Chapter 3

The next morning Integra met with the queen's envoys in her office to discuss the autopsy results.

"Gentlemen, it is appearent that we've a threat of true vampires in London. The deaths of the man and woman found last night are proof of this. I want the club Dark Oasis to be investigated for any information that may lead us to the perpetrators. However, this must be done with great discretion and caution. And the media must be kept out of the matter at all costs. If any information were to leak to the press we could have a national panic on our hands." Integra explained.

"We agree. The queen is very concerned about this threat to her citizens." One of the envoys said.

"Her majesty has no need to worry. Hellsing will stamp out this threat as we have done all others. We will hunt them down, and when we have found them they will be erradicated as always." Integra replied confidently.

"Very well. Carry on with your mission. God and her majesty be with you Sir Integra. Amen."

"Amen."

As the envoys were ushered away Walter entered Sir Integra's office.

"I don't understand it Walter. Alucard has never had a problem sensing a target. Why should last night be any different?" She asked.

"Perhaps the seals are finally beginning to interfere with his power more than we anticipated." Walter answered.

"No. The seals restrict his power, but not his senses. He's been under those restrictions for well over a hundred years, and he's never yet had a problem sensing his targets." Integra said.

"Perhaps this target has a power that we nor Alucard are aware of." Walter suggested.

"But how? Vampires can hide their true identities from humans yes, but not from other vampires. Especially not from a vampire as powerful as Alucard." Integra refuted.

"Perhaps they have developed powers we are not yet aware of." Walter replied.

"If they have, then this war against them is getting more challenging than any of us realize." Integra said as she took a drag off her cigarillo.

"I think we're going to be in for a long night on this one." Walter replied.

"To that I can defintely agree."

Dusk fell over London. Demir and Aiesha arose from their coffins, walked to the altar and kneeled. "Mistress, we face a powerful threat to our cause. Tell us how we may thwart him and any who stand with him." He said.

Though the statue itself made not a move or sound, a voice began to speak in the minds of the followers who knelt before it.

"The dragon holds great power. Both human and vampire have yet to find a way to end him."

"Then how are we to destroy him mistress? He must not be allowed to interefer with our plans." Demir said.

"Bring him to me."

"It will be done mistress."

He and Aiesha stood up and looked at each other. "We will find a way to lure the prey. For now we must be patient. When the time is right, we will deal with our enmies." He said.

Seras finished off the last of her dinner and opened a portal to the upper levels. Dressed in only a terry cloth robe she headed toward one of the shower rooms. She walked in and closed the door behind her and locked it to ensure no one accidentally walked in on her. She took out two towels and then started her shower. When the water was the right temperature she took off the robe and stepped into the shower.

She squeezed a small bit of shampoo into her hands, rubbed them together and then worked the lather into her hair. As she began to rinse the suds from her hair she felt something rub up against her back. A pair of long arms wrapped around her waist.

"I thought I'd join you." Said a sultry male voice.

As the soap rinsed from her hair Seras reached around and felt two lean muscular thighs behind hers. She took a bottle of liquid body soap and pressed it against one of those thighs.

"Care to make yourself useful?" She asked.

She looked behind her to see the wicked grin on Alucard's face as he took the bottle from her hand. As he poured a bit on his palm Seras turned around. She saw that Alucard had resumed his usual form. His hair was shorter than it had been the night before only going slightly past his shoulders. He rubbed his hands together to start a lather and then began massaging it onto her shoulders. She raised her arms hoping he would go straight for her chest. However, he decided to wash her upstretched arms first.

She let out a frustrated growl which only caused him to flash a naughty smirk. He leaned down and kissed her possessively as his hands started sliding down her arms. She groaned into his mouth as his hands slid across her breasts. He felt her nipples harden under his slippery palms. He slid his hands down her waist and then around to suds up her back. She pressed her body against his while he continued kissing her. Their tongues twirled around each other feeling around each other's mouths.

Seras pressed her palms against Alucard's chest. He broke the kiss and went to one knee. Seras rested one leg upon his bent knee and he began washing it. His hands came close to her womanhood, but he purposefully backed off. He did the same with her other leg. Seras growled again frustratedly.

