Welcome one and all to my first total AU Multi-cross, combining Bleach, Death note, Code Geass and Naruto

It was a quiet, beautiful night. The bright stars danced in the deep navy sky and the thin crescent moon illuminating the sky. A young girl walked alone along the road. Her attire was a simple blouse, a red tie, matching pleated skirt, black shoes with white knee high socks, and a red jacket which she had slung over her shoulder.
Her pale hand ran along the railing, that thin steel that separated her from the rocky cliff's edge. A dark car zoomed past along the cliff road, causing a breeze to whip through the girl's raven locks. She stopped and gazed at the vast ocean before her. It was peaceful, the warm night, the silver moon reflected in the dark waters. To the left of her, a little ways down was the rough sands of the beach.
She always walked down to the cliffs when she felt conflicted or upset. Tonight was one of those nights. Uchiha Itachi hardly ever showed emotion, never less cry, but there she was. Silent tears streaked down her cheeks, as images of her parents, her brother flashed through her head.
Gone. Dead. Killed by a serial murder. The police had called her, to tell her. A nice sounding woman had told Itachi that her parents had been murdered, she sounded comforting, but nothing could soften the terrible blow of her loss. She felt like she had been on the receiving end of a sucker punch. Gone.
The calm was shattered by the screech of brakes. It was a bright red car flying down the cliff curves at a dangerous speed. Itachi spun around, and time seemed to slow. Itachi was flying through the air, her back arching as she sailed through the night sky.
Her life flashed through her eyes.
-"Itachi! Be careful! Itachi! Mikomi screamed as her daughter fell overboard the small boat. -splash- All Itachi felt was the cold water pulling her down as the 5 year-old struggled to get to the surface. The sensation of being held ran through the little girl as she was pushed to the surface. The raven haired girl broke the surface, spluttering and gasping for air.-
-"Happy Birthday nee-san!" Itachi smiled at her annoying 4-year old brother. "you're 9 years old!" the little boy held up six fingers. "You're so weird. . ." Itachi droned. Sasuke pouted, "Am not!"-
-"Welcome to Suna Academy for Girls." a stiff old woman greeted them coolly, eyeing them warily, "My name is Mrs. Josylin, but you must address me as Headmistress. Now follow me." 11 year-old Itachi wrinkled her nose, this was gonna suck . . . Why did her parents have to leave her here?-
Too lazy to make up more flashbacks
The 17 year old school girl landed on the street with a sickening crunch, as the bright red car disappeared behind the corner. Blood poured out around her, everything hurt. Her school uniform was stained red with her own crimson blood.
She was there, aware of everything around her. Everything was sharper if not anything. Then Itachi fell into darkness.

. . . Pain . . .
. . . It is the one thing that every being on this earth understands . . .
. . . Pain ties us together . . .
. . . It is something we can all understand . . .
"Cousin! It's so good to see you've woken up!" A loud childish voice giggled. Itachi woke up to find her surroundings had changed greatly. The weasel was no longer at the beach cliffs; she was in a cave with a rough floor and a leaking ceiling. And a tall man in black robes (think Shinigami from Bleach) and a swirly white one-eyed mask loomed over her.
(The swirls are black, mask is white)
"I saw Cousin fly! It was amazing! But Cousin is no angel, so how did Cousin do it?" The man said in the childish tone Itachi had heard earlier. Who was this guy and why was he calling her Cousin? "Who are you?" Itachi shouted, springing to her feet. The stranger's hand traveled quickly to something at his side, like a reflex. A hilt, a hilt to a sword that hung at his belt.
Luckily, the masked man didn't draw his sword. Instead he giggled, "I call you cousin because I don't know you're name yet!" "My name is Itachi. Uchiha Itachi." The masked man flinched, "Last names will do you no good now. Best to discard your old life, leave it behind. You have a new life now, time to embrace it. I think you'll enjoy it."
