Title: All in the Past

Summary: Sho's a vampire, Hana is moving to study abroad, and Kei's convinced Sho to stay with him in a new townhouse. All seems to be going well until a local mob boss's 'pet' runs away. Will Sho and Kei return it or will they keep it for themselves? (do I have to say it's KeixSho???)

A/N: Hey there! this is the first Moon Child fic I've actually gotten around to writing! don't flame me just yet. and a lot of credit for this goes to my bestest friend Rubi-Chi!!! thinking of u wherever u r!!

She actually forced me to watch it once! sigh thus is the east coast T-T we're so ignorant... right so THX MUCH RUBI AND CHIKARA!!!!!!!!! now to start the story. note: all events except the prologue, which is set after the first fight scene but before they meet Son, are set after the movie just so u know.

Pro.

"Hey! Toshi got it right for once!" Sho called behind him to what he liked to think of as his 'guardian vampire'.

"Just don't get too cocky Sho. They might be unconscious in this room but you don't know about the others." Kei called back to him, sitting down on a table near the wall to wait for him to finish pick pocketing the men asleep in the room.

"Yeah, yeah." Sho grumbled. He's so cynical!

Sho proceeded to walk around the room getting anything of worth from the defenseless men.

"Kei I'm moving on to the next room."

"Okay, Sho."

"Well aren't you coming?" Sho asked noticing that Kei didn't move in the slightest to follow him.

"No. You can pickpocket a few sleeping men without me."

"Yeah but..." Sho's sentence died off there. How could he tell Kei he wanted him to come with him because he just liked to be near him? How could he tell him he loved the fact that he still trained him now and then just because it was some alone time where they were in close-contact with each other?

How could he tell Kei that he loved him?

So, a little disenhearted, Sho continued on to the next room...and the next...and the next. Growing a little more depressed and delving more and more into thought as he went, until he didn't even stop to steal from the unconscious men around him and merely walked from room to room. Then he hit the last room where a gunshot (THAT MISSED!) woke him from his dazed state. Drawing two of his guns he started to fire on the ten men in the room.

He downed three of them easy, but one of the others managed a shot that deeply grazed his left shoulder, effectively disabling it for the time being.

Without his dominant hand Sho had a tough time fighting and the remaining men easily disarmed him and threw him up against a wall.

Meanwhile Kei was thinking how it disturbed him a little just how much he like his time around Sho. But his love of those times greatly outweighed the part of it that creeped him out.

He was busy imagining a fully grown Sho when He heard a gunshot...then another and another and another.

In a flash Kei was out of the room running to go see if Sho was alright.

Unfortunately most of the men in the back rooms were starting to wake up, so Kei had to kill all of them first. Which was easy since most of the guys remained sound asleep (just how much pizza did they have??)

Kei made it to the last room as four men were closing in around Sho, who was tensed near the far wall and ready to strike.

Just as he was about to help out Kei got shot three times; once in the leg, once in the heart, and once in the head.

Seeing Kei get shot startled Sho. Seeing Kei fall to the ground enraged him. Seeing a large pool of blood form quickly around him made something in Sho snap.

He charged for the three men that shot Kei but was stopped by the four around him. With the (madd) martial arts skills that his beloved vampire taught him he managed to kill the men around him. But in doing so he gave the other thugs time to reload.

Even in his lividly, crazy state having three guns pointed at his head, Sho didn't move.

"Search him for the loot." One of the thugs said.

And so the other two proceeded to search Sho for the money he had stolen. When they were sure he had no more money on him they returned to the man Sho suspected to be the boss.

"This can't be all he has you idiots! The safe is empty and there was a whole hell-of-a-lot more in there than this" the boss-man yelled. He fired a shot that just barley mussed Sho's hair. As Sho flinched the two apparent minions hit Sho in the stomach, winding him.

For the next fifteen minutes they proceeded to try and beat the whereabouts of their missing cash out of Sho while Kei slowly healed, growing more and more feral each time he heard Sho cry out in pain.

"Where the hell is the rest of the money you fucking thief!" The boss yelled at Sho for the fortieth time.

Kei was about to move, completely healed or not, when a girl in a long black trench coat, carrying a baton walked in calmly. She looked around the room with round, innocent eyes and giggled. Kei determined she was no more that 15. But he couldn't figure out why she was there none the less why she was giggling like that

"What are you laughing at, bitch! Do you know the rest of our cash is?!"

"The cat has all the answers but doesn't always tell!" she laughed again.

"Have you seen our money or not!?" He asked again turning his full attention to the girl and lowering Sho.

"Money no, Shadows yes!" she said with a smile.

The Boss-thug dropped the bloodied Sho and started to walk over to the strange girl. Somehow he knew that she was just playing dumb as to the whereabouts of his missing money.

"Where the hell is our money!!!?"

"Gone! Off into the darkness with the Shadows." She replied.

"And where ARE these 'shadows'!?" He started to walk over to her dangerously slowly.

"Up, down, left, right? All confused thanks to the shadows."

"You little fucking bitch where is our money!!?" he said grabbing onto her collar.

Her eyes narrows as she said, "The shadows are coming. Are you ready? If not too bad!"

She whipped her baton around and hit the boss square in the head. There was a sickening crack as the short metal stick hit skull bone.

The two remaining thugs began to fire on her but she just dodged them with a quickness that Sho had only seen from Kei. She pushed a small black switch in the middle of the baton and pulled on opposing sides. It came apart into two dagger length blades. With these she killed the remaining men quickly.

Sheathing her blades to make the baton once more, she walked over to Sho and asked, "Are you okay? Sorry about this," she reached down and softly touched some of Sho's wounds, "but I didn't think anyone else was here until I heard the gunfire. Looks like I'm a little late." She helped Sho stand up. He wobbled a little but managed to stay upright. He was amazed; this little girl had just killed three men without batting an eyelash!

When he could find is voice Sho said, "I'm really not the one to worry about, my friend..."

She walked over to Kei and laughed. "A vampire getting shot. This is a bittersweet moment. Mostly 'cause I didn't shoot you." she sighed. "Well looks like you're off the hook for now pal!" she said regaining her innocent demeanor. She dragged one of the dead men over to Kei managing to hold him up so some of the blood would run into his mouth. Then she pricked her finger and let two drops follow the small trickle down Kei's throat. Almost instantly Kei was feeling much better.

Kei sat up slowly. Sho's mood lightened considerably. And a little black kitten walked over to the girl. It had a huge roll of money in its mouth, which it gave to the girl.

"Thanks Shadows!" She gave the money to Kei "I think we'll meat again."

"How do we know we can trust you?" Kei asked as he was helped up by Sho.

She walked over to the window and said, "To trust, or not to trust... I trust you'll decide." And with that she jumped out the window and into the dark Mallepa night.

ending note: can anyone guess where her lines are from!? They're direct quotes from somewhere. The first person to buzz (buzz) in with the right answer gets the first actual chapter (which will be longer (I was hard pressed to get this up before Christmas)) dedicated to him/her! and if I can figure out how to... my special Christmas e-mail! (warning in the event that you want the e-mail (which is Hilarious!) I'll need your address so I'll ask first on that)!