"Ah ah my dear. I wash you, you have to wash me in return." He chided wearing his trademark smirk.

"You make me bloody crazy." She sighed.

"I know." Alucard replied flicking his tongue across the tip of her nose.

Seras took the bottle of soap and squeezed some into her hand. She began with Alucard's shoulders while he was still knelt in front of her. He stretched his long arms out pressing his hands against the grout tile. Seras moved her smaller hands up and then back down his arms. The elder vampire stood up allowing her to wash his chest. She moved her hands round to his back and washed it as well. Then she went to her knees and worked her hands up Alucard's legs just as he had done with her. She was about to get up when she felt two strong hands push her back down.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" He asked in a wicked tone.

"Oh don't worry. I haven't forgotten...that." Seras said displaying an evil smirk on her face. She suddenly grabbed his stiff erection rather forcefully causing him to gasp. Then with a toothy grin she began taking him into her mouth. He hissed loudly as she continued taking him into her mouth. Instinctively he grabbed onto a balancing bar to keep from falling backward. Seras moved her head back and fourth slowly at first, then began to gradually speed up.

Her eyes closed, she didn't see a long black tendril slithering down Alucard's frame. She did however feel when it pushed itself between her legs. Even with her mouth occupied, she still managed to let out a deep moan as it rubbed against her most senstive area. She withdrew until only the tip was still engulfed in her mouth. She rolled her tongue across it slowly in the same way the tendril rubbed against her clit. They both groaned in unison.

Seras stopped her ministrations and stood up. Alucard in turn withdrew his shadowy tendril back into himself. She turned around pressing her backside against his already aching member. She heard a low growl as he grasped her waist and quickly pushed into her. She inhaled sharply as he grabbed her breasts and roughly palmed them. She moaned loudly as he pinched her nipples hard rolling them firmly between his fingers. He leaned his head down bathing her neck in frenzied kisses. Seras gasped feeling Alucard's fangs pierce her tender skin.

She raised her arms and hooked them around Alucard's neck. One hand moved down from her breasts to the aching spot between her thighs. She squealed as he pressed his fingers firmly into her heated flesh. With a pressure that was neither gentle or forceful, he rubbed her overly sensitive nob. He moved his fingers in a circular motion while pushing himself deeper into her pulsing core.

When he felt her coming close he withdrew his hand from between her legs and the other hand from her breast. He firmly grapsed her waist and pushed sharply into her. His mouth however was still attached to her neck as he continued lapping the blood from her wounds. He began to thrust hard and fast jerking Seras against him. Her nerves both stung and tingled as he pounded relentlessly into her. She yowled and mewled loudly. Her nails began to dig into Alucard's neck. Low growls reverberated in his throat as she scratched his skin.

Seras pressed her head against her lover as her orgasm claimed her. Her body spasmed as she cried out with pleasure. Alucard stopped feeding from Seras jerking his head back. His eyes flashed wildly and his nostrils flared. He fought to keep himself and Seras upright as he hit his own climax. He felt her inner walls contract forcefully gripping him. Rivulets of blood dripped from his mouth as he growled and groaned deeply feeling his seed surge into her.

They both sighed with satisfaction having satiated their carnal lusts. Alucard wrapped his arms around Seras's waist feeling her body tremble and buckle. He slowly turned her around keeping his arms around her so she didn't fall. He bent his head down gently kissing the place where he'd bitten her. She purred contently as his tongue swept lightly across the tiny holes before they healed. She saw the remaining lasceration where she'd scratched him during her heated passions and kissed the wound before it disappeared.

After a few moments the two vampires rinsed any remaining soap from their bodies. Seras turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her wet, naked body and then used the other to dry her hair. Alucard grabbed a towel for himself and wrapped it around his waist.

"We should both be getting ready for tonight. Our master will summon us soon." Alucard said looking down at Seras.

"I'll meet you at your chamber after I get dressed then?" She asked.

"Yes." Alucard answered giving her a quick kiss before vanishing.

