I do not own Bleach nor there characters. Same goes for the How t do not own Bleach nor there characters. Same goes for the How to train your dragon dragons.

I only own this story, Koikie, and Kiki. As well as some dragons I made for this story.

Words in itallics are Ogichi's thoughts.

(aaauugg! *sarcasm* waaah waaah waaah! *sarcasm* bleehh! THAT'S ALL I HEARD AT THE END OF THE LAST CHAPTER! Then again though, she is still young so I had to. X3

p.s. Sorry for the mis spells and weird wording. My compurter seems to have a tendancy to auto correct and re word as well as delete the wrong things... it's why this is so late.. I need to get the key board checked. There some how typeing the wrong letters. Like if its flipped backwards and i'm typing sideways at the same time.)


Waking up from hearing her name being called she turns over. Cuddling this scaly pillow that was warm yet cool against her skin. Turning to the side she smiles from hearing the pur of a dragon. Puzzling as that was, she grew more curious in her daze as for when she went home. Pushing it to the debths of her mind she smiles to her self for the intense comfort she feels right now. Nestling closer to the warm moving form and hiding her head from the sunlight, her smile widens at just how safe and secure she feels. Stroking the scales on her pillow causing the pur to grow in volume but soften in tone. Her name being called being the only thing agitating her out of slumber. 'Ichigo's a dang loud mouth!' Tossing again then nestling her head deeper under her pillow she tries to go back to sleep.

'Didn't I go out last night?'

Her mind still lazily pondering that thought. Dancing around the prospects and glazing over last nights cuddle time. Which was really more her chasing the dragon for her stuff and squeeking away from him nipping and lazily licking her hair. That in it self fastly becoming a favoring past time of his. The remembrance of such making her kneed a thumb massaging her pillow subconsciously. Slowly recalling how much she confided in the dragon and how a big weight seemed to have been thrown off her chest from dosing so. Startling her self briefly out of slumber at how much she told him. More then she even told her scales. Snuggling closer to the comforting form and lulling to bed by the beautiful rythmatic song being the heart pulsating in her pillow. Playing its soothing beat against her ear and pillow curling, slightly carresing her body to curl more inward...on her bed... with her large pillow... Her ... moving pillow... with a now... slowly raising heart beat...that pillow... That is now growling in agitation?

'oh no..'

Shooting up she recalls last nights events. The words Kisuke spoke to her, her not finishing her chores! Not making Yoruichi's dinner, not going home, NOT LETTING ANY ONE KNOW SHE EVEN LEFT THE VILLAGE! AT NIGHT! Everything whipping at her and each second she recalls more, the harder the waves hit. Breath hitching in her throat and her 'bed' moving out from under she scurries to her feet. The dragon getting up groggily and stumbling slightly which would usually make her giggle but at there current situation only creating more panic in the pit of her stomach. Ichigo's voice growing in volume adding to both her panic and Ogichi's agitation.

Giving a quick concerned sniff to her his eyes narrow as he glares at the tree's if not through them some how. Smelling her rising panic as the voice draws near he stars to growl.

A small curl is all she could make out from his mask. Giving her a mental image of him grinning. Although impossible its how it looks, but hearing the rider grow closer she realizes that this confrontation won't be a fortunate one. Ichigo was always protective over her since he saved her but from getting into so much trouble a numerous amount of times and same vice versa. She not being to popular with the village kids and there past sport of caging her like a rabbid dragon giving him one of the many reasons to be over protective. Ogichi being a wild dragon, no less an unknown what-could-be-vasto-lorde-hollow-dragon would not be a pleasing sight to behold. He's not her dragon after all.

Looking up at Ogichi and seeing his ears fold and him self crouch into a prowl she hurriedly ran in front of him.

"Shirosaki no! Don't! H-he's a friend! One of MY friends! please don't!"

Giving a low growl of displeasure he side steps to try and go around her. Attempting to move her with his snout only for Koikie to run in front of him again, arms held out.

