/AN/: Hey everyone! Thanks for the reviews, and to 'the phantom reviwer' thanks for the advice, I'll try to stop the run on sentences, and YES! :p I happen to be VERY proud of myself. I just kinda got tired of the turtles being the only good guy mutants. (Bee-bop and Rock-steady. Need I say more?) I realize they aren't the only ones, good or bad, but I just wanted to make up my own. ^_~ Anyway, as it says near the end of this chapter, the turtles in this story are 18, and the girls all 16. CU guys later!

Chapter Two

I woke up I don't know how long later, but I shot upright and immediatly experienced a splitting headache. I put a hand to my forehead and groaned.

"She's awake!" I heard a voice call. I paniked because I didn't reconize the voice.

"Calli? Euro? Lioka?" I called with fear in my voice.

"Who are they?"

"Must be the other girls." I heard the voices again.

"Where are my friends?" I yelled. I was VERY scared. I had some kind of blindfold on, and couldn't see. I put up my hands and began trying to untie whatever the thing was.

"Uh oh, hold on there dudet." I felt someone grab my wrists and pull them away from the blindfold.

"Kaze?" I heard Calli call.

"Calli! Are you all right? Where are we?"

"I don't know, do you know where the others are?"

At that moment we heard Euro scream, "Kaze! Help!"

I let loose a terrific growl, and wrenched my wrists from the grasp of my captor. I swung my feet off of whatever it was and stood up. As soon as I did I felt a wave of nausia wash over me, and I fell to my knees. I forced myself to get up when I heard Euro call again, "Kaze!" My hands flew up and ripped off the blindfold. I saw Euro and Calli sitting up on a couch, also with blindfolds on. They were clutching eachother and wimpering. I bolted for the couch, but after about three steps, I collapsed.

"Kaze?" Calli called when she heard me hit the ground.

"I'm fine." I growled, and started to get back up again.

"Whoa! That's one tough chick!" I heard someone behind me whistle. I whipped my head around and forced them to focus when they started to go black. What I saw froze me for a few seconds. I was looking at three man- size, armed turtles. One of my friends began crying. I jerked my head around looking for Lioka and saw her lying on the floor, motionless a few feet from me. I dove for her and hefted her onto my shoulder. There was mind-numbing pain in my head, but I had to ignore it and get us out of here. I ran towards the couch and saw one of the 'turtles' diving for me out of the corner of my eye. I jerked back and let him sail through the air in front of me. I then leaped at the couch and grabbed my friends hands.

"Come on!" I yelled, "Let's go!" They both smiled, relieved and jumped up. I ran, leading them to a ladder I saw leadind up. I didn't care where it went as long as it got us out. I heard pounding feet behind me and yelled ,"Climb!" when we got to the ladder. They both started up the ladder, and took off their blinfolds as they went up. I grabbed the rungs with one hand, and held onto Lioka with the other. I climbed up after them, a little slower because of the weight, and felt the nausia wash over me again, and I gagged. I felt hands circle my waist, and jerk me off the ladder. Calli and Euro looked down and froze. "GO!" I yelled at them. They both jerked their heads back up and scambled up the ladder. I began to thrash wildly, and grabbed Lioka.

"Take her!" I yelled at Euro, who had looked back down at me. She obediantly snatched Lioka and started up the ladder again. I wrenched free of the things grasp and tried to make it to the ladder. Instead I collasped to the ground, and began to gag again.

"Kaze!" Calli yelled to me.

"GO! NOW!" I yelled back and looked up at her. She got to the top of the thing and got through. Suddenly one of the things jumped on the ladder and started after Calli and the others.

"Leave her alone!" I screamed at it, but it just followed her up and dissapered through the hole at the top. I jumped up at the ladder and began to follw IT, but as soon as I got up to the ladder, everything went black. I groaned and fell back.

"Catch her!" said one of the voices, but it sounded far away. And once again, I blacked out.

When I woke up this time, I didn't have the blindfold on. I was lying on an old couch, with a cold pack pressed against my forehead. And this time the faces I saw were welcome ones.

"Kaze!" said Calli with a big happy grin on her face.

"How ya doing, Bud?" said Euro.

