A Servants Love

R:
Integra's eyes felt heavy as she watched the resting form of her lover. She had not slept that night, forcing herself to keep a steady watch, should anything in his manner change over it's course. The gun, along with a proper set of clothes had been brought to the room. After their 'arrival' had come a tray of tea that the butler stubbornly shoved into her hands as she denied him further access into the room. Taking care of the vampire was -her- sworn duty, if something was to happen she would risk her well being before any other.

It seemed like ages before someone knocked at the door. Integra slowly stood up, tired but too prideful to show it. Once again Walter stood at the doorway, his hands behind his back. 'He hasn't slept either', the heiress thought to herself as she waited for his remark. The older male studied her for a few moments before being shaken out of his concerned self commentary by a frowning Master. "It is midday, Sir Integra. Is there anything you wish for me to bring you?"
Integra blinked, surprised that she had remained awake this long. "Food, please. And something for Alucard, I will undo his restraints after it is brought. Inform the others." Walter gave a simple nod and turned, followed by the sound of the blond heiress shutting the door once more.

D:
It would be another couple of moments in silence for Integral before Alucard finally began to stir. Giving out a weak growl and then a groan when he tried to get up, having forgotten the restraints. Laying still he opened his eyes fully, his vision blurry causing his head to spin. His vision would slowly clear after a few more moments.. his eyes dull but his pupils were slitted once again. He needed blood.. a great deal of it. His body was going to send him into a frenzy if he couldn't get it soon. He didn't need that happening at all, especially with Integral right beside him. Remembering that, he looked over at her and gave a faint smile, the tip of his fangs showing. "Good day Integral.."

R:
Integra sat at his side, blinking for a few moments as his voice broke the silence. Turning her head she looked down at him with lidded eyes. "Alucard." Her mouth was drawn straight as she stared at him, eyes searching his face. "Walter will be here shortly with your..'breakfast'." Her body slouched slightly in the chair before she heard the expected knock at the door. With a sigh, she rose her chair once again. She stepped back, allowing the middle aged man to enter the room, a rolling tray in his grip. "Please be quick, Walter", she instructed him, taking a cup of tea as he passed by her. "Yes, Sir Integra. Will you need anything else", he responded in his usual composed manner. Integra shook her head. "No. This is enough. Have you addressed the others in the manor?" The speckled man nodded, stopping the cart by her chair. With a glance the pair exchanged their silent manners; Walter leaving soon after.

Integra returned to Alucard's side as the door was shut behind her. Taking one last sip from her cup, she gazed over at the tray, only lightly appreciating Walter's humor by including a wine glass among the heated blood. "On your honor, Alucard. Am I safe to release the restraints now?" She would trust him enough to do as he expressed.

D:
Alucard nodded to her, knowing full well she had all rights to ask that question from him. "You are." being all he said as he waited for her to remove the restraints, he wanted up in order to stretch. Not to mention there was something he wanted to do before she had a chance to escape from his room..

R:
She did not look at him as she undid each of the restraints, and continued in the same manner as she stepped back from the coffin. Reaching for the cart, she pulled it closer to his coffin. "Here..if it is not enough..", her eyes glanced over the bags. "I will get more for you." She retreated to the table, her eyes and ears open to any sudden movement.

D:
Alucard slowly sat up, his eyes glowing when he saw the blood. Picking up a bag he broke the spout on it and began to sip from it. Resting his back against the top of his coffin, he looked to her and gave a sigh. When he was done this bag of blood she was in for it.. He would launch his attack then. First however he needed his strength..

R:
Integra's eyes closed as she brought the delicate china cup to her lips once more, trying not stare at the silver pistol lying there for 'emergency'. Head lifting she finally gazed back at the vampire, watching him as he devoured his own meal. He had not yet made any movement or attempts yet, which was a small relief to her worries.

D:
As soon as his blood was done.. he would move. Phasing behind her, he gently wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. Realizing it was a risky move, he just wanted to so badly that he didn't care. He would risk his unlife just to do those small actions.. he wanted to show her that while he was still insane as always.. He had still controlled himself for her sake. "Integral.. please forgive me for the other night.. I didn't mean to frighten or worry you."

R:
Her fingers clenched the cup in her grasp as she saw..and then felt the vampire behind her. His kiss caused her jaw to set. Her pride required her to be strong, she would not listen to his words or fall into temptations. For his sanity and her safety, she would not falter. "Unhand me", she commanded, pulling herself away from his hold. "Regardless of what you want, I am concerned. You are in danger, and I must worry over you and the safety of others in the same respect."

D:
Alucard felt a strange sting in his heart when she pulled away and was cold once more. He had expected such but he knew she was right..Though it didn't mean he wasn't pissed off about it. Clenching his jaw he moved away from her, closing the lid on his coffin as he grabbed a bag of blood. Conjuring up his usual attire, he placed one in the chest pocket of his coat before grabbing his hat and glasses. "I have work to do. Good day.. Master." with that he would walk towards the far wall of his room, phasing through. He didn't care if she would be pissed at him for leaving without permission, he didn't care if she seethed for days.
She could sick the damned hounds of hell after him for all he cared! He wasn't angry with her.. he was mad at the situation and how it had damaged their relationship. Especially given the events the night before. ,i>-I will grow stronger. I won't allow whatever is attacking to overcome me.-

R:
Integra felt a coldness wash over he back as he released her and turned immediately to face him, eyes wide as she noticed the hat upon his head. "Alucard, you are not to le--", words were cut short as the vampire left her in the room, alone. She slung the cup to the ground in frustration, her legs carrying her fast to and out of the room. "Alucard!!", she screamed at the top of her lungs, furious and worried over what had just occurred. Her heart raced as she ascended the stairwell to the main floor.

