Chapter One: See You Soon

The young police girl of the Hellsing Organization was in her bosses office. Sir Integra Hellsing, head of the Hellsing family and Knight of the Round Table was smoking one of her cigars.

"You wanted to see me Sir Integra?" Seras asked her, walking into her office wearing her yellow Hellsing uniform.

"Yes Seras, take a seat. I have a mission for you to undertake." Seras made her way across the room to take a seat opposite her boss.

Seras looked around the room and spoke up "Where is Master? Or Pip? Shouldn't they be here too?"

"This is a mission for you alone. It's an undercover mission, Alucard and Pip aren't suited for this one. And since it is a direct order from the Queen. I have no choice but to trust you with it."

Seras understood the importance of this mission almost immediately, she had met the queen only once in her lifetime, but even her Master respected Her Majesty. "What is it Sir?"

"There have been cases of disappearing children, Hellsing intelligence have found one common link between them all, but no sights of anything, supernatural."

"What's the common link?"

"Noah's Ark Circus, everywhere this troupe preformed, children have gone missing. I want you to go undercover and figure out what the cause of the children's disappearances and if you find anything supernatural is involved, eliminate it. The circus is holding auditions for performers, I'm certain that someone of your nature could easily find a talent."

"How long do I have to prepare for the mission?"

"You have two hours. You will not be allowed any Hellsing weaponry or uniforms. You must go as a common woman. I'll have Walter send you some appropriate clothing."

Seras began to fiddle with her wedding ring, she had been happily married to the leader of the Wild Geese, Pip Bernadotte, for a few months now. And being away from him was going to make her uneasy.

"I suggest you also also leave that here." Sir Integra took a drag from her cigar as she spoke. "Nothing that can reveal anything about your identity. There was once a brave police-man who got in too deep once..."

"I know Sir Integra, you don't have to bring that up." Her face became red, both out of anger at the memory and the fact that Sir Integra would bring it up at a time like this. "My father was a good man."

"I know Seras, I know. As for your, limitations. I've had Alucard help out with the preparation of your clothing, it will help you out in case you run into some, morning troubles."

"Understood." Seras now knew that this was now serious... and that all care must be taken when she goes on this mission.

-30 minutes later-

"I can't believe I have to wear this!" Seras touched the red dress with some disgust in her eyes. "It's so frilly, and..." She kept playing with the fabric in her hands. She was in the basement levels of Hellsing, where her and Pip's room was located. After a very interesting wedding, Sir Integra had permitted them to share a room together, but always put them on different hours while working. Pip would work days and Seras would nights. But short overlaps in times would allow them to be together.

"Mignoette, I think you would look quite cute in a dress, though I think you look cuter without anything-"

"Pip, you should stop right there. I don't even want to know Master's face when he and Walter were making this... this thing!" Inside of her mind, she could hear Alucard laughing at her, though she wasn't sure if it was her imagination or her Master actually laughing at her. She shook it off however as she found herself sighing at the fabric as Pip grabbed her from behind and gave her a kiss on the lips. "It's going to be lonely without you here Seras."

She blushed at this sudden contact as she looked at him with some sadness in her eyes. "I'll miss you Pip." She then looked at her wedding ring, Sir Integra had instructed her to leave it behind. She began to play with it before taking it off. "I'm sorry Pip. I have orders", she placed the ring on the table softly as she looked at the room.

Her coffin was against the wall next to the large king sized bed that was neatly made, on the bed was a small Pip doll, something Seras liked to have in the mornings when she couldn't be with Pip. He thought it was cute, almost childish of Seras. The walls were painted a deep crimson, with no windows, and the stone floor was cold to the touch.

Seras gave Pip a kiss as she took off his hat and playfully began to play with his braid, she had found a new love in playing with Pip's hair, it made her smile just to be able to touch him.

"I-I love you Pip." Her face became red as she admitted this to him.

Pip couldn't help but smile at his wife, it was a smile that Seras couldn't help but find beautiful, every time Pip smiled it made her feel a little more human and a lot less like a monster.

"I heard that, Police Girl." A figure smirked from within the wall as a shadow phased through. It was Alucard, Seras Victoria's Master and for lack of a better explanation from either of them, sort of like her father figure. He was the one that saved her life at the expense of her humanity, a humanity that she desperately tries to cling on to. Alucard knew this, Seras knew this, and it was Seras' wish that Pip remained in the dark.

Seras then turned to her Master and touched the dress. "What the hell is this frilly little thing? You expect me to wear this on a mission Master?"

Her Master didn't say a word in response, but gave a smile that was all to familiar for her. She knew her Master was teasing her with the fact she would have to wear a dress.

"Fine." She lowered her head in defeat. "I'll wear the bloody thing, now get out Master so I can get changed."

Alucard smirked, "You're trying to order me to do something, Police Girl?" His smile was one that could send chills down a human's back, and for Seras is made her afraid of him.

"Alucard, I would hate to mention this, again, but I would rather you not use your vampire powers to watch over another man's girl." Pip had spoken up, he had made his way to the corner of the room and had began smoking during Seras and Alucard's conversation, he held the lit cigarette in his hand as he stares both of them down. "It's impolite."

"She's my fledgling, no matter what holy matrimony bonds you two, she is my fledgling first." Alucard's tone wasn't amuzed at all, that worried Seras. She was always worried about her Master and Pip fighting over her, just because she was bound to both of them.

But a female's voice was what broke the tension. "Alucard, Seras needs to get ready." It was Sir Integra. "She's got a long day tomorrow. Give her some space."

"Yes, my Master." Alucard's mischievous smile faded as he left behind Sir Integra, closing the door to allow Seras to start getting changed in front of Pip. She would still blush when being around him even in her pajamas, so having herself in just her undergarments made her face beat red.

"You can always ask me to leave, Migonette, though I would prefer it if you would let me stay." He spoke as he hugged Seras from behind, shocking her.

Seras found herself contemplating her psychical relationship with Pip, she knew that as they were married, she could do what she wanted with him. But she had yet to even talk about their physical lives. She knew that Pip wasn't a virgin, but she was. It was her innocence that allowed Alucard to turn her into a vampire that fateful night in Cheddar. And it was her innocence that she felt kept her from turning into a real monster. Pip had only seen her fully exposed body twice, once by accident when she was getting out of the bathtub, and the second when he was treating wounds on her body. They never talked about those events.

"Seras, are you o.k?" Pip's voice snapped her out of her thought, as she turned around to see him, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Do you want me to leave?"

"It's fine Pip." She then kissed him deeply, "Everything is fine." She played with his hair as she continued to kiss, it was only for a slight moment before Pip began to kiss her back, allowing himself to be a little rough with his wife. She was upset on how little time they had to be with each other, so she wanted to savor this time. She wrapped her fingers in his hair as she continued to kiss him passionately.

"Seras..." Pip breathed out. "You're only going to be gone a few days."

Seras hugged Pip's body as she spoke "I-I just don't want this to be goodbye."

"Then don't say au revoir, my Seras. Say à bientôt."

"A bientôt?"

"It means see you soon."

"Pip, I'll see you soon." She then kissed him again before walking over to the dress, and slipping it over her body, she had Pip help her with the strings that went up her chest.
