Chapter 22 - Changes in the story

'It is now the night of the 20th of August.' Seras wakes up and thinks to herself.

'How can so many things have happened in the span of a week. I mean I get stabbed by 11 blessed Bayonets on the 15th, I get hunted by Iscariots again two days later with Integra. I then kill Steadler and get punished for two days to which I then was on the brink of death...again. Then I meet Helena and we goto the Naruto Universe only to return to an angry master.'

'If this was a story others might be wondering why I'm thinking of this. Well it's because of what Walter is saying.'

"Did you hear me Seras?" Walter asks while cleaning up the room.

"Um.....yes and no. Could you please explain again." Seras asks embarrassed.

"Fine. I'm here to inform you of a pressing situation. The round table has some serious doubts about the efficiency of Hellsing as of late. They are angry over what happened a couple days ago and have decided on a rather coarse action." Walter sighs.

"What action?"

"They have decided that there is a problem with Hellsing and have called outside help to remedy it."

"...please don't tell me you're about to say what I think you're going to."

"Unfortunately the queen has agreed. So tomorrow morning the Vatican is going to be sending a few professionals to evaluate us."

"The Iscariots? Do we know who they're sending?"

"No, just that it is going to be a group of 5 individuals."

"I see."

"Sir Integra has ordered me to tell you to be on your best behavior. If you so much as try to hurt one of them without provocation you will be severely punished and worst case scenario Sir Integra might have to order Alucard to kill you." Walter has a very grim face while saying so.

"Don't worry Walter. I've met Alexander Anderson before. I'm sure whoever comes, I'll be fine."

"Be that as it may. I hope you control yourself seras. You have brought so much happiness to this family and I don't want to lose it." Walter caringly says before walking out.

Just as Walter leaves Alucard's voice sounds out.

"Well, that was very touching of him to say." He chuckles.

"Yes it was."

"I can't wait for them to show Police Girl. It's going to be a fun week."

"Wait. A week!? That's ridiculous!"

"It could be more if they so wish to stay. After all, Hellsing is in a precarious position."

"I see. Then what do I need to do? Do I need to meet them when they show or are we meeting them tomorrow night?"

"We have to meet them when they show. It's unfortunately the price we pay as Hellsing's trump cards."

"I see. Then I'm going to the range. I need to shoot out a weeks worth of stress before they arrive. I hope that Maxwell doesn't show or I might kill him." Seras leaves these words to which Alucard is confused by.

He disappears from his room and reappears in Integra's office.

"What is it Alucard? Did you tell seras about our predicament?"

"Yes and she promises not to cause any trouble. Although she did say something to the contrary."

"What is it this time?" She asks frustrated.

"She says that if someone named Maxwell shows she might kill him."

"Maxwell? How does she know about him?"

"I can't say. She just does."

"This is ridiculous. Ever since she has shown up it seems like you're keeping more and more secrets from me."

"You could order me, but I believe even that will not allow me to answer."

"That's ridiculous. I ORDER you to tell me all of the secrets between the two of you." She orders angrily despite her better judgement.

"....."

"What? How come you don't answer me?"

"Unless I want to, this information I know can not be forced out of me. It is above the seal Abraham has placed upon me." He pauses.

"If you just asked nicely, I might have said. Now though, it will be out of your reach."

Alucard disappears soon after in a fit of anger leaving a confused Integra.

"Is that possible? That seal was a lifetime of my ancestors work, what kind of information can prevent that?" Integra gets confused as a knock sounds out.

Walter opens the door and notices the look of Integra and begins to ask.

"Sir, are you..."

"I'm fine Walter. Just stressed about this shit bomb coming our way."

"Now Integra, you know how I feel about that sort of language."

"Sorry Walter. I just feel like I have failed my family, by allowing the Iscariots entrance. It makes my skin crawl."

Sometimes doing something you like can make time go by incredibly faster. By the time seras noticed, it was already dawn and Walter came by to ask her to come to the entrance.

She cleans up the room and stores all of the shells in her inventory before going to the trash and unloading them all into the trash.

Afterwards, Seras phases into the entrance area of the mansion grouping together with Walter, Integra, and Alucard.

