Chapter 2: Oh Geez. Bright Lights Are Never Good
"Danggit, Raph! If you get killed, I atleast want to be there for moral support!"I shouted, getting off of the back of the Harley. I took off the helmet and put it on a handle as Raph stood up.
He turned sharply and glared at me. I glared back. Some 'tough' punk wasn't going to scare me, danggit. "You can't take care of yourself. I'd have to baby-sit you." He turned and began walking to the house.
I grabbed his arm and yanked him back. "Don't lie to me then walk away!"I shouted. Raph was about to shout back when I cut him off. "Yes, you did! I can take care of myself! I won't let my friend get killed!"
Raph yanked his arm out of my grasp. "I won't get killed! The 'Shredder' is only good at one thing, and that's shredding paper."
I hesitated, my anger dying down. "I just... feel like something... different will happen tonight... because of Shredder,"I muttered, looking at the ground.
Feeling hands on my shoulders, I looked up. Raph was standing there, his face soft, not hard and grouchy as usual. "Nothing will happen to me,"he stated.
I hesitated, looking skeptical. "Promise?"I asked, holding my pinky out to him. He stared at it in confusion. I glared at him.
With a sigh, he interlocked pinkies with me. "Promise." He couldn't help it, but he smiled softly at me. I smiled back, and, unconsciencely, my cheeks turned a soft pink. I felt so childish doing a pinky promise with him. And HIM! Of all people!! I was surprised I even got him to consider doing the promise.
I coughed sheepishly, letting his pinky go. "Good..."I muttered, smiling again. I walked past him to the door. "By the way,"I said, opening the door. "I'm still going tonight."
"Going where?"and older, peaceful voice asked. I turned to see a man, looking in his late fifties, staring up at me.
"Oh no where, Mr. Splinter!"I exclaimed, lying.
Splinter looked at me questioningly. "Oh?"he asked. "Where are they going, Leonardo?"he questioned, Leonardo and the other two walking into the house.
Crap... Leo was going to tell. "Just where all of us are going,"he replied. I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding.
"And where might that be?"Splinter asked.
Donny replied now. "Oh, just an old parking garage to beat up Shredder."
Splinter sighed. "Him again? Oh well. There would be no point in trying to change your minds. I'll come too, to supervise." There was an evil glint in his eyes. Supervise my butt...
"So..."Mikey muttered. "Whose up for a game of Guitar Hero?"
I jumped up and down. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Ash is! Ash is!"I exclaimed and raced to their basement.
Mikey followed, laughing. Splinter sighed. "I'll be meditating."
"I'll be in my room,"Donny said, walking away. Leo looked at Raph, who was staring at the area I just was.
"Don't get too attached, Raph,"he warned, patting Raph's broad shoulder. "We'll probably have to move away soon, anyway."
Raph scowled. "I'm not getting attached!"he snapped. Leo couldn't help but smile softly and walk away. Raph shook his head, walking to his room. "I'm not getting attached..."
-PARKING GARAGE-
As our little group walked in, Shredder was leaning out his car, waiting for us. Or... Raph. When he spotted all of us, he smirked. "So... You had to bring these losers along to protect you? Or to watch you get pumbled?"he asked. I clenched my teeth. "What's with the old man? Surely he can't do anything?"
"Don't call Mr. Splinter an old man! He's more athletic than you'll ever be!"I shouted, holding my arm out infront of Splinter.
Shredder glared at me, then smirked softly. He walked towards me and Leo, Mikey, Donny, and Raph tensed, Raph the most. He moved past them and got to me. He placed his palm on my face and I shivered. His touch was cold.
"You think you're tough, coming here and hanging out with guys?"he asked, I didn't reply, only glared. "Feh... You don't have anything to say. Why don't you go along and play dolls with the other girls?"he questioned.
"Should you be talking?"I asked. "You're more of a girl than I am."
The Shredder threw his head back and laughed. It was a cold cruel sound. He was now face to face with me. "I like your attitude..."he muttered, caressing my cheek.
I shivered and took a step back. Shredder smirked. "Weak..."his whispered, his face closing in on mine. He was shoved away from me before his lips could touch mine, however. Raph was standing in front of me protectively.
"She obviously doesn't like you, Freak, so get away from her,"he snapped.
Shredder smirked. "Aw... looking out for your girlfriend? How cute!"he exclaimed and he threw a punch at Raph. Raph dodged and, of course, it was coming for me. I put my arms up to block it, but I was never hit. Leo grabbed Shredder's arm and twisted it so the Shredder was on the ground, his arm behind his back.
Mikey and Donny's feet were on Shredder's back. Shredder looked up, Raph infront of his, his arms crossed. "Never touch Ash AGAIN!"the four shouted. Leo let Shredder go and Shredder climbed out from under the three. His fists were up.
"Make me!"he replied. The four shrugged. They each threw a punch at Shredder, but before they could hit him, they were stopped by a birght light. I shielded my eyes, as did everyone else. "What the..."Shredder asked.
It felt like I was falling. I screamed, then blacked out.
