THE HELLSING MANSION, LATE AFTERNOON…

The black Rolls-Royce made a graceful circle in front of the huge house, then came to a stop near the entrance. Exiting the Rolls, Berttle, Australian member of the Wild Geese and supervisor of the motor pool, made his way to the driver’s side rear door and opened it. “There we are, love. I’ll get your bags.”

Looking around as she exited, Misty Brown stood in awe as she surveyed the huge mansion. “Gosh,” she breathed, taking in the incredible sight, “so this is where Rally lives now.”

“That she does, love,” Berttle replied, overhearing. “Well… not in the main rooms, but in the sub-basement level… if you catch my meaning.” Misty nodded as the Australian got her suitcases from the boot of the Rolls. “Anyway, why don’t we get you settled in, love. I’m certain the lady would want to talk to you.”

“I don’t understand one thing,” said Misty. “I said I could get my own hotel room. Why did Sir Integra insist that I stay here?”

“Well,” Berttle began, “the lady thought, since you were Sir Integra’s friend, she figured that you deserved better, so she decided to take you in, love.”

“Well ‘allo there, Miss,” another voice called out. Both Misty and Berttle turned to see Pip Bernadotte, leader of the Wild Geese, stroll towards them. “Okay Berttle, I’ll take zese from here. You get yourself to ze motor pool and make sure ze transports are in good shape in case we have to roll-out tonight.”

“Are you certain, Captain?” Berttle questioned, noticing the bandaged condition of his commander. “You’re still a little banged-up from two days ago.”

“A good soldier never gives up, no matter how many injuries he has,” Pip countered, moving to Misty’s baggage. “Now Mademoiselle, if you would allow me, I will take zese bags to your room and…” But the minute he want to lift the bags, Pip’s face contorted into a very painful grimace, then abruptly set down the bags, staggered to the Rolls and leaned on it. “MERDE!” he gasped, “MY… MY RIBS…”, grasping his injured ribs.

“Well, your subordinate DID warn you about your condition before you made the attempt, so I should not complain about the results,” Walter C. Dolnez commented dryly, appearing next to Pip. “I suggest you get yourself to your room and continue to rest for the next few days. You would do Sir Integra no good in your current state.” Pip didn’t complain, just nodding as he struggled to get up.

Misty just looked at all this and asked, “Excuse me… but what exactly happened to him?”

“Oh, just the result of a mission gone wrong, Miss Brown,” Walter dismissed. “I would not worry too much about him, though. He’ll be alright… provided he continues to rest.” Motioning to several of the household staff, he made instructions to have Misty’s bags taken upstairs. “Now if you will follow me, I believe Sir Integra would like you to join her for High Tea.”

Misty brightened. “Really? I just might do that!” Following the old butler, the former catburglar made her way inside the mansion, taking in the décor of the place.

After a few minutes of going through the hallways, the two came to a drawing room, where Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing was seated at a table, some of the staff setting out sandwiches and pastries, with a pot of Earl Gray tea steaming in the center. “Well, nice to see you, Miss Brown. I am sorry that Rally cannot be present for this, she is currently on assignment and should return shortly,” she began, “Please, be seated. I am certain you have many questions that need answering.” Misty nodded, then sat herself down. “Thank you, Walter. That will be all for now.” Walter bowed slightly, then made his way out.

Misty simply watched as Walter left, then turned her attention back to Sir Integra. The Hellsing leader had poured herself a cup of tea and was preparing to pour one for her guest. “I must admit,” Sir Integra began, “we were caught a little off-guard about your arrival. Please forgive me if we seem a little rushed.”

“Oh I’m not worried,” Misty said, smiling. “In fact, I’m a little honored that you were able to fit me in so soon.”

“I am glad about it,” Sir Integra said. “However, there are a few things I need to know first.” She then took a breath and continued, “Are you aware about Rally Vincent’s current circumstances?”

“I know that Rally’s a vampire now,” Misty said plainly. “May, Becky and Roy told me what had happened to her… and what she did to Goldie.”

