Sacrificial Bonds
CHAPTER TEN
A Visit From Team Seven
There was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Mari called. She flung the door open.
"AAUURRGGHH!!" She screamed. "NARUTO-CHAN! SAKURA-SAN! SASUKE-KUN! KAKASHI-SAN!"
Naruto blinked. "She's even more hyper then me…" He muttered, as Mari let them in, babbling happily.
"What are you doing here?" Baki asked, as he, Kai, Kankuro and Temari came in.
"I could ask the same thing of you…" Kakashi replied. "You know that you're not supposed to be here..." He looked around. "Where are Garaa and that other girl?"
Garaa watched as Emma aimed punch after punch at the piece of wood. Although her hands were bloodied and bruised, she continued her onslaught.
Garaa watched with satisfaction as Emma counted, unawares that the others had just come down to the training basement.
"One thousand two…one thousand three…" She counted.
"Emma-San?" Kankuro said.
"One thousand five…what? Oh, hi guys…" Emma lowered her fists. The blood dripped to the floor, but Emma barely noticed.
"Are you the one known as Emma-San?" Kakashi asked her.
Emma nodded. "Yes. How'd you know...???" She gasped, and her and Garaa's eyes widened in shock. "It was Zaku or Neji! But which one?" Emma wondered.
Garaa shut his eyes briefly, before opening them to glare at everybody (of course...)...
Emma worked it all out. "Neji told Li told Sakura – Neji also told Hinata told Naruto – TOLD KAKASHI! GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS THEY TOLD! THIS IS SHIT! I'M DISCOVERED!"
Kakashi raised a hand to quiet her.
"Even if they hadn't, I could tell from your high levels of Chakra on out first meeting." He narrowed his eyes (well, we assume he narrowed both of them, don't we, but we can only see one of them...) and looked at her. "Are you a shinobi?"
Emma shook her head. "No, Kakashi-San. I am...just in training to be a ninja, like Mari and Kai."
"And," Mari chirped up. "Emma-Chan beat Zaku and Neji, and she almost beat Sabaku No Garaa as well! She's awesome!"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow (the visible one...) and said: "Neji and Zaku didn't mention that..." He sighed. "This could be a problem..."
"You're able to beat Neji?" Sasuke stepped forward and stared at Emma.
And when Emma nodded, Sasuke said: "Emma-San...fight me..."
Emma sighed. "Oh boy, here we go again."
(She literally thrashed Sasuke...)
