalantly. "Large, shady clothing, red eyes, fangs. They aren't exactly subtle." He turned to face Seras, who was watching the scene unfold tensely, prepared to assist her master if need be. "Well, most of the time." His grin widened and he nodded to her. Her eyebrows furrowed. Who is this kid? She thought. Curious person.

A vampire, Neku thought. That's a new one. Then again, I can't say it's very shocking. "So then, would you mind telling Batty here to get his gun out of my face?" Neku asked sarcastically. The gun thrust forward and knocked Neku onto the ground. Alucard towered over him, his trigger finger itching, and with a toothy scowl across his face. A dark aura engulfed him like flames. Neku gripped his ribs in pain, but secretly palmed a pin during his fall. Vampire or not, he could cut his head off with a simple hand motion. But before either of them could make a move, Joshua stepped between them with his warm smile and offered a hand to Neku.

"That was rude Neku. We aren't here to antagonize these people."

Neku swatted his hand away. "I don't even know why we ARE here!" He pushed himself off the ground in a defiant way, but his wincing from the pain in his ribs nullified the intimidation he was going for. "Why couldn't you take Mr. Hanekoma* or someone else? I think you know enough people who would gladly come on you're stupid road trip instead of me."

"Mr. Hanekoma was occupied, and you seemed like the only other person I knew competent enough for this. You should be flattered!"

After seeing all this Integra pulled out a new cigar and lit it. Come to think of it, she thought aimlessly, why didn't I bring Walter out here? He lights these for me, and doesn't act out when people call him children's insults like "Batty."

"Calm down Alucard," she said flatly.

"Of course, my Master." He holstered his guns, scowling.

Joshua rubbed his head and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry about my friend here," Joshua laughed. ("I'm not your friend," Neku mumbled inaudibly, massaging his ribs.) "He isn't what you would call the most tactful of people."

Integra looked down at Neku, analyzing his body and the headphones that even she could hear music playing out of. It's a wonder that he isn't completely deaf, she thought. He looked up at her, with a look that combined disdain and disinterest. Neku was fond of that look. "I can see that," Integra said to Joshua. Neku brushed off her words and pressed his headphones closer to his ears.

"In any case," Joshua continued, "We didn't mean to land on your property Miss. You see we're looking for a friend of mine." That's news to me, Neku thought, nodding his head to the beat of his music. "She lives here in London, somewhere."

"Well we can't help you find her," Integra shot.

"Oh, we weren't asking you to," Joshua smiled innocently. "In fact, we should be going now. Sorry for disturbing your men." He turned around and signaled Neku that they were leaving.

"Hold on just a moment," Integra said, pulling out her cigar. "Even if you two were human I wouldn't let you leave after trespassing on my land."

Joshua's smile widened secretly. "I don't know what you mean."

"Don't play stupid boy; no human could summon a portal, or survive the fall through it." She looked at Neku. "And neither could any human use such powerful pyromancy. The both of you will be detained here until we find out what you are and what your purpose is. Men!" The Wild Geese stood at attention. "Search them and take them to the dungeon."

"Yes Madam Hellsing!" The men grabbed their guns and moved toward the two. Neku reached into his pocket and plucked out a pin. The Wild Geese tensed and aimed their guns at Neku.

Joshua grabbed Neku's wrist. "If you think you can fight off this many men on your own, you're much dumber than I thought." Neku looked at Joshua in frustration. "Just act like it's a game and play along, hmm." He gave a little wink and released Neku's arm. With some hesitation, Neku replaced the pin in his pocket.

The two were thoroughly searched, but all they found were Neku's pins, which they hastily took from him. They also took his headphones, annoying Neku immensely. Joshua didn't have anything on him, not even lint in his pockets. They were then led into the Hellsing Manor and downstairs into the dungeons.

Integra watched them go while casually smoking her cigar. Her butler, Walter, walked up beside her.

"New guests, Miss Integra?"

"Trespassers, Walter. Non-human ones." She turned to him. "Get whatever information you can out of them. I don't terribly care how."

Walter smiled and bowed. "Of course Madam." Integra noticed Seras watching the boys. She looked intrigued by the sight of them, like she was suddenly more interested in them than anything else.

"And take Seras with you. It'd be good for her to learn the way we interrogate."

"Of course Madam. Miss Victoria!" Seras snapped out of her focus. "Do come along."

"Alright." Seras ran up to Walter and the two made their way into the Hellsing dungeons. Alucard appeared behind Integra, watching them go.

