Ok…This is my first story, so please be nice! I know, my first story is a yaoi. So if you don't like, please don't read! I don't want any flames for my first story DX

Disclaimer: I do not own bakugan! This story isn't even about bakugan, kay? I'm using the characters from the series. So yes, Shun's mom isn't actually (in the TV show) "Samantha".

Oh, and if you don't like vampires, this story isn't for you ;) I suggest you give it a shot though (Twilight ruined my perspective on vampires too, don't worry! THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO SPARKLE! THEY JUST AREN'T! But all of this *points at sparkle comment* is what this story is going to fix… *sinister grin*).

Oh, and the reason this fic is rated M is for later chapters. Plus there's some abuse in the first chap.

Shun gazed upon the scene in front of him. They were fighting… fighting over something stupid. That's how it always happened right? Dad would come home, mom would walk downstairs, they would talk for awhile- then all hell would break loose.

"Richard, I just don't-" Richard slapped her.

"Don't even start with me Samantha! I'm in a bad mood-" Samantha started screaming at him while rubbing her cheek.

The raven haired boy sighed, ascending the steps. Yep, this was his life. Just a bunch of yelling, abuse, and well… abuse. He was lucky his dad hadn't taken it out on him this time. Bruises lined his arms and torso from yesterday, all of them sickly colors of black and blue.

Once Shun reached his room with the door safely shut behind him, he threw himself onto his bed. He looked up at the ceiling after taking a deep breath.

Just another day…

There was a sudden banging noise. Shun sat up right, his eyes fixed on the door. What was-?

It swung open, revealing his father… Who didn't look very sober. The man's eyes were full of anger and hatred.

Shun crawled backwards on the bed until his back hit the wall. Richard slammed the door shut behind him as he sauntered in. He threw the bottle of whiskey he had to the floor. The man pointed a bony finger at Shun, a growl escaping his thin lips.

"This… this is all your fault."

Shun shook his head, trying to back farther against the wall, "No dad, y-you don't know what you're-"

"Shut up!" Richard stumbled forward towards the bed, leaning towards Shun, "Not another word from you."

The scent of alcohol filled Shun's nose, making him gag on the inside. He put his hands on his father's shoulders, trying to push the drunken away from him. The man just shook his head, grabbing Shun's wrists, "Look at you Shun… You're as bad as me. Except, you can't defend yourself."

He smirked then, "Which is something every father teaches his son."

Tears ran down Shun's cheeks as he was thrown onto the floor. His father stood over him, looking down at his son with a frown. The amber eyed teen's world immediately went black afterwards, when a fist connected with his face.

The creature of the night breathed in the crisp evening air. His purple eyes scanned the scenery around him. There were humans everywhere. Each one of them oblivious to the fact that he was, well…a vampire. This is what made feeding so easy for his kind.

"Prince Shadow!"

The white haired teen turned to the voice that called him, "What is it Gus?"

The king's advisor ran up to him, putting his hands on his knees while panting. In between breaths he explained, "Your father wants you back after you-"

"Yes, yes, I know! He told me before I left."

Gus straightened his posture, looking him in the eyes, "… So I just ran all the way over here… to tell you-"

"Yes, now run back."

The blue eyed man glared at him, still not very fond of the prince, but turned and started running back from which he came.

Shadow rolled his eyes, returning to what he was doing before. What was he doing? Oh right, looking for someone to eat.

He once again looked over the pathetic, insignifigent, vampire haters- Shadow awkwardly coughed, letting those thoughts slip away for a moment. There wasn't anyone worth killing on this part of town, he concluded with disappointment.

Shadow sighed and continued walking down the stone pavement, stopping every now and then when a hot chick would cross his path.

Too much concealer…

Another one walked past him.

Guah! Wearing a turtle neck! I don't want to deal with that struggle again!

A man in his mid twenties shuffled past him, trying to look all gangster like with his pants that were belted at his thighs.

Ugh, too egotistical…

Shadow growled, this was getting harder over the years. He was just about to give up in this stupid town, when the powerful aroma of blood filled his nose.

That smells so sweet…

The white haired teen immediately took off after the smell, his feet caring him into a dark alley behind an apartment complex. Shadow raised an eyebrow, "Now why would someone-"

He stopped dead in his tracks. A boy that looked no older than 16 was sprawled out across the alley's concrete floor. As Shadow started walking closer he noticed how much blood their was around him.

Geesh… what happened to this kid.

Shadow kneeled beside him, looking at him more intently. He had to admit, they boy was very attractive. He consisted of striking, jet black hair and an exceedingly lithe body, with somewhat tight clothing that showed his off his figure even more so.

The vampire smirked, catching a whiff of the teen's blood again. It smelled so good… Shadow licked his lips, starting to lean towards his neck with fangs fully extended.

"N-no… p-please." Begged a weak voice from beneath him. Shadow locked gazes with the boy's now open eyes. They were a stunning amber color.

Hey! What are you doing? You're here to eat, not listen to this kid beg for mercy!

Shadow quickly regained his composure and said, "Sorry, but I-"

Tears started running down the amber eyed teen's cheeks.

What are you waiting for? The kid to stand up and walk away? Get on with it already!

Shadow cleared his mind and leaned forward again, his sharp teeth touching the beautiful boy's neck. He felt the body beneath him shiver as they slid into his blood stained neck. A sweet taste filled the vampire mouth, sliding down his throat with ease.

Oh gawd this kid tastes good…

~x~

Shun eyes squeezed shut at the tingling sensation from his neck. This was it… he was going to die. He wouldn't have to deal with the fighting, screaming, abuse… it was all over.

He felt the vampire pick up his broken body, shoving him against a wall to get a better angle.

This is a nice way to die isn't it Shun? Letting a vampire suck all the blood that's left inside of you…

Shun's entire frame was trembling. This wasn't how he wanted to die. Anything was better than this. He was being killed by some man off the street. Heck, he would rather be beaten by his own father to death. And THAT was saying a lot.

He was really starting to get dizzy. The whole world was beginning to spin…

~x~

Shadow continued to drink from the raven haired boy. That's when he felt the teen's legs give out beneath him.

Shit, I've only been drinking from him for like 10 seconds…

The vampire drew back and caught the kid in his arms, noticing his closed eyes. The boy wasn't unconscious though, he was… shaking.

Shadow felt guilt flood over him. Here was a teenager, obviously having been beaten, being held all bloody and battered by the person that was trying to kill him. This kid's life was a wreck, and he just made it ten times worse.

The night creature sighed, glancing at the small human in his arms. What would he do with him though? An idea came to his mind suddenly. He took off his over coat, wrapping it around the teen's diminutive body. In one swift movement, Shadow picked him up bridal style.

Dad's gonna kill me…

Sooo, how was it? It's gonna pick up later, I PROMISE! This is for all you ShadowXShun fans! I noticed there was a severe lack of this pairing, so I decided to make a difference! XD Please R&R, that would be great!