D:
Alucard however had gone to the training area. The men keeping their distance but watching him carefully. He didn't care. Fury in his eyes he tossed his hat and glasses aside, undoing his tie as well. -I have to focus. I need to learn to shut it away.- he growled loudly, the men jumping in shock. - I won't allow this to come between her and I! After so many years.. I won't allow my chance to be ruined by some unseen enemy!- he went to the equipment, made strong enough and just so that he too could train when he wished. Not that he did because the men were usually down here using it, but he had to.

After a moment, he stood shirtless, his training begun as he took off with godly speed. Attacking the machinery physically as his shadows swirled around him like hellfire from below.His goal was simple.. Contain his energy while his body was doing something else. Feeling the seals pulse as he neared his level limit, he didn't care if he felt pain from them. It would only serve to better his training. Then he could deal with agony while still controlling his energy.. which is what he needed to be able to do to protect the woman he loved..

R:
Her body shook as she stood in the main hall, head lifted as if she could simply locate the vampire by will. 'Where is he?', she thought angrily. In a second's time Walter rushed to her side. "Sir Integra! The men have just informed me.." Integra's head turned to the older man, her brows furrowed. "Where is he, Walter?", she demanded, her tone calm despite her obvious manner. The butler's stern look caught her off guard, making the heiress step back. Head dropping, she inhaled, calming herself. Holding on to the bit of earned peace, she raised it again, waiting for his reply. Walter's hand moved to his side. "I just received word that he is in the training area. Miss Victoria has already moved to assess the situation." Turning his body, he began to walk off towards the area, Integra soon at his heels.

D:
Alucard was in a full out sweat with how hard he trained. Rare for the vampire king nowadays. Not paying attention to the scared Police girl and the men, he didn't even care when he felt Walter and Integral coming. Focusing hard on his energy, which had increased and now surrounded the area around him, eyes and shadows squirmed and crawled around the area. Tendrils still swirling around his legs only larger. Growling, his eyes glowed with a bright light, his pupils slitted to the point where they looked reptilian. He just kept training harder, faster.. if he was going to be restrained and weak for days.. he wanted it to be because he had worn himself out protecting the ones he cared for.. Not some cowardly attack!

R:
Integra entered the training area, her hands clenched at her sides. She and Walter were given only a single glimpse as they passed through the crowd to stand in the front, bare witnesses to the havoc that could only be Alucard's fury. The blond woman was silent as she watched the shadows move like appendages, still astounded, no matter how many times she had witnessed it, by the dark magic that was her ultimate weapon. Seras stepped up to her side. "The men need orders, sir..", she asked in the softest of tones Integra imagined that the Police Girl could manage at that time. Blue eyes closed off the visual before. "They are to wait for my word", she instructed the young vampire. She was lost, Alucard's attack was not directed at anyone, but just what was he doing?

D:
Alucard would eventually slow down, finally looking solid once again. He felt like he was dying again from the stress and pain his body was going through. -No.. I have to succeed. This is one mission I cannot fail!- forcing himself to pick up the pace again, slowly the shadows and eyes on the floor would seem to be sucked into something.. The seals pulsing brightly which would signify to Integral he was reaching his level limit. He could go no further then what he was at now, and even then he should have stopped long before.

The machinery was taking a great deal of damage, more then it should have been able to. However, Abraham had made sure that it would hold up to the task, so Alucard didn't care how hard he attacked it. Kicks, Punches, elbows, anything and anyway he could attack was being used. The eyes would gradually all disappear, being sucked into something as well. His gloves having been mostly torn away with the abuse they had suffered through out the training, blood freely dripped from his knuckles and palms from the damage inflicted.

R:
Integra opened her eyes again, carefully watching the fury Alucard was unleashing on the equipment. Her eyes locked with the runes placed on his hand. 'What am I to do?', she questioned herself. Brows lowered in confusion. 'Is he..trying to train himself against another attack?' "The men are to stand down. Tell them in no way are they to attack him", she announced, her hand raised. "Alucard..", she whispered only to herself, unsure of the next measure she should take.

D:
Finally after a few minutes of struggle, the tendrils lashing around him would begin to shrink, gradually disappearing as he continued to train. -Now..to..hold it back..- he let out a growl, his fangs able to be seen as he did so. Now was the hard part. How does one hold back all their energy.. when its being used to push against you? Grimacing as the pain magnified, it was worse then the other nights attack..Good. He wanted it to be. His Aura would become visible to even the humans eyes as a large black energy surrounding him, but even it would begin to recede.. The seals finally ceasing their glow. Stopping, Alucard panted heavily, holding his chest, having made himself breathe to aid and also hinder him. He still didn't acknowledge any of them.. simply standing there trying to steady himself again. Hair hiding his face, he kept his mind focused on his energy.. Forcing a new line to appear on his Seals. It was temporary and able to be controlled by him, but it would aid him for the time being.

R:
Integra stood still as the rest of her men took a step in ready retreat. She did not need special abilities to know that they were afraid, if she had not known the vampire as she did, she would be among them. Pride held her still as it did Walter beside her. They watched as the No Life King's energy receded, leaving them paused in breath as the man behind the madness panted out his own. 'Is he done?', she wondered, taking a step forward 'What is this all for?' Walter's hand shot out to her arm, catching the blond heiress off guard. "I do not think it would be wise to approach him just yet, Sir Hellsing", he replied; Integra noticed that his other hand had been placed into his pocket, possibly readying his wires if they were to be needed.

