TMNT Love Story

* I do not own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at all.*

Ch.1- First encounters and meetings

There. I spotted them. Green flashes up and across the rooftops of the New York buildings, looking for some action to practise their many years of Ninjitsu. Fighting the crime caused by the Purple Dragons and their high and mighty boss, Shredder. They are named after four world famous artists and each wears a different coloured headband that symbolizes who they are. The oldest and leader of the group goes by the name of Leonardo or Leo for short. He is a stronger fighter and is almost always one step ahead of the enemy. He is very loyal and caring, which is why blue represents him so well. It also brings out his blue and green eyes. He doesn't rush into things like the second oldest turtle.

The second and very hot-tempered turtle goes by the name by Raphael or Ralph. Ralph hides his dark brown eyes with a red headband, which seems to represent his strong will to fight and his easy temper. Next is the brain of the bunch. Donatello or Don. Don is very caring towards his brothers and their master, Splinter. Don is always coming up with new ways to keep everybody safe and uninjured. Don wears a purple headband and although purple isn't a guys' colour, it does suite his green eyes.

Last and finally, the youngest, Michelangelo or Mikey for short. Mikey is very funny and fun loving. He is always distracting his opponents by easily angering them with his comments. Mikey wears an orange headband, which brings out both his golden eyes and his happy personality.

All these brothers always carry around their favourite and most used weapons. Leo uses two blue katana blades, which he uses to fight and defend his opponents with. Ralph uses his two sias, which he battles very well with. Donnie uses a large Bo staff, and although it doesn't have blades, he seems to use it just as easily as his brothers when they use their weapons. Now, Mikey on the other hand, uses nun chucks to fight his opponents and just like Don, his weapon works wonders when it comes to knocking people out.

Do these crime-fighting heroes know I watch them? No, because like them, I keep myself hidden in the shadows from people. I've been trained in Ninjitsu so I know how to defend myself from predators. Shredder killed my family and since then I've been on the run and have been keeping myself hidden, for the most part. There have been the odd times where I've been seen and fought alongside the turtles to aid them but as soon as the fighting is over, I'm gone from their eyes. I always dress in black at night to keep myself hidden from view. After my parents' death, I haven't been too trusting towards others.

CRASH!

My eyes dart everywhere, looking for where the sound came from and then I mentally groan as I notice that I made the sound. The turtles stop their jumping and look behind them, searching for me. I quickly hide behind an air vent, darting away from their eyesight, hoping and praying that they didn't catch a glimpse of me.

"What in the shell was that?" Mikey asks his older brothers, slightly afraid and curious at the same time. I hear their feet lift off the ground and onto my building. Crap! Shit!

"You don't think someone or thing is following us, do you?" Ralph asks as I hear their feet slowly starting to approach me. My eyes widen in fear of getting caught.

"Could be, I mean is it just me or do you guys always feel like someone is watching us?" Donnie says and my heart leaps up to my throat.

My legs and hands itching to run but I know if I move now, I'll get grabbed. Should I risk it? I look quickly to the sides and spot six toes on either side of where I'm hiding. Shit, might as well. I quickly stand up and go to leap off the building but an arm quickly snakes around my waist and traps me, pulling me towards their chest and back onto the building. Fuck! I struggle and thrash around hard, as my heart keeps racing.

"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" I yell out, slightly panicked and pissed off.

"Who the shell are you?" Leo demands out of me and I slowly stop thrashing around, already finding a way to escape as I notice where Ralph has his arm wrapped around.

"I'm not telling you anything, Leonardo." I say with a smirk playing on my lips as I see their eyes widen in surprise, wondering how I know Leo's name.

"How do you know my name?" Leo growls out but I just smirk more as I slowly place a hand on top of Ralph's.

"I know all of your names but you'll never know mine." I say and just after I say that, I use my arm and body to send Ralph flying into his brothers.

They all tumble like blocks on top of each other, groaning in pain and my smirk widens more.

"Catch ya later boys." I call with a smirk as I race off the building and leap off the building onto the next building. I hear them leaping to their feet and trying to keep up with me as I leap from building to building but they are failing.

"See, look at what you did, fearless leader!" Ralph growls to his brother and I bark out a laugh as I jump.

"Yeah, you made the pretty girl run away from us." Mikey remarks and Leo groans loudly. I on the other hand have to hold back a growl at Mikey, at being called a pretty girl.

"I didn't mean to." Leo says, slightly whining and I laugh.

"Magic disappearing act." I say as I land on my target place and use a powerful smoke bomb to make myself disappear. I hide on a fire escape behind where the guys are, who are coughing from all the smoke.

"Man, that was strong." Mikey comments, wheezing.

"I'll say. I wonder how she made it so strong." Donnie comments, breathing calmly and helping Mikey with his breathing. "Come on Don, enough with the science stuff. I believe our patrol for tonight is done." Leo says and the guys nod their heads.

