Chapter 1: Trickery and The Organization

"Sesshoumaru...would you shut the hell up! I'm really getting sick of your constant criticism; you can really tell that you and Inuyasha are related! You're both bastards! Now shut it before I purify your demon ass all the way to the ninth level of hell!" The relaxing silence of the mid summers day was broken by a woman's angered yelling.
"Do not compare me to Inuyasha Kagome. We are nothing alike. And it is not my fault that you burnt the meat. You were talking too much, as usual, to pay attention to what you where cooking." Sesshoumaru responded flippantly.
"But you could smell that it was going to burn and you didn't bother telling me! When you knew I was in the middle of an important discussion with Sango over her pregnancy. Hell you could have lifted the meat of the fire so that it wouldn't burn! But noo you had to just sit there and wait for me to find out for myself." Kagome growled rivalling Sesshoumaru.
He raised his eyebrow at this.
"You did not ask me to watch the meat, you didn't ask me to alert you if it started burning. Nor tell me that once it was cooked to remove it from the heat. So how was I supposed to know?" He answered.
"COMMON SENSE! You know what that is don't you? Or have all those years of killing things made you stupid with normal day to day things Lord I'm-fucking-amazing?" Kagome growled again getting ready to slap him so hard.
"KAGOME! Watch your tongue before you lose it. And for the record I am fucking amazing as you to eloquently put it thank you for noticing." Sesshoumaru said sarcastically, growling also.
"Your poison against my purification! Lets see who wins that one. And yeah I noticed, you're fucking amazing at being an idiot, your welcome." Kagome yelled now nose to nose with the source of her ire.
Sesshoumaru glared down at her, growling deeply in warning, telling Kagome to back down.
"You're going too far female!"
"And I don't give a damn! I can defend myself against you Sesshoumaru and you know it!" Kagome snapped out through gritted teeth.
"Um if you two are done with your little argument. We could really use your damn help with Naraku and his freak show!" Inuyasha yelled pulling them both apart.
Both of their eyes widened when they seen Naraku headed their way along with his demons. They had been so engrossed in wanting to kill each other that they hadn't noticed the one person they wanted to kill more than one another. They growled at each other once more before turning around and grabbing their respective weapons and Kagome placed a barrier around Sango as none of the group let her fight while pregnant. So for the most part Sango became their eyes, yelling out openings, and demands to watch out, and move out of the way of a coming attack, it was extremely helpful and Sango didn't feel so useless.
As the demons swarmed they all started battling them off. Sesshoumaru and Kagome where back to back, Kagome covering him from behind with her arrows as he cut down demons in front of him and to the side. Inuyasha and Miroku doing the same only Miroku covered him by sucking in demon after demon with his wind tunnel as Inuyasha sliced and diced the demons coming at him in a full frontal.
Kagome had brought back medicine from her time, that if injected every day, protected Miroku from the venom of the saimyoshu so that he was free to suck them in to, which had turned out to be a major advantage for the group. As it not only prevented them from being a bother in battle, but also stopped Naraku from spying on them with the demonic bees.
The hoard of demons had drastically diminished, and a path to Naraku was beginning to form rapidly. Sesshoumaru saw this and motioned for Kagome to come with him so they could begin taking down the half breed. However Naraku had noticed this to and pulled out a glowing glass sphere, and when he felt that they were close enough he threw it to the ground and it exploded outward promptly engulfing Sesshoumaru and Kagome in a violet light. Neither could do anything other than shield their eyes from the blinding light. When it diminished both found themselves in the middle of a completely different battle field.
Shocked and dazed Kagome didn't realise they were in danger until Sesshoumaru pulled her to the ground as a bullet flew over the area where her head had been milliseconds before and shot through an ugly creature that turned to dust from the impact. Kagome screamed and attached herself to Sesshoumaru's neck, wanting to hold onto something solid. What the hell was going on and where the hell where they? She yelled out again when a hand rested on her shoulder and a woman's voice spoke with a heavy English accent.
"Oi you all right? I nearly took your bloody head from your shoulders."
