So I know if you love it or hate it…
Anyway, thanks for reviewing and reading my story!
They both stood there, eyes locked.
Blue glared at Green, neither of them moving.
Shit, she thought, why did he have to come in? Five more minutes and she would have been gone.
"I will ask you again, what are you doing?" Her older brother said, leaning in the doorway.
"Nothing" She responded, knowing he wouldn't except that
"Right….and I am a fairy princess" Raph said back. What is she doing? He thought, does this have to do with the elite attack?
"You might look good in tights" Jasmine replied, trying to avoid the answers he wanted to hear
"What did the Elite want with you?" The male turtle asked, ignoring the comment
"Bait for you guys" She said, sticking to her original story
"That's a lie" He countered
"How do you know? You weren't there" She said, defensively
"How did you escape the Elite?" He said, with a sigh.
"I already told you that Raph" She replied, setting her bag down
"Who's Tori?" Raph asked, looking to her reaction
She froze, how did he know of her?
"What is this twenty questions? Just let me pack in peace" She said angrily, putting the bag on her shoulder. She moved towards the door only to be blocked by Raph.
"Let me through" Jasmine growled, trying not to break down and cry at the mention of her name
"Look, I can go out there and announce that you are leaving. You and I both know that you will not leave the lair, if I do that. So answer some of my questions and I will let you go" Raph said, his green eyes looking at her
"Fine, but I never knew you could be so reasonable" She replied, smirking, going to sit on the bed
"I can be if I want to" He said, coming from his place in the doorway to the chair by her bed
"Okay, let's get this over with" She said, signaling him to start with the questions
"I only have three questions" Raph replied
"Okay, then you let me leave?" Jasmine asked, as gently as possible
"Yes" He said, though that's the opposite he wanted to do.
"Question number one then" She said, looking to her brother
"What did the Elite want with you? And I want the truth not the same I was bait for you guys story" He said, leaning in to hear the answer
"Lets just say the Shredder and I go back" She replied, trying not to tell him to much
"Really?" He said, surprise in his voice
"Since I was seven years old" She said, knowing it was before then
"Enemies or family?" Raph asked, really hoping she said the first
She looked at him and burst out laughing. "Enemies, why would I be friends with Shred head?"
"Why are you enemies?" He asked, curios
"Foiled some of his plans, same as you guys" Jasmine replied, knowing it was more than that
"And I thought we were special" He muttered
"Question number two would be?" The yellow banded turtle asked, wanting to end the conversation
"In a hurry are we?" Raph asked, an eye ridged raised
"Yes, I need to leave soon" She said, knowing what his next question would be
"Okay, why are you leaving? I mean is it us or…" He began to say, before being cut off
"It's not you guys; if I could I would stay here forever." She said, her eyes staring at the ground
"Then why? Why leave in the middle of the night and make us think we did something wrong?" Raph said, anger and emotion filling his voice as he stared at her
"I love it here. Playing with Mikey, talking with Don, sparing with you, and talking with Leo. There is no where else I want to be. That's why…" She said, her voice low
"Why what?" Raph asked, trying to meet her eyes
"That's why, even if it breaks my heart and makes you hate me, I must leave. I will not put you guys in danger, not when I live." Jasmine replied, looking straight into his eyes. Her blue eyes showed protectiveness and fear.
"We could never hate you, you know that?" He said, trying to reassure her with the truth
"Yes, but I won't let you be hurt" She said, letting out a sigh
"We can take care of ourselves" He said, knowing it was a fact
"Still, I won't let you become a target because of me…not again" She replied, turning her gaze to her bag
"What do you mean a target because of you? And what do you mean not again?" Raph asked, the question coming out with concern in his voice
"I thought you said just three questions?" She asked, teasing him, her eyes showing a small sparkle in them
"Sorry, it's just I am concerned" He said, chuckling
"Just like a big brother should" Jasmine replied, flashing him a smile
"So explain to your big brother why being us would make us a target?" He said, returning the smile
"He, the Shredder, wanted me to join the foot and I almost said yes" She said, the spark in her eyes gone
"YOU ALMOST BECAME PART OF THE FOOT!" Raph yelled, in shock
"Shut up, you'll wake them up!" She hissed, knowing that her whole plan could come down if they did
"Really, you said yes?" He said, still in shock. She had almost been part of the foot, he thought, could she be trusted?
