There was not much Raphael could do- so he took the time he had to abserve the girls. The first thought that came to mind was abnormal beauty. He could not really explained it even if he tried. Be it the animal deep down inside or the fact the only physical contact he had was with a few hookers, Raphael could not deny the fact that each female had her own natural beauty that attracted him.

For example, Kimiko, though young, she had a slim figure and like the others the front of her shell was molded into her skin and appeared to be more of scales than bone. She was not tall by any means- just barely reaches his shoulder. By the way things appear, she was done growing.

Her sister Yue was a different story. He could see the resemblance in the face but Yue did not have freckles scatterd ontop her beak. She was a good head taller and leaner. One thing that freaked him out was how their beaks narrowed down a little and seemed to form a nose ridge of sorts but instantly flatten out to form the same build as of his and his brothers.

Kaya had a more ruggish look to her skin. Her eyes were more cat-like than the others. Since she is of a different "race" of sorts on their planet, Raph figured it was her peoples' trade mark. She was about the same height as Kimiko- mybe taller by a mere inch. Her arms showcased some well rounded muscles, as did her legs. He also used the sand people bit to explain those.

Then there was Suki. She could be Kaya's taller verson of herself- save for the skin tone difference. She was about a few inches shorter then Yue but hardly noticable.

The way the girls walked was with a certain grace and poise that made them look as if they were floating. Their hips sometimes swayed ever so often. They had some turtle qualities that stood out- some much similar to the ones his brothers had in common with. A thought accured to him. Would the girls being here put an early welcome party for their season? The guys, unforunately, still had a certain animalistic trait that influenced their horomone level. Their horomones get to a certain peak and the guys change.

Leo acts out like Mikey during his and Mikey gets moodier- while Don usually acted like Raph. Raphael always became- well lets just put it simply that he was not one to be trifled with. When they were younger they had to be practicly locked up inside the lair for a whole month- or until they cooled down. Now they probably would have to send the girls over to April's place if that were indeed the case. Raph frowned as Suki and Kimiko started fighting over something.

"I told you to not use my hair brush!"

Raph blinked. He was now starting to question the age of these girls. It was hard to tell. One minute they acted like adults then the next they would be fighting over mundane things that a teenager would fight over. Yue looked up from her book. She rolled her eyes before resuming her reading. Kaya was playing around with what looked like the remains of an old radio- barely paying any attention to the quareling girls.

Raph looked over at Yue and asked,"How old are you anyways?"

She turned a page."It's rude to ask a lady her age." She smirked and glanced up at him."All the same, I am twenty five summers old."

The corners of his mouth turned upwards."Only ten years older then you."

"Pardon?" She tilted her head to the side, slightly confused.

"I'm thirty five years...er...summers old."

Yue's eyes widend."Forgive me for saying this, but you look at least twenty."

His smile widend."Yeah, well you guys look around sixteen."

She blushed and slowly shown a smile."If only that were true." She gestured towards the three girls."Suki and I would have been married by now if...if the raid had not of broke out. Girls on Terra are usually mated at the age of fifteen or sixteen."

He looked over at he sister and Kimko. She smiled."Kimiko just made it to her eightenth summer and Kaya is a summer older."

Raph drew his eyeridges together."Sounds a little...primitive."

Yue frowned."I guess we are..."

He realised how that sounded."I meant the whole marriage thing."

She raised an eyeridge."Marriage?"

"Ya know 'till death do ya part'...'fer betta or fer worse'?" Nothing. He sighed,"Um...Mated?"

She blushed."Oh!" She looked down at her feet."Well the females don't really get much of a choice. We..are paired of from birth and if the male is challenged the one that is left alive from a bruetal fight wins the female's favor."

His jaw was set. Raphael's father had always raised them to respect women and never to take advantage of them. That was what they believed in. Men who hit women or treated them as property were as good as dead in their opinion.

This was their culture and how they were raised. Earth might just be the greatest thing that ever happend to them.

Suki growled and had Kimi in a headlock."What is your problem!?"

"I...can't...find...mine!" She managed to choke out.

Kaya sighed and threw the device away and walked over to the two women. Raph raised an eyeridge while Yue simply chuckled and picked up her book again. Kaya silently seperated the girls and flung them, one-handed, to different sides of the room. The girls yelped and landed on their shells. Kaya huffed and went to sit down in her originaly spot.

Suki and Kimi both whined,"Kaya!?"

Raph rolled his eyes and started chuckeling. The laughter was interupted abruptly by a loud beeping sound. The girls stared wide eyed towards the boarded up window. Outside there were muffled shouts of orders and the loud roar of engines.

Kim and Kaya instantly hugged each other. Suki got up- only to be knocked back down again by a thunderous rumble.

Yue jumped up and shrieked,"What's happening!?"

Raph got up and peeked through a small crack in the wall. Damn it!With just a rotting wall seperating them from exposer- a construction crew awaited outside. Apparently this place really was due for demolition. He grabbed Yue's arm along with a very upset Suki. The other two followed behind.

