Best Friend Dragon
Summary: Once, 2 thousand years ago, an egg, a whole foot long, cracked. And out of the cracks came a crying new born baby girl. The loud cries reached the ears of a middle aged farmer. And that, my friends, is where our story begins.

Hueco Mundo
Five Minutes Later
"So this is Hueco Mundo, huh," Tatsuki said looking around.
They had just landed in Hueco Mundo and were taking in their surroundings.
"A thousand yen (*1) says we're going to that large palace thing there," Zaraki Kenpachi said before darting towards Las Noches. Everyone else following, and passing him (*2).
About two hours later, they reached the large hollow palace. The sheer size of the building made it seem so much closer. Finding the hole Ichigo and Renji made in the side of the building and sweat dropping at the waste of reiatsu just to get through the weakest defensive system.
Walking through the hole, they eventually found it separated into five passageways. Tatsuki, Keigo and Mizuiro all stuck together and followed Kenpachi and the little pink haired girl on his back.
Evidently, they ran into Ichigo fighting some spoon-headed Espada, judging by the amount of reiatsu he had. And as expected, Kenpachi ran in to take over the fight while Tatsuki, Mizuiro, and Keigo, of whom Yachiru was now riding on, rushed over to their friend to take care of his wounds.
"Ichigo! Are you okay?" Tatsuki called out, worried. Instead of answering the question he answered with a question of his own.
"Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro! What are you doing here?" how he recognized Tatsuki, we will never know.
Before they could answer, they heard a shrill voice cry, "Kurosaki-kun!!!"
Turning to the voice, they found Orihime running towards them followed by a green arrancar version of Yachiru on her heels.
"Orihime," Tatsuki whispered spotting her middle school friend. She was alright, she was okay, she's not hurt; she worried for nothing! As relief washed over her, she didn't realize her friend was eyeing her like she was carrying a fatal disease.
Her relief spread into her conscience mind, she didn't notice the reiatsu coming from the Espada and the taicho, when Orihime started healing Ichigo, when Mizuiro summoned a shield (*3), when she kneeled next to Ichigo, when the little green arrancar entered the fight and double-teamed the Espada, when the fight ended, nothing; ironically enough, she did notice the supposedly dead sexta Espada eyeing her from the ground a few dozen yards away from her. And for some reason, she let herself relax more under his gaze.
'Why am I relaxing? We're in the middle of a war! But, I feel like he should have been there my whole life, but I don't even know him as an ally or enemy. Why am I feeling like this?' Confusing thoughts along these lines kept running through the small dragon's head as the battle rages on.
M-Maybe I do know him, maybe I just forgot…
Flashback
"Congratulations, it's a girl!" a nurse holding a baby said to a black haired, flushed woman holding a man's hand. Handing the quiet babe over to the mother, she walked out of the room to retrieve the brother of the small girl. The oddly blue haired boy ran over to his mother and new sister.
"Mother, Father, what's her name?" the four year old boy asked his sweating mother and father.
"Tatsuki," his mother said firmly spying a dragon shaped birthmark on her new baby's left wrist (*4).
"Tatsuki? Why Tatsuki?" the young boy's father asked. His wife didn't answer his question, only pointed at the sleeping babe's tiny wrist.
Now only the little boy didn't understand, but he figured he'd find out when he was older.
A few hours later, the mother of a beautiful baby girl and a strong little four year old warrior were asleep in the back seat of her husband's mini van holding her newest treasure next to her son.
Honk! Honk!
A dump truck blew as they rounded the corner. Apparently it was hijacked and driving in their lane. Time seemed to slow down as the mini van crashed in to the big dump truck.
Ten minutes later, the paramedics arrived, ten minutes after that, they announced that the brother was dead; the father in a coma and the mother's broken arms and legs. Miraculously, the baby girl wasn't hurt in the least and still asleep.

WAWAWA333: This is my fastest update yet. Hopefully, I'll be able to update within the next week. Don't count on it though.
(*1): About ten dollars.
(*2): Remember, Kenpachi stinks at reiatsu control and can't shunpo.
(*3): Creating shields and barriers are Mizuiro's only power.
(*4): It's the wrist that always has a sweatband over it in the anime.
