I sooooooooooooo sorry! I've been REALLY busy! Just because it's summer doesn't mean I get a break. Babysitting little bro, selling art, buying new manga, setting up homeschool, GAH! And that's only half of it!

I'll try to update the next chappie sooner.

PG-13: Cussing, shonen-ai, light nudity in this chappie.

Pairings: SasuNaru.

Disclaimer: Nope. Naruto is not mine.

::Tail 4::

I opened my eyes. Water was dripping nearby. The place I was in was all dim and smelt weird. Oh, wait. I know this place.

I was inside, where I could talk to Kyuubi.

Not much time later, I found his cage. He snapped a paw out at me. I jumped back and fell flat on my butt, squishing one of my tails painfully.

"What the fuck are you doing?!"

"Trying to hurt you, dobe." He hissed the word 'dobe'. I cringed.

Standing up, I yelled again, "I meant the tail business!" I turned around and waved my butt at him, all the while my four tails waving at twice my speed. (A/N: Did that make sense? Oh well.)

He laughed. The laughter rang off the walls, hurting my ears. "That? That is nothing. I can do worse. That is just a little prank."

"Prank?" I turned back to face him and nodded my head to the side. "... Wha...?"

"You dumb blonde!" He snapped, "Let me let you in on something. I want out. I must get out of here. We're switching places. You. Are. Becoming. ME!"

With that yell, he shot his jaw out between the bars. He missed me, barely.

"Now, because of your insolence, dobe, I have already cut the time in half, and I'll do it again. From 24 hours to 12 hours. 12 to 6. But your 6 hours are almost up, soon to be 3. Get ready!"

A bright flash of light. A yell. Laughter. The next thing I knew I was laying in a soft bed. I opened my eyes and saw Sasuke above me.

"What?" I said grouchily. He still looked upset, but a flash of joy passed by his face.

"Oh, your awake. Good." Sasuke sighed and turned away.

I glared. "That's it! That's all you can say! I've been unconscious for some time—"

"Five and a half hours." He interrupted. I ignored him.

"—and you could care less for me; your teammate; your friend." I stopped.

"Friend?" I could hear sarcasm rising in his voice, "Oh, yay, I have a friend now. But I don't care about them. Boo hoo."

"Sasuke, stop you're scaring me. Hey, wait. Did you say five hours?"

"Five and a half, why?"

My breath froze in my throat. I shivered, remembering what Kyuubi said.

I reached out and grabbed Sasuke's collar. He jumped back with me latched on. We fell to the ground. Yet again, I was on top of Sasuke.

I couldn't help it. Even if this is a serious moment, you would laugh to if Sasuke starting blushing.

"What, dobe?" He growled.

"Hahaha, well," I stopped laughed but kept smiling, "Kyuubi told me some things. And my next tail will happen in half an hour, I think."

Sasuke raised and eyebrow. My smile left. Oh shit!

"Half an hour! I don't wanna experience that pain again. That hurt!" I began to speak gibberish really fast. I was freaking out.

Sasuke did the unthinkable. He lifted his head up and kissed me. I know he has before but this was different. This one I gave into.

Sasuke leaned his head back down. "Ok, Naruto. Now calm down. So you have a half hour before that happens again. But I'm here."

"And so am I."

We both looked up. Tsunade stood in the doorway.

"Hey Tsunade-baba." I said plainly.

"I'm not sure if I should say how wrong that looks, considering your ages, boys." She laughed. We blushed. I got off of Sasuke.

"How much did you hear?" I growled.

"Enough," She grinned, "Don' worry. I won't tell your secret with Sasuke. I leave that up to you two to tell. (A/N: Ouch! How do you say that? My tongue is tied.) But, I will help you with the tails."

"You will?" I said, wagging all four tails happily.

She nodded, "But, you will have to be awake when it happens."

"Why?" I asked.

"Dumbass." Sasuke said as he stood up, "While you were unconscious we tried to get rid of the tails but Kyuubi's chakra kept stopping us."

"Sasuke's right. We need you to be awake for this. You have to stay in control."

"Oh maaannn." I sighed and flopped back onto the bed. Sasuke sat down next to me. Tsunade stayed in the doorway.

.

We passed the time with talking about what to do. I really didn't want to be in this conversation.

But, it all ended. The pain started up. Flaring fire like pain from the tip of each tail all throughout my body. I gasped in pain.

All the while, in my head I heard two voices. Kyuubi's laughter and my own, saying, "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow."

"Naruto hold still!" Tsunade yelled and she pulled my pants down. Normally I would kill her, but right now.... ow.

I squirmed. It hurt. I could hear Tsunade and Sasuke yelling. But their voices sounded very far off.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

2 painful, tail-splitting minutes later it ended.

I now had five tails and a very sore ass.

.

I felt the cool air around my still bare rear. I wagged my tails limply, the new one moving faster than the rest.

I sighed, cursing the Kyuubi. I hate him!

My thoughts turned to when Sasuke had said, "I love you", I am still recovering from the shock. What scares me most is that I love him too, but I'm too afraid to admit it.

A knock at the door.

I didn't answer.

The door opened. It was Sasuke.

"What do you want?" I turned to look at him.

He kept his face expressionless. "I just came to check up on you."

"I'm fine. Now get out."

He shrugged, but I could see the hurt in his eyes. "By the way, dobe, nice ass."

I blushed and pulled up my pants. I jumped out of the bed to attack him, but my ass hurt too much. So I fell flat on my face.

I heard Sasuke laugh.

Yeah, very funny.

TBC....

That was hard. I'll try to add more funny.

I re-read this story and nearly peed my pants in laughter. I wrote this?!

In case you get (or have gotten confused), the tails started coming every 24 hours. But the time gets cut in half each tail now. 24, 12, 6, 3. It will change a little after that. (Or at least this is my plan.)

A BIG THANK YOU TO CAT FOR GIVING ME THE "KYUUBI PLAYS PRANK" IDEA!

Now everyone should give her a big hug, because she saved my story. Lol. Thank yooooooooouuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shiomi: He didn't really let him. So many things had happened. What would you have done?

PuNkRoCkBuNnY182: Yeah, I bet that hurt too. Of course Naruto's pain is funny. I don't know why, but it is.
