Somebody Save Me
Chapter 4
Warning: This chapter gets pretty violent for Naruto!
A few minutes later, Orochimaru left, and Naruto was once again left alone to contemplate his current situation. He hated it, he wished whomever had killed his parents had come after him instead. He guessed though that the endgame had been for Naruto to suffer through as much hell as possible before they finally decided to kill him. Naruto really wished that they weren't playing with his life like this, he would just rather them put an end to it then do what they were doing now.
Even if Naruto was accidentally proven innocent, Naruto doubted that Kurama would ever talk to him again, and that's what hurt more than anything, because Naruto had pretty much always worshiped his older brother. Naruto heaved a sigh, if they really wanted to hurt all they had to do was make Kurama hate him, that fact only would destroy Naruto.
"Feeling sorry for yourself?" Naruto looked up to see Fugaku standing in front of the cell. Naruto could see the grief the man was filling in his eyes, and it only served to hurt Naruto further. "I want to understand why you felt the need to kill your parents."
"I didn't." Naruto answered "I found them like that."
"Sure, and Itachi killed his own clan and ran away to protect Sasuke." Fugaku replied sarcastically. Naruto heaved out a sigh, he wasn't going to argue with the man. Fugaku clearly that Naruto was the murderer no matter what he said. Naruto stared down at the floor, he had nothing else to say to the man that he had considered to be an uncle.
"I'm being set up." Naruto said looking up "I'm being framed for their murders."
"Why would anyone do that?" Fugaku demanded opening the cell door and entering. "Your parents were pretty much adored by everyone."
"I don't know why." Naruto answered "but I know where you can start looking."
"And where is that?" Fugaku asked, backing Naruto into a corner.
"With that slime ball of a defense attorney." Naruto replied. "He is a big part of the picture, I just don't know what part he plays."
"Why would he set you up? What does he have to gain?" Fugaku growled, his eyes narrowing angrily on the small boy in the corner.
"I don't know." Naruto answered. "I'm just going on what he told me."
"Orochimaru is more law abiding than you are." Fugaku stated reaching out and grabbing Naruto by the throat, and lifting him to his eye level. Slamming him against the wall, Fugaku watched with satisfaction as Naruto struggled against his grip.
"Can't breathe." Naruto gasped raising his hands and placing them on top of Fugaku's, trying to pry the man's fingers loose. Fugaku only tightened his grip, until Naruto stopped fighting him and he watched as consciousness began to fade. He dropped Naruto onto the cell floor, leaving the blonde gasping for air.
"If I couldn't get out of your grip" Naruto coughed out "what makes you think I was physically strong enough to stab my parents that many times?" Fugaku slammed his boot into Naruto's ribs, anger filling him at the thought of how his friends had been pretty much butchered. He was too angry to even think about the words that had come from Naruto's mouth. Had he listened he would have realized that chances were Naruto wasn't strong enough to have butchered them the way they had been.
Naruto cried out in pain and curled up in a ball as Fugaku left the cell. Tears fell down Naruto's face as he realized the hopelessness of his situation. Even if he did try to defend himself no one would listen to him because they all wanted him to be guilty. Naruto wondered if Sasuke and Itachi hated him enough to condemn him to a life of hell as well. Naruto lay there for the next few hours, knowing that he would likely be moved to the mental institution soon. Naruto could only hope that he would be treated better there, but he had the feeling that they wouldn't be any better than anyone else.
"On your feet!" he heard a guard snap at him, and Naruto slowly pushed himself to his feet, gasping at the pain in his side. Fugaku had likely broken or at least bruised a couple of his ribs.
"Hurry up, we don't have all day!" the guard snapped, ignoring the pained expression on Naruto's face. He was like everyone else he wanted the kid to pay for the crime that he had supposedly committed without even giving him a fair trial.
"I'm coming" Naruto mumbled as he shuffled towards the guard, who jerked Naruto's arms behind his back roughly before placing the handcuffs around his wrists as tight as possible, not caring that the metal was digging unforgivably into Naruto's wrists. The guard shoved Naruto out of the cell and down the hall towards where the prison transport would be waiting.
Exiting the station, Naruto was shocked to see a crowd of angry people standing between him and the bus that would take him to the mental institute. Naruto yelped in pain when someone picked up a rock and heaved it right into Naruto's face. Agony tore through Naruto's face as the rock made contact with one side of his face, blood burst forth from the wound created and Naruto wanted nothing more than to die on the spot.
"Get going!" The guard snapped, not caring that Naruto had been injured by a bystander. Tears filled Naruto's eyes as he looked up and into the eyes of confused looking Sasuke.
"Help me please!" Naruto mouthed, a tear dropping from his good eye, knowing that if anyone could find the evidence it would be Itachi and Sasuke. Another rock hit him in the face and Naruto cried out before collapsing to the ground, half of his face bloody and in pure agony.
"Let's go" The guard yanked Naruto to his feet and shoved him towards the bus.
"Hey, you shouldn't be treating him like that." Sasuke called out his own tears dropping from his eyes, his heart hurting for his friend at the treatment he was receiving. The teen looked like he was in a ton of pain, his face torn by the rock, blood streaming from his left eye. It made Sasuke wonder if Naruto would be able to see out of it.
