Third person talking
Dawn rose from the other side of the world to start the day, fresh and bright as ever. Even quiet at this time of hour; however, many are awaking. Especially two at a private airport, one older woman and the other is a teenager girl; both having a sad frown upon their faces.
The older woman has black greyish hair, showing signs that the women is getting a bit older than imagine; along with blue jeans and a white shirt. Wearing a brown leather coat , with her black sneakers; along with baby blue eyes looking down at the phone. While having a backpack strap over her shoulder, while humming with her hair breeze through; putting her phone in her pocket so she could tie her hair up into a high ponytail.
The teenager girl; however never looks alike the older woman, bit shorter in her age than many others. Having to deal with her brown, long, and straight hair in two braids, with a white hat on her head on backwards of the hat, keeping the girls bangs out of the way of her face. Having greenish yellow eyes, along with freckles upon her cheeks. Having black, ripped up, saggy jeans along with a white tank top with her white hoodie on with along her neon green vans. Having two sack bags next to her with her backpack on her backpack, the girl starts on playing on her phone, while sitting down waiting for the plane.
"How far is the private jet is now Mom?" the teenager asked the older woman known as, mom; letting out a sigh while asking the question. The older women didn't bother look away from her phone screen, kept quiet not answering her daughter's question.
"It would be nice of you to actually talk to be mom and answer my damn question" the teenager cursed at the older women. The older woman looked up from her phone, having an angry face, "do not talk to me in that tone young lady" the older woman pointed at her daughter.
"Oh you should start on talking, you should get off of your phone and answer my question, like a normal mother would" the teenager told her mother in a mocking tone.
The older woman puts her baby blue eyes back to the phone screen, the teenager gave a huff while getting up on her feet stretching up. Her yellowish green eyes opened up to see something in the sky, narrowing her eyes a bit more. She pointed up looking at her mother, "hey ms. phone geek look up, isn't that our plane?" the teenager asked in an insulting way. Her mother gave her a sharp glare to put the teenager back in her place, the teenager kept a stone face with an eye roll.
"Whatever phone geek, don't even answer that hard question" the teenager gave a sharp glare back at her mother.
"Sakura you know far too well that you shouldn't treat your own mother like this" the mother said in greedy tone.
"Yeah you shouldn't be ignoring me cause I think you like that phone more than me, I just ask a question not too long ago, and no answer. So who's fault it is? Oh I don't know the phone my daughter is so rude to me I shouldn't even answer" the teenager mocked at her mother, known as Sakura.
"Don't you see me working, working my ass off for you, so shut the hell up and don't talk to me that tone of yours and treat me like your mother" the mother said to her daughter.
"I just did, I won't stop treating you like that until you treat me as your daughter that you actually care and love about, like dad did. Your right I won't talk to you at all until you change your damn attitude of ms greedy of needing damn nice attention" Sakura told her mother, as she picked up her two sack bags.
The jet landed on the ground, Sakura starts on walking towards it; then a man with an fancy suit with sunglasses. Sakura stop couple of feet away from him, "are you the Ai family?" the man asked, Sakura nodded. The man leads Sakura into the jet.
The girl sat away from her mother, get her sketchbook out and starts on drawing along with plugging her ears in with her music.
Time skip
Sakura opened her yellowish green eyes, after accidentally falling asleep during the flight, from Japan to New York. Letting out a loud yawn, stretching her arms out; after Sakura done that. Her glaze looks down to her unfinished drawing; letting out a sigh, starts on cleaning up her mess.
"Sakura we landed!" she heard her mother called out at her, she kept silent; still remembering that she is going to speak to her own mother for a while.
After picking up her stuff, she gotten her bags all ready to go, getting up from her seat picking up her bags up along she goes. Walking a bit far ahead then her mother, without a single word.
Sakura went over to grab her suitcase, a big purple one, starts rolling it over away from the other people. And waits for her mother to come over, looking down at her phone.
After her mother gotten her suitcase, she starts walking to one of the doors. Along with Sakura following quickly. Getting into a private car quickly, driving into New York City.
Sakura looks at the time of her phone, 12:00 am, her yellowish green eyes widened in a bit of shock at the time it is. Putting her phone away in her hoodie pocket, looking out at the window. To see old or new ish buildings each that they passed by.
The private car stopped, at the red light.
Sakura glaze looks up at the roof to see four figures up on the roof. 'Weird Americans go on roofs, that's new' she thought in her mind. As she studied a little on the four figures.
The light turned green, the car starts driving up to take a turn. Sakura leaves her glaze away from the four figures, look at front of her. Looking over at her mother still being on her phone, Sakura rolls her yellowish green eyes, before looking into her's.
Finally getting into the new place that her mother rarely talks about. Sakura looks up at it, 'strange she normally gets the ones that look fancy' Sakura thought. Looking at the bricked classic old codo, her mother unlocks the door, going inside.
