Kia leaned over her sister, carefully dressing her wounds. Sasha and Autumn had left to get something to eat, but Kia remained behind to examine her sister who had defended Kia from their former master.

"What were you thinking?" Kia asked her still unconscious sister. "I can take care of myself. Why did you do that?"

"Maybe she cares for you an awful lot," a voice said from behind Kia. She turned into Donny.

"Donny," she sighed relieved, "you scared me." Donny nodded. "Have a seat so I can check your injury." Kia looked at Donny confused. "My injury?"

Donny pointed to his cheek and Kia nodded. "I see."

Kia sat down across from Donny, who was sitting on his bed. Kia looked directly at Donny. Donny lifted the washcloth up and began to slowly clean the area around the bruise. Once finished, he placed some ointment his finger and looked up at Kia.

"This will help to reduce the swelling. If you don't mind…" "No," Kia said shaking her head, "It's fine." Donny reached over and slowly rubbed the ointment into her skin. Kia closed her eyes as he touched her face. Kia was trying hard to keep her breathing controlled, even though her heart was beating faster.

Donny kept his mind focused on the task, and not on the patient. It was becoming increasingly difficult as the ointment working into her skin. She looked so peaceful with her eyes closed, almost like she was asleep. He paused, studying her face.

Kia opened her eyes when she realized that Donny's hand had paused. Her violet eyes connected with his light gray ones. Both just froze, lost in the other's eyes.

Neither noticed the yelling in the other room, until Sasha came crashing into the room. Kia and Donny both jumped and moved away from each other. Sasha was too steamed to notice.

"Your brother is an arrogant, hot-headed jackass," Sasha said, pacing the room. Kia looked at her sister with some amusement.

"Sounds like someone else I know," Kia said. Sasha turned and glared at her younger sister. "Kia… I swear if…"

"Mmm," came from the cot. Donny moved over to the young girl and looked over her face. Judy's eyes slowly opened her eyes and looked directly into Donny's gray eyes. Kia rushed over and looked over Donny's shoulder.

"Judy, you're awake," Kia said smiling. Donny turned to Kia and smiled. "I think she's going to be okay." Judy smiled as Donny turned and looked back at her. "How ya feeling?" he asked.

"Fine," she said. She looked straight up at Donny, still smiling, and said, "I am just fine now."

After a couple of days, Donny and Kia both agreed that Judy could be allowed out. The boys were in the dojo practicing while the girls enjoyed some leftover pizza.

"Wow, it is so different than what I would have thought," Sasha said. Kia nodded. "I guess that we were working on the wrong side all along."

Autumn slammed her fist on the table causing the other three to look at her. "I can't believe that we were trained our whole lives to kill these turtles who, for all we know, could be the only male mutant turtles in existence. We could have killed our future."

The other three looked down at the table, each with heavy thought on their minds. None of them heard the old rat walk into the kitchen and sit down.

"What is wrong, children?" he asked. Sasha looked up at the kind old rat. "Master Splinter, if I may call you that," Splinter nodded. "We were just coming to the realization that we could have destroyed your sons. We were trained to destroy them."

Splinter nodded in understanding. "Perhaps you could train with my sons so that they may be able to defend themselves better against the Shredder."

Kia shrugged. "Why not? It could be our way to apologize. Besides, Judy needs to get some exercise and work out her muscles."

The girls and Splinter stood and headed over to the dojo to begin training with the guys.

Shredder paced in his room. A dead foot soldier sat by his desk. Another foot entered and bowed. Shredder motioned to the dead soldier and said, "Remove the idiot from my sights. Then take a group of foot into the sewers and hunt down the turtles. If we find them, we find the girls. Kill them all."

The soldier nodded and dragged the dead foot out of the room. Shredder sat at his desk and slammed his fists onto the desk. "Damn those girls," he mumbled under his breath.
