THANK-YOU SO MUCH renee for reviewing!! I'm so happy! Now the chapters will get longer, and I also have to say something, Banyruu is a black fox. I didn't say in the 3rd chapter, so I'm telling you now. Anyways, now that I'm done, ENJOY!!

As we were running through the woods, I pondered about the fox demon. Banyruu, I was surprised, didn't kill any of the men that were hitting her. I wonder why? Probably not to make a scene I thought as we arrived back at the camp. I put the bag of food and herbs next to Kira's bag and I sat down. I saw Kira come out of the brush in her wolf form and sit down as well. After a few minutes of sitting and looking at the dead fire, Kira laid down.

"Could you wake me up in an hour or so?" she asked me.

"Sure," I said and watched her fall asleep in her wolf form. I then went back to pondering the fox demon. I knew my ex-friend, Naruto, had the 9-tailed fox demon sealed inside him, but I hadn't heard much of the 3-tailed fox demon. I knew that she was in the top 5 list of the most powerful demons in my world. She destroyed 82 villages and killed over 100,000 people before she was sealed inside a person, but who that was, I didn't have a clue.

Also another thought had entered my mind: What about Itachi? I could sense he was after Kira, but why? Maybe it was she could turn into a wolf; but if I stay with her, I'll be able to kill him when he comes to take Kira. That would be my plan, after that, I would leave Kira and go and find Naruto and Sakura. Since my ambition would be completed and all.

Naruto, was my best friend. He had yellow-blonde hair and wore an orange jumpsuit. He was always annoying and loved ramen. He tried to stop me from going to Orochimaru, but I left anyway. Sakura was a pink haired girl that was absolutely obsessed with me until I left the village and went to Orochimaru. She always wore a pink kimono with ninja sandals. I had already passed 3 towns when something happened. Next thing I knew, there were strange people everywhere I went. I really didn't like it.

I looked over at Kira and thought how she would take it after I left. What am I thinking!? I scolded myself, she doesn't care anyway. Then I noticed her ear swivel back.

"Someone's coming," she said without raising her head "And it isn't your brother." she said to me. She stood up looked toward the bushes. Then the man I saw last night and his partner stepped out and when they saw Kira, they stopped dead in their tracks.

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you, but we were wondering if you had seen anybody in these woods here lately," one replied and stepped up a little. He was the one that didn't want to go back last night.

"Well, who are you looking for?" I asked them, already knowing.

"A girl with brown hair and blue eyes, like the color of your dog's there," he said and pointed at Kira. I saw her stiffen, but she stayed where she stood.

"We believe she was wearing a jacket with a hood and a pair of jeans." the man finished.

"Sorry, but I haven't seen anyone around here looking like that." I replied and stood up. "It was nice meeting you though," I said and nodded my head. The guy nodded back but I could see the other one looking at something behind me. Crap! He probably saw her bag!

"Well, thank-you for your time sir," he said and turned around with the guy following behind him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crap I thought to myself, he saw my bag. He'll end up telling Brad and Julie because they were the one's who gave me that bag. We better head out soon.

"We need to leave soon," I said to Sasuke and turned to look at him.

"I know. Let's get our stuff together and we'll head out at dusk.

We left at dusk as planned and headed deeper into the woods. Hopefully they wouldn't come this deep in the woods for there were myths about strange creatures that were as big as three horses standing on top of each other. As we walked, I found it was easier to travel in wolf form than human form, so I changed back and trotted behind Sasuke.

As dusk turned to night, I caught some interesting smells. We were walking into other wolves' territory. I was more alert, listening and scenting the wind, making sure we wouldn't head straight into a pack. All of a sudden, I caught the smell of the pack to close for my liking.

"Sasuke," I said, but before I could finish my sentence, I saw wolves surrounding us. I immediately took a fighting position, but did not snarl. It was better to show these wolves that we meant no harm to them, but were just passing through. The leader, I suspected, stepped out of the trees and walked toward me. I could see Sasuke slowly reach into his pouch where I learned he kept his strange knives.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you human," replied the wolf. He was as black as night and had yellow-green eyes that didn't show any emotion what-so-ever. Sasuke was a little surprised, but removed his hand from his pouch and put it back down to his side.

"We mean you no harm. We are simply passing through," I replied, hoping Sasuke didn't just ruin our chances of leaving alive.

"So are you the wolf who can hide herself as a human?" the black wolf asked and looked at me with curiosity.

"What if I am?" I asked him and looked him straight in the eye looking for answers. How did he know who I was, and who spread the word? I asked myself.

"I'll take that as a yes. Why are you in this part of the woods?" he asked me and looked toward Sasuke, "And with a human?" he said with disgust in his voice.When he said that, it hit something deep inside me.

"So what if he is a human? What does it matter?" I asked him, growling a little. He saw he hit a sore spot and looked at me with even more curiosity than before.

"I'm sorry, we've just never had a human come to our territory and we don't really trust them," he replied, ignoring my growling. I stopped growling and looked at him.

"Then I guess you wouldn't mind if we just went along on our way now would you?" I asked him keeping my voice calm.

"I guess I wouldn't would I?" he asked me in a cocky voice and stepped back in the shadows of the trees and disappeared.

"Come on. Let's get out of their territory before they change their mind," Sasuke broke the silence and started to walk off. It took me a moment to comprehend what he had said; when I was finally able to move from the spot I was rooted to, I quickly followed after him.
