Disclaimer: I do not own the TMNT nor this story line. Sorry.
Star crossed Love Act I
Two households both alike in dignity,
In fair New York where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventures piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their clan's strife.
The fearful passage of their death-marked love,
And the continuance of their clan's rage,
Which but their children's end naught could remove,
Is now the two hour traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

A shadow leaps across the lonely rooftops of New York City followed by a less shadowlike form.
"Case man come on can't you keep up?" Raph teased as he jumped over a pipeline.
"Man I ain't ninja like you."
"I can see that."
"Whoa hey Raphie looks like we got a party down here." Casey Jones told his friend as he pointed towards an adjacent rooftop.
Raphael smiled to himself as he caught sight of a group of foot ninjas gathering on the rooftop.
"Wonder what their up to?" He said.
"Whatever it is we're gonna wreck it." Casey responded as he jumped onto the roof.
A shout was heard as Raphael flung himself into the battle. The clashing of metal and the sound of flesh hitting flesh rang through the night air.
The battle raged on until it was two on two. The best of the best fought head on until a single figure launched itself into the fray separating the two sides.
"Part fools! You know not what you do!" The white-haired rabbit shouted as he pushed everyone away.
"Do you always have to talk like that?" Raph growled. "And why you breaking this up we almost had em!?"
"Turn you Usagi and look upon your death!" A voice shouted from the shadows.
Everyone turned to see a new face show itself. One of the elite guards. The only one left since the last fight.
"I only keep the peace put away your blade or use it to help part these men I have no quarrel with you and they should not have been out looking for trouble as they were."
"What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate that word. As I hate hell, all hamatos, and you. Fight me you coward!"
The fight wandered its way down to the streets of New York as the two sides clashed together. More figures appeared upon a rooftop. Members of both sides joined the fray.
"Honestly Raph can't you go out without getting into trouble?" Don berated his brother as he fought next to him.
"Please Donny trouble is my middle name."
"No, its mine yours is hothead!" Mikey shouted from a few feet to the left.
More and more foot ninjas poured into the streets only to be beaten down by the Hamatos who had also joined up along with Casey Jones and April O'Neil. Everyone that is except for one. The eldest son Leonardo was not present.

The sound of sirens filled the streets as police neared the scene. Both sides stopped fighting and looked towards the end of the street as the bright lights came around the bend. Both sides threw icy glares towards each other before fading off into the blackness of the night. The only trace left was the destruction caused by their fray.
By the time the police came on the scene there was no one left to arrest for the destruction.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Back at the police station:
The police sheriff was currently making an announcement towards his group.
"I have had enough of all this! Fighting in the streets, destruction of public property, and disruption of the peace! Anyone caught fighting in the streets will be shot at on sight! You will shoot to kill understood!? It's time we lay down the law on this city!"

The Shredder's tower:
"You sent for me father?" Karai said in a respectful tone.
"Yes I did. Eventually Karai I will leave this planet and you shall need an heir to take control when you have passed."
"Are you asking me to do what I think you are asking me to do?"
"There will be a man, Paris, at the party I am having tonight at least give him the honor of a dance. Look him over. See if he is worthy to be right hand of the foot."
"If looking favorably at someone leads to liking him then I will look on Paris in a way that will lead to liking him. But I will look no harder than you want me to."
"Go then and prepare yourself for tonight."
"Does he consider me nothing more than a child bearer?" She thought as she left and began to walk towards her room.
"Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days!" A woman whispered to her as she walked by.
"Must you do that?"
The woman simply smiled and went on her way.