But the most welcome face by far was Lioka's, "Geez, you sleep like a rock." she said in a teasing voice. I managed a weak smile and slowley sat up, taking off the cold pack.

"I'm suprised she's able to get up after pulling that stunt." I heard a voice say. I turned my head and saw one of the turtle things, it had on a purple bandanna. I looked at it in shock, and then gasped as my memory came back in full.

I began to move, but Calli put a hand on my shoulder, and said, "It's okay Kaze. They're friends."

I looked at the thing wearily and said, "What is, er, I mean who is, ummmm.." I couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl. I finally gave up and said "...that?" Euro saved me, seeing that I was confused.

"HE is named Donetello." I smiled at her gratefully.

"Sorry we scared you so bad a while ago." he said apologetically. Lioka put the missing piece in the puzzle.

"He and his friends are the ones who crashed our fight." she said with a grimace, and rubbed the side of her head.

"What happened?" I said with a groan, putting a hand to my back.

Donetello answered. "When we came in, it caught you guys off guard, and the Foot knocked you guys out. Lioka and you were the ones that got hit the hardest. As you can see she's fine, but you are going to need to take it easy for a while. You were hit across the head with a metal bar. All of the others were banged up, but not as much as you."

I looked at him more confused than ever. "'The Foot?'" Calli asked.

"It's what the gang you just fought calls themselves." said a voice came from the corner. I turned my head and saw another turtle, this one had on a red bandanna.

"This is Rapheal." said Donetello.

"How many of you guys are there?" Euro asked looking from Donetello to Rapheal. I wasn't paying any attention. I was studying the turtle in the red bandanna. I noticed he seemed a little stronger than Donetello, and had that kind of air about him that said, "Don't mess with me." He returned my stare straight in the eyes, seeming to study me also as he looked me up and down. I shot a glare at him, deciding I didn't like this one because I had remembered he was the one who tried to tackle me the first time I woke up.

"There are four of us. Not including our sensei, Splinter." said Don.

"And for our sake, I hope this is all there is of you guys." growled Rapheal returning my glare.

Euro rolled her eyes. "You should be thanking us! By the time you got there we had already taken out half of those guys!" she said accusingly.

Rapheal crossed his arms defiantly, and said, "If it wasn't for us you would still be out there unconcious."

"And whose fault was it that we were out cold in the first place?" I snarled at him. My three friends looked at me in shock. I usually didn't decide I hated someone until I got to know them better, but here I was, making it profusely clear I DID NOT like this guy.

"Please. You girls would have been dead in a few more minutes." he sneered at me, making my blood boil. I heard Calli gulp next to me, slightly backing away from me as I clenched my fists and growled.

"Knock it off you two, I've got a headache." Lioka groaned.

"So, where and who are your friends?" asked Calli, in attempt to break up the fight.

"I'm Michalengeo!" said a cheerful voice, and in walked a turtle wearing orange, and carrying a pizza.

"Okay, so what exactly did I miss out on while I was out?" I asked, tearing my glare away from the red-clad turtle, and relaxing before I hurt someone.

"Not much." said Euro seriously. "Just some names and assurances that they're good turtles."

I looked up at Michalengeo and called, "What kind of pizza is that?"

He looked at it closely and said, "Pepperoni and cheese with sausage,and some cheeries." he declared proudly.

I shook my head in mock depression and said, "He sounds just like you, Calli!"

"Except I'd have some whipcream on top too." she said seriously. When it came to testing out unusual things, Calli was very enthusiastic. The rest of us had gotten used to having to try her concoctions along with her, so the news of what was on the pizza really didn't faze us. In fact, it was one of the most unusaul pizzas we had heard of in a long time.

"Let me up." I told my friends, still ignoring Rapheal. "I feel better now, honestly." They looked doubtful, but got out of the way, and helped me up. It took a few seconds to get my ballance, but I felt fine when I got up.

Donetello said, "You sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, now let's eat!"I replied.

"I second that motion!" said a voice from the door and in walked a turtle wearing a blue bandanna.

"This is Leonardo." introduced Michelangelo as we all sat down.

"Hello." I said. After we all got our slices and picked off the cherries and sat them to the side (all except for Calli) Euro asked them were they all got their names. "We were all named after famous artists by Splinter."

