Chapter 28
Donatello woke in the morning and groaned. Why did his muscles hurt so much? He wondered as his eyes snapped open, memory crashing into him. He sat up and looked at the empty bed. He looked around wondering if he had dreamt the whole thing until he saw the bruises that wrapped around his wrists and the scratches that covered his arms and the deeper ones that had broken skin down his sides. He looked down at himself, he was still naked.
He closed his eyes and ran his hands over his face. He wasn't sure what he had been expecting of last night, hadn't really known what he had wanted from her. He supposed he had expected a certain reaction, but he definitely hadn't expected the events that had transpired to happen. He felt a wave of guilt crash into him, but at the same time he knew he had nothing to feel guilty about. She had made him stay true to the unspoken 'don't touch' rule. It wasn't his fault no one had told her not to touch. And had she touched, did so much more than touch. He stumbled to the bathroom turning on a cold shower. He needed to wake up and get his pleasure filled brain working again.
He stepped out of the shower determined to talk with his brothers. There was no way he was going another night without being able to touch her. Even if what she had done to him had been rather enjoyable. He knew that if they agreed to touch then it would mean they would all get to touch. He rolled the thought around in his head. He didn't want to share, but he would rather share than go through life without her. He walked over to the bed studying the bed post she had tied him to. There wasn't even a split in the wood. He glared at the post hitting it open-handed with all of his strength. His hand bounced painfully off the wood. He looked at the post impressed. He picked up the rolled up pillowcase she had used to gag him. He wondered how she would like to play bottom. He smiled to himself as he imagined trying her up to the bed. The no touch rule could be fun under the right circumstances. He decided as he grabbed his jeans and pulled a shirt over his head. He strode to the door stopping before he turned the handle. He looked at himself in the mirror. The scratches and bruises were plain to see. He stomped back to the closet and looked for a hoodie, which he didn't have. Katherine must have decided to do laundry. He thought to himself as he looked in the clothes hamper.
He frowned. He had never really been that heavy of a sleeper, but she had managed to slip out and grab all of his laundry. She must have really wore him out. Hell, he knew she had worn him out. If he ever did have sex with her, she'd probably kill him.
He looked at himself in the mirror and tried to get rid of the stupid satisfied grin he had on his face. He walked over to the window and opened it a crack. His room smelled like sex.
He opened the door of his room looking down the hall hoping to sneak into Michelangelo's room and grab a hoodie, then corral all of his brothers into the library for a family meeting.
He managed to get into Michelangelo's room and snag a hoodie without anyone seeing him. He closed the door behind him and ran right into Katherine. She was holding a laundry basket on her hip.
He thought seeing her would be embarrassing, instead possessive lust filled him.
"Sleep well?" She asked him.
He quirked his lips. "You saw to that didn't you?" He said as he took the basket from her hands. He dropped it to the ground and pushed her against the wall. He held her arms above her head and crushed her between his body and the wall. "I think next time I may want to try top." He growled in her ear as he claimed her lips in a punishing kiss.
His head rose at the sound of a creaking floorboard. He looked over to see April looking at him in surprise. He stepped back letting Katherine go. He whispered in her ear that he was going to have a chat with his brothers.
"Morning April." He tossed over his shoulder as he headed down the hallway and down the stairs to find his brothers.
Katherine blinked after Donatello's retreating back. She tipped her head to the side in thought. "Hello April, sleep well?" She asked the older woman.
"Yes thank you." April said giving her a once over.
"I didn't realize that you and Donny were...I thought you were with Raph." April said in a confused voice.
Katherine gave a wavering smile. Great how was she supposed to explain this one? "I'm..." She began as Michelangelo strode down the hall. "Hey Kitten, you did laundry that's great. I couldn't find one of my hoodies, you know the dark blue one."
Katherine frowned. "Donatello was wearing it, I took all of his clothes that needed to be washed from his room this morning."
Michelangelo perked up, then chuckled to himself. "That's right." He said pressing against her. "It's my turn tonight isn't it." He said touching her chin. He tipped her lips up so they met his. She closed her eyes as she enjoyed the sensation of him kissing her. "See you in a bit Kitten." He said as he pulled away. "Leo says Donny wants to have a chat. I'll just take this one." He reached down and grabbed an orange hoodie that she was pretty sure was Raphael's.
"Oh, hey April!" Michelangelo waved as he strode back down the hall and down the stairs.
She looked at April whose mouth was hanging open. "I..." She began, a blush rising up her cheeks.
