Hello, this is my first story I hope you like it. I've kind of added stuff from Naruto, Avatar, Harry Potter, and Inuyasha. I do not own any of the characters. I also don't own some of the plot. This story takes place after Harry Potter's fight with Voldemort. Brenda is his granddaughter. The story is background is kind of like this. James (Harry's son) is married to Chihiro (Naruto's daughter who I've paired with Hinata) and they have a kid named Brenda. Understand? Sorry if that has confused some of you. Please R&R. Thanks!

Chapter 1- A New Beginning

*Dream*

Sitting in the middle of the floor near the fireplace is a little girl. Across from her is her father, James Potter. He has in his hand a wand producing many colorful bubbles. His daughter, Brenda, is moving a stream of water through the air to pop them with the grace of a hunting tigress.

[If you, dear reader, have ever seen a tigress hunt, then you know what it is like to see the power of a beast while it waits for the prey to arrive.

Brenda is a small thing. She is the spitting image of her mother with her waist long, black, and straight hair. They looked so much alike you know that Brenda would have a skinny waist just like her mother. Brenda's eyes are of a light blue, yet they are so deep and dark that they show the mind of a person centuries old. People say that the eyes are the windows to a person's soul, but Brenda's show nothing. Nothing can penetrate them except the light that shows that she's alive.]

A woman rushes into the room. She talks to James so fast that Brenda can't even to begin to comprehend what is being said. James scoops up his daughter, kisses her forehead, and hands her to the woman. If you haven't figured out whom the woman is, reader, then shame on you. She is Brenda's mom, Chihiro Potter. Most people call her Cho, however.

Cho does not ever glance at the bundle in her arms as she darts up the stairs and into the nursery.

Downstairs, the door is thrown open. James approaches leaving his wand on the arm of the chair he was sitting upon only moments before. A cloaked figure enters. From under the cloak a wand is raised, and in a flash of light that bathes the entryway in pale green, James Potter falls to the floor still.

"Daddy!" Brenda shrieks, feeling the life force of her dad vanish.

"Hush, Ren," which was her nickname, "there's nothing we can do now," her mother replied as she placed her into her crib.

At that instant the door was thrown off its hinges...

"Wake up! You have chores to do!" That was Aunt Ninota. She was wearing clothes that would only make sense to wear if she was going to a wedding but that was the way she dressed. "Did you hear me?"

"Yes, Aunt Ninota," I mumbled. She was in one of her moods. Again. Yet when is she not?

I crawled out of my room if could even call it that. It was more like the small closets you see in the movies from America at best. Frankly, I'd rather have a master closet that I know some American's have.

Time to begin my chores. Now the list is quite colorful. I must fix breakfast, clean the rooms, mop the floors, and do the laundry. Aunt Ninota always finds a reason to beat me. Whether it was cleaning too slowly for her taste, leaving smudges of my feet on the floors, or not fixing the food they want, I always got beaten.

Then, I left for school. It's the only time of the day when I'm not beaten and that's only because not too long ago they found out why I came to school with bruises or something broken. Now it's a wonderful, only if my cousin, Staciadica, leaves me alone. Lately, it seems as though I'm the only entertainment she can find at lunch. However, today she had others. Poor kids.

New students were at the academy starting their enrollment. During lunch they had started crying. Do you know who made them cry? I'll tell you. Staciadica. I started towards them with Kirara at my side. Kirara is my dæmon, my soul. She has the form of a three-tailed kitten, but when we're threatened she transforms into a three-tailed tigress.

"So who is at your mercy today, Cousin?" I'm supposed to call her sister because cousin is an insult in my house, but I'll die before I call her sister. Staciadica smirked. She was wearing a red mini-dress with black dragons. Behind her were her sidekicks. They were twins, although you wouldn't know it by looking at them. One was brown-hairs, tall, and lanky while the other was blond with a plump stomach.

As I approached, the girl they were teasing stared at me. I'm not the best person to be doing this. Ever since I visited her with Mum and Dad years ago, life has not been pleasant since I've returned. We had visited here when my grandfather was dying.

*Flashback*

As his last breath left him, the demon fox that had been sealed within him was released. The air had been thick with death that night.

During the fight, I left the house to find my parents and to get away from my cousin. Along the way a man found me. He was dressed for battle, yet it was casual. I didn't know what was going to happen right then. The next thing I knew he's moving his hands in complicated sequences. All the while his eyes were staring past my head, full of fear and anxiety. I looked to where his eyes seemed to be and in front of me was a massive feline demon with a powerful aura that seemed to glow. Coming out from behind it was nine tails. It was looking at me with naked curiosity. I couldn't help but to look into its black eyes tinged with red.

Then I was dragged into the black waters of unconsciousness. I could hear though. It was my mother screaming hours later.

"Why did you do this?" she had demanded. "Why did you choose her, of all people? She's my only girl!"

That was a long time ago, and I can't remember all of the details for I was in a lot of pain. It was more pain that I thought was possible.

However, anything I remember is so vivid. I remember the blood, the bodies, the man and the look he had, the demon (since the demon is sealed within me now I guess that explains Kirara's looks), and mother's screaming.

People in this village I'm imprisoned in, treat me as if I'm death itself, well they're close. I am this village's personal child of death. One day thought I will get out of here. I will go anywhere I want. I'll start a new life.

"Well, if it isn't my maid. Come to tell me Mother wants me home, or are you just asking to be beaten?" I wish I could hurt Staciadica and her parents sometimes and not have to worry about what would happen afterwards.

That was when Iruka sensei arrived.

"What is going on, Brenda?" He always came to me first since he knew that they would make me cover for them if they had the chance.

"You know same old same old. Staciadica is teasing some new students," I replied. Off to the side, I could see my cousin glowering at me. I knew I wouldn't be walking away from this unharmed.

"Well, Staciadica," he said finally looking at her. "You can come visit me Monday after school. Brenda, Lady Hokage would like to speak to you."

"Yes, Sensei," I bowed.

Staciadica just looked down at her feet before she mumbled, "Yes, Sensei." I left the situation with concern in my head. Why would the Hokage want to speak to me? I wondered.

"Perhaps, she wants us to leave the village," Kirara suggested.

"No, we're too valuable to them," I reminded her. "Besides, they would just send the Anbu Black Ops to do that." We laughed at the thought of them trying to kick us out. We may not look like much, but we are powerful enough that we could possibly overthrow the Leaf Village.

As we approached the Hokage's chambers we could smell the scent of drying ink.

"She's been signing documents." I agreed with Kirara silently, wondering what kind of documents.

"Come in, Brenda," came a voice from behind the door, which I hadn't even touched yet.

The Hokage was on her pedestal, and looking as grand as ever as we walked in.
