Not Another Girl (Hellsing x Reader)

Chapter 19

Integra couldn't concentrate. George's endless crying was getting on her nerves. The air conditioning system had many purposes. It allowed air to circulate. It was an emergency escape route. And also an excellent listen device. George's crying was carried all through the house. So Integra got up and began searching for her. Using the computer, she located George's tracer and found her in the laundry room. When she got there, Walter was leaning against the washing machine and reading a newspaper; while George sat on top of the washer crying her eyes out.

"Walter, what's wrong with George?" asked Integra.

Walter didn't answer her, he just turned the page. Integra walked up to him and removed his earphones. Walter looked at her in recognition.

"Good evening, Sir Integra." he said politely. "Is there something you need?"

"Why is she crying so hard?" asked Integra.

"Because it's wash day." said Walter.

George just stood up and clung to Integra's neck. "Get L-card out." she begged.

"L-card? Where is L-card?" she asked Walter, as she tried to pull George from around her neck.

"He's in the dryer." informed Walter.

"You couldn't wait till she was asleep to wash him." scolded Integra.

"I did." said Walter. "She woke up early today."

George soon realized that she was getting any pity or any help from either of them, so she started crying louder.

"Oh, stop it George." commanded Integra. "He'll be dry soon."

All of a sudden, Alucard appeared, holding his hands over his ears. "What did you do now?" he asked harshly.

"Its wash day and L-card is getting a much needed bath." explained Integra.

Alucard looked at Walter. He was just standing there with earphones on and reading the paper.

"He could at least share those." complained Integra, wondering when Walter had slipped the earphones back on.

George stopped crying as loud when she saw Alucard. She crawled over to him and held out her arms to be picked up. Alucard didn't move. Integra raised an eyebrow.

"Your daughter wants you." smirked Integra.

When Alucard didn't move to her, George started crying louder. "Enough." growled Alucard, as he moved closer to the washer.

He put a hand down on the washer, but made no move to pick up George. George stopped crying and stood next to him, clutching his arm.

"Here, George." said Walter, handing L-card back to her. "He's all clean now."

George happily took L-card back, hugged it and then sniffed it. She threw it down and started crying again. That's when Seras showed up.

"Aw, what's wrong George." asked Seras, as she watched George cry into Alucard's arm.

"It's too clean." said Alucard, annoyed that he had become a child's tissue box.

Walter bent down and picked up L-card. "What do you mean too clean?" he asked.

"You originally made him out of a piece of my coat. She loved it only because it smelled like me. It's too clean and smells of April freshness. So she doesn't want it anymore." enlightened Alucard.

"Is that all?" smiled Seras, as she took L-card from Walter. "I can fix that."

Walter watched as Seras walked over to Alucard and ripped open his shirt. Walter, Alucard, and Integra just stared at her in awe of her bold move. Seras ignored the looks she got from Alucard and started rubbing L-card up and down Alucard's chest and stomach. George stopped crying and looked on in interest. Seras rubbed both L-card's front and back against Alucard. Then she handed it back to George.

"There George." she smiled. "How's that?"

George took L-card and sniffed it. Then she stood and beat the stuffed rabbit against his chest. Alucard just watched her do this for a while. He knew what she wanted; he just didn't want to give it to her. After all, she did wake him up.

"Why is she doing that?" asked Integra, perplexed by George's behavior.

"She used to do that when she wanted to go outside." explained Walter. "She'd beat on the back door."

"Used to?" inquired Integra.

"She's now using the dog door that I had installed for Ink." said Walter, folding up the blankets.

Finally, Alucard had had enough and ghosted his torso away. L-card passed right through him and into his shadow regions. George pulled it back out again and sniffed it. L-card was now sufficiently covered in Alucard's essence, so George hugged it like an old lost friend. Then George motioned to be let down. Seras picked up George and they left the room together.

"Come on George, let's go and get some breakfast." offered Seras.

"Now I've seen everything." said Integra, highly annoyed.

"Well, that kind of defeats the purpose of me washing L-card, doesn't it? complained Walter.

Alucard just looked down at his shirt. Seras had ripped his shirt open and torn off all his buttons. Alucard took the shirt off and handed it to Walter.

"I need new buttons, if you please Walter." requested Alucard.

"Yes, sir." said Walter, still folding up the other clothes.

Then Alucard went to the dryer and pulled out a clean shirt. He sniffed it and then looked at Integra. Integra just raised an eyebrow at him.

"Don't even think about it." she growled.

Alucard just laughed, as he put the shirt on and disappeared.
