Prologue

"Mommy! Daddy! Look at me! I'm flying!"

Naruto smiled as he watched Kiba carrying his five-year-old daughter, making her look like she's flying. His daughter looked a lot like her mother, but she had his personality. She had her mother's baby blue eyes, his bright blonde hair and her fair skin. She was loud-mouthed like both of her parents and hyper-active just like him.

"Yeah sweetie! You're flying!"

His smile grew as he heard his wife smile and giggle as she watched their daughter 'fly'. She really was beautiful..with her long pale blonde hair, which she always keeps in a high ponytail, her beautiful baby blue eyes which always reminds him of the sky. If someone were to ask him if he could see himself falling in love and marrying the Ino Yamanaka, he would've said no. But here he was, with Ino Yamanaka and their day in their living room.

"Oi! Kiba!" Ino yelled. "Don't put her too high! I don't want you to give her amnesia!" She joked.

Kiba laughed. "Don't worry, Ino! I won't do anything to hurt my niece!"

Oh yeah, and Kiba is Ino's step-brother. Her father married his mother and yatta, yatta, yatta. They have become really close. And also Kiba is Naruto's best friend. And he is Kiba's only friend.

Ino yelped in surprise when she felt an arm pull her close. She then giggled when she felt him nuzzle her neck. "I love you, Ino.." he said, leaving a peck on her neck. She smiled and brought her hand up and scratched the back of his neck. "I love you too, Naruto."

"Mommy, mommy, mommy! Can I have ice cream!" Inoe, their five-year-old daughter, asked as she ran up to her mother and tugging at her mother's orange summer dress.

Ino smiled. "Of course, sweetie." She unwrapped Naruto's arms from around her and pecked him on the cheek. "I'll be back." She smiled at him before grabbing her daughter's hand and walking to the kitchen.

Kiba whistled. "Maan, honestly Naruto, I never thought you would get a girl like Ino..or that she'd ever fall for a guy like you." He said as he laid back on the couch with his arms on the back of the couch, getting himself comfortable.

"Me either.." Naruto admitted. "But hey, it happened. And I'm glad it did." He said, as he sat down next to Kiba. He looked at Kiba and smirked. "What would you do to me if I had returned Hinata's feelings when she confessed to me?" He asked, mildly curious.

"I know what I do now, but not back then. Hinata didn't know how I felt back then, and if you returned her feelings, then she'd be happy...and if she's happy with you, then I'm happy. But that didn't happen..." He smirked at the last part. "..And because you kindly rejected her, I got to confess and to my surprise, she felt the same way. It was the best day of my life." Kiba smiled, just thinking about that day.

Naruto smiled, glad that he did something for Kiba that made him look like he was the happiest man in the world. There was a knock on the door and he heard Ino yell, "COMING!" and she walked out of the kitchen and opened the front door.

When Ino opened the front door, she was confused as to why there was a police officer on her doorstep. "May I help you?" She asked.

The officer just stared at her. "Does Naruto Uzumaki live here?"

"Yes. He's my husband. Is there something wrong?"

"Ino?" She heard Naruto say and she could hear his footsteps, meaning he was walking to her. "Who's at the-" he stopped when he saw the police officer. "What's going on?"

"Naruto Uzumaki?" the police officer asked.

"That'd be me." Naruto answered.

The police officer took out a pair of handcuffs and walked behind Naruto, putting his arms behind his back and handcuffing him as he said. "You are under arrest for the rape and murder of Keiko Nagato."

Ino gasped. "Rape...? Murder...?" She asked, tears pooling at the corner of her baby blue eyes as her hand came to cover her mouth. "There has to be a mistake!" She yelled. "My husband is not a murderer or a rapist!"

Her yelling made Kiba run in with Inoe and what he saw was not what he expected. There was a police officer behind Naruto, who is handcuffed, and Ino yelling with tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry ma'am. But we found your husband's DNA in the crime scene. He murdered and raped Keiko Nagato." He said as he led Naruto out of the house. Naruto didn't even bother fighting against or saying that he's innocent as he let the police officer lead him out of his house.

"Naruto!" Ino yelled as she ran down her front steps and was at the bottom and she ran to the fence and grabbed on it, tears streaming down her face and panic written all over her face. "What is he talking about? What's happening?" She asked with trembling lips.

Naruto looked at her with a small smile. "Don't worry, hime. The lawyers will take care of it in the morning. It's all a mistake..." He said before he was roughly pulled into the back of the police car.

Ino watched with a tear-streamed face as she watched the police car drive away with her husband in the back seat, accused of murder and rape.

