Chapter 1: taming

...

Seras started to back away from the wall of fallen Hellsing troopers advancing on her. One of them grabbed at her ankle and tripped her. The hand disintegrated from the wrist down from the flesh and bone rotting so quickly due to how he was a ghoul.

As Seras tried to crawl away, Sir Integra raised her pistol to fire at the ghouls but stopped when she saw who they really were. "My men? They're all my men?" She shuddered in disbelief. "Those monsters turned them all into ghouls?"

Integra wanted to fire to help Seras, but couldn't manage to pull the trigger. She couldn't shoot her own men, which made her feel even worse, since Seras was about to be taken. Seras tried to get away from the ghoul troopers, but they all started grabbing at her. They grabbed at her breasts, her behind, her legs and started trying to get under her skirt.

She snapped and her vision went blood red. Pulling strength from an unknown source, she broke free of the ghouls. She went crazy with the uncontrollable rage, ripping off arms, punching or elbowing in the ribcages, punching the faces and in one instance, slamming the head against the wall until the braincase broke open.

Integra could see that Seras was about to go over the edge and lose herself completely. She wasn't anywhere near the skill level or overall strength that Alucard was, and would likely become a demon that not even Alucard could control.

Seeing no other option, she holstered her pistol and ran to Seras. She wrapped her arms around Seras and hugged her tight. The contact had an effect, keeping Seras from attacking anymore. She struggled a little bit against Integra, but that one part in her mind that remembered who Integra was and her relation to herself kept her from being too aggressive.

"Seras, stop this." Integra started, holding back the tears. "Listen to me. You're stronger than this. Follow my voice and come back."

Her words seemed to fall on deaf ears. Integra moved around so she was facing Seras, whose gaze moved to match her own. A stare that would strike fear into the heartiest souls had no effect on Integra, as she had seen true depths that no typical mortal had ever seen.

She decided to try one more thing before losing hope. "Seras, calm down... I..I love you." Integra said, closing her eyes as she pulled Seras in and started kissing her.

As their lips were together and Integra let her tongue slip into Seras' mouth, it's as though all of the inhuman strength Seras had just vanished. She weakened to the point that her knees buckled and she started going to the floor, Integra staying locked to her lips as she followed. When they separated, Seras looked like she had returned to her old self. "Sir Integra?" Seras asked weakly.

"It's just Integra. I'm here."

"You love me?" Seras asked, tears welling in her eyes.

"Yes. I didn't want you going over the edge and being lost forever."

Seras fell into her arms, no strength left after having burned off so much energy. "I'm so sorry... They pulled me down and I didn't see any other way out. I didn't want them to get to you."

"We'll be okay, I hope. Just stay here with me."

Integra put her arms around Seras and held her, hoping that nothing else happened. As she started thinking of the next move, she heard footsteps. To her horror, more of the ghoul troopers were moving on her and Seras. She drew her pistol, thinking that if anyone should bring them down, she should, since they fell in her defense. She raised it and aimed at them, but couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger.

As she was feeling like it was over, something flew down the hallway with inhuman speed and the ghoul troopers fell to the floor, finished off. "My men. Who did this? Walter?"

Walter stepped out of the dark, but on the other side. "No, Sir Integra." He said as he bowed. "I've been handling business elsewhere in the mansion. I was about to bring them down, but these abnormal blades of silver cut them down." He said, holding up blades that only one other person was known to use.

"Anderson?" Integra asked, her eyes wide open.

"Yes, Miss Hellsing." He said in his typical tone. "You poor souls who have served well for mankind and the greater good, I know your sins and God knows your sins. You are released from this mortal coil, may you forever rest in peace. Amen."

"Thank you, Anderson. I couldn't finish them off. Your cleansing did more for them than I could have."

Anderson looked at how they were now holding each other. "And what's this display?"

"I had to say something to bring her back down. Walter, yourself and Alucard are the only ones who could've brought her down if she went over the edge."

"So then it's true? The only thing that could've pulled her back to humanity was a true confession of love." Walter added.

"Yes."

"The Church frowns upon such relationships, you know. If you ever consummate, you'll lose yourselves. Her even more so, since she's already a vampire."

"We'll find a way. Besides, love is more than just sex."

...

After the mansion was cleared of the ghouls and other invaders, Integra helped Seras clean herself before she helped her into her casket. "Sir Hellsing, I want to thank you for keeping me here. When all I could see was darkness ahead of me, your words and then your face broke through the black and anchored me here."

"Seras, you can call me Integra."

"Did you mean it? Do you love me like that?"

"Yes. Just like Walter said, it had to come from the heart or it wouldn't have had any effect."

"So then, the kiss..." Seras trailed off with a smile forming.

"Yes, that was true as well."

"Would you mind another kiss? You know, since I'm in better control of my faculties now." Seras blushed lightly as she looked at Integra.

"I actually wanted to do that myself, too. This way you really know it's true."

Integra leaned down and they both closed their eyes as they began kissing. Seras had a rather long tongue, which slipped into Integras mouth. "You're a spirited one. Now get some rest, we've got business to attend to later."
