Turtles and Shen
a/n: What if the turtles saved Tang Shen at the end of the episode called take of the yokai. What if Shen moved to New York with Yoshi, and he still bought the turtles. Would shen have became their mother or left Yoshi to raise them by himself. The word for this chapter is Banana. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 1
A Long Time Ago.
Fifteen Years Ago
Hamato Yoshi pulled the hood of his kimono tighter around his now hairy face as he walked through the door. He didn't want to scare his wife. He was also carrying five baby turtles in his arms, and they were just smaller than a human new born. He walked into the sitting room of their appertment. "Shen, I have something to show you my love. Promise me you won't be afraid of them or me." He told her.
"Yoshi, why would I be afraid of you?" She asked. Yoshi gently placed down the turtles, who immediately wanted to be held again. Shen seen them and felt her heart swell. These giant turtle babies were adorable. Yoshi let his hood fall down.
"My love, this is what I don't want you to be afraid of. My appearance. I am still the same me, only I look more like a rat than what I used to."
"Yoshi, we have to leave. You and these turtles will not be safe here for very long. But we cannot take the Yokai back to Japan with us."
"Then we will find a place in the sewers of New York, and I will train them in the way of the Hamato Clan. So that they can protect them selves from anyone who will try and hurt them."
So they left and went down into the sewers with the turtles. And found a place to raise their children. "We still have to name them." Yoshi told Shen as they settled their stuff in. Shen picked up a turtle. He had eyes as blue as sapphires and reached out to grab her hair. "Your name little one will be Leonardo. You are as blue as the deepest ocean." Yoshi picked up the next turtle, who had bright green eyes and looked like he was about to cry for some reason.
"You my son will be called Raphael. And you are as red as the fire that I sense you will have." Shen picked up the next turtle.
"Why does this one have hair?" She asked, then looked down at the turtle. "I have a feeling you are a baby girl." then looked at her chestnut brown eyes that held so much happiness. "Never matter, you will be called Samantha. And you are yellow like the happiness in your soul." Yoshi picked up yet another turtle. His chestnut brown eyes looked thoughtful, and held a lot in them
"You child are donatello. You are purple, because I sense you will serve a higher purpose." They both looked down at the last turtle and held him together in their arms. His baby blue resembled the air and had a care free innocence that all children should have. "You are Michelangelo. And you are orange as you have the same energetic flare as the sun has."
"Our children. We promise to love and take care of you for as long as we shall live." Yoshi said and that promise was kept.
Five Years Later
A five year old Mikey was watching television, as his sister was getting her now very long hair brushed and put into neat little bunches. Raph was in the kitchen with Leo tidying up the mess they had made during an argument over who got the toy out of cereal box. Donnie was reading a book on how to fix his toys. "Mommy, can I go now?" Samie asked as she looked up at her mother with pleading eyes.
"Yes you may. Why don't you show Donnatello the book you are reading." Shen suggested.
"I know, I'll show master splinter. He loves it when I practice bandages on him." She yelled playfully before running off to find her father.
There was crash in the kitchen as Raph and Leo got into another fight. "Raphael, Leonardo. What are you boys doing in there?" Shen yelled through.
"Mommy, I didn't mean to. It was an accident I didn't want to hurt Raph." Leo told his mother bursting into tears. Mikey looked over from the T.V. as Spongebob Squarepants lost it's appeal.
"Mommy what happened to Raphie?" He asked nearly in tears himself.
"Michelangelo, sweetie go and get your father please. And be quick." Shen instructed. Mikey did as he was told and ran away from the kitchen.
"MASTER SPLINTER. RAPHAEL'S HURT." He called as he walked into the dojo. His father was adorned with bandages at this point.
"What. You two go into the living room and stay with Donatello until I say so." The two kids just looked at each other and done as their father told them.
Don was now at the scene of the crime. "Can I help mommy? Can I help mommy?" Donnie asked her again and again.
"Not now Donatello. Go and wait in the living room. You too Leonardo." Leo and Don done as they were told just as Spliter appeared at the kitchen door.
"What happened?" He asked. Shen explained that Raph and Leo must have been fighting again and things got out of control. Shen motioned over to the turtle tot that was lying unconcious on the kitchen floor. He had a massive crack in his plastron.
