( Rikona's P.O.V)
I stood with honour. My sensi, Oroko Saki, A.K.A The Shredder had finally agreed I could join Karai with missions. My improvement was spectacular and he was very impressed. Karai was stood by the side, showing me her devious smile. I kept my smile mentally as I kept my profiled look for Shredder.
" Now you've finally proven yourself Rikona Haru, I expect the best. You are one of my best pupils. Do NOT fail me with any task you have handed to you or else your back into training for another year." Oroko Saki said sternly as I looked up at him.
" Hai Sensi. I shan't fail you or anyone." I said boldly, before Karai finally came beside me. My hair was stuck to my neck, nerves had caused me to sweat. Making my hair stick. It wasn't a great feeling but I lived.
" You shall be partnered with Karai like when you where both younger. For now, Karai will have the say on what you do. Until you learn what's expected out in the city." Oroko Saki continued. My patients was slowly eating my concentration and Shredder noticed this. Tempted to keep me stood there longer but he didn't. He dismissed me and Karai. We had been close, before she finnished training before me. I think I was jealous at the time. We where all great friends anyhow.
" So, How do you feel? " Karai smirked as she looked at me.
" Well, i can say I'm glad I've finally passed. I've been itching to get out on the street." I cracked my knuckles to prove my point. Me and Karai both narrowed our eyes as we headed towards the exit.
" Fancy going on territory Patrol?" Karai asked. Smirking even more. " It's dark, meaning the enemy Father wants to destroy will be out on patrol too."
I caught on to what she was saying instantly. I nodded as I swung one of my trusty Hatchets.
" Lets go!, I want to kick some ass! " I cheered. Karai laughed as she lead the way.
" Me and you will go alone, No need for back up. Against us both we'll have turtle soup! " Karai laughed. I laughed too, but not really sure why. What was funny about turtle soup? Did I miss the punch line earlier? I brushed it aside before getting into my full Kunoichi outfit. My thigh pads where visibly beaten up, they where used to a pounding. When I was younger I used to swing my hatchet wrong and got it on my thighs many times.
( Raphael's P.O.V)
Me and Leo had gone on patrol on the west side. Just over the buildings for a quick patrol. Ready to take out anyone from the foot. My eyes where pealed before I almost crashed into Leonardo. He was spying on Karai. I got my sai out ready, but of course I had to wait for Captin space-shell to give the signal.
" Are you going to stare at her or attack her Leo!?, She's alone. Which is perfect. No foot soldiers to assist her!" I spat angrily. He looked at me with annoyance.
" I'm not staring. I just sense something. I know she's not alone. I'm trying to locate the soldiers!" Leo snapped. I rolled my eyes before just pushing him off the side. He launched for the building while I made my battle-cry. It was louder than anything, and Karai turned with a smirk. Blocking both my swipes with my sai, and flipped me over onto my front when I tried to kick. Before me and Leo had the chance to attack together another...ANOTHER Kunoichi jumped out infront of us, smirking like Karai was. It was pretty deadly looking too, she had two Hatchets. Spinning the handle in her soft looking hands she flipped her fringe out her eyes.
"...Whooa, Karai...I've trained all my life but I never expected to fight Ningitsu with a 5ft + turtle man!" She exclaimed, she had a soft silky voice. Yet even that sounded dangerous too. Like pizza, drenched in Posion. Perfect and deadly. I saw her look at my Sai and then Leo's swords. She was planning something. Karai and Lameardo where talking. I mockingly went to look at my wrist to pretend to check the time when I had a size 7-8 foot smack into my chin, sending me flying. I picked myself up to see the other Kunoichi rise from a landing position. The moon glew on her grey armour. Similar to Karai's. Maybe a hand-me-downs.
" You want to play dirty huh?" I asked, pulling my Sais out properly. Then we clashed. The blades on her hatchets slid down each sai' s blade. Before the small hook on the Hatchets locked against my weapons and pulled them from my grasp. I flinched before flying at her with a fist to the face, she mocked me with a laugh. She managed to dodge each punch I threw at her. Each time her thin yet curved figure slipped out my grasped and that annoyed me more than anything. I couldn't catch her. Suddenly, Leo knocked into her. Putting her off- balance and slipping, her hatchet smacked straight into my bicep on my left arm and I dont think I've ever yelled so loud, Leo flew to my side. I watched as Karai dragged the other Kunoichi away. I gripped my arm and chased after them. So did Leo.
" WHAT'S YOUR NAME KUNOICHI!?" I yelled enraged. She turned, smirking. Her figure against the stary background made her look superior, time seemed to stop for her.
" Rikona Haru. Don't forget it Sweetheart, ill be back." She said, before stepping of the side of the building. I watched in ewe, before growling angrily.
" Did you give Karai an injury or just FLIRT?" I huffed.
" For your information. I don't FLIRT. AND I COULDN'T CATCH HER. " Leo huffed back.