The Hamato residence:
"Hey Leo why weren't you there we kicked their butts!" Raphael shouted as he walked by his brother who was meditating.
"Because I do not like rash actions Raphael and this fight was too rash!" Leonardo growled as he stood.
"Oooooh! Suddenly you're all tough and want to fight!"
"I never want to fight Raph it is you who always want to!"
"Guys, stop!" Donatello suddenly shouted.
Both brothers glared at the younger one with such ferocity it filled him with fear.
"If you guys want to mess with old shred head and do it….well…not so rash then there's a party tonight. A costume party we can go and see if he's up to anything."
Both the older brothers' looks softened.
"That's a good idea Donny." Leo said as he straightened up. "But I don't think we should go."
"What why?!" Raphael shouted. "You got to be kidding me! We got the perfect opportunity and your gonna sit it out!?"
"Please Raphael let Leonardo speak." Usagi spoke up.
"I had a dream." Leo stated when everything calmed down.
"And so did I." Mikey spoke up.
"What was yours?"
"That dreamers often lie."
"In bed asleep, while they do dream things true."
"What?"
"Sometimes dreams come true."
"O, then, I see Queen Mab has been with you. She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes in shape no bigger than an agate-stone. On the fore-finger of an alderman, drawn with a team of little atomies. On top of men's noses as they lie asleep; Her wagon-spokes made of long spiders' legs, the cover of the wings of grasshoppers, the traces of the smallest spider's web, the collars of the moonshine's watery beams, her whip of cricket's bone, the lash of film, her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat, not so big as a round little worm pricked from the lazy finger of a maid; her chariot is an empty hazel-nut made by the joiner squirrel or old grub, time out of mind the fairies' coach makers. and in this state she gallops night by night through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love; Over courtiers' knees, that dream on courtesies straight, Over lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees, over ladies ' lips, who straight on kisses dream, which of the angry Mab with blisters plagues, because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are: Sometime she gallops over a courtier's nose, and then dreams he of smelling out a suit and sometime comes she with a tithe-pig's tail tickling a parson's nose as a' lies asleep, then dreams, he of another benefice: Sometime she drives over a soldier's neck, And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats, of breaches, ambushes, Spanish blades, of health's five-fathom deep; and then anon drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes, and being thus frightened swears a prayer or two and sleeps again. This is that very Mab that plats the manes of horses in the night, and bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs, which once untangled, much misfortune bodes: This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs, that presses them and learns them first to bear, making them women of good carriage: This is she."
"Calm down Mikey you're talking nonsense."
"If we are going then we should be going soon or we shall be late." Usagi jumped in.
"I fear too early. My mind is fearful that some future even, fated by the stars, shall start to run its course tonight and cut my life short. But it was only a dream right? Let's go!"
"You practiced that didn't you?" Don whispered to his younger brother.
"Maybe just a little bit. I've been waiting to use that one."
Upon getting permission from Splinter they gathered costumes and went to the party.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Whoa great gig." Mikey whispered. "Where do we go?"
"Right in the front door." Don whispered back.
"Are you sure these things'll work?"
"Yes I made them myself and tested them the holograms won't fade for at least two hours. Be careful they might blink out though."
"Is that why we're wearing disguises underneath?" Mikey asked.
"Yes."
"Okay guys split up and let's see what we can find." Leo ordered.
They did as they were told and each went their own way but at the same time were never alone. Thanks to little headset walki talkies!
As Leonardo walked through the crowd he spotted Karai. She was in a long red dress. A long slit trailed up to her upped thigh teasing anyone who looked upon her fair form. He felt his chest tighten on sigh of her but a fizzling sound drew his attention away from Karai.
He glanced down on the hologram watch Donatello had finished building and winced as it began to spark he bit into his lip so hard as to draw blood as his hologram began to blink out.
"Please, please, please, please, don't!" He shouted in his head.
It stopped soon and his hologram returned to normal. But this little spectacle was not unnoticed.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Sir. One of the Hamatos is here. May I take care of him?" The elite guard came before his master.
"No. We are in public I cannot have any reason for them not to trust me. We shall have another chance."
But still one more was aware of this little event.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"This is so wrong. Maybe you can find something out." Leo thought to himself as he neared Karai.
He had never seen her as…well…a woman before. It was always "off with his head." She was always a warrior when he saw her. But now…she was beautiful. It was a whole different side of her he had never seen before. She had suddenly become irresistible.
He took a deep breath and slowly approached the lovely lady in front of him.
"May I have this dance?" He asked her as a song started.
She smiled a radiant smile that he whished he could see every day for the rest of his life.
He sucked in a shaky breath as he pulled her close to him and they began to sway in tune to the music.
"Your hand is like a holy place that my hand is unworthy to visit. If you are offended by the touch of my hand, my two lips are standing here like two blushing Pilgrims ready to make things better with a kiss." He whispered to her softly.
"Good Pilgrim you don't give your hand enough credit. By holding my hand you show polite devotion, after all Pilgrims touch the hands of statues of Saints. Holding one palm against the other is like a kiss." She whispered back.
"Don't Saints and Pilgrims have lips too?"
"Yes Pilgrim, they have lips that they are supposed to pray with." She whispered with a playful tone.
"Well then, Saint, let lips do what hands do. I'm praying for you to kiss me. Please grant my prayer before my faith turns to despair." He whispered just as playfully.
"Saints don't move when they grant prayers."
"Then don't move while I act out my prayer."
He brought his lips to hers, aching inside for the realization that he was falling in love with her, Karai Saki, his enemy. Should this continue who knows where it may lead but no matter how hard he tried he could not stop the kiss that was happening. His lips connected with her soft red lips opening a whole new world of sensations to the two.
"Now my sin has been taken from my lips by yours." He whispered shakily.
"Then do my lips now have the sin they took from yours?"
"Sin from my lips? You encourage crime with your sweetness. Give me my sin back."
He brought his lips back to hers longing for the heaven it would bring. His knees became weak and if not for the fact that it would have ended the kiss he would have fallen to the ground.
"You kiss as if you've studied how." She said to him between kisses.
"Mistress, your father whishes a word with you." A strange woman came up and said to
She gave him a nod and left with the woman who gave another backward glance towards Leonardo.
"She is Saki, oh this is a heavy price to pay. My life is in the hands of my enemy." He thought as he received a message from his brothers and ran off to meet them.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A little while later:
"Nurse!" Karai called as the guests began to leave.
"Who is that?" She pointed out into the crowd.
"Which one my lady?"
"The one who danced with me."
"The one who kissed you?"
"Yes. If he is married I think I'd rather die than marry someone else."
"His name is Leonardo; he's a Hamato, the eldest son of your worst enemy."
"The only man I love is the son of the only man I hate! I saw him too early without knowing who he was, and I found out who he was too late! Love is a monster for making me fall in love with my worst enemy."