"Hey Kitten what the hell is Mikey doin wearing my hoodie?" Raphael asked as he took the stairs two at a time. "Mikey says you gave it to him." He growled.
Katherine sighed. "I'm trying to get laundry done Raphael. There are 5 adults plus two children, you will just have to share your clothes until I get all of the loads done, okay?" She said looking at him.
He frowned down at her. "You okay Kitten you're looking a little flushed?" Raphael questioned stepping into her.
"I'm fine." She said to him.
"Kitten, I worry about you." He said tipping her head up. He looked at her, his face serious. She touched his cheek. "I am fine." She said as she leaned into the kiss he gave her. The scent of musk and the forest at night swirled around her. Of the four brothers it was his scent that smelled to her, the most intoxicating.
She was able to pull away from his embrace. "Only because you told Mikey he could wear my hoodie, I won't pummel him into little bitty bits. But if you want to wear any of my clothes Kitten you go ahead." He said to her voice low and gravely. Things within her belly tightened with lust.
Raphael let go of her chin. "Hey April, Casey around?" Raphael asked. "We're havin' a little chat, but in a bit, we want you and Case in the library so we can talk about what has been goin' on." Raphael said as he headed back the way he had come.
April looked at her.
Katherine opened her mouth. "It's...well...Oh no." She began as Leonardo strode down the hall.
"What's this I hear about you doing all of the laundry?" He growled at her. "Donny told you that you shouldn't be moving around as much as you are." His dark brown almost black angry eyes bored into hers.
"Leonardo..." She began as he stepped into her.
"You have first degree burns covering most of your calves, you have been shot, not to mention the fact that a little over two months ago Raphael put his sai through your liver." He growled down at her.
She narrowed her eyes at him. The problem was with Leonardo was, she knew she couldn't give him any ground. With Leonardo if she backed down he would think he won, which would mean he would think he could order her around like he did his brothers. And as much as she loved him, he was the one who she would always clash against and fight with the most. He was probably also the only one who she may let dominate her in the bedroom, well possibly Donatello as well.
Lust coursed through her at the thought of him dominating her. Leonardo looked at her in shock as she let him see the lust in her eyes. He looked at her an answering lust rising up in his eyes. "I am fine." She growled at him.
"You aren't a doctor." He growled at her as he took a threatening step towards her. She took an answering step back.
"Neither is Donatello." She pointed out as she took another step back in reaction to his step towards her. She hit the wall as her body was crushed between it and the hardness of his plastron.
Leonardo growled low in his throat. She smiled at him baring her teeth. He claimed her mouth in a rough kiss. She groaned as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
He broke away from her lips. "Why do you always defy me?" He growled at her, anger and lust rolling through his eyes.
"Because I won't be dominated by you Leonardo." She said to him.
He drew back. "Please take it easy Kitten." He whispered to her.
She laughed. "All you had to do was ask Leonardo." She said to him. He looked at her in shock and then smiled at her. "I like it when you smile." She said to him, gently touching the almost healed bruise on his cheek. He looked down at her arm which was a greenish yellow. She looked into his eyes and kissed him again. This time it was a sweet kiss, instead of a lust filled angry kiss. Both were wonderful.
"I love you Katherine." He said to her.
"I love you too Leonardo." She said as he pulled away.
Leonardo looked over at April as if just noticing her. "Oh, hey April are you helping Kitten with laundry?" he asked her.
"What?" April said blankly.
"Thanks April." Leonardo said with a wave.
"Just because I'm a woman, it does not mean I have to do laundry Leo!" April angrily shouted down the stairs.
April turned her gaze towards her. "Um, it's complicated." She squeaked as April grabbed her and pulled her into her room.
"When you said you loved them I didn't really think you meant you loved all of them in that way. Are you dating all of them or do they not realize they are all kissing you?" April asked her in frustration.
"Hey babe, you should see this place." Casey said walking in with a bag of popcorn.
"Casey. Out. Now!" April said as she pushed him from the room closing the door behind him.
"They know I am in love with all of them, and they are trying hard not to think of me kissing the other brothers, but they know that they are all dating me." Katherine said softly.
April rubbed her temples. "You seem really nice..." April began.
"April stop." Katherine said as she walked over to the bed and sat down. "Do you not think I haven't ran this through my head over and over again? I should be able to pick one. Who do I love more? I ask myself that every minute of every day and I do not have an answer. I love them all with everything that I am and I don't think that it is going to change. They want me to pick between them. That is why I am dating all of them." She shook her head. "Michelangelo and Donatello are both willing to share, but as you can imagine Leonardo and Raphael are not very open to the idea."
