Raphael pulled his hood down tighter and his coat closer together. The chilly New York night air pushing through his clothes, making his green skin more of a pinkish color.

Downtown NYC was a dark and dangerous place, especially at night. In the distance sirens and yelling could be heard, along with an occasional plane or moaning. It was around 1:00 AM and Raphael walked down the streets knowing that the only people out at this time would be thugs. It's not like they could hurt him. He was a Ninja Turtle! What could hurt him?

The Ninja Turtle had left his home in the sewer almost an hour ago after his annoying brother Leonardo had set him off.

"'Don't charge into danger' he says. 'Don't be stupid' he says. At least I'm not as stupid as Mikey." He muttered. His warm breath causing a cloud of white air to be seen.

Raph turned into an ally and immediately stretched his back to the wall. There was a dark figure. All he could see was a big black sweatshirt with the hood up and baggy black sweat pants. The clothes almost looked like they were drowning the person who was walking in them.

The beat of the club he was leaning against thumped steadily and he could feel it pounding at him through the brick wall. The hooded figure looked towards the club and he could almost hear the person sigh. They reached into their pocket for who knows what before turning to where Raphael was standing. The first thing that screamed in his head was Knife! Seeing as the moon glinted off of it.

Raphael didn't think.

He whipped out his sai's, sprinted towards the figure and pounced like a lion attacking its prey. He was surprised when his prey fell down so effortlessly with a surprised cry of pain.

He pushed his forearm against the persons collar and put the tip of his sai against their neck. A shadow loomed over the persons face so he couldn't tell who-or what- they were. There was a moment of silence when the only thing to be heard between the two of them was heavy breathing.

The silence was finally met with a soft voice.

"Please," It whispered softly. "don't hurt me." By the way the person was breathing, they sounded as if they were on the brink of tears.

Tears? Raphael thought, Are they trying to fool me or something?

Instead of moving, Raph just pushed the person harder against the cool concrete.

"Who are you?" He asked menacingly. "What were you trying to threaten me with?"

"I-I didn't threaten you I-I swear-" The soft voice answered alarmingly. What was this crazy person doing to them?

The turtle got closer. "You pulled a knife out of your pocket and turned on me. What were you trying to do? Play with me?"

"N-n-nothing! I don't have a knife, just my phone, I p-pulled my phone out. I didn't know you were there, I swear!" The person tried to explain. "Please, what do you want? Don't hurt me! Please!"

The mutant seemed a bit surprised and loosened his grip, staring at the person strangely.

"Who are you?" He asked again.

"Kyle!" They exclaimed. "My name's Kyle."

After a moment of thinking, Raphael finally got off, he stood at their feet and watched as the person scrambled up.

The hooded figures hood fell off.

Raphael tried to hold his a gasp.

It was a girl! A freaking girl! Man, did he feel like a dick.

She had white-blond hair that was in two loose braids and bright blue eyes. She was about 5'3 and had a round, childlike face. He swear he felt his heart stop.

"What are you doing here?" He asked quickly, before she could run away. "It's not safe here this late at night."

She looked at him for a moment, thinking if she should tell him or not. Finally deciding to, she spoke softly.

"My friend's in this club." she said. Glancing to the building beside them. "She was drunk and she called me. I wanted to make sure she was safe getting home."

"How old are you?" The mutant asked. She seemed too young to have friends that go to clubs.

Kyle paused.

"I'm eighteen." Raphael said.

She took a deep breath. "I'm seventeen." She replied.

They stood in an awkward silence. Neither one daring to move.

Raph finally leaned against the wall opposite from the club and slid down until he was sitting.

"I'll stay with you." He said before he could think about it. Did he really want to stay here with this girl he just met for who nows how long?

Kyle started to protest but Raphael wouldn't let her. "It's too late for someone to be out here alone."

"You are." She replied, looking into his green eyes that seemed to glow in the dark.

He smirked. "Someone like me is fine. Someone like you is not."

"I'll be perfectly fine." She argued. Her voice had stayed soft and Raph wondered if it always stayed that way. This girl seemed shy and outspoken, and like she couldn't even hurt a fly.

"Say that after you get mugged or raped out here on the sidewalk."

Kyle seemed like she wanted to go on but stopped herself. Seeing his point, she decided that it might be fine to have him stay here. She might have better chances of staying safe.

She went beside him and also sat down against the wall.

~X~

"So how long until you friend comes out?" Raphael asked Kyle, seeing how they had been sitting out there for at least two hours just talking.

"I'm not sure." She said. "Hopefully soon." For some reason she didn't want to leave, she was hoping her friend would be a while longer.

There was that silence again. It just seemed to keep creeping up on them.

"What school do you go to?" Kyle asked.

"I'm home schooled."

They sat there for another moment of silence.

"You know, my hood's off." She broke the quiet with her sweet voice once again, "You can take yours off too."

Raph snorted. "I feel like you wouldn't like my face." He said.

"Don't think badly of yourself." She smiles. "I'm sure its not too awfully bad. It's not like I'm here to judge you anyways."

"And what if it is?"

"Then I'll run away screaming."

"Pft. Very funny."

"I'm serious though." She said. "I'm not going to judge you."

"It's unlike anything you've ever seen." He warned is a ghost like tone.

"I'm sure I can handle it."

He gave her a small smile. "Maybe some other time."

"Will we see each other again?"

As he was thinking of a reply when a door slams and a stumbling girl comes out and starts to puke by the dumpster.

Kyle immediately jumped up. "Ramona!" She ran over to her and started to pat and rub her back.

The puking girl-Ramona- gave one last spit before standing up and stumbling on her shorter friend. She was a tall and lean girl with dark brown hair tied up into a pony tail. Her bangs were straight and stopped right before they hit her eye.

She giggled. "I'm fine Ky, a just drank a sip too much. Thats all."

Yeah, Raph thought sarcastically. Just a sip too much.

"Lets get you home." Kyle told her.

"You didn't have to come here. I'd be fine on my own." The stumbly girl replied.

"Not unless you want to get robbed or murdered, Mona." Kyle told her and then looked at her watching companion. "You can go home if you want to. We should be fine together."

"I'm not so sure..." Raph replied, getting up from the ground.

"Who's this?" Mona asked, stumbling over to him. The last moment before getting to him she gave a slight trip and fell into his underside shell. "Whoa," She patted his chest. "You work out a lot or somethin'?"

"I guess you could say that." He replied warily, trying to back up.

Kyle started forward, her hand extended to her drunken friend.

"Mona-"

"You look kinda scary with that hood on," Mona started, and before any of them knew, she threw up her hand started to pull his hood down.

"No!" Raphael jumped back, but once he landed, his hood fell back all the way.

Both of the girls gasped as they stared at his green head. Ramona screamed and backed up to her shorter friend.

"K-k-kyle!"

Kyle was frozen in place, staring wide-eyed at her acquaintance she had made that night. Raph dared to move, he stepped forward. Reaching out to her, she took a step back.

"Wait-" He started.

Mona grabbed onto her friend and pulled her back forcibly.

"Let's get out of here! Now!"

Kyle took a couple steps back before turning and running with her best friend.

The ninja turtle lowered his arm.

"No.." He said softly. "Wait..."
