To the End of the Shinobis!
Chapter XIV: In Complete Silence

By: Michelle



Later that night.....

Michaelangelo poked his head out of his room. The coast is clear he thought. Leonardo was in the practice room. Raph and Venus were in her room. Donnie was at the computer. Splinter was meditating.

Michaelangelo quickly snuck into the kitchen. Mondo Gecko would be their any second. He had to hurry.

Michaelangelo began to crawl on the floor towards the lab where Donatello was at his computer. He had to get his radio equipment. He slowly reached out his hand to grab it when....

"Hey what's up?" The loud mouth lizard asked.

Michaelangelo flattened out on the floor, turned and signaled Gecko to be quiet. Donatello turned around and looked at the lizard standing about 15 feet away from him.

"Hey Gecko! Mike's in his room." Donatello said. Then, he turned around and focused on his computer again.

Michaelangelo grabbed his equipment and snuck back into the kitchen. Mondo Gecko looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.

In the kitchen, Michaelangelo stood up and brushed the dirt off his body.

"What were you doing?" Mondo Gecko questioned his friend.

"Shhh. I'll tell you in a few minutes." Michaelangelo whispered. "Come on. Let's go."

Katina laid on her bed and started studying her lessons. They all just seemed like a foreign language to her. Well, it was, but she just could not read it. Maybe its because she didn't want to learn it.

Her head began to pound. She was tired of studying. She threw her papers on the floor. It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair.

Kat looked at all the papers on her floor. Her father would be angry if he saw the mess. Of course, her father was always angry, especially with her. Out of all the dragons in the world, her father was the Dragon Lord.

Kat rolled off her bed and began to straighten up the papers. It was quiet in her room. Usually she had the TV on. She was lucky she even had that. It was always boring in her room.

Footsteps approached the door to her room. It was probably her father she thought. The door opened and in walked a dragon. She didn't even hear the door open or the footsteps. She was to busy grumbling to herself about the studies her father insisted she did.

"Kat!" She jumped at the voice and lightly screamed. She then turned around to find her sister holding a large sized object in her hands.

"Gees, Hana. You scared me."

"Shhh..." Hana notions to her as she hid the object under Kat's bed.

Two Rank soldiers rushed into the room. "Are you alright Princess Kat? Princess Hana?" The wo questioned as they looked around the room for possible intruders

"We're fine." Kat told them. "Hana just startled me."

"Yes Princess." They bowed and left the room.

"What are you doing in here? And what did you put under my bed?"

"I'll tell you in a second."

Hana poked her head out the door of her sister's room. No one in site.

Kat sighed. She hated the fact that her sister just welcomed herself in her room. Of course, it could be worse. It could have been Kira. At least She and Hana were closer in age. She was 18. Hana was 16. Kira was 5. Her father was so glad Kira was out of her terrible twos. Of course, only she and Hana recognized the troublesome threes, the fearsome fours, and the ferocious fives. Good thing it was Hana. She could handle a ditzy sister better than a spoiled rotten sister.

She was glad it was Hana was here though. At least they could talk about the Rank and stuff. That was always fun. Especially when they talk about the cute ones or the ones her father humiliated.

"OK." Hana closed the door and pulled the object from under Kat's bed. "Look what I got."

"You have a radio!" Kat exclaimed.

"Shhh! Kat. You know what will happen if father finds out."

**********************************************

Raphael and Venus peeked out the door. It was quiet. Michaelangelo had snuck out to do his radio show with Mondo Gecko. Leonardo was still practicing. Donatello was at the computer. Master Splinter was meditating.

Venus whispered to Raphael. "It's going to be hard for us to both sneak out."

"Yeah." Raphael whispered to her. "You go and I create a distraction."

"OK." She thought for a moment. "How are you going to create a distraction?"

"I'm gonna bug Leo."

Venus gave him a look.

"What?" He shrugged his shoulders. "Do you have a better idea?"

"No."

"OK." Raphael walked out the door to her room. "Wait a few minutes, then sneak out. Wait for me at my bike."

"OK." She replied. He then kissed her softly and left.

She watched him as he started to walk to the practice room. Hope this works she thought to herself.

She waited five minutes. Then, she put on her cape and snuck out the lair.

Meanwhile in the practice room....

Leonardo concentrated on his kata. He move gracefully and without a sound. He didn't even hear Raphael walk in. He was to busy focusing and feeling proud of himself. He seemed to be the only one interested in his Ninja studies from day one. Without ninjitsu, he didn't feel complete.

Just then, Leonardo's concentration was broken by the sound of Raphael lifting weights. Leonardo sighed. His brother always had to be the loudest one.

"Am I bothering you, Leo?" Raphael questioned sarcastically.

"Yes, you are." Leonardo grabbed the towel on the floor and wiped the sweat that was on his face. ""Why are you in here?"

"I'm lifting weights."

"Do you have to do that NOW?" Leonardo was getting angry with him. He knew Raphael liked to pick,

"Can't I work out too. You don't own the dojo LEONARDO."

"Yeah, but....I know what you are up to."

"And what's that." Raphael argued back.

"You and Venus plan to sneak out tonight." Leonardo wiped his face with the towel again. "I know you better than you think.

"So, I plan to sneak out. You have a problem with that." Raphael knew he was starting to get to his brother.

"Splinter instructed all of us to stay home tonight." Leonardo glared at his brother. Raphael was trying his patience.

"So, what are you going to do about it?" Raphael challenged him. Raphael hated how Leonardo always portrayed himself as the perfect son. Especially, when he was kissing Splinter's ass.

Leonardo was aggravated with Raphael. He was perfectly calm and content until he came in. "I don't care what you do. Just don't complain to me if something bad happens."

"Oh, I won't" Raphael remark as he left the practice room.

Leonardo steamed. Raphael always had to be the troublesome one. How could Venus want him? It still hurt him inside. I guess he never really got over it yet. Then, to top it off, Donnie said TurtleNinja will be coming next week.

Why did Raphael think he was so stupid to not know he and Venus were sneaking out tonight? He knew long before that his brother wasn't going to listen to Splinter and that Venus was going to follow him. Michaelangelo was probably out too. Michaelangelo and Raphael. Double and Trouble.

This would be a long night.

What was taking him so long? Venus thought to herself. Hopefully Raphael didn't aggravate Leonardo too much. Hopefully they weren't trying to kill each other.

Venus sighed and looked at Raphael's bike. It scared her sometimes to ride it. It wasn't like the Hummer. At least you didn't have to watch the road underneath you. She did like to ride it. Maybe that because she could wrap her arms around Raphael and lay her head on his back. She bit her lip as she thought of this.

"Hey Vee!" Raphael said as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Did you wait long?"

"Not to long." She replied as she kissed his cheek.

Raphael hopped on his bike and Venus followed behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his back closing her eyes.
