I re-wrote some of this chapter. The Jason background is different, better. I thought it was pretty commercial before and bland. Also some other miner things here and there making the plot a little thicker and more enjoyable. as of 11/6/07
Donatello wiped off Fiona's wounds on her knee and shoulders from the impact on the wooden table. Mikey held her hand running his thumb over her knuckles as she forced a smile at him, her thoughts not far from her sister.
"What do you think she's doing?" Fiona asked looking over at Lexine. She looked up from the table startled to hear her sister's voice and shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm not sure Fe." She sighed. Jacqueline shook her head getting up from the couch and started pacing the floor.
"What if she joins the Shredder?" Fiona said narrowing her eyes.
"We'll have a hell of a fight ahead of us then." Jac said crossing her arms over her chest.
"You can't possible mean that Jacqueline!" Lexine gasped.
"Why the fuck not? That's not our sister!" Lexi pressed her lips together tightly putting her head down as Jac sighed wrapping her arms around Lexi's shoulders and brining her head into her chest. "Sorry Lex, I'm just…" She sighed. "I'm just as scared as you are." Lexi nodded her head.
"I understand Jac."
"Jason is lucky he's dead." Fiona said in a slow smoky voice. Jacqueline looked over at her with a raised eyebrow smiling at the fact her younger sister could be just like her sometimes.
"Who was that dude anyways?" Mikey asked sitting next to Fiona.
"Jason." Jac said her eyes flashing red. "Jade's ex." Leo picked his head up looking over at Jacqueline. "Our mom wasn't really fully there for us at all times growing up. She had to support four girls and with our dad out of the picture she had to do it alone, with the help of Jade. She did everything mom didn't, pickin' up the slack. She taught me basically everythin' I know and then Jason came into our lives and everythin' just got worse. Dad leavin' broke her heart once but Jason just took those pieces and shattered them to dust. She was with him when she was sixteen until he cheated on her and left her for that girl. He told her that he loved her and was going to leave that girl soon enough. They'd fight a lot and it would get physical. She'd come home with bruises on her arms and say they were just wrestlin'. I knew the difference. We fought a lot about it, mainly because she was being stupid and mainly because I wanted to help her. We all did. But she was always strong, and never let us see her cry."
"He would beat her?" Raphael said narrowing his eyes. He hated the idea of a man harming a women in anyway.
"Yeah. She'd say it was her fault, she pushed him too far or some ridiculous idea like that." Lexine sighed. Jacqueline nodded her head as Leo and Raph both shifted agitated in their seats.
"I used to hear it though, which made it even worse. She used to tell me about a guy she made up that would be the one for her…" Jac went on.
"An impossible persona for a male, she used to say." Lexi added with a smile. "He'd have brown eyes with blue, and would protect her no matter what happened or how dangerous the outcome. A hero type. She used to think it was Val Kilmer when Batman came out." Lexi smiled. "She said every time she'd be with him she'd feel safe, like nothing could harm her or break her heart. He'd never have the ability to break it because he mended it." She went on chocking back tears. "While she had day dreams about her Mr. Right, she suppressed her feelings and anguish towards our father and towards Jason, creating June."
Leo listened to Lexi's words about her sister as he remembered his promise to her to keep her safe, try to keep her safe. He sighed shaking his head and getting to his feet.
"Where are you going?" Jac said as he walked towards the stairs.
"I made a promise to someone." He said over his shoulder leaving the lair.
"He has to bring her back. He has to be the one to do it." Jac said keeping her eyes on Leo as he left.
"If I know my brother, he won't be able to let her down. It's not in his DNA." Raph said following Jac's glance towards his brother.
"You have a lot of respect for him huh?" Jac said nudging Raph's shoulder.
"He has his moments." Raph said nonchalantly.
Leo made his way to the surface and climbed a fire escape looking out over the City. He looked for her in every alleyway, every street and found nothing. He sat on the edge of a roof, feeling like he let her down like he left her family down. He closed his eyes as the cold autumn wind blew over him. He felt something ripple through his body. He kept his eye shut, with a confused expression as he felt it again. He saw beautiful art down a hall way, as Ouroki Saki walked along the side. He opened his eyes jumping to his feet. He knew where she was.
