Harry Potter Soul Reaper – The Next Great Adventure

No. 4 Private Drive was a perfectly normal house on a perfectly normal street with a 'perfectly normal' family, well except the occupant's; the Dursley's, nephew Harry, a short underfed and heavily abused 6 year old boy… oh and he's a wizard. Today was like every other day Harry could remember; get woken up by his harpy of a aunt, make the family breakfast, clean Dudley's room while he was at school (the Dursley's didn't believe in spending their hard earned money on educating a 'freak'), make dinner and get beaten by his whale of an uncle for whatever thing he'd done wrong this time or maybe just because. Tonight however Vernon went heavy on the brandy and drunken rage plus Harry's slight weight smashed him into the table and breaking it, earning him more beatings. Harry limped to his cupboard in pain, leaving bloody streaks on the wall and floor, unaware he would soon die of internal bleeding as the pain pulled him into unconsciousness. The muggles or boy may not know this but someone did, sensing a human dying the whites of her eyes momentarily darkened as he passed. The recently officialated Shinigami Sonidoed to the new plus' spirit energy and came across the muggle home, passing through the door she felt a prescience in the cupboard under the stairs 'No, surely it couldn't' she thought as she approached it, her claw like nails making short work of the lock. Opening it she was horrified; in the cupboard was the body and soul of a 6 year old boy who was so small he barely looked 4, and his chain of fate, was spread all around the cramped space, Sakura looking very worried. 'Hello' she said placing her hand on his shoulder, who turned and pressed himself against the opposite wall, eyes filled with fear trying to stay away from her. Sakura frowned and then had a light bulb moment only someone like her or Nel with their 'special' thought processes could come up with. 'HI!' she said in a high pitched chibi voice (yes she sometimes has one of those, sorry) 'What's your name?' 'H-H-Harr-rry Po-t-tter' Harry stuttered his eyes never leaving Sakura's 'Am I dead?' he asked shocking her. 'Um yes, Harry, I'm sorry about that' Sakura said, her maternal instinct telling her to comfort the boy (Yes it's THAT Sakura) 'I'm here to take you somewhere special, where you'll be safe and people won't hurt you anymore. Do you want to come with me?' she asked. Normally children are told not to run off with buxom strangers with mask like eye patches and swords (Well not them specifically, but those ones were implied) but Harry wasn't, most likely because the Dursley's hoped someone would kidnap him and take him off their hands, so the boy left with Sakura and was brought to the Soul Society.

Exiting the Garganta there was a bustle of people in the immediate area causing Harry to cling tightly to Sakura as they headed towards their intended destination; Head Captain Yamamoto's office. Not long after the white haired hybrid was in a meeting with the most powerful man in Soul society, her Hollow once again telling her they could kick his ass without trying though she usually ignored him, there was a reason for this meeting. 'Head Captain, while I was doing my patrol I found this boy, he has great spiritual potential as well as magic similar to my old life, due to this and the fact he's become rather… attached to me' she mentioned referring to the fact Harry hadn't let go of her white hamaka since they arrived 'I was wondering if we could skip the leaving him in Rukon District and just let me and my family take care of him?' Harry was dumbfounded, this woman who'd just met him had taken him away from the Dursley's and even more wanted to get this man to let her take care of him, he couldn't contain it and wrapped his arms around her middle (as much as his slight frame could manage) and cried 'Thank you miss please can I have a family?' he whimpered into her clothes, both her and Yamamoto felt a blade pierce their hearts; Old Man Yama couldn't find any way he could deny her this, even if she was a Hollow he couldn't take her away from a boy who'd done nothing wrong and had his world destroyed. 'It seems I only have one course of action' he announced and Harry felt Sakura stiffen 'I allow care and guardianship to be passed for Mister …' he checked her briefing '… Harry James Potter to be given to Squad 12's Third Seat Sakura Necrophades and Lieutenant Szayel Aporro Granz' Harry looked at the aged shinigami with joy and wonder in his eyes 'Thank you Santa!' He yelped and the Head Captain did something uncharacteristic he let out a low chuckle 'Oh he'll fit in just fine, Sakura introduce him to Yachiru and he'll never be sad or lonely again' 'Yes Sir' Sakura said and grabbing Harry around his waist Sonidoed to Squad 12.

Over the next few years Harry managed to settle into his life with an actual family as well as gain the weight he was supposed to have for his age and the muscle mass of a shinigami of his size and relative age including getting his own Zanpakuto and unlocking it's Shikai. All was going well until Dumbledore decided to check on the boy to ensure he would be heading to Hogwarts and discovered he had been dead for nearly 5 years, after which he called an old friend who was none other than Yamamoto and expressed the importance of Harry coming to Hogwarts and the 1000 year old shinigami said he would leave the decision to Harry. Harry was unsure about the idea as though he would be in the world of his real parents he knew he'd miss the interaction of his family and the friends he'd gain since arriving here.

