This is the first of a few stories I intend to post introducing my characters and the different continuums they have the nerve to put themselves in. Meet Kitrian.

I do not own the TMNT or any associated characters and themes.

Chapter 1 -Good Morning

"Mikey, don't you dare!" A rough voice with a Brooklyn accent growled. Someone giggled a little maniacally before a click could be heard followed by an enraged growl and the sounds of a chase. Kit grinned into her pillow. These guys were crazy, but that was okay. Her grin turned to a frown and she lifted her head to check her watch. It was four forty-five, AM. What had possessed Mikey to get up this early and risk the wrath of Raph?

A girly scream convinced Kit it was time to get up and check things out. Crawling out of bed and stretching her arms out to their fullest Kit went to her door and walked out in to the main room. Just as she did Mikey ran past with a camera held out in front of him, begging anyone who would listen for help. Half a breath later Raph ran past. The only impression Kit gathered from him was that his face was very red, but he wasn't wearing his mask.

Scratching her head and yawning broadly Kit watched the two turtle brothers race around, across, in and out of the various rooms of the lair. On his third lap past Kit, Mikey jumped behind Kit and tried to hide behind her despite the fact that she was a good two inches shorter than him and had about half his bulk. "Hide me!" He squeaked. Kit just shook her head.

Raphael stopped in front of Kit and eyed his brother, "Move Kit, I have a brother to kill." Now that he wasn't running it was plain to see why Raphael was planning fratricide. The lips of his beak were a semi-glossy ruby red while his eyelids were colored a tasteful shade of brown that complimented his brown eyes nicely. That in addition to the nice, but unnatural blush coloring his cheeks went to make Raphael look very feminine.

Kit tilted her head and considered, "You know Raph, I don't think that lip stick is quite your color." Raphael made a swipe at Kit but she easily dodged it and leapt down to the floor of the main room. Over head Kit heard another girlish scream and the chase resumed.

Over in the dojo Leonardo was calmly going through a morning kata. Despite the look of concentration on his face it was easy to tell that his focus was more on his rambunctious brothers than the movements he was putting himself through. Without a word Kit joined him and they slowly went through the movements to wake their bodies up for the day.

Slowly they moved from one stance to another, even as Raphael chased Michelangelo right between the two of them with Mikey still screaming for help. They continued to move with the grace and poise of skilled warriors when Donnie could be heard from his room.

"Wha…Hey Mikey!" A moment later Mikey gave another scream. Soon Raphael walked past dragging Mikey along in a headlock.

"Ow! Raph! Hey! Have I ever told you that you're my favorite brother Raphie? Ow!" Raphael dragged Mikey into the bathroom. Leo and Kit came to the end of their kata listening to the toilet flushing repetitively and Mikey's gargled protests.

Donnie, Leo and Kit gathered outside of the bathroom and debated whether or not to stop Raphael now when Mikey was thrown through the door and landed at Leo's feet. Raph then slammed the door hard enough that they could feel the stone floor vibrating slightly and soon they could hear the sound of running water and muffled curses. The youngest turtle grinned up at his brother, "Morning Leo."

Leo looked down at his dripping brother with a stern expression, though there seemed to be a faint trace of amusement behind his blue mask. "Explain."

Mikey sat up and started to pull the tails of his mask from where his swirly demonstration had pasted them around his head. "Well, I was cleaning my room, just like you told me to, and I found some makeup that April must have missed when she moved back into her place."

"Oh no." Donnie glanced at the bathroom door, "Mikey you didn't." A grin played at the edges of his mouth.

"Yep, got pictures too."