"What's a sensei?" asked Lioka, remembering that that was what Rapheal had called him earlier.

"He's the person who teaches us the martial arts." answered Donetello.

"Donetello, Michalangelo, Leonardo, and Rapheal." Lioka said to herself, connecting them with the artists.

"Or Don, Mike, Leo, and Raph for short." stated Michalangelo.

"Kamikaze, Callisto, Europa and Liokaroka." I told them. "Just call us Kaze, Calli, Euro, and Lioka though." Rapheal and I both looked up at the same time, and shot glares at eachother, making it clear we weren't on first name basis.

"Four beautiful names for four beautiful children." We all looked up to see a man-sized rat.

Lioka immediatly smiled, and said, "Any person who is that good at giving compliments is ok in my book." I stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Splinter?" I guessed. He bowed back.

Donetello turned and said,"Won't your parents be worried if you don't come back?"

"Not much chance of that." Lioka said with a half smile. We all looked at eachother and smiled sadly, remembering how life used to be.

"What's wrong?" said Mike. We all looked at eachother. Then they all looked at me.

I gave a small shrug and said, "Nothing, we're fine."

"Perhaps, at another time?" asked Splinter. We all smiled at him gratefully, knowing he could tell we were all tired.

Leo on the other hand was still curious and asked, "How did you guys end up fighting the foot?" At that moment Calli choose to give a huge yawn and plop her head down on the table. Lioka, Euro and I all laughed quietly, and I shrugged again in apology. "We've all had a very tiring day."

Splinter and the turtles all looked at us sympathetically. "Why don't you guys look around and relax?" said Leo. I nodded and went over and picked up Calli and took her into the couch in the other room.

"So, where are we?" asked Lioka. I took my first good look around, and saw that we were actually in a underground.

"You're in an old abandoned subway." said Don.

"We can't just go up to someone and rent an apartment, so we live below the ground. It's actually kind of cool down here," said Mike. I nodded in amazment as I looked around.

"Man! I'd love to live down here!" exclaimed Lioka. We all began looking around.

"Hey! You guys have your own gym???" said Euro suddenly, who was looking into a part of the subway that was through another door. Before anyone could explain anything, we were all over there with her, looking in even more amazment at what appeared to something similar to our schools weight training room.

"ALL RIGHT!" we all shouted and ran into the room. I grabbed some barbells and began pumping iron, missing my own set at my old home. Lioka and Euro had begun wrestling on one of the matts, getting back into the feeling of being 'home'. I suddenly put down the barbells and ran to the couch were Calli was lying down and whispered in her ear.

She mumbled for me to go away at first, but after I whispered to her again, she sat bolt upright and exclaimed, "No WAY!" She ran back with me to the room, and looked lovingly at all the equipment. I went back to the barbells, and she found something of her own to play with (one of those things you push with your feet)

After a few seconds, Lioka and Euro decided me and Calli need the excersize too, and Lioka flew at me with a "Think fast!" I ducked, dodged Calli who had jumped at us, and put Euro into a headlock. Lioka threw a punch at my midsection, and I cartwhelled to the safety of the doorway, right in front of Master Splinter.

I blushed deep red and barked at the other girls, "Cool it!" I bowed to him and said, "My apologies, Master Splinter. We have a set-up similar to this at our home, and it excited us." Rapheal shot me a disgusted look, and I clenched and unclenched my hands, resisting to urge to reach out and strangle him.

"Quit understandable my child." He said with a kind smile. "I must speak to my students for a moment, enjoy yourselves." and with that, he turned and ushered the turtles into the old car. The other girls all looked to make sure they were gone, and went back to fighting eachother. It was a good ten minutes before we even stopped for a break, and most of our energy was worked out by then, and we all went back to either bench pressing, or whatever all the others were doing.

"Hey guys! Look at these!" Calli called to us later. She had found the turtles weapons.

"Wow." was all Lioka could say. We examined them for a while. They had a bow, two swords, grappling hooks, siehs, and nunchucks.

"Hey guys?" asked Calli. "What are we going to do? We can't stay down here forever, and I'm sure that within a day or two we'll have worn out our welcome."

