Prologue

12:11

"The verdict is final." A sound of the slammed gavel broke through the whole courtroom as prisoner Uzumaki Naruto was confined guilty.

Shouts and numerous questions broke about in the room as reporters shot up from their seats while the members of the jury excused themselves and left the hall.

Chains clung as the convict rose up from his seat; his hands bonded close by heavy handcuffs connected to the shackles around his ancles.

"Take the wrench away." the judge said, hatred filled eyes bore into the composed nineteen year old young man.

Showing no faze for the radiating aura he was receiving, the blond let himself be led out of the courtroom by two officers.

Passing the front seats, he glanced to the right and met the eyes of his red-headed twin. Slowing down long enough to keep him in sight, the convict smiled to his purple eyed brother and mouthed out a few soundless words. 'It'll be fine, Kyuubi.'

The red-haired man watched his twin get shoved to move forward and out of his sight; though not far enough to miss the blond's mouthed out words, 'I'm gonna break through.'

Equal to his brother, a knowing smirk spread over Kyuubi's features.

Sighing at the sensation of cool water hitting his face, Naruto was suddenly startled by a loud yell of a correctional officer barking out orders to leave the showers and head in line to receive the prison inmate-uniforms.

Pulling on dark-blue pants with a white tank top and a light blue jacket, Naruto slipped into black shoes and headed back in line.

Staring at the inmates in disgust, the head correctional officer, Asuma Sarutobi, stepped forward and began laying out the rules of the prison.

Lowering his gaze, all Naruto heard were echoes of the officer's grumble as his mind wondered off.

"Stop fussing over a little scratch. I was shot in my shoulder. I'm sure I'll live."

"You hasty fool, I told you to stay hidden."

"Shut up! Hadn't I moved it would be your funeral that I'd go to right no-… What is it?"

"Shhh… They're here."

"Already?! …AAh! Shit, watch it! What are you doing?!"

"Taking you away."

"…"

"There…hide here. Now!"

"Fuck, stop pushing me, little brat!"

"Shut up! Be quiet!"

"Whoa…Stop! Where do you think you're going?"

"I'll distract them."

"What?! Naruto, no! Get back here, right now!"

"Sorry, Kyuubi…"

"Hey!"

Naruto snapped back to reality when a black-jack abruptly pressed underneath his chin and forced him to look up at the black clad officer. "Do I make myself clear?" hissed the head officer, clearly demanding respect.

Naruto's eyebrows furrowed and he forced himself to answer an unknown question, "Yes… sir."

Restraining the urge to hit him with the stack, the officer settled with a glare and stepped away.

"Alright. Let's sort them in."

21:45

Getting nearly shoved into his cell, Naruto sent a glare over his shoulder to the closing bars and growling officers

"Face front, inmate!"

Scowling, Naruto turned away from them and finally took a good look at his new 'home-room'.

The cell was small; bunk-beds were placed to his right with a pathetic excuse for a toilet and a sink situated in the cell's farthest corners. Near the beds stood a small table that contained a bible and a used candle with a pack of cigarettes, a lighter and a simple digital-wristwatch.

Placing his garments and sheets on the bottom bed, Naruto glanced at his seemingly asleep companion at the top bunk, and reached over to flip a few pages of the bible. He blinked as a little paper suddenly slipped through its middle and fell. Collecting the square sheet from the floor, he studied the neat handwriten message on it - 'Love you forever Shika!'. Flipping it over, Naruto arch a curious brow seeing a photo of a beautiful long-haired blond girl being held by a smirking young-man.

"That's Ino. My girl." mumbled a lazy voice from the top bunk.

Turning quickly to the speaker, Naruto was met with sleepy half-lidded black eyes staring boringly at him from above.

Looking at the picture one more time, Naruto 'hm'-ed and placed it back where it came from, turning his attention fully to the man he guessed now went by the name of Shika.

By appearance, this man was everything that could describe the word 'slacker'. His expression bored, eyes sleepy, dark-brown hair tied into a high yet messy tail and, although his whole form was sprawled all other the bed like a lazy sack of potatoes, his body looked surprisingly well-built.

"Tsk, newbies are such a pain." sighing while mumbling to himself, the man reluctantly jumped off the bed and stretched out. "So… what's your name, fish?"

Sizing the man up and down, Naruto frowned as he appeared slightly taller than him. "It's Naruto."

"Hm… I'm Shikamaru." the man offered a handshake, silently noting that the blond had a firm grip for someone this... small-looking. "Sorry for the mess, if I knew I was going to host such a fragile-looking-being, I might have cleaned up this dump a bit." he spoke in jest while studying other's deep blue eyes and sun-spiked blond hair gracing the gorgeous face.

"Not one for labour are you?" scowling at the offence, Naruto still found himself smirking, feeling a little more comfortable with the man's presence. "Understandable I guess. Seeing as down time in prison can make one just as lazy as a sack of garbage."

A thin brown eyebrow rose up at the retort, but the man soon smirked as well and shrugged. "It's a pain but you don't see me complaining. There's nothing else to do here besides take your time."

"Aa…" grinning, Naruto set on the bottom bed while Shikamaru leaned against the wall in front of him.

"So… Naruto was it? What did you do?"

Understanding that as 'what have you been charged for', Naruto turned his head to look out through the bars at the other inmates in their cells on the opposite side.

"Murder."

Shikamaru blinked and looked Naruto over once more, finding it hard to believe that this little man could even harm an insect.

"What sentence?"

"Lifetime."

"And who did you murder so as to be confined in a place like this for such a long time?"

"Five members within the government." 'We screwed up on the sixth though.' silently Naruto thought to himself.

"However did you manage that?"

Looking back up at the man, Naruto searched his eyes before replying. "…I'm a sniper."

Shikamaru just stared till Naruto spoke again. "How 'bout you?"

"Thief. Been sentenced for five years. I have two more left."

Naruto jokingly nodded towards the bible. "Did you steal that girl over there?"

Huffing, Shikamaru crossed his arms just as one of the officers yelled out, "Lights-out, ladies! It's time for bed!"

"You could say that. Although it's more of a retrieval thievery." grabbing onto the side of his bed, the lazy man pulled himself up. "She was mine to begin with."

"Hm…" asking nothing more since the man seemed reluctant to explain further, not to mention had fallen asleep already, Naruto went about preparing himself for bed.

…

02:21

Tossing and turning from the irksome sounds scratching and grinding on his nerves, Shikamaru sat up with a groan and looked at his watch. "For fuck's sake." Rolling over, he glared at his new inmate, who turned off the sink tap and shook off his hands.

Turning around, Naruto blinked as he spotted the awakened 'slacker'. "Oh, hi Shikamaru. You awake already?"

Baring his teeth, Shikamaru hissed, "Weren't you making so much damn noise I might have still been asleep. Unless you've noticed, it's past two in the fucking morning!"

A light glint shone in the blue depths of his eyes before they closed and Naruto reached out to rub the back of his neck sheepishly. "Wari-wari! I'll try to be quieter while taking a leak."

"Yea, I bet…" sighing, Shikamaru turned back on his side and mumbled something before he fell back into slumber.

Hearing him resume snoring, Naruto's eyes slowly opened and bore at the mattress hanging above him, looking as if gazing straight through it at his appearing 'obstacle' standing between him and his plans. Bringing his hands up, he stared at the cut and torn skin on his fingers before turning his head further up and looking over the sink, where a loose screw hung by its lower side.
