Welcome to my drabbles series thing. This was obviously inspired by Mikell (I'm doing it as an acrostic too, so don't think that I'm the original one here), whose drabbles about the turtles and Master Splinter are absolutely AWESOME! So awesome, I hope you've all read them. :C There's Seasons by Polaris'05, Paradox and Enigmas by Diva Danielle and Wall to Wall by Turtlefreak121. I know there are others, but I haven't gotten round to reading them yet. OTL

This one's different, because it focuses on Karai. ;D The 2k3 Karai.

This author's note is bigger than the drabble itself, so I'll shut up for now and talk later.

T! M! N! T! Does not belong to me!


This is set some time after the TMNT meet Karai, but before the whole Exodus thing.


Oblivious (Leonardo)

Sometimes when I'm in bed, trying to sleep, I wonder why Karai stays by the Shredder's side.

She isn't evil. Many people jump to that conclusion when they see the things she's done. I'm sure she doesn't enjoy obeying her father's commands. Unlike the Shredder, she has honour and I know that she tries to do the right thing. Yet, despite all the bad things he does, she stays by his side. Is it because he is her father? Does fear prevent her from leaving him? Is it loyalty?

Or is she too oblivious to see the Shredder's true intentions?
