A/N: This is my first story so don't get too angry at me. Send a review of what you think of this Naruto/Harry Potter crossover.

Shinigami

She spewed up blood from the severe blow to her abdomen. Her face was red and her jade colored eyes were bloodshot from crying as her uncle continued his tirade. She already knew that her left arm was broken and several of her ribs were cracked not to mention she was suffering internal bleeding. She closed her eyelids slowly as she felt her own existence was waning. She didn't want to die but she knew that she wasn't going to be given a choice to that. She learned at earlier in her life that life wasn't forgiving and unrelenting.

Her thoughts were pulled from her as she felt her body being dragged up two flights of stairs to the attic where her uncle had set up her personal hell and bedroom. She felt herself being lifted by her right ankle onto her bed before thick metal chains locked her wrists and legs before a gag was placed into her mouth.

She choked as she wasn't able to expel out the blood from her mouth and felt herself being pulled from her body. Previously she wouldn't have let her soul being pulled from her body but she knew that there wasn't anything left in the world to keep her in the world this time. Her last friend had moved away a week ago when Dudley threatened him with more than a broken arm and a bloody nose. She took her last breathe through her nose before opening her dead jade eyes. Jade Raven Potter died at the very young age of six years old.

Naruto woke up in the middle of the night of his birthday to still hear the festival still going on. Letting his blanket cover his head, he tried to drown out the drunken celebration of the sixth year since the Kyuubi no Kitsune had been defeated by the Yondaime Hokage. Every year was the same. He would get a present from the Sandaime Hokage and be told to stay indoors for his own protection. What the old shinobi didn't know was that regardless of Naruto was indoors in his own apartment, angered, drunken shinobi and villagers would break in and beat the kid with the looming threat of if he said anything to the Hokage, and the old man would be killed. 'Child naivety and ignorance' they all thought. This night was no different. Naruto already knew what had awoken him from his slumber was the gut feeling that this year would be like the last.

Naruto tried to keep his fear down as much as possible when he heard the front door to his apartment being busted down and the sound of several footsteps of the villagers. He already knew it was nearly impossible to hear a well trained shinobi's footsteps.

Whimpering when he heard the door to his bedroom was ripped off its hinges, the blanket to his bed was ripped off to expose a scared Naruto in his pajamas with his nightcap on. Naruto saw several Chunnin, Jounin, and villagers' all glaring or giving sadistic grins at him. Two of the villagers grabbed his arms before dragging him out into the living room where there were more room to do things to him.

First, his arms and legs were bound before a Chunnin thought about the inconvenient to the neighbors if they heard the demon screaming and stuffed Naruto's nightcap into his mouth. Next, they shoved all of his furniture into a corner. Lastly, the Jounin passed out kunai to all of the participants before giving a dark grin.

"Go wild; let's show this demon that he's not welcome here." The nameless nin said.

Naruto's eyes were wide as they began to torture him in every way known to them. He screamed through the gag as they repeatedly stabbed him in his stomach while others were starting to skin the blond boy. Blood filled the senses as they continued to go at the six year old.

At the same time of their torture, red chakra would heal his wounds. Several times, a villager would get frustrated at their ruined work and do quick and deep slashes into Naruto's chest. The Chunnin would try some of their techniques that they were learning on Naruto as well as the Jounin.

Naruto suffered through several genjutsus, ninjutsus, taijutsus, kinjutsus, and random cuttings from the villagers. Naruto knew that the red aura wasn't going to keep him alive much longer since he could already feel that the regeneration was slowing down. He tried to ignore as much pain as possible and focus on the little pain such as the broken fingers, toes, and nose instead of the severe injures such as the pressuring kunai that was being slowly pressed through his ribs, cutting through parts of his right lung, to get to his heart.

Naruto gasped one last time as he felt his heart being finally punctured. He could feel his life slowly ebbing away and getting delicately cut away from his mortal body unaware of the being that was also being dragged along with his soul to the netherworld. His cerulean blue eyes lost there glow as his soul was finally pulled completely from his body.

Jade opened her eyes to see herself in one of the most beautiful scenery that she had ever laid her eyes on. She saw luscious green grass that her aunt Petunia so hard to stride for. A calm stream of water went down towards the cliff where she could assume that a waterfall was at. She looked passed the waterfall to see a perfect picture of mountain ranges. She looked behind her to see she was lying against a large oak tree.

