Raphael had planned on just going out for a walk but his better half had got to him and now he was currently searching for Hitori. He had realized that he may not trust the girl, but his brother's did, his father did, so why couldn't he?

From the rooftop, he eyed the intersection below, it was empty, as had the several other streets he'd looked over.

"This is ridiculous. How'm I s'pose ta find one girl in dis city?" Raph let out a frustrated sigh and jumped to the next building.

It had been hours since he'd left the lair and it would be daylight in an hour or two meaning he'd have to call off his search. From his spot on the corner of the building he could see a huge chunk of the block he was on. It was still dark enough for the lamps the spotlight parts of the side walk. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw her. She was walking in a slow pace to the outskirts of the city.

The red clad turtle jumped over to the building closer to the women. Once there he could clearly see that it was indeed Hitori. From the building he jumped to the ground and jogged to catch up to her. When she was in arms reach he put a hand on her shoulder. Hope she don' think I'm some sort of creep.

As soon as his three fingered hand touched the girl, she flinched and within milliseconds Raphael was on his shell looking up into the fierce ocean eyes of the girl he'd been after all night. She realized who it was as soon as he'd landed and quickly lowered her stance and turned away ashamed.

He got up quickly. "Where th' hell did that come from?" His tone wasn't cruel but it had an edge.

The girl shrugged. She didn't feel like talking anymore and she could feel the scratchy sensation creep up her throat.

"Wha', not gonna talk now?" Raph's temper was growing again as he turned and watched her start to walk off.

"Hey wait!" He took the few steps she'd taken from him. "I'm sorry. It's jus'…" He looked down finding the ground very interesting.

"You know our biggest secret, I figured you'd let us know everythin' 'bout you."

Hitori turned to look at the turtle. He was still interested in the ground, but that changed when she placed a small hand on his shoulder. Bronze met blue in that split second.

"When I'm ready, I promise to tell you."

Raphael couldn't help the smile that crept onto his lips. Her voice was so soft, gentle and seemed to hold a sense of innocence. How could he have ever accused her of betraying him and his family?

"C'mon let's get ya home." Her eye let up as she nodded and she followed Raph as he walked to the nearest manhole.

They walked together in the sewers in silence, faint drops were the only thing heard.

"So," Raph drew out the 'o'. "Where'd ya learn that stunt back there?"

She was quite for a second and Raph thought he'd pushed his limit.

"Karate, back when I was young."

The silence returned and continued for several minutes as Raphael guided them back to the lair. Half way back he heard the girl dragging her feet. Guess she's tired…

Hitori was tired, she was fighting to stay walk, to keep her feet moving, one in front of the other. That was until she was hoisted into Raph's arms. When she looked at him he laughed.

"You were fallin' asleep on ya feet, you're welcome."

Getting comfortable in his arms she drifted off, allowing sleep to win for the second time that night.

Steps away from the door Raphael looked down to the blue haired girl in his arms, her head rested on the topmost part of his plastron and her arms rested peacefully in her lap. As he freed an arm to open the lair's door her head fell limply to the side. A nearly white scar across her neck pecked an interest. Maybe she's mute for anotha reason.

Once the door was open three pairs of eyes met his and then directed themselves to the girl in his arms.

"We had begun to worry about you Raphael."

He sent a quick apology to his father and then locked eyes with his older brother.

"What happened?"

"She was tired, nothin' more." Leo raised an eye ridge. "Honest, I'm not stealin' your girlfriend."

Leo's eyes widened and a faint (extremely faint) blush made its way to his cheeks.

"She's not my girlfriend…"

He'd put his hands up in defense, if they weren't occupied by Hitori. He walked up to Leo passing Mikey who was snickering still at Raph's comment.

"Here Leo, take ya girlfriend so I can get ta bed."

Said turtle would have protested Raph's statement but was too busy exchanging the girl into his arms where she instantly curled into him. The action caused the blush to darken.

Leo turned and said 'good night' to the rest of his family before taking the girl up to his room and tucking her gently into his bed. As soon as he went to leave she grabbed his hand and pulled it against it.

Now what do I do? He stood there for a moment and contemplated on what to do, and how to get his hand away from the clutches of the girl. He heard footsteps going down the hall and took a chance to call for help.

"Don, is that you?"

The door to his room creaked open.

"You want me to fix that Leo? It's kinda loud." Don said eyeing the door. He looked to see his brother standing next to the bed with a worried expression across his face. "What's wrong?"

"She won't let go of my hand, what do I do?"

Donnie's mouth twitched slightly to a smirk. "She's your girlfriend, you can figure something out."

Donnie took leave from the door frame and continued down the hall. Leo returned to looking at the sleeping girl holding his hand. Not you too Donnie…

Leo slowly knelt down and rested his free hand on the open space and used it as a pillow. Sitting on the floor of his room with his head resting on the bed next to the girl he'd only met days ago was how Leonardo fell asleep. I'm never going to hear the end of this…

Everybody knows the drill… R&R
