Hear Me

Chapter 5: Missing Memories



The small figure in the darkened apartment stirred. Waking, she groaned and clutched her head. "Ow...my head hurts!" Sitting up slowly, Seras blinked taking in her surroundings. 'What the hell?', Seras wondered in confusion. She was at...home?! How'd she get here?



Barely remembering being brought home last night, she couldn't remember any of the events from the last few days and nights. Something nagged at her mind. Something important that should be recalled, but could not for whatever reason. The harder the blond thought, the more her head ached and pounded. "I've got to lay off; it'll come back in time. It has too." Somehow her voice didn't relay confidence to her brain or heart.



Taking her time to stand up, her legs shook as she took a few wobbly steps. It seemed they needed to slightly adjust before walking across the floor. After some time, when her legs had recovered, Seras nervously traced the steps to her bathroom where she could attend herself. Then with that deed out of the way, she headed to the kitchen to make some toast and strawberry jelly...her favorite flavor.



Pulling the toast out of the oven, since they'd already been buttered, she applied the jelly. Popping a bite into her mouth, she sighed at the delicious taste coating her mouth. It seemed forever since she'd had this particular treat. Finishing off her breakfast, she was going to her bedroom when the phone rang.



Picking the receiver up she answered. "Hello?"



"Seras? Thank god! I'm glad you're alright!", the male voice ran on and not giving her a chance to ask or answer anything.



"Dallas? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Seras was just a little worried about him. He usually didn't call her. And when he did, something was definitely happening.



"I was worried after the other night! Your cousins got into that huge fight with your boyfriend and trashed the hell out of the club!" Dallas kept prattling on and on about the damage and the awesomeness of the fight. "I tell you, Seras, we should have something like that on a regular basis. You know, like a prizefighter championship. The crowd went totally wild!" His excitement, however, didn't transfer to the blond as she didn't have a clue to what fight he was referring.



Seras, in her confusion, didn't realize her brows knitted up in concentration. Somethings missing, she thought, I don't know what, but it's there somewhere. What's going on here? She doesn't have a boyfriend. She certainly didn't remember the club getting trashed either! "But, Dallas, I don't have a boyfriend. And what the hell's up with the club? Are you sure? Because I don't recall a single thing."



"Do I need to come over, Seras? You don't sound like yourself." Dallas's concern kicked up a notch with this supposed brief memory loss. She remembered him, the club and her cousins, but not Alex. So what gives?



Screwing her eyes shut tight, the petite girl shook her head. "No, Dallas, I'll be fine. I'm just exhausted. We can talk about everything when I come in tonight, okay?"



There was a slight pause on Dallas' end. Hearing him expel a deep breath, he said, "Yeah, we'll talk about it tonight. If you need me, though, you better call me! I worry about you."



Letting go a small giggle, she replied, "I know. Don't worry. If I need, I'll call." Forcing her voice to be at it's brightest, she hoped to convince him everything's all peaches. Even if it wasn't.



"Okay. See you tonight at eight. You better be there. Bye." Still speaking in the older brother protective manner, Dallas hung up the phone still wondering about her well being.



Seras breathed a sigh of relief as she set the receiver back down in it's cradle. 'He took the bait. Whew! Too close as always, Dallas.' Getting her mind back on track, Seras padded barefoot back to her room. Checking the time, she was shocked to see that it was six thirty pm already! Where had the day gone? She'd slept the entire day away and not woke once. Now that was unusual for her! Entering her room, she went to dig in her closet for her work clothes. Triumphantly emerging with her white button up blouse and black pants, Seras lay them on the bed to go shower.



Feeling refreshed after her shower, she carefully dried off, wiping away all the remaining water from her body. Smiling she hummed a tune that she didn't know the origins or the singer. She couldn't recall a single detail. How unusual too! Seras was the queen of song and artists names. Where the hell was her gift on this particular tune? Shrugging her shoulders, she decided to let it go for now.



Pulling on her panties and bra, she put on her pants and shirt. Buttoning her shirt, she stared at her reflection in the full length mirror. Inside, something cried out that there was something wrong. Her own soul reflecting back at her screamed it's wrongness. Shaking her head to clear everything, she slipped her socks and shoes on. Suddenly she looked up at the silver surface. The haunted expression in her eyes frightened her. Screaming from frustration, Seras raised her fist and slammed it into the reflective pool.