She then took noticed that nothing hurt from her uncle's beatings. She looked down to see that she was dressed in pearly white robes with a golden sash keeping it closed. She felt a nice warm breeze flow threw her midnight hair. She closed her eyes and had a soft smile cross her face. With that, she knew where she was. She had died.

She wasn't saddened by that but actually happy to be finally out of the horrid personal hell that was her relative's home. She really wanted to visit her parents. She personally didn't believe that her parents had gone in a car crash but had no other proof and kept that to herself. She stood up and walked towards a black marble archway only to have a bright golden light flash from where she sat earlier.

Curious, she walked towards the place where she had sat only to see a boy her age in black robes with a golden sash. His blond locks moved with the breeze. She also saw the markings across his cheeks which made her think of her own scar. She touched her forehead to feel the lightning bolt scar still there. Though not comforted by it, it was a part of her. Her aunt demanded her bangs cover it and didn't argue.

She was pulled from her memories when she heard the boy give a large sigh before opening his eyes to show his cerulean blue eyes that took her breath away. They just stared at each other for the longest time not wanting to pull their eyes away from each other. Jade then sat down onto the grass in front of the blond boy.

"I'm Jade, Jade Raven Potter." She said softly with a kind smile.

Naruto gave a true smile, "I'm Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto."

Jade couldn't help but feel like there was something tugging at her navel towards Naruto. What she didn't know was that, Naruto, too, was feeling the same thing. Both formed an unconscious connection of souls.

Neither one wanted to break the silence since there wasn't anything to say since they both knew that they had lived a hard life. They just were content with sneak glances at each other as they watched the landscape. Unconsciously, both moved towards each other to the point that they were leaning against each other. Unknowing and uncaring of what was happening to them, they felt like that it just felt right.

What seemed like an eternity, they were interrupted by two flashes. One was blood red while the other was a very dark violet. The two six year olds watched as two figures stood the place of the flashes. On the right was a two meter tall man. He had blood red hair and hawk yellow eyes. There was a smirk plastered on his face. He was wearing an icy blue kimono with yellow lightning bolts. There was a single sword in sash that both felt drawn to.

On the left, there stood a person wearing a white skeletal mask with glowing sea green eyes. The figure wore a completely black kimono with black robes on top of it. In one pale hand, there was a scroll, and the other hand, several red, rectangle pieces of paper with black writing on it.

The figure on the left, walked towards the two six year olds. Neither one was threatened or felt any danger from this being. Somehow they knew that this figure was completely neutral.

"Salutations, Jade Raven Potter and Uzumaki Naruto, I am the Shinigami of Destiny. There has been a problem concerning both of your deaths since it wasn't supposed to happen yet for either of you. Beside you two, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon, Kyuubi no Kitsune, was not yet allowed to return to his realm. For this reason, you two have been sent here, the Destiny's Calm Land, for the wait period." It paused for a second for the two of them to take in the information before Naruto's eyes went wide in realization in the part of the Kyuubi.

"NANI! What do you mean about the Kyuubi no Kitsune? The Yondaime Hokage killed it six years ago." Naruto said. Jade gave a confused look to her companion.

The Shinigami shook its head. "No, the Kyuubi no Kitsune wasn't killed but merely defeated by your fourth hokage. He sealed it within a container, you, when he made a deal with the Shinigami of Vengeance right before he died. He and the Kyuubi no Kitsune both are the reasons that you were hated and eventually killed."

Jade and Naruto's eyes were wide at the statement. It was cold and blunt but very much true. The man behind the Shinigami grunted. The Shinigami then turned to Jade.

"You weren't supposed to die at the hands of your abusive uncle but things didn't go as according to plan. A large hiccup like that in your world had just doomed it for several hundred years into darkness. However, your world was already plunging itself into darkness by the previous Light victor against the previous Dark Lord." Jade just took it all in not knowing what it all meant but knew it would be important in the future.

"For these mistakes, you are to return to your respective worlds. However, since the two have already bonded as soul mates, I will allow you two to cross over to each other's world. I will also strengthen the bond for this grave error made in our part. I also part you with this scroll to the two of you." It handed the scroll to Jade. "Finally, the three of you will be able to communicate in your dreams."

It then made a slashing motion with the red papers. They slipped from the fingers and went to their respective recipient's chest. Both Jade and Naruto's eyes bulged out when they saw the tall red head was the demon before the Shinigami parted a hint. "There is no reason that you couldn't help each other's destinies."

They both looked at each other for the last time before they felt the darkness slip their souls back to where they belonged.
