Fallen Angel

"Hey Raph you're just in time for---" Mikey stoped what he was saying as he saw a girl jump off the latter behind his brother. She was wearing white canvase sneakers with blue and lavender laces, she had on a pair of snug blue jeans that had a light blue ribbon trim around the bottoms and up the sides. Her top was also light blue and way too thin for the weather, considering her only jacket was a thin light blue hoodie. He wasn't suprised that the girl was shivering. She stood about 5' 7", her eyes were the lightest shade of green, and her hair was down past her elbows and so blond it was almost white. "Wow, an angel just fell in the sewer behind ya Raph."

"You must be Mikey." she said as she smiled through chattering teeth.

"And you must be freezing." He replied. "Let me go make you something warm to drink! What would you like?"

"Some hot tea would be wonderful! Thank you!" she grinned brightly at him. "He's sweet." She commented to Raph.

Raph just shook his head."You stay here. I'll go get Splinter." She pouted but made no move to follow him.

Before Raph could knock on Splinter's door however, he heard a raised female voice back in the main room. Raph rushed to find out what was going on now.

"You!" Venus yelled at the girl. How had this happened, it wasn't possible, she told herself. "What are you doing here!?"

"Quite yelling would ya!" The girl replied. "You trying to alert everyone in New York of my presence?"

"Answer my question!" Venus yelled back.

"Maybe if you asked me in a polite manner, I would consider your request" she retorted.

Out of nowhere, Venus blasted the girl with a stream of light blue energy. "Venus! What do you think you are doing!?" Splinter yelled having followed Raph after hearing the comotion.

"Oh, she's fine! She might have a bruise but she'll be fine, if that." Venus huffed at the figure that had been knocked to the ground. The girl coudn't possibly have been really hurt.

"That hurt!" The girl said sounding a little confused. She picked herself up off the floor, stumbled a little, and then shot a dark green flame across the room at Venus.

"Enough!" Splinter yelled as Venus hit the couch and bounced to the floor. These girls were going to really hurt each other if this wasn't stopped.

The girl dropped to her hands and knees and let out a groan of pain. She was breathing hard and looked really tired. "I'm afraid I can't play like I used to, My Pie."

"Do not call me that you horrible creature!"

"I would raise my hands in surrender, but I think you broke something." She replied shakily standing up.

Venus watched the girl warily, waiting for one of her tricks. "Did I really hurt you?" She asked, a little concerned now.

The girl laughed. " I wanna show you something." She turned her back to them and removed her jacket. The shirt she was wearing was a tank top with thin cross straps in the back. Also on her back were two scars along each of her shoulder blades, about 4 inches long.

Venus gasped. "But why?"

"I thought about what you said before you left China. You were right, My Pie. It is better to be mortal than have no heart."

"But when?" Venus asked obviously in shock.

"Just tonight. They left me in the Park. Raph found me enjoying the snow for the first time. Don't look so sad, My Pie, I'm enjoying it!"

Raph was meanwhile getting more and more confused, though he did know one thing, that girl had used him to get to Venus. "Now let me get this straight. You lied to me, used me, and now you're telling me you don't have a place to go cause 'They' dumped you in central park."

She stared at him with a little bit of confusion, then looked back at Venus. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Yes. It's called manipulation, and it's very bad." Splinter said interupting what ever his son had intended to say to her.

The girl sighed. "This might take a little more getting used to than I thought. That's why I sought you out. My Pie wrote a letter to Chun I about you. He was already gone, so I intercepted it. I had already made my decision and knew I would have to find you if I hoped to survive in this world. I'm sorry for the wrong things I've done so far, as you can see I really will need help."

"The Fallen Angel will stay with us." Splinter declared, glaring at Raph as he was about to protest. "Leonardo, Donatello make her a room. Mikey, she will be hungery. Raph, you are her tutor from now on. Venus come with me, we will discuse your behavior." With that he turned and left the room and Venus followed. Leo and Don still confused, proceeded to do as Splinter had asked.

Mikey stared at the girl. "You really are an Angel?"

The girl stared at him, then closed her eyes and sighed. "Not anymore I'm not. Besides I was only half Angel. And I was only an observer anyways. Sent to observe people like My Pie and Chung I." Her stomach growled and she put her hand over it and looked down. "Oh, my tummy feels wierd."

"You're hungery. Mikey can make you something, you might even be able to eat it." Raph commented from his position on the wall.

"Oh yeah!" Mikey glared at Raph. "I'll have ya all fixed up in a jiffy." Mikey said walking pasy Raph and into the kitchen.

"You're angery with me for earlier, aren't you?" She asked when they were alone.

"Yes. I am." He replied still glaring at her.

"Well then, tutor's are supposed to teach, so tell me what I did wrong and teach me how to make you not mad at me." She reqeusted as she sat down on the floor and replaced her jacket.

Raph sighed walked over and sat down in the chair in front of her. "Ok. First of all, it's wrong to lie. Especially if you want someone's help. All that gets you is a beating. I won't beat you up this time cause Venus did a good job of that, but next time your ass is mine. Deal?"

"Ummmm. Deal?" she replied uncertainly. He was bigger and a better fighter than she was. She really didn't doubt that he could easily take her down.

Raph shook his head. "Now, I want you to tell me the truth. What is your name?"

"My name is Jade, Chung I gave it to me. I don't have a last name. Is that important? Can I survive here without one?" She asked worriedly.

"We don't have last names and we survive just fine." Raph replied, he was loosing his patience quickly. Why did Splinter give him this task, he knew Raph didn't have the patience to deal with something like this. Leo would have been the better choice. Raph sighed. Whe did life always have to get weirder.

Suddenly her small had was resting on his knee. He looked up at her."I know I'm a burdon and you've got better things to do then teach me things a 5 year old should know, and I'm sorry. Being my tutor won't be easy, especially when I've never delt much with emotions before. Please don't be mad at me. I wasn't lying when I said someone was after me. I'm sure it won't take them long to find me. I really need to learn how to survive so that you all won't be in danger." She looked so sad. It hit something he didn't know he had, a soft spot in him somewhere.

"Go eat your dinner." He told her gruffly, useing her hand to pull her to her feet.

"Are you still mad at me? I don't like this emotion I feel when I think you are." She replied refusing to budge till he answered.

"I'm not mad at you. Now go eat before you hurt Mike's feelings." Raph said, truning and going to where he heard Leo and Donnie to help them.

She stared after him for a minute. He didn't have very much patience. She would take up the fact that he had just lied to her after telling her it was wrong later. Right now she was hungery and something smelled really good.
