OK, so this is just some random fan fiction I apparently had the inspiration for in class. I decided to start writing it because it's just so strange. There are other Vampire/Werewolf love stories about Saint Seiya, but not one like this...I hope. Anyway, this story is going to hopefully wow you and make you want to read more!

Chapter One: The Boy Who Talks To Wolves

Shun hadn't meant to do it, and neither had Hyoga. They were always together, because somehow the blonde haired boy had managed to get the timid greenette to come out of his shell. They were laughing together and playing. Shun tripped and hit Hyoga as he fell, causing the boy to stumble a step forward. There was a loud crunch and Shun felt something sharp enter his hands.

They had broken a ceramic toy. That was it. It was something so insignificant now that had seemed so important then. Shun started to cry, because though he was upset about breaking his older brother's favorite toy, he had also hurt himself. No one knew why, but something had happened early on in his life that had made him terrified of seeing blood, and his hands were covered in it. He had been such a small and pretty boy, and always a target of the predators that lurked in the shadows. Because of that, his mother and father tried to keep him away from danger as much as possible. And Hyoga's parents did the same for him. For some reason, the two boys seemed to attract the attention of the undead: Shun with Werewolves, and Hyoga with Vampires. But this day they had miscalculated. This was the day when everything had changed and seven years of grief and anger had followed.

Shun's older brother Ikki had showed up then with his friends Shiryu and Seiya, to find their toy broken. Hyoga was worried about Shun and trying to calm him, but the other three boys were so upset that they hadn't noticed that Shun was hurt and terrified. It was impossible after all these years to decipher what they had said to the two boys, but their words were in anger. They hadn't meant all the things they had said, and they certainly never would have made Shun cry even more if they had known what would happen. But the one thing he remembered very clearly was that Ikki had said that he hated Shun.

The two boys were hurt, and fled deep into the forest just outside of town. They paid no heed that they had wondered into the place that they had been forbidden to go. They only wanted to escape. Shun was hurt by Ikki's words and terrified of the blood. His hands stung from going untreated. But he knew that eventually Ikki would calm down and see the blood and want to make it up to them. Shun had just decided to turn back and go home when Hyoga had turned on him. Hyoga blamed Shun for it and also said hateful things to the boy. It was an accident and he knew it, but he was hurt and didn't want to be blamed for it. He was also hurt about what their friends had said to him. Then he turned and left the young boy alone in the forest. It was the worst mistake that Hyoga had ever made. He could defend himself against the creatures that hunted him. He could hide. But Shun couldn't. Werewolves didn't rely on their sight as much as Vampires did.

Shun sobbed, alone and very frightened on the forest floor. He didn't want to go home now. He didn't want to see Ikki or anyone else because the one person he had trusted would understand him above all others had just abandoned him. How could Ikki and his friends understand what it was like to be trapped inside until a day when his parents weren't worried if he would die or not? Hyoga was the only one. The boy eventually stopped crying. He didn't have any more tears to spare. He had realized where he was and that the sun was much farther in the sky than it had been. Scared, he started to make his way back to the house, when he came upon the scene that changed his life forever.

He was in the middle of a territorial battle between Werewolves and Vampires. It happened quite often around here, and Shun knew that he was in a bad situation. No one ever came back from something like this. There was always a massacre, and some of the bodies were never found. Shun shuddered and tried to escape, but found that he was hemmed in on every side by fighting monsters. Most of them ignored him, but every now and then, an angry Vampire or Werewolf tried to attack him. Only sheer dumb luck and swiftness kept him from dying.

But sooner or later he knew he would die. It was only a matter of time. He knew it was. These creatures were merciless hunters of the living creatures that surrounded them. There were several villagers trapped in the battle, around a dozen. They were all terrified they were going to die, but none of them were any younger than twenty or so. When they saw they seven year old child they felt their hearts go out to him. They knew they were going to die, but more than anything else, they wanted him to live. Shun was terrified of the blood and unable to escape from it now. It was everywhere, but the villagers tried their best to encourage him on and protect him.

But they too were falling one by one. They wouldn't last long. The last one was a young first time mother. She saw her own child in him, and her instincts took over. This was not her child, but she wanted to protect him none the less. Dying from a wound a Vampire had given her, she ran to him and pulled him to the ground. Then, she told him to be still and quiet and not to move until help came. She laid herself on top of the boy, praying that her own blood would mask his scent and convince the creatures that he was dead.