“Rally said you never mentioned that you already knew of that fact in your letter to her,” Sir Integra inquired, a little surprised about her candor.

“Well… I thought it was something one shouldn’t place in the public mails,” Misty explained. “I mean… you don’t really know who or what might be reading you mail these days.”

Sir Integra nodded. “Understandable.”

“By the way,” Misty added, “I noticed that there were several weak areas in your mansion’s security and thought I should bring it up to you.” She straightened up and added, “I used to be a catburgler. When I was looking for a score during those days, I usually look for weaknesses in security to exploit while I cased the place I was going to hit. Nowadays, I’m working for a security company now, and often used my skills from my former job to look for weaknesses, using a criminal’s point-of-view.”

“Interesting,” Sir Integra said. “If you will give me a list of these deficiencies, I will submit them to Walter so that they can be addressed.”

“But I haven’t came all this way just to give you a security assessment,” said Misty, sounding more serious. “I just want to know whatever would cause Rally to choose becoming a vampire in the first place.”

“Why indeed, Miss Brown,” Alucard’s voice came out of nowhere. Both Misty and Sir Integra had startled looks as the No-Life King walked through the wall towards them. “That is a very interesting question you pose.”

Misty nearly jumped out of her seat, her eyes wide seeing Alucard making such an entrance. As for Sir Integra, she did get out of her seat – only she was red-faced with anger. “DAMN IT ALL, ALUCARD!!!” she yelled. “I WARNED YOU ABOUT FRIGHTNING OUR GUEST!!!”

“Then how do you wish I would make my entrance, Master?” Alucard suavely said. “Certainly she had expected something more out of the ordinary from it.”

“But not to the point of scaring her!” the Hellsing leader shot back.

“Sir Integra… it’s alright!” Misty called out, defusing the hostility. “Granted, I wasn’t expecting… such an entrance, but I figured something like this might happen.” Turning to the No-Life King, she then said, “Mr. Alucard, I appreciate you for coming. My guess is that you, along with Sir Integra, are familiar with what had happened to Rally… and why she became a vampire.”

“Indeed I am, as well as my master,” said Alucard, losing his arrogant attitude and sitting down. “Miss Brown, you have to know that your friend Rally Vincent did not take embracing the night lightly. If she could have, she would’ve wished to die as a human, but the circumstances did not allow that. She only became a vampire so that she would be able to save her friend May from an unfortunate fate. And please, there’s no need to refer to me as ‘Mr. Alucard’. Just my name is enough.”

“Fair enough… I guess,” Misty added. “Well, as long as you can call me ‘Misty’, I’ll listen to what you say.”

“Why thank you,” Alucard answered, bowing his head while taking off his hat and glasses. He then looked to Sir Integra and added, “Now, if I can have a serving of this fine tea, I believe we can have our discussion.”

“Alright,” Sir Integra said, still unsure if having her servant vampire present was a good idea. He WAS behaving like a gentleman… but she wondered how long it was going to last.

AN UPSTAIRS ROOM AT ARISUWAGA’S LOCKET, AT THE SAME TIME…

A portable alarm clock beeped incessantly as two woman, both of them naked and asleep, laid on a bed, various sex toys strewn on the floor. No longer human, Irene “Rally” Vincent awoke as many vampires do – rapidly and without hesitation. Leaning over, she switched-off the clock, then stretched out. Finally relaxing, she looked next to her, and smiled as she saw her master, Seras Victoria, still asleep.

A wicked smile came over Rally’s face as she carefully worked her right hand into the covers under the two vampires’ bodies – specifically, near Seras. She didn’t want to alert her master – she knew firsthand that vampires were ever alert, even when asleep. Quietly, Rally worked her dusky hand until she found her target – the crotch of her master.

Her efforts were rewarded when she heard Seras gasp with surprise, Rally’s fingers quickly slipping between the slit of the Draculina’s sex… and the gradually hardening knob of Seras’ clitoris. “Uhh… Rally,” she gasped, her fledgling’s fingers working their magic, “we really… oh… don’t… OHHH!!!”