Then a horrifying scream came inside from the codo home and a gunshot sound after the scream.
Sakura dashes inside the building, ready for a fight for her mother's life. But when she gotten inside the house she sees her mother laying on the floor. With a small pool of blood.
"Mom mom" a sound of tone of panic and worry in her voice. Sakura checked her mother's pulse, letting out relieving sigh. 'still a heartbeat that's good, now to call help'
Sakura pulls out her phone, starts dialing a emergency number. A lot of sirens coming to where she is at, when the ambulance arrive they taken her mother to hospital. The police starts on talking to Sakura, about questions of what she saw or heard.
"Is that all Ms. Ai?" The police officer asked Sakura, "yes, I heard the scream then a gunshot, then I came rushing in here, seeing a widow open" Sakura answered the officer.
While he starts on reading to take a report in, "Alright we'll track down whoever did it, you'll get a phone call if your mother is alive if not we'll come here and talk to you what will happen" the officer told Sakura.
"What am I pose to do then, what happens when the same guys comes again?" Sakura asked the officer. He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know figure something out" then the police left the building.
"Great that's so helpful, now some trapping around the house, and look for something that could be good for a weapon" Sakura lets out a sigh. Looking around the place. Putting thumb tacks on the door steps, but hidden in a very thin mat. Locking up the windows, and putting a pot and a chair over at the two doors. While Sakura was setting out some stuff, she found a weapon, a old metal bat. Not having the time to unpack her bags at all, she knew she would have plenty of time to do so in the morning.
"Alright let's patrol around the house after all you're not gonna get an inch of sleep, Sakura" she starts on talking to herself. After patrolling around the house at least three times. She sat on the stairs, still having a bat in her hands ready to protect herself.
Time Skip
The sunlight hits Sakura's face, as her eyes twitches opening her yellowish green eyes. Letting out a yawn, getting up from the stairs, still having the bat in her hands. As she walked down to the kitchen. "Shit forgot no food" she cursed. Letting out a sigh, feeling her phone vibrate. She picked it up answering the call.
"Alright thank you for helping her" Sakura said to the phone, before hanging up. Letting out a relieving sigh, then a knock at the door sound echoes around Sakura's ear. She creeped up to the door, looking through the little hole, to see a woman and a man. Hiding the bat behind her back, as she opened the door.
"Umm hello?" She answered sounding innocent worry teenager. As the couple look at Sakura in a concern look, but having a warm smile. Giving her a wrapped up sandwich.
"Thank you" she nods her head thankful for getting a bit of help.
"No problem, that's what neighbors are for, plus we heard what had happened last night. I hope your mother is alright" the older girl with dark orange hair and green eyes. Said with a smile, trying to cheer up Sakura.
"Yeah they just called me that she will be find, but it would be about five weeks until she comes home. Meaning about five weeks of doing night guarding" Sakura said to the older girl with a fake smile.
"Oh dear, that sounds tough especially at your age, did you gotten any sleep last night?" The older girl asked Sakura.
"I gotten a little bit from the flight coming up her from Japan, and a little bit while guarding this place. I can you that I was about to swing this bat at whoever tries breaking into my new home" Sakura said to the older girl.
"Oh wow your from Japan, I didn't expect that at all, well I'm April and this is my husband Casey" April greetings herself and Casey to Sakura.
"Nice to meet you I'm Sakura, yeah my father is from America came over to Japan and met my mother."
"Nice to meet you as well Sakura, oh and here is my phone number if you need anything" April gave Sakura a small piece of paper with her phone number on it. Sakura takes it gently and puts it in her hoodie pocket, "thank you" Sakura gave a thankful nod.
Casey didn't say anything, but with his blue eyes judging on Sakura just a little bit. As Sakura caught the look a couple of times.
"Alright we'll come back later to check on you Sakura, be careful with the gang around here" April said as she walked away.
"Be careful with the Purple Dragons" Sakura looked at Casey in a confusing look. Then he walks off, Sakura closes her front door again, putting a chair there so it won't be easy to get inside the house. Then puts a pot there just in case.
Sakura sits down on the stairs case, unwraps the sandwich from the paper. And starts eating the sandwich, "damn New York has the best sandwich" Sakura made a comment about the sandwich after finishing it.
She grabs her bat again, "another patrol around the house would do, plus some exploring to do" Sakura said to herself as she starts walking up stairs.
Walking around the second floor of the place, finding a room that she likes, that's close to the exit of the fireplace.
After finishing her patrol, she went over to her bags and start going upstairs to the room to call her own. Putting her bags there, then starts to unpack her stuff. Putting on new clothes on, putting on a black shirt with yin symbol on it. Having it be a short sleeve shirt, along with dark blue jeans with holes at the knee area. She then unravels her braids making her dark brown hair really curling.