Kagome looked up at the woman speaking to her to see blue eyes, and spiky blonde hair that just reached her shoulders.
"Yeah I'm alright, but who are you?" Kagome asked nervously.
"My names Seras Victoria. What about you two?"
"Um I'm Kagome Higurashi, and this is Sesshoumaru. Where are we?"
"You're in London, England, didn't you know that?" Seras asked confusion evident on her pretty face.
"No we don't know how we got here. What year is it?" Kagome asked.
"OK I think you're going to have to come with me. It's clear something has happened. My master and I will take you back to Hellsing and you can explain things to Sir Integra. And to answer your question the year is 2011." Seras explained as both Kagome and Sesshoumaru got up from the ground.
"Well, well, well what have you found here police girl?" A male voice came as Kagome cried again and attached herself to Sesshoumaru once more causing the demon lord to sigh the girl could be so jumpy at times.
"Master! Oh um their names are Kagome Higurashi and Sesshoumaru. And something drastic has happened. We'll need to take them back to Sir Integra, as for all intents and purposes they're civilians on English soil and have seen a ghoul." Seras answered to a tall man dressed in red and black holding two huge guns.
"I see well gather them into the R.V's and we'll make our way back to head quarters." The man responded.
"Yes Master Alucard, right away." Seras replied.
It didn't take long for them to return to the Hellsing Headquarters and it had taken quite a lot of persuasion on Kagome's part to convince Sesshoumaru that the armoured vans where not dangerous, and that they were a way of transportation. As you can imagine the other soldiers surrounding them gave funny looks at the two and Kagome supposed they did look rather odd. Here was a girl with bow and arrows attached to her back trying to calm down an oddly dressed man with silver hair that was crouched low and growling at the vans like they were going to jump and attack him. However she eventually managed to calm him, but he refused to get into one of the vans. So this caused Seras and Kagome to decide it was best to knock him out and bodily put him into one. Seras lifted her harkonnen cannon and hit Sesshoumaru firmly on the head causing the demon to see stars then promptly fall back into Sera's waiting arms. She lifted him with what seemed like no effort at all and placed him on one of the seats beside Kagome. As you can imagine Sesshoumaru groused quite a bit when he woke up, but eventually calmed.
They now found themselves standing in a large expansive office facing a platinum blonde woman, sitting behind her huge desk. Beside Sesshoumaru stood Seras, and the man now known as Alucard beside Kagome much to Sesshoumaru's displeasure he didn't like the thought of the male standing so close to Kagome. A thought that made him pause at the possessive feeling.
"O.K...do tell me once again, what happened before you found yourself here?" The woman asked in disbelief, she couldn't get her head around what she had just been told.
"Uhmm well, we where in the middle of a battle with a demon named Naraku in feudal Japan. As we went to attack him, he threw a sphere of some sort to the ground. It smashed and we were engulfed in a violet light and when it dispersed we found ourselves in that field." Kagome explained again it did not go unnoticed with her how crazy the explanation sounded.
"You say feudal Japan, and yet your companion here is the only one that looks to be from that period by his state of dress. But you on the other hand my dear do in fact look like a school girl from Japan, from this time. Care to explain that one to me?" The woman asked lighting a cigar and taking a deep drag.
"That is because I am from this time period. I'm from Tokyo Japan, I fell down a well that is on the grounds of my families shrine. I was fifteen at the time, and didn't know that I had the jewel of four souls in my body, which unlocked the wells magic, sending me back in time to feudal Japan, which is where I met Sesshoumaru. Who happens to be Lord of the Western Lands of Japan in that time which is five hundred years in the past." Kagome recounted.
"Right...you'll have to forgive me but I'm finding this rather hard to believe." The woman responded.
"Believe it master, for the girl is telling the truth, I can smell it. And her companion is a demon, a Dai-youkai might I add. Which for the record is the highest ranking demon in respect to power. And if you look up Lord Sesshoumaru Taisho in a history book, you will find a description of him." Alucard clarified.