She brushed out of dry hair, putting it up in a loose bun letting strands of it framed her face. She sighed at her appearance as she walked out of the bathroom looking in the closet. She saw the perfect dress hanging there in the middle. It was a black tube top dress with embroidered Japanese characters along the sides. She slipped it on, as it came up about mid thigh, grabbing a pair of shoes that strapped around her ankle with a two inch heel. She turned towards the mirror beside her, smoothing out the silk fabric with a nod.
A Foot knocked on her door and she jumped slightly, clearing her throat and crossing her arms in an infuriated stance, narrowing her eyes.
"Come in." She said fiercely as the Foot stepped inside with a bow. She ignored the jester. "What?" She said annoyed. He lifted his head looking at her.
"Our Master wishes to speak with you."
"Fine." She said walking out of her room past him. He followed her as he showed her to Saki's room. Saki smiled as she entered getting up from his desk as she stood crossing her arms. His smile faded as he pulled out a chair for her to sit. She did, crossing her legs as he sat back at his desk. He waved his hand for the Foot to leave. He bowed and closed the doors behind him. Saki smiled offering her some tea and she held up a hand.
"Not one for tea." She said shortly.
"I see you found your clothing."
"Our agreement?" She said ignoring the small talk. He sat up straight and nodded his head.
"You work for me now. You're going to be a secret weapon so to speak." He smirked. "Those turtles have been an annoying complication to my growing business for years now. They need to be put to stop once and for all. That's where you come in."
"Payment." She said never moving from her arm crossed, legs crossed position on the chair in front of him.
"That will come later." Saki said narrowing his eyes at her.
"Fine." She said sitting up waving her hand. "Why do you need me to I kill those creatures?"
"I had been hoping that hold we put Jade through would push her to the edge but, I never had expectations of you." He said with a smile, she nodded her head accepting the compliment. "You're knowledge of where their secret lair is under the sewers is going to be useful. I take my Foot Ninja there and once and for all end those miserable beings exsistance." Saki said with an evil grin. She raised an eyebrow.
"I kill those disgusting turtles, then what?"
"Then my dear, I give you anything and everything you could ever dream of." She smiled sitting back against the chair.
"And what of her sisters?"
"Do with them what you wish, they're of no concern of mine. Only those freaks." Saki said slamming his fist down on the arm of his chair. She smiled nodding her head. A Foot Ninja busts through the door as Saki stood up from his chair narrowing his eyes. The Foot Ninja bowed apologetic.
"What is the meaning of this interruption?" He said in a loud demanding voice. The Foot Ninja bowed once more.
"I'm sorry Master, but that turtle, he's here."
"Which one?"
"Katanas." Saki smiled and walked over to her taking her hand.
"We'll just have to go for a little detour my dear and visit our guest." She smiled taking his hand and standing up.
They walked to the main entry room as Leonardo was surrounded by Foot. His katanas were taken from him and he looked up as he saw her walk down the stairs narrowing his eyes as he saw her hand lightly grasped by Ouroki Saki's. He growled getting to his feet and charging towards Saki as Foot pushed him back to the ground. She smiled as Saki moved the Foot out of the way, letting her go over to Leo. Foot Ninjas grabbed Leo, bringing him to his feet to look into her eyes. He looked away at first, not wanting to see the eyes of someone he didn't know, someone he wasn't there to protect. But, he looked back at her as he felt something ripple once more though his senses.
"Well my dear. You'll have one down and three to go." Saki smiled crossing his arms. She ignored him, keeping her eyes locked on Leo's. They were sad and pleading, not for his life, but for Jade to come back. For him to see her one last time.
"No." She said as Leo picked his head up in hope.
"No? Have you forgotten…"
"I haven't forgotten anything Saki." She growled looking over at him as he narrowed his eyes. She looked back at Leo with a smile. "I want his brothers to watch." She said sliding her finger along his cheek, slapping him. Saki nodded his head with a smile as she turned away from Leo.
"Take him to the holding cells." He said waving his hand for the Foot to take Leo away. He struggled as the Foot dragged him away. His growling and yells echoed through the main entry way and stairs and she walked up them. She stopped walking as the screams being cut off by a slamming door and smiled continued with Saki to finish their agreement.