His mind was brought out of his stupor when the thorns of his opponent's plant like sword cut his wrist causing him to drop his sword 'Wake up Space Cadet' called his sparring partner and brother/sister 16 yr old Anthony Samuel Granz his Akuma Rōtasu (Demon Lotus) currently wrapping around his neck 'You don't have to worry about us bro, the mirror call kido works in areas of high spiritual and magical density' he said with a smile 'Just go for it, you know you want to!' 'He's right you know Harry?' Harry turned to see Sakura watching her boys, usual attire of white jacket and hakama present, her usual innocence only marred by the feral look in her chocolate brown eyes (or eye as the left has just the blood red slit that functioned as the eye hole of her mask) and smirk 'I've known since your magic was confirmed that something like this would occur, you don't need to worry about us and your friends might be able to annoy their parents to the point they let them visit you in Hogwarts just to get them to get the fuck out of their hair' she said smiling which widened with the joyful look on Harry's face 'Thank you mom' he said hugging her, trying very hard not to nuzzle her which started her off giggling.

The day before his trips to the living world, Harry was called to Szayel's lab for important business, entering the room the pink haired arrancar appeared with his at one time creepy smile 'Hello Harry' he said pleasantly 'Hello father' Harry replied 'I know your going into the magical world, so I spent some time redesigning the gigai you will be using as Yamamoto is giving you a reason to leave' Harry laughed he also saw Yamamoto giving him the mission just his way of giving him permission and a reason to go into the world of the living 'So what is it?' Harry asked. 'This!' Szayel announced with a flourish, a pendent with the symbol for his squad, the 13th raised on it though the lower symbol had a convex shape to it. 'Harry this has been created so you can either be released from you body…' he said pointing to the upper symbol '… or retract the form into the devise' he continued pointing to the lower symbol. Harry took the chain and looped it around his neck then turned to Szayel 'Thank you father, will you still be escorting me to Diagon Alley?' Harry asked 'Yes Harry, tomorrow we will meet this Hagrid and we will see you some time later' Szayel answered, he had agreed to be the one as the all knew Sakura wasn't going to be able to let Harry go if she went, he on the other hand would, though just about. The following day before Harry and Szayel could leave he got mobbed by his friends; 13 year old twins Henry and Sandy Gingerback (Starrk is his last name and Lilynette doesn't need hers so there), 11 year old Shinidos Cifer and a depressed looking 10 'And a Half!' year old Alistair Vega (Had to get everyone in). After reminding them he could and will use the mirror to call them once he'd settled in and a round of hugs they left without an incident. Exiting the Garganta Harry and Szayel arrived just outside the Leaky Cauldron where they were met by a giant of a man though still smaller then Po. 'Hello 'Arry! Me name's Hagrid, I'm here to show you around Diagon Alley and help you get yer stuff for Hogwarts' the man now introduced as Hagrid said in a jovial voice that made Harry smile. 'Thank you Hagrid for doing this for us, before my Hollowfication I was what I suppose you would call a muggle so even now the building is just a shimmery blur to me' Szayel said with unwithheld gratitude, 'Sure thing, I needed to do some'ing important fer Dumbledore anyway so was happy to bring Harry shopping' Hagrid replied happily. Szayel looked at Harry and after a hug left back through the Garganta, having already arranged to meet back in 3 hours.

Hagrid brought Harry through to Diagon Alley and Harry was mystified by what was around him. They arrived at Gringotts and approached one of the goblins 'We've come te take some money outta Mr. Harry Potter's safe' Hagrid boomed 'That's all well and good but the Potter Vaults have been sealed since Mr. Potter's death 5 years ago, good bye' the goblin sneered. Harry approached the desk 'I was informed by Head captain Yamamoto that Gringotts deals with Shinigami' Harry stated 'I am 5th Seat Harry Potter of Squad 13' as he opened his shirt and produced the pendent. 'Oh of-of course mi-mister-r Pot-tter' the goblin replied looking worried 'As long as you have your key Gringotts allows it, it's just almost non-existent as so few wizards become shinigami' Hagrid then produced Harry's key and they were on their way.

There was little incident during the shopping after that, though Harry got really embarrassed when Hagrid got him an owl for him as a birthday present. When they arrived at Ollivander's Harry received his wand with out comment, though inside the idea of having The Dark Lord's brother wand left him perplexed. As Hagrid left to get them food when they returned to the Leaky Cauldron a hooded figure approached him 'Mr. Potter, there are things that must be done to keep you on the right path' he said as Harry looked at him with visible confusion until he removed a wand from his cloak; Harry's wand. Before his eyes the man snapped his wand, his neutral position remaining in his body language. Harry saw red and due to the high magical/spiritual concentration in Diagon Alley he pulled out his Zanpakuto but the figure caught the swing and with a twist of his wrist broke a sliver from the sword. The anger Harry had was replaced by fear as he was now practically unarmed against this person, but the man spoke again as his other hand went to his hood, pushing it back as he ran it through the dark purple locks 'I'm sorry Harry but I needed to stop you from being manipulated by the old goat fucker and besides, this...' the held up the shard he'd broken from Harry's blade 'already channels your power so is the perfect wand core' Harry sat back down as he looked over the strangely serious looking immortal, Serpens had always been fairly off the wall but he was well trusted by his family and Harry had always enjoyed there talks on magic and other things, though it worried him that people were trying to control him and he'd just entered the wizarding world. 'Ok' Harry said 'But you owe me a new wand' Snaky smiled at this and with a bow flickered out as Hagrid returned. A while later they met back up with Sakura outside who nearly strangled him when she hugged him before they left. Harry noticed she looked sad but he understood; he'd be leaving for Hogwarts in 2 weeks.

LW: Well that's one way to start a crossover, here's to manipulative AD and bashing galore.
