Someone to Count On
Ch. 25
"Facts of His Past Revealed"
After they finished moving everything back into the lair Raphael sighed.
"Well we're back home. Come on Donnie how about the power? Michelangelo is crying; he wants to use his game system."
Donatello looked up as he held the lantern.
"Be patient Raph; this is delicate work and takes time."
Raphael shook his head.
"Yo Leo; why don't you and I go see the girls while Mr. Brains here finishes up. Earth to Leo; hello bro."
Michelangelo exited the game room.
"Raph leave him alone he is meditating; you know how he gets when we disturb him. Feels good to be back home to the old lair."
Leonardo opened his eyes.
"What were you saying Raph?"
Raphael shook his head.
"I was saying let's go see the girls Leo; so Don can finish up here?"
Leonardo nodded.
"Sounds like a good idea. Let me call Milani; and tell her we are on our way over there. Mikey you coming or staying?"
Michelangelo put his head down.
"I'll go with you two bros. Holly has been calling me a lot asking me how we are doing."
Raphael saw his elder brother's eyes and asked.
"Bro you okay? You were meditating for hours. Did you see something?"
Leonardo noticed his shell cell wasn't in his belt so he signaled Raphael to go with him to his room to get it. The two brothers entered Leonardo's room and he sighed.
"You remember my 1st ever girlfriend?"
Raphael thought for a second.
"You mean Lotus bro; you were like 16 when you were with her. What about her; and what does meditating for hours have to do with it?"
He grabbed his shell cell as he answered.
"I saw her in my mind very vaguely; I just have a feeling tonight while we are out with our girls I am going to see her again."
Raphael crossed his arms.
"Are you telling me that you still have feelings for her Leo; after that ancient guy released his wife's spirit you barely saw her again. She literally disappeared after that battle. Exactly how are you going to explain this to Milani?"
Leonardo stared at him.
"What is there to explain bro; I am in love with Milani and only her. Even if I see Lotus again; I can assure you that what we had will not return. Besides she is probably married and has kids already."
Raphael sighed.
"Ok Leo whatever you say. Let's get out of here before Don kicks us all out. You know how he gets when Michelangelo won't shut up about how much he wants to play with his video games?"
Leonardo picked up his shell cell to call Milani.
~At the girls' house~
Milani heard her shell cell ring and answered.
'Hey Leo; how are you doing? Yea sounds good we'll meet you at Coney Island. We are all off today. Don't worry about Emerald she understands that Donatello is busy with getting all the electricity on at the lair. Actually they have been on the phone practically all day. Never mind she's on her way over there to help Donatello. The three of us will see you three soon. I love you Leo; Milani out.'
Leonardo hung up his shell cell and put it in his belt. Then he Michelangelo, and Raphael put their disguises on and headed topside. They made their way to Central Park and waited by the gate for the girls.
~At the lair~
Donatello was still working on the security system when he heard his shell cell ring.
'Ok Eme; I'll meet you topside then take you to the new and improved lair. It's not much yet; still organizing everything and trying to get all the electricity on.'
She smiled as she responded.
'That's fine Don; The others went to Coney Island anyway. I didn't want to go with them especially when my boyfriend wasn't going to be there.'
Donatello went topside in his disguise and met Emerald. She smiled and greeted him with a kiss. Then he kissed her back and they made their way to the lair hand in hand. He opened the entrance that was very well hidden and lead her inside. Then he closed the door behind him and she looked around.
"Wow this is some place. I would never imagine a sewer lair this nice looking. It looks like your house but underground."
He chuckled a little.
"Yes I know we did try to design it like our house above ground. But like Leonardo mentioned we are mutant turtles and don't really belong topside with humans. It was stupid to turn human that's not what we are."
She smiled.
"As I said and so did the others; we don't care what you four are. All we do know is that we are madly in love with you boys."
He smiled.
"Yes I know Eme; I couldn't concentrate Michelangelo was driving me crazy. I had to ask Leonardo and Raphael to get him out of here so I can finish up in peace."
She took off her jacket and put it on the couch.
"Then maybe after you finish I can relieve your mind and achy muscles. What do you say to that Don?"
His eyes went up.
"If we finish before my brothers get back that is."
She smiled slyly at him.
"How will we know if they come in; if we are preoccupied?"
He shook his head.
"Let's finish first then we'll see okay Eme. Here come help me with the security system. Then I can work on getting the electricity up and running finally.
