A Raven's Guide to Seducing a Blonde

Chapter 11: The Wrong Side of the Law

Naruto sat in the principal's office with Iruka. The jock that he had attacked was being interviewed in the next room by the police officers. He felt so angry still and he knew that whatever he was saying in there would probably be something along the lines of "He just went crazy for no reason". Iruka looked at the blonde with concern. He really did believe that Naruto would be able to stay out of trouble this time and it was a shame because the blonde was really smart academically.

"You know this whole thing could've been avoided if you'd just taken up the counselling I offered before the start of the year" Iruka said breaking the silence.

"And you know that I had no intention of spilling my guts to a complete stranger who would most probably not give a shit unless they got paid"

"Naruto… it could've really helped you. Especially with your episodes"

"I'm not discussing it" the blonde snapped. Before senior year begun he had promised his mother, his teachers and his school that on the terms he would stay out of trouble and take counselling he will be able to return and finish his final year and graduate. But he hated the thought of talking to a shrink. People knowing his business made him extremely anxious.

"They've called your parent's by the way"

"Great. Wait, parents?"

"Yeah, your father answered the phone when the principle called"

"You've got to be fucking kidding me" Naruto ran his fingers through his hair. He didn't want that bastard telling him how much of a fucking disappointment he is in front of everyone. "I bet he's fucking loving this"

"Naruto… why didn't you mention your father was back?"

"Iruka, why the fuck would I tell you anything?" the blonde snapped.

"Because you confided in me all those years ago, remember? You told me everything he used to do and what your family went through. You told me that in confidence and it helped you as I recall"

"…yeah so?"

"So you can trust me. If there's anything that you want to tell me now is your chance. You never know it might help you get off lightly in this situation"

Naruto didn't respond. If there was anything he was going to do to help himself, it wasn't going to involve or be influenced in anyway by that scumbag he called a father. Naruto wanted nothing to do with him and the fact that his mother or his father didn't care to check up on him after he left home, just proves that they didn't give a damn. He knew deep down that his mother did care but when it came to his father, he was so controlling there was no way she would go out of her way to help him over that man. And he never blamed her for that because he understood how much trouble he can make for her. He just wanted her to be happy and that's the only regret Naruto ever had, was letting his mother down.

Sasuke leaned against the hood of his car, eyes not leaving the entrance of the school. He didn't want to leave until he knew Naruto was alright or what was going to happen to him. Sasuke felt an ache in his heart as he recalled the words in his head that came out of the Uzumaki's mouth before they parted. What did he mean by that? Did he really think Sasuke was better off without him? Because he didn't think so, in fact if anything he couldn't be without him. It was killing him inside. He perked off the hood of his car when he saw the blonde being led out of the doors in handcuffs and put into the back of the police car. He walked quickly up to where Iruka was standing on the steps watching and looking concerned.

"Iruka Sensei!" Sasuke shouted as he neared closer. "Where…" Sasuke panted taking a breath. "Where are they taking him?"

"Sasuke? They're taking him down to the station. They're charging him"

"Is he going to be alright?"

"I'm not sure, but he's in a hell of a lot of trouble. He's still on probation after juvenile. He broke the terms and this is not going to help him"

"Is there seriously nothing we can do?" Sasuke asked, almost pleading.

"Sasuke, has Naruto mentioned anything to you about his father?"

"His father? Let's see…" Sasuke knows that Naruto had left home over 3 weeks ago and was slumming it in the school's gymnasium. He hadn't told anyone that he had been living at Sasuke's either. Naruto had told him not to tell anyone about his situation and that it wasn't so much of a big deal. He recalled when he told him about his past and what his father was like but he wasn't sure if anyone at the school was aware of it and the last thing he wanted to do was tell them when Naruto told him in confidence. But what other choice did he have? It might be able to help him.

"Did he tell you about his father?" Iruka continued.

"Oh… yes. He told me about what he used to do to him and his mother…"

"I see. And did you know he was back?"

Sasuke assumed that the school must have called his mother regarding the incident. How else would he have known that his father was back? Naruto had told him that he never mentioned it to anyone except when he had told Sasuke the day he brought him back to his house. Was this seriously the reason why he was so messed up right now? The whole coming out thing seemed like the least of the blonde's worries. Iruka read the expressions on Sasuke's face and took that as a yes. He had saw him and the blonde getting friendly ever since he had transferred here. Part of Iruka was happy that he had made a new friend, someone who can keep him grounded with an excellent track record. But that proved how little he actually knew about Sasuke because in theory, the raven was one of the biggest reasons why things have got a little bit out of control.

The past week Naruto had had been interviewed and trialled following the charges of a serious assault and breaking the terms of his probation. The jock's family had pressed for a punishment for the assault on his son. During court his mother and father had attended the hearing and Naruto's lawyer had urged and advised him to plead guilty but also plead his case truthfully. They tried to get his possible sentencing reduced on the terms of his mental stability and his current home situation. His mother had explained to his lawyer that Naruto had left home just as his father moved back in and she hadn't seen him since. She knew he was attending school because Naruto's siblings would see him around and report back to her letting her know he was okay. His father however managed to manipulate the blonde into speaking none of the issues regarding his feelings towards him moving back home, and not to state any of the past reason's when he went to Juvenile Court. Although there was no guarantee that the judge wouldn't ask him questions about his previous convictions and his previous case considering he was getting charged not only with assault but breaking the terms of said probation too. This caused additional stress to Naruto because he had his father in one ear and his lawyer in the other and had no idea what the best thing was to do anymore.

