REMAKE
i do not own TMNT only Sarah Ayako
"I beg of you, she's a good girl, polite, nice-" Karai tried to reason but got cut off.
"But why us?" Donatello interrupted.
"With you turtles, I know she shall be safe"
"But do you know how hard it is to take care of a girl? You'll have to get her into school, girl have female necessities that cost money. And her school simples, aah, a lot of work" April explained.
"I will give you monthly payments for anything she needs and wants, she does not need to go to school, her family was of high status and had her finish school before everyone else."
"What did happen to her parents, her family Karai?" Leo asked, his brows going upward together in confusion and concern. Karai looked down in sadness.
"She..." She began. "I cannot say much, but her family was a harsh one, she was always alone. She was always hurt, covered in cuts and bruises. I do hope she isn't like that now..."
"So basically she's coming her without her parents, and she's only fourteen? Awesome!" Casey exclaimed. April glared at him and he shut up. The turtles turned to their master, whose eyes were closed, thinking. He finally opened his eyes and nodded.
"As how you say it "I owe you one" thank you truly" She bowed, "She will arrive today, at four at night, I shall pick her up and drop her off here" She left.

I pulled my luggage behind me as I followed Karai down the alley, as she slowly explained to me the story of the ninja turtles. I didn't really understand why she was telling me this, until she explained I will be staying with them, because she is extremely busy. Understandable, I would only be a burden, or in the way, I shouldn't ask too much, it's not nice.
"We're here, just go down the sewer and they will wait at the end of the ladder, I must go now" I nodded and watched her leave me in the dark alley. I slowly opened the lid, and looked down the darkness, I gulped, I hated the dark...But I've jumped from buildings to buildings, kicked peoples butts, I'm sure down the sewer, filled with rats, and maybe crocodiles won't be so bad. I gulped, who am I kidding?
"H...Hello? Anyone down there...?" I called down, no answer, which only helped with scaring me. I placed my bag in one arm, as I climbed down slowly, closing the lid behind me. I froze in the middle of the ladder, my eyes were closed, I felt like eyes were watching me, and I was too scared to move. My hand was clenched on the ladder with a death grip, my heartbeat was easily heard. After a few long minutes of silence, I took a deep breath and reached the bottom.
I sighed and turned, to come face to face with a green being that smiled right up to my face, with white eyes. My eyes widen, startled I jumped back and fell square on my butt.
"Micky, would you stop scaring every person we meet, first April now her?" The voice was male, and it came from behind me. It was soft, and gentle. I stared up as he stared down. "Sorry if my silly brother scared you, I'm Donatello, you can just call me Donnie" My eyes were glued to his three fingered hand, as it stretched to me. A part of me kind of just thought Kirai was just kidding.
I got up without taking the stretched hand.
"Its fine..."I mumbled and followed him back to his other brother, I saw someone smacking the one that scared me.
"Owww...What did I do?"
"Stop it guys, Master Splinter is waiting for us" I noticed there was four of them, four REAL, walking talking turtles, so...Splinter was the Rat Karai spoke of...
"So Sarah, is it? How's your first time seeing New York like?" The kind voice one asked. I turned to him, and rolled my eye ball up, searching my head for an answer.
"I can't really tell..." I answered quietly looking down. I really don't care...Long as I'm away from Japan...I'm fine...I hate living there...
"You don't talk much do you?" I looked up to him again.
"No" Actually I talk a lot. I looked back down, Kirai last words before she left kept coming in mind. "Don't get in the way of their work, don't bother them and be very polite, they are going all the trouble to take care of you. They are strong and you will for sure get hurt".
"We're here" My eyes widen, in fear again at how huge the place was, I...Had to clean up and do chores in this place? Balloons popped on my face in a load burst. I jumped, screamed and bent down covering my head, and trembling. Silence.
"Sarah...What are you doing?" I looked up at the voice, a turtle with a blue mask said. I looked around...and stood up slowly, turning red.
"S-sorry...Just surprised me..." Two humans, female, male, a rat, and four turtles, wearing masks, purple, orange, red and blue.
