English Tea

Chapter 1

The alleyway was dark, and growing darker by the minute. The sun was setting into the horizon, and Kagome Higurashi once again wondered how she had gotten into this damned situation. She had gone on a family vacation to Europe, or England to be exact. Inuyasha was really pissed that he couldn't come with her, but no way would they be able to get him through airport security with his ears and the sword that he loved to carry with him. So, rather dejected (and her heart did go out to him), he had stalked back to the well and disappeared into the Feudel era, leaving a backyard pockmarked with craters after a long battle of many 'sit' commands when he tried to drag her back into the past to avoid going on this 'family vacation'.

Okay, now I'm starting to freak out. How do I get back to the tea cafe? Momma is going to be so worried..

Kagome was approaching the halfway point between two tall buildings in downtown London when a cold and menacing voice drifted down from up above.

"Ah.....an Iscariot agent, sent to track me down?" came the voice from above, stopping Kagome dead in her tracks and looking around. A short laugh followed before the voice once again descended to her.

"You won't find me down there, Catholic whore. I'm up here," taunted the voice. Shaking now, Kagome craned her eyes skyward, to see a tall figure standing on a balcony three stories above her. Nevermind how weird it was to see a balcony in an alleyway, but this figure was far weirder. He was dressed in red and black clothing. A red hat, yellow glasses, black underclothes with a red coat, red bow tie, and white gloves with black boots. He was deathly pale, but then so were most of the people in this city, except for the ones who vacationed to foreign lands to get a tan on their skin.

A few drops fell into her eyes as the clouds blocking out the setting sun and sky opened up, a light rain beginning to descend upon London.

Great, I get lost in a dark alleyway after taking a 'shortcut' to get from our hotel room to the tea cafe where mom was to meet me, and now there is a weird man talking to me from above in a balcony, and now it is starting to rain. What the hell does he mean by 'Iscariot' and 'Catholic whore' anyways?

"I don't know who your talking to mister. I'm not an 'Iscariot agent' or a 'Catholic whore', but if you don't watch it, I may purify you where you stand," said Kagome, pointing a finger up at him. She lowered her finger and quivered in sudden fright when she sensed an almost demonic aura drifting down into the alley from him, although it was different than the ones she normally felt in the Feudel era.

"Hoo?" muttered the man standing above. With a single step, he was off the balcony and falling torwards her. She started to back away, then paused when she saw that he was floating rather than just falling. He landed very softly on his feet no more than five feet in front of her. She gasped when his eyes widened, seeing that they were orange and red.

He is a demon! Okay Kagome, time to get out of here. Okay legs, start moving!

Every instinct in Kagome told her to run away, but her stubborn legs would not move.

"Heh, can't move can you? I can feel the holy energies in you, although you are not well trained to use them. Maxwell should know better than to send a untrained priestess to keep watch on me," taunted the demon man as he approached to within a foot of her.

"What...kind...of a...monster...are you?" Kagome managed to get out in between quick breaths as her heart beat accelerated.

"Monster? Many have called me such a thing, but what does that make you, human who would destroy me? A human? A machine? A monster? My kind are servants of the night, as you will soon find out," said the being as he opened his mouth, revealing a row of sharp pointed teeth, four in particular being longer than the rest.

"Night? What do you mean, I will become one, who are you?" asked Kagome, still unable to move, but strangely enough starting to calm down, althoug beads of sweat began popping out on her skin, mixing with the rang soaking her hair and clothes.

"Aaahhh...," breathed the man as he lifted a hand to gently cup one of her breasts, Kagome closing her eyes and opening her mouth to scream, atlhough no sound came from it.

"To answer your question, my name is Alucard. It has been some time since I have had the pleasure of defiling a holy warrior of the vatican. I think though, that I shall make you my bitch instead. Perhaps police girl would appreciate a companion of the same sex," he said, his still open mouth widening in an evil smirk.

"Who is...what is...," Kagome managed to croak out.

Kami this is all so weird. Maybe it will all turn out to just be a dream, or a nightmare rather...

