It had been two weeks since the meeting with Kyuubi. The blonde Genin was now figuring out how to deal with the first changes in him,the Kyuubi caused.

Flashback

The smell of ramen permeated the air. Naruto was drooling on his pillow eating the imaginary dish.

"Pork Ramen you're so delicious, aww, don't run away. "He tossed and turned trying to catch up with the flying Ramen bowl.

"Noo! come back Ramen!"

He blinked and looked around his apartment no ramen in sight except for the empty cups. Naruto sniffed the air trying to find where Ichiraku's Ramen scent was coming from. He followed it to his open window. His ears twitched and he could swear he heard old man Teuchi's laugh. Drooling with a lusty expression, he jumped up on the window seal with feline grace which the klutz had never possessed before. Just as he was about to jump he caught his reflection.

Ahhh! "Whhaa"

He tumbled to the floor, sprawled out, one foot caught on the bed. The number one knuckle headed ninja ran to the bathroom.

His ears were now four inches up and covered in light blonde fur a shade lighter than his hair. The whisker marks on his cheeks were darker and his cerulean blues were now amethyst the pupils slits. The greatest change however was the bushy blonde fox tail swooshing behind him. His new looks stunned the loudmouth ninja,for once, speechless. It would take him four hours to figure out he could cover it with a genjutsu.

"There, the old naruto grinning back at him, now as long as I don't run into a Hyuuga nobody will find out."

'Take that you old fuzz-ball', Naruto thought as he pumped his fist in the air.

Now onto more important things, Ichiraku's here I come.

Flahback ends

Now,

"Blahhh,cough,ahh"

"oh kami what did I eat?" It had never been so bad, even when he ate that grapefruit that time.

He had been waking up to the toilet for the last week. Every morning he'd have to rush out of bed to relieve his stomach of its contents. His throat burned and his stomach churned. Just thinking of the bile in his throat made him go green. Even the great Ramen made him turn tail and run to the nearest toilet, trashcan, and pillowcase,that one time he couldn't make it out of bed, he could find. Then last night he started to break out in cold sweats.

"I'll be fine, just got to make it to lunchtime." at the mention of 'lunch' he was bowed over the toilet seat yet again.

The day went on like that until Naruto noticed what time it was and had to make a run for the bridge as not to be late to the team meeting. Team 7 was all assembled except for everybody's favorite Cyclops sensei and a certain blonde loudmouth.

"I'm here,clutching his chest he tried to catch his breath,on time."he looked up from beneath his messy mop of sunshine colored hair.
"Right,Sakura-chan?"

"You're late dobe,Sasuke scowled,what were you doing sleeping late again?"

"I didn't ask you,teme,Naruto spat venomously,I asked I've never over slept before,in fact I'm usually here first."he ground out.

"Oh,really I remember you rushing in late on the wave mission,or did you ramen stewed brain's last brain cell finally died out?"

Sasuke smirked looking down on his smallest teammate.

"I also remember you needing me come charging in to save your ass!"

"And we remember how that went"Naruto flinched back,the memory of Sasuke full of Haku's senbon,flashing through his mind.

He gripped the side of the bridge as another wave of nausea hit."Naruto are you alright?"

He looked up at Sakura,"I'm fine Sakura-chan,were you worried about me?"Thanks so much"He launched himself at the pink haired she could even move out of the way he had his arms around her neck nuzzling her neck with a soft cheek.

"N-nnarruto?"'she'd noticed he was off today,even his cheer filled smile seemed plastered he be sick?'

"ppuurrrr" 'Was he purring?'True to the blossom's name Sakura turned a light pink.
"Get off you goof b-ball!"she pouted for a second before another smile spread across his face as he rubbed the back of his head,"Sorry 'bout that Sakura-chan",he laughed.