Blood streamed down her fist. "Shit! Just what I need." Running to the kitchen, she grabbed a towel to wrap around the flowing cuts. Checking her sleeves, she was relieved that none had accumulated on her sleeves. Holding the towel tightly on her fist for several minutes, Seras winced as the pain set in. 'What have I done? I wouldn't normally do anything like this so what's wrong with me?'



Sharp pains sliced through her head. Flashes of a cruel blond woman with ice blue eyes , a vampire with black hair and red eyes wearing a strange red suit swerved through her memory. 'Who are they?',she wondered. The next scene freaked her out even more. She apparently had sung to a gorgeous black haired guy and even crawled all over his lap! 'What the fuck?', she continually asked herself. I don't understand. What does all this mean? All these questions and ponderings echoed constantly within her head.



Dismissing the uneasy feeling plaguing her, Seras plunged straight into her nightly routine. An hour later, the blond beauty was ready. Grabbing her purse, cell and keys off the counter, she turned off her lights; locking the door behind her. Walking out in the evening air, it called to her. Excitement rushed throughout her blood. Not knowing why, the petite girl wanted to run free. Someone or something was calling to her. She felt the call. It pulled at her very being. Unfortunately, she had to ignore whoever or whatever was calling her to their side. She had work to do. The side effects of real life. Damn!



Speeding her steps up, her heels clicked on the sidewalk, taking her in the direction of Ivory's. Smiling as she spotted the familiar spot, Seras strolled in through the employees entrance. Throwing her purse and things in her locker, she closed the door and slapped the padlock shut.



Wrapping her apron around her small waist, she tied it in place. Leaving the employee locker room, Seras's feet took her to the well known territory behind the bar. Nervously, she wiped her hands on her black apron. What did she have to be nervous about? Giggling nervously, she attracted the attention of her partner and fellow bartender, Dallas.



Enthusiastically greeting her, he sent her a genuinely warm smile. The kind of smile he always reserved just for her. "Seras! Yo, baby! Glad to see you made it!" His blue eyes twinkled in merriment. Stepping over to her, Dallas hugged her tightly. "God, girl, I was so worried about you! But, you're alright and I can see that for myself. So...everything's cool."



Wheezing, Seras whispered,"Can't.....breathe.....Dallas, too....tight. You're.....hugging....me.....too.....tight!"



"Oh, shit! I'm sorry! Just don't know my own strength." Releasing her, Dallas took a step back allowing her to get some much needed air.



Seras let air rush into her lungs. Thanks to Dallas, she'd almost damn near choked to death! Feeling the air, her lungs filled up sending the oxygen to the many body parts that required the precious gas. "Thanks, Dallas. For a minute there I thought I was a goner." Laughing she slapped his arm gently.



Relieved she was taking it as she was, the male bartender played along. Laughing with her, the two of them had a great time as always. Making drinks left and right, time passed quickly. Before she knew it, Seras glanced at her watch. It read eleven pm. "Is it really eleven o'clock, Dal?"



"Sure is babe. Having so much fun makes the time fly, doesn't it?" He was currently wiping down his portions of the counter and taking a moment to clean his utensils.



Disbelieving how much time had flown, she nodded. "Yeah." Grabbing her towel, she started wiping down her side of the bar. She was interrupted by two male voices.



"Seras! Hey girl, where've you been?"



"Yeah, we haven't seen you in a couple of days. Where'd you go?"



Looking up, she flashed the tall blond and brunette one of her mega watt smiles. "Hey Taylor! Hey Finn! You guys behaving tonight! You promised remember?" Seras was prone to treat her male cousins like she was their mother at times. Of course no one ever denied that they needed it...their real mother was let's just say not the disciplinarian type. She'd always let the boys run all over her. Their father, on the other hand, scolded and everything else that he could, but nothing ever worked.



Finn grinned flirtatiously at his female cousin. "Now, Seras, we wouldn't break a promise to you. We're as good as good can be."



"Finn, why would you think that smile would actually work on me? And I know you two. Better than you think! As to the good comment....you're probably out being really good at being bad. Now tell me how I'm doing?"



Chuckling, Taylor leaned over the bar. "Right on the money, Seras, as you always are. You're just too good." Hugging her, he whispered, "We're happy that you care enough to send you're very best."



"Taylor, you're as much of a smart ass as Finn over there. What am I going to do with the both of you." Shaking her head, she swatted Finn's hand as he reached out to swipe her drink. "How do you know where that's been and what's in it, huh?"



Placing his hand over his heart, Finn tossed out, "Seras, Seras, would you really poison your own beloved cousin? Your own flesh and blood? I'm wounded...really."



