Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT. Thank you.

It was hard to think up and idea for a fanfic especially my first one. Thanks to Kimininja03 I thought up the idea of a modern medieval time human AU. I hope you all like it. Thanks for reading!

Raph's POV

The market place was covered in people and I knew that this was the perfect time for my favorite type of work. Xever was beside me as we looked around at all the poor people who have no idea what was coming their way.

"Raphael, are you prepared?" Xever asked with a wicked grin. His dark brown eyes shown with excitement and I knew my dark blue eyes reflected the same excitement. We went are rounds and finished with a stash of food and money to last us a little while. I was never rich and I could think the nobles for that. They took everything form the people and left us to starve why they had party after party and stuffed their faces with the best of everything.

I have Xever to think for the fact that I am alive today. He has spent my entire life teaching me how to keep myself alive. I was cast away by my parents when I was just old enough to eat real food. Xever said that he found me beaten and bleeding. He took me to his physician friend named Rockwell who helped me heal. Since that time Xever has taken me under his wing and taught me everything. We walked back to our house and looked at our accomplishments in wonder.

"I think we are going to be eating good this time little fighter!" Xever cheered. Xever rubbed my head before I had a chance to dodge his hand.

"It is about time don't you think?" I asked. Xever and I burst into laughter as we ran around the half broken wooden table in the middle of the room.

Donnie's POV

"Another patient done with Donatello. You have a gift for healing child." Dr. Rockwell said and he rubbed my head affectionately. I loved the fact that I was taken in by Dr. Rockwell. When I was found on the rutted streets by Rockwell I was in pain and thought I wouldn't survive. I loved my parents and I thought that they loved me to but not long after my first birthday they threw me out of there wagon and onto a pile of rocks. It knocked my front tooth out. Because of that incident I now have a permanent gap in my teeth. Rockwell found me not long after my parents tossed me to my death and brought me back here to heal me. I was fascinated with all the strange utensils that surrounded his office but what do you expect from a one year old.

As time flew by Dr. Rockwell started to teach me everything he knows about his craft. He called me his apprentice. I could not have asked for anything better than that.

We started to close down the house when a bloody hand slammed against the door window. I held back a yelp as I opened the door and took the black haired boy in the direction of Dr. Rockwell. The kid looked up at me and I took notice of the bright light green eyes staring up at me.

"I will go and get the doctor. Please wait here." I said calmly but I felt nothing calming about what was about to happen in this place.

Leo's POV

I saw as one of the high palace guards exited the shabby house of the thief and I knew something fishy was about to happen. I never really trusted the palace guard but what could I do about him. Casey was born a noble while I was just taken in by one who just so happen to be the son of our king. I work hard for what I get and I strive to do everything to the best of my abilities. Not Casey. He was a selfish man and did nothing to help others but when it came to himself he was all for it. I bet he went to this place to get in on some of the stolen goods. Casey left the house and walked off in the direction of the palace which meant that I could get on with my job.

I got up from my hiding place and started off in the direction of the thief's house. The place was on the verge of falling and I feared that it would fall down if the wind blew in the wrong direction. Why did they not move to a different house and become honest people? I reached the door only to have it open before I had a chance to knock.

"Hello sir my name is Leonardo Balform and I would appreciate it if you would please come with me." I said seriously. I hated being kind to someone who went against the system that has kept us all safe thus far.

"No sir I will not. I have done nothing wrong and I also don't like your kind." The thief remarked quickly. The guy was tall and had dark black hair that covered part of his left eye and had long sideburns. He had dark brown eyes that reflected the seriousness in my eyes tenfold. I was not going to move from the spot I stood until he came with me.

"Sir I have eye witnesses to the fact that you were at the market place where many things were stolen. Please come with me now sir!" I said. I wish I could just drag him back to my master.

"So. A lot of different people were at the market place today. Today was market day correct?"

"Yes sir it was and that means that the chances of theft were high sir I would like to check your house for some of the stolen objects."

"No."

"Sir I must warn you that I have witnesses that saw you stealing so move aside before I have to use force." The thief turned around and looked around the small in closed space and let out a sigh before looking back at me and moving aside.

"Xever!" I heard someone yell from behind me. I turned sharply and saw Casey running in the direction of the house. I looked at the thief that I now knew as Xever who was looking at Casey with fear.

"Casey go back this is my job and I do not want you anywhere near my suspect." I demanded.

"Leonardo please stop this. He didn't do anything. He was just at the market place looking for me!" Casey all but yelled at me.

"Go home Casey this is my job." I commanded.

"Young gentlemen please stop this. Is there really any need to fight? I have come to find that it is extremely pointless." Xever said with a small roll of his eyes. I was about ready to fight this guy but I held back. Casey looked at Xever and covered up a small laugh.

"Nothing about this is slightly amusing. Please come with me sir. This is the last chance I will give you." I commanded.

