"Why are you mad at me! I saved your life!"
"Who said I wanted to be saved!"
"You NEEDED to be saved!"
Cameron glared at the blue-banded turtle.
"I'm not some little 'damsel in distress' that needs saving! I can take care of myself!"
"Obviously not!"
"If I couldn't, I wouldn't be standing here and having this fight with ya!"
"Why can't you listen to reason!"
"Guess I don't have any, 'Fearless'!"
"Why can't you just listen to me!"
"Because I'm sick and tired of people telling me what to do and messing with my emotions as some sick joke!"
Cameron ran out of the dojo before she had the chance to cry, leaving a confused Leo behind.
'I never did that to her…'
His fist clenched.
'But I'd like to meet who did…'
"She's had a hard life…"
Leo looked across the dojo, seeing Daniela meditating on a mat.
"She doesn't mean to be rough…it's just how she defends herself…"
Leo sat across from her, curious.
"…How does she know Ankoku?"
Daniela sighed, relaxing her stiffened muscles.
"…It's not my place to say…"
She opened her eyes for the first time in the conversation.
"Just give her some space…Let her relax and everything…Then she may be comfortable enough to tell you herself…"
Leo sighed, thinking it over as Daniela left.
'What could've possibly hurt her so much? She always seems impregnable…but…maybe it's just an act?'

Angela sighed as she felt the hot water soothe away the tension in her muscles.
'Hot showers are the best…'
She jumped when the shower door opened, whirling around.
"A-Akai!"
Blushing, she tried to cover up, surprised when Raph stepped in, closing the door behind him.
"Akai?"
With a smirk, he pulled her into a kiss, the water wetting their skin and soaking his gear.
His hands rested on her hips, pulling her closer, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her back touched the cool tile of the wall, and she couldn't help a soft moan as his hands moved down her thighs.
"A-Akai…" She muttered as he kissed her neck, catching his attention.
"Koibito?"
"I-I'm ready…"
With one last questioning look, he nodded.
Let's just say it was a very…EVENTFUL night…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cameron slipped out into the dark living room, heading for the strange pond there.
Looking around warily, making sure everyone was indeed asleep, Cameron slipped off the dark blue top and shorts she wore to bed, soon standing naked next to the water.
Wings folded, her tail swayed with her hips like a ribbon as she headed for the edge.
Stepping in so the water reached her knees, she touched the surface gently, making the softest ripples.
Leo, at that time, needed to go to the kitchen for a glass of water…
He jumped at the sight before him, blushing darkly.
The sudden movement caught Cameron's attention, and he whirled around so his shell faced her.
"S-Sorry!"
"What's there to be sorry about?"
He blushed even darker.
"Y-You're-!"
"Nude. I know. If ya wanted a peek, ya could've just asked."
"I-I wasn't e-expecting it!"
'Who would expect a hot girl to skinny dip in their living room! Wait, did I just think she was hot!'
"Aren't you a ninja?"
"That doesn't mean I know when you're skinny dipping in the living room!"
Cameron put on a slightly hurt face, turning her body to face him.
"So ya don't like the view?"
Panic fueling him, Leo whirled around to counsel her, his eyes accidentally locking on her chest.
'SHELL, those are huge!'
Blushing so dark he felt faint, Leo looked at the ground.
"I-It's not l-like that…"
Cameron shrugged, picking up her clothes.
"I don't mind, ya know…"
Dressing as she walked past him, she headed for the bathroom.
Stopping at the doorframe, she looked over her shoulder, a nonchalant look on her face.
"There'll be another show tomorrow night if yer interested…"
Cameron walked in before Leo could respond, and closed the door.
Once she did, she leaned against it, blushing like mad.
'Why'd I do that!'
Breathing out, she headed for the sink.
'Good thing I'm a great actress…'
