Wow! Thanks for the reviews everyone I'm glad people are enjoying the story so far!

Turtlefreak121: Grins Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the story and Anya. I love little kids; they're my best friends. There was this one little girl Avery who used to show off all her jewelry and she was just so cute! I met her over the summer when I was teaching at a preschool. Anyway I think you'll enjoy this chapter!

DaimondOfTheMoon: Glad you're enjoying the story so far too. Yeah, Anya probably wouldn't be able to jump from one building to another like that. Then again the way some kids bounce off the walls I wouldn't be surprised if they were capable of doing so. LOL.

Canadian Pirate Queen: Thanks for the compliment. To tell you the truth I didn't think I would be able to pull it off either. Thanks for the support!

BubblyShell22: Thanks for the support I'm glad the chapter didn't suck. Enjoy this chapter!

Now on with the story!

"What is the meaning of this?" The Shredder thundered angrily at Cade.

Karai still stood there frozen.

"I came to take what is mine!" Cade snapped. Karai saw a glint of something she had never seen before…. Insanity.

"As far as I'm concerned my daughter DOES NOT belong to you!" The Shredder thundered.

"Whoever said I wanted this bitch? I want MY daughter!" Cade hissed.

"There is no child here!"

"Oh yes there is! And I'm going to find her if it's the last thing I do! Where is she Karai?" Cade said shaking her shoulders violently.

"I'm never going to tell you." Karai said coolly. Cade threw her down in frustration.

"I'll find her myself then!" He snapped pushing past everyone else.

"Karai? Who was that?" Shredder asked darkly turning a suspicious gaze at Karai.

Karai gulped.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE LOONEY TUNES?" Mikey exclaimed.

Leo rolled his eyes in exasperation. After insistent begging on bringing Anya home Mikey had done nothing but ask Anya questions.

"Nope." The small girl replied plainly.

"Holy crap kid! Come on I'll watch an episode with you you're going to love it!" Mikey said dragging Anya into the living room.

Leo had to admit there was something familiar about the young girl. Her jet-black hair, her emerald eyes, her agility and flexibility…. But what was it? The fact that this girl had never said she was lost or away from her parents made things seem even more suspicious.

Leo walked into Donny's lab wondering if he had noticed anything familiar.

"What are you doing?" Leo asked.

"Mikey broke his shell cell AGAIN. I swear this has to be the umpteenth time this week. If he does it again he's not getting a new one he needs to be more responsible with his things." Donny said not looking from his work.

"Do you think there's anything suspicious about Anastasia?" Leo asked coming right out with it.

"Who? Anya? No, not really. She's so adorable isn't she? Jeez, I just want to give her big giant hug until she explodes!" Donny replied grinning.

"You don't think it's odd that she didn't mention her parents? Or how she ended up on that roof? It seems impossible that she has that good of hearing."

"Oh come on Leo, she's four years old, I highly doubt we should be suspecting her in the least." Leo was about to reply when there was a hard smacking sound. Donny and Leo glanced at each other and ran out to the dojo area.

What the two brothers saw shocked them. Raph was flat on his back rubbing his jaw and Anya was standing above him fist clenched. Mikey was rolling around on the floor laughing hysterically.

"Mikey! It's not funny! What happened?" Leo said harshly running over to Raph.

"Relax Fearless Leader I'm fine. I asked Anya if she wanted to rough house with me and she took it a bit too literally. She has very good aim, something I didn't perfect until I was ten." Raph said getting off the floor.

"You….Got…Hit…By…..A….Girl!" Mikey said through fits of giggles making him laugh even harder.

"Oh shut up shell for brains!" Raph shouted hitting Mikey upside the head.

Leo eyed Anya. "Where did you learn to punch so well?"

"I don't know, my mom I guess." Anya said with a shrug.

"Your mother wouldn't happen to be a Purple Dragon or anything would she?"

"Nope. She's just really good at mar….at mart…..at fighting arts. I've never been taught, but it's probably in me somewhere."

"Do you mean martial arts?" Donny said with a grin as he inspected Raph to see if his jaw was broken. It wasn't luckily.

"Yeah! That's it! marshallal art!" Anya exclaimed excitedly. Donny laughed and even Raph gave a slight chuckle. Mikey was practically dying of laughter on the floor.

"So you got it from your mother's genes then?" Leo asked.

"My mom doesn't wear jeans, but yeah she's in me somewhere you just can't see her."

"Is she not with you?"

"No she is. I just left the house without her knowing." Anya said again.

Leo, who was getting no amusement by any of this like his brothers, stared at her. "If you go home then are you going to tell your mom about us?"

"Nope. She all ready knows about you anyway." Instantly the three others stopped laughing and looked at their older brother concerned.

Leo's face turned stone cold.

"How?"

"You know who she is. My mommy is Karai, aren't you friends with her or my grandpa or something?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cade dashed up the stairs. He remembered Karai's house well. He ran to the location where her room was. He flung open the door to reveal it empty. He gave out a cry of rage and dashed down the stairs again.

"Karai? How does he know you?" The Shredder persisted. Hun had a grin on his face, enjoying the pleasure that for once, Karai had screwed up and not him.

"I….I..M…My Lord…I…Um….."

"For God sake Karai! Where the hell is she? She's not in your freakin' room where did you hide her?" Cade thundered.

Karai's heart stopped beating. For once she forgot that her father was standing there and turned to Cade.

"What do you mean she's not there? I left her there this morning. She's gone?"

"So you WERE hiding her!" Cade pointed out accusingly.

"Now is not the time for your stupid inquiries, I have to find MY daughter. You didn't want her for the longest time but now all you want her for her to get drugs for you. You never loved her!" Karai hissed dangerously.

"What?" The Shredder hissed.

"Oh yeah, this coming from the girl who abandoned her only child!"

"What?" Shredder shouted. The foot ninjas and Hun looked back and forth between the three like a tennis match.

"You know down right well why I did that! You don't even know what you're talking about! So shut up until you do know what you're talking about!" Karai snapped her whole body boiling with rage.

"WHAT?" The Shredder thundered.

"I can do whatever I feel like." Cade said coldly.

Before Karai could even blink, Cade threw something shiny. It hit her hard in the stomach and she gasped for air. She felt something warm and sticky all along her abdomen and diaphragm. Blood spilled from the wound. Stuck into her was the knife Cade had been holding earlier.

Karai gave one last shuddering gasp and then…nothing
