Chapter 1: New Life

1982:: New York City ::

Hamato Yoshi smiled proudly to himself as he heard the first cries from the bed room. The deep whailing of the infant whom was just born caused pride to swell deep in his chest. Though as his hand started to touch the knob, he heard his love and wife Teng Shen scream out again in pain an agony. The soft spoken voice of the midwife whom was present to help her threw the labor was barely audible, gently coaching an trying to calm Teng again. He made out only a few words but he could have sword that his ears deceived him... Did she just say... Twins?

It seemed to take an eternity before the door opened before him, he had begun to pace now restlessly an his head snaped up as the slender american woman steped out a smile upon her lips that said it all. "Teng Shen would like you see you now. She has a surprise for you Hamato." The slender japaneese man noded an moved swiftly past her an into the bed room. His dark brown eyes found the figure of his wife proped up by the pillows of their bed, holding 2 small bundels against her chest. As he neared, she slowly lowered them, so that he could see the two squenched up dark haired faces of the twins. "Both girls." Her voice was soft almost strained from her cries of labor.

He blinked, he had not expected two girls. But none the less he smiled an sat carefuly down beside her on the bed, gently taking an offered bundel from her arms as he studdied the innocent face a slight chuckel came from his lips. "And what shall we name them?"

Teng Shen paused hearing his question her own dark eyes studying the infant she held. "It should be something special... something diffrent to mark our new lives here.." He glanced at Teng studying her downcast eyes an taking in her beauty. "Shana and Shara." He spoke softly his eyes never leaving his love, even as she gazed up at him for a moment, a slight smile touching her softly curved lips. "Hai..Shana and Shara.." She noded in her agreement, though as her eyes met his she felt that renewel of love that she had first felt when she had laid eyes upon him back in Japan.

Meanwhile out in the small living room of the small apartment, the old greying rat shifted his weight a bit on his haunches as he obserbed the goings on. His small round ears were keen, an he had listened instently to the sounds of his master's wife's crys of pain an the shill cries of the infants whom had come into this world. His long whiskers twitched ever so sliighly in satisfaction before he began to gnaw on a peice of fruit placed into the small cage by Hamato eailer on.

After a while Hamato returned from the small bed room, an moved toward the cage, carefully opening the door he allowed the rat, which he affectionately called Splinter, to walk out onto his hands. Then turning he carefuly carried the creature into the bed room an allowed him to step down onto the bed an investigate the now sleeping infants. Splinter stood up carefuly on his haunches, nose twitching as he keen beady eyes studied the infants. His head cocking a bit as he lowered himself an gently sniffed at tiny fingers an toes. Hamato nor Teng were worried that the rodent might harm the girls. After all Splinter was apart of their family.

The girls first night of life was a peaceful one, neither cried or made a fuss the entire night. An with the passing of weeks, an soon months the girls began to grow, almost to quickly for their parents. However both were proud an did their best by their children. Both girls proved to be bright an energetic even before becoming a year old. Both girl however by the time they were one, had long raven black hair, an dark almost blackish blue eyes. Hamato often commented that he saw much of their mother in them. It made him proud an often amused him to watch the girls attempt to mimick his movements when he trained. He had no doubt that had they remained in Japan, that the girls would have made his Clan proud.