"Ok Leonardo please come inside and try to find any of the missing objects. If you find nothing then please leave me alone. If you find anything then I with go with you and accept my punishment." Xever said and welcomed both Casey and I in the house. Casey followed me in the house and I looked around to find anything that seemed strange in the distraught house. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary or seemed like something that he couldn't get by just a little bit of work. Then I saw it. There was a package in the far corner half covered by a thin cover. I walked over to it and yanked the cover back. I got him now. In the package was a pair of Japanese style Sais. I was fascinated with the Japanese culture so I noticed what they were instantly. I picked them up and turned towards the thief and selfish guard.

"Where did you get these?" I asked with a knowing smile. I knew I had him and now he did too

"Casey got them made for me and I paid for them with money I earned." Xever said smartly. I cast a quick glance to Casey who nodded and smiled at me.

"Why?"

"Because I have a friend that would love they and I knew that he needed a way to protect himself. He is coming tomorrow to get them for his birthday." Xever replied.

"Yeah isn't he turning 15 tomorrow right?" Casey asked turning towards Xever.

"Now is not the time to be doing this men." I snapped. They didn't seem to hear me and my nerves snapped. I threw the Sais on the floor and pulled out my sword. I pointed it at the thief and motioned towards the door. He started to move in that direction only to go under the sword and moved in my direction. Casey tried to stop me but it only ended up with him getting hurt. I cut Casey around his abdomen and when I swung around I cut deep into Xever's leg right above the knee. Blood gushed out of his leg and I panicked I raced and grabbed the first thing I could to splint his leg and stop the blood flow. After that I released my weapon and ran as fast as I could in the direction of home.

As I ran home I knew that what had happened would disappoint my master and I owed my master my life. When I was a little boy only a few weeks away from my second birthday my mother and father decided that they didn't want me anymore. Mother was pregnant with her second child who was soon to come but they didn't have the funds to take care of two children. They took me to a village and were going to sell me off so they had money to take care of my new baby brother or sister. I was willing since I loved the fact that I was helping take care of a new life even if I never meet that life.

Once we got to the village it wasn't hard to find someone who wanted to buy a little kid. The bad thing about it was the person was a man who wanted me for impure things. He paid for me and we got around a foot away from the disappearing wagon when August Balform stopped the man and took me away from him. August took me under his wing and raised me as his own son. If it wasn't for the noblemen and August I would be a lost child with no life. I do not know how someone could go against the people who are working so hard to keep everyone safe.

I walked up the giant staircase that lead to the floor that August and I lived on. August walked up to me with a warm smile on his face. His light orange hair was damp like he had just came from a shower or practice. His blue eyes shown with pride as he looked at me. I wished I was a turtle right now so I could tuck myself in my shell and hide.

"Master, I am sorry, I didn't get him but I did hurt him and Casey. I am terribly sorry." I mumbled as I moved back and held back the tears that threatened to pour out. August walked towards me and pulled me to him as he wrapped me in a warm hug. He rubbed my head and shushed me to calm me as I slowly relaxed in his arms. He did this a lot when I was a little boy and had panic attacks.

Mikey's POV

"Oh look Leatherhead it's a kitty cat. It's chasing a baby bird. Look! Leatherhead look!" I screamed as I pulled on his sleeve hard. I wanted to jump up on his back like I did when I was little but Dad told me to stop that. Epically since the assassination attempts have gotten more frequent recently. We have tried to play it off as I was dad's jester and not his ward but no one believes that since Leatherhead and Spike follow me everywhere. Also the only people that Dad likes are his daughter Karai, his ward me, his physician and knight Leatherhead, Leatherheads knight brother Spike, and his right hand man Chris. I loved all of them since I was alive because of them.

I heard this story from Dad since I don't remember back that far. According to him I was born early and very sick because of it. He said that my mom threw me out of the wagon really hard and if he hadn't caught me then I would have when head first in the castle walls. The king of the kingdom Shredder caught me as I was flying through the air. He took me under his wing and helped me get better his wife also liked me and helped feed me until I started eating real food. Her daughter Karai loved the fact that there was another kid to hang out with. She was almost a year older than me. After Dad or Shredder announced the future marriage of me and Karai, I started to get assassination attempts. The first one I got away from by myself because they didn't realize how slim my wrist really were and I got away rather quick. I ended up having Leatherhead's brother Spike assigned to be my body guard, Leatherhead was always with me since I was a baby so it seemed natural to assign his brother to me. Leatherhead took care of me when I was sick but he is also a major awesome knight.

"Mikey please stay close to either me or my brother. You are in danger at all times." Spike came up beside me and said.

"Sorry Spike. I was just daydreaming like always. You know how jesters are." I smiled up at him. I looked over at Leatherhead and wondered if he would give me a piggyback ride.

"Come my friend you may climb on my back." Leatherhead said with a warm smile. I ran back and jumped on his back full force. We headed back to the castle where Shredder was waiting for me. I jumped off Leatherhead and ran full force to Shredder.

"Daddy!" I screamed as I jumped in his arms. He hugged me tightly and let out a small laugh. Karai came around and looked up at her father.

"It's my turn now." She said calmly. I got out of Shredders arms and hugged Karai tight. We went back inside as I walked hand in hand with my sister, fiancé, childhood friend Karai.
