Chpater 10: Time for War

Saika sat at the table with Alucard and His father. Alucard slowly drank from his cup looking down at a map. His father, on the other hand was staring at Saika.
Saika slowly ate the food she was given. She sighed as she stood up. "I'm just going to..."
Alucard looked up to her. "Saika...my father is not going to kill you" He laughed. "He's only admiring you...you're the second human girl to be here." He then looked back to the map and sighed.

Saika sat down as she looked at his father. He Gave a fanged smile to her as he stood. He walked over to her side and kneeled taking her hand. Saika blushed as he softly kissed her hand.
Alucard looked at his father and sighed covering his face with his free hand. He shook his head laughing a bit.

"I'm honored to have someone of great beauty in my home..I hope you feel welcomed.." He stood walking back to his seat. He pulled Alucard's chair from under him as he walked pass causing him to fall on his ass nearly spilling his drink. Saika giggled a bit as she looked at the two.
Alucard sighed as he sat on the floor for a bit before standing up. "Old man...." he said dusting himself off.
"Arrogant young blood...." he said with a smirk.
Alucard just rolled his eyes and pulled his chair up to sit down. He then looked to Saika.
Saika was laying her head on the table staring at the painting of a woman on the wall, she looked to the both of them. "So....what's your name?" she asked Alucard's father.
He said nothing.
Alucard laughed. "Saika spell my name backwards...." Saika looked puzzled but did it.
"D-R-A-C-U-L-A" she spelled aloud. She then widened her eyes, then looked fearfully to his father.
"Don't worry...I won't hurt my son's bride.." he said before fading into the darkness. "I'm going to bed...Alucard...get ready for school..." his voice echoed through the dinning room.

He nodded and Stood, Saika did as well. They walked to the room together to change into formal attire. The upperclassmen were welcoming the new students.

----------------------------

Saika wore her custom made kimono. She stood with her weapons strapped to her sides and her hands behind her back. Alucard stood beside her in a black suit. His weapons concealed in his jacket. His hair fairly neat he stood with his weight shifted to one side. with one hand in his pocket.
Saika stepped forward as the new students filled the Assembly Hall. She picked up the mic and with a smile she said. "Welcome to our School!" She said loudly as it echoed. Music began as Alucard stepped off to the side to prepare for his cue. Saika lifted her hand as she started to sing. A ball of water shot out of her hand and centered over the students. They looked up in awe as the water turned to ice and started to drop suddenly. As Saika held a note for a bit as she caused the ball to explode in tiny pieces causing the light to sparkle off the shards.

She smiled as she went into the bridge of the song. Alucard watched her dance around on stage. Listening to her voice. When he heard a part of the song he sent rings of fire out over the crowd. Saika held other strong note and sent controlled ice daggers through the rings. They soon turned into water as it danced around the fire.

She invited Alucard on stage. He smiled as walked over to her. She grabbed his hand and held it as she looked out over to the crowd. they lift both their hands and a combined effect of water, ice and fire danced around the room as she started to finish the song off. She smiled and nearly giggled a bit as she saw Alucard make a heart in the air leaving room for Saika to finish it off. She stepped in front of Alucard and kneeled down on one knee facing side ways and held out her hand as she summoned a beautiful Ice dragon, it got a bit chilly but everyone loved it. She smiled as Alucard did a small pose behind her as everything exploded like a firework. She hit the last note of the song as it faded out. Panting she stood. "Great huh?" she asked her mouth away from the mic. "Totally..." he agreed as eyed someone out in the crowd.
Everyone clapped, they even seemed like they wanted a encore. They both bowed as Saika lifted the mic to her mouth again. "I hope you enjoy your 5 years here...just as i did..We don't want any trouble here..so keep the freaking peace ok?" she stated as she turned to walk off the stage, Alucard followed behind her as the Dean of the school walked on to speak.