"Shall I go and monitor them Master?"

"I doubt it's necessary. Walter and Seras can hold their own against two boys." She turned to her servant. "Unless you think that they're too much for them?"

Alucard smiled. His eyes shone through his red sunglasses like bulbs. "No, of course not. They don't pose much of a threat."

Integra eyed Alucard carefully. She had the feeling that there was something Alucard wasn't telling her. Alucard simply disappeared into mist and vanished back to his room, reflecting on the pin he saw in the one boy's hand. Quite the familiar pin.

Down in the dungeon, Joshua and Neku sat across a stark wooden table from the old butler Walter. Seras leaned against the stone wall behind him, watching the two. Joshua in turn watched her.

"Alright boys," Walter began, "allow me to lay down the rules: I will ask you a question, you will give me an answer. If the answer you give doesn't satisfy me, I will fish out the answer I want. Do we understand each other?"

"Of course," Joshua said happily, turning his eyes away from Seras. Neku nodded, still annoyed about the loss of his headphones. His ears felt naked.

"Very good. First question: what are your names?"

"Yoshiya Kiryu," Joshua replied instantly. "But my friends call me Joshua. You may as well." His gaze turned back to Seras. She suddenly began sweating under his glance and fidgeted against the wall.

Walter looked at the silent Neku. "And you?" Neku stayed silent for a while, eyes closed as if he were concentrating.

After a moment he responded. "Neku Sakuraba." His eyes remained closed.

"Very good," Walter said. "Now, where do you come from?"

"Shibuya, Japan," Joshua said, again turning his eyes back to Walter.

"That's quite a way from here," Walter said. "How did you two young ones make that trip?"

Neku opened his eyes. "Well, I actually 'tripped' and landed here."

"We came by portal," Joshua injected.

Walter leaned forward. "That's quite the accomplishment. How'd you manage that little trick?" Joshua smiled openly.

"Just something I know how to do. It's not so hard when you know how." Joshua looked at Seras again. She was quickly becoming irritated the more he watched her. His eyes were like mysterious daggers; she knew they had meaning, but they were unreadable, and they just kept piercing through her heart and head.

"Hmm," Walter hummed, unaware of Seras' turmoil. "Very well then, I'll cut to the chase: why are you here?"

"Well," Joshua said, this time keeping his eyes on Seras. "As I told your master outside, I'm here to find my friend. I didn't even mean to fall in your estate, that's just where the portal appeared..."

Seras suddenly couldn't take anymore and cut in, yelling. "Stop staring at me, why do you keep staring at me?!"

"Miss Victoria!" Walter yelled. Joshua was still staring at Seras, straight into her eyes. What was he doing to her? His eyes were so calm, his smile so warm, and yet Seras' head was exploding. She gripped it, trying to keep her brain from bursting out.

"Gyaaaaaaaah!" She screamed. Walter jumped up and took her in his arms. He led her outside the room and shut the door. Neku could hear her cries through the stone.

"Sorry about that," Joshua said. "I don't much care for questioning."

"Of course you don't." Neku leaned back and studied the cracks in the ceiling.

Joshua pulled out his phone, which he didn't have when the mercenaries searched him, and started texting. He spoke to Neku. "Do you still have your *Player Pin?"

Neku pulled at his shirt collar, revealing a black pin hidden under his shirt. It had a strange white skull on the front. "Of course."

Joshua glanced at him, smiling conspiratorially. "So you know why we're here than?"

Neku looked back at Joshua. "Yep. I couldn't read her."

His smile grew wider, and a picture appeared on Joshua's phone. "Of course you couldn't." He studied the picture. She was so young when it was taken, it seemed unreal.

"Seras Victoria, London's lost composer."


Definition time!

Players pin-

The Player Pin is the first pin that every Player acquires as he or she starts the Reapers' Game. It is the only pin shown in the game that does not require a pact in order to has an extra Player Pin, however, other players only need one for a normal Game. The Player Pin prevents the wielder from being scanned or imprinted. This also repels the effects of the 'O-pin'.

The Player Pin has one active psych called Scan. It is a (B) psych, requiring the pin to be tapped in order to activate. Once a Player scans, he or she will be able to tune into the thoughts of others and scan for Noise to battle.

Sanae Hanekoma-Sanae Hanekoma is a major character in The World Ends with You. He is the Reapers' Game's Producer. He also influenced Neku by being his idol as the artist CAT who influenced many Pins in the game. He is also known as a fallen angel.
