A/N: Welcome to my Naruto/SnK Crossover! This is just a little plot bunny that kept nagging me and refused to not let me write it out. Please enjoy! By the way, the shippings are: EreMika, LevEtra, Jeanmarco (fluff, friendship), and a little bit of Annie/Armin.

Summary: They were surrounded by titans. There was no way out. It was the end for Mikasa and Eren. They had but only one option: to jump.

This Cruel but Beautiful World

Prologue

They were surrounded by titans.

Eren and Mikasa were official titan fodder. Eren, fatigued and weak from just transforming, had no gear and could barely stay conscious. Mikasa was injured severely and was out of gas for her 3DMG. They were teetering on the edge of a cliff, the bottom of the gorge littered with bodies of half-decaying bodies of titans and humans alike.

Mikasa grit her teeth. She couldn't stand up, and Eren lay in her lap, barely conscious. She drew her ken, but it did little. The titans kept advancing. They were completely surrounded, and she was sure that they would die.

The cries of their comrades echoed throughout the battlefield, the zip of the 3DMG everywhere. There was blood-blood everywhere. The ground was littered with blood, bodies broken and bloodied, blood of their comrades.

How many more of their friends would die? Sasha, Connie, Jean, or even worse, Armin?

Mikasa, for the first time in a long time, let out a desolate sob. There would be no black-haired, green-eyed children in her future. She and Eren were going to die.

"Eren," she sobbed. "Eren."

"Mi…kasa…" His voice was barely louder than a murmur. He stirred in her lap. "Don't… let the titans… get you…"

"I won't Eren, I promise." She sobbed again. She had promised, yet again, another empty promise.

"…Jump." Eren's eyes barely cracked opened a millimeter, before murmuring the word.

Mikasa sobbed even harder, and hugged Eren close to her chest. She scooted back, ignoring the burning pain. Behind her, she felt the ground crumble away from her fingers.

She pressed a soft, chaste kiss in his hair, inhaling the familiar scent. She choked back a wail, and murmured those words she'd long to say since she was a child. "I love you, Eren."

Then she fell.

This is…

She was aware of Eren's body pressed close to hers. Using her remaining strength, she laced her fingers with his. He tightened his grip, and squeezed her hand reassuringly like he did when she was younger and tell her it would be okay.

But it wouldn't be okay.

a cruel…

She hugged him closer, and pressed her face into his shoulder.

but beautiful…

She was aware of him murmuring something back, something that sounded like, "I love you too, Mikasa."
