"You know you could at least try to get along with Raph or pretend to." Alopex stood in front of Siv. Siv opened his eyes and just stared back at his old friend. He had been meditating on what he was going to do when he got back into the city.

"Why do you always interrupt me when you know I'm trying to meditate." Siv try his best to look mad at her, but if he was honest with himself, he was praying for a distraction like this since he started his meditation on the hill top.

Alopex looked hurt. "I don't always disrupt you "meditations"."

"When was the last time you let me meditate in peace then." SIv raised an eyebrow at her.

Alopex looked thoughtfully at the clouds overhead. "That is beside the point, I am up here because you need to at least try to act trust worthy. Acting like you want to slit their throats is not the best course of action."

"I don't need a lecture right now, but since you came up here, do you want to practice a little." Siv unsheathed his katana.

"Donnie said you shouldn't be walking and you want to spar, and you called me crazy." Alopex laughed at Siv. "You are far to hurt for any sparring."

"I have had worse." I need to do something or I might drive myself crazy. "Please if it makes you feel better you can used the blindfold that you used in training against the foot ninja." Siv untied the blindfold that he had taken as a prize from their first fight.

"Fine, but don't over exert yourself." She took the blindfold from Siv and tied it around her head covering her eyes.

"Ready?" Siv fully drew his katana. He watched every twitch that came across her face. It was like a map, if read properly he could predict her first move as well as see if their was an area of weakness. She seemed a little bit off with her left shoulder.

"Ready!" Alopex lunged at him trying to catch him before he was fully prepared to defend it, but Siv was ready. He blocked the first attack with ease. Alopex attacked again only to be blocked by Siv's blade. Siv smiled to Alopex. I have missed fun like this. Alopex then did a fake attack at Siv's right shoulder then finished with a swift kick at Siv chest. Siv let out a whimper of pain.

"Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you, I got to into the fight, I'm sorry." Alopex pulled off her blindfold. She was met by a charge from Siv that knocked her to the ground. Alopex looked up to she the tip of a katana pointed at her face.

"Don't tell me you are going soft on me. You can not hesitate in battle, and what did you do to your left shoulder?"

"I'm not going soft. I just didn't want to hurt you further, you need to be able to fight by the time we are back in the city." Alopex pushed Siv's katana to the side and jumped to her feet. "Plus I think it was you who said you didn't want a lecture."

"Well I am sorry, you need to know your flaws if you want to improve on them. I thought you were supposed to be the teacher. Now can you tell me what is wrong with you shoulder?"

"I got shot well fighting the Shredder, I guess it hasn't fully healed."

"Dinner!" Mikey called from the bottom of the hill. He was carrying a large pot full of what ever he had cooked up.

Siv looked skeptically at the turtle he had been told was a moron. "Is it edible."

"Depends if he is in an experimental mood today." Alopex laughed as she started her decent.