"That look Donatello gave me did not say I am sharing, the look he gave me said MINE. I have never seen Donatello look like that." April said angrily.
Katherine looked at her. "It's complicated." She said with a shrug. She slid off the bed. "Listen April, I know you are worried about them. I know the situation isn't...typical or normal, but...neither are they."
"Katherine," April began desperately. "I know the girls say that you are their mother and that Raphael and Leonardo are their fathers, but...You don't really believe that do you? Just because they say that, it doesn't mean that you have to be with all of them." April said with a shake of her head.
Katherine looked into Aprils eyes. "They aren't my daughters." She said seriously. "I know they aren't."
"But then...how do you know?" April asked in worry.
"Because I know." She said softly as sadness threatened to overwhelm her.
"So then why...?" April began.
Katherine's head shot up. "Sorry April I've got to go. I thing are going to go all to hell in the library." She said as she opened the door and ran down the hall, past a surprised Casey and through a secret door that led to the library.
Donatello looked at his brothers and swallowed. How was he going to bring this up? He wondered. He blew out a breath.
"Donny is Katherine okay?" Leonardo asked in concern.
Donatello blinked in surprise. "She's fine." He said with a frown, she was more than fine.
"Donatello, are you sure?" Leonardo insisted his eyes flicking to Raphael.
"Yes Leo, Katherine is as well as can be expected, considering." He said with a shrug. "Before we get into things with Casey and April I just wanted to..." He paused. "I want to touch her." He said softly to his brothers.
His brothers looked at him in shock. "Donny you didn't." Raphael growled at him.
"No Raph, I didn't." Donatello said crossing his arms over his chest.
Leonardo looked at him. "I told Katherine that it wouldn't be long before she had to choose between us." Leonardo said to him.
Donatello glared at his older brother. "I don't want her to choose between us." Donatello said to his brothers. "Don't get me wrong, if she came up to me and told me I was it, that I was the one, I wouldn't turn her down, but I don't know when she is going to be able to choose, which means we have to decide what the hell we are doing." He said to his brothers angrily.
Michelangelo was looking at him strangely. "Well you know where I stand." Michelangelo said walking over to him. "But I am curious on where you managed to get these." Michelangelo said as he pulled up the sleeve of his hoodie exposing his bruised wrist. He tried to pull away but Michelangelo grabbed at his other wrist. He winced in pain.
Leonardo frowned. "Donny what happened?" He asked in concern. A blush flooded his face. He tried to stop it but he couldn't.
Leonardo's eyes narrowed. "Why are you blushing Donny?" He growled. "What did you do?"
"Nothing." He said to his brothers.
"Now why would Kitten tie you up Donny?" Michelangelo asked him.
Leonardo's eyes widened.
Raphael growled. "What did you do to her Donny, that she had to tie you up?"
Michelangelo peered at him, then broke into laughter. "She didn't." Michelangelo said to him. "She did."
"She did what?" Raphael asked angrily.
Michelangelo peered at him and his face grew serious. "Donny did this have to do with what April said at dinner?" His eyes slid away from his baby brother's inquiring gaze. "Humph. Figures." Michelangelo said nodding his head.
"What did April say, what is going on Mikey?" Leonardo asked as he leaned against the desk crossing his arms over his chest.
"Don't you remember Leo?" Michelangelo asked quietly. "April was talking about us being compatible with humans, and she was shocked that Katherine was okay with the thought of being with us in a sexual way that would obviously produce kids. Of course she managed to stop what she was going to say before she said it, but the implication was still there. The question would then of course be, would Katherine be okay with us? We aren't human, compatible doesn't mean human, right Donny?" Michelangelo asked him.
Donatello gave a curt nod. "So Donny here keeps mulling this question around in his head. Would she accept the fact that we aren't human beneath our pants? After all, what would be the point of fighting over someone who is going to freak out and run away right? So Donny gets this idea that he's going to treat this like an experiment. He has Kitten alone in the room, it is the perfect opportunity and he is the perfect one who can do the test because he thinks he can just shut his emotions off and use his brain to logically work through it. How am I doing so far Donny?" Michelangelo asked him.
"Something like that." He said turning his head away, a blush riding up his cheeks.
"How do you even start an experiment like that Donny? Just drop trow and hope she doesn't run away?" Raphael asked him.
Michelangelo laughed. "That's exactly what he did."