D:
Alucard turned on his heel quickly, still breathing fairly heavy. Going to his belongings, he picked up a bag of blood, not bothering to use the spout. Biting through the plastic, he began to get dressed again, the blood bag hanging from his mouth. He still didn't care, his eyes still holding he fury they did while training..but they were more dull. He was tired and sore that was for sure.. all he wanted to do was sit back and drink his fill then cuddle the woman he loved. Not that he could but it was at least a thought he still fancied.

Shooting a glare to one man that started to get sick from seeing him drink the blood so easily. Out of spite he threw the now emptied bag at the man, causing it to pass out and fall backwards. Reaching down for another one he did the same, pulling his coat back on as though everything were normal. After another moment, the bag was empty again and he simply threw it to the ground, the shadows absorbing it when it hit. At last he placed his hat back on and his glasses, his hair hanging down his shoulders and back as he headed towards the group.. Making Walter uneasy as he had seen the look in the No Life Kings eyes..

R:
It was Walter's face that caused her to turn back to watch the red-garbed vampire approach the group. She lifted her chin, still curious as to what he had been hoping to accomplish in the 'exercise'. The question stuck in her throat as her eyes met his. She let a small sigh slip as they were covered by the orange-tinted glasses. Eyes dropping just briefly, she inhaled, forcing her pride to stay.Blue eyes flickered back to his face as she tried her best to look composed. "Are you satisfied now, Alucard?"

D:
Alucard would say nothing, just stop in front of her. Raising his hand he turned it so that the back of his hand was able to be seen clearly to her and Walter. Showing them the black line under the others where one of his original seals had been erased. A replacement had been made. Having done that he walked past them in silence, Seras stupidly trying to stop him and being shoved out of his way. Not too roughly surprisingly.. just boredly. Simply placing his hand on her shoulder and moving her as he continued on his way without losing a step. Removing the last bag of blood from his coat, he bit into it as he walked towards his room.

R:
Her head dropped to study the mark before lifting again to stare back into the red eyes hidden behind the glasses. She was surprised, to say the very least.. he was trying on his own to fight off the issue. As he passed her by Integra's head remained frozen in it's stare, even as she heard the small cry from Seras being pushed to a side. It wasn't until the butler's hand set on her shoulder that her thoughts were broken. She said nothing as she turned to him, and found no response from his end, only a calm gaze. With a simple turn the blond woman followed after her monster, quietly preparing her words.

D:
Once Alucard reached his room, he grabbed yet another bag of blood, resting on the top of his coffin he didn't care that his door was open or that Integral was on his heels. Tossing his hat away he decided he wasn't interested in going outside anymore.. He just wanted to relax for once in a very long time. Considering having a hot bath for a change, he probably reeked of sweat and blood now. Not that he personally cared all too much, but he did care about being clean. Removing his coat, vest and tie he moved to remove his boots. Setting them near the rest of the clothes. Getting up once again, he removed the tattered remains of his gloves, letting them be absorbed as he headed for the door once more.

R:
Integra stopped at his door, hesitant to enter. He had not seemed in the best of moods, yet she..pushing her timid behavior aside, opened the door, ready to enter. She was stopped, however, as she noticed his form returning to pass through the frame. Her hands went up as if to stop him. "Are..", she bit her tongue, still noticing that his mood was less than welcoming. Her eyes softened "Are you alright? How..why did you.."

D:
Alucard simply bowed his head to catch her lips with his. Moving past her slowly afterward he spoke. "I told you Integral.. I refuse to hurt you. I won't take the chance." he rubbed the back of his hands a bit as he got used to the seal again. Looking at her over his shoulder he spoke again. "I'm going to go have a bath.. I wouldn't mind some company if you aren't tired of me yet.." waiting for her reply, he stood there in silence.

R:
Her hand raised up to touch her mouth before moving to pinch her bottom lip as he asked her the question. She should not take the chance..but he had reinforced the seal.. yet.. Her eyes closed and her body turned so she could face his back. He had gone through so much to show his willingness to keep her safe despite his nature. Integra brought her hand to his shoulder. "You confuse concern with exhaustion. I am not tired of you."

D:
Turning he gave her a weak smile." No I don't, I just know concern turns into exhaustion." with that he bent down,picking her up carefully he simply held her to his chest. He knew he should be conserving his energy but he wanted to hold her at least. "That being said, I think you could use a relaxing bath as much as I." he lowered his head and kissed her cheek as he walked down the hall way. Phasing them through the door, he used his shadows to move the large lock. The bathroom was a dull place, so summoning his shadows once again he had them bring some of the candles from his room. Forcing them to flare to life, he sat her down gently before moving to turn the water on and put the plug in.

R:
Integra opened her mouth to protest as she was lifted, but was silenced by his kiss on her cheek. Blue eyes looked up at the taller form as they were shifted into a bathroom, turning at the candles being brought to life around them. She felt a small relief as he sat her down, starting the bath. "Shouldn't you rest yourself? I am not so blind as to have not noticed the ordeal taking its toll on you in the training room.. and after last night.." She frowned, reaching for his arm, waiting for him to turn as her eyes reflected the gratitude she felt for him at that moment.

D:
Feeling her touch on his arm, he turned to look at her calmly. "I was raised in an era of war and bloodshed. While I am sore once again as though I have just returned from battle.." he sighed softly. "I have almost missed this type of aching. It reminds me of older days." he touched the surface of the water, making sure it was not too cold. Then he chuckled tiredly. "I am not a good judge at this, My body doesn't register hot and cold as you might." he moved away from the tub a bit. "Mind making sure?"