"Shiro please.. Understand.. I don't have a dragon of my own to protect me."

Hearing that he froze. Head slight bent downwards casting a shadow over his eyes. Seeming expressionless.

"My friend that's coming will see yo threat. Your kind is unknown to our village as it is and I went missing last night to them... I don't want you to get hurt nor him.. "

Snorting abruptly, He glares at her. A look which she couldn't place, unsure if it was anger or confusion, she still stood her ground. Arms held out.

"To them i'm defenseless Shiro.. "

Ogichi still staring with the same look, only kneeling his head closer to her and flexing his wings quickly as if emphasizing something waits for her to move.

Watching her try to shoo him off only made him smirk at the thought of her trying to protect him. Adjusting himself to stand on all fours, he waits for the riders to come forth.

Koikie doesnt know what to do. The dragon wont move! Yeah he mellowed out and doesnt look like he's going to attack them but who knows for sure!


*self conversation*

'He HAS been listening to you latley. You should trust him now. Or at least some faith.' ...

' i do trust him. I just dont want either side to get hurt! And i dont know if he trusts me.. he iS a wild dragon'

'wild or not he has had the oppurtunity to kill you several times but he's shown no interest in such. And so have you! He even placed u near his weakest point.. his throat below his mask. '

'...'

*end*


To late to run now as she heard the foot steps already nearing. Walking into the forest and unknowingly being followed by Ogichi from the shadows, she nears the point were u can hardly see the sandy shores from the tree's and grass. Ogichi camouflaged in the shadows as his scales pick up the tree's colors like some type of retracting color trap. Almost as if he was see through like glass. Watching as the rider nears, head down in the shadows.

"KOIKIE! THERE YOU ARE!"

Seing Ichigo ride up to her then Zangetsu her mind went blank. Absentmindedly she waves and smiles nervously.

"Haha yeaaahh here I am! Whats up guys?"

Ichigo just sputters and brings his dragon closer.

"Whats up? WHATS UP?! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?! THE WHOLE DAM VILLAGE IS LOOKING FOR YOU!"

Scratching the back of her head nervously she just smiles again. "Well I um... I accidentally took a nap... out here..."

. . .

The pause made her rethink coming out of the forest and wonder how to run away or hide in it.

"YOU WHAT?! "

Backing up slightly and raising her hands in defense she continues with her nervous smile.

"N-now Ichigo, it happens! You know me! I can be a tad of an air head a-and-"

"No! Being air headed doesnt mean you sleep out in the middle of the forest! NO! BEING AIR HEADED DOESNT MEAN YOU RUN OFF AT NIGHT AND NOT TELL ANYONE WERE YOU WENT! YOU DON'T DO THAT KOIKIE!"

"I-Ichi. Listen-"

But before she could continue he had ZanZan Jumps in front of her causing her to shrink back a little.

"No YOU listen! WERE GOING HOME! "

As he made a grab for her hand to haul her on his dragon they hear several trees snapping and a loud ear splitting roar. Before Ichigo could realize what's going on he hears Zangetsu shout , "ICHIGO"

One swift swipe and Ichigo is flung off ZanZan and crashing into the nearest tree, it being on a short 2 ft behind him. A splitting head ache erupts as well as intense back pain he tries to comprehend what just happened. Zanzan skids back and calls to his rider.

Zangetsu hurrys and tries to have his dragon run to get koikie but black flames suddenly erupt in front of him. Burning only the path ahead to her. Eyes widening at the sight both dragon and young rider look to see a large white dragon with a black mask hovering over Koikie. Baring his claws at them both and giving a warrning growl to them both. Backing his dragon up and glancing an concerned look Ichigo's way he starts pulling the reighns to have them back up.

"Get back on ZanZan idiot!"