"Mind your own business." the guard snapped at Sasuke as he shoved Naruto up the stairs on the bus. "He's getting exactly what he deserves."
"What about the fact that he's innocent until proven guilty!" Sasuke demanded. "you wouldn't treat any other criminal the way that you have treated him."
"Yes, well not everyone else has butchered their parents either." the guard replied.
"You make me sick." Sasuke said scowling. "When he's proved to be innocent, I'll make sure that you are out of a job."
"Good luck with that brat. Your father is just as bad as anyone else." the guard replied.
"Unlike you he lost some good friends, his grief and anger are understandable. Not that it makes it right to treat Naruto badly, but he as an excuse. You, on the other hand are only doing it because you want to."
"Come on Sasuke." Itachi said from where he stood beside his brother. Naruto's treatment had greatly angered him and only wanted to make him prove the blonde's innocence even more. "We'll discuss this with Father later, as for now I think we need to find another way to help Naruto."
"Whatever you do, don't let Kurama near him." Sasuke said "I think he would kill Naruto."
"I'm hoping that once Naruto is proven innocent, Kurama will settle down, but I don't anticipate that until after their parents funerals." Itachi replied as he grabbed a hold of Sasuke's shoulder and forced him to turn away from the prison guard and the bus that was disappearing with Naruto.
"What's the chances that that bus makes it to its destination?" Sasuke asked. He wouldn't put it past the driver or the other prisoners to murder Naruto before he could even get there.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Chances are though Naruto is wanted alive at the hospital. After that is anyone's guess." Itachi replied, his answer sending shivers through Sasuke's body. They had to find proof of Naruto's innocence and quickly.
Naruto sat with his head down on the bus, ignoring the glares of those around him. He could feel the blood running down his face, and wasn't surprised that he couldn't see out of his eye. He had seen Sasuke and Itachi standing there and had seen a tear drop from Sasuke's eye as he had watched Naruto to shoved around. He only hoped that they would bother trying to find the evidence needed to prove that he was innocent. Naruto feared he would end up taking his own life before this was over.
An hour later, Naruto was shoved off the bus and led into a large three story brick building. It looked like it had been a school at one point and Naruto couldn't help but wonder what kind of torture had gone on behind these walls.
Naruto was shoved into a room with two guards, one holding a set of hospital issued clothes the other just glaring at him.
"So you are the parent murderer." one of the guards sneered. And Naruto said nothing, just looked down at the ground and prayed that this wouldn't take forever.
"Since I'm guessing you've never been here before, here's how it's going to be." the guard proceeded to tell him how he was going to get strip searched to make sure he didn't have any kind of weapons or drugs on him. Then he would get dressed where he would be shown to where his room was. He would have a roommate who wasn't too pleased that he was having to share a room with Naruto.
"He's a murderer too, so I'm sure you'll get along great." The guard laughed after finishing his explanation.
"Now for the fun part." The other guard told Naruto. "Strip out of everything." Naruto swallowed nervously, he already didn't like these guards, they seemed just as cruel as everyone else. Naruto slowly stripped out of his shirt before he went on to take his shorts off. When he was finished he was left standing in his boxers.
"I said strip out of everything" The guard snarled, glaring at Naruto.
"I don't do drugs so why would I smuggle them in?" Naruto asked as he shoved his boxers down and stepped out of them.
"Hands on the table." the guard instructed "and spread your legs." Naruto placed his hands on the table palms down, and spread his legs. Naruto closed his eyes, humiliated beyond belief as he felt the guard shove his finger none too gently into Naruto's hole. The guard pressed harder into Naruto before removing his finger and smirking at Naruto.
"Just making sure you don't have drugs."
"Why the hell would I put them up my ass?" Naruto asked numbly as the guard handed him a pair of white paper like pants to put on. Once those were in place, Naruto put the shirt on.
"I also wanted to have a little fun with you." the guard whispered in Naruto's ear. "from what I understand you don't have anyone who would care." Naruto shrugged, wincing at the pain in his ribs.
"Maybe he should get taken to the infirmary first. His eye looks like its pretty bad." the other guard suggested "and it looks like he has some broken ribs."
"We'll have the nurse come to him. He'll will live until she's not so busy." the blue haired guard told the other. They led Naruto down a hall that had several doors on each side, each door had a glass window in the middle and bars that covered the windows. Towards the end of the hall, Naruto was led into a room, that only had two beds and one small bathroom in the corner.
On one bed sat a red head with dark circles around his eyes, he glared at Naruto making the blonde boy flinch. The guard holding onto Naruto's arm laughed.
"That's Gaara, he won't hurt you too much if you leave him alone." Naruto rolled his eyes as he was shoved down onto the free bed, his sore ribs hitting the metal siding hard, leaving Naruto gasping in pain.
"We'll come get you when it's time to eat." The guard said as he exited the room, shutting and locking the door behind him. Naruto climbed up on to the bed, and curled into a ball. His aching ribs hurt worse now than they did when he had gotten here. He hoped someone found the truth soon, he didn't think he would last very long here. Not if all the guards were as sadistic and cruel as the two who brought him in here were.
Thanks for reading and reviewing! I will be taking a few days off to work on my other book without distraction. But I will be continuing everything I started on fanfiction.
