Authoress' Notes : Okay, so as you all know, last year I had a Poll up on my Profile and someone voted for a RaphaelxKathyJonesxLeonardo story and - as I've stated before - Leo is my least favorite Turtle (I don't count Mei Pei Chi/ Venus de Milo as a Turtle, but if I did, she'd have that uncoveted spot) and therefore my hardest to write; in addition, I don't see how two Alpha males like Raph and Leo would even be able to maintain a relationship with each other or be willing to share. Now, you're wondering "Yeah, yeah. Then why does this say that it's RaphxKJxLeo in the summary and title?" Am I right? I'm right.

So, anyway, I was dabbling with a Pokemon story and listening to the second live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (Secrets of the Ooze) and wondered to myself "Casey is in the first and third movie... but why isn't he in the second?" And then this idea hit me. Because of Kathy!

This is based in the Original Live Action Movie 'verse, not the 2k3 cartoon 'verse like my other Kathy Chronicles, because that 'verse's Leo and Raph get along much better than 2k3's - although they still have their moments, thankfully.

Please, R&R, and most of all - Enjoy!

Dedication : To the person who wanted to read a RaphaelxKatherineJonesxLeonardo, I hope this meets or (hopefully) exceeds your hopes and expectations for the pairing. It's something that I've been struggling with. If you were expecting or hoping for something like my RaphaelxKatherineJones story, I'm sorry to disappoint - this will not exceed the Teen rating because the members of the pairing are minors.

Chapter Summary : The Turtles receive a surprise guest into their converted home, stunned at her less-than-usual reaction to their appearances. Short, but it's a introduction to this AU. No romance yet! Please, R&R.

Warning : There's only undertones of Turtlecest in this chapter, but it will become obvious as the story goes on.

Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own any of the characters mentioned or shown below, with the exception of Katherine "Kathy" Jones (no relation to Kat a.k.a. randomlass a.k.a. Neko-chan, before anyone asks); the Ninja Turtles cast belong to Nickelodeon, and the original concept of the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles are the creations of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. I'm just borrowing them to satisfy my Muse, and my Reader's thirst.

Two Princes : An LxKJxR AU

Chapter One : Surprise Guest

"Anybody know where Mastah Splintah is?" Raphael asked his Brothers as he entered the main area of their underground home. "I was gonna let 'im know that I was goin' t' the movies."

Leonardo looked over from where he was practicing Kata with his Katana, answering, "He said he had to go topside for a bit and told us to stay home until he got back, Raph. So, suffice to say, you're not going out to a movie."

"Who said anythin' about needin' permission, Leo?" Raphael grunted. Michelangelo and Donatello exchanged looks from where they were lounging, reading - comics in Michelangelo's case - that spoke volumes as Leonardo sheathed his Katana with a frustrated look on his face.

"Look here, Raph, Master Splinter said -"

"You are not to leave, Raphael; I will not tolerate you to be so rude to our guest," Splinter's stern tones preceded him into the area as his four Sons turned and rose to face him and their guest.

Their eyes widened in surprise and Michelangelo blurted, "Who's the Babe, Sensei?" Trailing slightly behind their Father, and tilting their head in curiosity was a girl they had never seen before; she had long, dark brown hair pulled back in a ponytail high on top of her head and her hazel eyes were friendly, and slightly wider, as she turned them on the four Turtles.

"Miss Jones, I would like you to meet my Sons, Leonardo," Leonardo scrambled into a bow upon being addressed and she bowed politely back. "Michelangelo," Splinter nodded at a still-gaping Michelangelo, lightly bopping him on the head with his walking stick; this caused him to flinch and pout with a small whine. "Raphael."

"Yo," the hotheaded Turtle nodded coolly at her, pleased with her lack of fainting or screaming as he crossed his arms over his plastron. "Jones, huh? Any relation to Casey Jones?"

"'Sup?" She grinned at him shyly, "An', yeah. M' name's Katherine Jones, but you all can call me Kathy. Casey and Master Splinter told me about you; Casey said you're all about m' age. I'll be sixteen in a few months."

"And, finally, Donatello," Splinter gestured to his Bo-wielding Son who gave her a warm smile.

"Pleased to meet you, Kathy," Donatello greeted her pleasantly.

