Second Chapter.. hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

"The Forest is cursed.", they say. "Don't go there, unless you want to die.", they warn.
"Demon Forest", so they called that area near Konoha.

Many stories were told about that certain forest. Stories about the demon who lived there.
Stories about the criminals, who tried to flee through that forest and were later found dead outside of it.
Then there where the stories about the Hokage and the reason why he went to the forest every 2 weeks.
They said that he was the one, who imprisoned the demon there and that he controlled if he still was.
Others, who didn't like the Sandaime for some reason, said, that he made a deal with the demon.
But.. every story had one commoness... They all said: "Don't go there! It doesn't matter, why you should think about going there.. don't ever go into that forest."

For the children, it seemed like the Demon Forest was there forever. They didn't know that it wasn't more then 6 years ago,when they talked abot the Demon Forest the first time. They didn't know the true story behind it either. And so...
they thought, that it wasn't more then a myth, a old legend, not more. But they were still intelligent enough not to go there...
at least.. most were.

Team 8 was in deep shit. Or at least what could be Team 8, if they made it back to their sensei in time... which seemed to become more and more unlikely.
They had to find some scroll and bring it back to their jounin instructor Kurenai in a time span of 4 hours as their final genin test. Unfortunately they needed to go around Demon Forest to do that...
and they ran out of time.

'If we just could go direct through the forest we would make it... hey, wait... why don't we actually do that? I mean... they are just some old stories, right?', Kiba thought.

"Stop!", Kiba shoutet and they halted.

"What is it Kiba? We don't have time."

"Sh-... Shino's righ-... right Ki-... Kiba."

"We won't make it in time, if we continue this way... but there is still on way for us to pass this test."

"What way?"

Kiba grinned. "Through the forest naturally." And with those words he and Akamaru dashed towards the forest.

"Ki-... Kiba, wait! Th-.. Tha-... That's for-.. for-... bidden!"

"That baka... we can't let him go alone through. Come Hinata."

"H-.. Hai.", said Hinata crestfallen.

And so they followed Kiba into the shadows of the forest, unaware of the pair of slitted red eyes, which observed them.

'Now, thats interesting.'
