Karai's POV

I had put Yoshi to bed, and was amusing myself with kata silently in the main room of my apartment. I mused at how I had become a mother, and the strange turn my life had taken.

It had started when we had been searching for chemicals for Father. We had gone to the docks, when those vigilantes had again ruined our night. We got away, but several of our men were badly hurt.

For the first time I actually got a real look at our enemies. Kappa! We were fighting Kappa! I told Father the news, as expected he wasn't impressed, and we were sent out to trap the Kappa. As with before, we were unable to defeat them.

Fortune smiled on us then, in the form of a naive news reporter. She led us to the Kappa's lair, where we were able to capture three of them. We took them back to the estate, in order to drain their blood of mutagen.

The one in blue, was calm. I knew his voice from the many times he had lead the other vigilantes into battle against us. He had honour. I had been raised in Japan, high in the Foot Clan's mountain stronghold, where the old ways of the Shinobi are taught. This Kappa was the model of everything that our code said a Shinobi should be.

And yet, Father, whom I loved dearly, had drifted away from the old ways, and was being led astray, by that wretched orphan Eric Sacks. Robot armor, firearms, these were not the way of the Shinobi. Still, I was an obedient daughter. I did what was asked of me, dutifully.

I took the leader of the Kappa into a side room before interrogating him about the rat and his own brothers. He told me little. But that, is not why I brought him in here. I turned off the camera's then moved closer to him.

I told him, that I respected his skills as a Warrior, as a leader of his group, and that I wanted him to face death as a man. He had looked at me uncomprehendingly for a moment, before my actions showed him what I meant.

We said nothing to one another during the process. I gave him his manhood, before I cleaned him up. Once I was also clean, I called the soldiers to take him to the others.

It may seem odd to an outsider, but I was willing to sacrifice my dignity, in order to honour him before he died. Only he didn't die. We chased him and his brothers, before an avalance ended our efforts.

I was stuck in the snow for three days before, he returned. He had come to retrieve something that they had left behind. He had pulled me out, whilst he searched all the vehicles for whatever he sought.

My companions had died from the cold, but I had thought to wear thermal waterproof clothing, which had protected me somewhat. He checked me for injuries, then, he tied me to a pipe in one of the labs. They left with what they had come for.

It was when I was found by a staff member, and taken to hospital, that I found out that I was pregnant. I told Father and Sacks I was returning to Japan, before doubling back and moving into a top floor apartment I had brought some years previously under an assumed name.

I am fortunate that my son resembles me, rather than his father. That would have been difficult to explain that at the hospital. Still, he has his father's piercing blue eyes, and his father's calm demenor.

Since then, I have lived a quiet reclusive life as a children's writer. My stories of heroic Kappa, are drawn from legends from my homeland, with maybe, just a touch of the experiences I've had with the battles facing the four Kappa brothers.

I was about the head to bed myself, when I heard my bedroom window being pried open. I took my katana and went to investigate.

"Chikushō!" I cursed as a Foot ninja entered my home. I dispatched him quickly before running to Yoshi's room to wake him. I hastily dressed him and we left the apartment.

We were chased into a nearby alley, and set upon by six more ninja. I told Yoshi to keep back while I prevented the Foot from taking my son.

I was grateful to see the familiar outline of his father coming to our rescue. Together, we were able to fight the first group off. There were more coming, so I told Leonardo to take Yoshi and run. He did as I asked, and I tossed him the key to my apartment, so he could later gather more of Yoshi's clothes.

I went off to face the new group of Foot soldiers, in order to distract them, giving Leonardo and Yoshi a chance to get away.

I woke up in one of the estates laboratories. I was strapped to a steel gurney, with a smiling Eric Sacks looking down at me.
