A/N: This fic came to be while I was imagining a Magical!Iruka and an HPNaruto crossover. Normally, I dislike HPNaruto crossovers, but after reading a HPNaruto crossover fic called Harry Potter and the Foreign Guard, (which I REALLY like and would recommend to all KakaIru lovers out there) I started liking it. This will be a yaoi fic, so if you don't like male with males, kindly don't read.

I'm hoping I don't get writer's block.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Harry Potter. They belong to there respective writers. Trust me, you'd know if I owned them, (which I sadly don't).

Escape from Reality
Chapter 1: Prologue

The moon was full that night.

A woman- tall, petite, dressed in dark robes, raced desperately though the forest, ignoring the branches that scratched her face. She paid no mind to the dark liquid flowing from her temple, or the unnerving whispers the forest seemed to emanate. She pressed the limp bundle in her arms close to her chest.

Her heart quickened when a beam of bright green light missed her body and just barely, hit a tree, which shattered like glass.

"The mudblood's escaping!" A male voice called from behind.

"You know the orders, strike to kill!" A gruff voice reminded to the entire party of men.

The woman panted and narrowly dodged the purple curse that ended up colliding with another dead tree.

"Mom…" The bundle in her arms moaned weakly. Questioningly as if she wasn't there. She shushed her little one and soothingly hummed a small tune that she often sang.

Taking a chance, the woman swiftly ducked beneath a large boulder that was stuck between to trees with cat-like grace and stopped the tune. She closed her eyes in relief when the cloaked men ran past without any suspicion or hesitation.

The woman gently uncovered the bundle's cloth, revealing the face of a young boy. The boy whimpered at the cold air and shivered. The child's labored breathing made small clouds in the frosty air and sweat matted his forehead.

"Shh, it's okay baby…. Everything's gonna be okay…" The woman whispered, gentle green eyes meeting large chocolate brown ones just like her husband's.

"H-Hurts… mama…" The boy shivered once again and the mother placed a tan hand on his brow. She mentally cursed. A fever. 'That monster…'

"Mom…" Her heart shuddered at the pathetic call. She pushed his silky brown tresses out of his face. Her eyes strayed to the fresh scar across the bridge of her son's nose.

The woman was startled out of her thoughts when by a large hand pressing on her shoulder. She turned around instinctively and her eyes widened in terror when she was met by a cruel white mask similar to the ones the group pursuing her had worn. Her breath caught in her throat and she clutched her child like a lifeline.

Her mouth open to scream, but the mask was roughly ripped off and she stared into the rough familiar face.

"Shigure!" She smiled brightly, one that made her look almost child like. "What took-"

"We don't have much time, Hana!" He gasped out in a strained voice. Hana noticed in alarm that a dark stain that looked suspiciously like blood seeped from his chest. "We must hurry before the night-"

"Stupefy!" A voice interrupted loudly from behind.

Shigure shoved himself in front of Hana and raised his wand at the Death Eater.

"EXPELLIARMUS! PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" His voice, harsh from earlier usage, sounded harsh and he relished the sight of the man's eyes widening in fear. The man dropped down. petrified, in a pale heap.

Shigure snapped the wizard's wand in half when the other's wand flew to his hand. He pulled his wife up gently and looked around for any signed of other enemies. "They'll be more soon, we must hurry!" Shigure swept his dark hair out of his eyes and frowned when he saw his son's fevered state.

"He's in the second stage, love." Hana grimly answered the question before it left his lips. She looked up at him sadly, as if hoping he could find a cure. Shigure stomach squirmed uneasily and he felt a sense of self-loathing. None of this would have ever happened if he had stopped that coal eyed demon.

Before he could say anything about the matter, distant shouts echoed farther away. He could distantly see the flames of torches drawing near, lighting up the the naked and scorched trees.

In Hana's arms, the 5-year-old started whimpering.

Shigure scanned the slowly brightening sky above and found the glowing red planet hidden in the array of stars.

"Mars shines brightly tonight…" Shigure breathed, transfixed, before he immediately reached into the stolen Death Eater robes and took out a sphere the size that fit snuggly in his palm.

Hana shivered at the dark magic that pulsed from the magical artifact. It unnerved her when she noticed her son relax and his pained expression fade in its presence.

Despite its disturbing aura, Hana placed her hand on the sphere when it was offered to her. She was surprised to feel the warmth that surged through her body at the simple touch. Hana distantly heard Shigure chanting inaudible words under his breath, his mocha irises hidden and eyebrows furrowed in concentration. The orb beneath her fingertips tingled as an ethereal glow vibrated from its ebony surface.

'Don't worry anymore, my Iruka… We'll never be hurt from them ever again… You'll never be hurt ever again…' Hana held Iruka closer to her heart as Shigure shouted out the final words of the incantation.

"...QUOD NUNQUAN UT REVERTO ITERUM!"

Hana only ever felt a strong pull different to the ones from a portkey, before everything turned black. In an instant, they were swallowed in obsidian shadows.

One year later...

"Kaa-san? Kaa-san! Why do I have to wear this all the time?!"

"Because, if you don't, a monster will come and eat you!" She said playfully while laughing softly.

Iruka tugged on the necklace, a blush growing on his healthy tan skin. "Kaa-san! Really! It makes me look even more so girly! Why can't I take it off?"

Her eyes lost a bit of their light. "If you take it off, you'll get very, very sick, and Kaa-san and Tou-san will be very sad if you get sick. Do you understand, Iruka-kun?"

6-year-old Iruka digested the information and nodded vigorously. "Hai, Kaa-san!"

Hana smiled approvingly and beckoned her head towards the two boys standing outside the house. "Good, now go along and play with Izumo-kun and Kotetsu-kun. And I better not catch you three playing tag with trainer shurikans!"

Tbc.

I would really appreciate reviews, dear readers, on how you think of my story so far. No flames, though, please, I fear that they may dampen my writing spirit and prolong any upcoming chapters.