She notices that Integra is giving her a glare of true anger and looks to Alucard for what happened.

{She ordered me to inform her of your secrets and when my seals didn't work she got very angry. She is just taking her anger out on you.}

{Why did she even ask to begin with?}

{Come now Police Girl. Integra is not stupid, she knows that we have a few secrets that we have been sharing and she has restrained herself from asking until now.}

{I see. So how angry is she?}

{let's just say that you shouldn't meet her without me or Walter for a while.}

Just as he gets done telepathically saying this, Integra begins to speak.

"I see you finally arrived Police Girl. You sure took your sweet time getting here."

"Oh. I'm sorry Sir Integra. I was at the range and I had to clean it up."

"You were relieving stress again?"

"Y...Yes." She affirms with a blush.

After this silence prevails for the next while and seras notices that it's currently 7:30 AM which means it's 30 minutes past dawn.

{Master. When did the Vatican say they would arrive?}

{Dawn.} He says with a yawn.

{well, isn't that interesting.} she grins madly to which nobody notices except Alucard.

{You promised Police Girl.}

{it's fine, I won't physically hurt them.} she stresses the word physically.

{Good. I really don't want to find you on the end of my gun.}

{You won't master.}

They spend the next couple hours waiting in the front entrance getting more frustrated by the second.

Seras is laying down on the couch almost sleeping. Alucard is still leaning against the wall while Integra is sitting in a chair being served tea by Walter.

This goes on until 10:00 AM when Walter received info that the Vatican has arrived and they are coming through the gate.

"They're finally here. Alucard, wake up seras." Integra commands looking at the drooling seras.

"Sure." He says before picking up the police girl by her head and shakes her harshly.

"Uh....owowow. Great, this is all I need before meeting those assholes." her eyes snap open before getting hit with a splitting headache.

"Be quiet Police Girl. They're going to be here any second." Integra commands harshly.

"Fine."

They all stand up and wait for the door to open.

It opens and a man with gray hair tied up in a pony tail with Purple eyes comes in arrogantly. He smiles triumphantly as 4 other figures are behind him.

'Great, just great.' Seras complains as she notices the five people.

"Hello Miss Hellsing." Maxwell says stressing the word Miss.

"Hell, Mr. Maxwell." She replies stressing Mr.

Their lips twitch in annoyance at the greeting when a mad laughter sounds out.

"HAHAHAHAAHA! This is perfect! I've been wanting a rematch, Judas Priest!" Alucard yells while taking out his Cassul gun.

"Aye, you scum sucking vampire. You got away last time and I vow that that shall not happen again." Anderson replies while taking out his bayonets.

As they're talking Walters wires get sent out to the surroundings. Heinkel and Yumie also draw their weapons pointing at various members. Maxwell, Renaldo, and Integra are the only ones not drawing weapons.

Nobody takes notice of seras as she is just sitting on the couch closing her eyes.

Soon after they notice her as she starts to take a sip from a blood pack with a silly straw. Anderson and Maxwell show disgust as the rest of the Iscariots are surprised at her unbridled actions.

Seras notices this and stops sucking.

"What?" Her voice sounds out.

"What are you doing Police Girl? I thought you would have been the first to take action?" Integra asks in confusion.

"Is that what you'd like Sir? I promised I would not hurt them, but now you want me to point my guns at them?"

"Well...."

"Please, just give me permission. I would be glad to do so." She gives an evil grin like Alucard.

"No. That will not be necessary. Anderson, put away your weapons. We have not come here to fight." Maxwell calmly orders his people to stand down.

"That was quite the entrance, Papist." Integra spats out.

"My apologies, but your servant did provoke us."

"True. Let's just forget about this and have a civilized conversation." Integra says this and then they all goto the couches.

Integra sits in a chair by herself with Walter slightly behind her. Alucard sits next to seras. Anderson, Renaldo, and Heinkel sit on the other couch with Maxwell sitting on the other chair.

Yumie is mad as they're is only one seat left and it is next to Seras. She refuses to sit until Maxwell coughs and gestures to her with his eyes to sit.

She reluctantly walks over to seras and sits down the furthest she can get away.

