Chapter 25 several months later
Ash never returned, Pitch fully got over her brother's death, and somtimes participate in trainning sessions.
Pitch had on a blind-fold, her shelth armed with Training arrows that had bright red paint on the tips. the object of the excerise was to get to one end of the room to the other silently. without getting hit by one of Pitch Arrows. Leo came up with the idea. the boys were being as silent as possible. Pitch, listening intensly. arrow drawn. trying to target any source of sound. Mikey stepped on a creeky floorboard, and Pitch nailed him in the shell, raph tried to take advantage of the distraction and sprint to the other side of the room, but being as heavy on his feet as he was, Pitch hit him easily. Donnie sneezed and gave up his position.
"c'mon Leo... gimme a hint." she snarled, turning everywhere, trying to catch a whisp of ANYTHING. a breath, a step, a twitch, a sigh. ANYTHING. "oh come on! are you even-"
"I win!"
"moving..." she frowned at her third failed attempt in a row to nail Leo, lifting her blind-fold at the ninja.
"Pitchnight." Master splinter said,
"y-yes sir?" she turned to face him."
"you have been here many months. I think it is time to tell us."
"tell what? exactly?"
"what your plans will be." Splinter explained easily. "it's been two months now."
"Hai." she said, picking up on the respectful terms easily. "I'm not entirely sure. I can't return to the forest. I have no living relative that I know of. I must scout around for a place to live-"
"or you can stay here." Mikey put in,
"no, I can't possibly. this is your living space. not mine."
"and besides, Mikey" Raph explained "if she stayed here, she'd have to fight our battles with us, she can't fight-" he was silenced by a training arrow to the heart.
"Raphael. I shot you a FATAL shot. direct, and perfect. I didn't even need to focus or aim. I just turned and fired. and your saying I can't fight? PLEASE." she got up in his face, "and anyway, my brother and I've been fighting off Kraang bots while we were just strangly starving orpahned Hunter mutant FREAKS with no home or food. I can fight."
"you couldn't protect your brother, what makes you think you can protect yourself?" Raph snarled,
"RAPHAEL!" Master Splinter snapped at him. they all stared. Pitch stormed out of the training room, throwing the training arrows out of her shelth, and grabbing her real ones before leaving.
"REAL smooth Raph" Donnie disproved.
