Authors Note: Alright, so in reality, I have no truly good excuse about why this took me so long, I'm not even going to bother to think up one either because, well, it would be just that pathetic. Anywho- hopefully this chapter will be a bit longer and a bit more enjoyable. The chapters will naturally begin to get much longer, thus taking me yet again forever to get a chapter out. But I really do enjoy your feed back! Even if it's a random hello, chatting a bit could and I doubt it wouldn't hurt!

Okay, here's all those Q&A's for some of you reviewers!

ThroughtheShadows: It's your choice; do you want it to be the front or the back? I was considering the emo thing also, maybe going with something classier like a pinstripe suit or so, but I couldn't help but do that… don't worry, I plan on evening it all out… hehe, this chapter reveals!

HellsingOtaku: Thank You! Hopefully the plot continues to be strong!!!

MarisStrange: Well when someone says "strawberry blonde" it can be taken in two ways, a red head with a bit of blonde, or a blondie with a tint of red. I see a blonde with some red, so it's all about your interpretation of the story. I chose that way because when I think of her as a true blonde, I get a platinum picture in my head—like Integra. I suppose if it really bothers everyone I could change it, but only if they speak up will I change it.

Disclaimer: Like we all secretly wish, I do not own Hellsing or any of the characters created by Kohta Hirano. I do own all other characters though.

Chapter Three: Adventures at the Airport

Seras starred forward at the back wall, trying her best to ignore all the people around her, but that wasn't really the problem here though. Sure her inner demon was twisting in agony, wanting to break loose and come down onto these innocent people that flowed with life. It seemed as if her human side was actually becoming the difficult one to control. After standing in line for a good long time, they had finally reached the front desk of where they would claim their tickets. As soon as Seras saw who the clerk was, she knew that it wasn't a good thing. The young vampiress didn't know the woman's name, she hadn't bothered to look at the plastic tag that stated the clerks name clearly. All she needed to know was that the clerk was a woman and that Alucard was already having fun without even pulling out his gun.

"Oh you don't mean that!" the clerk giggled, a blush constantly on her face.

"But I do!" Alucard smiled wickedly. This is just too much fun, maybe I should go flying more often! He mused, continuing onward. "So amazing that you can do that."

The woman behind to desk couldn't do anything else but giggle in embarrassment, pride, and because that is the only thing her body really could do right now. It seemed as if everything else was locked up and not working. Her brain was a fuzz, her senses where going crazy, and her stomach twisted in fear. What was going on?!

Seras sighed as the woman's thoughts entered into her own mind and she found herself pitying the clerk as she succumbed to ever word that came from Alucards mouth. He was like a drug sometimes. Something you hated and didn't want in your life, but knew you couldn't survive without it, no matter how hard you tried. This woman was defiantly addicted to him too and how it killed Seras to have her master flirting with this human! Along with the bloodlust that seemed ready to break at any moment, a surge of jealousy added onto her already muddled emotions.

"You have no shame!" the clerk squealed, slapping Alucard's arm lightly. What a dangerous risk that was! And I bet she doesn't even realize it either! Seras scoffed to herself. She was no dummy and knew that the No-Life King was also suffering from all the warm humans that surrounded him. Although he did have a bit more resistance against the sun that now poured into the airport.

"Ah, but still…" Alucard went on, leaning in a bit more, a leer on his face.

And the flirting continues! Seras gave an exasperated sigh. It seemed to go on forever as she starred at the clock that hung on the back wall. The red arm that represented seconds, seemed to move like the minute hand, thus the minute hand looked like the short hour hand. And the short hour hand? What time did it represent as she endured this... torture? Years, that's what the hour hand kept track of for her now. Slow and painful as she stood, actually wanting to get in line for the security check. Which was fairly strange considering it was normally the most dreaded part of the whole airport experience. You never seem to get anywhere, the line seems to lead on forever, and when you finally reach your destination, you basically have to strip down in front of masses of people and security guards just to go through a little arch way. All that hassle just to get into the actual terminal section of the airport.

As Seras' mind wandered off, her body relaxed immensely. She was no longer tight and ridged, but back to her normal stance. In fact, she was so engrossed in her own thoughts, not even realizing that Alucard was watching her out of the corner of his eye.

Why isn't she paying attention anymore? He thought, Just moments ago she was ready to rip this humans head off and everyone else here, why such a sudden change?! As he continued to bluff and charm the clerk he allowed his subconscious brush Seras' but was only bombarded with a rush of knowledge. Metal detectors… Scanners… Police… Waiting in line… Gate… Terminal… it all flooded into him so quickly he was able to keep up the conversation flow. "Wonderful." He struggled out the single word as he closed his mind off from his fledgling, not sure if he could take any more.