R:
Integra nodded and stood, stepping in front of her vampire as she touched the water. Sitting at the edge she reached over, turning the water knobs more. Dropping her hand, she shifted the new temperature through the tub, watching the level rise for a bit before looking up to Alucard. She smiled, not entirely finding his words strange. As the water reached her wrist, she turned back to the tub, turning off the faucet as she moved to stand again. "It is fine now."

D:
Smiling a bit, he gave her a nod before removing his shirt. A strange scent would fill the air.. something like chamomile and lavender, yet there was no smoke. Moving closer to her, he would lean down with his shirt hanging off his elbows. His hair falling down him again making him seem like an angel of darkness as his crimson gaze met her blue one. He was distracting her while he used his magic once more.. Bringing his hand up he brushed her cheek softly, the water behind her being decorated with red rose petals.."The candle light always brings out the red of your lips.." he smiled before kissing her gently, his sliding around her to gently hold her to him. Closing his eyes for once during this tender moment he opened them when he let go.

R:
Integra's cheeks felt hot as he kissed her, her mind struggling between thinking about what was to soon come and the new scent lingering in the air. Her hands went to his arms as she was let go, sliding his shirt away from his arms. "Hmm..", she chimed as the shirt was dropped nearby. Her eyes returned to his as her hands adjusted at his waist, pulling gently at the button there. "Are they now?" She laughed softy as her hands left his pants, reaching up to undo the tie about her neck.

D:
Purring gently to her he removed the tight leather about his legs, chuckling at her comment. "And your eyes.. glitter so brightly.." he murmured in her ear as he moved to get into the tub slowly. Laying on his back as he stared up at her. Thankful for the large size of the tub, there would be tons of room for both of them. Rose petals hiding all but his chest of sculpted marble though there were a few resting on his lower chest.

R:
"Go on, your words do such wonders for my vanity.." Her faced lowered as she undid the buttons down her shirt. "Or would that be fingers?." The shirt and her jacket were discarded as she turned slightly in his direction, not as embarrassed by her state now as she had been in the earlier moments. Next came her pants, which slid easily enough down her legs; tossed along with the rest. Integra's manner grew serious as her fingers touched the straps of her camisole, freezing slightly Eyes drawing away from the vampire, she removed the undergarment, pressuring herself not to look like a blushing fool as soon as her underwear joined the growing pile.
Eyes returning to Alucard, she slipped into the opposite end, much too embarrassed to join him directly.

D:
Alucard kept his honor as Integral took her undergarments off, not that he hadn't seen her up close before.. just out of habit and respect for his lover. Smiling to her, he brought a hand up to brush his hair back, a couple of spirals falling down his face. "I never need daylight .. thoughts of you keep me warm even in the grave.." he sat up slowly so as not to splash the water about too much. Leaning forward he placed a hand against the wall above their heads, nuzzling her ear as he spoke softly, sweetly to her. "You are the greatest beauty I have seen in my life..and unlife. I mean that whole-heartedly." with that he kissed her cheek, careful that he didn't slip as he moved his head to do so.

R:
His cold breath across her ear caused the blond to shiver. "You may stop now, as my fingers have done their job..", she remarked, her head turning to his instinctively. Warmed hands lifted to run through the dark veil of hair about her, settling on his shoulders. "Or would you like to hear my own remarks?" A smirk teased the corners of her mouth up, she had forgotten her nudity for the moment. Smile fading, she pressed her lips to his. "My count.."

D:
Alucard quirked a brow curiously to her remark, shaking his head lightly. "That was not my intention Integral.." he gazed into her eyes for a moment. "It was truth." when she mentioned her own remarks, his eyebrow once again raised. "Now I am truly curious.. what could such a fair maiden say to a beast such as I?" his accent kicked in very slightly, only raising on some of the letters when he spoke. "Don't tell me my breath reeks." he chuckled as he moved his head back a bit after her kiss.

R:
Integra's brows lowered at his joke and she lifted her head, trying hard to ignore it. "Even with his..less than pleasurable qualities..", she started, her gaze dropping to his mouth. "She cannot deny that he is still handsome..", she continued, her hand running down his arm. "Perhaps it's the unbreakable strength he shows in battle, the curious and alluring nature of his insanity..or that, in the back of her mind, she desires the darkness as much as it her." Integra's lips lifted to brush down her monster's neck. "Love me, Alucard.."

D:
Alucard's eyes flared to life when she spoke of her..interests.. Feeling her lips at his neck he stiffened.. giving a soft growl of pleasure to her as he brought his head down to kiss along her jawline. Lifting his other hand he trailed his fingertips across the skin on her collarbone. God he wanted to take her! Moving his lips down her neck, he stopped just in the crook of her shoulder. "Do not worry.." he whispered to her as he gently traced his fangs across the tender skin. Showing her just how sharp they truly were.

Moving his mouth away he would breathe on the area softly, enough to give her a chill. Kissing down her chest, he brought a hand up to gently cup her side, fingertips gradually moving to her breast. Nibbling at her collarbone carefully, he longed for a taste of her blood.. badly.. but he was content as he was. Hands slowly moving across her body to caress her every curve, he smiled. "The greatest artist could never catch a glimpse of your beauty on canvas.." he hooked his arm around her back and pulled her against his strong and toned chest.