Before Integra and Maxwell speak. Seras gets another blood pack out of her inventory and hands it to her master. This makes Integra, Walter, Heinkel, and Yumie jump up in freight before they notice the pack of blood.

"You must be hungry master. Here's some food." She sweetly says before going back to her own.

"Why thank you seras. I must say that I am famished waiting for some arrogant pricks to show up." He takes it and says.

"You're welcome."

Integra and Walter calm down as they both think about what conversations will happen later.

"So, to get back to the matter at hand." Maxwell says.

'So Anderson was right, but why has she shown this ability?'

'Looks Like Maxwell knew about this ability. How could he know when I did not?' She starts to get angry again before calming herself down.

"Yes, Let's. I have been in the dark about your presence here."

"Well yes. You see due to your enormous blunder a few days ago, your queen believes that we could help in understanding why such a thing happened?"

"I see. So why is Iscariot the one investigating us? Surely your pope could find some other people qualified?"

"Oh please. I offered my services. I figured you would be glad having your Christian counterparts investigating?"

"Yes, I assume you would." Integra says and then there is silence again.

"Soooooo. What exactly will be happening this week?" Seras asks trying to steer the conversation forward.

"Why is this thing speaking?" Maxwell asks to which a chill goes through the room.

The Vatican members receive a chill that they all shiver to except Anderson.

"Well, that wasn't very nice." Seras says calmly before she disappears from view. There was no sound or motion, she just disappeared.

She reappears instantly leaning against the back of maxwells chair. She brings her hands forward so Maxwell can see them and starts to move them around. she rests her chin on his head.

"You know, I'm only a teenager. So please excuse my thoughtless actions." Seras says teasingly as she can small the fear wafting off of Maxwell.

She finally places her hands right above maxwells throat without touching.

This all happened in seconds but it seems like slow motion to everyone as they're still confused as to how she got behind him without any noise or movement.

"You abomination!" Anderson yells and throws two of his bayonets at her head.

Seras teleports again and sits back down on the couch effectively dodging the bayonets.

She starts to sip on her blood pack again when the knives hit the wall behind Maxwell.

"What!?" He yells and summons more Bayonets.

"ANDERSON! ENOUGH!" Maxwell yells stopping him.

"Maxwell."

"She is right, I was incredibly rude. Please excuse my lack of manners. Miss Victoria." He bows to her in apology.

"How polite. I accept." She giggles and then turns to Sir Integra.

"May I be excused? I am so incredibly tired." Seras asks.

"Yes Seras. I'm sorry to have kept you up this long. Have a good sleep." Integra laughs a little remembering Maxwells face and allows it.

"So, let's set some ground rules for your stay with us." Integra continues looking at the still sweating Maxwell.

"Yes. Let's." He smiles quirkily.

"From what I know, you are here to investigate my organization. What does that exactly entail though?"

"Oh it's just your normal plain investigation. We'll be questioning the staff, looking for forbidden objects."

"That's ridiculous. Everything here is practically forbidden."

"Well we still have to search. Also we will be conducting interviews with everyone. That includes your...pets." He says the last word with disgust.

Alucard chuckles as he feels the spike in anger that his fledgling feels.

The air stills again as everybody in front of Maxwell look behind him in surprise.

"Bishop. Need I remind you of where you are? I've accepted your apology once, so what can you offer me this time?" Seras' voice sounds out behind him to which he jumps a little.

"Hiiiiiiii." Maxwell yells ridiculously as Anderson appears next to her with a bayonet at her neck.

"Get away, vampire."

"Aw, that's too bad." Seras reluctantly draws backward slowly with a pout.

"Seras! I told you to goto bed." Integra yells.

"Yes sir." She says as she goes through the ground in her dark portal.

The Vatican members sigh in relief as she is gone fully.

"Hahahaha. My servant is really amazing. May I leave as well, master?"

"Yes you may Alucard. You must be tired of this charade."

"Thank you. Also just a word of warning to you Iscariots. My police girl doesn't mind being called a monster, or anything of that sort. But, if you dare call her anything like before, well let's just say that her past actions explain themselves." He chuckles darkly before disappearing in her own portal.