"Same here, Donatello," she returned his smile. "I hope you don' mind my being here - Casey's just meeting with the realtor, and needs to finish dealin' with the movers, so he asked Master Splinter if he would mind takin' care of me for a bit. He didn' want me to be in the hotel room by myself," she explained her surprise introduction.

"How come you're staying in a hotel room?" Michelangelo asked, curious. "And why wouldn't you be with your parents?"

At the question, Kathy flushed, looking at the ground, causing Leonardo to give his youngest Brother a sharp look as he stepped forward and placed a gentle hand on the petite teenager's shoulder. "Don't be rude to our guest, Mikey. I apologize for his rudeness, Kathy," his sincere gray eyes regarded her with compassion as she raised her head, surprised at his protection.

Raphael nodded, amber eyes boring into their guest as he noticed how close she was Leonardo, "I don' see why it matters why she ain' with her parents, Mike. 'Sides, she hasn' screamed or nothin' yet, so she's cool in my books."

"Please, make yourself at home, Miss Jones. If you will excuse me, I'm going to meditate for a while; if you have need of anything, simply ask my Sons - I trust you into their care," Splinter gave her a kind smile, bowing slightly to her. "I apologize for Michelangelo's rudeness, as well."

"Of course, Master Splinter," Kathy faced him and executed a beautiful, formal bow with her feet together. "Thank you, again, for your hospitality, Sir."

"It is our pleasure, my Child," his dark eyes were fatherly as he patted her arm lightly on his way past her, his Sons bowing to him as he did so. "Take care of Miss Jones, my Sons."

"Yes, Master Splinter," Leonardo assured.

"Yes, Master Splinter," Raphael couldn't help parroting mockingly as he noticed Leonardo's soft gaze turn to Kathy.

"Stop being an ass, Raph," Leonardo whapped him on the arm as Splinter sighed, shaking his head as he headed towards his room.

"Wha'cha gonna do about it, Leo?" Raph ground out, readying himself for a fight. A giggle caused them to break off their stare-off and look to their guest. "Wha's so funny, Girlie?"

Kathy grinned at them, relaxing as Donatello and Michelangelo stared at her in amazement, "You two mus' really care for each other, huh?" She giggled again, her tiny hand coming up and covering her mouth to muffle it before she spoke again, "You remind me of some friends of friends of mine - they're always bickering, too." She looked around at them, tilting her head cutely, "So, would someone like giving a tour? This place is huge! How'd you find it?"

The four Turtles exchanged pleasantly surprised looks before they agreed to show her around their home and tell her their version of their story; she was related to a friend of theirs and didn't seem bothered by their appearance, so they hoped that meant that she'd stick around for a while - they'd never really interacted with any girl, except April.

Maybe, they'd even become friends; the thought of romance, besides her attractiveness and friendly warmth, never crossed their minds.

(To be continued...)

Authoress' Notes : Okay, so this is a good start. Yay! I haven't written anything but this yet for this story, but I wanted to get it posted before I decide to trash this idea - like my other ideas I had for this pairing. If I post it, I have to commit myself to it. Anyway, this takes place post-SotO, but before the third movie. This is un-Beta'd, but that's because I do most of my own Beta reading, so any mistakes or errors are my own.

I'm actually pleased with how this turned out, and with how In-Character (in my opinion, feel free to disagree) the Turtles and Splinter are. Leo actually co-operated with me~! : D Yay. Hopefully, he'll continue to do so, otherwise I'll get the lovely randomlass to have a talk with him - he likes her far more than he does me, and my Muse has a tendency to harass him. I hope you enjoyed this (short as it was, lol), so please let me know your thoughts with the second "R" in R&R! Mwah~.

Thank you to everyone for Reading, Favoriting and Alerting myself and my stories, but especially to those who take the time to Review; it means a lot. I think everyone else who is also an Author/ess knows this as well as I do.

Please, Read and Review; the more reviews an Author/ess receives on a story, the more and quicker s/he will be spurred to write. I accept all reviews : Comment, Compliment, and Criticism (preferably Constructive Criticism); I also accept Flames, but nothing with swearing in it as I have the default profanity filter for my reviews.

Cowabunga,
