Author's Notes:
All right, I finally have the turtles appear in this fic! I told you I would get to them sooner or later. Now, I will warn you there will be some fluffly romance in this fic between a few couples but I'm not saying who for now. I don't want to ruin the story for you. Also, I'm trying to work with more details in my fics so bare with me on that.
A message to Sailor Vegeta (cool name btw): Yeah, it's Mikey that's making April order all those pizzas. He wouldn't be Mikey if he didn't chow down a lot of pizzas. LOL.
Chapter Six: Fighting:
Leonardo (aka Leo), Donatello (aka Donnie), Raphael (aka Raph), Michelangelo (aka Mikey), Venus, and Splinter were mutants who lived below the streets of New York. There home was an old subway station. They lived below because the above world would not understand them. Lenardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Venus were mutant turtles who were in their teenage years. Splinter was a mutant rat who was very old and wise.
Splinter was the turtle's father and mentor. Fifteen years ago he had found Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo walking in a strange glowing ooze which was the cause of their mutation. After the mutating was finished, Splinter taught them the ways of the ninja, and later gave them names after his favorite artist. Venus didn't come till later. She came to New York from China after her master died. Venus was also mutated somehow. It took the brothers a long while but they had finally gotten use to her. She was not related to them though.
Splinter's children were very different from each other as well as the way they fought. Leonardo was Splinter's right hand turtle and he was a great swords turtle. Donatello was the genius of the group and his weapon was a bo. Rapheal was the hothead and his was very good with cis. Michelangelo was the goofy one of the group and used nun chucks. Finally, Venus. She was much like Splinter, gentle and kind hearted.
The mutants kept below only during the day. During the night, they patrol the streets for punks or thugs, etc... The turtles and the rat only had two humans who they trusted: Casey Jones and April O' Neil who was now known as April Jones. They knew that those two would keep their secret about themselves and living down below.
At the moment, Splinter and Venus were meditating while the brothers were doing their own thing. Raph and Leo were talking, which would soon lead to fighting. These two brothers loved each other deeply but they couldn't help but get on each other's nerves. Mikey and Donnie were using Donnie's computer, playing a computer game.
"You better watch out Don," Mikey said. "I'm going to beat you and then I'm going to brag about it!"
"I would think twice about that my friend." replied Donnie with a grin. Mikey didn't know it but Donnie was winning but he didn't want to admit.
A few minutes later, Donnie won the game. Mikey, of course had to make a big show out of it. "Dude! You beat me! I could have sworn I had it!"
"Look, how about we play again, and I'll let you win?" suggested Donnie.
"Nah, I want to beat you fair and square." Mikey said. "C'mon let's play again!"
So, Donnie agreed to play the game again. A few feet away, fighting had started up between Leo and Raph. What made it worse, it was over something silly.
"C'mon on admit Leo." Raph said to his brother. "You know you like her!"
Leo blushed a little. "I do not!" he shot back. "Venus is cool and all but I don't like her like that!"
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Raph replied with a laugh.
These little argument had been going on for a few weeks now. Raph was the first to start this fight. He started noticing little things that Leo did when Venus was around. Raph would see him flirt, blush, and when they were in a fight with a thug or someone like that, and if Venus ever got into trouble Leo was always the first to "rescue" her. Raph always brought this little fight when Leo got on his nerves.
"Leo and Venus sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" he began to sing.
That had struck a nerve in Leo so he got back at him. "Well, at least I didn't fall in love with a human and still have feelings for her!"
Silence. That comment cause Donnie and Mikey to quit the game they were playing and looked at their two other brothers. Leo had a proud look upon his face while Raph turned his head away. Leo's proud face fell and knew this time he had gone a little too far this time.
It was true, Raph did have feelings for a human. His friend, April O' Neil... Jones... He had fallen in love with her a few years back after they almost lost her when they had gone back in time (story from movie three). He had gotten the nerves to tell April how he felt but she had turned him down. Her excuse was that it wouldn't work because she was a human and he was turtle. Now, the two were still friends but sometimes they felt awkward around each other. When April told Raph and the others about her and Casey getting married, Raph wasn't too thrilled but he put on a good face and congratulated them anyway. He tried to put his feelings for April away but that was easier said then done.
"I can't believe you said that." Raph said quietly, ending the award silence that had filled den.
Leo didn't know how to reply. He kept silent. Leo watched as Raph got up. "Where are you going?"
"Out." answered Raph as he reached for his coat and hat.
Leo followed him. "Look Raph, I'm really sorry about what I said." he said to him. "Please don't go out angry. You know how you get when you're angry."'
"Gee, I wonder why I'm always angry!" Raph yelled him.
Raph's yelling caused Splinter and Venus to come out of their meditating. "What is going on?" asked Splinter.
"Yes, is something wrong?" Venus asked.
Leo answered: "No. It's nothing."
Splinter could tell that was a lie. "Secrets will reveal themselves in time. It's better to say what is wrong now."
"Well, let Mr. Right-hand over here tell ya Master." replied Raph. "I'm heading up top."
Splinter sighed as he watched leave the den. He then turned to Leo. "Tell me what is going on right now."
Leo was hesitant before telling Splinter what had happened but he finally told him. He didn't tell him what the fight was about. He let that little detail out. He would have Splinter the whole truth but since Venus was next to him, he kept the part about her out of it.
To Be Continued...
Author's Notes: (Continued): Dun, dun, dun! The plot thickens! Hope no ones minds me pairing Raph with April, well for a little bit anyway. I had to have something good for the turtle storyline. Plus, I've seen a lot of fics where some of the turtles are paired with a human so I wanted to give it a try. As I said in the above author's notes, the romance will only be fluffy. Nothing rated R or NC-17.
