To the End of the Shinobis!
Chapter III: Worrying Splinter
By: Michelle
"Good morning beautiful!" Raphael kissed Venus on the cheek and she woke up.
Half asleep, she looked at the clock. It was 4:30. They didn't usually wake up for breakfast until 5:00. "What are you doing up so early?" She asked drowsily.
"I missed you." He told her.
She smiled at him. For a tuff guy, he could sure be sweetheart. He snuggled in next to her.
"Raph, if Splinter catches you in here..."
"I know and I don't care." He pulled Venus in his arms and they both fell back to sleep.

A few minutes later, Splinter woke up. He had a strange sense that something wasn't right. He got up and grabbed his walking stick and began to look around.
He looked in Leonardo and Donatello's room. Leonardo was sound asleep, but Donatello wasn't in there. He thought for a moment and then checked the lab. Sure enough, Donatello was asleep at his computer with his face pressed against the monitor. He chuckled to himself.
He then checked Raphael and Michaelangelo's room. Michaelangelo was asleep in his bed with piles of comics on a small night stand next to his bed. He looked at Raphael's bed and found it empty. He began to worry. Then, he figured Raphael snuck out and went to Casey's. He gently closed the door and walked to Venus' room.
He opened the door to her room and behold the sight in the bed. There was Venus and Raphael sleeping closely together. He walked to the side Raphael was on and yanked of the covers. They began to stirrup wondering what was going on.
Splinter took his walking stick and struck Raphael on the thigh. Raphael jumped up and grabbed on the red mark on his thigh.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?" Splinter snapped.
"NOTHING. What's your problem" Raphael snapped back.
Splinter struck Raphael again. "What's my problem? WHAT'S MY PROBLEM?" Venus looked at Splinter. She never saw him this angry at Raphael before. "I want to what you are doing in here. "
"Sleeping. What do you think?"
"What I think? You want to know what I think. I am the parent. I ask the questions." His blood began to boil. "I told the two of you not to share the same bed."
Venus jumped in, "But Splinter we were not doing anything. Raphael came in the room and laid next to me. Nothing more."
Splinter's anger quieted with her voice, but grew again when Raphael spoke.
"You know we are adults and can do what we want."
"This is true, but you are under my roof and therefore must obey my rules." He looked sternly at his son. "I do not want you in here between midnight and 5."
"Fine." Raphael rolled his eyes.
"Now go eat breakfast and begin your exercises. We'll finish this discussion later." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Raphael and Venus weren't the reason of his panic,

Dr. Quease and Wick worked all night in the lab. All Quease could think about was what Dragon Lord was planning.
"And now the final ingredient." Wick snickered. "There. The potion is done."
"Yes. Finally." Quease held the flask up in the air and looked at it.
*************************************************
Dragon Lord sat on throne awaiting for Dr. Quease and Wick to finish with the sleeping potion. Thoughts ran through his mind. Was this plan of his going to work? Will the Shinobis finally be destroyed? His head began to pound. He must know the future. He tried to clear his mind to see into the future, but it was of no use. It was a power he could not obtain, only one dragon did. Tashina.
He arose from his throne and stood in front of the enchanted glass that held him prisoner for so long. Tashina was still inside.
In Chinese, he began to chant, "Come Queen of Darkness. Let the world fear your power. Come. Come."
Suddenly, the mirror began to change; it became full of ripples. Slowly a hand reached out and then a dragon stepped out and stood in front of him. "Tashina." he whispered under his breath.
She had long, slightly curled black hair. Her eyes were that of a cat; they showed the wickedness in her soul. Her kimono dress was purple and red. She wore many pieces of gold and jade jewelry.
For a moment, the two dragons stood in front of each without a word between them. Then, she glared at him hard.
"Hello brother."
**********************************************
After the morning practice, Splinter talked to Raphael about the morning.
"I don't understand why you want to keep me and Venus apart." Raphael sighed. "I thought. I thought you were happy we are together."
"Raphael, I am. It's just ... you worry me sometimes."
"Why? You don't get on the others like this."
"I know Raphael. But, you are different from you brothers."
"That doesn't explain why you have been watching me like a hawk for the past few weeks."
"Raphael, I don't mean to be like a hawk. It's just that you are older and more mature. You are feeling things you never felt before. Your ready to experience new things. Between having raging hormones from being part human and having the instinct to mate." Splinter drew a deep breath. "I don't think you are acting responsibly."
"What do you mean not acting responsibly?"
"The two of you come home late at night. Venus as a new hickey every time I see her. I find the two of you laying in bed together."
Raphael looked at him and rolled his eyes. Why Splinter didn't trust him?
"Raphael, I'm afraid one thing will lead to another. And I'm not so sure the two of you will ready for things to come."
Raphael looked at Splinter hard and strong. "I ain't dumb. I know the consequences. I ain't gonna get her pregnant."
As Raphael's tone of voice was rising, a gentle voice was heard. "Sensei." It was Venus. "Can I speak with you.?"
Raphael calmed down as Venus walked in the room and sat next to him.
"Yes my child." Raphael figured it was time to leave, but Venus grabbed his hand wanting him to stay.
"I know we have been worrying you lately. I'm sorry for doing so, but I love Raphael and he loves me." She squeezed Raphael's hand. "I want to be with him."
"Venus, I have no doubts that the two of you are in love. I know you want each other. The point I'm trying to make is that the two of you are not married."
Raphael shook Venus' hand from him. The thought of marriage now made him panic. Venus felt it too. Splinter was right. They weren't ready.
Splinter continued. "I don't want you to rush your youth. The two of you are just starting a relationship. Let it develop more before you jump into anything else." Splinter took a deep breath. "Besides, it's best for you to slow down on your relationship."
Raphael looked at him with curiosity.
"I feel our enemies are planning an attack."
"Which enemies?"
"Dragon Lord and Dr. Quease."