"aauugghh! YOU STUPID DRAGON! "

But before Ichigo could climb back on ZanZan and have him charge forward Zangetsu waves his hand in front of him to hault.

Giving a bewilderd look as he hears Koikie shouting at the dragon,watching the

beast hovering closer he tries to have ZanZan charge again but is confronted with Zangetsu.

"Wait ichigo! Look at that mask! ... its... him.."


On the other side of the fire Koikie is waving up at the dragon. Calling out for him to calm down. Reapeating that they won't hurt him and to not hurt them. Trying to sooth his scales down by petting the ones she's near. Reaching up for him to lower his head so she can pet him there and hopefully calm him down.

As the small group stood there wondering what move to do next, another set of eyes watched what went on from above. The black flames attracted a certain Keeper. At first it was from alarm due to the color of the rising heat and the flames intensity fitting the description of the ones that caused the fall of there sister village. Until further analysis that they were instead controlled and not spreading wildly like the sister villages attackers flames.

Seing Ichigo being thrown off his dragon and Zangetsu blocked off from saving Koikie normally should make the Keeper if not any rider rush in. But the way the dragon leans over her, how he just didn't end the 2 by sticking with his claws instead of the back of his paw stunned him.

'He's protecting her!... but why?!'

Watching closer he see's that the dragon is being coaxed by Koikie and even soothed. Even to go as far as expose his throat to push her back. She is even able to stroke his mask with out him so much as snapping or growling a warning at her. How it seems she could even brush her fingers partly under her mask with only getting a small flinch in return.

'But his patience is growing thin for the boys.. '

Ichigo and Zangetsu rear there Nadder's simultaneously back. Readying them to pounce.

'No no no... if they pounce he'll kill there dragons this time... '

Pressing his heals into his dragoneses hide she listens to the gesture and swoops down in front of them. Earning a low growl and more flames circling and growing in nights around Koikie and the wild hollow.

"Elo boys! "

Both Zangetsu and Ichigo maneuver around the Keeper to face the dragon yet again. Nodding as a 'hello' to the keeper.

"I wouldn't do that. He held back and still IS holding back. You jump this time and he will kill you."

Recieving a scoff from Ichigo and a quizzical look from Zangetsu, Kisuke listens to his orange haired pupil.

"Were trying to protect her Kisuke! Shouldn't you try that? Or did you realy mean what you said last night?"

Lowering his head to shadow his face Kisuke speaks in a steady, controlled tone.

"You know as much as i do that I didn't.. I spoke out of anger that was not meant for her... "

ZanZan and Tensa move side to side in agitation as they're ready and waiting for the command to attack.

" but i'm serious when I say to stand down. He'll do what ever it takes to protect her. But right now he doesn't want to harm her by killing you and your dragons. "

Ichigo still doubting that grows activated by the whole topic. "Realy? That DEVIL is trying to protect something let alone a human?! You and I both know that HE especially isn't able to do that!"

"Aaahh but thats just your assumption Death berry! " giving ichigo a comical wave with his fan he waits for the next remark.

"Its not an assumption!"

"Oh? Then what's going on with him? Why did he use the back of his paw?"

Before ichigo could give an answer the Keeper continues.

"And why are the flames controlled? And why is he hovering over her instead of eating her? Hmmmm? She's at his throat LITTERALY and he is just nestling her closer to it rather then away. He IS protecting her! Just look. "

Reluctantly turn in to face the burning black flames. Looking between the roaring flames he catches a sliver of the two. Ogichi's head low but not in a full stance. Leaning closer he see's that his masked snout is being pet. In from of his closed masked jaws is Koikie holding his snout and head resting atop it. 'He... actually looks... No.. I need a better look'. Gently whipping the ropes on ZanZan he leans forward signaling for ZanZan to do the same. Cautiously he heads his riders request and takes a step closer. Peering closer the flames slightly block his view. Having ZanZan draw closer he notices he wasn't imagining what he saw. The flames even seem to lower in temperature. Finally he was able to look through again but this time Ogichi glared back and started to growl again. The flames spike back up to there original height and temperature. They even start to darken and bristle. But before he backed up he see's something that shocked him. As Ogichi started braiding his real teeth and rise up, Koikie held on to his snout and started to talk to him.