Naruto received bail pending his next upcoming trail which will determine his possible sentencing and punishment and since the incident Naruto had ghosted Sasuke. He felt guilty because of everything he had done for him but this wasn't a life he wanted the man to be involved in. He deserved so much better than someone like him and the last thing he wanted was to drag him into this mess any further. He lay on his bed thinking about how he managed to get his life in such a state. It wasn't supposed to go like this, he really did want to try and make things better but it was just too hard to do it on his own.

"Naruto?" his mother quietly entered the room holding a plate of dinner. Naruto had still been avoiding his father so he skipped out on the shambles of a family meal time. "You have to eat" she said placing the tray at the bottom of his bed.

"Mom…" the blonde could barely look the woman in the eye. The one person who had always looked after him, she let her down the most. "I'm sorry…"

"Listen sweety, whatever happens I'll be here alright? I'm not particularly happy with the way you've handled things but… you're still my son"

"I will most probably get sent down tomorrow…"

"Naruto…"

"If I do, mom… please promise me something?"

"What is it sweety?"

"Get rid of dad"

"Naruto…"

"Please mom. I don't want him to hurt you anymore. You think I can't see those bruises on your arms?" she looked down at her arm and pulled down her sleeve to cover them up. She didn't want to live this way but the only reason she allowed him to come back was because she needed the extra help with the kids, especially since she was struggling with Naruto.

"Alright" she said, feeling defeated.

"W-what really?"

"Actually…" she started as she stood up to close his bedroom door so that nobody would hear what she was about to say next. She returned to sit on the bed and smiled at her son. "I've… actually met someone" she said, blushing.

"You've met someone? As in… a man?"

Kushina laughed. "Yes, Naruto"

The blonde smiled. He hoped it was someone kind who treat her well. "So… who is he?"

"You really want to know?"

"Of course!"

"Well alright then, let's see… he's the manager at the diner I work at so I have known him for quite some time"

"Hold on a minute, have you been seeing him for a while?" he said narrowing his eyes suspiciously but playfully at his mother.

"Hey! You can't ask me that" she laughed. "Alright maybe we've… had a couple of moments but that's it! I… really like him but nothing came of it when your father came back"

"What's his name?" he asked curiously.

"Minato. He's actually got blonde hair, a little darker than yours. He's really nice and I honestly think you'll like him"

"What about dad?"

"I… haven't really worked out what I'm going to do yet"

"Please be careful mom"

"Naruto… I'm sorry…"

"What have you to be sorry for?" he said in a calming voice. He didn't like seeing his mother look so down.

"I never really did take responsibility for what you went through as a child… you didn't deserve any of it and it's partly the reason why things have got so bad…"

"Mom…"

"I'm sorry I never listened to you when you needed me. I should've took more notice when you were crying out for help. The first time you went to jail should've been enough but I made it worse by letting him come back here…"

"It's not your fault mom. It's all him. Please don't ever blame yourself" Naruto brought his mother into a hug. He didn't remember the last time they talked like this. When he was younger he used to be so close to her and his brothers and sisters but ever since things got worse he grew apart and distanced himself thinking it was better that way. He missed his family but it was too late now. He'd already ruined everything.

"Whatever happens tomorrow, just stay strong okay?"

"I will mom. Thank you"

The day of the trial Naruto wasn't nervous at all. He knew he was going to end up doing time for getting into trouble, he just hoped it wasn't going to be a harsh sentence. He was asked a lot of questions directed to him and his lawyer regarding his mental state and taking a risk his lawyer had explained the blondes past and current home situation which made him worry as during that time he frantically looked to the back of the court for the first time where his mother sat with his father. He looked quite pissed off over the fact his lawyer had ignored Deidara's threats to keep his name out of Naruto's defences. He didn't care that it pissed him off, but what he did care about was his mother getting the backlash of his anger. Before taking his eyes away they shifted a couple of rows above and his eyes widened when he saw Sasuke. What on earth was he doing here? He made it quite clear to Shikamaru that he wasn't to come anywhere near the trial. Sasuke smiled at him, wondering if he was looking pissed off at the fact he went against his wishes to stay away or because he was glaring over at his father. Either way he wasn't going to stay away. He wanted the blonde to know that he was there for Naruto, no matter what.

It seemed like students at his school had made witness statements regarding the incident. To Naruto's surprise they were in his favour. People had defended the blonde explaining that Naruto was provoked and was acting in self-defence for himself and Shikamaru against a homosexual hate crime. He never expected anyone at that school to stick up for him. He did admit to himself that Sasuke was right when he had told him that day that he had the influence to change people's opinion of him. Perhaps people felt guilty for egging the jocks on, but whatever it was he was grateful. Regardless of this though, it didn't seem to work too much in his favour considering the circumstances and the judge came to the final decision to sentence the blonde to 3 years in prison.

"N-no way" Sasuke said, loud enough for people to turn and look. "Shika…" Shikamaru put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder who looked like he was about to burst into tears. He knew it was wrong for Naruto to attack the jock the way he did and all but he never expected it to be this heavy. Especially since there was reasonable circumstances against it.

To be continued.