"Now then...let's get to it...," said Alucard as he moved in close to her. He grabbed the side of her head with one hand, and gently eased her head into a tilt, revealing her neck to him. He opened his mouth wide, revealing his sharp teeth, which seemed to grow even longer.

Kagome closed her eyes and trembled, then opened her mouth and let out a sharp and pain filled scream as he bit into her neck. A thin river of blood ran down her upper chest to stain her shirt, but most of her blood seemed to be slurped up by this man. As the blood left her body, her heart beat slowed, and a strange sort of pleasure seemed to be taking hold over the initial pain.

When it felt like the last drop of her blood would soon leave her body, the monster attached to her throat suddenly grunted in pain and staggered away from her. Kagome fell down against the walls of one of the buildings, one of her hands flying to her throat, as she suddenly felt very drained and weak. She watched with a detached sort of interest as Alucard staggered backwards some more, before reaching behind his back and pulling something out of him, dropping it to the ground.

It was a sword, a very sparkly short blade with his blood on it.

"Curse you, judas priest!" growled out Alucard, turning his back to her.

"Nooo, tae curse is on youu, vamp-ire. Nay nae now, feasting on the blood of a young virgin girl in the heart of London. Surely you did not think I wouldn't interfere?" came the taunting voice of a figure that Kagome couldn't see.

"You are too late to save her, paladin Anderson. I have already sucked her blood. Soon she will become one of the night, a judas agent no less!" taunted Alucard in return.

"Tae know not what you talk of vamp-ire. Last time I checked, I twas the only Iscariot agent in all of the Protestant whoreland of Britian," came the suddenly confused voice of the man identified by Alucard as being Anderson.

Alucard turned his head to look at her, his orange glowing eyes probing into her own brown eyes. A blackness began to creep into her vision. A sudden flash of silver went through Alucard's neck in the split second that he had taken his attention off of Anderson, and his head bounced onto the ground below, his body crumpling down as well.

A few footsteps she heard, before seeing a tall man in a grey coat stop at Alucard's body. He prodded it with a boot, before apparently making up his mind.

"Nooo no no. He not be dead, this one. I have behead him before to have him yet live. Just need tae wait for him to revive himself, timely bastard," said Anderson, before walking over to where Kagome lay up against the wall.

"And what have we here? I can sense holy energy in yae, although yee do not feel like a christian to me. Noo, more like a servant of Boo-da, such as ones I have come across in my travels around the globe to exterminate these damned servants of the great satan," said Anderson, before reaching out with a hand to gently cut her chin and lift her head up, peering into the depths of her eyes.

"I see, such a gentle and caring heart in this one. It is a damned shame what this monster did tae yae, trying to turn you into his servant of darkness. May the lord have mercy on your soul, for I shall not, lest yee be damned into eternal hell," proclaimed Anderson, as with his other hand he pulled another short sword from his vest. He pulled it back, then thrusted it forward, aiming straight for her heart.

But it never arrived, the sword shattering into a million pieces as a gunshot rang out through the alleyway. Two more quickly followed, the priest staggering up and away as bullet holes appeared in his chest.

"Taking your eyes off of your opponent, judas priest? I thought you better not to make the same mistakes as your opponents," taunted Alucard, regenerating as his held a big black gun in one of his hands.

"Teh. Itching for more divine punishment, eh vamp-ire?" asked the priest as he too regenerated.

"Bring it on, judas priest! We shall fight, fight until one of us is ground into bones and dust scattered amongst the soil from which we came!" proclaimed Alucard as he went after the priest, guns blazing. As the two of them moved away from her crumpled form, the blackness that had been taking over her vision finally blocked out all the light, and Kagome felt no more.

*-------------*------------*

"Poor girl, another victim eh?" said one of the two bums that had happened upon Kagome's body.

"Shall we call the police and let them deal with it?" asked the second bum, looking her over. The rain had stopped falling, atlhough her hair and clothes were still wet and clinging nicely to her body, revealing her form to the both of them.

"Nah, I'll take care of her, you go ahead and head to the joint. I'll be there soon," answered the first bum, licking his lips in anticipation.