"Its ok. He isn't going to hurt us shiro. I'm ok see? Look were not being attacked. C'mon shiro. Please? Can you calm down? Your ok, I'm ok"

She started stroking his mask again and petting between the begining of it and neck when the dragon gave her a concerned look and slightly nudged a bit closer to her as if to reassure him self that she is ok. Ears still pointed to the flames were Ichigo, Zangetsu, Kisuke and there dragons stood.

Backing off back to the group Ichigo didn't know what to make of it.

"Mmmmhmmmmm you see?" Kisuke continues another comical wave of his fan.

"So what do we do now?" Zangetsu speaks finally. Blue eyes giving his usual blank stare to Kisuke. "If we try and take her he'll just attack us."

Giving it some thought the keeper just snaps his fingers and has Neko spread her wings so the flames blow back Koikie and Ogichi. Ichigo and Zangetsu watch as the flames quickly die down to reveal koikie beside and slightly under ogichi. Patting his neck as he seems to grin at the group waiting. Tail eagerly swaying side to side but scales no longer bristling. In fact seem to be flatter and slightly more relaxed.

"Koikie. I'm sorry for yesterday. I just had a realy bad day and accidentally took it out on you. You can go back to training hatching sitting just we need to go. You still need that dragon egg though.."

At that she glanced down and smiled sadly to her self but nodds in agreement.

"You can pay me back when we get home. We can talk then okay? And don't worry. We won't hurt him or say a word about him k?"

With that the Ichigo and Zangetsu both looked at Kisuke surprised but remains silent when he held his hand to wait.

Koikie looking up at Ogichi, smiles and tiptoes to pat his shoulder. Giving a smile she starts to walk to the flames bordering them.

They part for her then vanish as she steps over them. The dragon looking confused snorts at her for an answer.

"Sorry shiro... but he's right.. I need to find a dragon. "

Ogichi snorts again and stomps a paw on the ground lightly with a small spread of his wings as if emphasizing something yet again. The sight warming koikie heart but unknowingly to then causing Kisuke to smile.

"Silly, oh! No weird sorry Mr. Cool awesome dragon"

Ogichi rolling his eyes and grinning under his mask waits for an explanation.

"I mean one for me to ride. A partner, your a wild dragon. And I know you don't wanna be "tamed" "

Recieving a quizzical look from Ogichi kisuke intervenes this time.

"She needs a partner dragon. One who will protect her and who she will protect. But not just a guardian but a ally. One to trust and ride. But most importantly one to befriend. Shes been looking for a dragon who shares a bond with her. One thats unlike any other. One were you feel trust, loyalty, compassion, and something else thats hard to describe that comes from here" as kisuke places a hand over his heart the dragon stands up fully wings spread as if he is going to fly off.

"Its hard to describe but... that bond is a connection. Were you feel safe with that friend yet anxious for them. Happy and relaxed yet protective and on alert. I'm just explaining what me and Neko have here realy. But thats the gist of a bond." Kisuke petits Neko and she purs and tilts her he's to look p at him as if smiling, ZanZan chirping happily to ichigo as he scratches his head, Tensa shuddering his scales happily as Zangetsu patts his neck. "Its different for everyone but all the same in the end. Well, c'mon koikie, lets get you a dragon"

As the group turns and koikie waves follows sadly.

"Bye shiro. I gotta walk home."

As she waved, Ogichi again gave a slight roar with the spread of his wings and stomped his paw down on the ground. Koikie just giggled to her self but continued to walk.


Halfway home the group ride there dragons and have them jump the now broken bridge were the water fall is.

"Hey guys wait! You forgot about me!"