"Almost, only because they were threatening…" She drifted off
"Who was it?" He asked
"Tori, they were threatening her" Jasmine said, tears coming to her eyes
"Tori?" He said, wanting to know who she was
"My sister" She said, letting tears coming from her eyes
"You have a sister?" He said, going over to her
"Yes, I did" She said, the tears flowing down her cheeks
"What do you mean did?" Raph said, grabbing her hand
"Saki said that if I didn't join him, he would kill her. She found out, and wouldn't let me sacrifice myself for her. We promised each other that we would never be separated; we would stay together and watch each others backs. He found us and killed her…." She said, before bursting into sobs
"Come here" He said, pulling her into a hug. He let her cry, as what she had just said swirled through his head. If he lost a brother, he would go crazy. The guilt, sorrow, and anger would never leave him. She is strong, to seem like she didn't have a care in the world on the outside and to be bleeding on the inside.
Tearing him from his thoughts was her jerking from his hug.
"That's why I saved you, because of her. That's also why I won't put you guys in danger, not now and not ever" She said, her eyes fiery although there were still tears coming from them
"We can protect you, make sure that the bastard never gets near you again" He said, anger in his voice
"He's never going to stop, not while I am alive" She said
"Why?" He asked, his anger rising.
"Because he thought he was invincible and could have anything he wanted, it was his to take. When I didn't join him, it disgraced him and so he swore to kill me" She replied, her words coming out like poison
"But…" He started to say
"I must go before he finds me" She said, grabbing her bag
"Here take this" Raph said handing her a shell cell
"What?" She said looking at it
"It so that if you need us, you can call us. It doesn't have a tracking device in it, thought you would want it that way" He replied, giving her a smile
"Thank you so much" She said, giving him a hug
"Hey that's what siblings do" He said
"Do me a favor and keep an eye on them for me" Jasmine said, with seriousness in her voice
"Who?" He said, though he knew the answer
"You know who I am talking about. Make sure that Leo doesn't fall off another building…." She started to say
"He fell of a building?" Raph said, with a smirk
"Yes, also make sure that Don doesn't blow himself up or Mikey doesn't get killed or beat up" She said quickly
"Okay, but I can't guarantee the last one" He replied
She looked at him with a gaze that said I'll kick your ass if you do.
"Fine, no beating up Mikey. Do something for me though?" He said, with a smile
"What would that be?" She said, an eye ridge raised
"Come back for Christmas" He said, hoping she would say yes
"That's three months away" She said, with uncertainty
"Perfect time to visit, plus we will all be really missing you by then" Raph said, with a grin
"I will" She said
"Promise?" He said, knowing it was childish to do so
"I promise that I will be here for Christmas" She said, giving him a smile
"See you soon then" He said, as they walked to the lair door
"Put this on my pillow" She said, giving him an envelope. On the front in said, To You All in cursive
"I am guessing this is not the truth" He said, taking it from her
"No, please don't tell them" She said
"Of course, goodbye" He said, not wanting to let her go
"Goodbye" She said and then she was gone.
He stood there, waiting for her to reappear and say "Gotcha!"
No such thing happened, and he knew she wasn't coming back.
He walked back to her room, placing the envelope on her pillow. It was another reminder, that she was gone. He took on last look at the room before turning out the light, plunging the room into darkness. The room was dark, just like he knew the next three months were going to be without her.
With out Jasmine, his sister.
There she is, the Elite member thought, looking at a small shadow jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
My life line.
My way back into Master's favor.
My honor.
He jumped to follow her, his mind filled with the thoughts of the kill he was about to make.
Thanks for Reviewing!