"My dear it has been such a wonderful chat, but I'm afraid were pressed for time." Alucard smiled seductively, "Could you please print our tickets and have our luggage arranged too?"

"Well that's what I'm here for." The clerk tried to give a little pun, but failed miserably. "Ahem, Last name?"

"Hellsing"

"Vlad and…" She paused as she read the second name and looked up at Alucards partner. "…Kitten?"

Seras instantly snapped out of her daydream when she heard what her "cover name' was for the mission. "Kitten?!" She fumed looking up at Alucard, who grinned deviously. "You put me under as Kitten?!"

"I knew you would warm up to your name quickly." "Yes, thank you dear, such a particular name isn't it? I have no idea what her parents were thinking!"

The clerk looked at the vampire, ready to agree with him, but decided to leave it alone. Besides, his companion was giving them both death glares.

"Identification please." She smiled sweetly.

Identification?! Sears chocked. We forgot our passports didn't we! Oh no! Sir Integra is goi-

"Thank You." Wha? Seras watched at Alucard handed over two mahogany colored passports.(A/N) Any second she was waiting for the clerk to get security to arrest her and her master. But it never came. "Here are your boarding passes, what luggage do you wish to bring?"

"I believe we have some already waiting to be boarded, I just wanted to double check that it was there." He purred, he had this woman wrapped around his finger.

"Sure." She smiled and with a few clicks of the mouse and a quick word or two she was able to confirm that there was luggage under the Hellsing name that was getting shipped off to the JFK National Airport in New York City.

"You have a nice day." Seras said, taking the tickets before Alucard could and marched off.

"Goodbye." He smiled with a little wave and trailed behind pissed Seras.

Things seemed to have just gone from bad to worse as they waited in yet another line. But it is better than listening to Alucard and the damn woman! She growled inwardly.

"Now, Kitten you don't mean that!" A silky voice said.

She looked up into Alucard's sunglasses. "Take off those blasted things, you seem suspicious!" she snapped.

With every action there is a reaction and she knew that the older vampire reaction held much truth behind it. "You might have drunk from a human." He growled into her ear. "But that doesn't mean you can push me around, you are still a new vampire, barely alive for a decade while I have been around for centuries. Watch. Your. Mouth." He pulled away and smiled down at her, but she knew very well not to mistake that smile as a friendly joke, venom hid behind those ivory white teeth.

She simply nodded and took a step forward as the line inched painfully closer and closer to the next check point. She kept her eye down cast for the rest of the time until she realized something. "Sir Integra asked me to give this to you." She took of her small backpack and shifted through the contents. "Here." She held out the cell phone towards Alucard who took it, a slight hesitation in his reach.

"What is this?" he asked, turning it in his hands and flinching a tad when it flipped open.

"It is a cell phone." She explained, as she slipped her backpack onto her shoulders once again.

"What's the point of it?"

"To call people." Seras looked at the older vampire, unsure if he was just pulling her leg, but something told her he really was lost. "Sir Integra wants us to update her periodically on certain things. You can use it like a normal phone by punching in certain numbers. Sir Integra says that to call her office she is speed dial one, Walter is number two, and our numbers our three."

"What the hell is speed dial?!" Alucard said hitting a few buttons, just to see what it would do.

"An easier way to call each other." She sighed, really not wanting to get into the whole thing. She watched as he held the phone up to his ear as waited patiently. Who is he calling already?! There are only three contacts! Suddenly a slight vibration erupted on her lower back, causing her to give a little "eep!"

Alucard chuckled at his fledglings distress who quickly realized it was only him didn't bother to answer the small "talk box" as he like to call it. He missed the easy days when not everything was at the human's finger tips, it made his life more interesting, but this worked just fine. "Really Police Girl…" He chuckled darkly into her mind, brushing her senses a bit. He was further amused when she shivered and inched farther away from him, but he knew she just wanted to come forward and touch him. The smallest contact was all she wanted, yet she continued to deny both her and him that pleasure. Just the way Alucard liked it too, the harder the game is to win, the more satisfactory it will be in the end.

Move faster you slow bastards! She fumed inwardly as she starred at the back of a stranger's head. His phone seemed to have been glued to his ear this whole hour and half of waiting in line. The voice he used was hardly acceptable. She was sure everyone in a kilometer radius was aware of the finical problems he was having at the moment. Apparently his wife was cheating on him and wants a divorce, but the pension she is requesting is outrageous. "It could be hardly considered legal!" she was involuntarily informed.

Alucard seemed amused the whole time, very unlike herself who was on constant edge. That blood lust that seemed to disappear while they were at the clerk's desk, was back and in full force. It roared inside of her like a hurricane, ripping her to shreds and tearing at everything she held so dearly onto, trying to control this monster.

