Disclaimer: Although I would love to be, I am not the owner of Hellsing or its characters. But Jonathan Lansky is mine!!!

AN: I really don't have anything to say but I feel weird without something up here. Don't know if this is as good as the first but here it is.

Pride: Chapter 2
by Wicked Child

She swallowed the fear. She had to in order to remove his person from such close proximity. Her breathing began to slow to normal. She would have control. And yet, in the back of her mind, a single phrase betrayed the woman. Complete and utter beauty is all the he is.

?Remove your hands and step back,? she ordered calmly. She was his master, he would obey.

A grin spread across his face, once again displaying the pristine elongated canines. ?No.?

?As your master, I order you to remove yourself from me.?

The grin widened but he did not move.

?Recognize the order Alucard.? Fear began to prickle the nape of her neck.

?I do not recognize the order,? he told her, his voice still bearing a harsh bitterness.

?I am your master! Recognize the order!? she screamed at him.

Her eyes widened in surprise as he released his vise-like grip from her arms, gently removing her body away from the chimney wall only to have him slam her against it again. He still did not break a bone in her body.

?You are my master only because I allow it. You?ve never had control over me and you never will.? He smirked at the woman trying her best to not cower under the sheer force of his words and presence.

He leaned in, pressing his nose against her neck. ?I can taste your fear Integra.? His tongue slid out and caressed her neck. ?Not as intoxicating as your blood, but it will do.? One hand made its way inside her suit jacket, cupping her breast.

Her eyes moved to the side, locking with his one visible crimson orb. She saw determination, amusement, hatred, love, and vengeance all housed within. He retracted both his tongue and hand before looking at her fully. He no longer displayed the aggression from moments before. He now resembled the respectful servant he always represented.

?Is this what your pride allows you to fear without consequence; the stark brutality that I am capable of committing to anyone that I choose??

The woman swallowed. ?You truly are a demented monster.?

Again, her comment amused him and he laughed aloud before responding. ?I am only a demented monster to you when I am not your obedient little pet.?

?No. You have always been demented, even before you became a No Life King. Need I remind you of your human past??

His eyes narrowed and hardened. ?Would you rather me be a simple domesticated soldier??

This time, it was the woman?s eyes that narrowed in anger but she did not speak.

?Would you rather me be like that sweet but brave soldier you have decided to love? I assure you I can be a docile creature when in your presence and only unleashing my darker side in battle. And yet you would still deny me would you not? All because a little girl needed to be saved from a big bad man with a gun and I chose to be that savior.?

Again the woman said nothing to the vampire that stood before her. Silence stretched between them while rain began to pelt their bodies in its cold simplicity. Alucard could hear hurried footsteps approach their rooftop battleground. It would be Walter and his master?s favorite soldier Jonathan Lansky.

?Your loyal servants appear,? he said calmly.

The door to the roof burst open, Walter at the ready with his garrottes and Lansky with his gun.

?Sir Integra,? Walter began. ?We heard gunshots.?

?Are you all right Sir Hellsing?? Lansky asked.

Alucard could feel the younger human?s eyes burning with rage at his presence. Lansky hated the vampire, and it was not because he was a vampire. Alucard turned his face to the sky, letting the rain kiss his skin. The sky did not have issues with pride.

?I knew of a girl once who told me that the rain was actually the tears of angels in Heaven,? he said softly to the woman before him. ?Tell me, why do they cry tonight??

Integra closed her eyes at his words, as though stinging her like a wasp to an over curious child. She was happy Walter and Lansky were there now. It meant that the vampire would have to back down and she would not lose. When she opened them again, Alucard was walking toward the other two men, nodding once to Walter and brushing past the other man ignoring his presence completely.

Once Alucard reached the doorway he said, ?The child will prove to be a true Hellsing.? He then disappeared into the gloom of the hallway.

Lansky didn?t bother wasting time as he rushed to his superior?s side. ?Are you all right Integra? Did he do anything to you? Who fired off the shots?? He checked her over for any bruises or any other injuries the vampire could have inflicted. Lansky?s hate for the vampire ran deep and could not be assuaged by his supposedly noble acts of destroying his kind.

Walter walked up more calmly, assessing the situation silently. It would seem that the battle still wages and yet is still at a stalemate. ?We must get out of the rain Sir Integra. It is not wise considering your condition.?

?I am fine Jonathan. He did not do anything to me that is not allowed.? She did not know why she lied at that moment, but she knew that it would be a lie that only added to the amount of chains that bound her to her own hell. ?Let?s get inside, I?m cold.?

The trio walked the same path that Alucard had taken just moments before.

?How did it know about the baby?? Lansky asked.

?He?s a vampire. He could sense the child?s heartbeat,? Integra answered. She looked at man who had become her lover. His light brown hair was plastered to his head, while his hazel eyes were hard. They were always hardened whenever it came to Alucard. She knew he hated the vampire, but in all honesty did not know why.

?It?s a disgusting monster.?

?Yes,? Integra agreed. ?He can be at times.? As she continued down the stairs, flanked by her loyal retainer and her human lover a voice whispered in her mind.

And yet, I am complete and utter beauty. I cannot be two things Integra. Which will you choose?