Glaring at the brunette with his forest green eyes, she stated matter of factly, "You will be wounded if you touch my drink again."



"Aren't you going to share?"



Shaking her head, she snatched her drink off the counter and put it underneath the bar. "Hell no! Get your own drink. That's what you've got money for, isn't it?



"Yeah. I just like to rag you. Get me a bloody Tequila Sunrise, if you please." Pulling out his money, he watched as Seras busied herself behind the bar.



Momentarily glancing up at Taylor, she asked him if he wanted anything to drink.



Replying, "Yeah. I'll take the same as Finn."



"Okay."



A minute later two bloody Tequila Sunrise's sat before them. Wiping her hands on her apron, she said, "That'll be nine fifty."



Finn handed her a twenty and told her to keep the change. The look on Seras's face was priceless over a ten dollar tip. "You're family. We take care of ours, Seras. Keep up the service and the tips will be overflowing."



"Finn, you almost make that sound perverted, thank you very much! I know it's not, but still." The petite blond smiled at her crazy cousin.



Finn winked at her. "You never know, sis. We all have perversions. All of us have our perverted sides, some are just willing to admit to them." Blowing her a kiss, he and Taylor walked off to join their friends at an already occupied table.



Dallas wondered if Seras would be up to a show tonight. Besides mixing drinks, performing was her specialty. "Seras?"



"Yes, Dallas?" She wondered what the handsome, vivacious man wanted.



"Are you going to sing later? I wasn't sure....so I didn't slate it. If you didn't feel up to it, I'll understand, but I hope you'd do it for me." Pouting, he worked his eyes and mouth to their best advantage.



Laughing, she wholeheartedly agreed. "Okay, okay, you win. I'll do it! That's low, Dallas. Stooping to children's tricks to get what you want. How pitiful." Her teasing admonishment caused him to snicker.



While the two bartenders teased each other back and forth, neither of them noticed when a cloaked presence entered Ivory's.



A pair of red eyes focused completely on the petite, busty blond bartender. Watching every move she made, the form growled low in it's throat when the male next to her dared to touch her arm! Apparently enjoying the attention from her fellow blond, Seras snickered at his jokes and lightly smacked the back of his head.



Stepping out of the shadows, Alucard revealed himself, wearing khaki pants and dark green button up shirt. Wearing dark loafers, his outfit was completed by the designer leather jacket he wore. He appeared dressed to kill. Going over to the bar, he stopped right in front of her.



"Good evening, Seras."



The deep male voice startled her. But what startled her more was the beauty in the tone of his voice. She felt it pulling her in, but to where? That, in itself, was another question. "Good evening. Can I help you, sir? What can I get you?"



"Don't you remember me?" Frankly, Alucard had been glad to see that she was alright. Walter had gotten word to him that she'd been seen on the way to her place of employment. And Walter, nice guy that he is, informed him as soon as he woke.



The blank look in her eyes showed no recognition at all. "No, I'm sorry. Should I know you from somewhere? I apologize if I should. Sometimes I'm not great with names and faces."



Behind his glasses, his red eyes narrowed. Quickly probing her mental pathways, he found anger a swift companion as he discovered the tampering of her mind! Swearing in his native language, he mentally cursed those responsible for this. Some vile person had tampered with Seras's memory wiping out all traces of him. That alone, pissed him off enough to break out into a rampage. But, he couldn't, due to his human master, Integra, she'd send him back into a bloodless torment for endless years should he even attempt. Smirking, he apologized. "No, I'm sorry. You looked like a girl I once knew. Sorry for the mix up. I'll take a Bloody Mary if you don't mind."



Seras's eyes blinked in confusion. "Wait. You said I looked like a girl you once knew, but called my name. We must know one another, somehow. Anyway, I'll get your drink right away." Reaching for the necessary ingredients, Seras briefly meditated about their conversation while mixing his drink. "What's your name? If you don't mind me asking."



"Not at all. Name's Alex. Alex Taylor." He knew she wouldn't get the purposely thrown in last name. He'd borrowed it from her cousin, not that she'd catch the significance.



Alex took his drink and paid her the money. Heading for a table close to the front of the stage, Alex prepared himself for a show he wouldn't forget. The sound of her voice was akin to angels singing in heavenly tones; filled with clarity, precision and passion. Sitting down, he waited patiently for what was to come, his angel would sing and breathe life into his dead soul.



Seras sent off more happy customers. Turning to find Dallas staring at her, she asked,"What?" Something was really off here tonight. She just wished she could figure it out.



