Disclaimer: I don't own the TMNT; I just write fanfics about them. Katina, Hana, Kira, Tashina, Kimmico, Zenobia and any other character I create are of my own.

Kurai is Dragon Lord's commander of the Rank army, and he is married to Tashina, Dragon Lord's sister.

"This isn't fair," Venus complained, lying in bed. "I already have morning sickness. I don't need the flu."

"You ain't that bad," Raphael replied, placing bottle of water by the nightstand. "Donnie said you shouldn't be sick more than a couple of days."

"I've been sick. I don't want to be sick no more." Venus rolled over on her stomach, looking away from him. "You don't know how miserable I am."

"You're pregnant."

"I can't do anything," Venus complained. "I can't eat because if have to throw up. I can't sleep because I have to throw up. I'm tired of throwing up."

"I'm tired of it too."

Venus turned her head to him, glaring angrily.

"Okay, maybe not as tired as you, but come on, Venus. I hate seeing you like this," Raphael replied.

"I know," Venus replied, turning away. "I'm tired."

"Alright, then get some sleep. I'll be in the next room," Raphael replied. "Get some sleep."

Raphael stared at her sleeping as he left the room, hoping she'd feel better, and less cranky, when she awoke.

"Damnit."

Raphael walked in the lab watching Donatello fight with the computer. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Donatello gripped. "Nothing's responding."

"You blew it up."

"No…not this time," Donatello fussed. "I didn't do anything."

I can't believe I'm doing this. He thought as he slipped in the Rank uniform. It was tight, thanks to shell, but he tried not to complain too much.

Kat climbed stairway to the rooftop. She couldn't hear Leonardo cursing and complaining about the uniform she left him. She wanted to laugh, hearing such a grown man cry, but her curiosity overwhelmed her. As she reached the top, she paused, watching him dress.

Leonardo sighed as he straightened the uniform out. He felt so traitorous in it, or maybe it was the idea of him actually wearing clothes, but he was uncomfortable. He covered his mouth

Kat bit her lip watching him. The uniform fit him well, showing off all his muscles. He's got muscles. Wow. Had she noticed that before?

Leonardo paused in his movements, sensing he was being watched. "Who's there?" he asked, picking up his belt.

"It's just me," Kat replied, straightening up before walking up to the roof.

Trusting her, Leonardo focused on his belt, pulling ninja stars and a small knife out to slip in his uniform.

Kat walked over to him and placed a hand on his arm, feeling his muscle under the disguise. "You look good…What I mean is, it fits you well."

"Yeah," Leonardo shrugged and looked up, drooling. Kat stood before him in a Chinese style sleeveless red dress with floral prints embroidered through out. Her hair was twisted up and held by matching chopsticks with a few loose strands cascading down her back. The dress was tight, fitting to every detail of her curves, and left him feeling tight in his uniform. Fumbling with the belt in hand, he dropped it and quickly bent down to pick it up. "I'll do you nicely…I'm mean it fits just fine."

"That's good," Kat smiled, noticing the way he was looking at her.

"When is your father expecting us?"

Kat glanced away, feeling her cheeks blush. "In about a half hour."

"Okay, so umm…what am I supposed to do?"

"We are eating dinner with my father…he is..." You can't tell him he's Dragon Lord. "He is the Rank leader."

"I think you told me that once," Leonardo replied, noticing that she wasn't looking at him. "Hey," he asked, turning her to face him. "What's wrong? You nervous."

Kat nodded.

"Well don't be," Leonardo assured her and held out his arm. "Just tell me everything you told your father so we can keep the lie straight."

"Okay." Staring at him intensively, Kat slipped her arm in his. "Well, first off…"

"If I had hair, I would've ripped it out already!"

"Donnie, what is the dig deal?" Raphael asked, spinning around in the computer chair. "So your computer isn't working. So what?"

"You don't understand. I have things to do," Donatello explained. "And stop that. You're making me dizzy."

Raphael put his feet down, stopping him from spinning. "Donnie, chill out."

"I need my computer back up."

"Okay."

"You don't understand. I need my computer back up."

"Donnie."

"I need my computer up, now."

Raphael raised his hands in defense. "Okay, then fix it."

Donatello rolled his eyes and opened up the CPU.

"Okay, so let me get this straight. I'm a rogue dragon named Lee who wonders the city looking for the Turtles lair."

"Yes," Kat nodded.

"And your father believed this?" Leonardo asked.

"Yes," Kat replied.

"You really didn't think this through very well."

"Not really."

Dragon Lord paced around his throne room.

"The princess is on her way back to the palace, Majesty." Kurai replied.

Dragon Lord paused and turned to him. "And?"

"She is returning with her rogue dragon."

"So she has one then." Dragon Lord said. "Do you recognize him? This Lee?"

"No, Majesty," Kurai replied. "But there are so many young dragons that do not occupy the palace. It's not a surprise that he is not familiar to us."

"What class is he?"

"He's a Rank warrior. Unless it's stolen, he wears the uniform," Kurai replied. "He's not a servant if that is what you are asking."

"So he's a Rank warrior, well not a very loyal one." Dragon Lord said. "But still a member of the Rank."

"Majesty," a servant walked in and bowed. "Princess Katina and her suitor are in the palace."

"Fine," Dragon Lord said and shooed the servant away. "Well, then." He said, turning to Kurai. "Let's just see how Lee holds up."

Leonardo was amazed as he and Kat walked around the palace. He had never explored the palace before. Whenever he was in it, he was running through and saving a brother. He was surprised how well-structured the dragon's handled themselves. They seemed to live like a little community, yet they were still sheltered from the outside world—like his lair.

There was one thing that bugged him. He found it strange that servants bowed to Kat and opened doors for them as they walked through.

"How do I address your father?" he whispered to her.

"What?"

"How do I address him? Do I say Sir or does he have a name?" Leonardo asked, as the final door opened.

Kat smirked nervously. "Well…"

Leonardo's eyes widened as the Dragon Lord stood before him.

"Majesty." Kat replied and bowed to her father.
