Sorry about that cliffy, especially since I haven't updated recently (recently as in FOREVER!!!). But on to chapter 4!

Naruto's Body Switch
Chapter 4 –
--
"What's up, Sasuke? Why'd you have to wake me up?" inquired Naruto.
"WHAT THE HELL?" he yelled. "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, NARUTO? I FOUND OUT ABOUT YOUR LITTLE KISS!"
"Uh oh…"
"YEAH UH OH! YOU ARE DEAD MEAT, FREAK!" Sasuke ignored everyone staring at him, he actually didn't even notice. "YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING, FREAK!"
"You see, Sasuke…" Sasuke waited to listen to Naruto's excuse, which he knew was going to be lame.
"She kissed me!" Naruto said finally.
"Oh yeah," thought Sasuke, forgetting that Naruto could hear all his thoughts, "lame."
"That is no excuse, Sakura would never kiss you!" he yelled back at Naruto.
"No, but she'd kiss you." He replied.
"Oh yeah…" thought Sasuke, "Hehe, we're sharing my body, hehe…"

Sakura was walking slowly through small crowds along the street that the Ichiraku ramen shop was on. She saw Sasuke sitting at the ramen shop, and went to talk to him.
"Hi, Sasuke!" she greeted him happily.
"Hi, Sakura," It was Sasuke controlling his body, "would you like something?" Sasuke had just ordered his ramen.
"Can I eat with you?"
"Sure."
She ordered some ramen, and they ate together.
"Sasuke," she said not long after they started eating, "normally you just shoo me off or leave, what's up? Why did you let me eat with you."
"Well, I've been thinking…" he replied.
"Hehe, you don't think, Sasuke!" thought Naruto, who was awake, enjoying the taste of the beef ramen way more than Sasuke, who was actually eating it.
Sasuke thought an insult at Naruto before he continued, "I thought about what Kakashi-sensei said when he passed us to become genin. We passed because of teamwork, right?"
"Right, but what does that have to do with letting me eat with you?" inquired the pink haired kunoichi.
"Well, I wanted to get closer to the both of you; you and Naruto." He replied, thinking of how close he actually was to Naruto. "I've gotten closer to Naruto, so I thought it best if I can get closer to you."
"That's sweet, Sasuke!" she ate the rest of her ramen blissfully, not asking any more questions or even speaking a word.
"Thanks for eating with me." Said Sasuke as they prepared to leave, because it was getting dark out.
"No thank you, Sasuke! Thanks for paying for me, too."
"No problem, any time." He replied and they parted with a smile.
"That was mushy." Thought Naruto to Sasuke. "Do you like Sakura now? Or is this just an act."
"Nah, not an act," he thought back, "I really think that. Plus it would be kind of mean to get so 'close' to you and leave her out, you know?"
"Yeah I guess. I'm just pissed she didn't mention me, though." He thought.
"Haha, burn dude."
"Shut up."
"Hehe…let's go sleep. Kyuubi said that the body needs sleep too, so let's go sleep the night away, dude!" thought Sasuke.
"I laugh at the fact that we're sleeping together!" Naruto thought, laughing.
"Are you gay or something? Anyway, it's only technically sleeping together, not actually."
"Yeah, whatever. And no, I'm not gay."

A few days later, Kyuubi explained that he wouldn't be able to fix Naruto's body in time for them to go back and train with Kakashi in a few days, and that it would be best to tell him, and that he would understand.
They flipped a coin to see who would be the one to tell, and it ended up as Sasuke.
--
"Hi, sensei." He approached his sensei, who sat under a tree reading. He might have been half asleep also.
"Hi, Sasuke. What would you like? Training doesn't start for another three days." Kakashi sat up to talk to his student.
"Well, I have a problem…"
"With love?" Kakashi popped up and stood by Sasuke. "It's alright, she'll come to you with time."
"Not with love, sensei! Just listen!" he began to explain, "you see, Naruto died." Kakashi's eyes opened with that comment. "Kyuubi transferred Naruto's soul to my body, along with his own. Kyuubi is in the process of fixing Naruto's body as we speak, but he said it might take another two weeks at least."
Kakashi looked seriously at Sasuke, possibly thinking Sasuke was kidding.
"I'm serious, sensei."
"Oh, I believe you. But this is a problem, one that has to be attended to right away. How did Naruto die?"
"Disease."
"That's why Kyuubi is 'fixing' Naruto's body." He scratched his chin. "Where is the body?"
"My apartment."
"Does it let off…and odor of sorts?"
"No, not at all."
"Is Kyuubi keeping the body hydrated?"
"Not sure."
"Take me there, I'd like to speak with Kyuubi."
"Alright."
--
"Two weeks at least, huh?" Kakashi said after their conversation.
"That's what I said."Replied Kyuubi, who had taken over Sasuke's body to talk to Kakashi.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" offered their sensei.
"Well, yes. I've been managing so far, but I need to keep the body hydrated." Explained Kyuubi. "And that's sort of hard by myself. So, if everyday at the times I specify, you come over and pour x amount of water into Naruto's mouth, I'll make it go in. But…I can't really do that by myself."
"I could try."