“Have the time?” Rally smirked, licking and sucking the nipple of one of Seras’ large breasts. “I think we can make the time… Master.” Quickly, she made her manipulations, Seras writhing in pleasure. Thirty seconds later, she was rewarded upon seeing her master’s quaking release, Seras nearly passing out from her orgasm.

Now Seras laid on the bed, panting from her pleasure. Glancing sideways, she smiled as she said, “That was a bit underhanded, you know that, Rally?”

“Maybe, Master,” added Rally slyly, slowly licking her master’s vaginal secretions from her fingers before kissing her master’s lips deeply, “but it felt good… didn’t it?”

The Draculina nodded, reveling in the taste of her sex on Rally’s lips. “Not exactly the most original way to wake someone up… but it is the most fun way.”

“Sure is.” Rally looked at the alarm clock and further said, “We better hurry… gotta leave this place in time to catch the tide.”

“Yes,” Seras said, getting up. “We better save time by showering together.”

“Are you sure that’s the right idea?” the dusky vampire asked. “You know whenever we do that, we tend to get a little…” she smiled as she added, “playful and lose track of time.”

“That’s the risk we have to take,” Seras answered, smiling. “You got a better idea?” Rally shook her head.

The two vampires did shower together… and like Rally predicted, she and Seras did indulge in brief – but rewarding sex play while doing so. However, the two kept note on the time and managed to finish their shower before they got too involved in their passions.

Fifteen minutes later, both of them had dried themselves off and gotten dressed. Seras had finished putting on the white stockings that were part of her yellow uniform and was about to strap on her boots when a knocking came from the door. Rally, about to put on her leather jacket, got up from the bed to answer the door… and was a little startled with who was on the other side.

Standing at the door, a small cart with a covered tray with her, was what appeared to by a 10 year-old girl with pink eyes and hair of brilliant electric blue tied in two ponytails. But the thing that confused Rally was the creature on top of the girl’s head. Quadrapedal, the small animal had brown fur resembling a cat’s, but with long ears and a powder-puff tail of a rabbit. Rally was hard-pressed in trying to figure out if this was a stuffed doll or a live creature. It turned out to be the latter when the creature looked up with her yellow eyes and said, “Meow?”

“Good afternoon,” the girl said with a smile. “Juri was wondering if you and your girlfriend would come down and do a little favor for her?”

“Uh… just a minute, Miss…” Rally started. “Excuse me… but… who exactly are you?”

“Oh my name is Sasami,” the girl said, “and this is Ryo-Ohki,” indicating the animal.

“Meow,” Ryo-Ohki added, cocking her head and smiling.

“Uh… okay, let me ask my master. I’ll get back to you,” Rally answered, still staring at the cabbit. Sasami simply smiled.

Walking over to Seras, who had finished putting on her boots, Rally bent over and said, “Master, it seems our host has a favor for us and wants us to come down for it.”

“I don’t see anything wrong about it, Rally,” the Draculina shrugged. “Sure. But I’m certain we’ll still have plenty of time to cross the Thames.”

“I just want to be able to talk to Misty,” Rally explained. “Speaking of which,” she returned to Sasami. “Excuse me, but about my human counterpart and her Misty…”

“Oh they left this morning,” Sasami answered. “I guess the other Rally wanted to tell her friends about her engagement.” She then wheeled the cart inside the room. “Here, Juri thought you girls should have some refreshments before you leave.”

“Thanks,” Rally said, taking the cart from Sasami, “we’ll be down soon.”

As soon as the door closed, Sasami made her way to the stairs. Standing at the landing, though, stood a busty brown-haired girl in a red maid’s uniform. “They should be down in a little bit, May,” she told the cyberdoll. “After that, you’ll be able to clean their room.”

