Lost

Chpt. 9

Leonardo leaned against a chimney waiting, the wind picking up behind him. It was most unlike the fearless leader of the foot to be late. Just like her, she'll do anything to piss me off and I can't help but like that about her he thought softly to himself making himself snarl loudly.

"Such an impatient pest you are..." a mockingly sweet voice said from in front of him, his head snapped up instantly his nerves cooling and a devilish smile coursing across his face.

"Now now Karai, that is no such way a lady like yourself should speak or act," he said softly seeing the annoyance cross her face and her eyes narrow,"It's the proper way to be exactly on time, no later no earlier..."

Her blade shot out clashing with Leonardo's drawn sword, his smirking face meeting her glaring eyes. Their silhouettes seemed to stay at a unison rhythm, the full moon slowly becoming clouded by dark clouds making them disappear in shadows but the sounds of their swords clashing could be heard over the picking up winds.

Her foot slid across the ground knocking Leo over, her sword swooshing down to be met with another loud clank! His swords were drawn over his head in an X, their glaring eyes locked. Their faces etched closer to each other as each of them became more determined to knock the weapon from the other. Softly without thinking much into it, Leo pushed his lips into hers and surprisingly she pushed into the kiss as rain drops began to drop slowly then in seconds it began to pour down. Both blades were dropped as the kiss deepened, soon enough Karai was pushed against the wall holding onto Leonardo her arms draped tightly around his neck.

"You know, your not the kind of girl I can ever picture myself giving flowers and candy," he whispered softly both snapping back to their senses, Karai pushing him off her throwing a punch at him that smashed into his waiting forearm.

"And you are not the kind of man I would have ever seen myself exactly cooking dinner for," she snapped as he ducked away from a kick to the head.

Their weapons lay forgotten on the ground as they led an onslaught of kicks and punches at each other, neither backing down.

Blood rolled down Leonardo's lip as her foot slammed into it making him tumble slightly to the ground her foot locking with his throat knocking the air out of him as the pressure got stronger. Swiftly his arm slammed into a pressure point on her leg knocking her to the ground, breathing harder he rolled ontop of her his fingers tightly locked with her neck.

He leaned in close and whispered in her ear as watched her face pale,"I hate you, I hate you so much..."

Struggling desperately Karai managed to push herself up just enough to kiss him slightly on the lips. His fingers loosened slightly then completly as he pushed into the kiss once more, allowing himself to admit he missed exactly this.

"I hate you too," she whispered back pushing deeper into the kiss.

It some what made Leonardo's mind go to ease knowing this would be his life, always sharing a love hate relationship with this girl until the day one of them finally managed to murder the other without giving into the temptation that they trapped themselves into.

...

A confused member of the Purple Dragons watched the scene in a slightly disgusted way, this was not what he expected when he was assighned to keep an eye on the leader of the foot clan.

His fingers tightened around the binoculars as he pressed the button on his transmitter on his ear.

"What is she doing?" a deep voice questioned.

"It appears she's making out with the turtle you wanted," he said softly flinching as a deep loud laugh filled his head.

"I always had my suspicions but that is too much," he laughed louder almost tempting the minion to hang up on his boss,"This is your perfect opportunity, I want them both alive, where are you?"

Quickly he told him where he was and his eyes averted away from his two enemies, the girl pressed against the wall her nails pushing into the turtles neck.

...

Leo's head snapped up suddenly at the sound of something, Karai eyes beginning to scan the area as well.

"I can't wait to see the freak show children you two bring forth into the world," the smirking voice of Hun said as he stepped from the shadows, Purple Dragons surrounding the place.

Swiftly Leonardo grabbed onto Karai's arm and began to hurry off before he could see what Hun wanted, although he had an idea.

They hurried across roof tops, avoiding bullets as the Purple Dragons shot at them mercilessly. Their backs were together as the punks began coming out of no where surrounding them both knowing they would have to fight for their lives.

Soon enough the fight began, both of them dodging onslaughts of bullets and knocking PDs to the ground swiftly before more damage could be done.

