Hellsing (Chapter 3)
Asuka sighed as she zipped up her bag. Another day without getting anything! She hated being left in the dark about things, Honestly she did. The vampires were on the loose and turning more people into ghouls day by day, and the organization had no information pertaining as to who was creating these vampires and why.
"Fucking ridiculous is what this is" She growled walking into the bookstore. Maria looked up from the book she was reading and Yukari turned away from the shelf she was dusting to greet her.
"Hi!" Yukari smiled. Asuka smiled and hugged her tightly. Mumbling a shy hi to her.
"Hey, What's going on?" Maria asked with a smile.
Asuka groaned and perched herself up on the counter. "Horrible, We don't know a damn thing about what's going on and what's worse is more and more people are going down like flies and turning into ghouls around us." Maria nodded understanding and Yukari looked between them.
"Um, Pardon my intrusion in the conversation" She said, her English accent coming out for the first time. "But, What are you two talking about exactly?"
Asuka and Maria exchanged glances as if to tell her or not.
"Well, First…Do you believe in vampire's?" Asuka questioned. Yukari shrugged.
"Well I do but I don't, I mean the whole idea of vampire's is quite preposterous to me…But not at the same time" She responded.
"Interesting" Asuka mumbled a glint of slight excitement in her eyes. Maria casted her friend a worried glance, unsure of the glint her eyes held. "So if someone per say turned you into a vampire would you believe then?"
Yukari looked at her sister with a puzzled expression. "Yeah, I mean that's like full proof right there but I doubt they even exist…" Asuka grinned and jumped down from the counter and walked over to her.
"That's interesting…What if I was a vampire?" She questioned with taunt.
"I-I don't know…Wha-What if?" Yukari questioned. Asuka giggled and walked back over to Maria. Under her taunting demeanor, she secretly wished to drink the blood of her own sister. Just the thought sent jitters up her spine…But she refrained knowing that the outcome would only be tragic.
"Well um, Anyway…Are you guys even close to finding out?" Maria asked changing the subject.
"I doubt it…We've been working twice as hard to get rid of the ghouls and even then we're still not sure" Asuka said eyes glossed over in annoyance. "But believe me, once I find whoever is responsible I'll rip their heads off with my bare hands and hang it up in my room for the world to see."
Yukari paled at the gruesome thought and Maria sighed. "You never change" She said. "You're still so gruesome and blood thirsty."
Asuka shrugged and sent a smile her way. "Tonight I get to go out by myself though! I'm so excited!"
Maria's expression faltered a bit. "By yourself…? Are you sure you're going to be alright…?"
Asuka nodded quickly. "Totally! I've trained for years and I've learned a lot of things from working with the No Life King himself!"
"What do you mean 'No Life King'?" Yukari asked timidly.
Asuka sighed. "I'm so going to get in big trouble for this…." She found herself muttering. Yukari quirked an eyebrow and her eyes shone with curiosity.
"Okay, So, The Hellsing Organization…Which is where I live/Work, is a secret branch of the British government, and they have long since been battling supernatural threats, A.K.A Vampires, To keep people safe and all. We are under the command of Sir Integra Hellsing also known as my mother, The 'No Life King' I was talking about is my dad Alucard, He's a vampire himself but like really strong, Stronger than me actually…." She explained very quietly before Yukari stopped her.
"Stronger than you….Asuka are you-" She started.
"A vampire? Yeah…Why do you think I asked you all the questions" Asuka grinned widely.
"And Maria you-" She started once more.
"Yes, I've known for quite some time actually" Maria said rubbing the back of her head nervously.
"Then how come I'm the last to know about this?!" Yukari wailed. "I mean I'm your sister shouldn't I atleast get to know!?"
Asuka giggled and stroked Yukari's head. "Because, I didn't want to drag you into this mess…Maria used to be a part of the Hellsing Organization therefor she is allowed to know these things, Integra said so, but you need to get to know everyone atleast before we can start telling you things like this." Yukari pouted but nodded nonetheless.
"Oh, Integra's coming in…?" Maria said restocking the bookshelf by the door.
