Sacrificial Bonds
CHAPTER NINE
How Wicked…
Although Emma was the strongest, Kai and Mari could fight as well, and were getting stronger.
Temari approached Garaa and Baki about this.
"Why are we training them, if we're just gonna kill them?" She asked.
Kankuro's head snapped up.
"The Moon God needs strong offerings; otherwise he won't be resurrected with his full powers." Baki replied.
"I doubt that Mari and Kai would be strong enough, regardless." Garaa added. "But maybe Emma…"
Kankuro stood up. "You can't kill Emma!" He snapped. "I don't care about the other two! But leave Emma out of this!"
Temari shook her head. "Little Brother, it's the only way…"
"I DON'T CARE!" He yelled. "IT CAN'T HAVE HER!"
Garaa stood up too, and raised his hands.
"If you try to warn her," Garaa said. "Then I will kill you…"
And he meant it, too. He'd waited far too long to destroy more lives in this way. And by merging with the Moon God…
Kankuro was pale.
