The Finding

Chapter 4

"When are we goin' ta get ta this place?" Raphael whined swatting at the goat.

"We will arrive in a few days," Donnie said wearily keeping his eyes on the road due to being car or actually bus sick.

"Who shoulda brought the Dromamine Donnie?" Raph asked gleefully.

"Ruminate me Raph!"

"Wha?"

"He said 'Bite me,'" I said with a chuckle.

This was going to be a long trip.

The greatest pleasures are those that are worth waiting for and the lovely one was worth waiting to take as my own. If those filthy turtles had not interfered then I would have had the one named "Michelangelo" that night up on the girl's roof. To my shame, I was forced to retreat due to a slight miscalculation and the greater luck being on the freaks' side that night. However, biding my time is what I do best and I only needed to wait for the right opportunity. However, imagine my surprise when I discovered that the child had left on a flight to Japan that very night. It had been so long since I had seen my homeland that I was not upset to have to follow my little one, but I was very interested in finding out why he left for Japan of all places.

Unfortunately, I lost track of Michelangelo in Nagano since he had a head start on me. I was furious! How dare he run from Katsuro the Invincible! Where had the brat gone? I was able to "persuade" some of the locals to tell me about meeting a little green haired ningen. I discovered that the brat was heading to the Jinchuu's valley. He was probably trying to find a way to get back to his more unappealing mutant self. How very interesting. Maybe I could use this to my advantage. I could go back to the weakling Makota and convince both him and Michelangelo that I have repented in my ways. Then I could finally destroy the Jinchuu and take the child as my concubine. The plan was flawless. The child was too naive to be able to see through my charade.

I was able to catch up with the little one on the fifth day of his journey. I had been following him for several days now and it almost seemed as if he sensed my presence. It was odd, but I felt almost as if there was a new aura surrounding the child that grew stronger the closer we came to the valley. How very interesting indeed. I was always close by and saw the first meeting between Makota and my intended pleasure slave. I even felt the awakening of Michelangelo's powers. Damn! This was an unexpected complication, but he was young and untrained. He was also very confused and I could siphon his powers to make my own stronger when he was in my control.

I stealthily observed the child training for several weeks before making my move. Makota had just had what seemed to be an emotional discussion with Michelangelo and the child was distracted with his kitten.

"Hello little one," I purred coming up behind him.

"Katsuro!" the child gasped as the kitten leapt out of his lap to hiss at me, "What do you want?!"

"I only wish to make amends," I said removing my helmet and putting on a false face of regret.

"Katsuro! Step away from the child!" I heard from behind me.

Spinning around, I saw that the weakling Makota had arrived with the clan's strongest fighters.

"You will harm this child no more!" Makota stated firmly pulling my little one to stand behind him.

I surprised them all when I dropped to my knees in a full bow to Makota.

"I have shamed our clan and dishonored your teachings," I said, "I wish to repent for I should never have used my powers for evil. Please forgive me master!"

"What lies do you tell now?!" someone shouted from the crowd, "He is not to be trusted!"

"I have done you all wrong," I said laying it on thick, "But none so much as your newest clan member. I used the sacred spell Sapparishita for ill effects on the child."

"How could you?!" someone else yelled in shock.

"I have tried to bend one of the clan to my will," I said secretly smiling inside, "I am ashamed. Please forgive me Michelangelo."

Makota studied me shrewdly. He was trying to read my aura, but he didn't know that I was able to show a false aura to make him think I had changed my ways.

"He speaks the truth," Makota stated to a chorus of gasps around us, "Michelangelo, do you accept Katsuro's apology?"

"Um…yeah. I guess I do," my little one said pulling further behind Makota.

"I will leave the valley if I make you uncomfortable," I offered.

"Really?" Michelangelo said looking up at me with large, disbelieving eyes.

"Yes. If my leaving will help you find peace then I will do so."

"You don't have to leave," he said and then turned and ran to Makota's dwelling.

"Katsuro!" Makota said, "We will all be watching you. If you are truly here to repent, then we welcome you home, but if you are here for another reason…you will have me to deal with."

"Hai Sensei," I said as he showed me to a place that I would stay far from my little one.

I was not welcomed back warmly, but I played the role of repentive student. I toiled in different chores to "make up" for what I had done in my past. I saw Michelangelo watching me often from afar. One afternoon, I dangled some tempting bait in front of the little one.

"Good afternoon child," I said.

"Hello," he said shying away from me.

"I can change you back," I said to him suddenly.

"What?" my little one said with disbelief in his voice.

"Allow me to show you my true intentions to do right in my life," I said, "I can give you back your old life."

He seemed to wilt before me and began to tremble.

"Thank you Katsuro, but no thank you," he said sadly, "Nobody can give me back my old life."

Michelangelo then turned and ran from me once again. Nobody saw me smile evilly.

"Good," I thought gleefully, "The filthy vermin have already sown the seeds to destroy all family ties. Now all I have to do is bind his soul and the little one is mine."

To be continued.