Suki growled at the grip he had on her."What the hell?!"

Kaya was shaking and was practicly ontop of Kimiko. Yue gasped,"Raphael what is going on?"

He pushed them all into the very back room and started to look for a way out.

He smiled when he spotted the old window. He wipped out his sais and started to hack away at the rotting wood. Suki glared at him. Why isn't he anwsering us?

She abruptly grabbed his shoulder. He growled and nearly knocked her arms out their sockets.

Her hazel met his amber."What's your problem!?"

His eyes turned into slits. His demeaner was teanse as the walls around them started to shake. The girls whimpered in slight fear. He calmly pushed her hands off of him and started to finish his job.

"I'll tell ya what's goin' on! Dis place is 'bout ta fall ontop of us- So's unless ya wanna be a turtle pancake! I'd stop yappin' and start helpin'!"

Her face turned red by the smart ass attitude he gave her, but all too quickly was diminished when a huge chunk of cieling fell behind them. The girls yelped and started yanking the boards out of the wall.

"There! Now move it!" Raph shoved Suki out and grabbed a rambling Kaya. Kimiko was clutching her sister and was practicly in tears. The whole place was already falling in on them. He turned to them and held his arms open.

Kimi held her sister. Yue gave a smile reassuring smile and handed her off to the male. Just as Kimi was crawling through the wall gave way and pinned Yue's right leg. She yelped and tried to wiggle free with no success.

Raph set his jaw and started to pulled at her. She winced at the pressure. Her legs were starting to tingle.

He cursed and tried to lift up the fallen rubble."Come on!"

Finially there was a give. He gritted his teeth,"Hurry yer ass out of here!" She did not need to be told twice.

He jumped out of the way of the caving in floors and leapt threw the window. The girls were huddled behind a dumpster frozen with fear. He ran towards them and felt the ground almost give. Instantly he was in front of them and used himself as a human, er turtle, shield. The whole ally way was engulfed in plaster dust.

I'm dead...I'm dead- I am dead! Kimiko was freaking out. She had her eyes closed and felt her sister's iron lock grip on her- along with the sufficating scent that filled the air. She carefully opened her eyes and found that everyone was safe. Covered in white, grayish dust, but all the same, safe. Raphael moved off of them and quickly went on high alert. It was still day light.

He turned to them and gruffly ordered,"We need ta get under and fast."

Suki frowned as she shaked some dust from her thick hair."Oh? And where do you suppose we go?"

Kaya placed a hand on her friend's shoulder."Beno gir la mei...la mei.."

Raph crouched down to be at eye level with the four females."Look, we have at least 'bout five minutes 'fore dese humans start to come over this way. No doubt they heard the screamin'." He ran a hand over his face and wiped some grime off in the process."Since yer home is totaled...you four will have ta trus' me an' let me help you."

Suki bit her cheek."Hell n-"

"We accept." The female glared at Yue. She glared back."What other choice do we have?"

Slowly she gave a short nod. Raphael smirked,"Good now all's we gotta do is find a manhole cova'."

The group slowly ventured out from their hideing spot- the aire still slghtly thick with dust particles. Ever so often did their guide stop them and press up against the wall. The tension was high and they were all at risk of exposer amongst these alien people. Ironicly, though, the four female terripans were the aliens here. No matter where they are danger and undeniable death was around every corner. The madness just wont stop.

As they started to move again, Kimiko found her older sister clutching against herself. She knew why. She noticed the slight limp that happend after she escaped that death trap they called a home. Their second home that almost brought back some normalcy was now a reminder of the new threat that awaited them on this planet. Truth be told, it was indeed much better then the cruel slavery inacted by the triceritons or the daily beatings. Anything was better then the living hell they lived through each passing day on their home world.

Raphael abruptly stopped and bent down to uncover an underground passage. There was a sterdy metal ladder that lead down the dark hole. There was a faint sound of water and an, not so appealing, adour that flowed out of it. The girls wrinkled their beaks.

Suki raised an eyeridge."You live down there?"

He rolled his eyes."Betta' den up here out in da open." He gestured downwards."Ladies first."

Suki humphed but bitterly climbed down into the dark unknown. Kaya stared down in confusion and pointed at the hole. Raph sighed and motioned for her to climb down next. She hesitated.

"Kaya! Hurry up! It's creepy down here by myself!" The female laughed dryly before makeing her way down.

Kimiko was about to go next when she saw her sister wince in pain.

Yue forced a smile again and replied,"Go next...I'll be right behind you..."

With one last glance at her sister Kimi gently loosend her grip and started her descent.

The pain was lamost unbearable. Her ankle was spranged for sure. She had worse but since she was walking on it the movement must have irretated the now tender skin. Yue was just thankful that they managed to make it this far and find the path to Raphael's dweling. Question now is how she was going to climb down.