"She's here?" Asuka mumbled curiously leaning over to see out the door. Sure enough Integra was coming in, the chime of the bell signaled her arrival in the quaint little shop.
"Hello Maria, Asuka you were supposed to report back over an hour ago" Integra said casting the girl a slight glare. Maria and Yukari inwardly flinched but Asuka only shrugged.
"I know, I know I kind of lost track of time here, but trust me I was coming back!" She said slinging her bag over her shoulder. "Oh and by the way, I'm sure Walter has already informed you but this is my twin sister Yukari!" Integra glanced over to the girl that looked much like Asuka and nodded.
"Hello" She said.
"H-Hello!" Yukari squeaked back slightly intimidated by the woman's powerful demeanor. Asuka bid the two goodbye and left with Integra, upon heading back to the mansion Integra briefed her on what she would be doing tonight and that failure was not to be expected.
"I know, I know! I won't fail! Just because it's my first night out alone doesn't mean I'll do badly! Sheesh have a little faith in me!" Asuka grumbled.
Integra placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled slightly. "I do have faith in you, but tonight determines whether I'll let you continue going out by yourself or whether I'll have you stick to Alucard like glue, understand?"
"Totally!" Asuka beamed enthusiasm suddenly coming back. "Believe me I'm going to make you prouder than ever!" Integra nodded as they stepped through the doors of the mansion. Asuka quickly retreated to her room, stocking up on whatever weapons she needed for tonight which weren't many.
"Are you excited vampire?" Came Alucard's taunting voice as he fazed through her wall.
"You bet I'm excited! Not that I dislike sticking with you or anything…It's just I think it's about time I do something on my own for once y'know?" She said grinning at him. Alucard smirked slightly and placed a hand on her head.
"Very well then good luck" He said and then left. "And one more thing, don't overdo it."
"I won't~" Asuka grinned loading her gun. The excitement bubbled in her for a long time so in order to keep herself busy she focused on doing things around the house like cleaning, organizing, helping out, and even cleaning her room a bit. Then it was time to go. The excitement then bubbled back up the moment Integra let her leave.
"Ah freedom it's so nice!" She giggled heading to the designated place and looking around. "Well I couldn't expect him to just be out here…I'm pretty sure this vampire is smarter than that." Upon saying that she let her nose guide the way to an old abandoned building that reeked of the dead. She entered only to have the door forcefully slam behind her.
"My, my aren't you a pretty thing," A voice ghosted behind her. "You would be perfect for my undead army."
"Sorry," Asuka growled turning around pointing the gun at the vampire's head. "I'm not undead and I don't like the idea of being brainless." Without warning the vampire gripped her arm and twisted it back, letting the gun drop and slide across the floor, before slamming her into the opposite wall.
"Seems you've got quite a mouth on you it would be a shame for it to be forcefully ripped off" The vampire sneered.
"Fuck you asshole" Asuka growled elbowing him in the stomach before reaching once again for her gun before he stepped on her hand. "I've dealt with worse pain" She sneered tripping him up and grabbing her gun. After firing one shot to the head she set out for the ghouls. After phoning Integra, telling her the vampire had been dealt with she was ordered to head home.
"Well that was impressive for a bitch~" A voice whistled behind her. She turned around, gun in hand, ready to shoot. "Whoa calm the fuck down I was jus' complimenting ya'" The guy struck her as unusual. He was tall, had amber eyes, and dark hair. He was dressed in a blue high-collared jacket and dark blue pants, both of which had white trim on them. He also had a blue cap with a white-and-gold eye in the middle on the front of it.
"Look I don't have time for this" She growled starting to walk.
"Atleast let me know your name~" He said in a mocking tone. Asuka turned around glaring heatedly at the vampire in front of her.
"Tell me yours first"
"Jan Valentine, now you"
"Asuka Hia…"
"I know you, you work for the Hellsing organization correct" He stated and Asuka quirked an eyebrow.
"How the hell did you know that…" She questioned.
He shrugged with a cocky smirk. "A man never tells, well later bitch" and with that he started walking away. Asuka blushed and growled slightly.
"IT'S ASUKA YOU ASSHOLE!"
