I can't help being late this time. School. School is starting for me and for many of you out there and I've got it rough for a beginning.

As a sorry for being late, there is a hopefully funny (and short) little skit thingy I made up, at school, at the very very end. So please, read it after the story.

Sorry for the shortness of the chapter.

PG-13: Cussing, shonen-ai

Pairings: SasuNaru.

Disclaimer: Yeah, like I own Naruto.

::Tail 8::

"I can't breathe. Sasuke, let go." I said between attempts to breathe as Sasuke had both his arms clung tight around me. One of his hands had earlier, forced, my head at the base of his throat, where the neck meets the collar. I felt Sasuke's breath in my hair. Each breath calmly going in and calmly going out. He was asleep. And I could not breathe.

"Let go." I growled. My ears curled back. I tried to act as threatening and scary as I could, but it wouldn't wake Sasuke. Or was he just faking.

I put my hands – paws – up against his chest and pushed off. It worked... slightly. He let go of me and turned over with a satisfied yawn.

Now all I got to do is wake him before my fifteen minutes are up. (A/N: Remember, Naruto only has 15 minutes till the 9th tail.) I really want him to be awake when it happens. I'm afraid. I still have Kyuubi's warnings, of myself transforming into him, in my head. And I DO NOT want that.

"Waaaake uuup!" I yawned in his ears. The yawning wasn't quite intentional but it might work.

Nope.

WHY WON'T HE WAKE UP?!

Aren't ninjas trained to wake at the slightest sound? My hearing tells me I've more than enough of that sound.

"Dammit, Sasuke. You bastard." One of my tails made its way to him, ready to poke. Poke, poke, poke, poke. I managed to get a reply from the strong silent jerk.

He shuddered.

Hmm, this gives me an idea.

Are you ticklish?

I began to poke him again, but this time, with two tails to double my poking power.

A minor giggle.

You are.

Whispering, seductively and almost victoriously, "Sasuke IS ticklish."

I sat on the bed, cross-legged, pulled Sasuke in my lap, and began my attack. With four tails tickling on each side and using my hands too, Sasuke woke in tears of laughter.

"Haha! Stop! Stop it! Haha! I'm awake now! Hahaha! Ok! Stop! Haha! STOP IT!" With the final cry, he pushed me off of him. The force of the push was too strong, causing me too fall off the bed. I gripped tight onto Sasuke. Before my butt touched the floor my mind came to an idea. I would use the springy technique I came up with before.

I curled all of my tails up quickly and shut my eyes tight.

I heard a yell, a boing, and a loud oof.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that Sasuke was now beneath me.

I started to speak, laughing a bit, "Sorry, 'bout that, I was just testing it out, and..."

I wasn't able to finish my sentence when Sasuke propped himself up on his elbows locked his lips over mine. I blushed lightly and stopped talking for a moment.

"Mm, Sasuke?"

"Yes?"

"My stomach hurts."

"Lovely."

I laughed. "No, it hurts really. It's getting really hot in here, too."

"Oh, well I know why." He tried to resume kissing me by pinning himself at my neck. I pushed him away.

"NO! This is serious. I think it's been fifteen minutes. My ninth tail that will finalize all this fox stuff is gonna happen. Sasuke, I don't know what to do." I spoke in fear.

Sasuke said lightly, "Don't worry. I doubt it'll be too bad."

How can he be so calm?

Ow.

What the—?

Ow, ow.

My butt. Ow!

Tail!

"Sasuke! The numbing stuff isn't working!" Was the last thing I could remember saying.

Next thing I know, I see Sasuke back away slowly, my body curled in a tiny ball as his feet. A deep orange glow is surrounding my body. I see my last tail making its way in.

Suddenly, the fox features of my body began to attempt outshining the orange with a beautiful red. The ears, paws, front canines, and tails were all shining a brilliant red.

My eyes opened slowly. I sat up. Rubbed my eyes with my official paws. Then looked around for Sasuke. He was still in front of me.

"Hey. I'm tired." I said sleepily.

"That's ok, Naruto."

"I don't look any different, do I?"

"No, you don't."

"Then why are you staring at me so weirdly?!" I yelled. Sasuke had been looking deeply into my eyes like they weren't there or something.

He paused, "I'll tell you in the morning. Let's just sleep."

"Fine, but this time, can I sleep without you choking me?" I joked.

He smiled, "Yeah, sure."

We walked over to the bed. Sasuke looked at me and said, "Ladies first."

I glared at him, "What did you—?!"

Before I was able to say anything else, to pushed me onto the bed. He laid himself down next to me, face-to-face.

"Have I ever said I love you?" He kissed my lightly on the cheek.

"Yes, now let me sleep." I turned away from him with a smile knowing he would wrap an arm around me in three...

Snore.

Two...

.....

One...

There goes the arm around my waist. I weaved my tails like a wall between him and me and fell asleep easy; happy.

.

I woke up in later that night with Sasuke breathing down my neck. He does that on purpose, I swear!

Oh well, nature calls.....

While washing my hands, I look in the mirror and spot something different about my face I hadn't seen in the mirror before. Well, I hadn't seen my ears, they are cute. Or my nice sharp teeth. Hey, wait a sec.

Why. Are. My. Eyes. Not. Blue!

MY EYES ARE RED!

Oh shit.

Don't worry, one more chapter. It'll be the last, the conclusion, sorta. And hopefully, I'll have it done in way less time than this one. It may be longer than this one.

And now. The stupid little thingy I made in school while getting bored outta my mind form the teachers. We're learning American history, starting with Indians. And the teacher started going on and on about how the Native Americans got their names. This gave me this idea.

(If this offends anybody, I apologize.)

There's a Native American (NA) at a bar and he's talking to the bartender (B). (Stuff in italics is what they do.)

NA: Hullo. Sips his alcohol

B: Hello. Washes a dish

NA: I am Cutting The Cheese. Smile

B: Great. Thinks the guy is either weird of drunk

NA: No really, I am Cutting The Cheese.

B: That's lovely. Looks away

NA: Hey! Loud voice

B: Yessir. Looks back

NA: Stands up I said, 'I am Cutting The Cheese'!

B: Well, that's nice. Could ya do it somewhere else please?! Turns and walks away

NA: Looks confused

R&R One chapter left. Bye.