“Nice to know. Thank you, Sasami,” May said cheerfully. After Sasami and Ryo-Ohki had left, she looked towards the room and said to herself, “I wonder if they made a mess of the room like the others did. It’s a good thing I’m doing the cleanup and not Mahoro, otherwise she would’ve thrown away the sex toys. She’s good, and very tolerant… but a bit too pure-hearted for cleaning all these rooms.”

Back inside the room, Rally lifted the lid on the cart, revealing two glasses of blood. “I wonder if they got some dumb-waiter system to this level,” she said, handing one glass to Seras. “It would be pretty awkward for that little girl trying to carry this tray with these glasses.”

“Not to mention messy if you happen to drop it,” Seras added, accepting the glass, with Rally nodding in agreement.

The two were silent as they consumed their blood. Then Rally broke the silence, “Master… I was wondering about that little trick you used on me when you left me alone with Misty…”

“Just a method of discipline that Master had taught me after he freed me,” the Draculina said. “It’s only effective as long as we’re bonded.” She paused before continuing, “I’m sorry about using it, Rally. I’ll try to avoid using it in the future, but I cannot promise I’ll never use it again. And one of the times it may happen,” she sighed, “it could be painful. Believe me… I know how it could feel.”

Rally sided over to Seras and gave her a small peck on the cheek. “I understand,” she said in a low, kind voice. “I’m still new at this vampire thing… and if I get out-of-line, then I guess I deserve it.” She then polished off her blood, then finished with, “We better get going. I like to know what this favor Juri wants from us.”

Seras also got up, placing her empty glass on the cart tray along with Rally’s. “I think you’re impatient to see Misty,” she quipped.

“That too, Master,” Rally chuckled.

Five minutes later, both Rally and Seras wondered WHY in the world they accepted Juri’s invitation for her favor. The main reason was that both of them were sitting next to each other – and they both had a similar device on their heads, a small yellow ball with feet and blinking eyes! “I feel stupid,” Rally grumbled, her face betraying a sour look.

“Agreed. This is bloody ridiculous,” growled Seras. “How much longer do we have to have these silly things on our heads?”

“Patience, patience, you two,” a somewhat lively voice admonished. “Genius like mine shouldn’t be hurried, after all.” The source of the voice was what appeared to be a young girl that had long crablike bright red hair. She seemed to be working on what looked like a keyboard, but it looked like two transparent black panels. The girl looked up at the two vampires, her emerald green eyes twinkling and added, “Who knows… maybe after I’m done, I’ll give you two a lollypop!” Both Rally and Seras groaned aloud.

“Provided you can find some that are blood-flavored, Washu,” Juri Arisugawa commented wryly, standing at the bar along with Ryoko Hakubi, Minagi, and Sasami. And they were not alone – Juri’s newlywed wife Setsuna Meiou was also there, along with Haruka Tenoh and her lover Michiru Kaioh.

Some of the other employees of Arisugawa’s Locket were there as well: Ramna Saotome, Hitomi Kanzaki, Hyatt, as well as Hyatt’s lover Excel Excel, and Keiko Sonoda – who was awaiting May’s return, all stood in front of the two vampires. “Wow,” Excel commented, her eyes wide, “you weren’t kidding, Ha-chan! Other than the eyes, that vampire Rally is just like the other one!” Hyatt just nodded wearily, limply sagging next to Excel.

“I’m blown away by the similarities as well,” Haruka added, just as amazed. Michiru nodded as well.

“I’m just grateful you were able to prevent any trouble, Juri,” Setsuna said, leaning next to Juri. “I knew there was the risk of alike versions running into each other, but I never thought it would be vampires!”

“I think you’re just grateful I wasn’t hurt in the whole thing, love,” Juri commented, caressing Setsuna’s cheek. Looking over to Washu Hakubi, who was still working at her holographic desktop, she added, “How much longer?”

“That’s what I’d like to know,” Rally growled. “I look ridiculous having this yellow ball on my head!”

“Just a minute, I’m getting the final readings… now!” Washu then made a few more calculations, then opened up a small black hole in front of Juri. “Okay, Juri,” she said, “now stick you hand into that portal and get it.”

