After a few minutes, Saya suddenly woke up and couldn't sleep. She wanted to wake Leo up, but she felt bad and knew he had a long day. So, she placed on a jacket, pants and a pair of sneakers and left the lair to have a stroll around town.
"Wow…sure is dark at this time of the day." She told herself as she looked at the dark starry sky.
Then she noticed a silhouette formed under the moonlight on the roof. Saya didn't know who that was, then after a long time of thinking, she came up with a conclusion.
"Hey! That must be one of the guys! Maybe I could greet him!" She exclaimed, looking at the figure.
Saya walked to the nearest ladder and climbed up to the roof. As she reached there, she was still a few yards away from him. So, as she reached the end of a roof, she jumped over each, hoping she won't fall. On the last roof, one of her feet slipped on the edge.
"Noo…." She mumbled as she narrowed her eyes reaching out her right hand hoping someone would grab it. Her mouth dropped open preparing to scream for help as she slipped off the roof.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" She placed a high-pitched scream as she fell off. Her hair fell the opposite as it touched her face, still having an arm reached out.
No one came.
"I guess this is the end…I was so stupid." She thought her lasts thoughts
as she stopped reaching out for help and laid her right hand down with a few tears
flying off and some still clinging to her eyes as she closed them.
"Gocha!" A voice exclaimed.
After a few minutes, Saya woke up and was surprised that she didn't have any cuts or bruises and more importantly, she was still alive. As she looked around, she saw that she was still on the rooftop and the figure was standing of the edge of the rooftop looking at buildings that had their lights closed and everything was dark. The only reason why she could see because of the full moon and the bright stars that shined over her. She slowly tried to get back on her feet and thank the person whom she assumed saved her life, was the mysterious turtle-like silhouette, who was still standing there. She knew that, if she didn't know who this turtle was, how would she call him out?
"Now…who could this turtle be?" She wondered looking up the sky.
She knew it wasn't Leo because he was in a deep sleep when she woke up in the middle of the night. It wasn't Don and Mikey either. Once she left Leo's room, she heard loud volume that she assumed was his video games he was playing. It wasn't Don because on her way out she heard loud sounds like 'banging, sizzling, chopping' and any loud noise you could hear in a construction site. She knew he was busy on his new invention or repairing some of his inventions that either Mikey or Raph had wreaked, but mostly Mikey did the wreaking, Raph just dared him to.
And, that leaves her to only one conclusion...
Raphael.
Before she wanted to call out his name, she hesitated a bit and silently was embarrassed about that it might be the wrong person. She blushed even by thinking about it.
"Maybe it's Leo…" Her shy 'self' thought.
"Of course, not! You saw him sleeping! How can you expect that from a really deep sleep, he just wakes up, and saves your butt!" Her other 'self' retorted loudly in her mind.
"Mikey?"
It
asked.
"No! C'mon you swore he was playing video games! I heard it too you know!" The other self replied having a reason for each turtle.
"Don?"
"Heck, no! The noises in his room are far louder than Mikey's!"
"…."
"C'mon! Get a grip! Think about it! Did you hear anything in Raph's room? I know I didn't." Her other self asked.
"….No…."
"Then there's your answer! It's Raphael!"
Before her shy self was about to say anything else, her other self mentally, tied her in a chair and duct tape tied around her mouth. "Mmft!"
"No more questions from you!" She other self exclaimed being proud of herself, grinning.
Back in the real world…
After a quick refresh on her investigation about who is this mysterious turtle, she took a deep breath and called out--
"Raphael!"
The figure turned around, startled by a familiar voice. Saya still didn't see what color of band he was wearing. It must be because of the large billboard that was posted on the roof, being reflected by the moon that caused a shadow, which covered his whole body.
"Saya?"
"Raph? I-Is that you?" She asked walking closer trying to get a good look.
"Oh, hey Say. You feelin' okay?" He asked as he stepped out of the shadow.
After Saya saw who it was, she took a sigh of relief knowing that she got it correctly. Raphael still had his red band on. Along with both of his sabers tied around his waist by the brown belt he wore.
