Messed Up: Chap. 4
Rated: T
The guard removed everything, but the chains around Shukaku's wrists, which were attached to the floor. The guard, eventually, left the room, after that, and Naruto moved toward his seat. He sat down.
"We got off on the wrong foot yesterday, so let me start over. I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and you are?"
"You came back." The voice was so low, and it made Naruto pause.
Naruto cleared his throat. "Yeah, it's my job."
The stare from across the room continued.
"Alright, now, I'd like to talk to you about the case." He started, but was met with only that blank stare again. He stood and approached the man and leaned against the edge. He noticed the slight tense of the pale one next to him.
He, slowly, asked.
"What was your involvement in the murders?"
No response. Naruto's eye twitched. What was he going to do? There was only one way that he got the man to respond, which was- A smirk spread to his lips. The only way he ever got through to the man was when he touched upon that one subject.
"Oh, okay, I'll just tell them you confessed, they'd believe me. Ah, well."
He shrugged and almost smiled as the man's hands twitched. He hid his amusement by an exaggerated sigh.
"I'll just tell them that you murdered them all in cold blood."
He backed up, far enough out of reach from the man's grasp. He knew he was far enough that the chains would prevent the redhead man from reaching him. He continued, propping his back against the wall.
"You wanted them dead, so you killed them with no reason at all." Smash.
The pale eyes, a mere foot away from his blue orbs, showed so much hatred. It was just like before. Naruto froze for a moment until he smirked.
"Aw, are you stuck?" The pale eyes slid to the taunt chains around his wrists. Naruto let out a soft chuckle. It stuck in his throat when a hand clamped around his throat. His blue orbs went wide. He cursed himself, when the man leaned close and stated.
"Wrong." The voice was so low and so quiet at the same time. Naruto knew he was the only one to catch the emotion. The camera just had to be on the other side. It missed the evidence that the man knew exactly what he was doing.
The camera also, and naruto, also, missed the fact that Shukaku had pulled back and lifted the chair, so the chains allowed him to reach Naruto. Naruto gripped his hand and yanked it away.
He spun the pale eyed man onto his knees with a sharp push. The door, suddenly, opened to show the guards standing there. Naruto coughed and rubbed his throat. He shook his head.
"Leave, I'm, I'm, fine."
"But, sir-" Everyone left soon after a heated look crossed the blond's face. Naruto drew his hand away and straightened his back.
"You've got quite a temper, don't cha?" He slowly made his way around the table, as he added. "Now, it all makes sense, you snapped, that's it. You couldn't control yourself." His eyes studied the other. He pushed the chair away and took a seat.
He thought he should have enough space. Shukaku's face remained blank. It was no longer angry, almost as if he knew what Naruto was planning. He probably did. Naruto faked a frown and shook his head.
"You're just won't man up to your mistake."
A small flicker of rage flashed in the pale eyes, for a second, at the last word. The other man had walked around the other side, when Naruto had done so. He went forward, only to get stuck on the edge of the table.
Naruto held back a laugh. This wasn't this guy's day, he thought with a slight smirk. He yelped and his head snapped back from a fist colliding with his noise. It offered a loud crack. Blood slid from his nose as he glared at the so-called crazy man. The man was crouched on the table before him.
He opened his mouth to yell at him. He was met with another punch, and he spit out red. He growled.
"What the hell?!" The man pulled back his hand with a barely controlled anger. Naruto could determine that everyone thought the other was having a tantrum, instead of knowing his actions. The next hit sent Naruto reeling.
Maybe it was also because Shukaku had grabbed the chair and threw him to the side for an easier shot. Naruto groaned, and he was forced to his feet by a strong grip on his collar. Another fist flew at him, but Naruto just sent one of his own into the man's stomach.
The action made the pale orbs blink, and that was enough time for Naruto.
Naruto grabbed the other's hands and smashed the man's stomach onto the table.
"Listen, bastard, I don't need your shit. You just need to admit your crime!" A leg made Naruto stumble backwards. He ducked to evade another hit. It managed to catch his shoulder, and he reacted by using his other hand to punch the man in the jaw. Shukaku took one step back, but approached soon after.
Naruto paused because the other was glancing over his shoulder at the now opened door. The guards rushed over, and they inserted a large needle into the pale redhead's neck.