"Yeah." said Lioka, "I mean, these guys have been nice, but we don't want to be just some more people for them to take care of for the rest of our lives!"

"Well, what do you guys suggest?" asked Euro.

"We could leave in the morning, I mean, I'm fine now, so they don't need to take care of me anymore." I suggested.

"They would never let us go if they knew." said Calli flately.

"Oh, I don't think Raph would mind if I got out of his sight." I said with a smirk.

"Okay, so we go home and salvage what we can tomorrow night and- Oh no!" Euro suddenly yelped.

All the other girls looked at her with eyebrows raised, and asked, "What???"

"Our backpacks are still in that alley!" We all looked sick when we realized she was right.

"Oh no..." moaned Calli.

"If one of those 'Foot' guys found them they could identify us!" groaned Lioka.

"Well, we'll just have to go get them, won't we?" Leonardo said, coming into the room. All of us jumped, and shrieked.

"Geez, a little more warning next time, ok?" said Lioka, hyperventalating.

"We need to go get our packs if they're still there." I said.

"Uh, could one of you guys tell us how to get there?" Euro asked him.

He smiled, "Sure, but Master Splinter would like it better if one of us went with you guys." We all nodded and followed him out of the room. Leo walked up to the other turtles and said, "Someone needs to take the girls to get thier stuff. They left it by the building we fought in."

"I'll come!" said Mike.

"Anyone else?" asked Leonardo.

"Nah, I'm trying to make a new remote for the TV." said Don.

"You go on ahead, we'll wait here." said Raph, with a glare at me out of the corner of his eye.

"Okay, follow me and don't get lost." ordered Leo. He went up the ladder and dissapered through the top. As we followed, we began to think about what we'd do if they had found our backpacks.

"Well, even if they did, nobody has seen us for a week." said Lioka quietly, although not quietly enough.

"Why hasn't anyone seen you for a week?" Mike asked instantly. All the girls looked at me with worried faces.

"Uh, we kind of ran away from home." I mumbled.

"There's a while before we get to where we're going, why don't you tell us why?" asked Leo. I sighed in defeat.

"Okay, here goes." I took a deep breath. "Our names are Kamikaze Petersen, Europa Vickery, Callisto Krueger, and Liokaroka Purol. A few weeks ago our parents were riding in a plane to go see the mountins, but it crashed, and they all died." Euro, Calli, Kaze and I all looked at each other sadly, and the turtle boys winced, and nodded for me to go on. "Anyway," I said continuing on, " before our parents died, all of them told us in one way or another that we should always stick together if they ever left, so when they wanted to split us up by putting us in some gay orphanages, we had no choice but to leave. We've been on the street for about five days now, but we've been tough."

"But you guys can't be more than sixteen!" said Mike. We all growled and stopped in our tracks refusing to budge.

"For your information, that does not make us wimps." Lioka snarled.

"Besides, it's not the first time we've been on our own." I said grimly. "One time our famileis were camping in some forest, and the girls and I were lost for two weeks. Compared to that, this was a piece of cake." Both of the turtles turned around in suprise and looked at us.

"What?!" exclaimed Leonardo.

"So we know how to take care of ourselves, ok?" Calli said with narrowed eyes.

"How old are you?" asked Lioka, looking at Leo with dislike. "Uh, we're all eightteen." said Mike.

"See? Only two years older. When was the last time you had to fight a bear for your breakfast?" said Lioka.

"We'll be okay, just tell us how to get to the building, and we can get there ourselves. We need to get a couple of things anyway." I said.

"Uh, we'd still like to come with you to make sure everything will be okay..." said Michalengelo.

"We'll explain things to master Splinter." said Euro.

"I don't know..." said Leo.

"We'll be fine." I promised sincerily.

"Alright, just go down this pipe until you get to another ladder. Go up and it's about a block east to the warehouse." said Michelangleo.

"Right." we all said, and walked down the pipe, with the sounds of the two brothers arguing getting softer and softer.

"Geez lueez, is it just me or are these guys overprotective?" Calli said. I couldn't help but smiling at that.

"It feels sort of nice to have someone care about us again, though." Euro said with a small smile.

I couldn't agree more.