" I'm going to ask Sensi if he knows anyone by the name Rikona Haru. Maybe he knows them. It's not too hard to remember. I want to know everything about her. " I hissed. Picking at my sais bent blade. She had ruined my favourite pair and she was going to pay. Big time.
Back at the lair, I went into the Dojo and sat infront of Splinter. I was quite because he was mediating, until I heard his sharp voice.
" What's the problem Raphael?" He asked. I cleared my throat.
" On Patrol me and Leo ran into Shredders new Kunoichi. She looks around the same age as Karai. Meaning you might of known her." I rushed out my mouth as he nodded, eyes still shut.
" Did you catch her name? "
" She's called Rikona Haru. She's brilliant at fighting " I replied, rubbing the bandaged up wound. When splinter heard Haru his eyes opened quickly.
" Are you sure it's Haru? This is important Raphael." He said sternly.
" Yes! She said my name's Rikona Haru. Don't forget it Sweetheart. I'll be back" I mocked her voice. Sounding rather girlie too.
" Katsuo Haru was her father. When we where younger we trained together. His wife was American so they must of move here after the fire. If you see her again, find out if you can whether her family are ninjas too, Katsuo was almost as good as me and if his daughter was as good as you say, they're many problems ahead. " Splinter said loudly, running his fingers down his beard.
" She's working with Karai. Pretty tough pair of Kunoichi's. Even I struggled taking them down. " I admitted shamefully.
" Its not always about how long they've trained for. It's whether you can distract them and take them down. " Splinter warned. I nodded and sighed.
( Rikona's P.O.V)
Once back at the Foot clans hide out, I had gone to my resting quarters. That turtle was a very will trained ninja, though I seemed to have more training. I did feel slightly guilty for hacking into the red masked ones arm. I was aiming originally for his head. He had a narrow escape. I removed the heavy non-important armour and protective pieces off. Seeing as I was in the hide out I didn't need to wear it. The only thing that confused me was the fact I was unaware of why I was killing them. My father had told me how the fire when he was in Japan started. Oroko Saki had started it during the fight. I never disagreed with my master though, I never even brought it up too Karai. She would probably break my face. I looked in the mirror, the turtle had given me a work out and my eyeliner, eye shadow and lipstick had gone for a walk all over my pale face. It looked like I needed to start buying waterproof and primer now. I got a wet cloth and began scrubbing at my face, whilst I did Karai walked in. She chuckled at the sight of me.
" Finally decided to get the waterproof? " She asked mockingly. Even though she wore make up too, she teased me about it.
" No. I'm going to buy more cheap crap. " I said with heavy traces of sarcasm.
" I'm proud of you though Rikona. Not many people have injured the turtles. Father is happy ones got a injury but pissed that they aren't dead. " she muttered, I laughed.
" Well, you know I did my best. You did push the blue one into me and I hacked the red one by accident. " I admitted.
" The blue ones named Leonardo. The red ones Raphael. Besides, Shredder doesn't need to know it was a accident. You still managed to injure him. " Karai encouraged. " Plus you always wanted to get noticed more, now your called the turtle chopper." Karai added. I couldn't help but laugh my head off.
" Turtle Chopper?" I cried in agony from laughing. She nodded.
Then there was a knock on the door. I opened my quarters door to see Bradford. Though since his mutation I wasn't really sure I was fond of him. He just..didnt seem right.
" Master Shredder wants to see you and Karai. Right now!" 'DogPound' shouted. My grey-blue eyes narrowed in annoyance.
" Don't shout at me Bradford. I'm right in front of you. Now go away." I said through gritted teeth. He snorted and rolled his ugly eyes before going. I turned to Karai.
" Think we're in trouble?" I asked slowly. I wasn't prepared for any punishments.
" You know as much as I do. " Karai and I exchanged some conserned expressions.
We headed to the main room, Oroko Saki was sat in his throne like chair. I gracefully went to my knees and so did Karai.
" Father, you asked for mine and Rikona's presence?" Karai asked cautiously. I remained emotionally blank.
" I have a mission for the pair of you. It involves some challenges but I'm sure you can both work around it. Rikona, you're exceptionally new. The two turtles saw you this evening. I want you to pretend you've left the clan and have a argument with Karai on a roof top. They will offer you a place to stay, Hamato Yoshi would welcome anyone. While your there, learn everything you can. Don't come back too soon. The suspicion will knaw at them. Stir trouble while you're there. Do it without them noticing. " Shredder explained. I nodded.
" Hai Sensi. "
This was going to be the best thing I've ever done. Undercover with a bunch of green weirdos. I looked at Karai and smiled softly.
" In the argument, We'll have to look like we're arguing. No holding back, just remember we aren't actually arguing. It's a hoax. " I said. Karai nodded.
" sounds fair to me Rikona. Just dont get caught. " She said proudly.
" Only send updates when your able to Rikona Haru. This is a delicate situation and I don't want it back firing." He glared at me.
" Hai Sensi " I said clearly before he dismissed us. I held my breath, thinking about how to start the arguing. Then the idea hit me like a rock.
