"Yeah I guess so," Leo said. He was nervous. Now he was going to meet the man he was assigned to take down. He got close to Karai, closer than he ever thought. He was really starting to like her. Little did Leo know Karai felt the same about him.

"Don't be so scared," Karai said, "it will be okay. Just agree to everything," Karai sighed, "that's what I've always done."

"I can do that," Leo said.

"Beside we have a whole two weeks before my father comes…alone."

"Alone?" Leo smiled, "that means we can do this?" Leo asked leaning forward to kiss her.

"Plenty of that," she smiled, "especially since you're my fiancé." She kissed him back, "Leo?" she said.

"Yes Karai?"

"I love you."

Leo pulled her into his arms, "I love you too."

"DAMN IT!" Raph snapped, "it's been almost a month and no word from Leo!"

"Raphael!" Yoshi snapped. "Your brother is on an important mission. If he reports back here while undercover he could blow his secret!"

"Yeah I get that, but he could be dead!" Raph snapped.

Yoshi sighed deeply, "do not fret. I am sure we will hear from him soon."

Raph groaned, "I knew I should have gone with him!"

"Raphael, you know that was not possible," Yoshi said, "I am concerned for him as well."

"Uh…Raph?" It was Casey he looked a little nervous as he stuck his head into the tent.

"Brigadier General Hamato!" Casey said saluting.

"Stand down, no need to be formal." Yoshi said.

"Yes sir!" Casey said.

Raph laughed, "Okay Casey what is it?"

"Oh, Leo's on the phone—"

Raph pushed past his new friend and ran to the tent that held the phone. Yoshi pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"Leo!" Raph called into the phone, "where the hell have you been? You should have called sooner! Or written!"

Leo chuckled, "sorry Raph. The situation has been delicate, but things have changed…before we go on can I talk to dad? I already spoke with General Bishop…."

Raph handed the phone to his father, "Leo wants you."

"Leonardo?" Yoshi said, "are you well?"

"I am father," Leo smiled, "I have meet with Karai…and all is well. She's very nice. She really does hate her father…we can trust her…and she knows I'm American…she figured it out on her own…I had to confess…"

"I understand my son. Does the General know?"

"Yeah I told him…he's okay with it…disappointed…but he knows that Karai is smart…this was a risk he was willing to take…." Leo was stumbling over his words.

Yoshi could tell from his son's words and the way he spoke he needed his brother to talk to. It sounded like it was in love with this girl. "Raphael is about ready to pull the phone away from me. I think it would be best if you spoke with him, for my safety."

Leo chuckled, "Okay dad. Thanks. I miss you. Good luck."

Yoshi smiled, "thank you my son. I miss you too, and good luck to you as well. Now here is your brother."

"Leo!" Raph said, "you're not dead!"

Leo laughed, "No I'm not dead. I am doing quite well. Very well…in fact…um…Karai is nice…and smart…and I think I love her…"

"What!?" Raph said shocked.

Even though Raph could not see it, Leo rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah…"

"And the feeling is mutual," Karai whispered

"Is that her?" Raph said.

"Yeah it is. You must be Leo's twin," Karai said.

"Your Karai! Your dad is Saki!" Raph said.

"Don't remind me," Karai sighed, "I don't like talking abut my father…"

"Sorry," Raph said.

"It's okay," Karai said, "I get that a lot…"

"Well…uh…" Raph said.

"You want to talk to Leo?" She laughed and Leo joined in. Raph could tell they really liked each other.

"Listen," Raph said, "just remember your priorities…"

"Listen Raph," Karai said taking the phone from Leo, "he knows where his priorities are! And if I can pick anyone to take down my father…" she paused, "it will be Leo." She was deadly serious.

Donnie came home from work late. When he got home there was a letter there for him from Raph.

iHi Donnie,

It's Raph. Just filling you in on some things. Leo is good. We've talked to him. He's doing goo with his new job. There's a girl there he likes. Uh Casey is bugging me to tell you to tell April he loves and misses her. I told him to write a letter and he said he did, but wants me to include it in my letter too since I have no clue what to write. Yeah well, I'm proud of you little brother. I can't believe you're a doctor. Dad is doing good too. It's pretty quiet, but we're still working hard. How is Mikey doing? Hope he still doing in school. Maybe he's got your brains and he will be a doctor like you. Well I have to go. Sorry I'm no good at this.