"Don't you think you ought to be getting ready? You've got fifteen minutes until show time."



"Oh, man! I almost forgot! Thanks, Dallas, gotta run." Tearing off her apron, she ran to the backstage area to her dressing room.



Throwing open the door to her room, she thumbed through all her outfits. Dreamily smiling, she pulled out the one that stood out the most to her. That outfit seemed to call her name. Slipping it on, she put on the accompanying heels and she was ready.



Slowly walking to the stage, she inhaled a slow deep breath. For some reason, she was really nervous this night. Usually, her nerves never acted up or touched her. What was it about tonight? Everything messed up was happening tonight. Cocking her head up high, Seras felt her old confidence returning. Good, she thought, obviously, she was going to need every bit she could get.



Hearing Dallas announce her name, she went forward to claim the part of the night which was hers.



"Alright ladies and gentlemen, good evening to everyone! I know you're all excited about the entertainment, so let's get right down to it! Here's our very own lovely, talented Seras performing, Hear Me." Placing the mic back in it's cradle, the male applauded her along with everyone else.



Stepping out onto the stage, Seras inclined her head at all the enthusiastic applause. Standing directly in behind the mic stand, she sweetly smiled and spoke, "This is one of my all time favorite songs. I'd like to send this out to all the lonely girls out there waiting. Also, I'm sending this out to someone very special."



Nodding to the band, the song began. The piano keys rang out the first of the beautiful tune. One by one, the guitars and drums added to the musical composition. Then on cue, Seras sang out, her voice lifting up to the rafters.



You gotta be out there

You gotta be somewhere

Wherever you are

I'm waiting.......



Cause there are these nights when

I sing myself to sleep

And I'm hoping my dreams bring

You close to me

Are you listening?



Alex felt the stirrings of a once dead heart, beating in time with her song. He knew it's significance, but she didn't. That fact alone hurt like hell. This song had brought them together. Now it might tear them apart.....if she couldn't gain her memories again. Why was all this happening now? And who had caused her memory loss? Stranger yet the lapse only seemed to revolve around him which led Alucard to believe the perpetrator was someone who hated him enough to use Seras as a bargaining chip, using her against him in the hopes to bring him down. But Alucard was stout in the knowledge of his powers. He would win however he could. But he wouldn't risk the angel who salvaged his soul. And right now his angel needed him more than ever.



Hear me

I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down

Find me

I'm lost inside the crowd

It's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you to please

Hear me

Can you hear me?



Seras felt the strains of the song ripping into her heart. Tearing her soul into strips and tossing them to the void. Weary of being alone, she desperately wondered where was the one man who could understand and love her better than anyone? Crying inside, she hoped he was out in this crowd tonight. Certain she couldn't spend another night alone, she'd almost give herself to the next man who approached her in any form of sincerity. Pouring what she had left into the second voice, she prayed that someone would hear her.



At one point stirrings of familiarity rose, but she quickly squelched them. In ways, as she sang, she felt someone had heard her and had answered her. Only where was he? More importantly.....who was he? At this moment, all Seras wanted to do was leave work, go home, and go to bed. Her heart torn, conflicted and alone. Where are you, her soul cried out; tears welled as the pain of her loneliness and heartbreak increased



I used to be scared of

Letting someone in

But it gets so lonely

Being on my own

With no one to talk to and

No one to hold me

I'm not always strong

Oh I need you here

Are you listening?



Hear me

I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down

Find me

I'm lost inside the crowd

It's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you to please

Hear me

Can you hear me?



Alex admired the strong emotions she put into this song. He'd always loved that about her. So passionate about that and everything. She never went halfway. She sang as she lived. Full of life and love. He discreetly called her attention to him. Influencing her, Alex wanted her to come to him. What soul he possessed called to hers. A call between two desperate people needing love, and each other.



He'd been alone so long himself and he'd spent many of those years as a psychotic vampire eliminating targets and following his master's orders. Along the way he'd lost bits and pieces of the man he used to be. And Alucard counted on Seras' presence in his life wouldn't soften him, but make him fiercer in battle as he protected the woman who'd effortlessly captivated him. The one woman who'd ever truly capture him in every way possible.



Seras felt the pull from one person to another. Noticing the sharp dressed guy at the front table, she admired his looks. Dark, black hair which at the moment was secured at the nape of his neck by a small black ribbon. He was the same guy who'd addressed her at the bar earlier. Inexplicably, a sensation drew her towards him. Her heart beat faster, stronger emotion poured into her song, and her words exploded with pure, raw, power. Walking down the steps, Seras strolled up to his table addressing the rest of the song to him and him alone.