Integra waited in her office for her two vampiric agents to appear. As she took a drag off her cigarillo Alucard and Seras phased through the wall into her office. Seras wore a crimson velvet cami with a black velvet a line skirt. Her hair was pulled into a short but nicely done ponytail. Smokey shadow framed her eyes and burgandy lipstick accented her lips. She wore black lace gloves that went to her elbow.

Alucard stood beside her looking as dashing as he had the night before. He wore black dress pants, a deep wine colored dress shirt and a nearly floor length black leather coat. He had his walking cane in hand. This time he decided to wear his reddish orange sunglasses. Seras couldn't resist the site of him. He was a mix of old world charm and modern flair.

"All right. You both have know your orders. We know what the target is, but as of this time we do not know WHO the target or targets are. So I want you both to scout out every individual in the club. Don't let your senses betray you this time Alucard. Innocent lives are riding upon your ability to scope out your target." Integra said sharply.

"Yes master..." Alucard replied condescendenly.

He opened a portal for he and Seras to leave Integra's office. He looked over at Seras. "Looks like someone is expecting her monthly visitor." He said snidely. As he was almost engulfed by the portal, he felt something rather sharp and pointed suddenly make contact with his backside.

Integra sat in her chair with a rather satisfied smirk on her face as she tapped her pen against the desk. "Next time keep my hormones out of your buisness servant."

Demir and Aiesha watched from the bar as people entered the club. They eyed one young woman with particular interest as she walked in. She was a young woman with jet black hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a royal blue dress velvet dress and a black corset. Demir eyed her hungrily, but it was not the kind of hunger most people would have thought.

"Look at her Aiesha. I can smell her blood from here. She's a virgin. It's been a while since we've had virgin blood." He thought.

"Yes. Her blood smells so sweet. And such beauty, it should not go to waste." Aiesha responded.

"Yes, she is very exquisite isn't she. Perhaps we will keep her. I'm sure she would have her uses for the both of us." Demir replied.

"Yes. We should not turn her too quickly. It has been a while since you and I have had a human in our bed." His companion thought to him.

"Then we will take her." He finished.

As they were about to make a move toward the young woman they saw Alucard and Seras enter the club. They abruptly halted their approach.

"Not yet Aiesha. We must not be rash in our desires. She will just have to wait for the moment." Demir thought.

Demir and Aiesha went to the far end of the bar trying not to attract the attention. They watched from their vantage point as the young woman bought a drink and then turned her attention to Alucard and Seras. They turned away so they would not look suspicious.

Alucard and Seras sat in the booth they'd shared the previous night. The elder vampire mentally surveyed each patron to see if he felt the presence of anything inhuman. Seras did her own investigating sniffing the air to see if she caught the scent of vampire blood. But the only vampiric presence she could sense was that of the one sitting next to her. Alucard looked across the bar and saw Demir standing beside Aiesha. Without warning something flashed in his mind like the flashbulb of a camera.

"Swear your allegance to him! Swear it! Swear yourself to the sultan!" A voice shouted.

"NEVER!" Another voice screamed.

#########################################

As quickly as it began, it was over. Alucard shook his head rapidly trying to chase the memory out of his head. Seras looked at him for a moment.

"Alucard, are you all right?" She asked seeing the dazed look on his face.

"I heard a voice in my head. A voice from long ago in a memory I thought I'd forgotten. It was a familiar voice." Alucard answered. "When I looked at him...Demir. When I looked at him it was like I was looking at a ghost."

"Alucard, you suspect something about him don't you?" Seras questioned.

"Yes. But I cannot confirm nor deny my suspicions because I can sense nothing else unusual about him other than he looks like someone I knew long ago." Alucard answered.

Demir and Aiesha stood listening in on Alucard and Seras's conversation. His expression was one of concern and apprehension.

"The girl suspects nothing. She cannot sense what we are." Demir said telepathically.

"But her sire can?" Aiesha asked.

"His being here is becoming an unanticipated problem. I did not ever expect to ever meet up with Vlad Dracula again. The power that protects us can do nothing about a memory that spans five hundred years. No doubt those memories are being awakend now that he has seen my face." Demir answered.

"What are we to do now?"

"We will ensnare the dragon, and give Lilith the honor of slaying him."
