Chapter 33: First Date
Candy yawned as she signed another paper. Why couldn't she just use a stamp or something? And damn Police Girl was in charge of looking over her today while the men were off doing.. something.. She always seemed to know when she would take a break to doodle and would get onto her for it.. That damn accent was annoying the crap out of her too!
"Alucard! Please come home soon! Your fledgling is driving me crazy!!" She screamed mentally, but received only his laughter in her mind as a responce along with a mental pat on the head. She whimpered in defeat and let her head fall noisily to the desk.
The moment alucard phased into the office a couple of hours later, he found himself attacked by a cuddly Candy to the floor. "I MISSED YOU!!!!!!" Seras just watched in surprise. How did she know exactly the second he'd phase into the room? After a second, the the shock wore off and he hugged her back with a hardy laugh. "I missed you too, Sweetheart."
He turned to his fledgling after helping his Fluff Ball up from the floor, "You may return to your other duities, Police Girl." She bristled slightly at the name, but gave a curt bow and left the office without complaint.
He gently pried his Fluff Balls' arms from around his waist, "I love you too, Sweetheart, but, there's something we need to discuss." He led her over to her chair and took a seat before pulling her into his lap and she waited patently for him to continue.
He was about to start when a knock came to the door and Walter poked his head in, "Miss Candy, the Knights are here to see you. They insist that it's quite urgent."
She groaned in annoyance, she just wasn't having a good day. Perhaps she could make things better by scaring the crap out of one of the old farts? Alucard laughed at her thoughts as he escorted her to the confrence room.
None of the men were surprised to see her enter with her pet monster at her side. Disgusted, yes, but not surprised. There were also several younger men waiting in there as well.
A piece of paper was slid over to her as she took her seat and her pet took his place standing directly behind her chair. "An order from the Queen herself." The old coot said, sounding quite full of himself.
She gently broke the wax seal and read the contents. Alucard groweld in dissaproval as he read it over her shoulder, causing everyone (save for Candy) to jump.
The man whom had given her the letter cleared his throat to try and keep the nerviousness out of his voice. "Yes. As it says, you must chose a Nobleman to marry by the new year or one will be appointed to you. We have taken the liberty of selecting the finest of available bachelors for you to chose from and you must have a legitamate reason for declining any of them."
She looked the young men over with distain as the old farts cackled to themselves. So they figured that they could marry her off to some idiot whom they could controll and she'd just have to play the 'good little wife' and take whatever he dicided on? What a load of bull shit! There had to be a loophole in there somewhere.
"We have also taken the libery of arranging your dates with the men. If you back out of a single one without rescedualing, then you forfiet your right to choose whom you marry. The same applies if your monster interfears with any of the dates."
She sighed as Alucard looked over the letter a few more times to find a loophole, "Well, you jack asses just got all the angles covered there don't you?" She rolled her eyes as they puffed up with pride at their inevitable 'victory'.
Alucard snatched up their little scedual and looked it over, completely pissed before getting an idea and giving the old farts a twisted smile. They looked at eachother, scared, before one spoke up. "Y-You can't mess with that!"
He laughed as he produced a pen and added a little something to the page. "You can't do that! The Queen said it has to be a Nobleman! Y-you're nothing but a servant!"
He slid the page back to the old fart with a laugh, "My title was never taken from me."
Walter was the one who had to begrudgengly admit, "He's right. His title was never officially taken from him."
"But she still has to give a legitamite reason to not marry any of these men! And I'm sure we can all think of many reasons for the Monster to not be allowed to even participate!" He held some hope in his voice, but Alucard quickly stamped it out. "There's nothing here that says anyone is not given a chance so long as he's a Noble." The Queen left him some very large loopholes to play with. Here was another: He could not interfear with the Human dates.. Candy wasn't exactly Human, now was she? There was also nothing against her messing up the dates or her bringing along a friend.. He would need to be there to protect her after all. There was nothing against him giving her suggestions or telling her what her 'date' was thinking, which could easily ruin the Human's chances with her in an instant. Oh, there was quite a bit of chance for fun here after all!