Saika rolled her eyes as she sat on a crate in the back.
"Alucard...did you--?" Saika started.
"Gray's one of the new students here..." he interrupted her.
Saika nodded. "I know...I felt his presence here...Why the hell is he here?"
"For you no doubt...well...either way...he's in our territory now...We'll make sure he doesn't cause any--" Before Alucard could even finish his sentence. Gray appeared out of the Shadows.
Saika jumped and pointed as Alucard turned with a slight frown.

Gray smiled a sly grin. "Before Alucard?" He started. "Before I take back my wife? Before I lay waste to this ugly mixture of Human and vampire, called this school?" He looked up from under his hat as he stepped closer to Saika. Alucard stepped defensively in front of Saika as she rose putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Stand down Alucard....He won't do a thing here..." she said as she gave a slight glare.
Gray smirked. "Watch your back Alucard.."he said as he faded back into the shadows laughing.
Saika and Alucard looked to each other before walking off to greet the 1st years at their classes.

-------------------------------------------

Saika met up with Alucard During lunch. She changed into her school uniform after she was done helping with Magic class. She walked up to the roof and saw Alucard sitting in the shade leaning his back against the wall. She walked over to him plopping down next to him. "I'm so...tired..." she sighed.
Alucard looked at Saika from under his hat. "I had Gym class and....Algebra..."
"Ouch....that had to hurt..." she said taking off his hat and putting it on her head. Alucard smiled at what she did. He took out a packet of blood and opened it slightly so he can drink out of it.
"Just so you know...you sing nice..." He complimented her.
"Thanks...." Saika replied. "So what are we going to do...He, Gray is behind enemy lines here.."
Alucard looked down to Saika. "You mean...how can we kill him without making to much of a scene." He said simply.
Saika Nodded. "I mean I heard you're super powerful...You might get too carried away."
He gave a smirk as she finished off his meal. "I enjoy a good fight..." he said.
"Maybe you can use the control art restriction system" she suggested. "Zero being the most powerful..you know...lower the number the more powerful?"
Alucard looked at her curiously. "For me to use that i would need a master..." he looked down tossing the packet in a near-by garbage can.
"If you let me...I'll..be.." she said softly.
"You want to be my Master?" Alucard said. "I'll be completely forced to obey you if you're my master..."
"I know..." Started Saika..."But...nothing will really change..." She said with a smile. "I'm not going to abuse my power you know...I'm not insane like you are..."
"Love, you don't know the half of it.." He said looking to her as he let out an maniacal laugh.
Saika couldn't help but smile a let out a little laugh of her own. Alucard looked to her as he stopped laughing.
Saika looked to the ground. "Sorry..."
He smiled. "You'll learn to laugh like me one day...just not...today.."
"So...agreed to use the Cromwell Approval?" Saika asked.
Alucard got on one knee and bowed deeply. "I am to serve as long as you wish me to Master Saika." Saika smiled. "That's good my love..." she said softly as she started to explain the process of the Cromwell Approval to him. Alucard Sat back down and listened carefully.

