Chapter 13
There is something heavy in the air when the blackops comes into view.
Sakura wants to snarl at him, to run away or maybe throw kunai and senbon so he can’t follow her but she doesn’t do anything of the sort.
Obaba looks at her and there is a heaviness in her eyes, a sort of desperate mad desire to do something that stops Sakura in her tracks.
“Where’s the instructor?” She asks quietly, surprised when her voice does not waver.
The blackops hesitates—she sees it, she can always see it—and Sakura’s mouth sharpens into an edge.
“He’s dead.” The blackops tells her. “The monster killed him.”
There is a heaviness as she follows the blackops out the door. Confused panic threatens to choke her because—because—
She is the one they call kaijin.
And she didn’t kill him.
