Please R&R

Shun's eyes grew wide as the man's words sank in. Kill? At the same time, his mother began moaning.

"No…I don't want…to… Not…my…son…"

"Mom, are you alright?" The threatening words instantly forgotten, Shun approached his mother, trying to find a way to help, a habit from the days when she had been ill. "Mom, tell me what's wrong."

"Shun… No…don't….come near…me…" Shiori Kazami pleaded with her son, knowing that her control over the body was slipping.

"Mom, just tell me what's wrong!" Shun disregarded his mother's words and went closer and closer. Suddenly, a blade sliced upwards, narrowly missing his face. It was then that he noticed that the mechanical body didn't have forearms or hands: they were replaced by a long blade. His mother slashed again, and Shun's ninja reflexes kicked in. He dodged to one side, then jumped out of the way as his mother followed it up with another slash. "Mom, what are you doing!" Shun's mother didn't reply, only attacked him again in response, while Shun flipped out of the way. "Mom, stop it! Please, stop!"

"You can't reason with her, boy." There was the man's voice again. "She's my puppet now, and she'll do what I tell her to." Shun's eyes narrowed in anger. He turned in the direction of the man, planning how best to attack him, when he was interrupted by another slash by his mother. Shun jumped out of the way again.

Slash. Strike. Shun jumped and dodged the attacks, trying to find an opening to go on the offensive. There! Shun ducked under a horizontal attack and sent a knife-hand flying at the ribs of the mechanical body, hoping that he won't hurt his mother too much.

"AH!" Shun jumped away, cradling his hurt hand. Whatever that mechanical body was made out of, it was hard. On the plus side, it meant that his mother wasn't hurt; on the minus, it meant that he couldn't to anything except dodge.

Back flip. Jump. Roll. Shun dodged one attack after another. By now, the hospital room was completely thrashed.

"AGH!" Shun yelled in pain. He had jumped up to avoid getting hit by one of the blades, but had been caught off guard by a slash from the other blade. He dodged it in midair, but had landed wrong as a result and twisted his ankle. He looked up and saw his mother approaching him, brandishing the two blades. He pushed himself up, but stumbled and fell when his injured ankle gave out from under him. Shun slid backwards, eyes wide with fear, trying to put as much distance between his mother and himself as humanly possible.

He looked behind himself in shock when his back hit a wall. He was trapped. There was nowhere he could go now, and his mother was steadily approaching. Shun wanted to scream for help, but fear had muted his voice, and his mouth moved silently.

Clatter.

The sound of something rolling on the hospital floor drew Shun's attention. A small green sphere rolled to a stop in front of him. A bakugan. The bakugan that his mother had given him that very day. He hadn't noticed that he'd dropped it.

His mother came nearer and nearer. Shun was paralyzed with fear, his mind was blank… Shun closed his eyes, preparing for the worst, when… it stopped. Shun opened his eyes, only to close it again when he was nearly blinded by the green light emitting from the bakugan.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a green phoenix in front of him, with green flames burning around it. "What…how? The bakugan… but the field isn't…isn't…" His mother stood in front of it, unmoving, as if it was a barrier, protecting him. He looked down when something in his pocket began glowing green as well. He fumbled in his pocket for it, and took out an ability card. He squinted, and read the words on it.

"Green Nobility Violent Wind!"

At once, a green-tinted wind began blowing in the room, surrounding his mother. The winds swirled around her, and she tensed, but before she could do anything, the mechanical body blew up, leaving behind charred, smoking pieces of metal. The bakugan returned to its ball form and bounced towards him.

Shun caught it out of reflex as he looked around the room. The man had vanished, leaving no trace of his presence behind. The hospital room was all but destroyed, but his mother's body still lay peacefully in the bed. The throbbing pain in his ankle became much more prominent now. Shun briefly wondered why no one had come despite the fact that there was a great deal of noise during the fight, but thought was forgotten when the bakugan in his hand jumped up and asked, "Are you all right?"

Shun stared at it, blinked at few times, then promptly passed out.

Special Sankyus to Rokiyam, LaLa-In-wAnDeRlAnD, Danyeda Goofy Panterita, and shinohime-chan for putting it in Favorites, putting it on Story Alert, and reviewing it.

Like I promised, Shun didn't die. I'd never have the heart to kill him, anyway.

TRIVIA TIME! The people who answer the question correctly in a review will get, well, nothing, asides from a Sankyu that you actually reviewed.

Who is Shun Kazami's english voice actor? (Honestly, this is an easy one.)

WHEN REVIEWING: NO FLAMES, PLEASE!
