[ Seimei had been doing quite a fine job of convincing himself that he was going to amke it through, and none of the events were tied to genuine acts. It was a temporary madness - everything would be fine. Then of course everyone had to start killing one another and completely ruin that idea.
Ippo went down under Crona's attack and the onmyoji felt a flicker of regret for not getting to know the boy better. Then the damaged creature turned on Alucard and things started to get more complicated. Seimei was well aware of Taisan's interest in the half-living creature, and a small, cold, calculating and practical part of him felt that Alucard's demise would mean his shikigami would be less distracted and inclined to attempt disobedience. A greater part felt it necessary to reach out in aid to a fellow hybrid. The greatest part of all, insisted he flee.
For whatever erason, his magic had escaped his use entirely, and in order to get to the root of the issue, survival was key. Alucard was no slouch in combat, he could take care of himself. He wasn't even certain the man could die, so it stood to reason that he - who was most certainly vulnerable to death and deathlike symptoms - should live to fight another day. Particularly if he was o warn the others about Crona's madness and betrayal that could affect them all.
So he did what any smart man in his position would do.