Hours passed, and Shun realized that the woman had died. He felt sadness and fear welling up inside of him at the same time. But he dared not move. The battle was still raging, and creatures were falling. But neither side was giving up. They were not going to back down. The village had started to notice now too. Shun knew the drill. They would all gather and then they would count up who wasn't there. Those families of the missing, would then be taken somewhere to mourn quietly. No one simply went away for a few hours and didn't come back until later with a battle waging. Then again, no one ever usually just wondered into a battle. They were usually dragged in by the creatures, for sport. Shun suddenly felt very numb.

He didn't care about the blood any more. He didn't care about the dying people and even the thought that he would die. He could only remember the day's events. Ikki had said he hated him. And he believed it. He was always a burden for everyone. They were always protecting him and he couldn't do anything to help. He was weak. Yes, his family and friends would mourn him. But probably not for long. They would be free of his burden at last. Ikki and his friends would never have to worry about his mother telling them they had to play with him. They wouldn't have to worry where he was or what he was doing or if he was going to get hurt. He would be gone and they could just move on and forget about him. It would be better if he was finally gone.

Slowly, silence began to fall, but even then, Shun had no hope of surviving. In a way, he was almost hoping that he didn't survive. He couldn't stand the thought of being such a burden any longer. But it seemed that the Werewolves had won. The injured were retrieved and the two sides retreated. But Shun wasn't alone. He knew that some Werewolves and Vampires would remain behind at the battle field for up to three days. No one was allowed to enter until the fourth day, when everything had finally died down. And there was a Werewolf here.

She was a large silver female. It was strange how Shun could tell, but he just could. She had pretty golden eyes. Her sleek muzzle was on the ground, scenting for something. She could only have been an Alpha female. She was too large -about the size of a battle tank to the shoulder- to be anything else. Slowly she drew closer, sniffing the ground as she went. She paused inches in front of him, and Shun began to tremble. He felt fear, truly felt fear for the first time. She was going to kill him, he knew it. She snarled and shoved the woman's body away with her nose. Shun looked up at her in terror, his little body quaking furiously as he waited. He didn't try to run. She could out run him easily. He didn't try to scream. What good would it do? He only sat there, his belly still pressed to the ground. Then he curled up into a ball and despite himself, began to sob.

She should have killed him there. That was what they were supposed to do. Her lips pulled back in preparation to strike down the miserable cur. But she couldn't. He was such a pretty human really, and small. He was terrified of her, and she didn't like it. His cries were too much like a young Werewolf pup's for her to ignore. He was just a pup himself. She had lost her own litter of pups to a group of humans not so long ago, and the pain still lingered in her heart. She had swore to kill any human she found, but she couldn't bring herself to strike him. Humans had pups too, and this one was scared. She wondered if her pups had been as frightened as he was now when they met with the humans. That thought destroyed all of her resistance. She leaned down and gently licked the child's shoulder.

He froze, whether in fear or disbelief, she wasn't sure. Then slowly he turned his eyes back to her. They were a pretty color, like the blue of a new born pup. His hair was green and feathered lightly to rest on his shoulders. Overall he was a very attractive young human. She could not speak the same language as he could, but she tried her best to convey that she wouldn't hurt him. He didn't seem to understand her, but she knew that he would learn. She had decided that she couldn't leave him to become bait for the Vampires. She would care for him. Her purpose had been only revenge, but she felt a new purpose when she looked at the boy. Very gently, like a mother wolf would pick up her pup, she scooped the child up into her large and powerful jaws and walked away with him there. He froze and remained still. Good, at least he knew not to struggle in between her fangs.

Shun opened his eyes and looked towards the ceiling. How long had it been since he had last had that dream? He loathed to remember it. When he did, he always felt the sting of what he had lost and what had been said. But he had been raised as a Werewolf now. He couldn't simply return to human society because he no longer acted as human as he once had. His Mother had raised him to be a strong Werewolf, though technically he could never be one. You had to be born one. A human could be turned into a Vampire though.

So Shun had been raised by Sakura, the Alpha female of the pack, and her mate, the Alpha male, Kakashi. They had taught him the language of the packs, one of no words but signals, and they had raised him to be a fierce hunter, though one that was strange for a pack of Werewolves. They were very proud of him, and in the pack he was treated well and respected. If he had been adopted by any other female, he would have been killed within minutes. Only the Alpha pair could have pups. Werewolves lived just as long as humans, and in Werewolf years he was still a pup. Until he turned Twenty, about four years from now, he would be treated as such. And because of that he was jealously guarded in the pack. Pups were always protected for a long time in the pack. None of the Werewolves would let trouble befall him, and if he wanted something, one of them would be there to give it to him in an instant.

