Kara was taking a hot shower after tonight's fight sighing in content as the hot water hit her tense muscles and aching body slowly beginning to relax; the music playing helping as well while she washed her hair and body.

After a couple of minutes just standing under the hot water, she climbed out wrapping a towel around herself and walked out to her room to change into her pajamas and go to bed for the night but jumped when the guys piled into her place one by one each stopping as they saw her in just a towel, each turning redder than the next; Donnie being the last to see and along with his burning hot face a trail of drool slid down the side of his mouth.

Kara's face turned just as red before she screamed and gripped the towel tight around her with one hand and used the other to grab the nearest object, which was a vase and threw it at them, screaming at them, "Get out! Out! Out! Out!"

They yelled in surprise while dodging every object she was throwing at them before stumbling outside.

April came in through the door and blinked seeing Kara throw everything she could pick up at them in just a towel. "Kara! Calm down! They're not here anymore."

Eventually her face returned to its normal color, turning to look at April and breathed in deeply, letting out a slow sigh, "Ok...why're you guys here?"

"April is taking us to a noodle shop" Mikey said from outside.

She raised a brow and looked over at April who led her to her room. "I'll explain on the way so get dressed."

Kara sighed and closed the door, blushing deeply at the thought of Donnie seeing her almost naked. "Ugh, that was so embarrassing..."

Donnie was still in a daze after seeing Kara like that picturing her hair wet, the tips of her hair clinging to her neck, her cheeks flushed from the hot water that slid down her bare skin, and the way she held the towel to her chest. He blushed again before mentally slapping himself. "Get a grip, Donatello! You're a gentleman!...She looked so beautiful though.." He smiled to himself till a slap woke him from his thoughts. He glared over at Raph who grinned at him. "Perv." He chuckled when Donnie blush darkened before opening his mouth to protest till Leo pointed at the balcony, seeing the girls walk out.

Kara was wearing a black pull over hoodie with dark blue jean pants and black converse. She wore her trademark cap and had her eyes covered; the hood pulled over her head. She didn't make eye contact with anyone as she spoke to them. "April and I will go through the hotel and meet you guys downstairs..." She said clearly still embarrassed before turning to leave with her, closing the balcony door.

"Well...that was awkward." Mikey chimed in to break the silence making Raph groan and smack him across the head before they jumped down to see them.

"You guys wanna speed it up a little?" April said impatiently turning around to look at them. Kara stopped beside her looking to her right where a closed movie theater was seeing Donnie had snuck past her. "Are you saying turtles are slow?"

"That's a hurtful stereotype..." Mikey said appearing beside her at the entrance of the theater with Raph behind him.

"Trust us, April. We are better off keeping a looow profile. We find people treat us better when they don't know we exist."

"I hear that." Kara said while looking around still uncomfortable with making eye contact with them.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so excited to get you guys out of the sewers for a change." April said, clapping her hands excitedly.

"What are you talking about? We go out all the time." Raph said, poking his head out to look at her.

"Yeah, but tonight you're gonna do something besides hitting people." She said making Raph "aw" in disappointment.

Kara smiled at him but stopped, raising her hand at them. "Shh, guys, do you hear that?" They all quieted down listening closely till they heard glass breaking and a yell of fright. They dashed to the noodle shop where they saw silhouettes breaking things and throwing stuff everywhere. Kara's eyes widened seeing another someone getting pushed around and burst through the door seeing three guys in matching uniforms.

"So much for not hitting people." Leo said making Raph grin. "Oh well!"

The guys were fighting them with ease. In fact, it looked like they weren't even breaking a sweat. She watched them in amusement letting them have their fun till she noticed April was helping Murakami to safety. She went over to them, putting his other hand around her shoulder, helping April adjust his weight as they moved outside of the shop and out of harm's way. She waited patiently while April tended to Murakami and looked up seeing the Purple Dragons fleeing, the leader waving his hands in the air and chuckles at how ridiculous he looked before helping Murakami into the shop with April.

"Dude! They were beating up a blind guy! There's no enough. Now they'll think we're wimps and we don't have the guts to finish the job!"

Leo looked at Raph not knowing what to say.

Kara walks up to him, crossing her arms. "So, you want to be just like them? Beating up weaklings? Believe me, they're not worth it." She patted his shoulder, Raph giving her a pout.

"Wow, that was great guys!"

