Casey by that time had found them when she made that remark and the look on Raph's face was one that bordered on anger and murder. "Raph leave her alone she's just a girl and if you hurt her April will kill you." "I think he's just scared that a little girl could sneak up on a trained ninja and smack him in the back of the head Casey." Sasha said with a slight attitude towards Raphael. She turned and started back to the apartment leaving the two guys just staring at her backside as she walked away. "Damn" was all Raph could say about her. "Casey are you sure she's related to April cause they are completely different to my knowledge." "Yea I'm sure that they are related but Sasha has had a rough time both of her parents were killed when she was twelve and that kinda affects a person." Casey said softly. "Now I have to chase her down before she arrives home without me and April makes me sleep on the couch."
Casey finally caught up with Sasha about a block from the apartment and she was crying on the steps of a pizza shop. "Baby what's wrong are you ok?" Casey asked all concerned afraid that Raph had hurt her or something. "Nothing is wrong why does he act like he hates everyone Casey?" Sasha asked with such a child-like look that it almost broke Casey's heart. "He's like that baby cause he's different and he hate the fact that the only way he can come up here is in disguise and the only friends he has are April and me besides his family." "Oh well I'll be his friend if he treats me better." "Okay well lets get home before you aunt thinks something has happened to us." So all the way back home she thought of ways to make Raphael like her and maybe become friends with her.
April met them at the door and saw the sad look on Sasha's face and decided to talk to Casey about it after she went to bed. Unknowing to Sasha Raph had followed them home and was waiting for the perfect moment to come in and apologize to Sasha and to talk to her about how she learned to sneak up on people like that. "Casey is Sasha okay? She was so happy when you left and now she looks so upset did something happen while y'all were out?" April asked worried that something had happened. "Sorta we ran into Raph and Sasha hit him and then they got into a fight and he upset her but I think she is upset cause he doesn't have any friends and he needs one." Casey muttered softly before crashing on the bed.
While they were talking Sasha was getting ready for bed and Raph watched from across the street. She had already dressed for bed in the bathroom but her habits before bed mesmerized him. She lit some incense and meditated for about thirty minutes and then said her prayers before turning off her light and the only light came from a small lamp on her dresser lighting up a picture of two people who had to of been her parents.
Raph decided to wait till she had been asleep for about an hour before letting himself into her room when he remembered that April usually let them in if they knocked so he decided that would be a better approach. As he went to the door he remembered that he needed to check in with Mikey or they would worry about him and come looking for him. "Mikey I'm going to crash at April's so don't worry okay." "Yeah Raph that's cool." Mikey replied wondering what in the world his brother was up to. Raphael went to the door and knocked praying that Casey or April would answer the door but they were fast asleep and the only one that heard him was Sasha.
"I wonder who would be banging on the door at two in the morning?" Sasha thought to herself when she realized that no one was going to answer the door. "Who is it?" she asked when she got to the door. "Shit" Raph thought "It's me Raphael please let me in Sasha I'd like to talk to you." He said softly hoping that she would open the door. After a few minutes the door opened and Raph saw that Sasha's eyes were gorgeous a brilliant green dulled by sleep but still beautiful.
"It's two in the morning can't it wait for a decent hour." She said slightly annoyed when she found out it was Raphael at the door. "No it can't I want to apologize for being mean to you and to ask you a question." "Apology accepted but the question can wait till the morning I'll get you a blanket and you can crash on the couch good night." As she walked to the closet Raph watched with amusement as he realized that even though she was related to April she was completely different. She didn't ask a million questions and just accepted the fact that a giant mutant turtle was going to sleep on the couch. With those thought playing in his mind he laid down and went to sleep hoping that he would be up before she was so he had time to prepared his mind and questions.