"Hi, my name is April, this here is Casey" She said, while pointing at the muscle shirt man. "Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo" She squealed "ooooh, I'm so glad now that I have a female company from this day on." She smiled. "It's too bad we I have to go soon, I made cake, and it's in the fridge"
"Yeah, so make yourself at home Sarah" Mikey said, waving and the six left, leaving me with Splinter.
"Excuse me Miss Ayako" He bowed and left into a room.
"I guess I better get started, he did say make yourself at home" I mumbled pulling my sleeves of my hoodie up to my elbow and got to work with cleaning. I scrubbed the floors, cleaned the couched, wiped the TVs, and cleaned the computer desks. I entered the kitchen and stared at the chocolate cake, and all I wanted to do is eat it. But I shook my head, and told myself I'm only here to clean. Little did I know, Spinter was out of his room watching in shock.
It took hours but here I was, in front of one of the boys bedrooms. I wonder if I should enter...or be polite and ask first...but I can't, because they aren't here, but if I didn't do all my chores, then I'd get a beating. Karai did say they were strong...I gulped.
"Do you see the place so dirty as to clean it? I do agree that this place, isn't the cleanest, but it's quite good as it was before" I jumped and turned around, tripping and falling, staring up at the rat. "Is something wrong Miss Ayako?" I started at the stick...What did I do...Why does he have a stick...is he going to hit me with it...I got up.
"I'm very sorry!" I yelled bowing and ran off down the hall. I hit a door and looked up to saw it had my name on it. I entered it quickly and closed the door shot. Please...I'm sorry for not finishing all my chores in time...I'm sorry please don't beat me up...

Sarah didn't notice how the time passed as she cleaned, but now she lay next to the bed in her bedroom. She was never allowed to sleep on a bed at her parents' house, so she slept on the cold stone floor.
"Wow...what happened here?" Raphael asked looked up and down the family room.
"Miss Ayako, nice enough cleaned the place for you boys, maybe you should learn a listen or two" Splinter calmly answered him. They ignored him and went off to do what they love. Practice, meditating, playing games, inventing. "My sons!" Everyone stopped and listened, surprised at how loud his voice was. "I would like a word" They gathered. "Miss Ayak-" A screamed rang inside the entire hideout, they jumped into action, running to Sarah's room, and kicked open the door, weapons out.
Ayako was trembling, and jerking on the ground, curled up in a ball, tears running down her face, her arms were up in a protective way up to her head. And then, the scream died out, but her trembling didn't.
"I'm sorry..." A small voice came from her. "I promise I'll be good...I...please...dad..." Another scream, her back arched as if it was strike down painfully, they jolted, not know what was going on, or what they should do, they only watched and listened in terror. "DAD, I'm sorry I won't do it anymore...I'll listen, I'll listen..." Splinter pushed pass them and held her, her reaction pained him. She was dreaming, and yet...
She pulled away from him sharply; her tears were pouring, and she trembling violently.
"Child...wake up..."He said gently.
"What the shell's is going on!" Raphael yelled in confusion.
"She...seems to be having a nightmare of some sort...with her father..."
"I-I'll do anything please...dad...I'm sorry...I'll b-bring the right drink next time...I-I won't spill it t-this time too...please..." Splinter couldn't bare stare and listen any longer, he took her in his arms and held her as she screamed in terror at his touch.
Her eyes flashed open, alert and blurry from the pouring tears, she pulled away, thinking it was her father and hid under the bed. "I'm sorry dad, I'm sorry dad, and I'm sorry dad" she repeated over. "I won't eat, I promise...I won't be a sneaky little monster and steal...please..."
"Child...You aren't with your father...you are in New York remember?" After repeating saying that, she seemed to be quiet and aware where she was now. They heard panting, gasping and hiccuping from under the bed.
"Sarah..." Donatello started.
"Leave her be my son, she needs to be alone"
"But master Splinter she's terrified, and did you hear what she was saying, her-"
"Enough Leonardo"
"But Leo's right Master" Raphael continued.
"Why was she screaming at her dad?" They heard a small whimper from under the bed.
"Michelangelo!" He looked down.
"Sorry Sensei..."
"Off to your rooms, all of you" They did so, Leo, Donnie and Raph, had the same idea, to sneak into her room at night, and talk to her.