---------------------------------------

After school Saika was practicing her sword play in the field. Alucard watched from the roof secretly. Gray stepped out of the back doorways of the school. He saw Saika and gave a grin.
"Hello love..." He said as Saika looked to him gripping her sword taking a step back.
"Come back to me....I'm sorry for what i did..." He said with a sincere look on his face.
Saika looked at him suspiciously. Gray fell to his knees crying. "I really am sorry...I didn't mean to do that to you...."
Saika lowered her weapon.
"please....forgive me..." he said as Saika inched over to him.
Gray smirked for a brief moment. Saika knelt down in front of him. "Well...I guess...you seem sincere enough." she said as she looked him over. Alucard watched over the two like a hawk, He then felt a strong Aura that came out of no where all of a sudden. He stood suddenly. "No fucking way that..that Aura..."he said as he then saw a mist appear around Saika.
Saika widened her eyes at the fact she couldn't move. Gray then looked up at her. "You're such a sucker..." he said as he quickly took his sword and plunged it deep into her stomach. Saika coughed up alot of blood. As the mist dispersed from around her she fell to the ground holding her stomach, Her being human, she didn't hardly sense the extra power around until it formed next to Gray. Saika looked up to see... Alucard jumped down from the roof. He landed on the ground. Sei appeared in front of him with his gun pointed at Alucard. "I recommend you not interfere...In this gun are blessed mercury tipped explosive rounds." He said.
Alucard sighed a bit before letting out a glare toward them.
Gray smiled. "Are you glad to see her Saika...?"
the mist fully changed into a form, it was Qui. How the fuck? Saika thought.
Qui just smiled.
Gray explained a little about how she was back. "I ran into this girls' parents after a while she died. We struck a deal with them, my grandmother can work very ancient and forbidden black magic. Mostly everyone knows of her through my family. With a little of her ashes that we found and one of her parents, she's back. It took awhile though...most of the ingredients were very rare."
"What do you mean one of her parents...?" both Alucard and Saika said together.
"Sacrifice..." Qui and Gray said together.
"Sei!!" Gray called out...
Sei turned his head to his Lord. "Yes?"
"Kill him...." he said as Qui walked over and sat on Saika's back pulling her head up by her hair forcing her to look at Sei and Alucard. "Watch him kill your lover..." she said to Saika laughing.

Sei bit his bottom lip and pulled the trigger letting the shot fly. All six hit him directly in the heart and head. Blood spilling everywhere as his body fell to the ground. The barrel of Sei's gun smoking as he changed the magazine. He turned to Gray and bowed. "Dead...."
Gray smiled.
Saika started crying as she saw his body laying there, still bleeding she coughed up blood again instead of letting out a scream or yell. Qui shoved her face directly into the dirt as she stood and walked over to Gray. "I'm so happy you brought me back...." she smiled.
Little did she know she was another pawn in Gray's game. He was going to kill Qui as soon as he was done with her. Sei walked over to Gray and stood next to the two.
"Situation A..." Saika started slowly... All three od them looked to Saika.
"What is that bitch saying now...?" Questioned Qui.
Gray just smirked. "It's nothing...don't worry about it..." Qui and Gray started walking off together leaving Sei lingering around for a bit.
"Permission to Release control art restriction to level 2..." she said before looking to Alucard.
Slowly, Alucard's body started pulling back together. the blood that was spilt was sucked back into his body. Alucard stood with a smirk on his face. He looked to Sei.
"Releasing control art restriction to level 2" he said as his body started turn into a thick pitch black mist.
Sei ran to Gray telling him to turn around. Gray looked and so did Qui, they started running when they saw a 8-eyed hell hound running toward them Sei quickly jumped into the Air and then dissipated into a bright light above him. Sei teleported home. Gray on the other hand pushed Qui away splitting them up Qui dissapearred into a flash of lighting instantly getting away. Gray was by himself running. Alucards' Hell Hound was right on him. Sei dropped down from a portal above and grabbed Gray, but not before his doggie had a snack, he took a bite out of Gray's leg completly decapitating it from his body. Gray yelled as he was pulled into the portal. "This isn't fucking over...this is war you bastards...!!" His voice echoed.

Alucard sighed as he returned to his normal form. He walked over to Saika quickly who was slowly healing her wound with her healing magic she learned. She looked over to Alucard and smiled as he hugged her tightly. "We better start preparing for the final battle...." Saika said.
Alucard nodded. "Let's get you home okay?" He said as he picked Saika up in his arms. He then started walking. "So...." Saika started. "Where IS my home..."
"With my Father and I...." he said.
"I'm not letting you go back to that hellhole with your parents." he finished.
Saika smiled. "Thanks...." she said wrapping her arms around his neck. "Let's fly...." she said with a smirk.
Alucard shook his head. "Maybe next time ok?"
"Ok..." she said before resting her hands on her stomach...
