A/N: I'm a little embarrassed to post this story. Not because it's a bad story, or because I don't like the couple, but because it's a crossover, and I don't usually care for crossovers, and also I rp as Tatsuki on FB, and this is the story about how my Tatsuki and my rp husband Trunks, met. This actually happened in rp between the two of us, and I put it into fanfic mode. Hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I had rping it.


Trunks loved to fly. He's done it whenever he could after his master, Gohan, taught him how. He was in the past, (it was to him anyways) to visit his Z Fighter friends. Who, in his time, were all dead. He was almost to Master Roshi's place when he felt a strong energy.

He stopped in wonder since it was very strong for a human, even if it wasn't much compared to a Saiyan. He wondered who could be producing such strong energy for a human so he went to check it out.

He flew a little high so he wouldn't attract a lot of attention, but he soon came upon a small city; too big to be a town, but not an oversized city. He jumped from rooftop to rooftop, he could feel the energy getting nearer and nearer, and finally he felt where it was coming from; but not who.

There were a group of guys in an alley way fighting in a brawl. It seemed to be against either one person, or a small group, but he couldn't tell at the moment. He decided to observe for now, see where the fight goes. If it looked like they needed some help, he'll help them.

All of a sudden several people in one area are kicked to the ground and he could see who was in the center, and he was appalled. It was a girl! All these guys fighting a girl? Sure, girls can be strong fighters, Videl being obvious proof of that, but this was a totally unfair fight.

He jumped down and landed in front of her. Everyone paused in shock at a new person entering the fight.

"What are you guys doing? Fighting a girl, and at such odds? You should be ashamed of yourselves. If you need a gang to fight one person, how about fighting me?" Trunks took off his jacket and lowered himself slightly into his fighting stance. With his jacket off the guys could see how muscular he was, they looked at each other for a few seconds then grinned as one of the guys stepped forward pulling his shirt sleeve up showing his bicep.

Trunks smirked a little, sure he had decent muscles, but his power level was low, nothing compared to the energy he felt earlier. Then he felt someone try and kick his knee from behind, but his knee held and he looked behind him to see who would do such a cheap shot. He was surprised to see that it was the girl. She was standing behind him with an angry look on her face, very angry.

"What do you think you're doing? I'm teaching these jerks a lesson. Back off."

He stared at her a little surprised at her attitude, but then one of the guys tried to grab her from behind, and she grabbed his wrist and using his forward momentum flipped him over her hip and he landed on his back, winded. Then another guy kicked at Trunks' abs and he grabbed the guy's leg.

"If you think I'm going to leave one person, especially a girl, to fight alone against this mob, you're got another thing coming."

"I don't need anyone's help. Least of all some guy I don't even know who might try and jump me after the fight when I'm all worn out."

"I wouldn't do that to anyone, and if you were worn out from fighting these weaklings, you aren't much of a fighter."

"What? Take that back!"

They carried on arguing while they were fighting the gang. And even though he was arguing with the girl, Trunks could tell that she was a very capable fighter, especially for her age. She only looked about 17 or so, possibly 18, but he didn't think so.

After they were done, she was panting a little with a smug look on her face. "Now you guys know who you face if you ever bother innocent people again, especially any of my friends."

He looked at her and grinned, and she grinned back. Then she seemed to catch herself and looked away. "Told you I didn't need any help."

"I never said you did," he walked over to where he left his jacket and picked it up from the ground. He dusted it off some, then put it on.


Tatsuki watched the guy wearily as he went to retrieve his jacket. She still wasn't sure she could trust him. The way he moved showed he was a fighter, and a very good one too since she didn't take him down with her kick, and she didn't see a single scratch on him as a result of the fight either, though his short lavender hair was a little disheveled, which he fixed by running his fingers through his hair from his forehead to the back of his head.

"If you didn't think I needed any help, then why did you."

"At first glance, I couldn't see you were a fighter. I just figured it was a bunch of guys trying to take advantage of a girl. But I would help someone with those odds against them. Whether they needed it or not. It goes against my pride as a fighter to not do that."

Tatsuki stared at him for a while, then caught herself and turned away. "Hmph, I see," she started to walk away.