She was only able to keep herself in check by take deep, unneeded breaths in and out; it had become a form of meditation for her now, a very handy thing indeed for times like this. Before she knew it the horrible line that moved at a snail pace picked up speed. It was a struggle for Seras to not break the momentum as she ripped off her belt and shoes, placing them in a container with her carry on.

"Tickets." A security guard requested after the young vampiress successfully got through the metal detector. After handing the flimsy pieces of paper over which was promptly returned to her and she moved along to the conveyer belt that spat her possessions back at her. With her nerves so high already she couldn't help but give a jump when the alarm sounded off the metal detectors. Curiosity getting the best of her she paused and looked behind her, sighing afterwards.

"Seras! What the hell is going on!?" Alucard demanded as he was taken aside.

"A strip search." she replied smugly as her master disappeared into a private area. After the bombing in America, airports have taken security to the extremes. Necessary, absolutely. Annoying, oh yes. Though she could hardly argue the pleasure she got out of Alucard being forced to do as he was told by humans.

Seras glanced at the clock on the monitors that showed all the incoming and outgoing planes. They had 50 minutes until boarding and considering everything, they were going to need all the time they could get.

It took almost ten precious minutes before Alucard reemerged from the screening room, looking fairly angry too. "What happened?" she asked, cocking her head to the side as he approached.

"Just some things." he ended the subject and looked about him, like he was grocery shopping.

"Let's go then." Seras wanted some distraction from the "meals with wheels" that surrounded the two vampires, but no matter where they were in this large group of people, they were always going to be tempted. "Stick Close." She added as they were swept up into the stream of mortals.

Seras moaned inwardly as she scanned the crowds. The gate that they were to depart in had confirmed that the plane was in fact docked and that boarding should begin in about twenty minutes. It would have been a relief, if Alucard was with her and not lost somewhere else. Out of all the horrible scenario's that Seras believed could have happened, this was the worst of them all. With a person out there in a swarm of humans like Alucard it could never lead to anything good.

In attempt to find him quickly, the young vampiress tried opening her mind up to everything and allowed it to be flooded. It was impossible for her to search through all these loud thoughts, the strong feelings, to find the one that was most familiar to her. It was all in vain for in a few seconds she had to cut off her connection which had left her feeling exhausted. Staggering a bit, a human caught her by the arm and asked in a friendly voice, "You alright miss?"

The delectable smell of his blood overwhelmed her and instinctively a growl from the back of her throat came forth, terrifying the mortal who let go of Seras like her skin was dangerously hot. The situation continued to go downwards as she began to slowly lose control of her already unstable mind and body. She feared a greater disaster would occur when a thought hit her. The cell phone! It was like a little shining knight in armor as she pulled it out from her back pack. Speed dial three, send, and… The phone rang five times then transferred to an automated voice messaging system. Something completely useless for her because Alucard barely knew how to work the cellular device let alone get to the voice mail! Slamming the phone closed, she opened it up again and attempted to get a hold of Alucard one more time. She fidgeted in her spot as a child would who needed to use the W/C (A/N). Repeating a mantra in her head as blood lust crept up her spine and through her nerves, waiting to pounce. Calm down, don't lose it. Calm down, don't lose it…

Alucard stood impatiently by a small store that had a number of human necessities, but these things didn't concern him. After all, what does a vampire do with chips, water and aspirin? There was no need obviously, but he did need blood, which surrounded him in numerous quantities, rushing here and rushing there. These mortals were bringing him to his knees they were so tempting, though he was careful not to show his discomfort on his face. The No Life King had great pride and even though no person would recognize him, (besides Seras that is) he still felt the need to keep his demeanor in check.

Damn them! He growled inwardly as a human barley brushed against his arm. Tempting me so! Do they not fear me?! He was feeling very agitated not only had his fledgling gotten lost (for he couldn't be the one mistaken), but now he felt absolutely powerless in this crowd. He did not like that sensation at all. Feeling as if standing there was doing absolutely nothing, he began to make his way back into the flow of traffic when he caught his reflection. Hrmm… I do look devious, but this look, I'm not so sure I like it. Walter's sense of fashion must be fading quickly- I need to change immediately. He began gathering his powers when he remembered that he was in a sea of ignorant mortals and that this was something that Sir Integra had strongly emphasized she did not want to happen- Exposure.

"If you need something and you're in public, use this, Seras can have access to it as well." Alucard recalled his master handing him a plastic card, flimsy indeed but the words "Master Card" seemed to be something special to have. While digging in his pockets, his lower body suddenly began to vibrate and make annoying high pitched sounds. He looked around to see if anyone reacted differently to this strange occurrence. Realizing it was simply the talk box he ignored it, not wanting to speak with his master. When it rang a second time he knew it wouldn't stop until he did something about it. As he tried to pull it out of his pockets he decided he really didn't like these clothing.