He looked down at his Fluff Ball to see her brooding. How dare they try to controll her like that! "Don't worry, love. I can think of so many ways for us to have fun with this. Just be patent." He stroked her hair lovingly as his words echoed through her mind and a small smile formed on her lips. "Alright. I'll do it. I'll go out with these morons if it'll make you geezers leave me alone. But it's my choice who I marry not yours." She leaned into her pet's touch as his hands moved down her neck and to her shoulders. "And I assure you boys, it won't be easy to win my heart and that's the only way you'll get me to even consider marrying you." She rested a hand atop his as it rested on her shoulder, "You've got some stiff competition as well." She smiled sweetly as they all looked at the monster with mixed emotions and he only smiled back with a toothy grin, showing off his long, sharp fangs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, who's the idiot I have to waste my time on tonight?" Candy's voice came through the bathroom door as she got ready. Alucard produced the paper with her dates on it while he reclined on her bed. "Sir Jhon Scanty." The paper dissapeared quickly as he rested his head back down on the pillow, wishing she didn't have to go with this little piss ant. True he would be there as her protection, but he would much rather it be only the two of them.
He stoped his brooding and let his jaw drop as she stepped out of the restroom in her dress. She had on a gorgeous black gown that she had made herself. The sleeves hung off her shoulders to tease him with a full view of her long white neck while the full skirt skimmed the ground with it's lace trim and the deep red sash tied around her waist like a belt hung in a pretty bow in front of her right hip. Her red hair was done up partially in a bun with an elegant silver piece holding it in like a cage, covered in swirling silver leaves while the rest of her hair hung in elegant chunky curls down her back. Deep red lipstick played beautifuly across her full lips as her eyes were done up in her usual Asian style. It was simple, yet elegant.
He quickly stood up and walked a circle around her, looking her over before shaking his head dissaprovingly. "No, that won't due at all. That Human doesn't deserve to see you looking so magnificent." He pulled her into a possesive hug as she giggled. "I didn't dress up for him, silly, I dressed up for you." She said as she leaned her head back to rest on his shoulder, her eyes closed as she enjoyed his nearness. Fuck the Human idiot, she was only dressing up for her Alucard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scanty waited nerviously at the restraunt for his date. She was cute the day he'd first seen her at the conference. She'd been wearing a cute, fluffy dress and looked like a little girl with her hair down with a simple ribbon in it and her bright, innocent smile the moment she walked in. If that's how she dressed for work every day, then he could only immagine how she'd look dressed up for a nice date.
He stood nerviously as a limo pulled up to the restraut. A tall man stepped out before helping Miss Candice out of the car. His eyes about popped out of his head as he saw her in her pretty black dress and her long red curls shining brightly in the afternoon sun making it look as though she had a halo atop her head. He took her hand and placed a kiss atop it, "You look amazing tonight, Miss Candice." She only had time to give him a small smile before he led her to their table.
Alucard rolled his eyes at the kid's stupidity and decided to demonstrate the proper way to lead a lady to her seat. The kid sat himself down before noticing that her escort had come with her, her arm looped through his before he let her go and pulled out her chair for her. He felt stupid as she smiled gratefuly to the man and he realized that that's something he should have done for her. He was thankful, however, that the man decided to sit at another table.
It didn't take long for the next screw up. He ordered the wine without even asking if she drank, and ordered her meal for her, without saying anything to her. Alucard fixed the order for her thankfully; steak medium rare, not well done like had been ordered. The fool didn't even say anything when he noticed her order was wrong. She never touched the wine, just stuck to the water as he babbled on and on about pathetic crap that she could care less about. Thankfuly, Alucard kept her entertained with silly comments. Mostly when he'd say something that had a double meaning (usually dirty). He also let her know when the kid's eyes or thoughts were drifting to an inapropriate area.
"My eyes are up here." She let him know that she knew where he was staring. His eyes snapped up to hers as his cheeks flared red. She rolled her eyes before changing the subject to something a bit more relevent. "So, your favorite weapon? Sword, gun..?"