They were all silent for a moment. Raphael grabbed the bridge of his beak between his eyes. "Okay I want to know, what did she do, scared, repulsed, what? She tied you to the bed Donny."
"Wait for it." Michelangelo said with glee.
"She didn't care." Donatello said softly.
"But Kitten is Kitten, and Donny is Donny, so even if she stold him she didn't care, there would always be some part of Donny that would wonder if she was really just saying that to not hurt his feelings. So she has to prove to him that she doesn't care, but Donny can't touch her, but no one said she couldn't touch him." Michelangelo said with a smile. "So Kitten ties Donny to the bed so he won't touch her." Michelangelo looked at his wrists. "You put up a fight though didn't you? What did she do to you that you struggled so much Donny?" Michelangelo asked him.
Donatello looked at him. "You really want to know Mikey?" He asked his brother.
Michelangelo shrugged and smiled. Michelangelo looked at his brothers. "I vote to lift the no touching ban."
Leonardo strode angrily up to Donatello who flinched at the look in his brother's eyes. "Don't you dare touch him Leonardo." Katherine said from the leather chair behind the desk.
"How long have you been sitting there, and how did you get in here!" Leonardo turned around and marched over, glaring at her from across the desk. "Never mind, I don't care. If you want Donny just choose Donny. You don't have to play with us!" He yelled at her.
She closed her eyes. "Fine." She opened her eyes, looking at Leonardo who looked at her in shock. "You choose"
"What!" He asked her.
"Well since you seem to think it is so easy, you choose for me." She said standing up. "Who gets me Leonardo and whose hearts are you going to break."
"This isn't a game!" Leonardo yelled at her.
"I know that!" She said angrily. Sadness leaked into her voice and eyes as she softly said, "I know." She shook her head the sadness vanishing from her eyes as if it had never been there. Donatello wondered then if he had only imagined it.
"I'm being selfish, I'm sorry. I can't expect you to sit around and wait until I finally choose. I can't hurt any of you like this anymore." She said standing up, her face composed and devoid of all emotion.
Donatello looked at her face as he understood what she was saying. "No." He said shaking his head. "You don't get to just break up with us Katherine." He said angrily, a lump forming in his throat making it so that he could barely talk let alone breathe.
"Donatello, all I am doing is hurting you and your brothers." She insisted.
"You think it will hurt us less if you just walk away?" He said to her.
"Of course it won't hurt less, but maybe you will be able to find someone..." She began as Raphael grabbed her wrist angrily.
"I made you a promise Kitten," Raphael growled. "And I ain't breakin it. I promised not to let anything happen to you, and I'm going to keep that promise, or die tryin'. But," He began heatedly. "You tell me you don't love me and I will let you walk away, AFTER this is done."
"Raphael..." She began.
"Say it!" He yelled at her.
"I.." She snapped her mouth shut as if she couldn't physically say the words which would have been a lie; words which would have allowed Raphael to let her walk away. She clenched her teeth together in anger, tears glittered on dark lashes.
"You need more time, then fine, we'll give you more time." Raphael said desperation leaking into his angry voice. "As long as you love me I ain't letting you go, understand?" Raphael growled.
Katherine looked at Raphael but her gaze slid away from him to look at Michelangelo.
"You're stuck with us Kitten." Michelangelo said with a shrug as he walked over to her and pulled her from Raphael's hold.
Her gaze went to Donatello. "Raph's right." Donatello said as he looked at Leonardo. His eyes slid to his oldest brother whose face was shuttered and cold.
She looked over at Leonardo pulling out of Michelangelo's grasp. Leonardo looked away.
She crawled on the desk and slid towards him. "Don't..." He began before she covered his lips with her finger.
Leonardo struggled. Donatello watched as his brother tried to make himself pull away, and yet couldn't. She wrapped him in her arms.
"Why don't you just pick Raph." Leonardo whispered. "I know you love him the most, just pick him, let the rest of us go Katherine." He whispered.
"Then go Leonardo. Please go. Take the girls, take your brothers and go." She whispered to him. Leonardo looked at her in shock. He shook his head vehemently. "Please Leonardo. My life is not worth that of you and your brothers. I won't have anyone die trying to protect me." She whispered miserably. "You are the only one who can make them go, so please go." She pulled back but Leonardo clutched her to him.
"No." He said his voice breaking. He looked into her eyes. "I won't let you just give up." He growled at her.
"I'm not giving up. I am accepting my fate Leonardo." She said softly.