R:
Integra sighed at his touches, chest raising at his bites..how little worry did pass her mind at that moment. Her arms wrapped about his shoulders as he took her in his arms and gasped softly against the sensation she was not yet used to. "To hell with the artist..",she murmured, bold as she pressed herself into his hold. "The only 'glimpse' I care for is yours.." Hands curled themselves in his hair, Integra was surprised by her body's natural reaction to him. A coy smile caught itself on her lips. "How tired are you?"

D:
Alucard smirked at her comment about the artist. Growling again in lust as he felt her press to him. Looking down at her face he grinned widely. "It seems I'm not very tired.. In fact I'm wide awake." he chuckled. "You have that affect on me.. as well as others it seems." he snickered as he kissed her neck again, growling into her neck so she could feel the vibrations. Pushing against her lightly so as not to hurt her he waited for her to continue her train of thought a loud.

R:
"Glad to know I have everyone's attention..", she shot back. Her eyes closed and head tilted as he muffled the growl into her neck. "I trust you", she whispered, lips remaining pursed as she pressed her hand gently at the back of his head. "I trust you.." Her lower body rolled into is, she had given up all hope of retaining her normal manners around him.

D:
Growling deeply, he pressed her back against the cool tile behind her, moving his arm to lift her up and hold her hips to his. He was still much stronger then a human.. even if he was a bit worn out. Nipping at her neck he clamped onto her just enough that he could cause suction.. not enough to draw blood. Though greatly tempted just to leave a small scratch.. a promise was a promise. He of of all people was not one to lie or break his word.. "Integral.." his voice was much deeper.. more feral as he took in a ragged breath after releasing her neck.

R:
Integra shivered as her warmed skin hit the cool surface of the tile. Her fingers untangled themselves from his hair, dropping to scratch lightly at his back as he held his mouth to her throat..her trust was doing wonders for the experience, thickening the heiresses mind with any -but- her usual worries. His voice made her eyes flicker open. Hands pausing at his shoulders she dipped her head slightly, hoping she had not done anything wrong. "Alucard?"

D:
Closing his eyes he moved his mouth away from her neck area entirely.. the color in his iris' swirling from the cruel inner torment he was in."Your blood is beckoning.. and I am turning a deaf ear.. that's all.." he captured her lips in his own as he lifted her again, this time laying back fully so that she was straddling his hips. Neck resting on the rim at the top of the tub, most of his body was submerged and surrounded by rose petals which seemed to taunt him with their color.. Raising his hips he rubbed against her core, chuckling darkly as he lowered his hands to her hips. "You know Integral.. there is a reason my tongue can lengthen.. Care to see?"

R:
Integra's kissed back eagerly as he shifted their position yet again. A blush set across her body, from head to toe at his suggestion. Not one to be defeated, the stubborn blond gripped what she could of the tub's sides, staring defiantly back at the humored man. Her hips answered his tease as she quirked a brow. "Boasting as usual, hmm Alucard?"

D:
Alucard simply snickered again when she made her quip. "Not boasting.. merely stating a fact." with that he would slip under the water, happy he didn't need to breathe. Pulling her upwards suddenly, he didn't care if the water splashed out. Tongue slithering out to play with her bundle of nerves, the warm water only helping his efforts.

R:
Blue eyes shot wide open as the vampire disappeared under to the water, much to her surprise. Integra's hand gripped the tub's side as she was lifted, given no time to breathe as her body was lifted up. "A-Alucard..?", the usual stoic woman shuddered, completely off her guard by his 'attack'. She moaned, but willed her body to remain still above him. "Wha-what an awful t-trick..", she muttered mostly to herself before biting into her bottom lip.

D:
While his vision was blurry, he could still sense and partially see the pleasure she was all ready getting from his actions. Laughing mentally he slid more of his snake-like tongue out, manipulating it so that the tip of his tongue was deep within her core playing with her inner spot. All the while the more flat part of it was playing with her nerves. Hands grasping her hips firmly to keep her steady, he prepared for his next trick.

R:
Integra's head fell back as she fought the urge to moan. "What..are you doing to me..?", she questioned at last, already panting heavily between her words. Lifting a hand from the tub's side, she clutched at her chest, finding it increasingly hard to keep herself from crying out at his tongue's movements against her. Her fingers scratched their way down her stomach, eventually disappearing into the water to tangle in the vampire's dark hair.

D:
Carefully moving his legs, Integral would find her own being shifted onto his shoulders as he kneeled. Holding her in the air so that the contrast between the warm water and cold air would add to the experience. Slowly he would use the little bit of water in his mouth to keep her core warm and help him get rid of it. Arms holding her still, it wouldn't matter how much she squirmed she would not fall. It would help both of them slowly dry off as well.. or at least him anyways. Growling against her sensitive flesh he would concentrate the force of his vibrations through his tongue to heighten her pleasure. Wondering how much more she could take.

R:
Head jerking forward as she felt herself being lifted into the air. "Alucard!", she gasped, her warmed body hitting the cold air. A chill ran it's way up her back as she groaned in pleasure; mixed with the vibration between her legs, the heiress could barely think. Her legs clenched around him as the peak began to built in her stomach, she was becoming much too dizzy.. "Let..let me.." Unable stop herself, Integra's hand grabbed at her lover's head as her body froze at it's climax, breath catching in throat.

D:
Sliding his tongue out he smirked as he moved her down to his chest. Holding her in his arms he let go when he thought she wasn't going to collapse and got out. Grabbing a towel he wrapped it around his waist. Water running down his chiseled body from the dark locks she loved to grab. Turning to smile at her he quirked a brow. "Now do you think I was boasting Integral?"