In the living room three turtles stood around Leo. "What did you do to Raph Leo?" Asked Sam. "Sensei looked really worried."
"Yeah that banging was pretty loud." Donnie added. Leo looked around the room, making sure his parents weren't around to hear him.
"I didn't mean to hurt him, but he started it. He said that I was stupid and a sensei's pet. So I hit his back then he pushed me a little. Then I pushed him back harder and he fell into the fridge. Which kinda fell on him." There was a look of shock on the faces of the three turtles before him. "Leo you need to say sorry to Raph and the fridge." Mikey told him. Spliter came out of the kitchen holding a small looking Raphael. A worried Shen came out after him, and looked over at Leo.
She came and sat down telling the other to go and play in the play room. (Which would later become the lab) They did as they were told. "Leo did you push your little brother against the fridge by accident?" She asked.
"I swear on his life that I never meant it. I only meant to push him a little. But he fell. And I'm so sorry mommy." He started crying again.
"When your brother wakes up. I will take you into the dojo so that you can apologise to him. And Leonardo you have to promise not to hit your brothers unless you are training, got it." Leo climbed on to the couch and cuddled into his mother.
"Mommy, can the others see Raph when he wakes up too?" He asked. Shen laughed at him.
"No sweetheart. It will be too much for him to handle right now." Leo went to go and play with the others who were waiting for him in the play room.
Raphael fully recovered from this terrible accident, and was soon back to causing mischief with his brothers and sister. He now had a lightning shaped crack on the top of his plastron that would never heal.
Five years After That
"Happy mutation day kids." Shen said as five sleepy children walked into the kitchen. "Eat your breakfast then meet your father in the dojo. He has a surprise for you." Shen told them. The turtles looked at each other excitedly and quickly ate their breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes. It was a special treat for their mutation day. After they finished they went into the dojo.
Master Splinter stood in front of his children looking down at them. "Did we forget to clean our bedrooms again. Or is it something else?" Mikey whispered to Don who was standing beside him.
"My children. I have a surprise for you. Leonardo step forward." Splinter held up a length of blue fabric with eye holes cut into them. "Leonardo. I am giving you blue as you have the same qualities as the sea. Calm, but still dangerous and unforgiving." He wrapped the cloth around his eyes. "Raphael step forward." This time Splinter held up a length of red fabric with eye holes cut out. "Raphael. I am giving you red, because you have fire in you that you have yet to tame. A fire that has potential to allow you to do beautiful things." He wrapped the cloth around his eyes. "Samantha step forward." Again he held up a length of fabric only this time it was yellow. "Samantha I am giving you yellow because you are filled with happiness." He wrapped the fabric around her eyes. "Donatello step forward." He held up fabric that was purple. "Donatello I am giving you purple because you have the potential to do great things." He wrapped the cloth around his eyes. "Michelangelo step forward." Splinter held up the last piece of fabric which was orange. "Michelangelo I am giving you orange because you are energetic like the sun." He wrapped the cloth around his eyes and stood facing the turtles. "My children with these masks comes responsibility. I have trusted you enough to give you each a mask. Not only do masks represent responsibility, but they hide your identities and keep your faces hidden when in times of need you five can call upon all I have and all I will teach you to face your enemy's to keep your selves hidden from the outside world." Spinter finished his speech and allowed his children to leave.
It was that same day when the turtles realised that this was the start of the next level of their training. Leo was hoping that they got to work with weapons like Sai and nunchucks and even swords would be fun. The rest of the day was brilliant. Their mother had went grocery shopping and brought back chocolate cake for after dinner. She also made their favourite dinner for them. They also had proper presents to open. Leo got a Captain Ryan action figure. Raph got wrestle mania action figures with a real wrestling ring. Sam got a real doctors set that had everything she needed to be the medic and doctor that she always wanted to be. Don got some electronics that he was allowed to break apart and fix to his own content. And Mikey got a practical joke set that he would use to drive everybody round the bend with. It was a lovely day and it ended the way it always did, with all five kids in bed sleeping happily and the parents having a quiet night in the living room talking about the day they had.