"Ino!" Kiba ran out with Inoe in his arms. "What's going on? What happened?"

"The officer said that he murdered and raped Keiko Nagato." Ino replied, with a shaky voice. "Kiba.." She looked at him. "You have to take me to the station after we drop Inoe at school." She said, with teary eyes.

Kiba nodded, knowing that even if he said no she would go by herself.

Ino was at the police station in the morning with Kiba. She went up to the front desk. "I need to speak to Naruto Uzumaki." She said, sounding desperate. "Please..."

Before the woman at the front desk could reply, the officer from yesterday came in. "Your Uzumaki's wife, am I correct?" Ino swiftly turned around and saw the same officer. She nodded. "Yes, I am. Can I speak to him?"

The officer stayed quiet for a moment before he sighed. "Follow me." And he started to walk the same way he came.

Ino turned to Kiba. "Wait for me here." He nodded and she followed the police officer. After a few minutes of walking, the officer stopped in front of a room. "He's in there.." he said, before turning his back to her. "You got 5 minutes."

She took a deep breath before she turned the knob and walked in. There was her husband, sitting in a chair in front of a table, with his hands still hand cuffed. Naruto looked up at the sound of the door opening and saw Ino. He stayed silent as she walked to the table and sat down on the chair across from him. There was more silence for about ten minutes before Ino decided to break the silence.

"What the hell is going on, Naruto?" She asked, her voice cracking as a few tears fell. "This girl... she was..." More tears fell. She looked up at Naruto with tear-filled baby blue eyes. "Naruto, please tell me you didn't do this."

Naruto's heart was breaking as he watched the woman he loves breaking and he stared at her baby blue eyes with his own cerulean eyes filled with sadness. "You know me better than anyone.. You've been with me 24/7 for 10 years. You have to know I would never do this..." He said, shaking his head when he said the last part.

"Then why..?" She asked, grabbing the edge of the chair as more tears fell. "Why did he say that your DNA was all over the crime scene?"

He bit his lip. He couldn't tell her. He had to protect her. "They're sending me to court at 3:30.." He said and Ino stared at him. "Ino, I swear, I did not kill that girl. I'm innocent."

Ino stared at him for a while before shaking her head. "N-Naruto.. I-I kn-know you didn't do it. You couldn't do it.. b-but they found your DNA..."

Before Naruto could respond, the door opening and the officer said, "Time's up."

Both Ino and Naruto looked at each other one last time before she got up from the chair and walked out of the room. When he heard the steel door close, Naruto closed his eyes, letting a few tears fall.

3:30 P.M. COURT DATE.

After hearing what the lawyer had to say to defend Naruto and the evidence that the police had found at the crime scene, the judge was making his decision and Ino was anxious. She held onto Inoe tightly and held her breath as she waited for the judge's answer.

Naruto stared at the judge, knowing full well that even though he had a good lawyer, it can't beat the evidence that the police had found. His DNA was everywhere, his blood. He saw the judge open his mouth, and closed his eyes, agonizing the answer.

"I hereby sentence you guilty for the rape and murder of 15-year-old Keiko Nagato."

Tears pooled at the edge of Ino's eyes.

Kiba's jaw tightened.

Naruto's eyes filled up with tears as his eyes were closed, if only he could explain.

"You are sentenced to the death penalty, 3 months from today." He said and he pounded the gavel. "Case Closed."

Tears fell as he was pulled by security guards out of the room. He looked at Ino with sad eyes. Ino's tears were streaming down his face. Naruto looked at his daughter and more tears fell then, he looked at Kiba but before he could give Kiba any look, he was out of the room.

"Mommy?" Inoe turned around in her mother's arms to look at her. "Why was daddy crying? Why are you crying, mommy?" She asked, innocently.

Ino stared down at her daughter before she hugged her tightly, her shoulders shaking uncontrallaby. Kiba's eyes softened and he felt his throat dry. No, he couldn't cry. He had to be strong for them. He pulled both Ino and Inoe in his embrace and let Ino cry on his shirt. He closed his eyes as she cried silently. He opened his eyes and looked at Inoe, who was still confused as to why her mother was crying. "Ino..." he whispered. "You have to be strong. For Naruto...for Inoe."

Hearing those words, her sobs slowly died down and she pulled away from Kiba's arms and hugged her daughter. "Mommy's okay, sweetie..." She pulled away and brushed her daughter's bangs back. "Let's go home okay?"

This just came to me in the middle of the night and I could not go to sleep! Tell me what you think of it. This is just the prologue. If you're not interested, I won't continue. I need at 5-10 reviews to convince me.
