Next chapter?

The red wearing mutant turtle walked into his home in the sewers. His emotions were swirling through his body. One minute he was mad the next he was sad. What exactly was he feeling?

"Yo, dude!" Michelangelo called from the couch. "Get pizza while you were out? Im starving!"

Raphael scowled. "What do you think?" He asked sharply.

"Whoa man, I was just asking. Don't kill me with your eyes."

The red masked turtle put up his tightly balled hand. "How about I kill you with my fist instead?"

Leonardo stood up from his quiet spot on the couch and put up is hands in his brothers direction.

"Okay guys," He started. "don't start fighting." He turned to Raph. "Where were you?"

"Out." Raph was already on his way to his room, throwing his trench coat on the coat hanger as he passed it.

"Raph-" Leo started in his mediator voice.

"Don't start with me."

Raph jumped to the top floor and stepped into his room, closing his door behind him.

Stupid brothers. He really wasn't in the mood to listen to them.

The ninjas room was covered in posters of fighters, football players and the occasional karate poster. His bed was in the middle of his room with his black comforter and sheets covering it. He had a desk in the corner of him room with his laptop and his wall of weapons.

The turtle looked around and realized he had nothing to do up there. Why did he go up there and not in the training room? Now he would have to walk back out there and go somewhere else while his brothers stare at him. Great.

Facing the humility, he jumped out of his room and power-walked to the training room, but not before the sarcastic comment from his youngest brother.

"Going to the training room? Wow, thats surprising." Mikey called.

Raphael flipped him the bird and continued his trek across the sewer. He kicked open the door and couldn't help but slam it behind him. When he turned around, he was surprised to see Donatello attacking a fake person.

Donnie looked up.

"Hey, Raph."

The older turtle looked at him strangely.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked. "I thought you were in your geek room."

Donnie grimaced, "Its not a geek room. What are you doing in here?"

"Trying not to think." Raph walked up to a punching bag and started beating it, the metal chain being strained from the power of the bag flying.

Donnie turned back to his fake man. "About what?" He asked.

"Stuff." He punched bag harder.

"You can tell me, you know. I won't tell anyone else if you don't want me to."

They continued to kick and punch their targets for a few minutes. Not talking to each other as Raph contemplated telling him. Once he broke into a sweat he started talking.

"I met someone." He punched even harder.

"Who?"

"A girl, in an ally, downtown."

Donnie immediately stopped. His brother met a girl? What had the world gone to? He went to sit on the weight bench to listen to his older brothers story.

"What happened?"

Raph stopped punching. He looked down breathing heavily with his hands balled into fists.

"We talked."

"And?" Donnie pressed on.

Raphael finally launched out the whole story, getting annoyed and walking out, going down town, finding the girl, talking to her, seeing her friend, them both running away. By the end of his story he was on the bench that held his brother with his head in his hands.

"Wow." Donnie breathed out.

"Yeah, I know." Raph replied.

They sat for a moment of silence.

"You need to find this girl!" Donnie exclaimed, jumping up.

"Find her?" Raph moaned. "How? She's probably afraid of me, or hates me!"

The purple masked turtle pulled up his brother. "You forget your brother's a mad genius."

~X~

Standing behind the rolly-chair that his younger brother sat in, Raphael looked at the many screens that seemed to make up Donnie's entire bedroom. Donatello was typing furiously, going from one keyboard to another. Raph couldn't keep up with the purple ninja's fast hands.

"Whats her name?"

"Kyle."

"Looks?"

"Blond hair, blue eyes."

"Height?"

"Short."

"Age?"

"Seventeen."

"Lives?"

"New york? How am I supposed to know?"

"She could just be visiting. I only need the general area."

Donnie continued to type and Raph looked at he screen as many girls that fit the description started to pop onto the screen before disappearing and being replaced with another girl.

"Her?" The purple masked turtle asked. There was a girl on the screen with her description right next to it. She had her hair cut in an 'emo' style with a lot of make-up and snake bites.

"No."

"Her?" The next girl had long dark blond hair that cascaded in curls. She had a big smile that was covered in braces.

"Nope."

After a half an hour of looking at pictures, Raph threw his hands in the air and started to pace.

"It's hopeless. I'll just go to where I met her friday. Maybe she'll be there."

Donnie spun his chair around. "What will you do once you meet her again?"

Raphael didn't have an answer.

~X~

Raphael jumped from roof to roof on the immensely tall New York buildings, looking for the club he was previously at. He was wearing a sweat shirt with the hood up to conceal his face and a trench coat over to hide his body. He was listening for the girls voice, and looking for the girls clothes.

The night air was chilly and if the turtle didn't have two layers on he'd probably be shivering. He wondered if Kyle was cold. Or if she was warm and indoors.

Stupid girls. Raph shouldn't be thinking about her. He was supposed to be the strongest of his brothers, not the one who can't stop thinking about a girl he'd met only once.

He wondered what Master Splinter would think. He would probably kill him for socializing with any human other than Casey and April. Luckily, Master Splinter was gone for a week. Nobody knew where, he just told them that he'd be back in a week and that was that.

Suddenly there was a scream that filled the air.

Raphael sprang into action. He jumped faster, looking for the person who made the sound. His lungs started to burn a bit from the cold night air, and his limbs were starting to get numb. It wasn't that he couldn't handle this, it was because the cold, mixed with stress, mixed with physical activity wasn't very good on your body.

The girl screamed again and finally he found the ally in which she screamed.

The girl was getting attacked by a big man. He had a knife up to her neck and had her pushed against the wall.

"Just be a good girl," Raphael could hear the man say. "This won't hurt a bit." The man started to unzip her jacket and she screamed again, thrashing around.

"Shut up!" The man screamed and pushed the knife harder. The girl whimpered and tried to lean back more, but the wall blocked her movement.

Raphael decided to make his presence known.

"Hey, you!"

Both the girl and the man looked up. The man looked just in time to see a get a foot get smashed into his face.

The man cried in pain and reeled back, releasing the girl.

Raphael went in for another strike, punching him in the gut and quickly whipping out his sai's. The man yelled once again and took a few steps back. Once he regained his balance, he held his knife out in front of him.

"What'cha going to do, huh?" The man laughed. "Kill me?"

"Well," Raph started. "It did cross my mind..." He went into his fighting stance.

The man took a step back.

The ninja jumped forward and leaped on the guy. They started to wrestle, both trying to be the one to stay on top. Once Raphael regained his place on top, he stabbed his left sai in the ground next his neck and his right one over his throat.

The man squealed slightly and tried to lower his erratic breathing.

"Now," Raph said slowly. "When I let go of you, I wan't you to run away. Back to wherever you live and never do anything like this again. You wouldn't want me to kill you now, would you?"

Raph got off and the man crawled back in fear before stumbling up and sprinting away.

The turtle turned to the girl and ran to the side of the ally she was on. That's when something made him freeze in place.

He would know those blue eyes anywhere.

Yes, yes. I know that fighting scene sucked but whatever :P