As she moved closer, Seras's outfit struck a chord in Alex's head. She'd worn it the first night he'd been serenaded by her. It was the white halter top dress sprinkled in sequins from the top to the hem. God, how he loved that dress! It showed off her best assets, which so happened to be all of them. He only wondered if she'd carry out the rest of that first meeting by allowing herself to sit gracefully in his lap, and giving him a view of the previously mentioned assets.



Sitting in his lap, Seras gently sang to him, begging him through song to hear what she's saying. Begging him, silently, to be the one she's looked for and the one she needs. Her mind didn't seem to recognize him, but her heart cried out that he was the one. He's the one who saved her and would save her again.



I'm restless and wild

I fall but I try

I need someone to understand

Can you hear me?

I'm lost in my thoughts

And baby I've fought

For all that I've got

Can you hear me?



Hear me

I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down

Find me

I'm lost inside the crowd

It's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you to please

Hear me

Can you hear me?



Finishing the final strains of the song, Seras ended it breathlessly. Her and Alex stared eye to eye. Each feeling the very feelings and emotions she'd just sung out about. "Thank you, Alex." Hesitantly, she rose from her perch. Taking the mic back to Dallas, she almost missed the loud, overly enthusiastic ovation the crowd was giving her. Back up on stage, she bowed, gesturing for the band to take theirs also. She'd always said they were a group....no individuals.



Two sets of eyes on the other side of the room were extremely displeased by what they saw. Finn watched Seras and Alex, their brief interaction and swore. "No fucking way, Taylor. I thought that problem was taken care of, you know!"



Narrowing his blue eyes, he looked at his younger brother. "So did I, Finn, so did I." Getting up from his chair, Taylor jerked Finn up. "Come on. We're going to assert our brotherly independence." The two brothers headed over in Alex and Seras's direction. But before they could get there, they vanished.



Astonished, Finn yelled, "What the hell? Where'd they go?" His head twisted this way and that in the club looking for some trace of his blond cousin's head, but he found nothing.



Calmly, Taylor stated,"Finn, let's split up, they couldn't have gotten far. We'll find her.....and him." The last two words of his sentence spoken in outright malice towards the male. After their last meeting, Taylor and Finn despised the dark haired bastard. There was just something about him that he wasn't telling.



Splitting off, the two brothers searched in the club questioning everyone that knew Seras about her whereabouts and came up empty handed.



Meanwhile, Seras was having the time of her life. Being walked home by the gorgeous man she'd sang her heart to, Seras felt the long nights had possible now paid off! All the lonely nights...maybe would be nonexistent.



Looking up, Seras suddenly realized they were at her apartment. "Wow, that was fast. I don't think I've ever walked it that fast before."



Winking at her, the much taller man teased, "Time flies when you're having fun."



"That's weird. My coworker says that to me all the time too. Anyway, I've had a great time tonight, Alex. I appreciate you walking me home, not that I need it or anything. But thanks all the same."



Feeling the tug and twinge at the base of his neck, Alex mentally hissed in disapproval. 'Damn, she would call now of all times.' Not wanting to leave her but feeling his obligation to the Hellsing family snap down into place, Alex kissed her.



"Seras, I have to go now. But, if it's alright with you, I'll come back later to see you."



"Sure. Anytime you want. Feel free to just drop on by and say hi!" Seras didn't comprehend the carte blanche she just offered to him on a silver platter. If she was lucky, she wouldn't come to regret that decision.



Exchanging sweet kisses, the couple hugged and parted. Seras went up into her apartment and Alucard rode the void to his master's office.



Two hours and ten freaks later, he'd cleaned up and found himself back on Seras's doorstep. Smirking, he slipped inside, wanting to surprise her.



Standing in the middle of her dining room, he started towards her bedroom when he heard a moan emanating from the couch. Phasing next to the overstuffed piece of furniture, he stared at her face highlighted by the moonlight.



Mischievously grinning, Alucard sat down beside her. Lightly brushing his lips against hers, he increased the pressure. Inwardly pleased when she moaned from the feelings that were being aroused.



The blond had been sleeping peacefully when she'd felt something lightly touch her mouth. Little by little, the kiss became harder and faster. Her eyes, heavy lidded, opened slightly. "Alex. You came." She sounded surprised and happy.



Kissing her forehead, nose and cheeks, he worked his way down to her luscious mouth. Wanting to tease her further towards the edge, Alex tantalizingly and agonizingly, slowly licking and kissing a trail down to her throat.