Looking dubiously at the hole, Juri complied. After a few seconds of poking through it, she withdrew her hand, in it a device which looked like a cellphone. “That’s it?” she asked.

“I’ll explain as soon as I clean-up here,” Washu muttered, then pressed a button which caused the devices on Rally and Seras’ heads to disappear. The two vampires then felt the tops of their heads and were surprised that they were gone. “Thanks for your co-operation, girls,” the emerald-eyed genius said.

“Grateful… I think,” Seras said, still amazed that the embarrassing devices were gone.

“Nice to know,” quipped Washu, then turned to face Juri. “Okay, now about that device, take a closer look at it.” Juri did, then showed everyone an image of the Hellsing Coat of Arms on the flip-lid of the device. “To answer what questions you may be thinking of, yes that’s a cellphone. However, that’s a very special cellphone, which will direct calls to these two’s,” thumbing to Rally and Seras, “home dimension… and ONLY to the Hellsing Organization itself!”

“That’s nice to know,” Rally added, “but why would you want to make such a device in the first place?”

“To fulfill a promise I made last night,” Juri said, stepping forward. “When I was talking to Sir Integra, I found out from her about the problems you were having with a very specific microchip and the effects it causes.”

“Yes, the FREAK chip,” Seras put in.

“Exactly,” Juri agreed. “Since this place has now appeared in your dimension, there stands a good chance whoever or whatever is creating this chip may try to use this place to distribute it from here. Last night, I asked Ryoko if she could ask her mother,” pointing to Washu, “if she could find a way to contact her if we find someone trying to push that chip here. Now that I do, I will be able to make the contact if that sort of thing occurs.”

“That sounds like a good idea,” said Rally. Then remembering a bit of what Juri said, she made a double-take at Washu and gasped, “Hey wait a minute – she Ryoko’s mother? She looks to me she’s twelve!”

Sasami giggled, then said, “Washu’s much older than she appears… and she’s not the only one!” The little girl’s form then shimmered, then morphed into her Tsunami form, startling the vampires, and added as she leaned closer to Minagi, “We all have our little secrets, Rally Vincent,” her voice sounding more mature. “I know this sounds incredible, but we all learned that our differences could help us all” She pointed out Hitomi and added further, “It was because of her extrasensory abilities that we were able to determine that you and your master were not a threat to us, and that maybe one day you could possibly be an ally to us.”

“So I wouldn’t sweat it,” Haruka said. “You’re just a unique part of this place, just like any of the girls that comes to have a good time.”

Rally and Seras smiled. “We’re glad to hear that,” the Draculina finally said. “And I hope maybe you can be a help to the Hellsing Organization when we need it.”

“I’m certain we can,” Setsuna said.

“Juri,” Rally added, “Washu said that you can use that cellphone to contact Integra about the FREAK chip. I was wondering if you can use it to contact Hellsing for other purposes?”

“Like what?” Juri asked.

“Well… it’s concerning my human counterpart and her Misty,” said Rally. “I was wondering… when they set a date for their wedding, if you can use it to let us know if we’re invited to it?”

Juri shrugged. “Why not? It’s not like I can use it ONLY for the instance of the FREAK chip. And I supposed I can let you know about other events over here.”

“That’s nice,” Seras said. “Well, if you won’t be needing us further, I think me and my fledgling will be taking our leave of you.”

“Yes,” added Rally, “my Misty should be at the Hellsing mansion by now and I’m looking forward to meeting her.”

“Then I won’t be keeping you from your obligations,” Juri said. “Rally, you and Seras are more than welcome to come back here when your duties allow.”

“I think we will, won’t we Master?” Rally ask.

Seras nodded, picking up her’s and Rally’s overnight bag. “Why not? This is a good place, and all of you are very fascinating. Me and Rally would be honored to return.”

“I’m glad to hear that,” Juri added. “We would love to see you back. Who knows – maybe Seras, you might meet YOUR counterpart here!”

