Here With Me
Chapter X: I'm Fine
By: Michelle
Donatello helped Leonardo walk back to Venus' home.
"What happened?" Splinter and Mai Li asked with worry.
Donatello helped Leonardo lay down on the floor next to Raphael.
"I was fighting with one of the dragons." Leonardo explained. "She grabbed my leg and twisted my ankle a bit. I'm fine."
Leonardo winced in pain when his brother examining his foot.
"It doesn't sound like you are fine." Mai Li sat down to look at his foot with Donatello.
"Ow." Leonardo yelled in pain.
"I'm sorry." Mai Li apologized. "I didn't mean to hurt you."
Mai Li and Donatello continued to examine his foot, when a knock was heard at the front door.
"I'll get it." Michaelangelo rushed to the door.
When he opened the door, he found Suki with a fearful look in her face. "is my aunt here?"
"Yeah, she's examining my brother's hurt foot." Michaelangelo noticed her expression. "Are you alright?"
"No, I need to speak with my aunt." Suki insisted and called. "Aunt Mai Li."
"Suki." Mai Li stood up and went over to her. "What is wrong?"
"Your home was broken into. We went for a walk in the garden and when we returned we found the kitchen a mess. There was blood on the floor and a hole through the wall."
"My bad." Leonardo yelled from where he was sitting. "We'll fix the wall.....Damn Donnie that hurt."
"Well stay still." Donatello replied back.
"What about the blood on the floor?" Suki exclaimed.
"None of us are bleeding." Mondo Gecko pointed out as he checked for cuts.
"Then, why is there blood on the floor?" Suki asked.
"We'll go look." Michaelangelo volunteered himself and Mondo Gecko.
"Bring me a sample." Donatello called out.
"OK." Michaelangelo responded. "I guess we should fix that wall too."
Mondo Gecko nodded.

Tashina paced around her brother's bed. Where was that damn daughter of his?
Katina open the door to his room. "I'm back. I got all the ingredients."
"It's about time." Tashina stopped pacing.
Dragon Lord looked over dizzily at his daughter. "Your bleeding." He tried to sit up and she quickly went over to him.
"Father, you should lie down."
"No." He examined the cloak she was wearing, then her dress.
"Father, I'm fine."
"Then, what's this?" He pointed to the blood soaked spot on her cloak.
Kat looked at the spot. "Oops!" That's where she put all of the jars full of ingredients. One must have broken with her fight with the Turtle.
Kat pulled out two jars and handed them to her aunt. Then, she pulled out to broken jars.
Tashina rolled her eyes. "I can't believe this." She said disapprovingly as Kat handed her wormwood leaves with tiger's blood on them.
"I'm sorry, but the Shinobi's friends arrived and we began fighting." Kat explained.
'What?" Dragon Lord turned angrily at his sister. She should have known this would happen.
"Father, I'm fine." Kat protested and her began to search for bruises. "I'm not the one with the hurt ankle." She smiled.
"Good." Dragon Lord was pleased his daughter handled herself so well.
Tashina studied Kat for a second, then looked at the ingredients in her hands. "I'm going to add these to the potion." Then, she left the room.
"Now, Father." Kat instructed. "You need your rest. I'll be back when Aunt Tashina is ready to give you your medicine."
Kat left her father's room and began to walk to her room. She was so happy her father was proud of her, but she felt sorry for the Turtle. He was kind of cute for the enemy and all.
Once in her room, she took of the cloak she was wearing. She laid on her bed and thought about the Turtle she encountered. He was so cute and strong and brave. Father would forbid her ever seeing him or thinking about him. Still, she could dream about him.
******************************************
Splinter watched as Leonardo took a deep breath. What was his son thinking about? Something definitely was on his mind. He knew it wasn't the fact that Donatello was no longer examining his foot. It had to be something else.
Leonardo laid back and smiled to himself. That dragon girl he fought today. She was so beautiful and a pretty good fighter. What was her name again? Kat.
She kind of reminded him of Raph with that flip mouth and Venus with her mystical nature and beauty. Yeah, she was a beauty. That long black hair that curled at the tips. Those beautiful blue eyes. Yeah, she was beautiful, but deadly.
He thought about his foot. It hurt like hell. It was swelling and had her fingernail marks in it. Damn his foot hurt. His heart hurt too. He could never have someone like her. Why did she have to be the enemy?
Splinter noticed all the changes of expression in Leonardo's face. "Is there something on your mind my son?"
"No, sensei." He sighed softly. "Just day dreaming."