In the midst of the battle strong arms grabbed onto Karai, a hand clasping over her mouth to prevent sound from escaping her, a gun pointed to her head.

"Give up, freak," Hun scoffed shoving the barrel deeply into her scalp,"Or the girl dies."

Leonardo simply smiled and replied nonchalantly,"Do it, I dare you."

Karai's eyes widened to that and Hun's eyes filled with confusion,"Don't tempt me! I will do it, I'm calling the shots here!"

Leonardo simply smiled to that his eyes scanning around the area to the PDs and their brainless leader they were like hyenas just waiting for scraps of meat to be thrown to them but he wasn't feeling so generous,"Are you now? Is it just me or is that gun's lock still on?"

Hun snarled to that a low clank filling the area over the rustling winds as he tried to make it seem less like an empty threat, it made Leonardo's smile broaden. Softly he stepped to the edge of the building making Hun nervous.

"Shoot her and I'll jump," he stated simply balancing himself on the edge making him cringe and eyes shoot to all the PDs,"Oh? Do you not like this? Interesting...you need me as much as her, she knows the ritual and I am the ritual's key aspect."

Hun glared at him as he smiled and his smile broadened with an evil glint in his eyes and he contiued,"Tell your men to stand down and release Karai, then we can nogchiat my demands."

Leo's head tilted to the laugh that escaped from Hun's mouth at that, his mind slowly fazing as something hit his neck and the last thing he felt were hands pulling him away from the edge.

"No, I think I'll keep to calling the shots," he said softly the back of his hand hitting against Karai's neck smiling to one of the PD members holding a dart gun.

...

Leonardo's eyes softly fluttered open waking to some kind of wear house room that being used as a make shift cell. Karai lay next to him still unconscious, his mind was whirling to this, he was out smarted by Hun, how humiliating.

Softly Karai began to stir, making his eyes shift to her,"Good morning sleeping beauty..."

Her eyes fell on him drowsily and then slowly focused on the turtle,"Where are we..."

He thought about saying something sarcastic but thought better of it,"No idea..."

Soon enough he was sitting close beside her staring at the same wall she was, then out of the blue she said softly,"If things were different, do you think we could actually love each other?"

He just shrugged softly to it and smiled,"No," she looked at him confussedly as he added,"Because i could never love an actually sane woman there would be no fun in it."

She smiled hitting him against the arm softly,"And I couldn't love some who actually stuck to one set personality."

Softly their fingers met and they stayed in silence for awhile until Leo finally spoke,"Come on baby, let's get married."

"Excuse me?" Karai spat looking at him like he was a mad man, but his smile didn't disappear.

"It's a good idea, we can stop fighting at last and maybe it will knock back some memories into me," he said making Karai smile and lean her head against his shoulder.

"Maybe it would, maybe it would," she said softly her hand tightening around his, giving the unofficial agreement.

"Hey, I want to do something crazy," she just laughed looking away from him.

"You've been doing that since before you lost your memories, why start warning people now?" he rolled his eyes, his eyes going down to the pendant around his neck.

"Lucky for us, the guards are as dumb as they look," he looked to her more seriously now,"Do you have anything sharp on you?"

Without answering she dug in her robe and dug out a kunai handing it to him. Then her eyes grew in confusion as she watched him slit open his palm and softly she bit her lip watching the blood roll down. Again she didn't ask, simply watched as he drew a familiar symbol on the ground and softly he dropped the pendant on the symbol.

"Don't think I haven't been doing my home work on this thing," he said softly wrapping his fingers in hers,"The biggest thing you did wrong was I had to want the thing you wanted and the full moon wasn't out."

At her tilted head he continued,"You were performing the ceremony and I was the one who's heart connected with it and we both wanted very different things, and the full moon is the most power full spiritual force around."

Karai couldn't believe she could have been so stupid to not realize those factors herself but had no time to ask as he added,"This time though, we both want to get out of here and the full moon is out, so it should work."

Softly they both closed their eyes and Karai began muttering the words for the ritual. The pendant began to fully glow before them then everything went black.