"You told me," Donatello began angrily, tears that were threatening blinked hastily away. "That you choose your fate, that you choose, not anyone else."
"No Donatello, I said that even if I cannot choose my fate I will control it, and I am. I am protecting those I love by getting them away from me and out of harm's way so that I can deal with whatever comes by myself."
A growl started low in Leonardo's throat. "No! Raph's right. You don't get to walk away from us."
"Leonardo..." She said desperately.
"No. I love you too much to just let you give up. We are going to protect you." Leonardo insisted.
Michelangelo looked at Katherine intently as if he were thinking about something. "That's why you won't choose, isn't it Kitten?" Katherine looked at Michelangelo. "You don't think you are going to live through this, so there would be no point in choosing if you are just going to die anyway."
"Michelangelo." She said letting out a defeated breath. "I'm sorry I'm being selfish. I just want to be with the men I love, for as long as I can." She whispered. "I'm just looking at this logically. I can't win. I've died so many times, what makes this time any different from all of my other lives?" She asked reasonably.
Michelangelo contemplated her silently. "You have us." Michelangelo said as he pulled her out of Leonardo's arms and pulled her into a crushing embrace. "You don't get to give up. You promise me that you will fight."
Katherine was silent a moment before she nodded. "I will fight against my fate." She whispered.
"You had better." Michelangelo growled. Michelangelo looked at his brothers seriously. "I want to be able to touch her."
Katherine's eyes widened in shock. Donatello nodded his agreement.
Raphael's gaze narrowed. "Choice between touching you and not, but knowing that if I touch you I have to let them touch you." He growled as he strode over to her pulling her from Michelangelo's arms. "I don't even want to know what the hell you did to Donny." He took her chin between two fingers. "But I want to be able to have my chance to make you scream out my name." He said as he hauled her into his arms and kissed her roughly.
Leonardo strode over and pulled her from Raphael's arms. Leonardo enfolded her in his arms. "I want to be the one who is first in your heart Katherine, but if it takes all of us to keep you alive, then fine, we will all date you until this is over, then you choose." He looked at Michelangelo. "Don't touch her, and you don't touch him, got it?" He said to her.
Katherine nodded. "We had better let Casey and April in and let them know what is going on, they already think you guys have gone insane." She said softly.
"Yeah, April probably thinks you've put us under a spell or something." Michelangelo said with a quirk of his lips. "Were you a witch in a former life Kitten?" He asked playfully.
Katherine went chalk white. The laughter and smile left Michelangelo's face as he looked at her. Donatello realized then that he and Leonardo hadn't actually filled Michelangelo in about Kathlynn. He knew that Katherine had been burned, but they hadn't told him about the fact that Kathlynn had been burned alive at the stake for being a witch.
Leonardo pulled Katherine closer, but she was pushing him away, a worried glance going to Raphael. Raphael didn't know what had happened to Katherine. He didn't know about her burns, he believed Donatello was just changing the dressing on her arm and that the reason she had been on oxygen was for shock.
Raphael had gone grey. He sat down hard in the leather chair at the desk. Katherine knelt in front of him. "Don't remember Raphael, please don't."
"I remember you screaming as you burned." He whispered. "That demon laughing." Raphael closed his eyes in agony. His eyes snapped open. "Let me see your legs Katherine." He demanded.
"Raphael." She begged him.
"Now!" He snapped.
Katherine was wearing hip hugging skin tight pink sweats that flared from the knee down. She pulled up one leg exposing her bandage wrapped calf. Raphael pulled up the other one. He grimly looked at her. "You began to burn?" He asked voice shaking.
She pulled the legs of her pants down. "I began to burn as Kathlynn began to burn, yes. My burns are not serious Raphael, and you were not burned for which I am grateful."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Raphael whispered.
"Because I do not want you to remember something so horrible." She said to him. "No one should have to see that, no one should have to remember that."
Raphael pulled her into his lap. "I am so sorry." He whispered pulling her close. "You shouldn't have to remember something like that. Why, why are these dreams happening, who wants you dead Katherine?" He asked her.
Katherine pursed her lips. "Let Casey and April in, it will be easier to explain everything only once." She said grimly.
Michelangelo glumly walked to the door opening it. April was lifting her hand to the door as if she were going to knock.
"Come in April, Casey." Donatello said to them.
April looked at Katherine who was wrapped in Raphael's arms. Raphael clutched Katherine tighter. April frowned.
"Where are the girls?" Casey asked.
