This is going to sound a little funny, but just go with it. It will all come together later on. Promise.>

Raph flew into the wall and landed on the floor with a grunt. Sasha rushed over to him and offered her hand to Raph. He looked up at her with rage in his eyes and Sasha instantly retracted her hand.

Raph narrowed his eyes and Sasha avoided looking at him. She walked away and he stood. She kept her back to him. "You okay?" she asked. Raph looked over at her and a smile creped on his face. Using his ninja skills, he slowly walked up behind Sasha. "Raph, are you okay?" He still didn't answer. She turned to face him and instantly he pinned her to the ground.

The others stopped sparring to look at the other two turtles who had hit the ground. Raph looked down at Sasha with complete satisfaction, until he saw just how afraid she was. Tears were streaming down Sasha's face.

"Sasha, it's okay," Raph said sympathetically. "What's wrong?" Sasha started to sob uncontrollably. Raph sat up and pulled Sasha into his arms. He hugged her tightly, knowing that his brothers were watching. He didn't care. He couldn't stand to see women cry. Sasha wept into Raph's shoulder.

"Shhh, it's okay. Tell me what's wrong?" Sasha took a deep breath. "S…Shredder's eyes were…were always filled…with anger." Sasha looked up into Raph's eyes. "They're the same color as yours." Raph blinked as she continued to explain. "When…when he looked at you with…with anger in his eyes, you…you didn't live. He made sure of it. I saw…I saw him try to kill…Judy. The anger aimed…at her. He…wanted to kill."

Sasha broke down then and just fell into Raph's arms, crying. Raph looked up at Leo. "Take her somewhere to lay down," Leo said. Raph nodded and lifted Sasha from the ground and carried her out of the dojo. Raph took her to the nearest room, which happened to be Leo's room. He walked in and laid her down on the bed. Raph stood up to leave, but Sasha grabbed his arm.

"Don't go," she said. Raph didn't look at her. "I really think I should," he said. "I remind you of your past. I should go." Sasha pulled Raph back to the bed. "Don't leave me alone. I need to talk to someone about this. It has been killing me for years."

Raph looked down into Sasha's tear ridden blue eyes. "Okay," he said, taking a seat on the bed next to her. She didn't remove her hand from his arm as she started to talk.

"I remember first waking up in the lab. Shredder was there looking down at me, smiling. He taught us to walk, talk, and how to fight. For the first twelve years, we considered ourselves his daughters, until that day six years ago. I was twelve years old and I was working on some moves that Shredder wanted us to learn. Shredder came into the room with a baby and her mother. Apparently they had discovered the foot. Shredder saw me and told me to sit. I did, not understanding why.

"He handed the baby to another ninja and turned his attention to the mother. He started to beat the mother. I wanted to leave, but he warned us never to disobey his orders. I sat there as he slowly killed that woman. Then he turned his attention to the baby. He handed it to me and told me to kill it," Sasha paused and closed her eyes. Her grip on Raph's arm tightened, but Raph didn't move. Sasha took a deep breath and continued, "I asked him why and ended up with a slap across the face. He took the baby and murdered it, right in front of me. It was at that moment that I realized what a monster he was."

"Why didn't you leave?" Raph asked quietly. "I couldn't leave without my sisters. They didn't believe me when I told them, until they saw it two years later, this time on one of his men. We didn't leave because we had no place to go and we all feared him. The anger he flashed in his eyes when he murdered burned into our souls. I have never forgotten what his eyes looked like when he wanted someone dead. That was why I fainted the other day you had the same look in your eyes. You had it again a few minutes ago when I tossed you into the wall, sorry by the way."

Raph shrugged. "No problem. My brothers do that all the time. I was just angry at myself for being showed up by a girl."

Sasha chuckled. "I was trained to defeat you and your brothers. I must apologize for the other day when I insulted you."

Raphael turned to Sasha and shook his head. "I set you off. I was looking for a fight and Leo wasn't helping. I just lashed out at you because you walked in at the wrong time. I apologize." Sasha smiled and for a second Raph was in awe. She looked gorgeous when she smiled.