“Thanks… but I think Rally’s is enough for us,” the Draculina laughed humorlessly as she and Rally waved goodbye.

The two soon found themselves outside. The sun was up, so Rally placed her special sunglasses on. “I wouldn’t blame you for not wishing to see your counterpart, Master,” she said, placing the bag in the trunk. “From what I’ve heard, she and her Sir Integra have more of an active relationship that you and our Integra.”

“Personally, I wouldn’t concern yourself with my personal life,” Seras said, the two entering the Cobra, “but I do appreciate your feelings nonetheless.”

“Well, enough about the future right now,” Rally added as she hit the speed dial on her cellphone, “let’s focus on the present right now.”

The phone rang twice before it picked up. “Hellsing residence,” the voice of Walter said, “how can I help you?”

“Walter, It’s Rally,” the dusky vampire began. “Me and Master have left Arisugawa’s Locket and are about to start heading home. Do you know if Misty arrived yet?”

“Why yes, she arrived over an hour ago,” the old butler said. “She, along with Sir Integra, are talking to Alucard while we’re…”

“WHAT!?!? ALUCARD’S WITH MISTY!?!?” Rally yelled. Throwing the cellphone to Seras, she gunned the Cobra’s engine as she tore away.

“Miss Vincent? Is there something wrong?” Walter’s voice called out from the cellphone.

“We’ll get back to you later, Walter,” Seras replied. She then switched off the phone, then shook Rally’s shoulder. “What are you doing? Slow down!”

“I’m not going to let that creep Alucard frighten Misty,” Rally growled through her teeth. Seras just shook her head. She could discipline Rally for her carelessness – but to avoid an accident, she just found the seat belts and prayed that they didn’t.

THE HELLSING MANSION, FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER…

The Cobra somehow managed to make it back to the mansion without either wrecking or the two getting pulled over. As soon as it made it to the motor pool, though, Rally jumped out of the driver’s seat and raced into the mansion. Berttle, working on one of the organization’s troop transports, managed to pull himself from under it. “What’s got her all so fired-up, love?” he asked Seras.

“Later,” the Draculina said. “Right now, I better warn Master that Rally’s coming.” She then concentrated, sending her telepathic message.

Remembering the house rules, Rally’s pace slowed to a brisk pace as she entered the great room. “Ah Miss Vincent, you are back. How was your trip… and where is Miss Victoria?” asked Walter, who was polishing one of the banisters of the great staircase.

“Right behind me,” replied Rally, rather sharply. “Where’s Misty?”

“She is in the drawing room, along with Sir Integra and Alucard,” the butler replied.

“Thanks,” was all Rally said as she hurried in the general direction of the drawing room. Walter just sighed as he continued with his work.

The double doors to the drawing room burst open, Rally’s face a mixture of anger and concern. “Okay, Alucard!” she snarled, “You better not put you scuzzy hands on Misty or I’ll…” but then stopped dead in her tracks.

Misty, Alucard and Sir Integra were sitting in comfortable chairs, apparently engaged in quiet conversation. “Oh hi, Rally!” Misty called out. “Nice of you to come by!”

Rally then ran to Misty’s side, holding her shoulders in a show of concern. “Are you alright, Misty? Alucard didn’t hurt you or anything?”

“Rally?” Sir Integra asked, looking confused. “Why in the world would Alucard do anything like that?”

“Take it easy, Rally,” Misty giggled, removing Rally’s hands from her shoulders. “Alucard was a perfect gentleman. We had High Tea when I arrived, during which we talked about what happened to you. But it’s nice you were so concerned.”

Now Rally’s face had a look of disbelief. She stared at the No-Life King, who was looking at her with a look of smug self-assurance. “Alucard… a perfect gentleman?” she muttered, still looking at Alucard doubtfully.

“Now why in the world would you doubt your friend’s word, fledgling?” drolled the nosferatu. “I do have more than five hundred years of experience in these matters.” He then got himself up, saying, “I believe I will be going to check on Walter, see how he’s faring.” He then disappeared from view.