Working with the small device was much more complicated than he first assumed. The screen said that Seras was calling, but he couldn't hear the draculina's voice. He could deal with telephones, those have been around long enough for him to become accustom to them, but these cell phones would take his decades to master! This isn't worth my time. Alucard threw the still ringing gadget into a near-by trash can and walked on, not too sure of where he was to be heading.

To a simple bystander the petite, curvy woman looked very tired and in need of a very good rest, but that wasn't the case. It wasn't rest that this agent of Hellsing needed. She needed to get as far away from this place as she could. Away from any human contact that could cause her monster to break loose. More than anything, Seras needed blooded. Her body quivered as she desperately helped herself back. She no longer began to see people but just the blood that throbbed through their bodies, huge blood bags that were nice and warm, ready for her to devourer. Where's Alucard!!! She screamed in her head when he didn't pick up his phone- yet again. Even though he was an annoying bastard, he would at least help keep her craving at bay. Though, if she kept on standing here, Seras feared that not even his mocking face and powers could hold her back from ripping a few of these humans apart.

"Hold to your wit Mignonette." She was suddenly told, but not by the voice of her master. "Keep zit in check." The voice said reassuringly. " Moi beau de fille police." The voice was heaven sent. A blessing came along with that French accent that allowed everything to settle down. The blood lust cleared like a thick fog over Seras, leaving nothing, not even the slightest craving. The ripples in her mind calmed and left room for clear thought. She didn't ponder on what had just occurred, only grateful that it had happened! A few more moments and she would have lost it! But there was something in her, a force stronger than blood lust and knowing that she access to that power made her feel strong and confident. Emotions that were all too scarce for her sometimes.

"One more time, eh?" the voice murmured as Seras dialed the number on her cell phone.

"Yes, one more time Pip." She smiled and the phone began to ring.

Alucard examined himself in the mirror, feeling much more comfortable in his newly purchased attire. As he had made his wanderings he had spotted a suit shop. Although he thought it foolish for one to be in an airport(Greedy Humans and their need to have everything at their finger tips), he couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of the expensive cloth against his skin. Handing the cashier the plastic card solved the 129 Euro bill and allowed Alucard to get back into the flow of people. He felt in more control as he strutted down the huge halls, a particular grin on his face. Of course, he had no idea where he was going, but the family about five feet ahead of him did and they were also catching a flight to America or that's what he had picked up from their minds. They tried to move fast through the crowded, "We're going to miss it!" running through the parents minds over and over again.

As if it matter to him, humans waited for him, he wouldn't rush just for their schedule. He was above them, a vampire that could take their lives before they ever realized it. Following the family and the trail he left for them, he caught whiff of a very familiar and lushes smell. "Lost Kitten?" He grinned approaching his fledgling easily now that he was out of the main flow of traffic.

Seras couldn't help but gawk at Alucard, a wave of anger hit her. "You bought a bloody suit?! That's where you were?!" She seethed.

"Yes." Alucard answered simply, casually slipping a hand into his black pants pocket, his smug smile plastered all over his face.

Seras couldn't reply to that, how could you? It was so blunt that there was no retort. She had to admit though, he did seem much classier in his newly purchased outfit, though she wasn't about to tell him that. The pants and over coat were both black but the shirt was a dark blue/purple that fit well with his obscure orange glasses. He had the coat placed on his shoulders where it seemed to obediently stay and the shirt tucked in. Something that wasn't normally done, but he pulled it off fine. He could wear anything- DO anything and it would work. A tint of jealously mixed in with her anger. "Excuse me!" A Male airport employee called from the gate. "Are you boarding?"

"After you." Alucard gestured with his hand and walked behind a fuming Seras as she handed their tickets to the man. They were admitted and given their ticket stubs and began to make their way down the hall way that reeked of a fowl odor. Before Seras entered through the portal to the plane she reviewed quickly at everything that had already happened. And the mission hasn't even officially started. She sighed as her foot came in contact with the planes worn carpet.

A/N: A quick FYI for everybody, the "lou" is another term for the toilet. If you ask someone where the nearest public bathroom in Europe, they will most likely give you a queer look and walk away. For the bathroom in Europe means a toilet, sink, or a bathtub/shower, the term "bathroom" is really just an American thing. Another bathroom fact, just in case, the W/C (water closet) is another very common term for the bathroom. Yet some more facts to maybe clear things up, normally, each country has a different colored passport and because Alucard and Seras were 'born' in England, there obviously U.K citizens and would have the correct passport as well.

Okay boring, but hopefully helpful information done I like to say that this was what most of my chapters will be like from now on, well depending on what is going on during that time in the story. But I figure the longer chapters the better, making sure there not boring that is!

Don't forget to leave a message too!!! ^o^