"Yeah, we better tell Splinter about that girl." Ralph comments and they race off to their sewer home with me following close behind, hidden of course.

"Why does she look familiar?" Mikey asks them as Don presses in the security code for going into their home. The doors open and they walk through. I smirk and camouflage myself as I sneak in.

"She's been helping us when we look like we are losing our battles against Shredder and his goons." Don replies and Mikey's eyes spark with recognition.

"Oh shell, I forgot." Mikey says, laughing. Ralph rolls his eyes. Master Splinter, April and Casey all walk into the living room, where the boys are. Master Splinter's eyes scan his surroundings and I hold my breath, hoping he doesn't hear my speeding heart beat.

"My sons welcome back. Was there any troubles on your patrol?" Splinter asks his students as they bow with respect as he looks at them.

"No, Sensei but we almost caught the girl who has helped us so much." Leo says, slightly ashamed at not being able to catch me.

"Why is she not with us?" Splinter asks.

"She got upset and flipped Ralph onto us." Mikey says with a laugh and Ralph growls.

"Awe, Ralph got beaten by a girl." Casey teases and just when Ralph is about to attack him, Master Splinter stops him, frowning.

"What's wrong Master Splinter?" Donnie asks, concern dripping in his voice. Splinter closes his eyes slowly and then opens them again.

"We appear to have a guest listening in on us." Splinter says and his beady rat eyes stare directly at mine and I gulp, afraid.

"Come on out and show yourself." Casey growls out demanding and I slightly shake my head.

They all look towards where Master Splinter is looking but they can't see me due to me being hidden so well. Only a very well trained ninja can see me and it seems only Splinter is trained enough. I slowly walk out of my hiding spot and uncamoflague myself so that they can see me. I immediately regret it as soon as I do because the turtles attack me, almost making me lose my balance but I manage to keep steady. Although, I don't use my weapons, I'm still very skilled in grabbing the blades of all weapons without getting hurt, along with weapons without blades too.

I glare at the turtle brothers as they each take time attacking me with their weapons and when they can't land any blows that way, they use their hands and feet. Don goes to jump kick me but I see his move and duck, rolling out of the way. Donnie ends up kicking Mikey and they both fall to the floor, groaning. Two down, two to go. Ralph goes to punch me but I grab his wrist and fling him towards Leo but Leo dodges and Ralph hits the wall. I instinctively feel guilty for hurting the turtles but they brought this upon themselves. Leo glares at me as we circle each other. His blue and green eyes staring hard and deep into my dark blue ones. Our hands itching to attack but waiting for the other one to strike first.

Leo runs at me and I jump straight up, making him fall on the floor, where I drop onto his shell and put a foot to the back of his neck.

"I mean you no harm." I say, pleading with all their eyes as I get off of Leo's shell and step away from him.

"Then why attack us?" Ralph demands as he tries to stand up but miserably fails. I rush towards him but Don and Mikey guard him, protectively.

"Excuse me but you all attacked me. I was only defending myself." I say and easily push past Don and Mikey, placing a hand on where Ralph is hurt.

"Sure, wait. What are you doing?" Ralph demands slightly scared and I roll my eyes.

I close my eyes and concentrate on using my healing powers on Ralph's side. I hear gasps around the room and I know that it's working. I open my eyes and see the bruise on his side has disappeared. I take my hand off and move far away from the group, panting slightly. The group all look at me with astonishment and I smile sadly at them, trying not to faint. The cons to having a healing power like mine is you always feel so exhausted when you heal others and also you can't heal yourself at all. Ugh, I feel so faint. I can feel myself paling in colour. The guys slowly come closer and I try to growl at them but it turns into a whimper instead. I can see concern in their eyes and my eyes soften.

"Child, are you alright?" Splinter asks me, taking a step towards me as I try to calm my heart and breathing so that I don't faint.

"I-I-I'm fine." I stutter out, my voice shaking, as I feel a little bit dizzy and even more on the verge of fainting.

"What's your name?" April questions me nicely, smiling at me. I look at her, smiling sadly at her.

"Around the city, I'm known as the black flower but my real name is…is…" I say and as I try to say my real name, I feel myself slowly starting to faint. My body wobbles a little bit and I see Donatello notice me starting to faint. He races forwards as my body slowly starts to fall to the ground and he grabs me before I can fall and hurt myself.

"Is what?" Ralph asks, trying not to growl at me. I stare at the cement wall, slightly dazed. Don holds me and tries to keep me steady.

"Donatello, move her to the couch." Splinter says and I feel Don lift me and carry me bride style to the couch. He sets me down carefully on the couch. I slowly start to shut my eyes.

"Hey, keep those blue eyes open." Mikey exclaims, panicked a bit. I turn my head and smile at him.

"Come on, what's your name?" Ralph asks me, his eyes holding anger and concern.

"My name is Angel." I say before I shut my eyes completely and fall into the darkness. "Angel?!" is the last I hear before falling into the dreamland world.