The guys turn around and laugh a little not being used to a dragoneses rider. Zangetsu deciding to turn his dragon to get Koikie ready Tensa to jump. Before the leap though a flash of white swooped down and took Koikie with it. A small yell was heard as her voice faded and the group stood shocked and dumbfounded as for what just happened looking at the drop. Kisuke just laughing it off as the boys start to panic and have there dragons jump. But before they even made it 2 inches off the ground the flash of white swooped out along with a screaming Koikie who sounds terrified yet jubilant all the same.

"Well i'll be dammed. She actually tamed him. Hah! Wait for me koikie!"

Zangetsu whips his ropes and off goes Tensa flying to the two.

"Ay! Wait for me!" Ichigo doing the same to ZanZan has him fly up to meet them.

"S-SHIRO WAIT! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EVEN MOUNT YOU LET ALONE RIDE YOU!" koikie squeaks as she holds on to Ogichi long mane as leads. The guys and even tbe dragon chuckle at hearing such fkr some reason. The boys snickering about something.

With a quick shift of his wings she sits comfortably on the hinges were his wings meet his back. Flying around in the sky was so amazing, after the dragon leveled out it was smoother then walking. Like if he was just walking on air! And occasionally he did!

"Alright koikie! Every dragon has a different steering pattern! Find his! "

With a nod she patts ogichi's neck and trays moving with his body. Feeling the winds and how his muscles flex when he turns and flaps or makes any move. How he leans and when he 'walks' on air. How he uses his tail to level out and not steer. Leaning slightly to the right and using her legs to stay still yet guide him were to go she hopes it works. Slowly he turns to the right. She levels out and so does he. Lifting her legs some how instinctual when he needs 'to walk' to keep the momentum.

"Thats it nice and slow." Zangetsu coaxed from a good distance away.

Closing her eyes she leans closer against him. Earning a pleased growl for some reason and suddenly he dives.

"WAIT KOIKIE! NO PAY ATTENTION!" Ichigo shouts as he dives after her. Oh to be stopped by Kisuke.

"No lets see how she fairs"

"But she!" Ichigo shouts but Kisuke continues

"Just watch"

Exhaling and feeling the wind flowing through her hair she pivots one foot up and one foot down. Holding on tight and feeling Ogichi start to shift and move his wings in the same angle as her feet. Causing them to spin as they continue to dive he's first to the Forrest. Leveling out before hitting the tree's the shoot strait above it.

As she opens her eyes she looks confident. Knowing this feeling some how. As if flight was instinctual.

Boots pivot up, so does shiro. Tightening her. Grip with her thighs and grabbing more of his mane she prepares for a dive into the Forrest. He swooped down and starts maneuvering through the trees, does a barrel roll avoid some, diving deeper in he goes on all fours as his claws touch the ground. With a click of her heels on his hide he runs faster. She continues to guide him through and he follows. Tilting his head to look back at her she sees the same look as before. Like he was grinning. Just this time it was different. It feel different. It was happier. She smiled back as she kept her eyes on the road ahead and remember the Cliffside having went around the village through the forrest already in so little time.

'Geez now I know why they think I'm so slow!'

Pressing her legs closer against him she has ogichi jump off the cliff and take off on the sea breeze. With a squee of joy she has him fly up. "C'mon Shiro! C'mon! ! Go Shirosaki go!"

Higher and higher they went. Over the morning overcast and into the suns golden rays. Gliding over the sun kissed clouds she watched as the lights danced around. The blues and reds of sunrise in full swoop. Chuckling to her self she leaned to her left and he swooped to his side just as she asked. Spiraling sideways and creating swirls in the clouds was astonishing! The sudden cold was surprising and how the clouds started to part afterwards rewarding.

Smiling up at the blue above she opened out her arms to enjoy the breeze. Giving a smile for how good the wind feels, Ogichi roaring as if in laughter at her amusement.
