"Talking"

Thoughts

Leonardo's P.O.V

As I meditate in my room, I couldn't help but worry how Kimi and her family could possibly find us. The closes they got to here was the garage, but they don't know that's the access to the lair…right?

Sigh… Get a grip, Leo… Kimi will call me and ask me for directions and then…

"Leonardo-san~"

I snap my eyes open and find Kimi sitting in front of me staring with a small smile on her face.

"I was wondering when you would notice me," Kimi said nonchalantly, "I've been sitting here for ten minutes."

I jump to my feet and couldn't help but gawk in disbelief.

"Like my outfit. I think its more casual than my nightwear, don't you think?"

It's sort of strange seeing a kunoichi wearing casual clothes. But I can't say she's not looking pretty nice. She's wearing a light blue denim crop jacket over a white shirt, light blue jeans, white shoes, a white headband holding her long black hair back, and a light blue watch.

"H-How did you get here?"

"Remember the garage we met two nights ago? Izzy looked through the city archives and found a blueprint for this place, finding this little lair of yours. Then going through your security was a piece of cake thanks to her."

Outside, I hear Raph and Ruby's voices along with weapons clashing.

"Oh! Don't worry about them. They're probably getting acquainted with each other." She leans on the door. "Right now, Mama Sensei and my sisters should be getting accustomed with your family. Like I told Mikey before I went in here, my family decided if we want to gain some trust and familiarity with each other. What's a better way than to hang out and work on our common goal?"

"You have all of this all planned out, don't you?" I questioned warily.

"Pretty much. I have to for the best of my family, right?" She takes a seat on my bed. "Now let's get to know each other."

"What do you want to know?"

"Your likes? Dislikes? Hobbies? Whatever you do for fun around here. Or do you just sit in here all day?"

"I was meditating…" I corrected.

"Is that all you do?" She said teasingly, "That doesn't seem so fun."

I glared. "Okay then. What exactly do you do for fun?"

The raven haired girl gives out a chuckle. "Guess."

I sighed exasperatedly. "Look, I'm trying to be nice. You're not exactly making it easy for us to get along."

"Easy!" She raises her hands defensively, "I was only trying to lighten you up. I could tell you were tense the moment you laid eyes on me. Can a girl joke around?" Kimi pats my shell. "Maybe you're probably not used to being around an attractive girl like me."

My cheeks slowly heat up. "I wouldn't put it that way…"

Kim then pouts. "You don't think I'm attractive?"

"No! No! No! I mean, yes…! What I mean is, you're really attractive…! Really!"

Why does she make me act this?! She's just a girl! Wait a minute… Did I just call her attractive?

The girl erupts in laughter. "I'm only teasing…! Thanks for the compliment though. But back on topic. What do you want to know about me?"

"Well… I guess how did you become a kunoichi?"

The raven haired kunoichi smirk slowly fades into a frown, instantly making me regret my question.

"I-If its too much, you don't have to answer…!"

"Its quite…complicated… Its just not right time to talk about it…"

Silence take over the room as I couldn't help but feel guilty for asking a touchy subject.

"So," Kimi abruptly said, "I came up with an idea on how to infiltrate the Foot's labs and steal the plans."

"Alright," I said, "Lets here it."

"Tomorrow night, we will infiltrate the Foot HQ. Once inside, we will split up into two teams. Izabelle will lead Don, Mikey, and Jay-Lee to devise a way into the Foot's labs and steal the files to from their mainframe. To keep Don and Izzy covered, Mikey and Jay-Lee will protect them from any soldiers that will come and stop them. With Don's help, Izabelle should be finished with her work by half the average time."

"That's a great plan," I agreed, "but what does that leaves us?"

"I'm glad you asked," Kim grinned, "You, Raph, Ruby, and I will perform as a distraction on the opposite side of the labs in order to give Izzy and her team under the radar. With the soldiers too distracted on us, it will be far too late to stop us once all of us escape."

"And if this plan doesn't work?"

"Then we will move on to destroying the lab."

"That's it?" I said warily, "Don't you think that will be bringing unwanted attention to Don's team?"

"Don't worry! Jayden will be there to help them escape. She's practically the best escape artist out of the rest of us."

"I don't know, Kimi…"

"Leo-san, you have to trust me on this," She said with consideration, "My sisters and I have gone against the Foot Clan for three years now. You and your family probably gone against them for about a year. I know you still have small doubts about my sisters and I, but we really need to prevent the Shredder and his clan from becoming more of a threat to us and the city."

Silence overtook the room fpr awhile before I finally spoke. "Alright… But both of us are going to have to work together to lead this team. I don't want you nor I fighting over who calls the shots."

"Aw~! You're ruining the fun…"

"Kimi…" I warned.

"Kidding!" She jumps off the bed and shakes my hand. "It's a deal!"

"Good," I smiled.

All the sudden, she pecks me on the cheek causing my face to burn as red as Raph's mask.

"W-What was that for?" I asked shakily.

"To seal the deal, of course," Kimi replied with a grin, "I think you should meditate with me. Your face is changing color. Plus, we will be doing this plan tomorrow night. Need to keep that mind in order, right?"

Without another word, she sits lotus style on my mat and begins her meditation. I could only follow suit before one thought kept ringing in my mind.

Why does she make me act like this?!

AN: I hope I didn't make Leo a little OC! Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Until next time! Happy New Year!