"Thanks April! Did you see when I flipped that one guy over the counter? Did it look cool? Hehe, I bet it looked cool." Donnie said smiling to himself.

"The coolest!" She said with a fake smile.

"Well, that was quite a show!" Kara grinned patting Donnie's shoulder making him blush and give his geekish smile.

"My friends, I am indebted to you. Please, allow me to make a meal free of charge." Murakami said with a gentle smile.

"Well, I'll allow that." Raph said

"What is your favorite dish?" Murakami asked, smiling.

The boys looked at each other and smiled, shouting. "Pizza!"

Kara watched, impressed, at Murakami's work. His skills were amazing; it's like she was watching a whole new person.

"Wow, he's like a ninja..but with food!" Mikey yelled excitedly. Murakami set dumpling like food in front of each turtle and her. "Pizza Gyoza!" He said and waited for them to try it. As soon as they took their first bite, she could see their eyes pop out before continuing to eat.

"Wow, it's like I got a one-way ticket to flavorville!" Donnie said happy with his meal.

"You know this is good too." April said holding up a bowl of soup while Kara watched them eat. Donnie noticed she wasn't eating and moved next to her. "Aren't you hungry?"

She lowered her head, hiding her eyes. He tilted his head before reaching over and lifting her cap from her eyes seeing her blushed cheeks making her beautiful eyes stand out. She looked away shyly, scratching her cheek. "...Idunnohowtousechopstick.." she mumbled under her breath.

"Uh..e-excuse me?" Donnie asked not understanding what she said.

"I don't know how to use chopsticks..." She said in a whisper, looking at the others to make sure they didn't hear her luckily, they were listening to Murakami's story to pay attention to her.

He chuckled at her making her glare at him he raising his hands defensively. "Not making fun of you, just thought it was cute that you're acting shy about this...I-I mean!" He blushed trying to find something to say but sighed in defeat and stood behind her. "Here, I'll help you." He smiled giving her the chopsticks and taking her hand showing her how to hold them and grab the pizza gyoza. She smiled getting a grip on the dish only for it to slip making her laugh some and try again. With him still holding her hand he helped her put it in her mouth. "Wow! This is amazing!" She smiled brightly and continued eating, Donnie eventually letting go and watching her eat, staring dreamily at her.

The next day Kara was practicing using her gloves in the dojo, Master Splinter watching her and helping her with her form. She was getting ready to spar against him with a blindfold till she heard Leo and Raph arguing outside. Master Splinter stood up and walked out to see what the trouble was while she continued to train, punching the air and doing upward kicks. After a couple of minutes of training, sweat trickling down the side of her face she sighed heavily wiping away the sweat and left to get something to drink.

That night Kara went with the guys to go after the Purple Dragons, finding their hideout that was an abandoned fortune cookie factory. The guys burst through the window, Kara following behind as Leo pointed his sword at them, "Freeze, dirtbags!" Kara grinned, in her fighting stance, but noticed Bradford and Afro Biker walking up from behind the Purple Dragon leader.

"Aw man, this is awkward. It's Chris Bradford. My ex-friend and that other guy!" Mikey said from beside her.

"The name is Xever. So, you won't forget I'll write it on your shells, with these." He says pulling out butterfly knives. He noticed Kara and grinned more. "And I see you brought the pretty lady with you. We have some unfinished business." Kara scrunched her nose but blinked as Donnie stepped protectively in front of her and soon the fight commenced.

The Purple Dragons were no trouble, but they were having a hard time with Xever and Chris. Seeing Xever was running up to Leo with his back turned she slammed her body against Xever's side pushing him into the wall. He looked over at her and grinned, standing up straight. "Ah, I see you want to get started now. So impatient." He cooed before charging at her. Using his knives as a distraction he goes to kick her but blocks with her arm before grabbing his leg and pulling him towards her and into her fist, Xever hitting the floor after the impact. She kept her stance while he kicked himself up and started using his knives more but that didn't keep her from fighting dodging every attack while getting in quick jabs. With each thrust of his arms, she could tell he was getting faster till he ended up kicking her in the gut and into the wall, landing on top of broken crates. He picked her up her cap sliding off her head and giving him view of her eyes, "Beautiful." He said as he stroked his thumb under her left eye, "I would love to see them twist in pain." He grinned maliciously while bringing his knife closer to her face. She stood there frozen in place till Leo and Raph came into view and helped her causing Xever to fight them. She shook her head and pulled her cap onto her head before joining the fight until Leo called for a retreat. She followed after the boys, Raph helping her out the window while yelling at Leo about the retreat.