“And I believe I have got paperwork that needs tending to,” the Hellsing leader added, also getting up. “Rally, this might be an opportunity to reacquaint yourself with Miss Brown, so I will be leaving you two alone.”

“I-Integra – wait!” Rally sputtered, but it was no use. Sir Integra had left both vampire and human alone. Feeling like she had a pit inside her stomach, Rally finally turned to Misty. “I… I guess I got a lot of explaining to do…”

“Rally, don’t worry,” Misty began, motioning Rally to sit down, “I already know. Before I came here, I learned what happened to you from May, then Roy and Becky.”

“So… you already knew… that I’m a vampire,” replied Rally in a low voice. “Then… why did you came here?”

“Because I wanted to learn more of what had happened – how Goldie had kidnapped May to get to you, how you went to rescue her,” Misty then took a deep breath before continuing, “and how you died, then became a vampire and killed Goldie. Rally – I could never be as brave as you were.”

“Actually,” the dusky vampire began, her head bowed, “what had happened was that I blundered into one of Goldie’s traps, and in doing so ended up like this for perhaps all eternity.” Rally then looked up to her friend, a single bloody tear trailing down one eye, “But I think the most difficult thing I’m doing right now,” she managed to choke out, “is facing you. I… I feel like I screwed up what could’ve been the best thing in my life…” but then stopped when Misty blotted out the tear.

“It’s alright, Rally,” she said, smiling. “I know about Seras, too… and believe me, I couldn’t be happier for you. Granted, I still love you… but to tell you the truth, I was the one to screw up, not you.” She then settled down before continuing, “I was the one who ran when Goldie returned, not you. You didn’t care at all about her.”

“Gosh, Misty,” Rally managed to say, “I don’t know what to say. I mean… you know that me and Master are lovers… and you don’t mind?”

“Of course I don’t mind, Rally,” the brown-haired girl said. “You managed to straighten out my life, I’m forever grateful for that. If it weren’t for you, I could’ve ended up in prison… or dead.”

‘That’s funny, that was exactly what the other Misty said about her Rally,’ the dusky vampire thought ironically. Standing up, Rally gathered up Misty in her arms and said, “I’m glad to hear you say that, Misty. Ever since I got that letter from you… my mind has been a mess trying to figure out what to say to you.”

“Well, I’m sorry if I worried you so much,” Misty laughed. “But there is one thing I like to do before I leave tomorrow.”

“And what’s that?” Rally asked.

“May told me that, before you left with the Hellsing Organization,” Misty started, “that she, Roy and Becky gave you units of their blood.” Rally nodded. “I was wondering if I can donate a unit of blood to give to you?”

Rally smiled. “Misty… I’d be honored if you would.” The two then embraced each other, reveling in the silence between them…

…Until someone cleared their throat. Startled, and still in an embrace, Rally and Becky turned to the drawing room’s entrance, where Seras was leaning on the jamb, smiling. “Excuse me,” she said slyly, “but what exactly are your intentions towards my fledgling, Miss Brown?”

“Uhhh…” Misty moaned, a little startled.

Rally, however, laughed. “C’mon, Master, stop teasing her. Oh how rude, I should introduce you two.” She broke the embrace and turned Misty around. “Misty, this is the person whom I call ‘Master’, Seras Victoria.”

“Pleased to meet you, Misty,” Seras began, but was startled when Misty embraced her.

“You were the one who saved Rally,” said Misty, still hugging Seras. “I’m so happy you were the one who did so.” A little concerned, the Draculina looked up to Rally, who was smiling smugly.

“Uh… thank you… I think,” replied Seras, feeling a little embarrassed. Breaking-off the embrace, she continued with, “Look, why don’t we sit down for a while. I’m certain we’ve got a lot to talk about.”

“Okay,” chirped Misty. Then all three of them set themselves down, where they engaged in a happy conversation, one that lasted until the wee hours of the morning.