That was odd, he seemed to have the same kind of view that she had. It's rather a rare view to find really.

She started walking away, "Well thanks, even if I didn't need it." What an odd guy, but then she'll probably never see him again. At least that is what she thought till she heard his footsteps running after her.

"Hey, mind if I walk with you for a while?"

She looked at him, wondering if he's trying to walk her home. "Why?"

"Just to talk, there aren't many girl fighters with your skill."

Ok, she could handle that reason, "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

"How long have you been training?"

"Since I was 4, and you?"

"Since even before that. I was kinda forced to."

She looked at him, he sounded a little depressed and angry about that reply. "Why?"

"Oh, various reasons," he looked into the sky, seeming to be fascinated by the clouds that hung lazily there.

Obviously there was a painful story there, she wondered what it was, but she never was the type to pry into someone's painful past.

"I see, so who trained you?"

"My master Gohan. He trained me until a few years ago, then I trained myself."

"It's hard to train yourself."

"Tell me about it."

They continued to talk about martial arts and training as they walked. She didn't really have anywhere to go today, she had expected her fight with the gang to last longer, so she didn't make any plans. So she wasn't sure on what to do. But she enjoyed this conversation. She didn't really get any kind of chance to really talk martial arts with someone. To them, martial arts was just a hobby, or a way to defend themselves, or even a way to bully. To her, it was her life. It was her dream to be a vale tudo master, and she worked hard to achieve it.


This girl was amazing. He had never met another girl who just wanted to be a martial artist. It seemed she did almost nothing else. He was glad he sensed her power and came here. It's true that he really shouldn't interact with people in the past much, but maybe he could visit her whenever he came to visit his other friends.

He was thinking this when a strange screech like scream came from the sky, and a high pressure forced down a little afterwards. It didn't faze him all that much, but the girl staggered just a tiny bit then stared into the sky off to the left.

"Ah damn!" She started running in that direction, what was she doing? And what was that?

"Hey!" he started running after her, quickly catching up. "What is it?"

"Nothing, I have to go now." He paused, stunned. Huh? What was going on? He then chased after her, but stayed behind her

They soon came to what looked to be the town square and he saw an enormous white monster with a white mask, and hole in its chest. "What is that thing?"

Tatsuki looked at him with surprise written all over her face. "You can see it?"

"Of course I can, why wouldn't I?" But now that he looked around, no one seemed to be reacting to it. That is until it tried to snatch at something and hit a building in the process. People started screaming as they seemed to try and figure out what happened. What was going on, why couldn't anyone else see it?

"Everybody run," he turned towards Tatsuki; she was trying to get people out of the area. He expected her to go and fight the monster, but she never did. He could hear her muttering under her breath, "Never a shinigami around when you need one. Where is that damn strawberry?"

Strawberry? How would a strawberry help? Whatever "C'mon girl, let's take it down."

"No, there is nothing we can do about it. Ordinary people like us can't take a hollow. The best we can do is just try and protect everyone else." As she said it he could hear a slightly bitter tone to her voice.

Well, maybe she couldn't do anything about the thing, but he could. He started running towards it and he could hear her yell at him to stop him but he ignored her. By this time the area was mostly deserted so he felt ok in using his abilities against it. He kicked at it full force and it went flying against a building. Oops, he really should be careful of the town.

The monster, the girl had called it a hollow, spoke. "Hey, what do you think you think you're doing? I'm going to kill you for that." It swiped at him and he just held up his arm and blocked it without it even budging from the blow. He glared at the hollow as it grunted in surprise. The thing didn't seem to show emotion on its face.

"No, the only thing dying here today is you." He built up some of his ki in his hand and formed an energy ball. When it was built up sufficiently, he smashed the ball into its mask, which ended up covering it's entire body, with a yell. After the energy from the hit dissipated, the hollow was disintegrating. Now that was different, is that what always happened?

He sighed and turned towards the girl, who was gaping at him in shock.


A?/N: Sorry that the fight at the end was rather lame, but it is a low level hollow so not much of a challenge for Trunks, but was enough to surprise Tatsuki. And to those who follow my fanfics, don't worry. I am going to complete all my other fanfics

Read and Review please, I would like to hear what you guys think.
