It's funny that I always seem to finish a chappy then I start another one but stop partway through, like now 'cause I have to eat. lol.

And now it's about 5-6 hours since I wrote the last paragraph up there. lol again. That's really weird how that happens almost every time I write…

So anyway, Chapter 3.

Naruto's Body Switch

Chapter 3 – Busted!

--

"Man, I'm really glad that Sasuke sleeps when I take control of his body, it makes things easier." thought Naruto as Sasuke had just fell into a deep slumber, undisturbed until Naruto willingly gave control to him. "If Sasuke were to find out about that 'thing', I'd be so dead it's not even funny…ok fine it is seeing as I AM dead, so it's funny but stupid Uzumaki stop getting off topic!!" he yelled at himself.

"Ok," Kyuubi had made Naruto take his body to Sasuke's place so he could work on it there, closer to Sasuke and Naruto, because that is the only way Kyuubi can transfer into Sasuke's body; by being in a certain range of them.

That made Naruto happy.

He could do what he wanted when and where he wanted, as long as he was out of Sasuke's place. That was the range of Kyuubi's powers to transfer into Sasuke's body. As long as he was out of Sasuke's apartment, Kyuubi couldn't make a surprise visit.

The thought made Naruto even happier.

As he walked along, he thought of other things he could do. He decided to relax on a park bench. He closed his eyes in dreamy thoughts.

Not long after, a couple of girls came walking by. They were gossiping like mad.

"Y'know," said one of them, "We just learned in class today that after someone dies, it doesn't take long until it starts to decay."

Naruto's eyes burst open.

"Really?" the other girl said. "It must suck to be a dead person then. I feel sorry for my grandpa who passed away years ago. He must be only bones by now."

"Decay? Only bones? ROTTING?? ROTTING??? ROTTING???" thought Naruto. "My body will…decay soon? I've gotta talk to Kyuubi!"

--

"What do you mean you don't know how long my body will last?" Naruto shouted.

"Exactly what I said." Kyuubi replied.

"I don't want my body to decay!" Naruto started to weep. "Imagine: Sakura is walking along going to the market on an errand for her mother. Suddenly she stops cold. Why? BECAUSE SHE JUST GOT THE CRAP SCARED OUT OF OHER 'CAUSE THERE'S A DEAD-DECAYING BLONDY WALKING NOT 5 FEET AWAY!!! Then she figures out who it is. She walks up and asks, 'N-Naruto…is that you?' I reply, yes I'm the dead-decaying blondy, as I was saying, I reply, 'Hi Sakura, how are you today?' she says, 'Now there is a -100 chance of me ever going out with you.' I ask, 'What was it before?' she answers, '0.1.' She then continues on her errand."

"Naruto don't be stupid."

"You mean that I won't decay before you fix my body?" Naruto asked happily.

"That's not what I meant, Naruto." Kyuubi answered. "I meant why would I want to

imagine that? Stupid."

"WHAT?" Naruto yelled. "You can't possibly be so cold-hearted!"

"No, that's true. And just because it's true doesn't mean I'm not cold-hearted, it only means I'm not that cold hearted, meaning I will still tell you approximately how long it will take me."

"Really? Oh goody good! How long then?" Naruto jumped up and down.

"About…well I would tell you, but to tell you the truth I even don't know, your body is being stubborn so it could take from one month to 18 months, if things go really bad." Naruto's eyes started to water, and tears started to flow down his face.

"Kyuubi…" he said softly. "Usually I'm not scared of dying, and I would die if it meant I could save the life of someone I know…but dying like this just isn't right…dying of disease is wrong and I don't want to die that way! And I'd rather walk around half-decayed than die this way. But I also don't want to do that either…I want to die in battle, and if I am half-decayed I won't be able to fight, right?"

"Probably…"

"Well then I'd like you to kill me if you cant to that, got it, Kyuubi?" demanded Naruto.

"I can't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because…"

"Because why?"

"Naruto."

"Hn?"

"I wouldn't be able to kill you. I don't care if it meant I die too, if that still is in effect now that you're out of your body or not, I can't kill you because I care for you."

"Kyuubi…"

"…kidding, kid. If you really want me to kill you then…"

"SCREW YOU!" yelled Naruto. "You don't care anyway! That was just a BS speech! Good-bye and I don't care anymore if you fix my body in time or not! I'll just die!"

Naruto stormed out of the apartment, then came back in because he forgot Kyuubi was still in the same body as him. Kyuubi went back to Naruto's body as Naruto left. "That kid can't take a joke." He got ready to continue on fixing Naruto's body. "It was kind of harsh, though I suppose. Anyway, I should be finished his body soon. And it shouldn't start decaying if I keep it hydrated…though I still haven't figured out how to make this corpse drink…"

--

"Stupid Kyuubi…" thought Naruto. Suddenly he felt Sasuke start to wake up. "Guess that was another lie, seems like Sasuke can be awake when I'm controlling the body."

"Morning, Naruto." Said Sasuke. "I'd like my body back now."

"Sure whatever." Naruto replied as he said the 'line' he had to in order for Sasuke to control himself again. "G'night, Uchiha."

Sasuke felt Naruto's soul calm down, meaning he was sleeping. "He never sleeps when I first take my body over again. Weird."

Sasuke walked quietly along, it was now only a week until Kakashi was going to start training with them again. He had to figure out a solution, fast.

He suddenly heard Naruto start to mumble.

"Kiss me again, Sakura…" Naruto said in his sleep. His voice suddenly went high. "Sure Sasuke…I'll kiss you as much as you want…and more…"

"What is he talking about?" thought Sasuke as he waited for him to say more.

"Unh…" Naruto said. "I'm glad…Sasuke will never find out that I kissed Sakura when I looked like him…"

"WHAT???" Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks. "WHAT THE HELL??? IS WHAT NARUTO JUST SAID TRUE?" he thought of when Sakura was acting weird a while back. She had said she couldn't forget about something, she never really said what. "Could Naruto really have kissed her…and could that be what she was talking about? That would explain Naruto breathing so hard when she was talking to me then…he is so dead. HEY NARUTO!"

"Yeah, Sasuke?" Naruto awoke. "What's up?"