Most humans thought that Werewolves were merciless killers. But that wasn't true. They avoided humans because humans hunted them. They only killed humans when necessary and most of the time they let them go. They had a very complex hierarchy, and Shun had somehow found himself on the top. Also, people tended to believe that Werewolves hated weakness of any kind. But that also wasn't true. The Werewolves had many different personalities, though on the battle field weaknesses seemed to disappear. The Werewolves loved Shun's easy going personality and the way he could smile and make then all feel better. To them, Shun was just another Werewolf. And humans thought that Werewolves were humans that could change into wolves. But they weren't. They were always wolves. His Mother was close behind him, and she had awoken when he had. She could always tell when he was upset. She whined at him gently to let him know she wanted his attention, and he turned his eyes to her.

"What is it my son?" She asked in the language of the pack. Shun looked away as he began to reply. The Werewolves by now had all memorized his strange version of their language.

"I was just dreaming of my past again." he assured her. "It's nothing to be worried about."

"You miss them." she said, whining and licking his face gently with the tip of her tongue. "I know you do. I can see it in your eyes. I'm sorry to cause you such distress, but it was for your own good. I couldn't leave you there to let the barbarians find you." That was the Werewolf's word for Vampires. They called them barbarians.

"I know Mother." he replied. "And I know you've been protecting me for all of these years."

"I've thought about many times sending you back to your own kind, but I can never manage it. I can't lose you to them too." She said, her lips pulling back into a snarl at the thought. "I know it would be better if you were with your own people, but you're far to young to let out of my sight. And besides Shun, I love you too much to let you go."

"I would rather stay in the pack." Shun said. "I wouldn't know how to be human again. And I can't bring myself to face the past. I can't take the chance that any of them might have meant what they said. I've tried to tell myself that my friends and my brother didn't mean it, but I can't convince myself. They were hurt, and I never seemed to do any good. I was weak. At least here, I can be of some use. There I was always a burden. I think it's better now that they think I'm gone. They won't have to worry about me. And my brother and my friends can go on with their lives."

"How can you say that Shun?" His Mother asked. "You've told me all of these fond stories about them, and about your life. I know for sure that they didn't mean what they said, and that they miss you. They have to. You're too sweet to not miss. They've probably been mourning you for all of these nine years. Your family has to be in a lot of pain, because they feel like they finally let you out of their sights and you got hurt. And if anything, your friends and your brother feel like it's their fault. You're gone and the reason is because they hurt you enough to make you leave. It was their job to watch you and they failed. They must be in a lot of pain Shun. Why can't you see that? You're hurt badly. I can see it day by day. You feel like your own short comings are what made them turn on you. An accident is an accident, and pups will be pups. They have forgiven you, but not themselves. You have forgiven them, but not yourself. The cycle goes two ways, always. Didn't I teach you this?"

"Yes you did Mother." Shun replied. She gently licked his face again and then stood. He sat up and waited for her as she stretched. It was time for the pack to rise.

"Come along then." She said. "Your Father must be ready to go. The hunt starts today. You're still too young to participate in it, but there will be a young female here to watch you. You remember Hinata don't you?"

"Yes I do." Shun replied.

"Good. The rest of us will be out in the forest trying to catch enough deer to feed the pack. You be good now, and mind her won't you?"

"Yes Mother."

"Good boy. Now hold still." Sakura said. She reached down and scooped him up into her jaws. He remained still. He was still considered a pup, and being a rather small human boy she could still easily carry him. No one in the pack looked down on it. If the pup was still small enough to be carried by his Mother then he would be. It was as simple as that. He had grown used to it.

She began to walk out of the cavern they were in and into the main cavern of the cave where all of the Werewolves would be gathered. Shun sat there limply between her jaws, thinking over his strange turn of events. In human years, he would be a young adult and becoming increasingly independent from his parents. But here, he couldn't get out of the sight of any of the Werewolves. He had trained and learned to be a hunter, and he was good too, but he was too young to go on an official hunt. He had grown now, to age sixteen, and he was still strangely beautiful for a young man. His body was still small for a person his age, but his voice had deepened a little and he had grown taller. Even with all of the working out he did with the Werewolves, he was still thin and didn't seem to have much muscle, though he was undeniably strong.

