"SHIT!" Everyone yelled out in unison. Even Iruka, who disapproves of cursing.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked. He had never known of others like Sasuke, and Sasuke never did anything strange, so he was confused.

"Has Sasuke ever gone through anything strange during this time?" Iruka asked as he started to fidget. Iruka was a very strong man, but so far, the only thing that has caused him fear are Naruto, Sakura, Kankuro, Temari, Gaara, Neji, Naruko, and Kyuubi.

Kakashi shook his head slowly, as to not to agitate his head. "No, he has just been more restricted and distant, but that's just because he has some bad memories. He always locks himself in his room, but that's normal for him."

"I see." Iruka kept fiddling with his shirt.

"Why does it matter? Does Naruto or any of the others act strangely?" Kakashi was getting closer to Iruka, and he crouched down to his level.

"Something like that." Temari answered for Iruka, seeing as he seemed too preoccupied to speak. She started to chew on her thumb as she thought of a way to explain. "When they're in those forms, some of the attributes are enhanced. Neji's superiority complex is enhanced ten fold, Gaara is even more secluded than normal, Sakura gets extremely temperamental, and Naruto is overly emotional." Kakashi was about to say something, but Temari raised her hand to stop him. "I'm not done yet. They are all also very aggressive, but Naruto is the most dangerous, that's why they stay locked up, because they have major mood swings and would bust the house if they got angry or upset." She took a breath before going on. "Neji's the oldest between them, so changes happened to him before the others. It turns out, that at sixteen; they go through 'heat.' They are extremely sexually frustrated and become very aggressive. Neji was the first, and Gaara's happened last year. Naruto's birthday is in a couple of days, and this lasts for about a week; but, now that Naruto is probably gonna go into heat, it will probably be longer. And Naruto is the most dangerous of them as well; I just hope Sasuke can hold up against him."

Kakashi took everything in for a moment, before he started to chuckle.

"What is wrong with you?" Iruka asked as he started to get annoyed by the silver haired man. Did he not know that Sasuke could possibly get raped?!

"It's just that Sasuke turned sixteen a couple of weeks before you guys moved here."

Kankuro was the first to see what he meant, and he busted out laughing. Temari was the second to put the pieces together, and she blushed madly. Iruka took the longest to figure it out, but when he did, he landed on the floor with a loud thud. Iruka can faint very easily.

Back With Naruto and Sasuke

"Sit!" Naruto cursed. "MOTHA FUCKIN' SHIT!" Naruto was scared beyond anything else. Lockdown means only one thing, well two now for him.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke yawned as he stretched to get up.

"Lockdown."

"What's that?" Sasuke sat up and headed over to Naruto and sat by him. After finding out that his little dobe is still alive, he felt the need to stay close to him.

"When this happens," he points towards his tails and ears, "we have a short amount of time before our hormones take over. Usually it's just anger and irritability, but two years ago, after Neji turned sixteen, his hormones went crazy with lust. We had to restrain him and lock him in a room for a week before it finally passed. Then last year, it happened again, except that time, it also happened to Gaara. So, we came up with the theory that at that period of time, after we turn sixteen, we would go into heat. And guess what?" Naruto looked over to him with an exhausted look in his yes.

Sasuke raised his eyebrow. "What?"

Naruto took a deep breath before speaking. "I'm turning sixteen in two days."

Sasuke's mouth took on the shape of an 'oh.' Then, something else dawned in his mind. "Do you think that I'll go in heat too?"

Naruto looked at him boredly, but clear curiosity in his eyes. "How old are you?"

"I turned sixteen a few weeks before you guys came here."

Naruto closed his eyes for a little while. "Probably."

'Crap!' Thought Sasuke. "How long do you think until we go into heat?"

"Don't know. Depends on who set off the signal."

Sasuke nodded his head in understanding. "I see." Sasuke then cupped Naruto's face with his hand and gently brought their lips together. Naruto was caught off guard at first, but Sasuke was being gentle, so he fell into the kiss. It was soft and sweet, as if they were cherishing each other. It didn't get heated, Naruto was left slightly breathless. Sasuke pulled back a little, but kept his face close to Naruto, locking their gazes together. "I missed you Naruto." Sasuke softly caressed Naruto's cheek with his thumb. Naruto leaned into his touch, and smiled softly at him.

"Me too Sasuke, me too." Naruto leaned up slowly and captured Sasuke's lips with his in a soft kiss filled with joy. Sasuke was starting to get into the kiss, and when Naruto threw his arms around Sasuke's neck, Sasuke wound his arms around Naruto's waist, pulling him close. Sasuke wanted to be closer to Naruto, so he pulled him flush against his body. It amazed him how soft Naruto's skin was. Not only was it a beautiful golden tan, but it was very soft, like a rose petal. Even though Naruto was the smaller of the two, he felt safe in Naruto's arms. He felt as if Naruto would always be there for him.

Their breathing was become shallow, but neither of the two would break the kiss. Neither opened their mouths, both feeling like it wasn't time yet. Both after a while decided to pull back so they each could get some air.

TapTapTap

Sasuke blushed lightly as Naruto looked around him to see what was making the tapping sound. He started to giggle when he saw that it was Sasuke's tail hitting the ground. His own tails were swooshing around as well, but at least they didn't wag like Sasuke's. Sasuke pouted slightly, and it was amazingly cute. One, Sasuke never pouts, and two, he looked adorable when he does. Especially with those tails and ears.

"Naruto?" Naruto settled down some and looked towards Sasuke.

"Yeah?"

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Naruto's tails stopped and so did Sasuke's. "Only if you tell me at least some of what happened to you."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment before nodding an ok.

"How about we ask some questions first, and see if that leads us to the rest." Sasuke nodded in agreement. "Alright, you ask first."

Sasuke thought for a moment before finally asking.

"Why is it that you mostly eat ramen?"
