Integra Investment

“Of course, to business,” Integra says with a hint of humor in her tone, her amusement at your ‘predicament’ causing her normally stoic face to break into a small smirking smile, “First portion of this payment would be of course be the full use and services of Alucard, after volunteering to be her anchor it would be quite impossible to separate her from your side anymore anyways. The same goes for Schrödinger and the rest of Alucard’s familiars, since they are technically part of Alucard herself then they will be included in this initial payment.”

Glancing at the still chipper and grinning Schrödinger at your side a well as the other enthusiastically grinning vampires in the room you can’t help but grumble, “Wonderful, I just love package deals…”

“Certainly you don’t think that’s the end of it do you John?” Integra chuckles, a playful gleam in her crystal clear glasses as speaks, “We are after all asking you to help us win a war, certainly that deserves a greater payment then that. Upon completion of this mission I will gladly offer myself to you as well as giving you the status as legal heir to the Hellsing organization and fortune.”

With a painful sigh your fingers find the bridge of your nose, you thumb and forefinger rubbing at the stress relieving bone as you speak, “Integra-chan, this really isn’t necessary. I’m certain I told you how many wives I already have…”

“Then what difference do a few more make?” Integra interrupts you, a slick grin on her lips as she pulls a thin cigar from her breast pocket, “I certainly have no other prospects for a husband at the moment and I highly doubt I ever will. What better way to secure the future of the Hellsing family than to be one of the wives of the legendary Deadman Shinigami?”

With another heavy sigh you groan, “You’re not going to let me leave here without me agreeing to this are you?”

“Of course not,” Integra says with a wicked grin, a lighter flying from her pocket and lighting her cigar as she takes a victorious puff, “so what do you say…husband?”

“Fine,” you grumble, one hand placing itself atop your wide brimmed hat as you speak, “I accept the payment…”

“Excellent,” Integra says with a charming smile, her body turning away from yours so as to face Walter with her next bit of speech, “Walter, if you would please ready the wedding dress that was left to be my ancestors, I feel it will be necessary in the near future.”

“Of course madam,” Walter says with a smile, his eyes turning to you as he speaks before turning on his heel and leaving, “I wish you the best of luck Mr. Genryusai-Hellsing.”

As you furious rub at your temples to relive the stress building in your head you feel a slight tug at your coat tails, your body turning slightly to face a slightly worried but still amused looking Luppi as she speaks, “Katen-sama will not be happy…not even she had a proper wedding so she will be jealous.”

“Don’t remind me Luppi,” you mutter as your headache suddenly seems to increase, “I have a feeling I’ll never hear the end of it when I get back as it is…”

“Uh…Johnny?” the soft and shy voice of Seras invades you ears as she normally quiet blond catches your attention, “I have a question to ask…of you and Master Integra.”

“What is it Seras?” Integra barks out, her strict and no nonsense attitude back in full blast as she regards the young vampiress with a leveled stare, “can’t you see our guest is doing more than enough for us as it is?”

“I-I just want to a-ask…” Seras stutters, her brilliant azure eyes gazing up into yours as she speaks, “W-Will you please take me too?”

Ugh…