Your Brother,

Raphael./i

Donnie looked at the letter a little longer. He could hear his brother's voice. He missed him.

"Mr. Dr. Donnie," a little voice came, "it's Zak…I can't sleep…And usually I don't wake people…but you're awake…so…I came down…" the shy little blind boy looked down.

"Want me to read you a bed time story?" Donnie asked.

Zak gasped a little, "you will?" he twisted his little hands together.

"Of course. It always helps Mikey fall asleep," Donnie smiled. "Want me to carry you?" Donnie asked.

"Okay," Zak smiled brightly, "thanks Mr. Dr. Donnie you're so nice."

"You can just call me Donnie," he smiled lifted Zak onto his shoulders.

"Okay," The little boy resting his chin on Donnie's head. Donnie took the boy into his shared room with Mikey.

Donnie laid Zak in his bed and covered him up and went to get a book. That's when Mikey woke up too.

"Nie?" he called.

"Yeah buddy Zak could not sleep to I came up to read a book to him. Want to listen?"

"Yeah!" Mikey yawned. Snuggling up in his bed. Zak too snuggled in his bed while Donnie read to the two boys until they fell asleep.

Donnie smiled as he silently got up and left the boys room. When he got out of the room he found April wearing one of his shirts. Donnie's heart began to race. She looked so beautiful. From her smile to the way her body curved.

"Hello Doctor," She smiled slowly walking over to Donnie. She pulled him closer by using the tie he was still wearing. She then reached up and pulled his glasses off so that she could see his eyes better.

"April," Donnie said it was the only words he could manage. He was in shock. He had his beautiful, married, friend hanging on him. Right now that did not matter to him. He was in love with her.

"Yes," she smiled.

"Want to go to bed?"

"Together?" she asked smiling.

"Y-yes," Donnie said stuttering as April lead him into her room.

Karai held Leo's hand she walked down the pathway to her house. She was dressed in a beautiful traditional kimono with her hair done up in a fancy bun. She had makeup on, but to Leo she did not need it. Right now she looked so beautiful.

"This is my house," Karai said, "or my prison…" She sighed.

"Don't worry, my love," Leo smiled holding Karai close.

As they got closer Leo could see the house. It was rather large traditional Japanese style house.

"It's going to be heavily armed," Karai said, "and they are all loyal to my dad. They think I support him…"

"And that's why you dressed in men's clothing…" Leo said.

"Yeah so I would not be recognized…by the soldiers and other supports. I wanted the people who opposed my father to know I supported them…I know risky…"

"Don't worry Karai, I get it." Leo smiled before he kissed her.

They stopped at the entrance gate. There was two soldiers there. They bowed to Karai.

"Who is the turtle," one said.

"He's my fiancé," Karai said in a soft voice, "now I want to go into my home. It's been a long time since I have been home."

"I apologize," the second one said.

"Leo it's time to go home," she smiled as the gates opened for them. With their arms linked Karai and Leo walked down the path. It was clear path from the gate to the front door so no soldiers followed them since there were soldiers at both the gate and the front door. The second Karai and Leo reached the door the soldier opened the door and bowed to them.

Leo looked around the house. There were maids and servants walking around. Every time one of them saw Karai and Leo they would bow and greet them.

"This place is amazing," Leo said.

"It's a prison Leo," Karai whispered as she led him down a hall. "Anyway this is my hallway." She led Leo into her room.

"Should I stay in your room…" Leo asked looking around the large spacious room.

"We are engaged," Karai smiled snuggling close to Leo. Then she looked around and dropped her voice to a whisper, "even if it's only a rouse."

Leo looked around and listen carefully, before he spoke as well. "Maybe one day it won't be a rouse," Leo said.

"Leo," Karai breathed, speaking quieter than before.

"I mean it," Leo whispered to her. "When all this is over and we are safe from your father and living safely on America I will propose to you."

Karai laughed, she raised her voice a little. "That sounds fair," she smiled. "Now we have two weeks to finalize our plan. Tonight we have a feast!"

"What?" Leo said his voice raised a little more as well.

"They are welcoming me home. This one will be small compared to when my father come home. I am sure that he will make it grander when-WAIT!" Karai suddenly dropped her voice back down to a whisper. "That will be perfect! Leo I have an idea. I know how we can…we can….kill my father…"