"Don't be too rough on her Marty, after all she looks underage," replied the second bum, knowing all too well what Marty had in mind. He left the scene, not wishing to see his buddy in the throes of passion with a young looking corpse.

Marty didn't waste any time in dragging Kagome's body to a more secluded portion of the alley. Once there he proceeded to strip off her clothes, revealing her body to him, before he did the same with his own clothes. He then moved over her, roughly grabbing one of her breasts with his hands as he leaned down to run his mouth over her lips.

"Mmmm, this bitch is still warm. She'll make for a good fuck," said Marty aloud before pressing his lips to hers.

He couldn't have been more suprised when she opened her eyes, eyes that were the color of blood, and stared up at him. He started to get up and off of her, but before he could, her mouth opened and suddenly sharp teeth clamped down upon his tongue, opening his skin and leaking blood into his mouth. Marty stood up and backed away, grabbing his tongue in one hand while blood splattered about his mouth and face.

"Aaaggghhh, you little bitch...," muttered Marty.

Kagome had awoken to find herself naked, with naked man on top of her, playing with her body and leaning in for a kiss. The first reaction that came to mind was to bite him, in order to get him off of her. She had started to spit out the blood, then stopped when the taste of it reached her own tongue. It tasted to sweet to her, and made her feel better. She opened her mouth to speak, although her throat was dry.

"More...I need more....," she whimpered almost pitifully, before getting up onto her feet. She looked at him with pleading eyes, but he only stared back at her with hatred, and a little bit of sudden fear mixed in with the hate.

"What...what are you?" he asked, his eyes wide as he saw this woman with red eyes, that had appeared to be dead, rising up and coming torwards him.

"More...I need more!" she exclaimed louder this time, before a sudden urge overcame and consumed her body. Without thinking about what she was doing, she ran into him, pushing him up against a wall, and sank her teeth into his throat. She continued sucking on his blood, the man's fluids running into her body. She could feel herself becoming healthy again as she did so, and pretty soon she felt like normal again.

Suddenly coming to her senses, she released the man's body, Marty crumpling down to the pavement below. Her eyes grew wide at the scene before her, and Kagome started running, just wanting to get away from him, from the alley, from the area. She finally came to a street, being guided by the many flashing lights. There was a police car and an armored personnel carrier parked next to one another, and there was a woman dressed in dark green clothes and a hat talking to someone who looked like a police chief.

A cold gust of wind caused Kagome to shiver, and she looked down at her body, suddenly remembering that she was naked. Luckily though she found some discarded clothes in a trash bin nearby, although it made her look like a bum, she decided it was better than nothing. Approaching the two vehicles again, she could hear the sounds of a conversation going on, which suprised her since she was still some distance away.

"You need not to send your men into a slaughter, captain. The Hellsing Agency will handle this matter. If you need any verification, you can ask the queen," said the woman, before walking away torwards the waiting APC. The police captain shrugged, slumping his shoulders, before heading back to his police cruiser.

Kagome jogged up to him, and shouted him down.

"Officer, please wait," she called to him, and she saw him stop and turn back around torwards her as the APC lumbered off down the street.

"What do you want, missy?" he asked in an exasperated voice.

"Which way to the London Hilton hotel?" asked Kagome in an anxious voice.

"Can't wait to pick through the garbage for discarded goods eh? Okay I'll tell you...," said the captain as he began describing the way back. Thanking him for his help, Kagome took off running again.

She didn't stop running until she reached the hotel, flying though the lobby to the protest of the hotel staff, headed up the stairwell to the third floor, and entered into the hotel room, slamming the door closed behind her.

Closing her eyes, she let out a big sigh before collapsing to the floor, tears now streaming from her face.

"Kagome dear what happened, you look terrible!" exclaimed her mother, causing Kagome to look up. She saw her momma standing there before her, a police woman getting up and coming over.

"Oh momma, it was terrible!" wailed Kagome as she stood and ran into her mother's arms.

Finally, safe at last.

A/N: Hey all, been a little while. Decided to go for a new story. The first chapter at least, is a crossover between the Inuyasha and Hellsing mangas, but from here on out, it should only be Inuyasha.
