Hello all! I was trying to create my own TMNT-only story, and the sudden idea popped into my head, 'what if Karai had a twin sister?' This story is the result, although it is still a work-in-progress. Tell me what you think and if you think it should be continued!
Disclaimer: I only own Kimiko. The turtles and other characters (as noted thus far) are owned by someone else (Nickelodean, I believe... although it was originally owned by Mirage Studios and Peter Laird, one of the two creators of the turtles!). Please don't sue - I have no money!
Chapter One, Mistaken Identity
Kimiko Tomika sighed as she walked along fairly quiet streets. She was still new to New York City, and was already feeling pretty lost. If only I had brought a map with me…
She had just headed down a different street, trying to get back to her apartment, when she heard someone land behind her. She turned, grimacing as she heard two more people land in the direction in front of her. However, when she got a good look at the first person who had landed in the direction she had come from, Kimi couldn't help but stare.
Beam me up, Scotty, she thought distantly as an angry looking humanoid turtle came towards her, a katana pointing straight at her. What can he want with me? I haven't done anything to him! A glance behind her showed two similar beings, although one was wielding sais and the other was wielding nunchucks. All of them looked pissed off, especially the one with sais.
"Where is he?" the one wielding the katana demanded angrily. Kimi gave him a startled look.
"Where is who?" she blurted. "I think you have made a mistake, because –"
"FUCK YOU!" the one with sais snarled loudly. "We know yah had him captured, an' yer gonna tell us where yer keepin' him, or else!"
Kimi gulped. This was not boding well… "P-please, I don't even know who you are!" she tried desperately as she backed herself against the wall. "I've never even seen you before!"
"Nice acting, Karai, but you won't fool us that easily!" the one with the katanas snarled. "Take us to him or ELSE!"
Kimi stared at him. He thinks I'm Karai? Then she's alive! Joy thudded through her before a sudden revulsion followed it. And she's captured someone that these guys obviously care about… Oh, how am I going to explain this?
"I'm not Karai!" she told him quickly. "I swear on my ancestors and my adopted parents! Karai's my twin sister, who I thought died when we were separated!"
"Yah really think we're that stupid, huh?" the sais-wielding turtle sneered. "Like we'd believe that dumb-ass story! Tell us where he is, Karai!"
Kimi's heart was beginning to beat very rapidly, fear worming her way up. "I'm Kimiko!" she cried, truly desperate now for some lifeline or way to get out of this mess. "I'm not Karai!"
The one with the katanas was now frowning at her. The nunchuck-one muttered, "She's sure sticking to that story…"
"Tha' ain' the right answer, Karai," the one with the sais snarled, pulling back one arm. He punched at her head, but Kimiko, raised by her adoptive parents in ninjutsu, dodged at the last second and pelted off to her left. Her heart beat faster as he swore, and three sets of feet began to chase after her.
"I'm Kimiko!" she yelled back at them as she turned and hurtled down another street. Please… someone, believe me.
Suddenly there was a black figure in front of her, and Kimi only just managed to not collide into him. He did, however, grab her and force her into a van. One glance back at her pursuers showed that more black-clad figures were attacking them. She looked back at the people in the van, and a cloth met her mouth.
She was knocked out almost immediately.
