Hey! I'm back. First off - thank you to BakaClara and fireworksinthenight for reviewing the last chapter.

Secondly – some of you may notice I've amended the synopsis a little bit, now I've got more of an idea as to where the story's going.

Thirdly – In response to a point brought up in BakaClara's review, I feel I should point out that this essentially an AU of mine WILL be a little bit darker than the series itself. I'll be honest I haven't actually been keeping up with new episodes [due to RL] that much and so have lost a lot of the plot in regards to that.

Fourthly – see chapter one for the disclaimer and let's crack on.

President Kennedy's High School, 8:30 AM. Staff Room.

"Welcome everyone to the New School Year." Mr Brown said, clapping his hands together. "I'm sure we will have a grand year. Now, this year we have a new member of staff. May we all welcome Mr Oraku Saki, our new Biology teacher to our little family."

About twenty eyes all went to the back of the room where a tall man with strikingly dark eyes was standing, hands folded behind his back, looking every bit as intimidating as an Army Major.

In response to the somewhat hesitant chorus of 'Hello Saki/Oraku.', the tall man gave one solemn nod and resumed looking at Mr Brown, who carried on brightly.

"Now, the students are arriving and the year starts in precisely twenty minutes. Let's all get to our classes and make sure everything goes swimmingly. You're all dismissed."

Hearing that Saki turned and headed out the room before anyone could even attempt a conversation with him. Due to his own planning he had arrived early [and by early he means about on par with the janitors] and found out where his classroom was.

Time to get these students in order.

"SIT DOWN!" He said, practically throwing the door open.

The students all jumped and their conversations immediately ceased and they nervously headed to their seats.

'Geez, what an entrance." April thought, getting an immediate feeling of dislike as she watched their new teacher scrawl his name on the board.

"I am Mr Oraku." He said, turning round. "I am your new teacher." He gave them what April guessed was meant to be a smile and said. "Hopefully we will have a fun year together."

"Creep." One of the boys muttered from the back of the room.

"What was that?" Mr Oraku said. Apparently he had bat ears.

"Nothing." The boy said quickly and April frowned. His voice sounded familiar somehow.

The new teacher folded his arms and barked. "What's your name?"

"Casey Jones, sir." The boy said in a surly turn and the black girl nearly cracked her neck turning round.

Casey Jones! The cheeky sod, he hadn't mentioned moving here when they spoke last week. She leaned forward and rested her head on her hands and prepared to watch the show.

"What did you call me, Mr Jones?"

Mr Jones seemed reluctant to give an answer.

"Well, Mr Jones?"

Mr Jones folded his arms and, clearly deciding 'sod it all' said. "A creep."

An icy silence and then. "Detention, Mr Jones."

Casey's mouth dropped open and he said, in a shrill voice. "But it's only five minutes into the school year! My dad will kill me!"

"You should have thought of that before you were insolent."

"But-!"

Mr Oraku's eyes were like steel as he said, in a low voice. "Do you want me to make it double, Mr Jones?"

There was a minor stand-off which was stopped when Casey gave a low sigh and said. "No, Mr Oraku. Sorry…" He sounded like he was choking on the word. "Mr Oraku."

"Very good. Sit down Mr Jones." Mr Oraku strolled back to the board, saying as he did so. "Anyone else got any smart remarks?"

Silence.

"Very well." He sat down at his desk, opened the registar and, tapping a long finger on the edge of said desk, began taking it.

"Mr Addams?"

Turtles lair, 9:05.

Ding. Ding.

Hearing his brothers phone, Leo paused the TV. "You going to get that, Don?"

Giving a sigh that indicated the act physically pained him, his twin picked up his phone and read the message, before saying in surprise. "Well. That's new."

"What's new?" Mikey said, pausing in his act of tagging up the lair's door.

"You remember that time I got ill at the same time April's judo instructor was bitten by an Oozesquito?"

"Oh yes." Leo said, closing his eyes as he remembered. That hadn't been fun.

"Do you remember Casey Jones?"

"Er…"

Thankfully Mikey was on stand-by. "Oh, oh! I do!" He bounded over to his brothers and said. "He was that guy in April's Judo Class. Yeah, I liked him. He seemed nice."

"You think everyone's nice." Leo pointed out.

"WELL." Don said, getting them back on track. "April has just texted me to say he's joined her class." He put his phone down and sighed. "So that'll be interesting."

"Yeah. Something to tell Raph." Leo looked at the closed door of Splinters room. "How long has he been in there now?"

Donnie checked his phone. "A good couple of minutes."

"Yeah." Mikey said, once again breaking off from decorating the door. "And he'll be in their a lot longer. Pops was fu-ming with him."

"Yeah." Leo folded his arms. "What do you reckon he's saying in their?"