The red clad turtle turned to her."Yer up sweet heart."

She gulped and cringed as she stood up. She took a step and instantly felt her knees buckle. Raph caught her arm to steady her out. She gasped and blinked away some stray tears.

Raphael looked at her and murmured,"Why didn't you say anytin'?"

She managed a small smile."Didn't want to be a bother.." She blinked as he lifted her up and flung her over his shoulder. She blushed."W-What on earth are you-"

"Relax. Just enjoy da ride." She could tell by the sound of his voice that he was smirking.

Yue had to admit that this was the most degrading position she has ever been in her enitire life span. As he started to go down she could feel the power rippleing through his muscles. She noticed how he paused to close the cover before he continued his climb. As they moved she noticed how the bottom formed into a large tunnel.

Once they were down he merely adjusted his hold on her. She was now resting in his arms bridal style. They caught eye contact for a second. He was still wearing that smug smile of his.

Kimiko hugged her elbows and shivered a little."I-It's really c-cold down here."

Suki and Kaya were huddled for warmth."Y-Yeah...c-can we hur-hurry it up?"

Raph chuckled,"Don't worry we're only a few tunnels down." He adjusted his hold on Yue before continueing to take the lead.

Donatello checked through the cameras they placed topside. No sign of their brother. After a few hours they went all out for a proper search. Leonardo and Michelangelo took the Cowabunga Carl van up top to do a proper sweep. Casey left April and Shadow to do his own looking through their area. That left Donatello to wait here in case he manages to make it back here safe and sound. To add in the search he scanned through some cameras that he placed long ago around some local gang hide outs.

Donnie sighed and typed in the code for the Purple Dragons place. He sighed. Nothing but five PDs playing poker on an old crate. He was starting to wonder if his brother was even still in the city. Images of Raph strapped to a medical table awaiting to be disected by some government program flashed through his mind. If thay can not find him within the next twenty four hours it would mean that the brothers would have to resort to crashing in on Bishop. One bad guy he hated to the core and never wanted to encounter with again. Still a mutant turtle can not be too careful.

He practicly jumped out of his shell when his cell phone started to go off. He checked the caller ID- only to find that is was only Michelangelo.

There was still a slight chance that his two brothers managed to find their hot head. He flipped the phone open.

"Yeah Mike?"

"Dude we searched up and down fourth and fith but no sign of him. Any luck on your end?"

He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples."Unfotunatly...no. How about Casey and April's end?"

"Nada bro." A pause."Think he's alright?"

Don chewed the inside of his cheek. He remebered when Mikey went missing. Those were the longest three hours in his life. They were just playing a game of ninja hide and seek. Apparently his little brother fell asleep after finding his hideing spot up in the rafters of their former home from way back when.

This was almost that feeling of dread only ten times worse.

He leaned back into his chair with a slight creak."This is Raph we're talking about. I'm sure he'll come right through this door and start cursing up a storm about the crappy night he has-"

A loud bang sounded throughout the lair. He jumped and nearly dropped the phone.

"Don? Don you ok?"

He blinked."Not sure...Someone just entered the front door." He grabbed his bo staff from the back of his chair."If it's Raph I'm going to kill him."

Donnie snapped his phone shut before his brother could reply.

Raph grunted as he picked up the coat hanger from were Kimi knocked it over. Apparently walls opening was not something to see in an alien planet. He picked up Yue again and started walking towards the black couch. Old lumpy red was put into retirement and they gained April's old couch in return. They even upgraded their television with the money he and Leo did as repairmen. That was not an easy job to do- espeacially when the had to drag Casey along to distract the people at the door long enough to enter without the costumer seeing the green men in overalls.

Kimiko and Kaya looked like two kids in a candy shop. He placed Yue on the couch and found Suki slumping down beside of her.

The high tempered female did a quick once over of the place and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Nice place."

Kimi giggled as she started to dig through their mass movie collection."What whimsical toys!"

He instantly went into teatcher mode."Uh...Kimi..does ain't toys.." She took one out and flung it against the wall. The disk promptly shattered into three ways. He growled and gently slapped her hand."Don't touch any-"

A loud crash and yelp sounded near Don's lab. His eyes widend."Oh shit!"

Raph ran in the laberatory to find his brother and Kaya in an entanglement of limbs. He sighed and ran a hand down his face. Grown women who are practicly like childeren...WHAT could go wrong!?

"R-Raph?" Donatello blinked up at his brother then looked in bewilderment at the female turtle laying on top of him."W-What's going on!?"

Suki took this moment to enter the scene. Her face darkend."You have five seconds to get your slimmy mits off my friend."

If it was not for the seariousness of this whole thing Raphael would have been rolling at the sight of his little brother's red face.

He smirked at Donnie once he pulled free from Kaya."Don I want ta introduce ya ta our new house guests."

"H-House guests?" Boy is Leo gonna freak.
