Blue Rose
Chapter 2

“You wish me to what...??” Seras outburst in surprise.

“I want you to take care of Walter for now on, Seras.” Stated Integra as she sat behind her desk staring at the young vampire over her joined hands. “I know your aware he isn’t young anymore, and we need someone to help him.”

“Why me though?” she asked, “I’m sure you can hire a nurse, or someone with more profession of taking care of the ill, what I mean to say is I don’t know how to watch over someone...nor how to start!”

Integra looked to her with those cold hues of hers, “It’s better to have someone he knows watch him, if I hire a nurse he’ll complain, and I’m stuck firing the nurse on her first day. Besides, I don’t want him to feel like he’s isn’t capable of doing things on his own.”

Seras nodded slowly, “I see, alright then.” She sighed, and then looked to Integra, “If I do this, will I still be able to join the group on missions?”

“That matters, Seras. What if Walter needs you, and you’re call out to kill worthless ghouls, and artificial freaks, tell me what would you do?” Her brow slowly rose as she awaited Seras answer.

She gasped a bit at the question then looked to the side. Walter needing her to be with him, such is only a dream to her, to be that close and important to him. A slight blush appeared upon her pale cheeks, “I...I...I guess I would stay with him, and do what I can, to make him better...”

“Good, then I leave him in your hands, you can start right away.” She paused for a moment, “Seras...” She looked to her with a tender gaze that Seras has never seen before, “Please, do whatever you can for him, and I don’t want to see him in pain...”

Seras could only nod, yes she knew Integra loved Walter, but as a father of course, and always regretted everything that he has done for her resulting in pain for him. After she dismissed her, Seras walked out of Integra’s office heading down the hall to the study where Walter usually stays, but stopped hearing a familiar chuckle of amusement.

“Master...” She breathed softly as she watched the tall no life king appeared before her with that evil grin upon his face.

“I heard your going to become Walters care taker, Police Girl, I sure hope you won’t have to change his adult diapers.” He let out a evil laugh to his own comment.

“That was uncalled for!!” She yelled at him, her hands forming a fist at her side, “I’m helping him with his work, and making sure he doesn’t do anything to harm himself!”

Alucard only grinned to her sharp tongue, “No need to get angry, Police Girl, I was merely joking around. I know Walter doesn’t use adult diapers...he’s a bit TOO young for them.” Again he let out a fit of laughter.

Seras wasn’t happy with him at all, yes she cares for her master, but never when he’s a real bastard towards others she cares about, “I cannot believe you talk about your friend like that!”

“Friend? Merely just acquaintances...just because we fought together doesn’t make us buddies...”

“You...you...” She couldn’t think of anything to say, she just turned and walked to the study, Alucard watched, the grin never fading.

“Ah, Police Girl, you do whatever you can for him...” He stated to himself before fading into the darkness again.

Seras found herself at the door of the study, it was closed, which was very strange, usually Walter leaves it open to hear if anyone was in need of him at this time. She opened the door looking around the dimly lit room; she blinked seeing Walter lying on the couch, his arm over his eyes, his monocle on the end table, but what she couldn’t help to notice his tie was undone, and his shirt was unbutton some, exposing his well fit chest, nice for his age. She blushed furiously, but moved over to him anyway and knelt down beside him watching him as he softly took in breath as he slept, she was so tempted to touch his chest, her hand went out to lie upon it, but his eyes opened slowly, those pale green eyes looking over to the blushing young vampire, she withdrew her hand quickly.

“Miss. Victoria?” He had a questionable look upon his face, but then stood up realizing the time, “Oh dear! I must have drifted off again, oh Sir Integra must be wondering where her afternoon tea is...”

“Walter, it’s the evening....” She stated, taking his arm to stop him from moving.

He looked to her with a shocked expression, and then sighed softly as he remained seated upon the couch, “Goodness, I’m really loosing it now...”

“Its alright, Walter, I’m here to help you out now, Integra told me to take care of you...” She looked to him waiting for a reaction.

“Take care of me??” He didn’t like that one bit, he reach to grab his monocle, placing it upon his face, clamping it upon his ear again, “Seras, you know well I’m fine...don’t you?”

She looked away slowly, “Walter...I...I agree with Sir Integra, you need someone to take care of you, help you around the manor. No one wants you hurt again...”

Walter stared at her silently, everyone cared too much about him that they made Seras watch over him like he was some sort of child. He sighed, but yet it was true, he couldn’t do many thing like he use to when he was younger, he can’t even walk right anymore. He looked to Seras, he could see she was devoted to this new job of hers.

He smiled as he placed his hand upon hers. “Thank you, Miss. Victoria, I look forward to you help and assistance...”

She smiled, so relived he accepted her to help him out, Integra was right, he needed someone he knew to take care of him, maybe now this was a good chance to know the Angel of Death better. Before she could say anything, Walter stood slowly fixing himself up, and then reached for the silver cane with a green orb upon the top to grip, and started to the door, but stopped and slowly looked over to Seras, his eyes asking her if she was coming along. Seras jumped to her feet and followed him, wishing actually that he had left his shirt the way it was, Oh what a evil thought, she said to herself, he needed to dress proper for work, maybe she should start dressing the same...nah...