~At Coney Island~
The boys took the girls' hands and made their way to the ticket booth to pay for the tickets. They all got wristbands and headed to the first ride the Himalaya. On the ride the girls held onto the boys very tightly. The three brothers smiled as they held the girls close and screamed at the top of their lungs. After the ride they made their way to the rollercoaster and all six of them screamed when they went down a drop laughing loudly.
The group went on the rides more than once throughout the night. Michelangelo's stomach started growling and he and Holly went by the pizza stand to get a slice of pizza and a soda. Raphael shook his head and looked at Aiko.
"No wonder they are perfect for one another; they both have never-ending stomachs I swear."
Leonardo shook his head.
"Yea tell me about it bro. Girls are you hungry?"
Milani and Aiko nodded and answered.
"Yes we are getting a little hungry. Let's go get something to eat."
The four of them went by the Spanish food stand and got some rice and chicken with sodas. Behind them was a face from Leonardo's past. He turned around to bring the food to his brother and the girls waiting for it. When that person spoke.
"Leonardo; it's me Lotus. What are you doing here alone?"
He looked up.
"I am not alone Lotus; I am here with my girl, Raphael and his girlfriend. It's been a long time since we have seen each other. What happened to you after that emperor freed his wife's spirit from you? I never saw you again; and you didn't even say goodbye."
A Little girl with long black hair tied back in a ponytail and a little boy with a little ponytail pulled on her shirt and asked.
"Mommy who is the weird guy with the green skin you're talking to?"
She smiled as she responded.
"This is an old friend of mommy's; now go by your father I'll be right there."
He looked as they ran back by a Japanese guy that they looked just like and sighed.
"So you disappeared and found a new guy to marry and are a mother too. I am happy for you. They are beautiful children. You didn't just suddenly show up in my life again to show me your kids did you? You have something to tell me don't you?"
She looked down.
"Yes as a matter of a fact I do Leonardo. I have come to warn you; that Karai is not dead and is planning on attacking you all again including anyone that you care about."
At that name mentioned he asked.
"How do you know about Karai; you disappeared when I was like 16? How could you possibly know that she attacked my family?"
Lotus sighed.
"Karai is my younger sister, and I disowned her along with my father years ago. Trust me when I tell you Leonardo I am the complete opposite of my sister Karai. I swear to that on my honor. Larai was a hologram that looked just like Karai to throw you and your family off. "
He shook his head.
"So you're telling me that when I was 15 I dated my mortal enemy's eldest daughter and had no idea? But that time when you attacked us in our lair you had no idea he was your father? How is that even possible?"
She sighed.
"Leonardo; I didn't find out till I got older that Oroku Saki was my father. Actually when Karai came to the city to stop that war she is the one who told me. I didn't believe her until she showed me an old picture album of us before my mother left him because of his evil ways. Leonardo I wouldn't make these things up I am telling you the truth."
Misaki appeared.
"Aunt Lotus; Uncle Han is asking about you? Who are you talking to?"
She looked as she introduced her to him.
"Leonardo this is my niece Misaki; my sister can't find her because she is using my marriage name and came to me asking me to take her in. I appreciate you training her; but she is more like me than her dishonorable mother and wants nothing to do with the foot like me. We put her in a private school to keep her safe."
Misaki sighed and bowed to him.
"Leonardo yes my aunt is telling the truth. She is my mother's older sister; they were separated when they were younger because my grandmother didn't like what my grandfather was involved in. So she took my aunt and raised her. As you know my grandfather raised my mother to be just like him. As for Riku and Riko; they are actually my brother and sister that my mother and father adopted."
She walked away from her Aunt and went by her Uncle and her cousins to eat her food in silence.
Milani started to get worried and walked up to the food stand and approached Leonardo.
"Leo what is taking so long; and who are you talking to? Who is she?"
Leonardo paused.
"Milani this is Lotus Blossom; an old ally of mine and my brothers. Actually she was my 1st girlfriend when I was 15."
Lotus bowed to Milani.
"Milani you have a great boyfriend here; you are a very lucky girl. I must go just remember my warning Leonardo."
Leonardo bowed.
"I will Lotus and thank you; shall we babe?"
Milani looked at him a little angry.
"How many girlfriends have you had before me? Also why wasn't she ever mentioned we are together almost three years. You have a lot of explaining to do turtle boy."