"What?.. Oh.. um.. I don't like violence." She smiled, "That's too bad, it's so much fun." His eyes grew to the size of saucers as she continued. "I personally like swords and knifes.. anything with a blade, really. Guns just make killing far too easy especially whith the lazer scopes. I mean, anyone can point at something and pull a damn trigger, it takes skill to weild a blade properly and effectively. Besides, you can really get up there into the action and feel the blade slicing through the flesh, the blood spraying on your face.." She shivered at the thought. "Then there's the chance of getting yourself injured. Have you ever felt a sharp blade slicing through your own flesh? Ooooh, such delicious pain."
His eyes were huge and his face pale as he listend to her infatuation with blades and blood. Alucard sat at his table, listening intently to her side of the argument while getting so turned on by her descriptions of blood flying and the wonderful feeling as the adrinaline pumps through your veins as you realize and relish the fact that your taking another's life.
He took the first chance he could to excuse himself to the restroom and Alucard quickly took his seat. "You scared him off, Sweetheart. He's planning on sneaking out the back." His smile grew as she giggled and he pulled out a special bottle of wine, making the crap in the glasses dissapear. "Love the descriptions of death and suffering." He poured her a glass, then himself. "This is a very special wine, one of my favorites. Made in my homelands.. You will try it, yes?"
She noded happily before taking a sip. "Blood?" He smiled and took a sip as well. "Yes. A specialty of my homeland, to mix a bit of vergin's blood into the wine." She giggled happily and took another sip, "It would taste better if it was your blood they'd put in it." He couldn't help but laugh, she did so love his blood.
"What is your favorite blade? I personally like the Hungarian War Sabers. Beautiful lines, well balenced, decent range.. What do you think?" He waited with a smile as she sipped her wine.
"Katana. Beautiful lines, nice range, blood looks amazing on it, and very fun technique and history to it's use." "How could such a pretty, delicate sword be more fun than a strong sword full of history, made for slaughtering masses?" Her smile grew as she anticipated the upcoming debate. "The katana may look delicate, but it was made for tough battle. The steel of the blade is folded over and over for maximum strength, the back edge is softer than the cutting edge, that along with the gentle curve alows the blade to flex when it strikes a very hard target rather than shatter. The mirror like polish of the blade alows it slice through almost anything with minimum friction. The way the katana is tested to see if it's ready is to slice through a Human body, usually criminals. The blades were ranked by how many bodies they could slice through with one swing. They were only considered to be good enough for a real warrior if they were two-body or better. Some of the best ones are three to four-body swords."
She giggled at the thought of getting to test out a new katana before the practice was stopped. "The katana I have is a four-body sword that was actually used in the battle of Sekigahara in 1599, one of the largest and bloodiest battles in Japanese history."
He smiled at her, impressed with her knowledge of the weapon. "Something like that should be in a museum not out being used... How did you get a hold of such a relic anyways?"
"Father Anderson gave it to me... I tried really hard to keep it on it's display rack, but it just keeps calling to me to use it. It has an insatiable thirst for blood."
They continued their disscusion for a couple of hours before the staff had enough of their creepy conversation and kicked them out. They continued their impromtu date with a walk through the city, their topic changing from swords to shorter blades to projectiles. He was very impressed by her knowledge of Japanese weaponry and absolutely loved the myths and legends behind them. He couldn't wait to see her collection once it arrived from America and see her demonstrate the use of the deadly arsenal of blades.
It was two thirty in the morning when they finally reached the front door of the mansion. They didn't bother calling for the limo to pick them up, they just walked, enjoying eachother's company. It had been such a long time sense Alucard had really enjoyed a conversation with anyone. No games, no teasing or trying to get a rise out of them, just talking and enjoying their presence. He prayed silently that things would stay this way between them. That they could remain friends and lovers, partners on the battlefeild and in the office.
Anderson was waiting for them when they entered the large foyer. "How'd ye date go, Kitten?" He looked at her smiling face and felt the same pride and joy a father would seeing his daughter so truly happy, and gave her a big hug.
"It was great.. Well, once the guy left, anyways." He couldn't help but laugh with her, she never did get along well with people her own age.
They slept well that night, wraped in eachothers loving embrace. There was no need or desire for anything more that night, just being near eachother was enough to show how much they truly cared for the other.
AN: And no, the katana is a figment of our imagination, we don't own it! ...damn... =T__T=