As the morning became midday, Sakura kept on patrolling around the house, soon taken a little nap. Mostly getting ready for tonight to guard again tonight, even more for five weeks.
Laying at the window landing, in her room leading up against the wall. Sleeping from being a bit drain from staying up about almost 24 hours.
"No" she mumbles from her sleep, before jerking up in a gasp, panting. "On good just a dream, I thought-" her sentence became into a stop after hearing a knock at the door.
She picked up her bat, and walks down stairs, removing the chair. And the pot, opening the door, to only see Casey.
"Hello?" Sakura greeted Casey with a confused look upon her face.
"Hey, April sent me over here to check on ya" Casey told Sakura she gave a tired nod to the man. Letting him inside the house.
"Man it must be really wired without having any furniture around is it?" Casey asked Sakura, laying the tip of the bat on her shoulder.
"Nah not really, I'm not always comfortable in any places, I have a good reason for it, but I just wish that I have my bed instead of stairs and a window landing to sleep on." Sakura told Casey.
"That sucks, and it also looks like you guys really just came in, and you would have to deal with this" Casey said his comment.
"It's a full time job actually, my mother is part of an organization that would make a risk of me getting hurt. Even so told me not to learn how to fight, I went in the dojo for about five years after my father gave the green light to do so" Sakura told Casey. He gave a shocking look at Casey.
"You deal with this a lot do you?" Casey asked Sakura, she nodded without saying no words. Stretching the back of his head, looking at Sakura.
"With my mom being gone a lot, I'm a bit more independent, she did say that she is going to be around a bit more. But likely, we don't get along that well" Sakura told Casey.
"Man you having it rough to give up your childhood a bit earlier" Casey said to Sakura, handing her another sandwich. "Oh here's some food, for tonight, April should be able to come over to check on ya" Casey said as he opens the door then leaves from Sakura's place.
She locks the door putting the chair front of the door then putting a pot on the chair.
Walks up to her room laying at window landing, and starts on eating the sandwich quickly. Looking over at her radio, turning it on her punk rock on.
As she sets up more traps inside the house, like a tripwire on the stairs, with filled up paint buckets waiting to hit someone in the head. Putting up a big fake spider at the back door, along with the thumbtacks she puts nails along with them too.
"There" she said to herself, while she walks over up to the staircase going upstairs. To her room, turns off the radio, to listen in quite home.
Then she heard someone walking up on the roof, 'who the hell would startup this shit?' she thought as she opened her window. Climbing out of the window to the fire escape. And starts going up on the roof, when she did. She didn't went on the fully on the roof. Just poking her head up, "hmm what would make that sound or who?" She said to herself quietly.
She stalked around the roof, to find nothing; however, that won't stop Sakura. Figuring it out on her own of what's going on. Hearing a couple of soft footsteps, 'it could be the people on the streets as well' Sakura thought. As she lets out a yawn, starts on heading turns the fire escape.
Climbing down to her window, getting into her home, closing her window locking it.
Sakura pulls out her phone, checking the time, "great and it's only about 1:00 clock in the morning" she lays her hand on her head. Looking a bit tired and dizzy. As she gave one last check around her home. Before laying down on the window landing next to th for escape. Looking out at the window, to see an alley and put in the night sky. To see clouds making themselves known within the sky. Then her eyes landed on the roof again. To see the same figure from two mornings ago. 'I wonder why I see those weird people around this hour?' she question herself in her mind.
She folded her arms slowly, getting comfortable as best she could, still having the bat in her arms. Closing her yellowish green eyes, falling asleep.
Along with her falling asleep, the figure came closer to the window after it noticing her looking at itself. As some light hits the dark figure, to see green skin, and a orange ninja mask. With nunchucks on both side of his belt, having a turtle shell on his back.
His eyes looks curiously looking at the girl that sleepy on the window landing. Almost too curious about her, as she held a bat in her hands, while sleeping.
Then the tall orange mask turtle, jumps away from sight, into darkness.
I do hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and seeing much of the conflict right in the beginning; yet, I'm sorry that I had done that, but this is going to show Sakura's character a bit more. As you all seen the arguing with her mother and most of her past life in Japan; however, that was a brief of it.
Couple next chapters are going to be slow, when meeting the turtles; just to make it more realistic for her to meet the turtles. She might meet one of them the next chapter, but one spoiler I can say for the next chapter. She will not be friendly towards them for the next two or three chapters.
Sorry if my writing style is a bit wrecked, I'm still learning and describing every detail there is to this story, think this chapter is long I might make it even more longer.
But the next chapter should be posted soon, I won't say date because I have that forgetting mind, so whenever is the word you might be all thinking.
See ya in the next chapter!
