Best Friend Princess

Summary: "Your highness! The saikimon is prepared for travel now!" one of the gate keepers said as he bowed towards his king. The king nodded and motioned five people to walk through. Each carried a small bundle of yellow, blue, green and purple. The last carried a bundle of red and gold. The princess.

King's Realm

Fifteen Years Before

"Your highness! The saikimon is prepared for travel now!" one of the gate keepers said as he bowed towards his king. The king nodded and motioned five people to walk through. Each carried a small bundle of yellow, green, blue and purple. The last carried a bundle of red and gold-- the princess.

The king was suspecting a rebellion within the Gotei 13 by at least two of their taicho. In the past century, so many taicho and fuku-taicho have been lost. A great war was on the horizon. By then, his three four-year-old sons (*1) and day-old daughter would have grown up strong.

Everything they would need was prepared on the other side, ready for them. They just had to pick up the gigai from an ex-taicho of the Gotei 13.

Isshin and Masaki Shiba were to raise their two-day-old son along with his four children as the princess's protector.

Mute and Rue Arisawa were to raise his daughter to take the throne when the day came. His sons understood the situation and would pretend to be normal humans despite how much they did not wish it. It was for their sister's safety. They would have to get used to not being waited on hand and foot.

Youno Fong was to continue teaching his sons hand-to-hand combat and begin teaching the Shiba boy once he reaches the age of four.

Their houses were already bought and paid for. They were placed as closely as possible, should there be any trouble.

The Shiba's were to take on the mother's name, so as to not attract attention. The Arisawa's were already an unknown family name and, apparently, Fong was quite a common name in the living world(*2).

Watching his children and most trusted guards walk through and disappear in the blinding white light, the Spirit King sighed and slowly walked back to his quarters where his wife was waiting, already mourning the loss of her babies.

"Have they left?" was the first thing he heard as he stepped into the room.

"Yes, they took Ryuu, Ryuuken, Ryuujin(*3) and Tatsuki," was all that was said. Neither wanted to talk about what happened to their children. Their daughter was just born; they barely had time to name her before she was scooped up and prepared for her leave for the World of the Living. All they could do for them was done and they can only hope that they aren't killed. Who knows what kind of dangers were in that world?

Karakura Town

1:45 PM

"Wow," so this is the Real World. The ten souls were now standing in front of a run down shop with big letters written on a board across the roof, 'Urahara Shoten.'

Wincing, Masaki whispered, hugging her son closer to her, "I hope our new homes won't be so run down."

A half hour later, they all got their gigai and maps to their new homes. They had just decided who got which house when a couple of hollows appeared and headed towards them. The two Arisawa's left to take care of them but only one came back.

Mute Arisawa had been eaten by the hollows…

Later on, Rue took Ryuuken in her left hand, Ryuujin in her right and Ryuu held Ryuujin's hand carrying Tatsuki's sleeping form on his back. Suddenly, a dump truck drove off its lane and headed towards the five of them. Not knowing what to do, they didn't move and in five seconds, Rue died, taking Ryuuken and Ryuujin with her (*4). Ryuu and Tatsuki, though, only received a few scratches. The few bruises that Tatsuki received were enough to wake her from her slumber and to begin a loud wail which alerted a near by house owner to the scene.

In ten minutes, the paramedics arrived and took the three dead bodies and brought Ryuu and Tatsuki to an adoption centre. Another ten minutes passed and the Kurosaki's, formally Shiba, came and brought them both home, claiming to be their aunt and uncle.

So that's how their first day ended. With four deaths and two near deaths. However, that would not be the last they would know of. With the birth of Karin and Yuzu, followed the death of Youno Fong and the life changing death of Masaki Kurosaki.

WAWAWA333: I am starting another story because I'm having writer's block for Best Friend Dragon. So until I think of something, I'll be working on this. And trust me; it'll take about a month or two…

(*1): Ryuu, Ryuuken and Ryuujin are triplets and are actually ten years old.

(*2): It's true. I know quite a few people with the name Fong.

(*3): Ryuujin is the eldest (Grimmjow), Ryuu is the second child (My Oc) and Ryuuken is the youngest of the triplets (Ulquiorra)

(*4): The blow only damaged the gigai and cut where the soul chain is. You'll see them again, just not now.
