Chapter 4
Sasha sat there and watched her uncle walk away with a sad look. She wondered what he meant by what he said, he already did. She was thinking about it when she saw her father walk up to her with something in his arms.
"What is that?" she asked her father.
"Well, I thought that if you are going to go out on patrol with us tonight and since you are a trained ninja, then you should start looking like one" Raph said and handed hera box.
Sasha opened it and looked inside. She looked back up at her father with a large grin on her face as she pulled out the hood. She looked at it, it was black with a red face guard. She sat it down beside her and pulled out the rest of her new gear and then sat the box down and got up off the couch and walked up to her father and put her arms around his neck.
"Thank you"she said as she tried to hold back the tears.
"Your welcome, besides you earned it. Now, go get changed and meet me in the dojo, we are getting ready to head out" Raph told her he held her.
After letting go of her father she ran up to her room with her new gear and closed the door behind her. She looked at all of her new ninja gear and walked over to the mirror and got changed. She looked at herself and she had to admit that she looked very sexy even dressed as a ninja. Her suit was black with a red chest plate and red arm guards and red shin guards. She walked out of her room and made her way to the dojo.
When she got there she saw the rest of her family inside lined up in two lines, with her father standing in front of them in the middle of the dojo.
"Sasha, please come forward and kneel" Raph told her.
Sasha walked forward and knelt in front of her father.
"Sasha, you have become a very strong warrior. I am very proud of you, I want to give you something, I think you will need it when you go on patrol" Raph told her and turned around and grabbed something and turned back and held it in both hands in front of her. Sasha looked up and saw a sword in her father's hand.
"You have trained hard, using the katana, so I only thought it right that it be your weapon as a ninja. Rise, you are now a full fledged ninja warrior in this clan" Raph told her and then bowed to her. Sasha returned the guester and then hugged her father.
"Congratulations, kid" Mikey told her as he came over and hugged her.
"You did well" Donny said and hugged her as well. The rest of her family came and hugged her and patted her on the back.
"Hey, great job, I will joining you soon too" Nick told her and laughed.
"Well, I hate to break up all this mushy stuff but if we are going on patrol, we need to get ready" Raph said as he walked over and took his sais off the wall. Donny walked behind him and grabbed his bo as Mike walked over and grabbed his chucks.
"Well, let's get this party started" Mike said.
"We will be back in a few hours, don't wait up" Raph said as he kissed his wife.
"Be safe and watch over her" Lindsey told her husband.
"I will" Raph said and walked to the entrance to the lair with his brothers and Sasha behind him. Sasha's heart was beating fast, this was her first time on patrol and she was excited and nervous, she did not want to let her father down.
Once they got to the roof of the nearest building, Raph gathered them all around to go over the night patrol plan.
"Okay, Mike, I want you to take the north side of town, Don, I want you to take the east side, Sasha, you will be with me on the west side of town" Raph told them.
"Wait, what about the south side?" Sasha asked.
"We wont worry about that tonight" Raph told her.
"Come on dad, let me go on my own, I will be okay" she begged.
"Not a chance, this is your first time and I want you with me, besides I told your mother that I would keep you safe and there is no way that I am going back home and tell your mother that I let you off on your own your first night out" Raph told her.
"Fine" she relented and then hugged her uncles and watch them take off in different directions.
"You coming?" Raph said. Sasha looked back and seen her father standing on the edge of the building smirking at her.
"Yes" Sasha said and followed her father as they began racing over rooftops. After a few minutes of running, Raph stopped and held his hand up to motion her to stop. He pointed down at the alley below them and saw a drug deal going down.
"Well kid, it is time to get to work" Raph said as he pulled his sais. Sasha nodded and pulled her hood over her head and drew her sword. Raph jumped down and Sasha followed him. The two of them landed behind the two men making the deal.
"Now, you see this is why I hate drug dealers, you sell to kids and make the streets unsafe, now we are going to teach you two a lesson" Raph said as he walked towards them.
"It is one of those green freaks, it looks like he has a partner, nice looking but still going to get a beating" one of the men smirked as he pulled a gun.
"That is no way to talk to a lady" Sasha said and quickly threw a throwing knife and knocked the gun out of the man's hand. The man looked at his gun laying several feet away and made a move for it but found his path now blocked by Sasha.
"I am going to make you pay for that girlie" the man said and threw a punch, which Sasha easily blocked. Sasha then kicked the man in the stomach and watched the man fall to one knee and then threw a round house kick to the head that knocked the man out cold. She turned and seen her father leaning against the wall of one the builidng with an unconcious man laying at his feet.
"Call the cops and lets get out of here" Raph told her and then jumped up to the roof. Sasha did as she was told and then followed her father up to the roof.
"Good job, you did great and I am proud of you" Raph told his daughter as she got to the roof.
"Thanks, dad could I go off on my own, just for a little while, I promise I will be safe and take no stupid risks" Sasha asked.
"Okay, but call me if you run into anything, I mean it" Raph said.
"I promise" Sasha said and then hugged her father and ran off. Raph watched his daughter go and just hoped that she did not get in any trouble and for sure did not tell her mother when they got home.
Sasha ran over roof tops for about an hour but stopped when she seen a figure standing on a roof top in front of her. She made her way over to him but kept herself hidden in the shadows. The figure in front of her had his back to her. She got closer so that she could get a better look at the figure.
"Come on out so I can see you, I know you are there" the figure said. Sasha almost tripped over herself . how did he know she was there, she was very quiet and a trained ninja.
"Who are you?" Sasha asked as she stepped out of the shadows.
"I have many names that I have been called over the years, I have been many places and every place has given me a name, here I am called the Grim Reaper" the figure said and then turned and faced her.
He had on a black suit with black armor and a helmet that looked was black and the face guard is what shocked her, it was a gray skull. On his back was two tiger hook swords. Sasha pulled her katana and held it in front of her.
"You are no hero or justice seeker, you kill without reason" she told him.
"Reason! I kill those who murder and rape and deserve no mercy!" the reaper told her as he walked towards her. He looked and seen she had drew her sword.
"Trust me, you don't want to try me. Go home" he told her and started to walk away. Sasha felt a wave of anger wash over her. Who was he to walk away and act as if she was just some kid that could not fight. She ran at him and swung her sword. She thought she had connected but saw that it was resting against the blades of the tiger hooks.
"Big mistake, child" he said and pushed her back and took his own fighting stance.
"Finally, some real action" she smirked.
"You have bit off more than you can chew and I guess I will have to teach you a lesson" he said. Sasha got angry again and charged and swung but missed completely.
"You will have to do better than that" he told her in a mocking voice.
"Stay still and fight" Sasha yelled as she swung again but as before he moved out of the way, it was almost as if he was not even trying.
"Your anger is your downfall. Concentrate and focus on your attack" he told her.
"You giving me lessons now" she replied as she tried to strike him.
"it looks like you need it. You are good but you still need more practice" he told her. He was growing tired of this fight and decided to end it quickly and as painlessly for her as he could. He countered her strike with his own and used the hooks of this swords and used them to pull the sword out of her hand and then drop down and sweep her feet from under her. She fell to the ground and looked up to see him standing over her with his sword at her throat.
"Now, for the last time, go home to you parents, girl" he said and then turned and jumped off the building. Sasha laid there for a moment to catch her breath and calm her nerves.
She had just fought the Grim Reaper and lived to tell about it.