In the main cavern Werewolves of all sizes were gathered in a ring surrounding Kakashi. Kakashi was an Alpha male that was even taller than Sakura, with black fur and dark storm gray eyes. He wagged his tail a little at his mate as she began to walk through the circle of Werewolves, who parted to let her past. She stopped by his side and laid down, dropping Shun gently onto her front paws. Kakashi licked her muzzle once and then licked Shun's face gently. The gathered Werewolves were talking excitedly to each other, but fell silent as Kakashi began to talk.

Shun couldn't tell what he was saying since he wasn't looking at him, but he did know when the other Werewolves growled in appreciation. His Mother watched his Father carefully, listening to his every word. Shun was ignoring him, because he was expected to. Then however, his Mother let out a growl to get everyone's attention. Shun turned his eyes back to her.

"I know you're probably worried about Shun," She said. "but don't worry. I've seen no human hunters to threaten our pack, so we'll only leave him with one Wolf. She is old enough now to care for my young while I am gone, and she has already proven that she is a resourceful young Werewolf. Hinata, step forward."

The pretty young she-wolf stepped forward. She was a smaller Werewolf, but still large enough that she could pick Shun up between her jaws. Her eyes were a deep emerald green, and her fur was a cinnamon color speckled with black and gray and brown. She seemed surprised but excited to have been chosen by the Alpha female with the great honor to watch over her pup. She wagged her tail gently and whined up at Shun's Mother.

"I will make sure that nothing happens to him." Hinata said.

The pack made it's last preparations to leave and Shun slid off of his Mother's paws. Hinata gently licked his face and whined to him gently. He turned to look at his Mother.

"Be good Shun." His Mother said. "We'll be back soon."

"Yes Mother." Shun replied. His Father licked his face gently.

"Ah, my little warrior." his Father said. "Be strong my son. We'll see you soon."

"Yes Father."

At last, the pack turned to leave, and everyone left him and Hinata alone. The female Werewolf wagged her tail and bowed down into the playing position. He smiled at her gently when she did.

"Just because I have to watch you doesn't mean we can't have fun." She said. "Tell me if you want to do something. You're such an easy pup to watch. You never get into any trouble. It makes my job easier."

"I don't really feel like doing anything." he said. "It's nothing really. I just feel lazy today I guess."

"That's fine. Just make sure that you're not bored OK?" Hinata asked. "I think your Mother would..." she suddenly stopped talking and her ears went up. Her nose began to twitch violently and she began to tremble.

"What's wrong?" he asked. He knew that her instincts, even now, far surpassed his.

"Hush Shun." she said. "Someone's outside."

"Humans?" Shun asked. He found it a little strange that he no longer really thought of himself as one. Hinata suddenly snarled and stood, her hackles raising.

"No! Undead Hunters!" She snarled. Shun gasped. He knew that if they found them here they would kill her and take him, if they didn't see him as a threat. Hinata snarled, and then she quickly reached down and grabbed him in between her jaws. He gasped. She was a little rougher than she would have normally been, but she was scared and she knew that she had to protect him. He was a pup from her pack. Shun remained still as she turned and ran as quickly as she could without hurting him in between her strong jaws. His Mother hadn't seen the Undead Hunters, because they had been hiding and waiting for the pack to leave. It was a strategy they had used before. They always came in to kill the pups and keep the pack from getting larger. She dropped Shun down behind her as she came into a room and turned to snarl at the approaching Hunters.

"I'll kill you if you try to touch him!" She snarled even though she knew they couldn't hear her.

They were young Hunters, and there was only two of them. Shun felt as if his stomach had just been kicked. It was impossible wasn't it? One was tall, broad shouldered and seemed tan. His hair was a deep blue color and he seemed to be full of muscle. Shun recognized him as his older brother Ikki. The other was also a familiar face. He wasn't as muscled as Ikki, but he was still taller and had broader shoulders than Shun. His hair was brown and his eyes were also a gentle brown. It was Ikki's friend Seiya. They seemed nervous to see the large Werewolf, and watched her nervously.

"I didn't think they'd actually be in here." Seiya said. "You said you wanted to come look for Shun, but it looks like they actually have a pup here."

"Wait..." Ikki said. "I think someone's behind her..."

"A pup?" Seiya asked.