"Which I have already done Sir Integra, and the description fits this lord exactly. He did rule the Western Lands of Japan, alongside his Lady, who's description fits this young woman's exactly. We are honoured to be in their presence. They were great rulers and they were also fair." An elder man dressed in butlers garb entered from a side door in the office.
"Ah so you both are married then?" Integra asked curiously. It was at this point Kagome passed out, Alucard catching her instantly.
"What happened there?" Integra asked "Was it something I said?"
"Apparently so Lady Integra. No Kagome and I are not mated. But clearly we are to be, if she becomes my Lady. It simply hasn't come to pass as yet. And I am assuming that Kagome realised this and that is the cause of her passing out." Sesshoumaru answered speaking for the first time since they entered, showing surprising fluency in English.
"Forgive my ignorance Lord Sesshoumaru but mated?" Integra asked giving him his respective title as Sesshoumaru had politely gave her the respectful title befitting of her status.
"Mated is the demonic and orvampiric"Sesshoumaru started looking pointedly at Alucard when he said Vampiric then continued "term used, when we take a mate. It is simply our version of marriage and taking a wife or husband. The only difference unlike humans we do not have a divorce procedure. Thence we are very, very picky on who we take as mate, as it is indeed for life. And if you chose wrongly...well eternity becomes very, very long and miserable. And who wants an eternity of suffering." Sesshoumaru explained causing Alucard to laugh at his joke about eternity. As he understood what the male meant.
And truly who wanted a woman that was insufferable and annoying, who you were stuck with until time stopped. But not to be sexist, he assumed that women were of the same viewpoint about men and eternity also. He looked down when he heard the little woman in his arms begin to stir.
You can imagine Kagome's shock when she woke and realised that Alucard was holding her bridal style, so you couldn't really blame her reaction when she saw two crimson orbs looking down into her own cerulean ones. She screamed. And scream she did causing even Integra to flinch. Seras burst out laughing at the other girls reaction even though she had, had to cover her own ears to prevent her sensitive ear drums from bursting. She did really feel sorry for her master, she was sure he was partially deaf in both ears due to his closeness to Kagome if not completely.
Kagome for her part was totally freaked when she woke to Alucard holding her, she hadn't expected him to be the one that caught her when she had fainted. So yes she had screamed and once she stopped, she looked at him and saw his eyes registering the pain she had just caused.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm sure that must have really hurt your ears. I didn't mean it, I just wasn't expecting you to be the one to catch me so it had surprised me." She apologised having the decency to look embarrassed.
"It is fine, my hearing will only be gone on holiday for a few days, then will return." Alucard joked to help lift the girls embarrassment. It must have worked because she giggled a little.
"Well I hope it has a nice time where ever it goes. I really am sorry though, it must not help, me screaming when you're a vampire and as such have very sensitive hearing." Kagome replied smiling at him a little. She laughed though when she seen his shock at her knowing what he was so she decided to clarify.
"I'm a miko, meaning I can sense demonic entities and know the difference between a vampire and a demon. I can tell what someone is from a mile off, just by their aura. I need to know so that I'm aware of how much power I need to purify the entity. In case you were wondering."
"I see...so why are you not purifying me little one?" Alucard asked.
"Oh I only purify someone if it's absolutely necessary. I don't just go around purifying this and that. I give people a chance. And usually...they're not all that bad. But there are a few instances were purification has been needed." Kagome answered. Alucard nodded at this his interest piqued at this strange female, however he wasn't stupid or deaf...well not totally, he could hear the low growl coming from Sesshoumaru. He growled back both males making sure they were low enough that humans couldn't pick it up, but loud enough so that both could hear the other.
'Don't growl at me young one lest you lose your tongue. I am not looking to take your female, she merely interests me. I have my own mate in mind...she's standing beside you. So relax pup other wise I shall force you and you will not like the ways in which I do.' Alucard spoke low and dangerous in Sesshoumaru's mind.