R:
She needed to breathe..just breathe.. Her eyes turned,barely registering the towel clad vampire as her chest rose and fell for a few silent moments. 'Did he want something?' The blond woman stared at him blankly as her senses slowly returned to her, head resting against the tile behind her. "Evil..", she muttered as she began to calm down. "Positively evil." A smile rose little by little to the master's face."And I thought -you- were the one in need of a bath", she commented, turning her face away with a laugh.

D:
Alucard smiled to her and chuckled. "Yes, that's what I am. It's also why you love me." he smirked deviously towards her. "or I wouldn't be able to perform such acts." with that he slid a bit of his tongue over his fang. Going to a cupboard he reached up and grabbed a small bottle hidden in the back. "Now you'll see how evil I truly am." with that he moved back and placed the towel on its rack, slipping back into the tub with her carefully. Turning the cap on the top of the bottle, the sweet smell of cinnamon and ylang-ylang was released. Pouring some into the palm of his hand he rubbed his palms together after setting the bottle down. "Hold still." he smiled, knowing that there was something very special about this lotion..

R:
Her eyes had closed the second his towel began to move, only opening as she felt him re-enter the tub. She quirked a brow at him, dropping her attention to his hands. "I doubt you'll find me very objective to do otherwise at this moment, Alucard..", she shot back at him, dropping her arms into the water at either side of her body. As the scents hit her nose, she drew back her head gently. "What on earth have you planned now?"

D:
Smirking he reached out and gently clasped her shoulders. Pulling her forward gently he slid his hands down her shoulder blades. "Turn your back to me and find out.. Unless of course you'd rather I start at the front." he snickered a bit as he slowly slid his hands down her arms. It was a special type of massaging lotion. She would see the effects later on in the evening when she went to bed.

R:
Integra groaned. "I don't want to turn around", she whined childishly, yet did so despite her complaint. A hand reached up to lift her hair away from her back. "What is this..it has a nice scent", she complimented, her eyes closing again. Turning her head, she tried to watch the vampire wondering just what sort of trick he had planned for her this time.

D:
Alucard smiled and kissed her cheek. "Homemade. You'll find out what it does later.." he chuckled as he stroked her back lovingly with it, rubbing and massaging her neck before moving to her lower back. Sliding his hands gently across her ribs he brought them up to caress her breasts as he whispered in her ear. "Let me put it this way.. You won't be cold tonight if you think of me.." he dipped his hands into the water and then cupped some to wash it off.. Though she would still smell like it. With a hint of something only vampires could pick up on. His scent.. after all there was a reason the lotion was a diluted red. What he said however, as she would find out, was literal. It would also serve as a stronger connection to him.. she would be able to hear his thoughts.

R:
The heiress smiled softly at her lover's comment. Blue eyes closed slowly as his hands across her sides and chest, lips pursing. ,i>'Like I need this..', she thought to herself, dropping her hair as he went to wash the lotion from her. "And what of yourself, Alucard?" Shifting her body about to the side, she smirked, eyes gazing at his lips. "Regretfully I have no spell lotion..", she humored him, claiming his lips with her own.

D:
Leaning back against the far end of the tub after she kissed him, he smirked. "I'll be fine without it." though as any man would, he was starting to get a little..frustrated.. after the number of times she had finished and he hadn't. While he was used to such tension.. he wasn't use to it THAT much. As his lower regions.."pointed" out, though he was thankful the tub was deep enough the water and the rose petals hid it. Not wanting to seem like some young eager schoolboy.

R:
"Really? Enlighten me on something.." Her face drew serious as she studied his eyes. Leaning forward, she dropped a hand to his chest, drawing it down with her eyes. "Is it a vampire's nature only to please?" Integra's head tilted to the side as her gaze flickered back to his. "Or are you scared, Count?" She smirked again, her hand disappearing to the top of his thigh. "Is it that you do not trust yourself? Or do not trust the inexperienced?"

D:
Alucard's eyes widened when at last her hand rested on his thigh. He almost jumped away.. almost. He was too strong and experienced to be so skittish. After a moment though of seeing her smirk, he closed his eyes and turned his head, a slight frown forming. Taking a moment to get his words out he sighed. "All of the above I suppose." he shook his head lightly. "While I wish to.. I don't want to hurt you.." he stopped for a moment and looked back to her, his face serious. "Call it what you wish, say I am frightened if you will Integral.." he looked away again. "But I don't know how gentle I could be with you if I got.. carried away. I don't want to risk it."

R:
She studied him again for a moment's time before sighing. Removing her hand, she turned away, she wouldn't do anything further to tease him. It was too cruel.. "And what of later, Alucard?", she replied removing herself from the tub to take a towel. Wrapping it about her body, she turned, staring down at him. "I don't want to do something if in the end, you are left the disappointed party. Even as.. your Master..I want to be fair." She frowned, casting her eyes to the side. "I think it would be best if I left.."

D:
Alucard got up grabbing his towel and wrapping it around himself, bending down to pull the plug as the petals disappeared. Turning to face her again he gave her a soft smile.. something almost innocent on his face. "While I am nervous about such a thing and have my own thoughts on the act, It doesn't mean I am not thinking of ways to aid it." he went silent for a moment before he started to laugh suddenly, his face that of great humor. "Just don't tell me you're into bondage, That's one thing I am quite tired of." he calmed himself as he stepped closer to her, serious once more. "Integral, in the end I will do what it takes to control myself. It is up to you however that decides what..privileges.. I am granted. I accept that."

