Summary: There's a reason why Shun can't have candy.

The Chocolate Bunny Incident:

By: Rekkanotara

It was a beautiful sunny day and the knights were taking full advantage of it. Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, Ikki, and Shun were spending the day at the orphanage where Seiya had lived before, giving the kids there a well deserved break from their current situations. Easter was drawing nearer each day and the candy for the kids was also growing in quantity.

Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, and Ikki were enthralled in a major game of soccer. Shun didn't like to rough house as much so he stayed off to the side. He cheered his friends on as the wind blew unruly green locks of hair into his eyes. The young knight held an angelic and youthful quality to him and every time he smiled his entire face brightened and his deep green eyes shined with a light all their own. Little did Andromeda know that there was a group of several small fans of the green haired beauty standing behind the bronze knight. A group of about five of the most adorable little girls within the orphanage dressed in frilly purple, yellow, and pink dresses and curly hair that always looked cute on them no matter how messy their hair got.

Shun didn't notice his little fan club until he heard a few little girlish giggles behind him. Turning around, he noticed the girls that had their sights on the single knight. Blushing slightly at having even more girls staring at him, Shun kneeled down to get at eye level with the girls. He then spoke to the girls with a kind hearted tone, "Well, what are five cute girls like yourself doing over here? You should be having fun with the others."

This earned him several pairs of tiny cheeks blushing in unison. One of the girls that had a pink dress on to go with her curly brown hair seemed to be the leader of the group and stepped forward clutching a chocolate Easter bunny in her hands.

The little girl, now about a couple of feet away from him, held out her hands extending the large chocolate bunny to the young knight and spoke in a timid, unsteady voice, "M-Mister Shewn... This is an Easder pwesent for you."

Shun looked at the girl's bright blue eyes and said, "Oh that's very kind of you but I don't know if I should be taking this from you. You see my brother Ikki over there never let's me have chocolate. He says it's too sweet and bad for you." Eying the girl's drooping stare, he finally spoke up again, "But I don't think he'd have a problem with it if I tell him about the absolutely cute girl who gave it to me." Winking as he took the tasty looking chunk of chocolate and hid it in his nap sack. All the girls' cheeks turned a deeper red color and they all ran off giggling at such a high pitched tone that the other knights couldn't help but check out what was going on.

Hyoga was the first to arrive besides Shun and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder panting slightly out of breath from their soccer game, "Dude, do you have to make the ladies swarm every time we go somewhere?"

As the rest of the gang approached; they couldn't hold back their laughter at Hyoga's question. They knew Shun, the knight of Andromeda, was easily too cute for his own good and too young to know what to do with such looks.

The sky began to darken as it had gotten late; a fact that had slipped Shun's mind as he was talking to his mini fan club. Finding the laughter of his friends at his expense, Shun pouted, "And what's so funny? I was just being nice."

Ikki proceeded to pat his little brother on the back as they started walking back to the tables to clean up the decorations and candy as all the kids had gone in already; it being their bedtimes. The bronze knight of Phoenix comforted his now annoyed little brother, "It's nothing you need to worry about Shun. Now let's get this mess out of the way and get home before it gets too dark."

Each of the knights had grabbed a piece of candy off the table before throwing the rest away; whether it be a jelly bean or a piece of chocolate. That is except for Ikki and Shun; Andromeda had been wary about trying to reach for any candy around his brother as it would always result in him getting slapped upside the back of the head. Not that his brother hit him too hard or anything, just hard enough to make his point. Shun thought his brother was just being an over active health nut. But it had kept them in great shape, well that and their training as knights.

Feeling bad about upsetting the younger knight earlier, Hyoga grabbed a chocolate Easter egg filled with caramel and proceeded to approach Shun. However, Ikki was close by now to see and hear everything that was going on with Shun. In an apologetic tone, Hyoga said, "Shun man I didn't mean to upset you back there. Here, consider this a sign of how sorry I am." Now holding out the delightful sugary item, Shun began to reach for it when Ikki came up and grabbed it out of Hyoga's hand and threw it into the trash bin grumbling, "There's no time for that. We have to leave now."

Shun, feeling somewhat disheartened, simply raised his voice to his older brother, "Ikki you can be so mean sometimes."

Ikki just raised his hand slightly in response and waved off the comment as they headed back to the Kiddo mansion that belonged to the one they were trained to fight for and protect, Saori Kiddo.

Back at the mansion, Shun headed up to his room trying to stifle a yawn. It had been a long day for everyone and he needed to put away his things before going back downstairs to see what type of movie the other knights had chosen to watch. He proceeded to unpack his nap sack with ease as he didn't have much in it anyways. He pulled out a couple of books and for a last check, his hand slid over a lumpy napkin causing Shun to smile profusely and blush a little.

Meanwhile in the living room, Hyoga decided to confront Ikki on his earlier behavior towards Shun. Ikki, Hyoga, and Seiya were sitting around the tv on the couch while Shiryu decided to handle the popcorn for the movie. Hyoga turned in Ikki's direction and spat out, "Dude, what's your problem anyways? It was just a chocolate Easter egg for crying out loud. I've know you're protective of him and all but there are times when you can go too far and over react."

