((A.N. FINALLY I post this! It's been over a year since I updated! So here you guys are! After months of saying 'I'll finish this next Halloween', I finally finish it! From here on, things WILL get stranger and maybe even scarier if you don't serial killers in bunny suits.))

"Scary story! Scary story! Scary story!" Naruto chanted, banging his fists on his lap with the rhythm of his voice, "Scary story! Scary stor-"
"DUDE!" Shikamaru barked, "we're waiting on YOU."
"Oh." Naruto looked at his shoes and shut up.
"Go on then." Kiba nodded, "We're ready to be 'scared'"
"You better be ready, I'm not joking when I say I'll scare the living shit out of ya." Shikamaru's tone was unbelievably dark. This made the group uneasy.
"Is this worth it?" Sakura asked.
"YES." Shikamaru stated sharply.
Naruto shivered and adjusted his fox ears. "nyeh, just tell the story."
Shikamaru cleared his throat and sat up, "Alright. This is the legend of The Bunny Man."
Kiba snorted in laughter, "Really?"
Choji covered his ears, "He's not kidding. That's what they call him." He whimpered.
Ino raised an eyebrow, "uhm, Choji? Are you alright?"
"I hate this… I hate it!" Choji huffed, curling into a ball.
Kiba scowled, "Already?"
"I know this story, the Bunny Ma-"
"Choji. I know more about this than you do. Let me go on." Shikamaru hushed the pudgy kid, "Now, I must say that this is all based on true events recorded by Konoha police."
Then the lean boy truly began.
" 18 years ago on October 25th around 9 PM near Hitoruku, Konoha, a bus carrying 13 mental patients from Konoha's mental hospital skidded and flipped off the road; crashing into the woods. Police were right on the scene to find 12 patients dead on the scene, laying on broken glass with wounds everywhere. One man had made it out alive so the police began to look for him. After 2 days, they assumed he died and stopped searching. But a few days later, people started finding the carcasses of rabbits around this here clearing and apparently the mental patient was living in the woods and surviving off of the meat of the rabbits."

The entire group shuddered except Kiba.
"Sounds fun." the fanged boy chuckled.
"Ugh, Kiba." Ino scowled at him.
Shikamaru continued,"That's pretty much the way it stayed until the morning after Halloween when some teenagers around our age were found completely gutted and hanging from the trees around us. Their blood was still warm and one of the boys had been decapitated."
Sakura put a hand over her mouth and Naruto looked up and around frantically, "N-no way!" he gulped, "That's gross!"
Shikamaru nodded, "Yep. That morning, the local authorities put out a manhunt for "the Bunny Man," as everyone started calling him and eventually, they caught up with him. He was wearing a blood soaked bunny costume and he carried a fireman's axe. And some people say he was missing part of his arm but I honestly think that's all a myth."
"This whole thing is a myth! C'mon, dude!" Kiba yowled, "Y'all believe this bunny bullshit?"
Ino, Sakura and Naruto looked at Kiba with wide eyes. Choji was trembling in a ball so he couldn't.
"Bunny. Bullshit. Y'hear me?" Kiba repeated, "Did they put him in handcuffs and walk 'im into a cruiser like on cop shows?" he chuckled.
Shikamaru shook his head side to side, "Ah, Kiba. I knew you'd do this…" he cleared his throat and went on, "Well, the cops were about to apprehend the Bunnyman, but he jumped in front of a train that was coming down the tracks and it carried him on the front for a while before Bunnyman fell on the tracks and was run over. Since then, it is said that the Bunnyman's spirit haunts his favorite clearing here and usually it becomes a solid on Halloween night. So basically, his spirit returns and physically walks up to teenagers on Halloween."
"D-does he-" Naruto stammered, "Gut 'em?"
"Well… do you guys remember Kohru Matakami?" Shikamaru asked.
Ino jumped on the matter, "Y-yeah! I remember that news story… he was stabbed to death by his drunk Dad, right?"
"Nope. They just want you to think he got beaten by his Dad." Shikamaru said, "He was really found gutted in this clearing; similar to how the kids were 18 years ago. The police vowed not to say it was the Bunnyman because they didn't want everybody to freak out over it like they'd done after 16 years of no talk of the Bunnyman."
"So how do you know?" Kiba crossed his arms.
"Asuma's really good friends with a retired police man who caught Bunnyman by the tracks…" Shikamaru replied, "He told Choji and I the story last month. And if you've guys have noticed, Choji can't bear to hear it again. Right Choji?"
Choji lifted his head up from between his knees, "what?"
"Bunnyman."
"AAAH!" Choji covered his eyes and ears again, "We're not gonna look for him, are we?"
Shikamaru rubbed his neck, "We could, but…"
"NO. We CANT. We have precious LIVES." Naruto yelled.
Kiba started to laugh, "Not you, Blondie!"
"We're NOT going to find Bunnyman's spirit! We're leaving the clearing!" Naruto jumped up, Sakura did too.
Kiba looked at Ino who was still sitting.
"I want to hear the rest of the story." The blonde girl stated.

((A.N. Yep. The Bunnyman IS a real story. The actual thing happened in Virginia. I DID change some dates, names and of course, locations to fit the whole Naruto thing. Blah blah blah, R & R. The next chapters will be pretty creepy... but still hilarious as usual!))