R:
Integra's eyes met with his smile, her serious nature cracking as she laughed at the bondage quip. "If that had any affect on me do you think I would have waited.." Lips paused in their speech as he continued. A soft smile graced her lips as she raised a hand to his face. "You are my lover, Alucard. I trust you enough to care for what duty I must keep as a knight and as a woman of this house." Her thumb grazed over his bottom lip as she continued. "I am yours, and will remain so..I will grant you as much as you can allow yourself with a good conscience. My only barrier is my pride.."

D:
Smiling to her once again he moved to gently kiss her cheek. "Then we shall see how next time turns out I guess." he chuckled before adding a final note to that sentence. "Perhaps that "next time" will be sooner then you think." he winked at her playfully as he picked her clothes up for her, grabbing his own and heading for the door. "Don't toss and turn too much Integral.." he grinned evilly as he left, heading for his room. A blushing Police Girl who was passing by, stood nervously in place as he walked by.

R:
She held on to her clothes as she watched him leave. Her head tilted..what exactly had he meant by his final comment. She glanced down at the clothes in her hand and let out a sigh, exiting the room. Her eyes caught the Police girl's form and stopped. She would rather not walk about the manor left clad only in the towel, but the aspect of putting on her old clothes delighted her less. "Hello Seras", she announced in a dead tone, not amused in the parting situation in the slightest as she turned grumbling towards the stairwell.

D:
Seras blushed more, looking at first in the direction of where her Master had gone.. then Sir Integral..completely confused. Letting out a sigh she entered the bathroom. Alucard would snicker to himself as he waited for Integral to go to bed.. knowing full well another affect that the lotion would have on her.. Not that she should mind.

R:
Reaching her bedroom, Integra immediately dropped the clothes to the floor. It was a bad habit, but one she gave little care over. Holding the towel closed she opened a wardrobe and removed a simple pair of nightclothes. The towel was tossed to the pile as she began to dress herself. 'I wonder what he has in plan, exactly', she thought to herself as she continued on about her final preparations for bed, at last sitting a brush on her nightstand, her eyes flickering out into the darker areas of her room. sliding the covers around her, she sighed, finally giving up on the useless thought as she settled into her bed for the night.

D:
It would be when the cool covers touched Integrals flesh the lotion would take affect.. A sudden surge of heat spreading through our where he touched the lotion to her skin. It would spread eventually.. going where ever there was great body heat..including her core. It would be as though someone were blowing on her skin with heated breath. Alucard, feeling the change in his blood from it,laughed as he put on a pair of black silk boxers. Deciding he didn't feel like wearing too much. Bringing his arms up under his head once he laid down in his coffin, he would control the heat. Making it glide across her body.. swirling in a certain spot.

R:
Her eyes blinked in rapid succession as a strange heat rushed over her skin. 'What on earth..' She stirred in her bed, immediately kicking back her blankets as the heat stilled about between her legs. "Alucard, what have you done to me..?", she hissed into the otherwise silent air of her room, Her hand slid under her silken top to her stomach, her knees already raised as she tried to stop the strange sensations playing with her body.

D:
What would likely come to Integral as a surprise.. she wouldn't hear the answer to her question. Just a thought from Alucard as though he were unaware..-"I wonder if she'll dream of me again.. "- the thought ended for a moment only to continue.-" God.. I must seem like an inexperienced fool with how moody I get.. But how am I to be myself fully when it scares her?"- the warmth would intensify as Alucard thought of her as well, heat pooling between her legs and on her chest as though she were being..toyed with with unseen fingers.

R:
Integra gasped, pressing her legs together as the sensation continued to wreck her nerves. 'For the love of God, I will pin him back in that..' She stopped as another voice flooded her mind, her hand rising to lift her silk shirt up. 'Dream of him? Scares me..?' She shifted her legs, trying desperately to ignore the heat, to find some sort of rationality in the current mess. Her head shot to the side as she turned over in the bed. "Stop this, please..", she beckoned to the quiet of the room. What was going on? Why did it seem as if he had affected her thoughts as much as her body?

D:
Alucard would hear her plea and calmed his blood..the active ingredient in the lotion. Making the lotion cool to leave her.. refreshed instead. A sigh would be heard in her mind however.. -" How can I show her how..passionate I can be.. when I will either scare her away or hurt her? There has to be a way.."- the thought would end as the shadows would move around her.. lifting the blanket and resting it over as though to tuck her in.

R:
Integra's head whipped around as she felt the blanket wrapping around her. She glared into the darkness, angry over this 'trick'. "You can start by allowing me to sleep in peace, Servant!", she stated sharply into the room's quiet. Her chest heaved as she flipped over finally, pulling the sheet to her chin. This 'invasion', along with their previous activities, had all but left her unconscious. "I will never run from you..", she continued with a sigh, her eyes closing.

D:
Alucard smiled a bit when he heard her statement..-"I'll hold you to that Integral.."- he spoke to her mind directly.-"Goodnight dearest."- with that he cut the connection for the evening. Enjoying the cold in his room, he was glad the damned heat wave was starting to end. Stretching he turned in his coffin, deciding to take a nap for a while. Its not as though he had anything to do..

R:
Her need for sleep was finally brought moments after she yawned in response to Alucard's last words. In time, she slowly began to dream, her body curving about the pillows on her bed. It was as before, she had contently settled behind her desk, free from all the usual obligations of her job..when he approached. "Go away Servant", she mumbled in her sleep, tossing about her bed as she did in her seat in the dream. The dream Alucard smiled , his form pushing effortlessly through the wooden desk as he stood in front of her. Integra flinched. "What do you want?" His smile only increased as he leaned down, taking hold of her chin gently. "I won't kiss you with that damnable beard, Alucard", she snapped at him, pulling away from his hand. He simply laughed.