Seiya was a little concerned with the tone Hyoga was taking with Ikki and knew that it could end up with him having a black eye among other things and spoke up, "Hey, what's going on Hyoga??....Ikki?"

Hyoga repeated the event with the chocolate egg to Seiya who in turn stared at Ikki with a disapproving glare.

Amused somewhat, Ikki let out a deep breath and stared at the two aggravated knights beside him. In a saddened tone of voice, Ikki announced to the two boys, "I suppose I'd have to tell you guys sometime, but just remember, this stays between us. Shun is not to know about this alright?" Waiting for the dual head nod, Ikki continued, "There's a reason why I don't let Shun have candy. At a very early age, he got a hold of some chocolate and began to act hyper..."

At this point Seiya cut in, "But that's normal for all kids. You can't hold Shun back because of something like that."

Irritated at being interrupted, Ikki just continued with his story while clenching his fists slightly, "You don't understand; it wasn't a hyper spell like any other child goes through. Not by any stretch of the imagination. After eating the chocolate, Shun managed to shave every cat in the neighborhood and dye all the elderly folks' hair a neon green color all while carrying a little chihuahua in his overall chest pocket and singing It's a small world after all; over and over and over and over. The next day, he didn't seem to remember a thing and we're still trying to figure out where the chihuahua came from and that's just what we know of. Who knows what else he did that night." Finally, having his secret out in the open, Ikki breathed a sigh of relief because he knew that he wasn't going to be the only one keeping an eye on his brother from now on.

Hyoga and Seiya just stared at one another dumbfounded. Seiya piped up, "Shun did all that?

Ikki only nodded his head in response.

Hyoga was still a little shocked by this new information about the littlest knight they all thought of as being too shy and timid. "Just out of curiosity, what did Shun call the dog if he called it anything at all?" Hyoga asked.

Ikki replied, "From the time I finally caught up with him and had to take the dog away, I had heard him call the dog Mr. Jingles."

Hyoga's mouth dropped to a new level as he spoke, "Dude, one time when I was visiting my grandma at her home, she kept uttering something the whole time I was there and I remember exactly what she said...She said, 'That damn Mr. Jingles if I get my hands on that little green..&(*)+_)&.' The rest is a little jumbled because she would always hold her tongue while I was around. But she refused to talk about it with me and why she had green hair all of a sudden. Now I know...."

"Now you know what?" Shiryu questioned the swan knight as he came into the living room with a large bowl of butter popcorn and several sodas.

"You're better off not knowing." was all the three of them could say as it was just too shocking to talk about much less think about.

Shiryu just shrugged it off and placed the drinks and the popcorn on the coffee table. Somewhat disturbed by the quiet the room was now engulfed in, Shiryu broke the silence by asking the three boys, "By the way guys, where's Shun? You know he really should put that chocolate bunny he got from those girls in the fridge before it melts." He then proceeded to sit in the seat nearest to Ikki.

Panic stricken faces was all Shiryu could see from the three knights.

Ikki quickly stood up after hearing what Shiryu had just said and placed his hands firmly on the Dragon knight's shoulders; partly to keep him in place and partly to keep from falling over. Hyoga and Seiya were besides him at this point. Having Shiryu completely surrounded, Ikki spoke up in a shaky voice, "What do you mean chocolate bunny??? Are you trying to tell me that he got a hold of a chocolate bunny without my knowledge?"

Shiryu swatted at Ikki's hands and stood up to get level with his fellow knights as he responded, "Yes, that's what I said. I thought you knew. One of those little girls he was talking to gave one to him. I saw it while we were playing that soc........."

Unfortunately, Shiryu was cut short by the sounds of childish maniacal laughter coming from the top of the stairs where a wide eyed, hyped up Shun could be seen with his usual green t-shirt and white overalls but with the exception of a pair of scissors in his right hand and a tiny chihuahua in the front pocket of his overalls.

Shiryu could only get a few words out of his mouth in his shocked state from seeing Shun looking so crazed, "Guys, what's going on?"

Shun's face took on a more mischievous look as he spoke out to his fellow knights at the bottom of the stairs, "Oh Shiryu, could you come here for a second? I wanna show you something."

Shiryu found that his legs couldn't move and he simply gasped, "Guys!?!"

By now Seiya and Hyoga were gathering up the ropes holding the curtains together and Ikki was trying to push Shiryu towards the front door even though his feet were merely sliding along the wooden surface. With a slight tremble to his voice, Ikki gave Shiryu one last shove toward the door and yelled, "Run Shiryu Run!"

Alrighty that was exciting wasn't it? I just thought there needed to be more Shun fics in here and I just had to see what my mind could come up with when thinking about Shun and candy.

Does anyone know if Shun is in the Saint Seiya Hades chapters? (Sigh) I haven't been able to find any episode guides on the net and to my dismay, I haven't been able to see any of the Saint Seiya movies I keep reading about on the net. Guess I'll have to wait a few dozen years for cartoon network or the dvd people to release it if at all. Gosh darn it I want my Shun fix... Ok, back to the point; I am fairly new to the fanfic world that is posting instead of writing it all out first and am going completely off of the Knights of the Zodiac version of the show as well as other informative texts I've read on the internet. I was planning to make more Shun fanfics but I wanted to find out what all of you thought about this one.

Hope you enjoyed this story and review.
