Hey, guys, this will be my first multiple chapter story on here and it possibly could be short. I hope it's good enough for you to enjoy!

April had just awoken from her slumber. She pushed herself off of the couch she had slept on and wandered to the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water. She looked outside the window above the sink and noticed that the turtles were all sparring along with Casey Jones. Raphael had been sparring against Casey while Donatello and Michelangelo were sparring against each other. Leonardo had been eyeing their sparring while sitting on a tree stump, encouraging them all to do their best.

April placed her hand on the ledge of the kitchen counter, drinking her water. She thought, I need to up my training a bit. Besides, I'm almost a full-blown kunoichi! Setting down her glass, she brushed her teeth, grabbed her tessen and headed outside. She moved away from harm's way and walked next to Leo, giving him a small, warm smile.

"Morning, April," Leonardo greeted, his voice a little husky.

"Morning, Leo," April replied, placing her hand on his shoulder as a friendly and comforting gesture. Leo was still being hard on himself because of his leg, but he had been getting a little better lately. "How long have you guys been awake?"

"Oh, not that long," Leo chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, it's just- we all got a pretty weird wake up call. I'm surprised you didn't wake up yourself."

"Well, you can't leave me wondering, Leo," April replied, becoming intrigued as to what he was talking about. "C'mon, tell me!"

"Hmm, I dunno," Leo said, giving her a smug look. "Maybe later, O'Neil."

"Psht, fine," she whined, crossing her arms and turning her head away. She heard Leo give another little chuckle, then a little hiss. She quickly turned her head back around and leaned down a bit. "Leo, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Leo said, giving her a reassuring smile. "I kinda laughed til my ribs started to hurt."

"Okay, good," April sighed, relieved. "By the way..."

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering if I could spar with the guys."

"Oh, sure you can. We'll just wait 'til one of the guys-"

"No, I mean," she chuckled, trying to explain herself. "I just- I know I've been getting better and all, but I really want to get one on one with the turtles. Like, no holding back, yanno?"

"Isn't that what you guys usually do?" Leo asked, becoming puzzled. "I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're getting at, April."

"Like," she grunted quietly, forming her speech in her head. "Okay, like, I can feel when the guys are going a bit easy or aren't trying their hardest. So, I just really want to do a sparring with each of them and have them give me their best shots. Do you get it?"

Leonardo thought this out, his eyes narrowing down a bit. He looked around. He saw that Raphael had taken Casey out and had won their sparring session. Meanwhile, Donatello and Michelangelo were still sparring- well, sort of. Mikey had been using his dance moves to avoid Donnie's attacks, making Donnie a tad upset, which transpired to a lecture on how Mikey should focus, which led to Raph coming out from behind Donnie and hitting him upside the head, which led out to an argument against the hothead and the genius. Leo sighed, grabbed his crutch to pull himself to his feet, and looked at April. He nodded.

"Okay, April. I'll tell the guys. But, you know you're asking for them to not hold back no matter what, right?"

"Leo, I know that I could get hurt. Well, more likely, I might hurt someone else."

"Uh huh," Leo smiled. "Go on."

"Anyways, I'm just saying, I know what I'm asking. I just want a real full on sparring so that I can know what to improve in my training. I just want to become a great kunoichi, Leo."

"I hear you, April. I'll break the guys up," Leo said as he made his way to his brothers and Casey.

April sat on the stump Leo had been sitting on and thought over what could transpire from it all. She breathed slowly and closed her eyes, easing her mind. She pulled out her tessen from her back pocket, grasping it as tightly as she could.

I hope this was a good start to this story! I know it's not much, but it'll be spiced up real soon.
