Dani-curtis-16: So, what do ya think of the Japanese? I take classes, and since I established that Leo and Dani speak Japanese…

The TMNT and Dani: GET BACK TO THE STORY, DAMMIT!

Dani-curtis-16: Awww, Hamato family moment!

Dani: Just. Get. On. With. It.

Dani's POV

When the Ultimate Daimyo walked into the room, I was hyperventilating into Leo's chest, begging for this to be a nightmare, for me to have NOT just done what I did. Leo was stroking my hair, whispering soothing words of comfort in English and Japanese. Usagi was next to the Ultimate Ninja, checking his vitals.

The Daimyo gasped, "My son! What has happened?"

Usagi looked up at him, "Your son wrongfully attacked Danielle. She would have been killed had Leonardo-san" Usagi gestured to the two of us standing together, "not arrived when he had. But the Ultimate Ninja attempted to kill him, prompting Danielle to act to save her brother's life."

The Daimyo stared at me in angry disbelief, "You stabbed my son?"

I hid my face in Leo's shoulder as he hissed, a menacing glare on his face, "Weren't you listening? Your son almost murdered her in cold blood! I KNEW this was a stupid plan!"

I clutched Leo as I sobbed, "I'm sooo sorry… I just… Leo needed me and…"

Leo looked at me anxiously, "There's nothing to be sorry about, hon. It wasn't your fault, so don't apologize."

Usagi nodded, "Your brother is right. And The Ultimate Ninja is down, but he'll live."

I sighed a breath of relief. "Phew. I was scared I killed him… but, I mean, I couldn't just watch him kill you, Leo. Ouch!" I hissed as I moved the wrong way and hurt my broken arm.

Leo and Usagi both looked at me in alarm. Leo growled, and Usagi sighed, "You're hurt. Bad. Let us take you and the Ultimate Ninja to the healer's pavilion, okay?"

The Daimyo, Leo, and I all nodded our consent. Leo lifted me bridal style, and after picking up his son, the Daimyo teleported us to the infirmary.

Raph's POV

I was pacing around the lair, debating what I should be doing. I really couldn't just sit back with Leo and Dani gone, it just wasn't happening.

Shouldn't they be back by now?

Don was in his lab with LH, and Mikey was making Sensei tea.

I turned to Master Splinter, "Sensei, shouldn't they be home by now? I mean, Leo was just supposed ta grab D and go."

Splinter shook his head, "I truly do not know, my son. And this troubles me to no end." He looked really upset, even more than when Shredder had Dani. "I fear your sister will react to her latest kidnapping, and that would mean Leonardo would defend her."

My eyes widened. I hadn't even thought of that! Damn it, if Dani started a fight because she was pissed off, and Leo saw, he would jump in to protect her…

And it would be the Ultimate Daimyo and Ninja against Leo and Dani. Gulp.

I rubbed the back of my neck, "We shoulda gone after them. I feel so useless here."

Master Splinter nodded, "I know it is hard, but we have no choice." He then took the tea from Mikey and walked into his room to meditate.

Mikey looked at me, "You know, Dani is still gonna be in danger when they get back."

I cocked my head in confusion and Mikey explained, "Well, her fa- I mean Tal is still after her, right?" he flinched as I growled. Damn Tal… I hadn't forgotten my promise to kill that son of a bitch. His demise was just delayed.

"I know what you mean, Mikey" Don said, coming out of his lab and walking towards us. "We still have him to worry about, and Dani and Leo aren't gonna get a rest when they come home."

"Unless we go after Tal now." I smiled at my little bros, who dropped their jaws and stared at me.

"Think about it" I continued, "Fearless and the kid don't need to be worrying about Tal the second they get home from the Battle Nexus. So, why can't we relieve some of their worry?"

Don and Mike looked at each other for a moment, then they both turned and grinned at me, saying, "We're in."

Leo's POV

I swear, if the Daimyo glares at my baby one more time, I'll go ballistic.

We were in the healer's pavilion, me holding Dani, who had calmed down some. The healer had used some special magic spell to take away her pain, so she just had a few bruises and cuts, but her ribs and arm were fixed.

One worry down, I lost track of how many to go.

The Ultimate Ninja was still critical, but would survive. Dani hadn't hit anything important, she had only knocked him unconscious and caused him to bleed out. She seemed extremely relieved about that, despite her hatred of the U.N., because the only person she had ever really wanted dead was the Shredder. She wasn't naturally violent, and didn't enjoy harming others.

But as she had said, she'd do whatever it took to protect her family. That's my girl.

I looked at the Daimyo, hovering over his son, "Daimyo, would you please not blame the innocent eleven-year-old child you kidnapped for the Ultimate Ninja's condition?"

The Daimyo turned to us, "Leonardo, I just cannot believe that my son would try to harm her. I cannot believe that any more than I can that the girl stabbed him."

Dani sighed as she said, "Daimyo, I AM sorry for hurting your son, but let's not forget one very important detail. You two kidnapped me, then he attacked me for no reason."

Daimyo responded, "Well, this does not change things. You are still staying here. You are in too much danger on Earth."

That's when I stepped in, "Then I demand to stay with her, as supervision. I will not leave her here alone. Either she comes with me or I stay here, but we won't be separated, especially in light of what has happened."

Dani grinned at me sweetly as I wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders. I wasn't going to let them keep her here without any comfort or protection. She needed me, and the Daimyo wasn't gonna stop me from being with her.

Daimyo looked between the two of us before nodding, "Very well. Leonardo, you may stay with Danielle for now."

He turned to Usagi, but Usagi placed a hand up, "I wish to remain as well. My friends could use my help, and I won't leave them."

Daimyo smiled, "Then you three may head outside. There is a breakfast feast waiting for you in the dining hall."

With that, we walked out the door, my grip on Dani firm as Usagi trailed behind me.

Dani and Leo: MICHAELANGEO, DONATELLO, AND RAPHAEL HAMATO!