'My apologies elder, I am quite protective of the woman you now hold in your arms. Something I am sure you understand, as you would feel the same if I was to hold your intended in the same way for an extended period of time.' Sesshoumaru responded telepathically recognising that even though their power levels where the same, Alucard was older than Sesshoumaru, and it was custom in both races to show respect to your elders, it didn't matter if you were from the same race or not. If you didn't show the appropriate amount of respect for an elder, you were then at their mercy.
'Ah you are aware of the correct etiquette young one, this pleases me, though I would expect nothing less from one of Togas blood line. I was quite found of your father. And yes before you ask I did know him. We were of the same age when we met and you were but a pup just born.' Alucard answered.
'You knew him? How interesting? My father mentioned a lot of his friends, yet I never remember him mentioning you.'
'I'm not surprised, for back then I was known simply as Vlad Dracul from Romania.' Alucard said.
'Ah...I see yes he did mention you then. He told me you were especially fun to hunt with.' Sesshoumaru replied frowning as he heard deep manic laughter in his mind.
'Yes, yes your father and I went on many, many a hunt with one another when I was in town. I always sought him out, if we hadn't kept correspondence. We had quite a lot of fun hunting with each other. He was an exceptionally good hunter. It became somewhat of a competition between us.' Alucard said laughing manically.
'Maybe you can tell me more about him sometime. But for now could you please put down my intended, you're still holding her.' Sesshoumaru asked.
'I am...oh look I am indeed, my apologies. As for your other request, yes I will tell you more about your father at some point.' Alucard answered then gently set Kagome back on her feet, it had turned out every one in the room had been trying to get Alucard's and Sesshoumaru's attention. Of course they hadn't noticed having been so engrossed in their mental conversation.
"Now that you're both back from where ever you went. Seeing as neither of you have a place to go, until we get you back home, you both will stay here at Hellsing. Lord Sesshoumaru I am not familiar with demons, so is there anything that you will need? Or any special provisions we will need to order in for you? As in, is there anything in particular that demons eat?" Integra asked.
"No Lady Integra. Demons usually eat raw meat, however that's just the lower level demons. I myself eat what humans eat. Being cooked meat and such, I just take bigger portions. The mess that comes from raw meat is too much, and clean-up is annoying. So it is rare I will eat it." Sesshoumaru answered.
"Fair enough, I assure you I will do my homework on your kind later so that I don't have to annoy you with questions." Integra replied then turned to Walter.
"Walter would you please show Lord Sesshoumaru and Lady Kagome to their room?"
"Of course Sir Integra." Walter answered.
"Whoa, whoa wait...room? As in singular?" Kagome asked realising what was just said.
"Yes Dear it was singular. You are going to be mates anyway, might as well get used to sleeping beside each other. And tomorrow you will both be initiated temporarily into Hellsing as special forces, meaning you will both be working in the same category as Seras and Alucard. I will brief you both tomorrow evening. Have a good night now." Integra said as Walter stepped forward.
"Right this way Lord Sesshoumaru and Lady Kagome. I shall take you to your room." He said with a bright smile. He reminded Kagome of her grandfather as in her dads father. They both had the same gentlemanly attitude and kindness about them. But Kagome knew not to be fooled. Under Walter's kind gentlemanly manner something dangerous lived. He was not to be messed with that was for sure.
Their room was a beautiful one decorated in deep crimsons along with gold hues it was very grand, and lovely. It reminded her of the room she had at Sesshoumaru's palace, she was glad of this as it made her a bit more comfortable. The bed was a huge double king sized four poster, again like the one she had at Sesshoumaru's. The only difference was that this bed was covered with varying shades of red satin, with gold satin throws and cushions. Where as her bed at Sesshoumaru's had red and gold drapes and soft fur throws as blankets which she loved. However she couldn't care less where she was, or who she had to share a room with. She was just glad to see a bed she was exhausted, even knowing that Sesshoumaru and her had to share this bes didn't bother her. She stripped down not caring that he could see and changed into a beautiful white and blue satin floor length night dress (think Jessie's from Queen Of The Damned). Once she had the done she climbed into the bed and fell asleep instantly barely registering Sesshoumaru getting in beside her, and pulling her back against his naked chest.
