Sorry this took so long to get out, my sister forgot about a wedding she was in so I had to take a short vacation... and I would have posted this earlier, but Montana has horrible WiFi stuffs... Anyways thank you to my two followers (you know who you are) It's good to know that my story is worth following.

Now on with the story... Enjoy :)

Wait! Before I forget, the words in italics and underlined are Hitori's written responses

Mikey stood with his arms crossed in the hallway, a huge smile plastered on his face.

"Nothing Mikey." Leonardo put a hand on his forehand.

Said turtle walked over to the table. "Hitori, meet my brother Michelangelo. Michelangelo meet Hitori."

Hitori stood up to bow her head but held out a hand when the two turtles gave her a look. She sat back down after shaking Mikey's hand.

"So, Hitori, how's your head?" Mikey asked.

She tightened her lips into a line and gave a so-so movement with a hand.

"Ya Leo here was kinda worried about ya, 'specially after Donnie said ya might have a concussion."

Hitori raised her brows and looked at Leo, still sitting at the table with a hand on his forehead.

He let out and uncomfortable sigh. "Mikey, did you come out here to get something, or are you just trying to make me sound like a creep?"

Mikey jumped up from the seat he had sat down in, "Oh, yeah!" The turtle in orange grabbed an almost flat box out of the fringe. "Wanted to get some pizza before I went to bed."

Leo shook his head.

"Wanna piece Hitori?"

She smiled but shook her head 'no'.

With a bite of pizza in his mouth, "you're not a very talkative one are you?"

Once again the girl smiled, this one was different though, almost a regretful smile and shook her head 'no' again. She grabbed the discarded pen on the table and wrote down two words on the palm under her name, and turned it to the boys to read.

"I'm mute"

The two turtles stared at her hand for awhile before returning their gaze to the girl's blue eyes.

"Wow. That sucks."

"Mikey." Authority was put into Leo's warning.

Hitori smiled and waved her hands in front of her face mouthing 'no' and 'it's okay'. Grabbing her pen again and writing down a sentence in tiny letters. "It's okay. I chose to be mute." Below that she continued. "It does suck :)" She showed it to the boys, who's foreheads scrunched in confusion.

"How the heck can ya be mute, but not at the same time?" He rubbed the top of his head. "Talk about a major migraine."

Leo let out an irritated sigh, "what my brother is trying to ask is, how…"

He stopped when a hand was placed in front of his face. "It's a sociological issue." She turned it for Mikey to see.

"So, if you really wanted to, you could like, say stuff?"

Hitori nodded and smiled and started to write on her other hand. "Maybe you'll hear me someday."

"We look forward to it." Leo and Mikey smiled and Hitori couldn't help but join in.

Mikey let out a dramatic yawn and stretched out his arms. "Well, I'm off to bed. See you in the morning Hitori."

"Night."

"Night Mikey."

She had to get out of here soon, she was telling them too much and she had just met them an hour ago, well two of them, but just maybe she could stay. What better place to hide from your past life than the past target's lair. And now, after meeting two of the four brothers, Hitori actually wanted to talk to them, to forget that part of her past, but...

Just maybe she could do it, they deserve it. After all they had brought her, the enemy, into their household without a second thought. They had been so kind to her, they treated like she was normal, even after she told them. Either way she needed to make a decision; pretty soon she would run out of skin to write on.

There was a silence after Mikey left and it was broken by Leonardo.

"So, did you dye your hair?"

Hitori made the quick choice to lie, "Yeah, black was boring"

Running out of palm space she moved the next sentence to the back of it, "Is blue your favorite colour?" She held one hand out while using the other to point to his bandana.

"Yes, Mikey's is orange, Raph's is red and Donnie's is Purple."

"Your other brothers, right?"

"Yeah"

There was another silence. They were both looking at another trying to figure out something else to talk about, though Hitori looked away shyly.

"You know, normal people would have freaked out seeing us. You seemed calm." Leo was looking at her almost as if he was judging whether or not to believe her or not.

She smiled and shrugged. "It's New York. I've seen crazier things."

Leo nodded in agreement and glanced over to the microwave's clock. It was late and he was tired, the nightly patrols were finally catching up with him, but what about Hitori? Donnie said that she shouldn't sleep if she has a concussion. Should he go get Donnie? A tap on his shoulder brought him out of his thoughts.

Hitori was standing next to him with an inked hand on his shoulder and a hand extended two new words were written on the outside of her index finger. "You okay?"

She rolled up the sleeve of her shirt and began to write frantically. "If I said something wrong I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." She stopped as Leo's hand grabbed hers. She gave him a questioning look.

"You didn't do anything. Just, Donnie asked me to tell him if you did anything. And I don't want you to sleep if you have a concussion. I would hate for you to lose some of your memories."

She smiled at his concerns. "There are not many memories I want to keep. Besides, I'm a quick healer."

Leo was confused at her statement, who would want to lose their memory? Unless…

"Still, I'd be more comfortable if Donnie checked you out." He got up and headed to Donnie's room.

While he walked down the hall she pulled down her sleeve. She hadn't meet Donnie yet and didn't really want him to see the conversation she had just had with his brother. Leo was at his brother's door, she could hear him as he knocked quietly on Donnie's door.

A tired voice came from inside the room. "Mikey, sleep in your own bed for once."

Hitori suppressed a laugh.

"Don, its Leo, come out and see this."

It sounded like some sheets were thrown and then the door flew open. "Is she okay? Did she stop breathing? What happened?"

"Why don't you see for yourself?" Leo pointed in the girl's direction.

Leo followed Donnie to the table where Hitori still sat. She stood up and bowed to Donnie when got closer. He smiled and bowed back.

"Hi there, I'm Donatello, but you can call me Don or Donnie."

Hitori pointed to where she had written her name for Leo. It was slightly smeared.

"Hit-or-ee?" Don struggled reading the smeared writing.

She nodded then pointed to 'I'm mute'

Donnie nodded in understanding.

"How do you feel?"

She sat back down and grabbed the pen and rolled up her un-written on arm. "A little tired but fine."

Suddenly Donnie had a small flashlight and was checking her pupils. "You seem fine to me. Is there anything you don't remember, or something that seems fuzzy to you?"

She shook her head then wrote something to Leo.

"Told you so."

Okay so, what does everybody think? Let me know please.

And if you see something wrong...

Same as before, read, review?