D:
Alucard awoke an hour or so later. Yawning he lifted his lid and pushed it aside.. not having even a moments peace before Police girl came bounding in. "Master! I need your help!" she blushed deeply when she saw his current state of dress..or undress but she didn't turn away. Alucard raised a brow and slowly shifted his clothes onto his body. "What is it Police girl?" she was obviously in quite a hurry as she motioned for him to come. "Its one of the men! hes.. hes acting strange!" Alucard watched as she took off, getting up with a growl as he phased through the walls, finding himself at the training area where one of the men seemed to have gone berserk.. yet none of the other men would touch him. The man was shaking and holding his head, lashing out at anyone who dared touch him..Alucard however noticed something.. his skin.

Noticing another man try and approach his comrade, Alucard's suspicions were proven correct.. the Man was becoming a FREAK. The other men had not however encountered one up close in combat.. they wouldn't have known. As the maddened soldier was about to lunge for his comrade, Alucard took this chance to strike. Phasing behind the man, he picked him up by the neck, suspending him in the air as he thrashed and grabbed at him. "Where did you get it? The chip, Tell me." he applied a bit of pressure, Police girl watching as her Master handled the situation, she moved the men farther back.

The corrupted man laughed insanely, not even getting Alucard to blink. "I.. got it from.. the evidence storage! Its wonderful! Now I see how great it truly is to be like you!" with that Alucard snarled, tightening his hold on the mans throat.
"You are nothing more then trash. Do not think that a chip can measure up to me." he looked over his shoulder at Police Girl. "Get Walter, I do not want Integral to be disturbed, she needs her sleep. Understand Police Girl?" she saluted him before running off, leaving Alucard to restrain the man. Not that there was a problem.

In a matter of moments Walter arrived with Seras, seeing the situation and giving a nod to Alucard. " If this is just a case of treachery, Then he is of no use to us. I will explain the situation to Sir Integral when she awakes." With that confirmation.. Alucard smirked. "I hope you enjoy your few moments.." The man suddenly became quite afraid.. realizing what he had done.. but it was too late. Alucard drove his hand through the mans heart, Bringing it up to slice through the mans body.. Leaving his other hand to hold on to just the head. Dropping it he turned away, glaring at the men. "Next time, When a comrade turns into the enemy.. Treat it as such!" with that he would leave.. letting them handle the mess.

R:
Something was going on in the manor, Integra realized the moment her eyes flickered opened. There were a rush of foot steps past her bedroom door, hushed whispers..she groaned, flipping her head the other way. 'New rule of the manor, no boots..', she declared to her sleep-thick mind, hands pulling down the pillows above her head. She just needed another few hours, just a few minutes.. Just then a pair of maids decided to settle themselves outside of her door, their high pitched (or so it seemed to the sleepy and annoyed heiress) whispers carrying through the door's crack to her ear. 'He was going crazy..thrashing about like a maniac..I know! I'm really glad that monster of Hellsing came, or who knows..' Integra sat up and huffed, slinging her pillow to the door. "Go away, you gabby hens!", she shouted, her nerves still wound tight. 'I'm never going to get to sleep..',the blond woman pouted, running a hand across her face.

D:
Alucard having heard the running about upstairs growled lowly.. -Damned humans!- he sensed Integral was awake.. only furthering his rage. Phasing through the floors he kept his voice low when he encountered the maids. Standing in front of them as they had rushed down the hall from her bedroom, he glared at them. "Go about your business.. but be warned and I recommend you warn the other staff members that should I hear even one more sound in this Manor while Integral is trying to sleep.." he raised his bloodied hand as a silent threat. Causing them to gasp and nod quickly, obviously getting his hint. With that he would move and allow them to scamper off, looking in the direction of Integral's room before turning and heading back downstairs.

R:
She stretched, yawning softly as she stared into the darkness of her room. 'I wonder what he's gotten himself into this time..', she thought, pulling at the covers as she laid back again. 'Surely he's not out fighting again this early..' Her eyes closed as she shifted her arms into the pillows behind her head. 'However he is not a man..at least completely..' The heiress chuckled, a smile left to linger moments after she drifted back to sleep.

D:
Alucard decided to check up with Walter again, browsing over some files concerning attacks and such. There hadn't been many but they had been watching them carefully. The fact there were so few making them uneasy. Walter sat in a desk downstairs, a computer and numerous files of "incidents" around him. Both of them however were reading one particular file. "Interesting.. The "Iron Maiden." peculiar name for a woman.." Walter nodded. "Look here." he motioned to the dates and events. "From what this says here.. shes only maybe.. sixty or so years younger then you." Alucard's eyes widened. "She can't be alive.. can she?" Walter shrugged his shoulders. "These dates only go up to a couple of centuries ago.. which means at one time.. She was alive..and Undead." Both of them read the file further.. "We should inform Integral.. these are files from her fathers old archives. If he has something on this woman.. There must have been something important there."

R:
There were no dreams this time for the blond master. She slept peacefully for hours, undisturbed and left to wake at her leisure. Eyes opening slowly, she inhaled slowly, lifting up from her bed. One of the maids had surprisingly cleaned the room while she slumbered, even as to go as far as setting out yet another change of clothes. But there was no time to appreciate the silly things such as that. With a stretch she pulled herself from bed and began to dress herself for the day, eager to get the mess of work she knew awaited her in her office.