After a few minutes, Saya finally regained her full consciousness and as she opened her eyes slowly, and it suddenly went, wide open as she found out that she was sitting at the edge of the roof, having a view of the city of New York in her sight. But then looked down seeing that she was not only pitched on the edge of the roof, but on a tall building seeing the sight of the deep, dark, flat ground reminded her if what happened a while ago, which made her almost fall off the edge giving herself short wince, wondering shakily what'll happen next, how will it feel to fall of for real. As she felt herself lean off, she felt strong arms grab her shoulders and pulled her back to surface.
"Woah! Hey, that was close. Did something tick off your mind?" He said as he let go of her arms then still sat of the edge, having one of his hands behind her back.
"Oh…sorry about that…" She replied looking at him trying to crack a smile on her face, saying that 'he can let go now'.
"Phew…wow…now that happened twice." He smiled, trying to cheer her up, seeing that she had some embarrassment on her face.
"Hey, thanks for the save…but, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" She asked looking up to him, trying her best to keep her embarrassment to herself, but failed knowing that he noticed.
"Well, I might have asked the same question." He smiled, letting her know he meant.
"Fine…I-I couldn't sleep, so I took a stroll around the city for a while…" She replied as she lowered her head, guessing what he would say being over-protective and all. Like; "What!?! At the middle of the night?! Don't you know what dangers could happen at this time?!
"Hmm…Okay, but don't you think it was a little too late for you to go here at this time of the night?" He asked, rather concerned of her condition knowing of what happened to her.
"Phew…I thought it was something harsh or strict that would come out of his mouth." She thought with a sigh of relief, thinking of what to reply next.
"Umm…so what about you? Do you do this everyday?" She asked trying to change the subject, thinking if he still had his bad temper with her while planning to keep it down.
"You mean 'every night'." He laughed keeping a smile on his face.
"Umm…Yeah!" She replied happily, accepting her mistake. "Maybe this is the other side of himself…" She thought with a smile on her face.
"Well, since you heard that we have to do those things you call 'jobs' which I'm not sure since Leo came so soon, I kinda sleep the whole day, then at night I do the job my way…you know since I sleep in the day, I work in the night, by taking the name of the 'night watcher'." He replied while looking at the dark, starry, night sky.
"Hey, you're the night watcher?" She asked surprised in a happy way as she looked at him near his face, not even remembering what happened a while ago.
"Umm…yeah…" He replied, cross-eyed, looking at her, focusing on her face.
"Umm…why don't you sleep now? He asked as she backed down and sat back on the edge.
"Aww…fine." She complained as she stood up. Then Raphael stood up, alert thinking if she might fall again, knowing that she stood on the edge of the roof.
"Hehe…don't think I'm going to fall the third ti—!"
"So, you were saying? " He smirked making her accept her mistake as he caught her after she slipped off the roof…again.
"Ugh…" She replied as she got down. "But this won't happen ever again!" She smiled at him.
"C'mon I'll take you back to the lair." He said as he climbed down the roof.
"Kay….thanks…" She replied as she did the same.
After they got down, they both walked to the lair, which seemed like forever.
"Hey, are you sleepy?" She asked as she was still was walking, looking at him.
"Hmm…not really…"
"yawn yeah…me too…" She replied looking at him sleepily.
Raph stared at her blankly, blinking when trying to let her notice.
"hn?...whaaaatt?" She asked.
"Sigh…you really gotta get some sleep, Say." He replied as he scratched his head as they suddenly noticed they were in the front door to the lair.
Then he suddenly felt weight on his right shoulder. Saya fell asleep while he was talking.
"zzzzz…"
"She didn't fall off a cliff or the rooftop. But I still have to carry her in my arms back to Leo's room…geez…" He complained sarcastically as she carried her and went in the lair. Then took a sigh of relief knowing that everyone was still asleep as he went in and to Leo's room, then laid her on the bed.
"Ngh…I can't believe she has to sleep here…" He said to himself setting back the pillows that separated the bed making sure Leo sleeps on the opposite side.
"There. I guess that's about it." He yawned as he looked at Saya.
"G'night Say." He greeted her and left the room.
"Great. Thanks to her. I'm sleepy too. Just great." He said sarcastically as he went to his room and lay down on his bed.
"Hmph. Leo…Fearless Leader…What did he do to deserve her?!" He complained in his mind then after a few minutes he dozed off after having nothing to think of.
