Disclaimer: If I owned them, the English manga would come out more than once every eight or so months.
Thanks to naruto-fanfic for reviewing!
"Can you pay for that drink?" The waiter asked as he took my order.
"Will this do?" I pulled out a few shillings.
"Of course Miss." He smiled, his greedy little hands grabbing the coins before moving to the next table.
Pig.
I sighed and dropped my head to my hands. What am I going to do? Where can I go? Surrey? No, Father will have told Uncle Thomas by the time I get there. I could always go to France for a few years, and then figure it out from there. At least it would be warmer there. I smiled at the thought. I'll do that then. Tomorrow I'll get to London and catch a boat to France.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It made ma jump. An old woman smiled at me. She was missing several teeth and her gray hair was filled with twigs and dirt.
"Miss." She said, "You seem sad. Maybe I can help."
"Thank you for your concern." I was wary, "But I don't need any help."
"Come now." She sat down across from me. "There must be something I can do."
"It'd be great if you could turn back time." I took a sip from my glass.
"How would that affect the one you love. He would have died anyway."
I spit out my drink, coughing.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Count Dracula would have been killed by your brother no matter what you did."
"How do you know that?"
"I know many things. And I can help you India."
"Keep your black magic to yourself." I told her, standing up. "I want no part of it."
""I can help you see him again."
"How? My Father would never let me near him."
"There will be a leader of the Hellsing family who will let you be with him. That is, if you let her."
"What?"
"I can make you immortal."
"Im… Impossible."
"Nothing is impossible with magic."
"Why are you helping me?"
"You want my help?"
For a moment, I hesitated. I would give anything to have him back. This wouldn't guarantee that, but it would give me that chance. If I didn't do it, my future would be just as uncertain. My mind was made up.
"Yes…please."
"Remember, love is a double-edged sword. You will be his greatest weakness. However, you will also be his greatest power. Remember that India."
I gaped at her, unable to form words. Then, she started chanting.
"Tribuo suus eternus vita. Si suus pectus pectoris subsisto, permissum is satus iterum. Tribuo suus ops servo insons insontis. Permissum suus exsisto hac insquequo diligo est instituo. Permissum is venio in nomen of diligo."
The tavern disappeared and a white light replaced it. Such a pain engulfed me that I couldn't bear to stand. It forced me to my knees. Quickly, I found myself fighting off darkness. That battle, however, was not won.
"Since then I have waited for the time that I would see him again." I said, looking around the room.
Sir Integra sat in a plush, red armchair next to the fireplace. Walter was standing at the back of the chair. Seras also sat, in a small chair on the other side of the fire. Alucard leaned against the wall in the far corner. All had been listening intently to my story.
"So where did you go?" Seras questioned.
"France, Spain, Greece. About 1850 I got bored of Europe and went to the new world. It wasn't until a few years ago that I returned to Britain."
"And what do you plan to do now?" Sir Integra was looking at me intently.
"I'll probably go to Greece. It is beautiful this time of year."
"Why not stay? You would be of great help to the Hellsing Organization."
"Thank you, but I would only be a burden. Besides, I don't think I'd be able to stay in one place. I'm too used to moving around."
"Well then, we will provide you transport to wherever you are going."
"Thank you again, but I'm going to head over myself."
"When are you leaving?"
"By sunrise."
"Why are you going?" He asked quietly.
"I have to."
"You don't, Sir Integra will let us-"
"She may, but I can't stay knowing that I'm your weakness."
"India…"
"I'm sorry."
I felt tears start to form. His eyes softened. Striding over to me, he pulled me to his chest.
"I love you." I whispered.
"This can't keep happening."
"No, it can't. But what can we do?" I looked up at him.
"I don't know." He brushed a bang out of my eyes.
"The world's always against us, isn't it? I wish we could have just one more night."
"It would only leave us wanting more."
"You're right. Damn it…"
"India…"
I met his gaze. Slowly, he moved closer until our lips touched. It was gentle at first, but quickly got passionate. Out of air, I had to break it off. Panting, I could feel my face get warm. I couldn't look up at him.
"You're blushing India." He chuckled.
"I'm simply out of breath." I glanced up.
"You're a terrible liar."
"I love you." I kissed him again.
"India." He sighed, pulling me back to his chest.
We stood there for a moment. It felt like an eternity. I didn't want ti to end. But the sun was rising.
"I have to go now."
"I know."
Suddenly, a white light appeared around us. I clung to him, fearful.
"Lovers together once again." The voice came from he light, it was the same one form when…
"Who are you?" I yelled.
"Magic has no name India Hellsing."
He pulled me closer to him.
"What do you want?"
"Lovers who had just one night deserve more. She gave her mortality for the chance to be with him. He gave his life for hers. After five hundred years, you get your chance."
"What are you talking about?"
"Finally, you will get your chance."
The voice faded and the light vanished. I looked up at him.
"What the he-" I stopped.
He stared at me blankly, but his eyes weren't red. They were brown. And his fangs were gone.
"What is it?"
"You're eyes." I brought my hand to his face. "They're brown."
"That's not possible."
"They are, you're mortal."
"And you?"
"What do you mean?"
"If I'm mortal, what about you?"
"I… I don't know." I turned towards the window. "Aperio."
It didn't budge. My heart skipped a beat. Maybe I was mortal too. I grabbed a letter opener fro the nightstand. Sliding it cross the back of my arm, it drew blood. But it didn't heal immediately.
"My God, I'm mortal."
"Oh India."
His embrace was warm. I snuggled into it. For the first time in five hundred years, I was happy.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
A/N: And that is the end. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone. It was really hard for me to figure out how to end this. Creator has been an experience and I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have.
