Raph POV
"Follow me, Raph! Quick!" Donnie said, running into his lab. Raph laid Isabelle down on the couch, and anxiously waited for Donnie to return. In the meantime, April, Casey, and Master Splinter had emerged into the living room.
"Raph! Is Isabelle alright?" April asked, running to the other side of the couch. Raph smiled grimly at his friend, then looked down at Isabelle.
"I'm not sure yet. We're still waiting for Donnie." he said, and April turned to Donnie's lab.
"DONNIE HURRY UP!" she yelled. Donnie ran out from the lab holding a large case.
"Raph, I need you to put her head into your lap. Leo, grab the pillows and elevate her feet." Donnie commanded. They both did what they were told. Raph slowly stroked Isabelle's hair as Donnie bandaged her arms, and her midsection.
"She has minor cuts all over her arms, and a few bruised ribs, but with time, and bandages, she'll be fine." Donnie said, and Raph sighed in relief.
"Thanks, Don." he said, and Donnie smiled.
"Don't thank me yet. I still have to check her legs." he said. Slowly unwrapping the make-shift bandages, Donnie inspected the injuries, and immediately got up and disappeared into his lab.
"Where are you going?" Raph yelled
"She needs stiches. Badly." Donnie came out, and sat back down. He completely unwrapped Isabelle's legs. Raph felt tears in his eyes. Her legs were bleeding badly, and there was a long cut in each.
"Oh Belle. I'm so sorry." Raph whispered, bending down and kissing his best friend, and now the love of his life's forehead. Donnie stitched her legs up the best he could, and leaned back after re-wrapping them.
"That's all I could do." he said, and Raph smiled.
"It's more then enough." he said, and slowly lifted Isabelle into his lap, and held her tightly.
"I'll go get some pizza!" Mikey suddenly said, and he got up to leave.
"We'll come with." Leo said, and him, Donnie, April, and Casey got up to leave as well. Leo placed a hand on Raph's shoulder before leaving. Raph sat there, in silence, and he carefully set Isabelle back on the couch, and put her head back into his lap. She seemed to be resting better, rather then just being knocked out. A small smile appeared on her face, and Raph leaned back against the couch.
"Raphael." Splinter stood next to his son. Raph lifted Isabelle's head, and placed it on a pillow before standing.
"Yes Sensei?" he asked. Splinter looked at the sleeping girl, injured and broken.
"Why do you think Shredder went after her?" Splinter asked his second eldest son. Raph glanced at Isabelle.
"I remember one day, at lunch. Me and the others were sitting with Isabelle, and she mentioned having a sensei who moved here from Japan. They may have thought it was you." he said, and Splinter sighed.
"I am sorry about what happened to her. It is obvious how you feel about her." he said, and Raph smiled sheepishly.
"Really?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck. Splinter smiled, and placed a hand on his son's shoulder.
"If you wish, I can finish training her, along with April. This way, when you aren't there, she can protect herself." he offered, and Raph nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, Sensei." he said. Splinter left his son alone. Raph sat back down on the couch, and stroked Isabelle's hair. "I'll always be there for you."
Isabelle POV
Isabelle first heard voices. A bunch of boys arguing.
"Shut it Mikey! You might wake her up!" an angry voice said.
"You worry too much." anther said, sarcastically. There was a thud, and someone groaned.
"Geez Raph! No need to hit me!" the voice said again. Isabelle slowly opened her eyes. Standing in front of her, were two large, mutant turtles. One had an orange mask, and the other had a red one.
"Raph?" she asked groggily, and his face lit up.
"Belle!" he nearly shouted, and engulfed her in a tight embrace. Isabelle hugged him back, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." she whispered.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Raph said, pulling back and studying her face. Isabelle smiled.
"Of course I am." she said. Raph rolled his eyes, and pulled her into a tighter hug.
"I thought I lost you." he whispered into her ear. A tear escaped form Isabelle's eye.
"I thought I lost you, after that weirdo hit your head." she whispered back, and Raph laughed.
"He tried, but I had one thing to think about." he said, and Isabelle pulled back, raising an eyebrow.
"And what is that?" she asked.
"You." Raph said.