"No a human." Ikki said.

"What?" Seiya gasped, trying to see him too. Shun quickly hid so that they couldn't see his face. "A Werewolf protecting a human?"

"Hey, it's OK." Ikki said. "Come on out here. We won't hurt you. Don't be scared."

"I'm not scared of you Ikki." Shun said quietly. Both of them froze when he said the older boy's name. "I just don't know how to react after seeing you after all this time..." Hinata's snarl disappeared somewhat when she heard him speak. She could not understand his language, but she could tell that he wasn't afraid of these people, and that he knew them.

"Who are you?" Ikki asked. Slowly Shun looked around the Werewolf's legs and met his eyes. Both young men gasped. They were so much older than he remembered them, and more handsome. He wondered how they thought he had changed. They of course were shocked to see him, but they were glad to see him alive too. Both of them were stunned at how beautiful he was. The years could not have matured him into a more wonderful young man than they could have imagined.

"S-shun?" Seiya gasped.

They were suddenly cut off as Kakashi burst into the cavern, snarling angrily. Sakura was close behind. The two young men jumped suddenly and turned to face them. But Shun ran forward to get their attention.

"Shun, get out of the way." His Father growled. "I'm going to destroy them."

"Did they hurt you?" His Mother asked with a snarl. Ikki and Shun didn't seem to know what to do.

"No." Shun said. "They're Seiya and Ikki. You remember them, I told you about them. They came in here to look for me. I don't think they mean any harm." Both Werewolves paused, their lips lowering a bit and their snarls disappearing. They cocked their heads as they looked at him, telling him that they did remember, and they somewhat trusted his judgment. Ikki and Seiya were stunned. They had heard of people learning to speak to Werewolves, but never to this extent. Shun watched his Mother and Father for a moment.

"Alright." his Father snarled. "You may speak to them. But be quick about it. I don't want their hunter stench in here for long." Shun nodded and turned to look at them. He smiled at them.

"Sorry." He said. "They tend to be overprotective of me."

"W-what happened?" Seiya asked. "We thought you were dead!"

"Well, uh." Shun said. "I was stuck out in that battle. But Sakura," he motioned to her "the Alpha female, decided to adopt me. I've been living with Werewolves for nine years. And the strange thing is, they're nothing like I thought they were."

"She adopted you? Why?" Ikki asked.

"Her pups." Shun said. "They were killed by a group of humans because they thought it would be fun. When she saw me, she was reminded of her pups, so she took me in."

"I've never heard of that happening..." Seiya said. But neither of them would meet his eyes. Shun was reminded of what Sakura had said this morning about them. She was right. They felt bad about what had happened, and they blamed themselves. Shun smiled a little at them.

"It's good to see you again. I've missed you. But it's hard to get away for long with all of these Werewolves. The pack is at least a thousand strong."

"Do you know where Hyoga is?" Seiya suddenly asked.

"Hyoga? No." Shun said. "Why?"

"Hmm..." Seiya said. "Then maybe Shiryu was right and he is with Vampires..."

"He never came home either?" Shun asked. He knew that his family must be in pain, like his must be.

"No."Ikki said. "We thought you were both dead, but we heard that you were still alive. So we had to come to see. We became Undead Hunters to try and find you."

"Really?"Shun asked quietly.

"Of course." Seiya said. "We missed you. We all did. I think everyone will be relieved to learn that you're alright. Especially your parents. Shiryu's trying to find Hyoga."

"But we're glad we found you..." Ikki said. "Especially now that we know where you are."

"Why?" Shun asked. "What's going on?"

"Shun..." Ikki said. "The council that guides the Undead Hunters has asked us to form alliances with Werewolves and Vampires."

"Why?" Shun asked.

"There's someone using dark magic. They're threatening humans that much, and Vampires and Werewolves as well. But the thing is...we can't talk to Werewolves..."

"I-I'll talk to them..." Shun said. He turned to look at his Mother and Father. They could tell instantly that he was nervous. "Mother, Father, there's something you should know..."

So that's the first chapter. I will admit, that the first part of the Chapter kind of made me sad, and it made me want to cry. Also, the chapter kind of went fast. But I needed to add some sort of story line into this. Next chapter Hyoga will be the main character and we'll learn his story. Then I'll actually start the main part of the story line. I wonder how the villagers will react when I bring Shun and all of his Werewolf buddies into town...

Lol I hope you enjoyed and you will continue to support my writing!