*chews what she has left of her fingernails* Oooooooooooooooh.....now your bringing it up a notch by having her preggie. I just wonder what will become of her relationship between Jonathan and Alucard. I hope you have more in the makings of being written

[Stella]

*jaw drops*

Wow, Wicked - completely excellent chapter! I'm still getting over the news of Integra's... condition. O.O

But I loved the dialogue between Alucard & his master! You kept them in character, but at the same time, you're allowing their characters to grow. Beautifully written - I can't wait to see where this fic goes!

Love,
Stella

Okay, *I'M* slow, but YOU'RE slower. You've had all this time to posty ch 3, and yet, there's no ch 3.

YOU WICKED WICKED CHILD! md



Gah, Alucard is jealous, Alucard is jealous. la la la la la

And who's Jonathan? O_O Wow. So many questions....

PWEASE a part 3, soon? With chocolate covered Alucard on top?

Alucard: I don't enjoy chocolate
Rose: Doesn't matter, Wicked does.

*hugs*

Love,
Rose

YOU WICKED WICKED CHILD! md

I must say you sound very much like my mother. She tends to scream that out every now and again whenever I'm being...me.

You dare say that I'M slower than you?!?! Um okay, shall I count how many unfinished projects you have (LLL, Enemy, Mile, Immortal Craving--GO 3xR!--Heero Gets Laid....) and how many promised updates you have floating around?

Rose, why are giving me that look? And why do you have duck tape? I only responded because I heard something about Alucard and chocolate....

In all seriousness, I am somewhat stuck on where to go from here. I know where I would like to go, but I'm not sure how to get there. But since I don't want you to join the hunt *hides from Beck and Stella*, I think I'll start working on it more with more fervor (is that the right word?).

Just who is Jonathan Lansky? Oh questions, questions.... Will there be answers? Maybe.

And thank you for the mental image of Alucard and chocolate....

*hugs*

Ha. You have nooooooooooooooooooo idea how many unfinished projects I have lying around. Only me and Stella have that count. I have parts of fics no one knows exist yet save her and maybe one or two others. So your pithy list of 5 fics doth not daunt me.

But why is Immortal Craving on that list?

Peygan (from my ML) will hurt me if I don't continue IC, but it's always been in my head that if I continued the story, Heero would be in the next part. Peygan knows this and is fine with it, but you won't like the continuation as it's planned. So, you may as well take it off the list.

Rose, why are giving me that look? And why do you have duck tape? I only responded because I heard something about Alucard and chocolate....

*giggles* What duct tape? *hides duct tape behind her back* :evil:

In all seriousness, I am somewhat stuck on where to go from here..... But since I don't want you to join the hunt *hides from Beck and Stella*, I think I'll start working on it more with more fervor (is that the right word?).

Good plan.

And thank you for the mental image of Alucard and chocolate....

Anytime, dear Wicked child. Anytime.

Love,

Well you'll be happy to know that I finally bought the last Hellsing DVD and watched it. Such a lovely lovely time that was. Made me most happy and goofy grinned. So another chapter of Pride should be coming up soon. ^_^ I love the subbed version but I can't help but like the English actors dialogue just a tad bit more since it'll fit in rather nicely with my little plot bunnies.

In regard to IC, bring it on. I don't care if Heero's in it and he and Relena end up together (Trowa got to have his fun) so long as you finish it or at least do something more to it. It's about vampires, that's all I care about. ^_^

YAY! A good dose of watching the anime you are writing always helps fuels the writing soul I think the last dvd is always my fav, then again it does have one of my fav eps on it (#10) I too like both versions but after watching the dub one time with the subtitles, the subtitles they used, don't match with the english dialouge they are speaking and I noticed that the subtitle dialouge is much better. And I kid you not, watch eps 10 in subtitles (your choice if you want to hear the dub or the jp voices) and the part after young Integra stood up to Alucard, telling him that she would not be his slave and such, after Alucard gives a hearty laugh knowing that she is truely a Hellsing, he said that it made him hard (like I said, this was the subtitle dialouge). I slowly rewound that part again to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, thats what it said. Of course he doesn't say that in the dub. Check it out and get a good, evil hentai laugh from it.

(as you can see, I didn't quote word for word since its been a few weeks since I watched it, but it was along that line of how excited Alucard was *snickers*)

[wicked]

I think I'm going to have to rewatch Ep 10 tonight. In the non subtitled English version he really only says that she makes his blood boil. I must read what else those pansy actors won't say! :evil: Gimme hentai AxI!!!!

I couldn't wait to buy the last DVD since it does have Ep 10 on it. I was very much in a wanting mood (or was it needing?) and I had the apartment to myself so I said, "Bring on some Alucard baby!" Okay so those weren't my exact words but you get the gist. I also couldn't wait for the final moment of Ep 13 when he said, in English, that it was Integra choice. I very nearly started bouncing.

OH! And I mustn't forget the scene (Ep 12?) where they have the discussion on whether she ever wanted him to drink her blood. From the dub version I seriously got the impression that she had done more than just contemplate. Especially when she walks away and Alucard says, "Don't you want me to drink your blood?" and she stops mid-stride before moving on again. Gah! Oh yes, the last DVD is helping me on my way....

I feel bad though. I'm in a non-Seras mood right now. I really just can't stand her at the moment. When I don't like someone, that means they have to get hurt. *sigh* Oh well. ^_^

Thanks for the info Beck! *glomp*
