Before I forget, this story has the 1990's and 2000s version of TMNT. So you people won't be confused with this story.
I hear my clock go off at 6 am, I try to put it on snooze but master Splinter came in and told me it's time to get up. Apparently he doesn't understand that to me morning starts at noon. I groggily got ready for the day and walk down to the kitchen. I freeze as I watch them eat pizza with oatmeal, raisins, and honey for toppings. Wow, I thought. But I ate it and to tell you the truth it isn't that bad.
"Hey Sam, are you ready to meet your future husband?" Don asks teasingly. I nearly choke on a bite of my pizza.
"What?" I ask.
"Usagi is supposed to come over today, along with Obentoe."
Wow master Splinter didn't waste any time with this, I thought. I chose to forget about it and go on with my day.
"When are they coming?" I ask, not really caring. I hear the secret entrance door open.
"Now, I guess." Leo says getting up to see who it was. I look out into the dojo area where the entrance is.
"Hey Leo." April says waving to Leo.
"Hi April." Leo says. I don't pay attention to what they're saying, my attention is on the 5 foot white rabbit in a blue kimono shirt with black slacks and sandals. In his arms is a sleeping brown puppy.
I duck back into the kitchen and act like I don't notice them. Soon after Don, Mikey, and Raph finish their breakfast and leave to do whatever it is that giant turtles do in the morning. I start washing up the dishes for Leo since he's busy and I have nothing else to do. I'm washing a plate when I feel two little paws against my leg. I look down and there on it's hind legs is the puppy the rabbit man was holding. I dry off my hands and pick up the little guy. His tail is wagging away like no tomorrow.
"Awww aren't you cute." I said to the puppy. It's response, many attempts to lick my face off.
"I hope he hasn't disturbed you in any way." I look towards the door and see the rabbit man. He's watching me as if he were observing me.
"No, not at all." I said putting the puppy down. "Who are you anyway?"
"Miyomoto Usagi."
I turn my attention back to him. "You're Usagi?"
"Yes and I'm looking for Samuriaya, have you seen her?"
"You're looking at her."
Usagi seems just as surprised as I am. I sit down at the table and the pup jumps on my lap and makes himself comfy there.
"Does this little guy have a name?" I ask rubbing its ears.
"His name is Lucky and he can be a handful at times." Usagi says sitting down as well.
"All puppies are." I point out.
Usagi laughs a little "Yes, that's true."
"This your dog or Obentoes?"
"Obentoes, he wants me to look after him for the day."
We talk for a while, then I see a Japanese man in a traditional kimono standing at the door way.
"Hi, can I help you?" I ask.
"It's alright Sam, this is Obentoe. The dude looking after Usagi." Mikey says as he passes by.
"Yes, I was supposed to come with Usagi earlier but I had errands to run." Obentoe says.
"It's okay." I said putting Lucky down and standing up. "Well, I have practice in a bit so I'll leave you two alone."
So I leave them in the kitchen and walk down to the dojo area. I wait there for a while, but no one came. I go to find master Splinter to ask if we have practice today. I finally found him in his room meditating. I knock on the flimsy sliding door.
"Come in." Master Splinter says. I walk in.
"Master Splinter, do we have practice today?" I ask.
"No Samuriaya, the boys wanted to spend the day with Usagi." Splinter says.
"Let me guess the obvious, you want me to spend the day with him as well."
"You should, he is your betrothed. Try to get to know him and be nice."
I know master Splinter is right, but the way Usagi looks at me makes me feel strange. But I have to admit he is kind of cute (for a rabbit). I join the guys to hang out with Usagi. We mostly stay around the dojo, just talking, goofing around, and from time to time we would watch Raph wrestle with Mikey. Obentoe and master Splinter are in the kitchen talking and having tea. The day went by pretty fast, soon enough.
"Usagi-san it's time to go home." Obentoe says. I pick the sleeping Lucky off my lap and give him to Usagi.
"I will be right there master!" Usagi says over his shoulder. "Samuriaya, may I have the honor of you joining me for dinner tomorrow night?"
I think about it for a moment, through out the day I have gotten to know him and he is actually a really sweet guy and a gentleman. I decide to give him a chance.
"Alright." I said. Usagi does a short bow, careful not to drop Lucky, then hurries to the door with Obentoe.
"Someone's got a hot date with Usagi." Raph says, tangled up while wrestling with Mikey again.
"It's not a date Raph, it's a get to know you date." I said.
"It has the word 'date' in it."
"Oooooh Sam and Usagi sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Mikey sang then breaking into hysterics.
"DO YOU WANT ME TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF?" I threaten Mikey. Mikey made like the wind and blew out of the room.
"Raph is right though Sam, you better wear a dress for the occasion." April says.
"One problem, I don't own a dress." I said. "Why can't I just wear jeans, shirt, and tennis shoes like I usually do?"
"Because you need to look nice on your first date."
"Sorry April but I'm going as me. I got some nice jeans and shirts so I should be okay. Besides I don't like getting all dressed up."
It's true, I never liked getting all dressed up. Whenever I do, I don't feel like I'm being me. Master Splinter came into the room a minute later.
"Samuriaya, come with me please." Master Splinter said. He led me to a room filled with trunks, boxes, and old crates. I guess this would be the storage room. Master Splinter went to a far corner and brought out two boxes. There is a large square shaped one and a long rectangular one. We walk to Splinters room to open them.
"Open this one first." Master Splinter pushes the rectangle one to me. I open it, under the brown paper is a wooden box with dragons and calligraphy carved into it. I lift the lid and gasp as I see two beautiful katana swords. The handles are gold with white cloth around it as a hold, the sheathes are black with silver spiraling to the top. When I unsheathe one of them the steel blade, even in the dim light, glistens like the sun. I smile at its beauty. I sheath the sword, I can sense master Splinter looking at me as I put the sword back in the box.
I look up at him. He seems proud like any dad would be.
"They're beautiful master Splinter, I love them." I said smiling.
"You're just like your mother. Her father made those katana for your mother to use and she fell in love with them at first sight." Splinter says. He pushes the other one towards me. I open it, inside is an old fashioned black ninja outfit.
"Your mother fought in that same outfit, only it's not the original. It's in a safe place." he says. I stare, amazed, at the outfit. Bewildered that my mom was once a leader of a clan and fought for her home. "Now go on, off to bed. It's late."
"Yes sir." I said, gathering the boxes and took them to my room. I'm actually feeling a little tired, so I go to sleep. Feeling nervous of what horrors April would put me through tomorrow.
