The next morning, Lee and Keiko made sure to wake up early, so they could sneak out of the house without getting caught. When Keiko and Lee went to Guy-Sensei's house to eat breakfast, Guy-Sensei gave some advice to Keiko about going into The Forest of Death.
"Keiko, sleep in shifts. Anyone or anything or attack your squad at anytime. And take these food pills with you. Your team will need them," Guy told Keiko.
"Thanks Guy-Sensei," Keiko said as she took the food pills from him. Lee smiled and wrapped his arm around Keiko's waist. Keiko laid her head against Lee and sighed happily.
"Hmm the power of youth is at work," Guy proudly said to Lee. Lee smiled and kissed Keiko.
"Well, we have to go now," Keiko told Guy as she stood up. Lee agreed with Keiko as he stood up as well. Keiko gave Guy-Sensei a hug and thanked him for the breakfast. As they left Lee gave Keiko a jealous look.
"Lee, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Keiko asked. Lee sighed.
"Well, you, uh, hugged Guy-Sensei," Lee told Keiko. Keiko could tell he was upset.
"Lee, I was thanking him for breakfast and the food pills. You're the only man for me. I promise," Keiko told Lee. Lee smiled and hugged Keiko. Keiko hugged Lee back and they continued to go to The Forest of Death.
When they got there, Keiko's team mates were already there waiting for her. Keiko signaled that she would meet them in a second and turned back to Lee. Lee hugged Keiko and gave her a kiss.
"It'll be alright Keiko. Just listen to all the advice you got, and you'll be fine. I promise," Lee told Keiko. Keiko was crying.
"Yeah, you make these promises, but how can you keep them," Keiko told Lee. "I'm going to miss you, a bunch." Lee held Keiko until she stopped crying, Then Keiko gave Lee a kiss and ran off to meet her team mates.
"Hey Keiko! Are you ready for this part of the exam?" Botan asked her. Keiko nodded and split the food pills among her, Botan, and Hiroshi.
"What are these for?" Hiroshi asked Keiko. Keiko explained that they were food pills and that it would be hard to find food in The Forest of Death, so they would have to eat those. Keiko's team mates thought that was a good idea. Then they thought out some plans on how to get through the forest. When they were done with their plans, they were interrupted.
"Listen up pipsqueaks! I'm Anko. You need to come over to this stand and pick up a scroll! After you pick up your scroll, I need your teams to head over to the gate they're assigned! Does everyone understand me?" Anko yelled out. Nobody said anything, so the teams starting getting their scrolls.
After Keiko's team received their scroll and they went off to their assigned gate. After what seemed to be a long wait, they were let into the forest for the second part of the exam.
