Thanks for the review! this is just a short little chapter but the next one will be longer, i am trying to get my web site up and running and that is taking up alot of my time. Please read and review.
The run home seemed to take no time at all, he burst through the door yelling random bits of information until the entire lair was awake and in the living room. He managed to get a grip on himself and tell his brothers what had gone on, once he finished the lair was silent and for the first time he noticed Yun was not there.
"We are not safe here" Master Splinter said solemnly breaking the silence " We must leave"
Miha offered to take them to where her clan was staying , Leo had a sneaking suspicion that this might have more to do with showing Yun what Karai was capable of than it did with keeping his brothers safe, but either way he was glad to safer place to stay.
After a few minutes of hurried packing they left the lair with only what they could carry. His nerves were finally starting to calm after his panicked hurry home and he could now feel the deep sense of sorrow coming from his brother. The had lost their childhood home to the foot years before and now it seemed history was going to repeat itself.
Soon they were out of the sewers and leaping there way across the city sky line. Miha led the way , as far as he could tell they were headed towards the docks but it was hard to be sure as Miha keep changing directions at random. He thought it odd for her to be so paranoid especially when they were all ninja , if some one were follow they would know it.
But in that last though unlike most others he was dead wrong. He sensed Miharu's aggression long before he saw the cause, with a putrid whiff of smoke a figure appeared just a few feet ahead of them blocking the jump to the next building. He barely had time to register his own shock let alone make a move , but as it turned out he didn't need to Miha had already drawn her weapons and stood prepared to engage the mysterious enemy.
"Stand aside Doku" She ordered in a firm tone. A horrible stench reached Leonardo's nose and he cringed, who ever this guy was he smelled like a rotting corpse.
The figure chuckled and stepped out from the shadows, to Leo's horror he found their attacker not only smelled like a rotting corpse but honestly appeared to be one. Miharu didn't flinch at the sight of him not even when he opened his mouth to speak and maggots sprinkled out from his decomposing jaw.
"Miharu, you are very far from home little one" The creature addressed in a deep masculine tone.
"Hai" She answered not lowering her guard even for a second.
"I wonder did Master Yun send you" He said beginning to circle her "No…. I think not"
Leo could feel the tension in the air increase and for the first time he was aware that they were not alone, in fact it would not have surprised him if they were surrounded on all sides by dozens of warriors
"Yun would not send you for something of such great importance" The creature continued , he Miha now circled each other in a menacing way.
"You are of little importance Doku" She spat obviously angered by the thinly veiled insult.
"Me?" The creature exclaimed an expression similar to a poorly faked shock laced with amusement carving its way through the rotten bug ridden features of its face.
"Oh … this is good….. He did not tell you" The creature mocked " Yun cares very little about our affairs abroad….. in fact he hasn't come for us at all"
"Master Yun has come to stop you, he would not lie" She insisted.
"And so he did not" The creature answered " What you really need to ask yourself little one is stop us from what?" He continued leaning in close to Miha on the last word.
And with that the word surrounding them exploded into a furry of motion.