"Asleep. They sleep during the day and are awake all night. They tried to stay awake once during the day and it didn't work out so well." Donatello told him with a shrug.
April crossed her arms. "Now will someone please tell me what is going on?"
They all looked at each other. Where did they even begin?
"I have been having nightmares, or rather, I have been experiencing memories of past lives." Katherine began. "It is my belief that I am being warned that my life is in danger." She said bluntly. 'Something hunts me, a demon I believe, but he is not the only one. Unfortunately I do not know who or what the other thing is." Katherine said. Stunned silence greeted Katherine's words.
"I need to sit down." April said taking a seat on a wing chair.
"It is my belief Raphael, that the nightmares were not intended to harm me, they were a warning, but," She looked at her hand. "Whatever is happening to me, whatever power I possess made the dreams real because the memory was real. I do not believe I will have any more of these nightmares, but Leonardo wants one of you to sleep with me anyway, just to make sure."
Raphael nodded. Katherine wrapped her arms around Raphael's neck. She leaned her cheek against his head.
"Okay." Raphael said. "So why is there a demon trying to kill you?" He asked.
Katherine shook her head. "I don't know. The demon confronts me head on trying to kill me personally, but whatever else is out there trying to kill me, it kills me with accidents and freak twists of chance." Katherine frowned. "But what if whatever else that is trying to kill me is getting impatient? I am old. Compared to how old my other incarnations were I'm practically..." Katherine stopped and paled. 'One day, one day soon, he will want you.' That is what the demon whispered through the smoke. I don't think he thought that I could hear him, but I did." She whispered.
She pulled herself from Raphael's arms and began to pace her mind working furiously. "Who is He? And why would He want me?" She whispered to herself. She shook her head. "Strange things have begun happening since I arrived here. How many times have I nearly been killed?" SHe asked as she began ticking points off on her fingers. "The Red Dragon's bullet, Raphael's sai, the car on Halloween, the black ice, the gas station..." She paused in thought.
"What about the thugs in the park?" Raphael asked.
Katherine frowned. "It was rather random, they didn't seem to want anything, but they seemed interested in attacking you." Katherine said to him.
Raphael shook his head. "One was interested in me, the other was interested in you. It felt like they were interested in disabling me, but...The guy picked you up by the throat, that would have taken an enormous amount of strength now that I think about it, and that guy didn't look big enough to do it, and he had a knife Kitten. I saw it."
Katherine paled. "I didn't know." She said softly.
Leonardo looked at her. "Most of the attacks have happened while you have been outside. I don't want you leaving the house anymore." Leonardo ordered. He straightened from where he was leaning against the desk and walked over to her. She glared at him. Leonardo closed his eyes. "Please don't leave the house anymore, at least until we can figure that out, okay?" He asked her gently as he reached out and brushed her cheek with his thumb.
"Look, he can be taught." She said with a smile. Her face turned serious and she nodded leaning into Leonardo. His arms went around her.
Leonardo looked at Casey and April. "We don't have the right to ask you to put yourselves in danger for us and for Katherine, but if you can help us protect her, and the two little girls sleeping upstairs..."
"Leo just shut it bro." Casey said to him. "We always got your backs, no matter what. Right April?"
April nodded her agreement. "Hey Leo?" April said to him.
"Yeah April?" Leonardo asked.
"Laundry needs to go into the dryer." She told him with a smile and folding her arms over her chest. Leonardo looked at her in surprise. "You guys have been getting lazy, making Katherine do all the housework and laundry and cooking. Me and Katherine are going to have a little girl time." She said as she stood. "Have fun." She said as Katherine pulled herself out of Leonardo's arms.
Katherine grinned.
"Chick flick?" April asked her as she took Katherine's arm leading her from the library.
Casey looked after the two of them in concern. "I'm kinda scared about those two being alone together." Casey said with a frown.
"What, you scared April's going to say bad things about you?" Raphael said with a laugh.
"Do you have any idea what happens when chicks get together?" Casey asked him.
"So what they talk, they giggle..." Raphael said with a shrug.
"Talk about how much guys suck and I end up sleeping on the couch. You guys got more to worry about than me though." Casey said with a smile. "Katherine's got 4 of you to complain about, oh and April's known you guys for 10 years, and I am sure she's got some pretty embarrassing stories she could share." Casey said with a grin. "Actually that may be kinda funny." The brothers looked at each other. "Come on Raph, I could use a beer." Casey said as he dragged his older brother from the library.
Donatello looked at his remaining brothers.