"Thank you for talking to me," Sasha said. Raph nodded and stood. He left Sasha sitting on the bed. "Raph?" He stopped and turned back around. "Yeah?" Sasha smiled again. "Where am I?" Raph laughed. "You're in Leo's room, right next door to the dojo."

Sasha laughed. "I figured this couldn't be your room. It is too organized," Sasha stood and walked over to Raph. "Too neat and definably too blue." Sasha smiled and exited the room leaving Raph there with a smile on his face as he shut the door.

April walked down into the sewer lair. She climbed down the ladder and walked into the living room. Donny was sitting on the couch with Mikey. They were eating popcorn and enjoying some cartoon. Donny saw April first.

"Hey April, come join us." April smiled and hopped on the couch between Donny and Mikey. The cartoon was just ending when a crash sounded from the lab and Kia rushed out.

"Kia, what did you do this time?" Donny asked getting up. April's eyes widened and then she turned to Mikey. "Is that one of the girls who attacked you?" Mikey nodded, munching on his popcorn. April turned back to Kia and Donny, who were now arguing about something and getting louder by the minute.

"What did you do?"

"I simply was trying to enhance the power so there would be more light."

"We don't need more light Kia."

"I do."

"What the hell for?"

"To do experiments and to work on things."

"What the hell kind of experiments could you possibly want to do?"

"That is none of your damn business."

"It certainly is my business if you are using my lab."

"Then I won't use your lab."

"Well, you certainly aren't going to conduct possibly harmful experiments out in the open."

"I will if I can't use your lab."

"You are so annoying."

"I am not. You are just screwed up in the head."

"I'm screwed up in the head? You are messed up in your head. No wonder Shredder hit you."

Everyone got quiet. Donny immediately regretted what he said. Kia was clearly hurt that he would say something like that. She slapped Donny across the face, knocking him to the floor, and slammed the door to Donny's lab in his face.

"Kia," Donny yelled getting up. He tried to open the door, but Kia had locked it. "Kia," he said banging on the door. "Come on open the door. I'm sorry. Please talk to me."

The commotion caused everyone to come into the living room. Splinter looked from his son banging on the door, to the closed door itself.

"My son, what has happened?" Donny turned to Splinter. "Master, I need to talk to Kia about something. I need to…apologize for something I said."

Kia opened the door at this point. She glared at Donny, who was still standing in front of the door. "The lab," she said, "is all yours again. I promise not to…infect you with my presence there."

Kia pushed Donny aside and walked past him and into the dojo. Sounds of someone hitting a punching bag were heard emanating from the room. Splinter looked at Donny.

"Go my son." Donny nodded and headed toward the dojo.

Kia was busy punching the hell out of the punching bag while her sister, Judy, held it in place for her. Donny walked in and walked straight for Kia.

"Kia, please listen to me. I…" Kia turned from the punching bag and hit Donny. He hit the ground and groaned. Judy gasped and rushed over to Donny and knelt down next to him. "Are you okay Donny?" Judy said. Donny nodded and looked up at Kia. She looked down at him with fire in her violet eyes, causing them to appear a dark shade of purple.

Kia looked at her fist, then back down at Donny with shock in her eyes. She mumbled something before rushing out of the dojo. Judy turned to Donny. "I'm so sorry about my sister. Usually she is so peaceful and kind." Donny nodded. Judy smiled and lifted her hand to Donny's cheek. She started to examine the area where Kia had hit him. Donny looked up into Judy's green eyes. She smiled.

"What are you doing?" he asked. She leaned down closer to Donny. "I'm flirting with you," she whispered. She looked deep into his eyes as she moved closer to him. Suddenly Autumn rushed in, causing Judy to jump away from Donny.

"Damn you," Autumn said to Donny. "Kia left." Donny jumped up. "She what?" Autumn was near tears. "She left. She was upset at you and she left. What the hell have you done? She could be killed."

Donny rushed out of the dojo, grabbed his bo, trench coat and hat, and headed out of the lair.