Leonardo sighed.
"Can I please explain later Milani? We are on a date can you calm down now? If I had anymore feelings for her I wouldn't be introducing, you to her. Besides she is married and has two kids. I only love you no one else babe.
~Back at the lair~
Donatello and Emerald finished setting everything up and he tested it. Then he called Leonardo's shell cell.
'Leo everything is up and running at our lair. I text you the new password so you three can get in later. I won't be up because I am wiped out and need to go rest. See you three in the morning; and enjoy yourselves at Coney Island.'
Leonardo responded.
'We will Don; get some rest see you in the morning bro; and make sure you lock your bedroom door too. Don!'
He got angry.
"I can't believe he hung up on me; that was just rude. Milani come on don't give me the silent treatment. We were enjoying ourselves; don't let this mess up our date. She means nothing to me anymore; I was 15 when we were together until I was 16. Milani!"
Raphael snickered.
"Woman trouble bro? Your night is gonna suck bro; she isn't talking to you anymore."
Aiko shook her head as she ate her food and sighed. Then she took a sip of her soda and looked at Leonardo.
"She will not talk to you for days Leo; I advise you to leave her alone the rest of the night."
Milani ate her food in silence and the rest of the night Leonardo left her alone and just sighed.
'Man why is it always me; stupid Leo.'
Milani looked at him and smiled.
"I can't stay mad at you Leo; I know you only love me. Let's all go on the Ferris Wheel to end the night."
~Back at the lair~
Donatello was lying in his bed on his shell and smiled at her.
"So what did you mean by; relieve my mind and my aching muscles Eme? Eme?"
He sat up and looked around for her to see his bathroom light was on. She exited the bathroom and moved toward his bed in a silk robe. He gulped.
"You are very sneaky you know that Eme."
She smiled as she got on the bed and got behind him giving him a massage loosening his tight muscles. He closed his eyes.
"That feels so good babe; You have nice firm hands and they are perfect for loosening a ninja turtles' aching muscles after a long day of work."
He pushed her down to his bed kissing her passionately and smiled at her. She smiled up at him and moved her hands down his shell as the kisses became more passionate. She moaned as his hands moved inside her silk robe as he slid it off to the floor. Then he used his lips and tasted each one making her moan a little louder.
"Oh Donnie that feels so good…. stop teasing me I hate when you do that."
His hands moved down as they continued to kiss passionately and he slid them off to the floor. She closed her eyes as he came down on her causing her to dig her nails in his back. Then she pushed him down and moved up on him causing him to moan loud.
"Oh Emeralddddd…. aghhhhh…."
He felt her moving down and closed his eyes as she took it in her mouth and moaned even more.
"Ohhh Emerald…. why did you…. that feels so good. Don't stop…aghhhhh."
She moved back up on him and he gripped her tightly as they continued across his bed beneath his sheets. Then he pushed her back down and caught her lips in his to keep her quiet as he heard his brothers come in with the girls.
Milani, Aiko, and Holly yawned as they entered the boys' rooms. Raphael went by Donatello's door and shook his head looking at his brothers.
"Obviously Don is getting his dose of loving. They are breathing very heavy in there. I can hear it through his damn door. I thought you and Holly were bad Mikey those two definitely take the cake. I am heading to bed goodnight bros."
Michelangelo glared.
"Hey I resent that remark bro; I am not that bad. Speak for yourself Raph you are no better stop playing innocent with me cause you're not."
Leonardo stayed silent as he made his way up to his room.
"Michelangelo leave it alone; tomorrow morning we get up at 5 and start training. Goodnight."
~Raphael's room~
Raphael just ignored Michelangelo and entered his room to see Aiko fast asleep already. He took off his facemask and got in bed next to her and fell asleep holding her close. She turned toward Raphael and kissed him; then she fell right back to sleep on Raphael soundly.
~Michelangelo's room~
Michelangelo sighed and entered his room to see Holly fast asleep also and then he took off his facemask and fell asleep holding Holly close.
~Leonardo's room~
He entered to see Milani still awake and locked his bedroom door. Then he took off his facemask and got in bed next to her smiling.
"To answer your question you are my third girlfriend. But you are the only girl I am with that turned into a serious relationship. You are the only one that I made love to Milani; Milani?"
He looked to see that she fell asleep soundly on him. Then he brushed back her hair and kissed her on the lips drifting off to sleep holding her close.