Moaning, Seras had never felt anything like this sweet, not so subtle seduction, but she loved it, needed it! Removing his hair band, Seras released his hair; running her hands through it, enjoying the silky strands between her fingers. She felt Alex gently massaging her breasts, teasing them to their ultimate perfection. She hadn't even realized that he'd gone underneath her night shirt to begin with...damn, the man is good!



Sitting her up, he used his hands to slip her shirt off an inch at a time. Smiling, Alex saw that she was returning the favor. She'd made short work of his shirt and buttons, ripping them completely to shreds! "Slow down, my little vixen. We've got all night." Alex's voice speared through her. Just the sound of it by itself, was enough to drive her to a sexual thrill.



Running her hands over his muscular chest, Seras decided to do a little exploring of her own. Getting closer, she kissed his neck, nipping lightly, while licking down to his chest. If only she knew how she was teasing him!



Alex fought hard for his infamous control. laying her back down, he slowly removed her pants and underwear. Planting wet kisses along her smooth, pale skin, he moved his hands to tease her inside. Tasting his way back up her intoxicating body, he joined his mouth with hers. Trading passion as he teased, he felt her body jerk. Knowing she was a virgin pleased him greatly. That he'd be the first to taste of her pleasures.



"Alex!" Seras's moans had long ceased being just that, they'd escalated into yells and screams. The things he was doing to her....she thought she'd pass out from the pleasure of everything. But if she happened to die, well, damn it all, at least she'd die happy! "Alex, please..please." She whimpered feeling a tight coil building in her lower abdomen, "Please, Alex, I need you! Now!"



Soon as he was assured she was ready for him, he was poised at her entrance. "This is going to hurt, Seras, and I'm sorry that I can't change that for you. But I promise, that the pain will vanish soon after, it really will."



Nervously, Seras nodded her assent.



Surging forward with a powerful stroke, he stopped for a moment. Hearing Seras's cry nearly tore him apart. But there wasn't much he could do to avoid that.



As he entered, Seras screamed in pain. Tears ran from her eyes. 'It feels like something ripped inside. Like I'm forever changed....and I've lost something I'll never get back. But I won't regret it....never.'



"Seras? Are you alright?" Alex was concerned for her. He, himself, wanted to cry at the pain she'd experienced from his hands. But he knew, all too soon, it'd be over .



Knowing the moment she'd adjusted to him, Alex moved back and forth. Faster and faster he moved. Sweat beading on the both of them.



Seras clutched at his back, gently scratching, the coiled pressure building again. Alex, inside of her, moving ever faster, bringing her to a fever pitch. Their bodies burning up, a feverish inferno threatened to engulf them if they didn't reach heaven soon. Seras sensed her time was near. The tight coil in her stomach was unraveling bringing her to her knees.



The final moment came. Seras and Alex achieved sexual nirvana screaming each other's names. Passions spent, they collapsed back onto the couch. Seras called to Alex,"Take me to bed please?"



Bowing his head as if he was granting her a wish, "Wish granted. I aim to please, you know." He picked her up bridal style and smiled at her.



Happily she replied,"You didn't have to aim at all and you know it!"



Carrying her into the bedroom, he laid her down and crawled in beside her. Pulling up the sheets, covering up their naked, exhausted bodies, Alex tenderly kissed her cheek and whispered, "Good night, Seras."



Sleepily she said,"Good, night, Alucard." Then she was gone for the night. It was amazing how quick she could fall asleep.



'Wait a minute! She called my name! She said Alucard!' His eyes sprang wide awake. 'Does that mean she remembered who I am? Maybe she's recovered a small portion of her memory that was lost. I guess I won't find out until tomorrow night. Cruel fate!'



Hours later and Alucard was still awake. Sensing the impending sunrise, he knew he had to go. Clothing himself and kissing her goodbye, he left her a note. Opening the black void, he let it swallow him, taking him home.



The black hole closed and Seras sat up yelling,"Alucard!" Tears in her eyes. She felt she'd lost him forever. What was going on here? Looking down, she wanted to know why in the hell she was naked! So many images hit her at once. "Oh, shit!" She muttered something like, "Help me!", before her memory blanked again and she hit the pillows in an unconscious sleep.







Note: Sorry about the not so detailed and short sex scene. I don't really do them that well so I hope you guys will understand. And I know that I wrote Alucard differently, much differently than usual, but he'll soon return to his regular battle ready self! :)
