Sorry about the delay with this chapter everyone. It's just that I've been
having a bad case of writers block not to mention, college and working
doesn't help much either.
Chapter 11
"After Shredder's Trial"
Sachi kept her word and went to her father's trial. She had brought Leonardo with her. He was in his disguise. He sat next to her as she listened to the verdict, only five years of prison with the possibility of parole. After the trial, Sachi walked over to her father and hugged him.
"I'll be out as soon as I can, my child," promised Saki.
Sachi hugged her father tightly. When she let go of him, Saki turned his attention to Leo.
"Leonardo, I trust that you will keep my daughter safe and honor her," said Saki.
"You have my word, upon my honor," said Leo.
"One more thing, take this for me," said Saki, handing Leo an envelope, "Inside is something special, the most precious thing I could ever give anyone. Please read the note I wrote in side."
"Yes, sir," said Leo, "I've never shaken hands with a man before but I will keep my word."
Two guards took Saki away. Saki looked over his shoulder to see Sachi hugging Leo, crying. He saw Leo was doing his best to comfort Sachi. She's in the best hands I could ask for, thought Saki.
Leonardo and Sachi started to walk towards the layer. Sachi was very quiet. She didn't seem to want her father to leave.
"Sachi, are you okay?" asked Leo.
"Yea. I just don't want to wait as long as he has to get to know him better," said Sachi.
Leo looked at Sachi. She seemed distracted. He took the envelope out of his coat pocket. Geeze, Saki likes to write me letters or something, thought Leo. He peered into the envelope and closed it tightly. He smiled to himself.
"What did he put in there?" asked Sachi.
"Nothing," said Leo as he placed the envelope into his pocket.
They soon got back to the layer. Sachi went to get something to eat. Leonardo went to talk to Master Splinter.
He knocked on the door and waited for the reply from Master Splinter. When it came he walked in before bowing respectfully. Master Splinter smiled and looked at his oldest son.
"What troubles you, my son?" asked Master Splinter.
"Master, Shredder gave me this envelope and asked me to read the letter inside. I haven't read the letter yet but there was also a very pretty ring in side and I'm not sure if it could have been stolen or what," explained Leonardo.
"Let me see the ring," said Master Splinter.
Leonardo took the ring out of the envelope and handed it to Master Splinter. Master Splinter looked at it closely, taking in all detail of it. He suddenly smiled when he looked on the inside of the ring.
"Read the letter. There may be the answer you are looking for in the letter," suggested Master Splinter.
Leo removed the letter from the envelope. Slowly, he opened the letter.
"Leonardo," read Leo," I am writing this to ask you to ask you to take care of my little Sachi. Normally, I would forbid this relationship but I cannot stop my daughter from loving you. I ask that if you two love each other then give this ring to her for your engagement. This ring was given to Sachi's mother when I first asked her to marry me but after the Foot killed her, they took the ring and it ended up in my possession. I have prayed that I would find Sachi and have this ring stay in the family as an engagement ring but it's up to you."
Leonardo looked up at Master Splinter. Master Splinter's eyes were soft with his fatherly understanding. Leonardo looked at his father with a questioning look.
"Is there more?" asked Master Splinter.
"Yes, but it seems to be about Tatsu and how he wants to kill Sachi," said Leonardo.
"Leonardo, alert your brothers on the matter of Tatsu but as for the ring. I cannot make that decision for you," said Master Splinter, "Also, keep in mind, she will be returning back to college soon."
"College! I forgot all about that minor detail," said Leonardo.
With that, he ran out of Master Splinter's study to talk to Sachi and give Aroko Saki his one and only request.