"Hey! Stay and fight you cold blooded cowards!" She could hear Xever yell and looked back noticing they weren't following.

In the lair Kara was tending to Donnie and Mikey making sure they were ok before going over to Leo then Raph who shooed her away, not in the mood. She sighed and pulled her cap over her eyes before sitting on the ground beside Mikey, petting his head as he laid on the couch, bummed.

"Man, could that fight have been any more embarrassing?" Raph said aloud punching the dummy.

"Yeah, we could of been hit in the face with pies." Mikey said making Raph growl at him.

"At least you weren't being hit on.." Kara muttered under her breath but blinked when Donnie suddenly appeared right in her face. "Who hit on you?!" Kara blinked at him again as she told him what happened. "That creep! He's gonna pay for doing that to my-er-our Kara!"

She blushed and hid her face before hearing her phone go off and answered it. "It's April. Something happened to Murakami!"

They all arrived at the noodle shop where a worried April paced in front of the shop.

"April, what's wrong?" Leo asked as she led them into the shop, showing them the note.

"It's Murakami. Someone left this." April answered him.

"Sweet, a free knife!" Mikey smiled as Donnie took the note. "The note, dummy." He said with a sigh. While Donnie read the note Kara stared at the knife and knew it was Xever's. Glaring at it she pulled the knife from the wall and tossed it into the trash, glancing over at Raph who began to speak. "What're we waiting for? Let's bust in there and save Murakami."

"Not so fast. Think, Raphael." Leo started as Donnie joined in, chuckling, "Heh, those are two words that don't usually go together."

"It's obviously a trap." Leo continued.

"Well, what choice do we have?" Raph retorted at him.

"Maybe we do need to think more like Xever. He crossed the line dragging Murakami into this. He's gotta learn that we can cross the line too. No more mister nice turtle." Leo said with a grin, his arms crossed.

"Yes! I never liked mister nice turtle." Raph said with a fist pump and cracking his knuckles.

Knowing they had a plan Kara let them run off while she went and searched for Murakami. Remembering them say something about the abandoned fortune cookie factory she snuck through the alleyways and gasped seeing they had him tied up, hanging on the edge of the building. She glared at Xever, clenching her fist. "Oh. No. He. Didn't." She looked over seeing something flash past her and knew it was the turtles. Nodding her head, thinking of a quick plan, she began Operation: Find Something Soft for Murakami to Land On..the title could use some work but shrugged it off and went right to work calculating, meaning guessing, where he was going to land and made a big pile of soft trash bags under him to break his fall. She could hear the turtles fighting and saw Xever cutting his rope. She quickly hid behind an alley and waited till the guys got his attention and started climbing the side of the building to reach Murakami. "It's ok, I'm here to help." She told him when she reached him, he nodding to her. "I'm going to drop you down but don't worry you'll be safe, I made sure to soften the fall." She looked over seeing the guys were cornered and had the urge to go help them but saw the Purple Dragon leader toss Leo one of his blades before leaving. She smiled some and went back to work cutting the rope and watched him fall into the pile of garbage. She climbed down the building in time to see the turtles already there waiting for her, Donnie helping her down. "Thanks, Don." She smiled and helped them take Murakami back to his shop.

"Here. Take this as a token of my gratitude; Pizza Gyoza!" Mr. Murakami spoke while holding out a wrapped package of gyoza for them

"Awesome! Thanks Murakami-san!" Donnie said, taking the package from the man.

"You're welcome, turtle-san." Mr. Murakami said with a small smile and a raised brow.

They bowed their heads in appreciation, Donnie looked at him questioningly. "Wait, how did you?"

"I do have other senses: Touch, smell~" he said with a smile as they looked towards Mikey who sniffed himself and almost gagged.

"You don't think we're weird or scary?" Leo asked in a surprised voice.

"You saved my life! Who am I to complain?" Mr. Murakami responded making Mikey hug him. Kara smiled and bid farewell to them heading home for a goodnights sleep.

She laid down in bed, closing her eyes and had a peaceful sleep not knowing the dangers that were coming her way.

Oh, finally finished! This took me about 4 hours to write! But I'm finally done for the night. I hope everyone enjoys it and if you have any ideas or such don't be afraid to review or comment! :D
