Summary; After agreeing to a deal that seems too good to be true, Jeager and Dracula meet up to discuss what needs to be done. Or so Jeager thinks.
Log;

It really did seem good to be true. No disease or pain? Not that he was really worried about himself.. He would prefer if his friends were the ones to get this protection.

Maybe I should let him know about that..

Jeager hadn't told anyone of his discussion or meeting with Dracula. Mars would just lecture him to be careful or not go at all. Shogun.. he wasn't sure what the Kinniku God would do but he didn't want to worry him. Lucky for the vampire, Jeager had never read or watched the movies back in his world. He had heard Mars talk about the character when the two Draculas arrived to the city, but hadn't paid too much attention. Both seemed nice and polite. What was there to worry about?

The blonde reached the gardens and walked over to the sakura tree, looking around to see if the other had arrived yet. He shivered a bit and wrapped his coat around himself, hoping he wouldn't have to wait too long. It was getting late and a tad bit chilly out.

As night settled over the City, Dracula found his way to the unsuspecting Jeager. He had hopes that their meeting would yield another useful tool to cover what ground Katou could not.

Unlike his encounter with Katou, this one would be designed to bring Jeager to him willingly. Dracula allowed himself to be plainly visible as he approached, a gentleman in black suit and cloak, his long hair neatly tied back and his pale hands covered by white gloves.

"I thank you for agreeing to meet with me, my friend," he greeted. "I trust I have not kept you waiting too long."

The German turned towards him and smiled, "Nein, I just got here myself. Kind of glad we didn't meet yesterday. Zhat.. vould have been awkward." He still couldn't get over the fact that he kicked a dog, as silly as that sounded. Jeager had a knd heart, and the thought of hurting innocent people upset him. But that wasn't important right now.

"Ah, about our deal. Is the 'no disease or pain' just for me or can it be for my friends too?"

"No, but you will have the power to protect them. Perhaps, with time, you will be able to share that power with them." Dracula fully agreed as to the fortuitous timing of their meeting. The previous evening had seen him catering to Hellsing's mission and inquiring after the longings of his least objectionable counterpart--hardly the attitude he required when gathering innocents into his service.

"Really?.." He looked hopeful for a moment, but that quickly faded away, "All my life I haven't been able to protect anyvon.. There are so many powerful Chojins in my vorld.. I feel like they over shadow me."

Jeager stopped and rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed, "I'm sorry. I guess I'm just jealous. I'll shut up about zhat now. Anyvay, you needed me to run some errands for you, ja?"

Dracula smiled and placed a friendly hand on the man's shoulder. "Yes, I do ... but not at present. We are here to talk, Jeager, and to arrange the specifics of our contract. You have potentail, and I would like to help you develop it."

"Oh, right."

He paused for a moment.

"You really think so? I've been training so hard but I seem to have reached my limit.. Herr Leonidas says I need to overcome my fear of death to become stronger. It's hard to not be afraid though.."

"Would you like me to help you move beyond your fear?"

"As long as it doesn't involve me dying, ja. I vould like zhat." Jeager didn't want to be stuck in this city for the rest of his life. He wanted to return home and see his friends and family. Just the thought of him never getting to see them against made him shudder.

The vampire lifted his wrist and dug a suddenly clawlike thumbnail into the vien. His hand reached for Jeager's neck to pull him in. "Then taste."

"W-was.." He stared, wide eyed at Dracula's wrist. ".. You.. vant me to drink your blood? But why?.."

Then it hit him. Mars said vampires drink blood.. but if a normal person were to drink vampire blood?

Jeager slapped Dracula's hand away and started to back up, "Nein. I won't do it. I don't vant to become a vampire!"

"Only a servant," Dracula purred as he moved to trap his victim. "You have not earned true immortality yet."

The poor blonde found himself up against the sakura tree. He didn't want to fight.. but if the situation got any worse, he might just have to.

"So you didn't vant me for errands. You vanted to turn me into a mindless servant?"

"Not mindless ... but I would have your will bow to my own. You will be rewarded. Have no fear of that."

He made it sound so tempting.

".. I'm sorry, Herr Dracula, but I'd rather keep my will as my own."

"You have no choice in the matter."

"Then the deal is off." Jeager clenched his right hand, praying he wouldn't have to fight.

Dracula laughed and clamped his hand around Jeager's throat. "It's far too late to renege on our arrangement now."

Jeager choked a bit and grabbed at the vampire's wrist. "Please.. just let me go.. I could.. still help you, even if I'm not your servant."

If the boy had no desire to serve, he could still fulfill another, equally important role. Dracula tightened his hold and sank his fangs into the flesh of Jeager's throat.

The blonde groaned in pain, his grip on Dracula's wrists loosening. His eyes felt heavy for a moment. While it was painful, it felt kind of good.

Snap out of it! You can't let him over power you!

Jeager grabbed hold of the vampire's shoulders and brought his knee up, not caring where it hit, as long as it did some damage.

The blow was more surprising than painful. Dracula's fangs slipped from where they had lodged.

Jeager quickly shoved him away and raised his hand, which was already engulfed in flames and the blade ready

"BERLIN'S RED RAIN!" He shouted, bringing down his hand and slicing at Dracula's shoulder. It wasn't as deep as he wanted it to be, but aslong as it was enough to distract the vampire.

And it was deep enough to slow Dracula down. He was not like Alucard ... yet. He could not simply draw his blood back into himself.

Jeager took no time in getting the hell out of there and running straight back to his apartment complex.

Now, he just had to figure out how to hide the bite mark from Shogun and hope he himself wasn't going to turn into a vampire.
